About this sermon
It is just about official that the government will be shutting down Sunday. A band of House Conservatives voted down a GOP bill to keep the government open for another month. Starting Monday, military and federal employees will not be paid, airline travel will likely slow and even national parks will be closed. Before the vote, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy urged his fellow Republicans to consider the one-time continuing resolution. 26-year Navy veteran and military expert at the Heritage Foundation, Brent Sadler, joins to share how much this looming government shutdown will affect our national security. At the moment, the US military is involved in backing Ukraine in its war with Russia, preparing for threats from China and North Korea and committing troops to guard the Southern Border. Sadler discusses how all of that will continue to happen. In terms of morale, he explains whether we could see a dip amongst active duty military who won't be getting paid yet will still be expected to show up for work every day. Sadler tells us how military leadership protects against a dip in morale. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
