About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: As the November 8th midterm elections move in fast, and the Biden Administration takes the heat for persistently high gas prices at the pumps, President Joe Biden is raising the possibility of imposing a windfall tax on energy companies if they don’t boost domestic production. Sunday night, the candidates for governor in Georgie held a debate and clashed over abortion. Cofounder and Director of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, joins to share how big of a role he believes abortion will play in the midterm elections. A key battleground state for control of the Senate is Wisconsin. Republican Senator Ron Johnson is running for a third term. He faces the state's Lieutenant Governor, Democrat Mandela Barnes. Both sides are spending millions and the race remains neck to neck. Meanwhile, "The bird is freed," tweeted the new CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, on the heels of his $44 billion takeover of the tech platform. Director of Policy and Government Affairs at the American Principles Project, Jon Schweppe, joins to share the latest as Musk is wasting no time, firing top executives and with more layoffs planned. Finally this evening, Pope Francis has a busy schedule this week. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us what's on the Pope's agenda.
