Israel, Saudi Arabia, and a Common Enemy Jun 03, 2022

Israel is reportedly in the process of completing a peace deal between themselves and Saudi Arabia, with Egypt also playing a role, the continuation of a warming of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And while the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two nations may remain a ways off, things appear headed in the right direction. But Israel has other challenges in the Middle East, as tensions continue flaring with the Palestinians and Iran's nuclear program continuing to ramp up. This all comes as the White House is reportedly planning a trip by President Biden to the region at the end of the month. CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell joins the Rundown from Jerusalem to discuss.

Christian Revival At Harvard? May 23, 2022

It's among the Ivy Leagues and named after Puritan clergyman John Harvard; but even the oldest institution of higher learning in the US and one of the most prestigious in the world isn't exempt from secular influence. Over the last few centuries, Harvard Law School has endorsed secular ideologies rather than clinging to its biblical foundations. CBN News Reporter Mark Martin talked to a few students on campus about what it's like to be a Christian law student at Harvard, and their answers may surprise you. He is on today's episode to share their surprising experiences.

Ukraine, A "Fight for Freedom" May 20, 2022

This week, the US Senate approved another 40 billion dollars in military and economic aid to Ukraine on the same day the prime ministers of Finland and Sweden came to the White House for a trilateral meeting with President Biden. Those two nations, long on the sidelines of NATO's decades-long standoff with Russia, are asking to join the organization in response to Putin's war in Ukraine. CBN News' George Thomas is back stateside after covering the first few months of this war for CBN News, and he joins The Rundown to tell us what he saw, how Ukrainian Christians are responding, and what's next. Also, what is "The Metaverse?" It is a concept that has been growing in popularity over the last few months, as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says his company is going all-in on the idea. CBN's Faith Nation anchor John Jessup recently traveled to Oklahoma and visited a church that is using the metaverse to reach unbelievers. He joins the show to discuss what he found.

The Decline Of A Biblical Worldview In America May 18, 2022

A Biblical worldview is no longer commonplace in America. According to a new study by Dr. George Barna, the majority of millennial-aged moms and dads lack a Biblically-founded faith that they can pass on to their children. CBN News Correspondent Brody Carter is on today's episode to talk about how this could hinder the spiritual development of the next generation and what parents should do to impact culture for Christ - starting with their own children.

The Abortion Debate and the Midterms May 09, 2022

The big story in Washington, DC this week remains that leaked first draft of an opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in which it appears a majority of justices will vote to overturn Roe v Wade later this summer, a bombshell revelation that is sending shockwaves throughout the country. In Washington, pro abortion rights activists protested in front of the homes of conservative justices whose addresses were made public, and someone threw a molotov cocktail into the office of Wisconsin Family Action, a pro-life activist group, an act the White House is condemning. On Wednesday, the Senate will take up legislation that would codify Roe v Wade, and both parties are reexamining the midterm elections with the abortion issue suddenly front and center. Frequent CBN News Faith Nation guest and U.S. Politics and Campaign Reporter for the Hill, Julia Manchester, joins the Rundown to discuss all angles of this story.

Patrolling Speech Instead Of The Border May 06, 2022

The crisis at the southern border is growing. Last year marked the highest on record for illegal border crossings, and there have been 221,000 encounters with border crossers in just the last month. Instead of tackling the surging problem though, the Biden administration is focused on creating a new so-called “Disinformation Governance Board” that critics are saying is reminiscent of George Orwell's “Ministry of Truth.” CBN News Senior International Correspondent Gary Lane has the details on today's episode.

A Revival in Christian Education May 02, 2022

Nearly two million students left public schools between 2020 and 2021, and the reason why is found in where they are going.

CBN News Senior Washington Correspondent Tara Mergener talked to the pastor and is on today's episode to share about the shift in schooling he calls a “necessity.”

Assessing US Readiness For Biological Threats Apr 29, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic caught everyone off guard when it swept across the world two years ago, and the loss of life has been tragic and overwhelming. As of Friday morning, Johns Hopkins University says more than 6.2 million people around the world have died of COVID, with just shy of a million dying here in the United States. The pandemic, as well as Russia's invasion in Ukraine raises a question. How well would the US respond to a biological attack should one be launched against us? Would we be ready? National Security Correspondent Caitlin Burke reported on this for CBN News this week, and she joined The Daily Rundown to discuss her story.

Leaked Video Shows Amazon Workers Panicked About Conservative Book Success Apr 27, 2022

Success of Matt Walsh's book "Johnny the Walrus" sparked outrage among staffers and they discussed what could be done about the "problem". Atheists try to remove the Bible from schools, and an A-list actress who was raised as a Christian discusses her move to the occult. These stories and more on today's podcast.

Getting To The Bottom Of The Price Hike Apr 25, 2022

It's no surprise that soaring inflation has many Americans feeling down. While the unemployment rate is at a pandemic low, the benefits of rapid economic growth could be diminished if rising prices continue to chop away at paychecks. CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill is on today's episode to discuss who or what is responsible for skyrocketing prices, if Americans are keeping up, and what it may take to bring inflation to a halt.

