On today's program I will discuss, from a Biblical perspective, some of the recent news items. The first item on the agenda is the Fort Hood Attack. During this discussion, I will quote from Christian Apologist James White (earlier this morning I asked him, via email, for a comment about this situation - I will read that comment during the program). Also, I will play some comments made by Dr. Albert Mohler about what terror teaches us.

On the second half of the program, I will speak with Dennis Smith.

Dennis G. Smith is the Senior Fellow in Health Care Reform at The Heritage Foundation's Center for Health Policy Studies, where he researches ways to improve the Medicaid program, the future of long-term care and state health care reform initiatives.

Before joining Heritage in May 2008, Smith was the former director of the federal Center for Medicaid and State Operations. He had been in charge of Medicaid - a health program for poor people that is managed by the states and funded jointly by the states and federal government - for nearly seven years. In this position, he directed a staff of more than 400 people and supervised more than $350 billion in federal programs, including the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP).

I would also like to spend a few moments on the program today discussing the hype surrounding the H1N1 Virus. I will discuss some recent investigations into the statistics associated with this "epidemic".
