September 29th Show
If you've been following the news, you know all about the 700-billion dollar bailout plan for Wall Street. You may even understand what got us into this financial crisis. If not, in our first hour, we'll bring you up to speed a little bit, talk to economists about the Bush-Paulson bailout bill and what could happen once this or any bill gets signed. Then, we'll talk to syndiated columnist Kathleen Parker about why she thinks Sarah Palin should throw in the towel before this Thursday's vice-presidential debate.
Dozens of pastors brought politics to the pulpits yesterday by endorsing a presidential candidate and urging their congregants to vote the same way. Their endorsements deliberately challenge the Internal Revenue Service, which prohibits tax-exempt organizations from engaging in partisan politics. In our second hour, we'll talk with pastors on both sides of the issue. And we'd like to hear what you think. Is it the role of your spiritual leader to endorse a candidate and urge you vote for him, too? Following that, Ted Koppel will talk about what the candidates said (and didn't say) in the foreign policy portion of last week's presidential debate.
