Segment 3 – The Basement Talks
“Matters Media debuted its new series THE BASEMENT TALKS on Amazon this month. The provocative six-part series follows the 1994 crimes, trial, and murder of John Salvi-and the unimaginable untold story of six women-all of them leaders in the pro-life and pro-choice movements, who sought to ensure that this violence would never happen again. Via secret meetings in a windowless basement, these women strive to understand the other side and forge unlikely friendships that capture both sides of the abortion debate like never before. There’s the public story and then there’s the basement talks.” (Originally aired July 9, 2024)
Josh Sabey and Sarah Perkins, husband and wife, are co-director’s of “The Basement Talks.”
Segment 4 & 5 – When the devil does tell the truth
“Satan and his demonic minions hate the sacrifice of the Mass and Eucharistic adoration in general because they are daily reminders of Christ overcoming them and their infernal kingdom through the Cross. … Satan and his demonic minions are irredeemably opposed to the truth. They hate the truth. More to the point, they hate him who is ‘the way, and the truth, and the life,’ our Lord Jesus Christ.” Tom Nash joins us in-studio to explain. (Originally aired July 19, 2024)
