About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden’s plan laid out on Twitter to cancel “student loan debt,” that was announced today, is not sitting well with critics, including the conservative Heritage Foundation. The announcement comes less than 80 days before the November midterm elections and the idea is very popular with young people. Republicans, however, say the debt cancellation is primarily going to benefit the well off. Cofounder of RightForge.com and Senior Editor at the Federalist, Chris Bedford, joins to share his reaction to President Biden's student loan proposal, what he makes of the timing and how he thinks this will play politically heading into the midterms. Bedford gives us his takeaways on the results of the primaries in Florida and New York. And a new report says China's mistreatment of the Uyghur religious minority amounts to "modern-day slavery." Chair of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Nury Turkel, joins to talk more about the report and what stuck out to him the most about it. Finally this evening, Pope Francis is preparing for a busy end of summer at the Vatican. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, discusses the Vatican picking up again as vacation time comes to an end. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
