Nuclear Deal, or No Deal? Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

More than 10 months after Iran nuclear talks began, officials from Iran and world powers are gathered for another round of talks to try to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The JCPOA placed restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Washington and Tehran have both said they would return to the original deal but disagree on the steps to get there. Political delegations from Iran, China, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States are expected back in the Austrian capital on Tuesday to engage in the final stretch of negotiations. CBN News Senior International Correspondent Gary Lane discusses this, the China-Russia axis and members of the U.S. military being granted religious exemptions on today's episode.

Ukraine's Weapons of War Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

Russia's invasion of Ukraine stretched into its second week this week at a pace much slower than Russian President Vladimir Putin anticipated. The capital city of Kyiv is still under Ukrainian control, and the 40-mile convoy of Russian troops and tanks stationed miles outside the city remains bogged down. Despite heavy shelling and a distinct disadvantage in terms of personnel and military hardware, Ukraine is holding on, for now. Meanwhile, the United States and our European allies are providing Ukraine with weapons to help them in their fight against Putin's invaders. CBN News Reporter Brody Carter joins the Rundown to talk about the weapons the Ukrainian people are using to hold onto their country and the role churches in the country are playing in defending their nation.

Is Putin Losing the Ukraine War? Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

As the Russian military continues its march into Ukraine, reports indicate the pace is much slower than President Vladimir Putin anticipated. Kiev and other major cities are not yet under Russian control and, on Monday morning, a Ukrainian delegation met with Russians on the border with Belarus for talks that the world hopes will lead to an end to the violence. Over the weekend, European allies and the US ramped up sanctions on President Putin and others in his government, and tightened the West's financial squeeze on Russia in response to their aggression in Ukraine, with analysts speculating that, in some respects, Putin has already lost the war. CBN News Senior International Correspondent and host of The Global Lane, Gary Lane, joins The Daily Rundown to discuss. Also, as if President Joe Biden's week wasn't busy enough last week, the embattled President unveiled his choice for the nation's next Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, taking the place of the retiring Justice Steven Breyer. At a White House event last Friday, Biden praised Jackson as someone with "an independent mind, uncompromising integrity, and with a strong moral compass and the courage to stand up for what she thinks is right.” The President kept his promise to make a nomination ahead of his State of the Union speech, scheduled for Tuesday night at 9pm ET. Faith Nation anchor John Jessup was at the White House last Friday as the announcement came down and joins the Rundown to talk about President Biden's SCOTUS pick and to preview Tuesday night's State of the Union address.
