Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) held a news conference after the House passed a 45-day continuing resolution (CR) to temporarily fund the federal government. He said, "Today wasn't the choice we wanted to have," saying House Republicans originally tried to pass a stopgap measure with conservative priorities, but the bill didn't have enough Republican votes. The speaker also commented on Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm on Capitol Hill, saying he should be punished for the incident, as well as rumors of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wanting to oust Rep. McCarthy as House speaker. "If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it. There has to be an adult in the room. I am gonna govern which what is best for this country," he said.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first hearing on an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Republicans alleged that President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, profited from corrupt foreign business deals with associates based in Ukraine, China, and Romania. Democrats criticized the impeachment inquiry for being unnecessary and lacking credible evidence, especially amid a looming federal government shutdown. One of the witnesses called by the Republican majority was George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who said that the current evidence presented against the Bidens was not enough to warrant impeachment, but that an inquiry was necessary in order to investigate the facts.
Calvin University Professor Micah Watson discussed C.S. Lewis's views on law, politics and government and how they connected to his Christian beliefs. This lecture took place at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