Hunger, Hungary, and the War in Ukraine Apr 22, 2022

Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine has had a number of negative effects, most of them very obvious in terms of the destruction, suffering and loss of life inside Ukraine itself. But the war is also having an negative impact on millions around the world. This week, the World Bank lowered its global growth forecast by nearly a full percent, due in large part to issues involving food insecurity stemming from the conflict in Ukraine. How much of an effect has it had in terms of the world's food supply, and which countries are being hit hardest? CBN News Reporter Matt Galka joins the Rundown to discuss. Also, the nation of Hungary has set itself apart from the rest of its European Union brethren as a country that espouses Christian values, and is led by a conservative prime minister that openly advocates and institutes Christian beliefs into their policies and laws. But as the war in Ukraine rages, Hungary appears reluctant to go all-in to help its neighbor Ukraine, and there is the belief by some in the EU that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of Vladimir Putin's few allies left in Europe. What is Hungary doing as the war rages in their neighborhood, and does Russia consider Prime Minister Orban an ally? CBN News Reporter Jennifer Wishon traveled to Hungary last year for a number of stories on their pro-Christian policies, and joins the Rundown to talk about their position with regard to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Shock Survey Says Teens Ditching Social Media Because It's 'Toxic' and a 'Waste' Apr 20, 2022

And Candace Cameron Bure shakes up Hollywood with major announcement.

Elon Musk's Bid To Buy Twitter Apr 19, 2022

Why is it that the richest man in the world can't seem to buy Twitter? There's a lot more involved than money and much more at stake than a brand. CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill is on today's episode to discuss what's really behind Elon Musk's bid to buy Twitter and why the social media company delivered a “poison pill” in response.

Details Emerge in NYC Shooting Reveal Miraculous Survival Apr 13, 2022

Hunter Biden's Laptop and the REAL Disinformation Scandal Apr 11, 2022

Hunter Biden finally paid his taxes. This wouldn't be news, except for the 24th paragraph in The Washington Post article admitting a significant amount of the suspicious content found on Hunter's laptop in 2020 was authentic. Now, media outlets have decided it's a story, setting off a firestorm of reports on Hunter's shady business dealings with China and Ukraine. Why is this news breaking now? Why not when suspicions and evidence first arose? CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd joins today's episode to talk about why the media chose NOW to talk about this and the real disinformation scandal.

The Rise of Sports Gambling in America Apr 08, 2022

This week, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the North Carolina Tarheels to win the NCAA College Basketball Tournament, a terrific game that featured the largest comeback in NCAA Tournament title game history. This year's March Madness tournament was also the most heavily wagered in its history, with as many as 17% of Americans betting a total of more than $3 billion on this single event alone. That comes on the heels of the Super Bowl back in February, which saw more than $7.6 billion in wagers placed on that game. Sports gambling is now legal in more than 30 states and the District of Columbia, doubling in just a year, and the rise of sports betting apps has made it easier than ever to place a wager. How should Christians respond to sports gambling, and is it OK for Christians to gamble on anything at all? Joining the Rundown to talk about the rise in sports gambling and the Christian response to it, as well as a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill this week with Big Oil CEOs on price gouging at the pump, is CBN News Reporter Brody Carter.

CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson talked to Dr. Dale Bredesen and a handful of individuals whose symptoms reversed after employing the Bredesen Protocol.

To End, Or Not To End, Title 42 Apr 01, 2022

The Biden administration is preparing to allow a controversial border policy, enacted by the Trump administration, to end. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instituted Title 42 in March of 2020, essentially sending asylum seekers back to their home countries rather than allowing them to stay in the US, in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19. Now, however, the CDC appears ready to end that policy. Republicans in Congress warn ending Title 42 will lead to an avalanche of asylum seekers along our southern border, with no plan in place to process or house them; Democrats say it's time to stop forcing those who are fleeing from violence to return to their native countries. Joining The Rundown to talk about this story, as well as a good news story taking place in the state of Ohio, is CBN News Senior National Affairs Correspondent Heather Sells.

Regime Change in Russia? Mar 28, 2022

Does President Joe Biden want regime change in Russia? After meeting with Ukrainian refugees on Saturday and hearing their stories of survival and escape from their war-torn country, the President delivered a blistering speech against Russian President Vladimir Putin that was overshadowed by nine words at the very end of his remarks that appeared to signal a change in US policy toward regime change in Russia. However, immediately after saying Putin "cannot remain in power," White House and Biden administration officials quickly walked back those comments, claiming there is no change in policy toward regime change in Russia. CBN News Senior International Correspondent George Thomas joins the Rundown to provide an on-the-ground account of the latest as the war enters its 5th week. Also, last night at the Oscars, America witnessed the “slap heard round the world,” when actor Will Smith walked on stage and struck comedian Chris Rock on the mouth after Rock made a joke directed at Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The slap caught everyone in the audience off-guard and overshadowed Smith's Best Actor Oscar that he won just a half hour after the slap took place, leading to a lengthy and tear-filled acceptance speech. Joining the Rundown for his reaction to a crazy night in Hollywood as well as the future of the Oscars is CBN Entertainment News Reporter and the host of CBN's Studio 5, Efrem Graham.

