Morning and glory, evening, Grace, America.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.

Lots to cover today, including developments in the war with Iran and the attack on the synagogue in West Bloomfield.

I'm starting the hour with Dan Cienor.

He is founder and host of Call Me Back.

Arc Media has grown out of Call Me Back.

It now embraces a universe of podcasts and other information.

I myself am a Call Me Back insider.

I think you ought to be a Call Me Back Insider, because it's probably consistently the best coverage of the war anywhere in the podcasting world. And I hope my friends at commentary aren't mad at me. Dan's on their board, so he'll smooth it out if that's the case. But Dan Cynor, welcome back. Good to have you.

Thanks, you. Good to be with you. And we love Commentary Magazine. And John is and the team are close
