| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Catholic Answers Live. I'm Cy Kellett, your host. It's Ask Me Anything |
| 0:20.3 | This Hour with Jimmy Aiken. |
| 0:21.9 | Next hour with Tim Staples, if you've got a question about the Catholic faith, whether you are |
| 0:26.1 | Catholic or not, you are welcome to call 8883187-884, AAA-3187-884. Do dial to get in on the queue for a couple reasons. One, when Jimmy's here, those lines fill up really quickly, and we're going to be given out a different phone number for our fundraising during the show. So best to dial now if you're going to dial in to get into the line to ask your questions. 8883187-884. A big thank you to everyone |
| 0:57.4 | who has supported us over the last two days. We're in the last day of our quarterly pledge |
| 1:01.5 | drive today. So we will interrupt the usual asking and answering of questions from time to time |
| 1:07.7 | to ask you for your support. Right now, for this hour, we have a $15,000 dollar for dollar match. |
| 1:15.4 | So anybody who calls up and makes a pledge in any amount up to $15,000, it will be matched this hour. |
| 1:22.8 | Also, any pledge $500 or more that comes in today will be matched again. |
| 1:29.3 | So there's a double match, $500 or above on your pledge. |

| 1:50.7 | 888-291, 8,000. I will just tell you one more thing, well, two more things before I bring Jimmy on. |
| 1:58.1 | First, we need to be where we wanted to be when we began this drive in order |
| 2:03.1 | to be close to being fully funded. We've got about $40,000 to raise today. So hitting that match to |
| 2:10.8 | the $15,000 match will go a long way towards getting us there. If we can do that this first |
| 2:15.6 | tower, 888-291,000. The second thing I want to |
| 2:19.1 | tell you, and then we'll bring Jimmy on, Catholic AnswersRadio.com. You can go there, |
