I'm Hugh, you, and the Relief Actors, Studio West. It's got a lot coming up today. Senator Tom Cotton, Dan Rundee, other experts on what looks to be the inevitability of hostilities with Iran. President

Trump speaking about that at the Board of Peace. I have that tape as well. But before today's

program, I was able to pre-record an interview that will drop next week. When I'm gone, Kurt Schleacher will be my guest host next week, and you'll hear the whole interview then.

But it gave me such great joy.

I just want to let you hear a little bit of it right now.

Dennis, welcome back.

This gives me great joy to talk to you.

How are you, my friend?

That is a complex question.

I'm, uh, since November 12th, 2024, I have been paralyzed from the shoulders down.

So that, uh, goes a long way in answering your question. On the other hand, I am thinking as creatively as ever, and I am able to speak, which every doctor who's commented on it and none of them have been religious

as called a miracle stop right there i'm not giving away the story you have to wait till next week

you can order dennis's book right now it's available uh in bookstores on monday but you can

pre-order it so it's delivered by then.

It's called, If There Is No God, the Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil, it is written with the assistance of his dear friend, Joel Alperson.

It's a fabulous book.

I've read it over the last week knowing I was going to talk to Dennis today.

And we spent a half hour on subjects immediate and remote, enduring and eternal and just

as fresh as yesterday's news.

We talked about 10-7.