A “Defining” Week for Ketanji Brown Jackson Mar 25, 2022

CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd is on today's episode to discuss China's standing on the world stage as the Chinese Communist Party expands their economic, political, and military influence across the globe.

America's Healthcare Worker Shortage Mar 18, 2022

After two years in which it was pretty much the only thing we talked about, COVID-19 has finally receded into the background, at least in the minds of many Americans. Mask mandates for most of the country have gone away, although some areas still require them, and the debate over vaccine mandates has faded, too. Is COVID-19 no longer a pandemic? Is it something endemic we all will just learn to live with now? And as hospitals and doctor's offices enjoy this much needed breather, some startling numbers show a shortage of healthcare workers in America. How are states and Congress working to alleviate this growing problem? CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson joins the Rundown to talk about all that. Also, the American Kennel Club is out with their yearly ranking of the most popular dog breeds in America. Did your pooch make the top 10?

CBN News National Security Correspondent Caitlin Burke joins the podcast to discuss the hearings as well as the latest on new sanctions against Putin's regime.

Transgender UPenn Swimmer: 'I'm a Woman, Just Like Anybody Else on the Team' Mar 09, 2022

CBN's Heather Sells has the details on Thomas and the debate surrounding transgenders and sports.

Nuclear Deal, or No Deal? Mar 07, 2022

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

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.

Putin, God, the End Times Mar 02, 2022

Is Putin Losing the Ukraine War? Feb 28, 2022

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.

A Crime Against Peace: Why America Should Care About Ukraine Feb 25, 2022

While Putin says he's ready for talks with Ukrainian officials, the violent actions of Russian forces speak louder than words. CBN News Senior International Correspondent George Thomas is reporting from Ukraine on today's episode to give us a glimpse on the ground, break down what Russia's actions mean for Ukraine, and explain why Americans should care.

She's on today's episode to talk about what the protests look like and why the media has largely ignored the plight of its participants.

America Loses Interest in the China Olympics Feb 18, 2022

They've been called "The Genocide Games" by some and, on Sunday, the 2022 Winter Olympics will come to a close. Normally, the Games are a chance for the United States and the world to celebrate their athletes and watch as they fulfill their lifelong dreams of competing for a gold medal. However, this year's Olympics seemed to lack that hopefulness and enthusiasm and TV ratings were down big. Why? The location. China's record of human rights abuses and oppression were a dark cloud hanging over the Games, and some are concerned these Olympics served as a public relations coup for the totalitarian regime. CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd joins the Rundown to talk about the lasting effects these games could have for China, America, and the world. Also, as the situation in Ukraine grows more intense by the day, Christians in that country are offering up prayers and gathering together to pray for their countrymen. CBN's George Thomas is in Ukraine, and we'll feature some of his reporting from the western part of the country on the Rundown this week, too.

Communist China Is Re-Writing the Bible With 'Core Socialist Values' Feb 17, 2022

The Readiness of the U.S. Military Feb 11, 2022

The situation in Ukraine grows more unstable by the day, as Russia amasses troops along the border and western allies work to convince Vladimir Putin not to invade their neighbor. This week, Russia and China declared a “new era” in their relationship, with China supporting Russia's ambitions in Ukraine and Russia doing likewise with regard to Taiwan. Meanwhile, a report published recently by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation finds U.S. military strength across its five branches is trending in the wrong direction, worrying lawmakers that we are not as prepared to respond to situations around the world as we once were. CBN News National Security Correspondent Caitlin Burke joins The Rundown to break down the report.

Fact Checking the Fact Checkers: Reviewing Snopes Ruling on Biden 'Free Crack Pipe' Policy Feb 09, 2022

Mainstream fact-checkers operate under the pretense they are neutral, but high profile fact-checking outlets such as Snopes and Politifact have frequently been accused of having a political bias. We examine a recent claim by Snopes on a Biden Administration policy surrounding giving away free "crack pipes" to individuals (smoke kits). Plus, data analysts respond to a claim from atheists that prayer isn't needed, and a pastor goes viral over a post discussing what women should and shouldn't wear in photos posted online. Featuring Dan Andros, Tré Goins-Phillips, and Billy Hallowell.

Intimate Church: Why Christians Are Choosing Mini Over Mega Feb 08, 2022

Church isn't always what it seems on TV. During the beginning of the pandemic, Christians met in parking lots, in lakes, and gathered around computers and televisions at home. Pastors and congregations struggled to find the sweet spot of meeting safely yet routinely. But out of the pandemic came the realization that many Christians are opting for a smaller Church home or “Mini Church.” CBN News Reporter Wendy Griffith noticed this trend and talked to local pastors about why Christians are drawn to intimate atmospheres and why it's important for Christians to join with each other in fellowship – regardless of the setting. Nearly three weeks into the standstill between Russia and Ukraine, not much has developed besides an accumulation of equipment and medical supplies near the border. In the calm before the potential storm, CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody sat down with Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss the potential motives behind Putin's playbook and consider if the United States has a moral obligation to help Ukraine.

