Good morning, Gloria, Neen, Grace, America.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.

No, I'm not back from vacation.

I pre-tape this.

Thanks to Kurt Schlichter for sitting in for me all week. I'll be back on Monday. Dr. Arn was gone in the last two weeks as well, but he sent in as his reserve quarterback, Khalil Habib. Dr. Habib has been a guest on the show before and I'm just, we may overthrow Dr. Arn and just keep bringing him back so he can teach us all Shakespeare,

since none of us can remember it.

By the way, Dr. Abit, how many of your students arrive fluent in Shakespeare?

You know, I have to tell you quite a lot.

I was surprised.

I didn't know if anyone would even take this course.

I'm currently teaching Shakespeare's Henry the Sixth Blaze and Montescue, and it was oversubscribed.

I had to lift the cap on the course, and there was still a waiting list.

And Shakespeare's beloved on our campus, students absolutely love him.

But no one's read to Henry the Sixth Place, which didn't surprise me, because for whatever reason, they're ignored.

They're overshadowed by Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, but this is the first time they're

coming into contact with Henry the Six, but they seem to be enjoying it.

And they can be very overshadowed by Richard III, which you're going to get to today,

because he's such a great villain, and villains are always more interesting than out of place.
