Reasons for hope

from Bald, Blind, and Buddies Hosted by Timothy Cordes

John Boland and Timothy Cordes each share three observations that give them hope. From the Catholic Church to the New York Football Giants, and from politics to universities. They praise ingenuity and the American spirit which is refreshed by immigrants. John and Tim recount heroes who have saved lives, enriched lives, and creatively looked out for others.
