Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College, all things Hillsdale at Hillsdale.

I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there. And of course, I'll listen to the Hillsdale Dialogues, all of them at Hugh for Hillsdale.com, or just Google, Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale. Morning, glory, and even Grace, America, and a great big Labor Day weekend. Do you, summer is coming to a close, but the big weekend pod will go on, as it will today.

A lot ahead for you today.

Matt Continenti, Ben Dominic, as usual.

Also, Jim Garrity and Eli Lake, we've got a lot to look over, including the tragedy in
