Summary
Bath and Body Works has apologized for selling candles with a design that many compared to Ku Klux Klan hoods and robes. This is amongst other surprising headlines in the news today. Americans’ trust in the mass media now stands at an all-time low, as does our trust in the judicial branch and the Supreme Court. As we stand 19 days from a deeply contentious election, have we ever needed a trustworthy source of wisdom more than today?

| 0:00.0 | Greetings and welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 16th, 2024. |
| 0:08.4 | I'm Chris Elkins, narrating today's daily article written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim |
| 0:14.9 | Denison. From the What Were They Thinking Department, Bath and Body Works has apologized for selling candles |

| 1:54.7 | ourselves to experience his plan for welfare and not for evil to give you a future and a hope, as noted in Jeremiah 29, |
