House Republicans Celebrate NDAA Passage: Woke Policies Out, Pay Raises In | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

House Republicans are claiming victory on a number of policies in the latest annual defense funding bill. The 1,800-page bill, National Defense Authorization Act, will allocate more than $895 billion on defense and national security. But Republicans are also praising pro-family policy in the bill. Republicans say the 2025 NDAA will end the radical woke agenda currently being forced on our servicemen and women and restore the focus of our military's lethality. Junior enlisted troops will see a significant pay bump and it works to eliminate DEI, which stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs at the Pentagon. The speaker says it's a victory. Speaker Mike Johnson added language to prevent the military's health program, Tricare, from covering gender-affirming surgeries for transgender children of service members.
