Segment 1 – Intro & News
Segment 2 & 3 – Teresa’s Two Sense
Our guest went missing so Teresa talked about the important work of Catholic media. She also talks more on the media scandal of “60 Minutes” editing their interview of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Segment 4 – Two Polls Offer Hope to Florida Pro-Lifers
“This month, two separate polls have been released on Florida’s Question 4, which would place legal abortion in Florida’s state constitution. Both polls show that support for this ballot question falling well short of the 60 percent threshold needed for passage. Last week Victory Insights released the results of a poll of likely voters it conducted in late September. It has the ballot measure receiving 49.7 percent support. Similarly, a recent New York Times/Siena College poll of likely Florida voters found Question 4 receiving only 46 percent support.” Michael New has written on this.
Michael New is a Senior Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute and Assistant Professor of Practice at the Catholic University of America.
Segment 5 – Bible Verse of the Week
Teresa and Gail talk about Deuteronomy 18:10-14 – “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
