Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized

and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. He's here.

Now broadcasting from the underground command post.

Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building,

we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Hello, America. Mark Levine here. Our number 877-38138-11, 877-38138-11.

Well, it was a little upsetting and shocking just a few minutes ago, watching the president's press conference as many of you may have been.

And he gets started in a secret service agent, whispers in his ear, something like, we've got to go.

Let's go. And the president follows them out of the briefing room.

Now, as of now, what we know is what the president told us, and only that, which is, at 17th in Pennsylvania Avenue,

which is right at the corner of the outside of the White House, one of the corners there, gunfire.

President said he believes it was one suspect he withhold, and the individual was shot by the secret service, or by other uniformed individual.

That's all we know. I'm sure we'll know much more before the end of the program.

But it does show you how frightening the situation is, and the President of the United States is the number one target.

He's the number one target, whether it's domestic terrorists, whether it's international terrorists, whatever it is, he's the number one target.

And the number of death threats, I'm sure, that this president faces is absolutely staggering and frightening.

And we have no idea if it had anything to do with the President, or what the situation was.

But I'm not going to speculate, because there's no point in that either. So we'll get back with the program,

spending an enormous amount of time going through different things, because there's so much out there.
