On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: At the White House, President Joe Biden held a virtual vaccination summit where he stated, "The United States is buying another half billion doses of Pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world." The Democrat-run House has passed a measure to keep the government open and raise its borrowing limit. Senate Republicans are expected to block it. Meanwhile, progressive Democrats are pushing back on the $3.5 trillion Human Infrastructure Bill. Republican Representative Mike Gallagher joins to share his thoughts on the House passing a budget bill on party lines to raise the debt ceiling. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said failing to raise the debt ceiling would produce a "widespread economic catastrophe" that would permanently weaken the US. Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at the Heritage Foundation, Matt Dickerson, shares his reaction to Secretary Yellen's comments. Finally this evening, Medair is a Swiss-based humanitarian organization inspired by the Christian faith to save lives and relieve human suffering around the world.
