Understanding the Stakes of the Government Shutdown | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Vice President J.D. Vance blasted Democrats for shutting down the government over policy disputes, calling essential services “hostage” and insisting, “We need to reopen the government.” During a White House press briefing, he said, “What they have done instead is to shut down the government because we won’t give billions of dollars to health care funding for illegal aliens. That is what actually happened.” The Vice President also warned of the shutdown’s consequences. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned that layoffs are coming. Senior Director of Government Affairs for the National Taxpayers Union, Thomas Aiello, joins to offer insight on how this shutdown differs from the last, what it will take to reach an agreement, and the potential consequences for the U.S. economy. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
