The Morning Five: Tuesday, January 6, 2026 -- Venezuela Updates, CDC Cuts Recommended Vaccines for Children and Marjorie Taylor Greene Leaves Congress

For the Good of the Public brings you news and weekly conversations at the intersection of faith and civic life. Monday through Thursday, The Morning Five starts your day off with scripture and prayer, as we also catch up on the news together. Throughout the year, we air limited series on Fridays to dive deeper into conversations with civic leaders, thinkers, and public servants reimagining public life for the good of the public. Today's host was Michael Wear, Founder, President and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life. Thanks for listening to The Morning Five!
