VIEW SHOW

Tuesday, August 11, 2015
Today, on Point of View, we hear from Dan Kish, vice president for policy at American Energy Alliance. He will comment on President Obama's roll out of the Clean Power Plan. America deserves a Smart Power Plan – affordable energy, a reliable electric grid, and a healthy environment. Sadly, the President’s so–called “Clean Power Plan” fails on several of these goals. In the second segment, Penna is joined by David McIntosh, President of Club for Growth which is a free-enterprise advocacy group based in Washington, DC. He will discuss, presidential candidate, Donald Trump's record. In our last segment, Rob Peabody one of the producers of the Intersect DVD series joins us. He tells us how by avoiding the typical “Christianese,” Intersect shows viewers that talking about their faith doesn’t have to be awkward or offensive – it can be as simple as sharing their story and how it intersects with God’s story.
