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

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.

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.

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.

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.
