On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Lawmakers on Capitol Hill continue arguing over the cost of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act. The House-passed version costs about $1.75 trillion dollars, but Republicans say that number does not reflect reality, and claim it's going to be much higher. Senior Editor at the Federalist and Cofounder of Rightforge.com, Christopher Bedford, joins to share whether he believes the Build Back Better Act is going to happen. Meanwhile, at his Sunday address to pilgrims at the Vatican, Pope Francis challenged the pilgrims saying, "Let's choose something concrete, even if it is small, that is adapted to our situation in life, and let's continue doing it to prepare us for this Christmas." It was one of several things the Holy Father discussed during his talk. Rome Correspondent, Colm Flynn, joins to share what else the Pope talked about. Finally this evening, "The Spider Who Saved Christmas" is a children's book exploring the legend of a spider who knew baby Jesus was special. EWTN's Raymond Arroyo wrote the book, which touches on the themes of motherhood, sacrifice, family and having hope. Author of "The Spider Who Saved Christmas" and lead anchor and managing editor of EWTN's The World Over, Raymond Arroyo, joins to tell us more about this Christmas legend.