Biden, Inflation & Economic Headwinds Jan 28, 2022

A new Pew Research poll finds Americans are, in general, not happy with the economy, with 72% describing the economy as either "fair" or "poor," and only 1 in 4 Americans saying they are confident the economy will be better a year from now. The main reason is inflation, as prices are up nearly across the board. This week, the Federal Reserve indicated they're preparing to raise a benchmark interest rate in order to help fight inflation, but how much will it help? CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill joins the Rundown to talk inflation, supply chains, as well as new GDP numbers and what they mean for your bottom line. Also, a recent study found millennials are increasingly leaving organized faith and Christianity altogether. An increase in the number of so-called "religious nones'' is on the rise, worrying pastors about the future of their congregations and the faith at large. CBN News reporter Brody Carter joins us to talk about why a growing number of young people are leaving behind the faith in which they grew up and what, if anything, the church can do about it.

Pandemic to Endemic Feb 04, 2022

Now into our third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Omicron wave seems to be receding in many parts of the country, but the virus is showing no signs of leaving us. The question now seems to be, when will this virus transition from being a pandemic in which everyone continues to take maximum precautions in order to prevent getting infected, and into an endemic mode, one in which we learn to live with it? A Monmouth University poll out this week finds 7 in 10 Americans agree that it's time to accept COVID-19 is here to stay and we need to get on with our lives. Is that true and, if so, how do we do that? CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson joins the show to discuss. Also, is Israel capable of launching a successful military strike against Iran to stop their nuclear weapons program? In 2015, when the Obama administration and other western nations reached a deal with Iran on their nuclear program, the US estimated Iran's breakout time would be 12 months. Now, officials believe that timeframe has been trimmed down to just one month. So as the Biden administration seeks to restart talks with Iran regarding their program, what does Israel have to say about it and what are their options? CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell joins the Rundown to talk about his story on that, as well as a couple other hot button issues in the region.

‘Draconian' Pandemic Protocols at Universities Jan 31, 2022

Nearly two years into the pandemic, cities and universities are doubling down on COVID restrictions – especially in the Ivy Leagues. Far from settling into a 'new normal', students and faculty are faced with mandatory testing and masking with restrictions barring students from eating at local restaurants – if they can even enter the campus at all. From students and teachers to parents and representatives, many believe these policies are over-the-top, including Senator Rand Paul. CBN News Senior International Correspondent George Thomas spoke to the Senator recently about the “draconian” policies that threaten students' freedom and psychological well-being.

Putin's Building Pressure on Ukraine Jan 24, 2022

Evacuation efforts in Ukraine are underway, after fear of Russian aggression grew significantly over the weekend. On January 23rd, the State Department published a travel advisory for families of U.S. Embassy Personnel in Kyiv to start evacuating as soon as possible. This comes despite a warning from the Biden Administration that the U.S. isn't in a position to help do so, underscoring U.S. fears that a Russian invasion could destabilize Ukraine and threaten the embassy's ability to assist Americans. CBN News Senior International Correspondent George Thomas is on today's episode to fill us in on what happened over the weekend and what U.S. involvement or lake thereof could mean for Ukraine and the United States. Also on today's episode… Last Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the United States heard a religious freedom case surrounding a flag on a flagpole called Shurtleff v. City of Boston. In 2017, Director of Camp Constitution Hal Shurtleff applied to fly a Christian flag outside of Boston's City Hall in honor of Constitution Day. Although various other flags representing other countries and causes had been flown on the same pole, the city denied Shurtleff's request. Nearly five years later, the highest court is considering whose voice the flagpole represents: the government, or the public. As we await a decision, CBN News National Security Correspondent Caitlin Burke discusses key points from last week's arguments, which way the court may be leaning, and what this case means for religious liberty.

SCOTUS Shuts Down Biden's Vaccine Mandate Jan 14, 2022

This week, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate affecting large businesses was unconstitutional. The six conservative-leaning justices ruled against the mandate, enforced through OSHA, that required employees to either get vaccinated or be tested and masked while at work. Three liberal-leaning judges dissented, saying their colleagues were subverting the judgment of health experts for their own. But it wasn't a total defeat for the President, as the High Court sided with him over the need for health care workers to be vaccinated. CBN News' Gary Lane joins the Rundown to discuss the ramifications of this ruling, as well as his interview with an author who is warning automation and artificial intelligence can have a negative effect on our Christian faith. Also, violent crime is up in several major cities across the country, with some municipalities seeing record-high spikes.

Inflation Soars, Biden Approval Plummets Jan 12, 2022

Americans are starting to feel the pressure of changing economic conditions, namely inflation soaring to levels not seen since 1982. Prices for everyday items like food and gasoline are climbing, leaving President Biden in the hot seat as he promised earlier this summer that inflation would be transitory and not long lasting.

