On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden has been getting slammed over high prices at the pump. He made a move to try and bring down those costs by ordering 50 million barrels of oil to be released from America's strategic reserve, an emergency stockpile, to help bring down energy costs. Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Joel Griffith, joins to tell us what he makes of President Biden's move to lower gas prices, whether it will work and if so, when we could start to see it take effect. Meanwhile, there are increasing calls on Capitol Hill for lawmakers to regulate Big Tech companies, some are even calling them monopolies. Lawmakers are worried about companies sharing personal information, censoring speech and more. And a new study says hate crimes against Christians in Europe rose last year by 70%. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, explains what the situation is like in Rome, especially when we hardly hear about hate crimes against Christians in European countries. Finally this evening, the US State Department recently updated its list of the world's worst religious freedom violators, controversially removing Nigeria from the annual list. Former US Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, Ambassador Sam Brownback, joins to share his reaction to Nigeria being removed from the list and whether the reasoning behind that decision is known.
