Thanks for listening to the Von Hesler Doctrine podcast.

Remember, you can hear the show every weekday from 9 to noon right here on 95.5 WSB, Atlanta's News and Talk.

Live from Sherwood Forest in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, hour one of the Von Hesler Doctrine begins right now.

I am your lovable, huggable,

mid-morning chat host, Eric Von Hessler,

surrounded by my doctrinares and your doctrinares,

why these doctrinares belong to the entire world.

Tim Andrews is here, Autumn Fisher is here,

and of course, Jerry Yamamoto.

Before we go any further, I want to address obviously it's a very tough day for America. Unfortunately, we can't say we haven't been

through it before. We have to go through it all too often. And it's, you know, to me, I think I mentioned this the last time.

We have so many of these things now.

It's difficult for me to remember which one was the last one.

But I had the same thing happen to me this time, which is about a week or so ago.

I'm driving home after the show.

And I have this bizarre thought that pops up into my head.

Wow, it's been a while since we have one of these stories.

And every time I have that thought, there's a dread that comes after it,

because that always means it's not going to be long now.

I mean, we used to deal with these things, at least on a national sense.

I mean, tragedies happen everywhere all the time.

But in a national sense, it seems to me when I was younger, we would deal with these things.