This week, the U.S. marked the one year anniversary of the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill in the wake of the challenged 2020 presidential election. In a fiery speech aimed at his predecessor, President Joe Biden laid the blame for what happened on former President Donald Trump's claims the elections were stolen, and U.S. Capitol Police officials testified that, while department force levels are down, they feel they are better equipped to protect the Capitol moving forward. Over the past year, many say the attack on the Capitol has resulted in a more divided America, and national security experts are concerned that the growing division is impacting national security.

The Death of Build Back Better? Dec 21, 2021

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) surprised the political world when he announced over the weekend that he cannot support President Biden's Build Back Better agenda as it currently exists in the Senate, throwing the fate of the controversial bill into limbo. Some in the White House and on Capitol Hill are holding out hope the bill can be revived, but what would it have to look like in order to get the approval of Manchin and another moderate Democrat, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona? What does this mean for Democrats and their paper-thin majority in Washington? Also, some high-ranking Republican senators are pushing for the Senate to take up the Taylor Force Martyr Prevention Payment Act, which would close a loophole that is allowing the families of people who commit acts of terrorism to receive payment for their martyrdom. Capitol Hill reporter Abigail Robertson joins The Rundown to talk about both stories.

A Fantastic Christmas Gift Dec 17, 2021

With Christmas just a week away, the families of 17 Christian missionaries who had been held hostage by a gang in Haiti will able to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones. This week, the remaining 12 missionaries were released, joining the five other missionaries who were set free back in November and earlier this month. Unfortunately, the news this week wasn't all good, as a devastating string of tornadoes ripped through Kentucky and other midwest states, leaving dozens dead and others still unaccounted for. Christian organizations like CBN's Operation Blessing are on hand to help residents deal with their loss and the destruction left behind, and to pray for the victims and those left homeless ahead of the holidays.

Bringing "Hope To The Hill" Dec 13, 2021

In these days of deep, political divide, it's hard to find common ground – even within the Christian community. We're polarized over economics, sexuality, education, immigration, and the pandemic, hardly remembering we're at war with something much greater than each other. It's the spiritual war against evil that threatens to steal our life, our happiness, and our hope. One ministry in Washington, DC is dedicated to restoring hope to the hill.

CBN News Capitol Hill Correspondent Abigail Robertson talked to Hope To The Hill Ministries and the members they're reaching. She's on today's podcast with a story that will prayerfully inspire hope in each of us, and inspire us to prayerfully lift up our leaders in Congress.

Shining a Light on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Dec 10, 2021

This week on The Rundown, CBN News reporter and anchor Mark Martin brings a story of tragedy among Native Americans, an epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people. Under this wave of MMIP, Native American women are being murdered or have gone missing at a far higher rate than women of any other race or ethnicity, with little attention given by the media to their plight. Mark recently traveled to Montana to learn more about some of the personal stories of women who have gone missing, and spoke to local authorities, including Gov. Greg Gianforte, on what is being done to try and end this epidemic of missing and murdered Native American women. But first, the United States is losing a war of artificial intelligence with China. National security officials note the Chinese have a large head start in the world of military AI, and the recent departure of a top US government official in frustration over the growing gap is ringing alarm bells. What's at stake if China does pull away from the United States in this area, what are the ethical concerns of the proliferation of artificial intelligence, and what does it mean for our privacy? CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd joins the Rundown with more on his story.

Will the January 6th Committee Ever Find A Smoking Gun? Dec 06, 2021

Nearly one year after the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol, the investigation is ramping up. The Select Committee investigating the attack has subpoenaed nearly 50 people and organizations associated with the riots and former President Donald Trump, including former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark. With public hearings set to begin next year, Republicans and Democrats remain mostly divided on prosecuting those involved in the riots, with opinions closely tied to voters' views on who won the 2020 election. Former Vice President Mike Pence holds that he did his duty under the Constitution that day, although he and the former president may never see eye to eye. CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody sat down with Mike Pence recently to discuss his response to angry MAGA fans, bombshell abortion case Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health, and what's next for the former Vice President.

CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson joins the Rundown to talk Omicron, the continued spread of Delta, and President Biden's plans to fight COVID this winter. Also, Native Americans are being particularly hard-hit by the virus. CBN News reporter and anchor Mark Martin recently traveled to Montana and visited a number of tribes to get a first-hand look at the devastating impact COVID has had on those communities and what state officials are doing to try and help.

The Case for Life: Will Dobbs Overturn Roe? Nov 29, 2021

On Wednesday December 1st, the Supreme Court will hear a landmark abortion case called Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health that bans abortion in the state of Mississippi after 15 weeks. Some in the pro-life movement are calling this the biggest abortion case since Roe versus Wade, because a vote in favor of Dobbs could return the right to develop abortion policy back to the states. CBN News Senior National Affairs Correspondent Heather Sells is on today's episode to talk about the first abortion case since Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination and if this case really has the potential to overturn Roe versus Wade.

