About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden declared an emergency declaration for South Carolina and a disaster declaration for Florida. In addition, Valdosta, Georgia saw hundreds of homes damaged by Idalia. And 2 years ago, 13 US service members were killed in the Abbey Gate bombing during the final chaotic days of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Family members of the fallen are still demanding accountability from the Biden Administration about the pull-out and why their loved ones lost their lives. Jason Jones with the Vulnerable People Project, joins to tell us a little more about what women and girls are facing now in Afghanistan and the ways his organization is trying to help. Meanwhile, Americans pay almost 2.5 times more for prescriptions than any other developed country, but that could change soon. The Biden Administration announced that Medicare will start negotiating the prices for 10 drugs including blood thinners and diabetes medication. Executive Director of Christ Medicus, Louis Brown, joins to tell us how big the impact will be and how soon everyday Americans will feel the impact of these negotiations. Finally this evening, the territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan shows no sign of being resolved and has become more critical in the recent period. Armenian Ambassador to the Holy See, Garen Nazarian, joins to share how he would describe the situation in Nagorno Karabakh. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
