About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: As the Biden White House is on vacation, its efforts to promote and defend abortion continue online. However, pro-life groups are encouraging pro-life supporters to remain vigilant and not to be tricked or misled by false claims by the abortion industry. Meanwhile, a judge in Florida says he is likely to make public at least part of the document detailing the evidence that led to the recent search of the home of former President Donald Trump. Executive Editor at the Federalist, Joy Pullmann, joins to share what sort of information is in the affidavit and how much of it she expects will be made public. And the United States government is set to hold trade talks with Taiwan. The discussions are a sign of US support for the self-ruled island. Senior Research Fellow in the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation, Dean Cheng, joins to tell us more about the trade discussions between the United States and Taiwan and whether it is anything important or more of a symbolic action. Finally this evening, Medair is a Swiss-based humanitarian organization inspired by the Christian faith. Senior Global Emergency Response Team Officer at Medair, Damon Elsworth, joins to tell us more about his organization's work in Ukraine over the last month.