Is the U.S. Economy Good or Bad? Nov 19, 2021

Confidence in the American economy is lower than it was last year, when the pandemic shut down the country. A survey from the University of Michigan this month finds consumer confidence at a 10-year low, despite a low unemployment rate, good consumer spending numbers and an increase in Americans' savings. Inflation and supply chain issues are having a huge impact, from the cost of putting Thanksgiving dinner on the table, to filling up your gas tank and getting the Christmas presents you want on time. In addition, on Friday the House of Representatives passed their nearly $2 trillion Build Back Better plan. Joining the podcast to discuss the current state of the U.S. economy and any effect that legislation will have on it is CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill.

Biden Admin Looks to Revoke Trump Era Religious Freedom Protections Nov 17, 2021

We break this story down and more on today's CBN News Daily Rundown podcast.

Children's Mental Health: An Epidemic Nov 15, 2021

Children's health has been a topic of national interest and concern especially over the last year. From debating what children are being taught in school to deciding whether or not to stick them with the recently approved Pfizer dose for children, our youth are reliant upon their parents and elders to make these impactful decisions for them. While we've been primarily focused on their physical health during the pandemic, the mental health of America's youth has deteriorated. CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson recently talked to a neurologist and psychiatrist about the impact the pandemic has had on children's mental health, which has taken a frightening, downward turn over the past year. Lorie is on today's episode to share what she learned about protecting our youth – from the vaccine to social media.

The Political Cost of Inflation Nov 12, 2021

Consumer prices for nearly everything continues to rise at an alarming rate. Food, cars, furniture and especially the price of gas are all way up month-over-month and year-over-year, with inflation seeing its highest one-month jump in 30 years. This, as Congress is set to return next week to wrangle over the President's Build Back Better agenda, avoid a government shutdown and raise the debt limit as the holidays approach. CBN News Congressional Correspondent Abigail Robertson joins us to discuss the politics of inflation and what it means for Congress and the Biden White House. Also, it's been more than three weeks since 17 American and Canadian Christian missionaries were kidnapped in Haiti.

"That's Communist China" Nov 08, 2021

Government overreach in the United States is running rampant as our leaders increasingly supplant parents, families, and religion with invasive policies. From vaccine mandates in the workplace to gender neutral restrooms in schools, the federal government is infringing on freedom in the name of public safety and inclusion. Americans are showing up at the polls, speaking out at school board meetings, and using their positions of influence to wake others up to the tyranny. Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the U.S. is looking more and more like communist China. She sat down with CBN News Chief Political Correspondent David Brody last week to talk about the state of our country and who we should look to for direction. David is on today's podcast to share what they discussed.

COVID Vaccine Mandates & GOP Legal Challenges Nov 05, 2021

This week, the Biden administration announced they are moving forward with COVID vaccine/testing mandates for private businesses with at least 100 employees, with a start date of January 4, 2022. Republican lawmakers and governors are already launching legal challenges against the new rules issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that would affect roughly 84 million Americans. This as Pfizer announces a new pill that they say is 90% effective in preventing hospitalization and death in mild to moderate COVID cases and their vaccine for kids 5-11, which officially began being injected into the arms of children around the country this week. CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson joins us to discuss all the latest COVID news.

Republican Surge in First Election Since Biden Took Office Nov 03, 2021

In a rare off-election year that held high interest around the country, Republicans saw sweeping gains as Glenn Youngkin took the most high profile win of the night in the Virginia race for Governor. In a sign of how the night went, New Jersey - normally a stronghold for Democrats - went down to the wire. All things election on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

The Purge Nov 01, 2021

President Biden's vaccine mandate was reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget today, but we've been seeing the effects of the emergency mandate for months now. From airlines cancelling flights to shortages of first responders and nurses, employees are leaving longtime jobs and careers to file for unemployment or find new work for businesses that accept exemptions. The purge has polarized and politicized the United States with possibly longer lasting side effects than the virus itself. CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd is on today's podcast to talk about everything from the great vaccine purge to the Virginia Governor's race to climate change.

Deal or No Deal? Oct 29, 2021

This week, President Biden announced a framework to his Build Back Better legislative agenda in Congress with the hopes of advancing a separate bipartisan infrastructure bill in the House of Representatives. However, Democratic moderates and progressives dealt the President a defeat by failing to move the infrastructure legislation ahead of the President's trip to Europe. Negotiations are ongoing and Democrats say a deal will get done, but when? What does the wrangling mean politically for the White House and how would this new spending program, if and when it goes into effect, affect U.S. taxpayers? CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody joins the show to elaborate. Also, Facebook (now called Meta) is coming under heavy criticism for allegedly allowing divisive and sometimes harmful content to be amplified on its platform in the pursuit of profit. How has this division manifested itself among Christians and churches across the country, and what can Christians and the Church do to make sure they're using social media to build each other up rather than divide? Reporter Charlene Aaron tackles that question for us on the Rundown today as well.

