What to listen for this hour. As Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh speaks out...saying he hasn't sexually assaulted anyone. Acusser number 2’s friends speaks out...word is that a third accuser may surface. Is Rod Rosenstein ready to pack up his cubicle? Weight Watchers has changed their thinking and their name..Bill Cosby trying to stay home and watch reruns of his old TV show..
Strong character witnesses on both sides in the fight over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. Former co-workers are defending Deborah Ramirez, a Yale University classmate of Kavanaugh's, who tells The New Yorker that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a dorm room party and touched her without consent. Denver -based victims advocate Lisa Calderon worked with Ramirez.
For her to come forward, I know it's taken a lot from her and I know it's probably taken a toll.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein meets with President Trump on Thursday to learn his fate at the Department of Justice. Trump's legal team says the Russia investigation should be postponed if Rosenstein goes. Democratic Senator Chris Coons disagrees.
President Trump publicly and privately has said more times than I can recount that he doesn't believe that that's a legitimate investigation. He keeps calling it a rigged witch hunt, and Rod Rosenstein as the deputy attorney general has been centrally charged with sustaining, directing it, supporting it
Quote of the day:
"Pray, pray, pray; prayer is the key to the treasures of God. It is the weapon of combat and of victory in every battle for good over evil." (Pope Pius XII)
Coming up our Saint of the day a man who had the cards physically stacked against him.
Segment two
And now our Saint of the day is Bl. Herman the Cripple who stands as a shining light, reminding us that God purposely chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. Blessed Herman proves God doesn't make junk. He was a genius born with spina bifida, a cleft palate and cerebral palsy. Some medical historians have suggested that Blessed Herman suffered from (ALS) or spinal muscular atrophy. The cards clearly not in his favor despite all of his physical setbacks this man thrived. Even though Herman had physical disabilities, he built fine musical instruments and intricate astronomical equipment by hand. When he became blind at the end of his life, he dedicated himself to prayer and poetry. Many Catholics are familiar with his music considering he wrote two of the most beautiful prayers the Catholic Church possesses―. But there is no genetic disorder that makes a human being less than a human. Instead, only a deep-rooted hatred and sociopathic misanthropy is the cause of such evil and hate..
The cure for that hatred? Love and its Author.
Bill Cosby had potentially faced up to 30 years in prison, but he now faces a maximum of 10 years after prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to merge the three counts of his conviction into one for sentencing purposes.
Prosecutors asked a judge on Monday to sentence Cosby to five to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, saying he had shown "no remorse" for his actions. However, Cosby's defense attorney, Joseph P. Green, asked for a sentence of house arrest, citing Cosby's advanced age and blindness.
Weight Watchers is trimming its name.
Weight Watchers....now has a less...weighty name...at least in terms of letters......"WW." The company says the change...reflects its focus on not just dieting...but overall wellness,