'Woke' Books for Kids Flood Bookstores Oct 27, 2021

These stories and more on today's Daily Rundown.

America's Supply Chain Crisis Oct 15, 2021

"Why hasn't the couch I ordered through Amazon arrived yet? Why can't I find frozen french fries at the grocery store? Why is it so impossible to locate a reasonably priced used car? Why is gas so much more?" Most Americans have been asking themselves some variation of these questions over the last few months and the answer is both simple and complex: the nation's supply chain. Delays across the globe are slowing the delivery of many items across a broad swath of industries, and with increasing demand and dwindling supply, fears of inflation abound. Now, with the Christmas shopping season just around the corner, the Biden administration is announcing steps that they hope will help clear up the backlog. Reporter Tara Mergener breaks down some of the astronomical price increases we're seeing and how the government and private industry is trying to fix it.

Concerns of a Cold War with China Oct 25, 2021

Is the United States about to enter into another cold war, this time with China? Is it already happening? Tensions are growing after reports last week that the communist nation recently launched a hypersonic missile that is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, a move that military and foreign affairs experts say poses a major threat to American security. This comes as China and Russia conduct joint naval military operations around Japan as well as continued saber rattling by the Chinese over the fate of Taiwan. How is the Biden administration reacting to the threats being posed by China and how worrying is that new hypersonic missile to the U.S. and allies in the region? Reporter Brody Carter is covering the story for CBN News and joins The Rundown today to explain. Also, one of the first black churches in America was unearthed in colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, but why was it covered up in the first place? Hear how archaeologists dug up the old buildings and why there's hope it can promote the healing that America so desperately needs right now.

Virginia, the Bellwether Oct 22, 2021

It's a local race on a national level. The political tête-à-tête to see who will be Virginia's next governor is a toss-up, with Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe and Republican candidate Glenn Younkin engaging in a race that is tighter than anyone expected. The latest polls show a virtual tie between the two men with a little over a week to go until election day on November 2, and analysts across the country say this election could be a bellwether for the 2022 midterms. Political Reporter for The Hill, Julia Manchester, is covering the race and joins the show to talk about all the major issues that are shaping this off-year election battle. Also, Attorney General Merrick Garland was feeling the heat during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week, answering pointed questions from Republicans concerning a Justice Department memo regarding threats against school board members as well as ethics questions surrounding critical race theory, and from Democrats on his stance toward prosecuting members of President Trump's administration and/or inner circle with regard to January 6. Washington correspondent Jennifer Wishon is covering that story for CBN News and joins The Rundown to talk about Garland's testimony from Thursday.

The Booster Club Oct 18, 2021

The wave of cases from the Delta variant is trickling out as the U.S. nears the end of another 2 month COVID curve. While there's reason to celebrate the drop in case numbers, U.S. citizens are wary of the next wave. There are two main concerns at the moment: booster shots and vaccine mandates. The FDA recommended boosters for seniors and immune-compromised people no sooner than six months after their first shot, but questions remain about which one is most effective. While some are focused on preventative measures, others are focused on what certain measures prevent: i.e. the freedom to choose whether or not to get vaccinated. CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson is on today's episode to talk about who is in the booster club and how businesses – and their employees - are responding to the vaccine mandate.

Parents vs. School Boards Oct 11, 2021

School board meetings across the country have increasingly become cauldrons for parental unrest and political division. What used to be orderly, even boring meetings with few in attendance are now bubbling into disputes about mask mandates, transgender policies, and Critical Race Theory – and gaining national attention. The National School Board Association called parents a “threat,” and Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the FBI to get involved. While some are calling for the suppression of parental input, legislators and parents are saying this is about protecting parental rights in schools. CBN News National Affairs Correspondent Heather Sells is on today's episode to discuss parental rights in schools versus the duties of school boards, and why these two seem to be at odds at this point in history.

The Beginning of the End of the COVID Pandemic? Oct 08, 2021

Coronavirus cases and deaths are trending downward for two weeks straight and it appears the worst of the Delta variant may be over. Not only that, Pfizer is requesting that the Food and Drug Administration give emergency approval for a COVID vaccine for children 5-11 years old. Is this the beginning of the end of the pandemic? CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson joins the Rundown to talk about where we are in the fight against COVID as well as why medical experts think the upcoming flu season could be worse than normal. Also, it's been a deadly week in Afghanistan, with at least 100 people hurt or killed following the bombing of a Shiite mosque on Friday. This as religious minorities go underground in order to avoid deadly retaliation by the Taliban. Correspondent Brody Carter joins us to talk about a hearing held this week by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom on the state of religious minorities in that country.

The First COVID-19 Pill Oct 04, 2021

It's the first of its kind – an oral drug that could help treat symptoms from COVID-19. Health experts have been calling for a convenient pill that COVID-19 patients could take at the onset of symptoms. The pharmaceutical company “Merck” answered that call and developed a new oral drug called “Molnupiravir.” The U.S government has already approved one antiviral drug called remdesivir to treat COVID-19, but it is primarily taken intravenously. If authorized by the FDA, Molnupiravir would become the first oral medicine to fight Covid-19, and you might be able to pick it up at your local pharmacy with a prescription by the end of the year. CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell talked to an Israeli disease expert and professor about the drug's progress, and he's on today's podcast to discuss.

Chaos on Capitol Hill Oct 01, 2021

This week, the future of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda hung in the balance as lawmakers grappled with a bipartisan infrastructure bill, a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, the prospect of raising the debt ceiling, and avoiding a government shutdown. Late nights were the norm as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi aimed to find a compromise between moderate and progressive Democrats over the size and cost of reconciliation, with the White House rolling up their sleeves to try and strike a deal. Capitol Hill correspondent Abigail Robertson joins the podcast to talk about what happened this week and what still lies ahead. Also, new data from the FBI shows a large jump in homicides last year as Americans were forced indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although some are also pointing the finger at efforts to defund police departments across the country. This as proposed legislation in Congress to tackle police reform has fallen by the wayside. Correspondent Brody Carter joins to break down the numbers and provide some context on the troubling data.

Plane From Kabul Filled With American Citizens Denied Entry to US Sep 29, 2021

A plane filled with over 28 U.S. citizens, 83 green card holders and six Afghan nationals with special U.S. Immigration Visas - all escaping the Taliban - has been denied landing permissions in the United States by the Department of Homeland Security.

Some, however, believe they should qualify for a religious exemption. Senior national affairs correspondent Heather Sells has been following this developing story.

"The Largest Expulsion of Migrants By the U.S. in Decades" Sep 20, 2021

The Biden Administration promised to take care of migrants by stopping construction of the border wall and eliminating limits on the number of migrants allowed in, but now we're seeing the results of these actions. The Southwest border has been flooded in recent months with unauthorized crossings in numbers not seen for more than two decades. In August alone, more than 200,000 people crossed the southern border, stretching border agents thin and creating dangerous encampments. The Del Rio bridge is the most recent example of the crisis at the border with more than 9,000 migrants packed in under the International Bridge, awaiting entrance. CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd is on The Daily Rundown today to talk about how the Biden Administration's plans are shaking out.

You've probably noticed higher prices on everything from food to household appliances and that's because of inflation. Costs have gone up by more than 10% on a wide range of items. Product demand is running high as the economy recovers after the COVID-19 shutdown, but this is causing a bottleneck in the system. The Wall Street Journal reports this includes finding enough truck drivers to transport key materials to factories and construction sites. It's no doubt some Americans are feeling the pinch of it all, but CBN News Financial editor Drew Parkhill says inflation will stabilize and we could see the strongest growth in the economy since 1984.

After more than a year into the global pandemic, we're finally starting to hear some positive reports from health officials.

From the Vault: Behind the Screen Apr 22, 2021

Producing a newscast that's broadcast across the nation and around the globe is a team sport for sure. Correspondents and videographers gather information and video up until the last minute.

She's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

Russia's Military Buildup Apr 16, 2021

The Biden administration is imposing sweeping sanctions on Russia and expelling 10 Russian diplomats.

More than 80,000 Russian troops now amassed along Ukraine's eastern border. CBN News senior international correspondent George Thomas was in the region just last year. He says this could all just be saber-rattling, designed to test the West or the precursor to a major offensive. He's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

A Diplomatic Dance Apr 07, 2021

Iran and the US have agreed on a path aimed at re-starting the Iranian Nuclear Deal. The plan is to synchronize Washington's lifting of sanctions with Iran's limiting of uranium enrichment.

Meanwhile, Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell says this new diplomatic development raises major concerns in Israel. He's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

COVID-19 Vaccinations Hit 4 Million Milestone Apr 06, 2021

Living In Limbo Apr 05, 2021

As lawmakers grapple with how to secure our border and debate over immigration reform, the immigrants who are currently protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program continue to live in limbo. Their permits must be renewed every two years, and with the policy that allows them to live and work in the US constantly threatened by legal challenges, anything beyond those two-year increments feels uncertain.

'Satan Shoes' Mar 30, 2021

"Satan Shoes," that's what rapper Lil Nas X is calling a pair of shoes he helped design, released earlier this week. They're made using Nike Air Max 97's, but feature a bronze pentagram charm, an inverted cross, a Bible verse, and actual human blood in the sole of the shoe. Nike says it had nothing to do with this and is suing the New York-based company that collaborated with Lil Nas X on the shoes. Only 666 pairs were available, each costing $1,018, a reference to the Bible passage embroidered on the side of the shoe, Luke 10:18, which reads in part, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven." While the shoes are controversial, Faithwire editor Tré Goins Phillips says they also provide Christians with an opportunity. He's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

Voices of Black Mothers Mar 29, 2021

'Disinformation Nation' Mar 25, 2021

Congressional Democrats say Big Tech isn't going far enough in its efforts to censor "misinformation" coming from those deemed extremists.

Big Tech's Digital Surveillance Plan Mar 18, 2021
