The CBN News Daily Rundown - Audio Podcast

As your purchases from the holiday sales start to arrive, a small town in Virginia is receiving some packages in an unusual way: drone delivery. CBN News producer Gabe LaMonica recently covered the pilot program that is testing drone delivery on demand. He's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

Justice Neil Gorsuch recently sat down to speak with CBN News Senior Washington correspondent, Jennifer Wishon, about his new book, A Republic, If You Can Keep It.  She was given strict guidelines for the interview and told to stick only to topics he wrote about. However, there’s not much in the book about his faith and she felt that was something she needed to ask him about.

“I spoke to his staff before the interview and at first they were a little leery because Justice Gorsuch thinks his faith is very personal, as many people do, but then after some time they came back to me and told me that he would be willing to answer one question about his faith,” Wishon said on today’s CBN News Daily Rundown.

Listen in to hear how Gorsuch says his faith has sustained him throughout his career and about a special moment during his Supreme Court nomination process when God provided exactly what he needed at just the right moment.

After a whirlwind two weeks of testimony, the House Intelligence Committee wrapped up its public hearings, Thursday, in the Democrats push to impeach President Trump. Democrats say the evidence is clear: the president abused his power. Trump says Democrats have looked like fools during the impeachment hearings. Capitol Hill correspondent Abigail Robertson has been there to cover it all. She's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown with some behind the scenes insight into what it's been like to covering such a historic and chaotic process and a look at what's next.

Democrats faced off in Atlanta Wednesday night in their fifth debate. The big surprise of the night: no one went after Pete Buttigieg, who just last week surged ahead in the Iowa and New Hampshire polls. 

"The game all along has been that the Democrat who's going to win is going to have to convince democratic voters that they're the one that will best be able to beat Donald Trump. And so, therefore, I think Donald Trump has shockingly been the focus of all of this all long. That's why you're not seeing the knockdown, drag-out democrat fight," said CBN News chief political correspondent David Brody.

Listen in to today's CBN News Daily Rundown for a post-debate debrief with Brody and CBN News national security correspondent Eric Philips.

Pete Buttigieg may not be the official front-runner in the Democratic primary, but CBN News chief political analyst, David Brody, says there’s no doubt the attacks in tonight’s debate will be aimed in his direction.

“He’s a great candidate…he reminds me of Barack Obama back in 2007…from a cadence perspective, from a generational perspective, from an uplifting perspective and boy, he’s able to kind of weave a narrative…and he’s brought in faith, Barack Obama brought in faith as well, and he’s able to do it in this kind of progressive, compassionate Matthew 25 type of gospel that we’ve heard before,” Brody said of Buttigieg.

Listen in to today's CBN News Daily Rundown as Brody shares his expectations for tonight's fifth Democratic debate.

A surprise announcement, Monday, from the Trump administration involving the so-called Israeli settlements and a policy change that the president says is meant to, "right a historical wrong."

President Obama believed that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were illegal under international law, so his policy at the UN and in Washington was to prevent new construction. The Trump administration is now reversing that policy.

“It’s more than just symbolic because here you have America saying, ‘Hey wait this is wrong, this is not true, it’s wrong and we don’t have to hold this up as an icon that you won’t have peace unless you get rid of all the settlements,’” said Mideast correspondent Julie Stahl on today’s CBN News Daily Rundown.

CBN News chief political analyst David Brody recently sat down with former US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, in an exclusive interview. They talked about her new book, "With All Due Respect," her relationship with President Trump and what her political future looks like. Here's a hint, she's still one to watch. Brody is on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

There's a major push for children to be permitted to make life-altering medical decisions in relation to their gender. From high-priced hormones to puberty blockers to surgery. In the last 10 years, more than 45 gender clinics for children have opened up across the country.

Reporter Heather Sells recently interviewed several parents of transgender adults. They're alarmed and speaking out about how quickly medical and educational professionals push treatment on any gender-questioning child and they say they're ready to go public if it will prevent a new generation of medically scarred and sterile transgender adults.

Sells is on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

“You know with Nixon back in the 70’s we had a couple smoking guns, we had the Watergate Tapes we had the Saturday Night Massacre. With Bill Clinton, we had perjury we had Monica Lewinsky we had the ‘blue dress.’ The point is we had salacious stuff, we had moments, we had an actual acute smoking gun. What’s the smoking gun here exactly,” questioned CBN News Chief political analyst, David Brody, about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Is there enough to take down the president? Trump's response is simple, "Read the transcript."

Brody is on today's CBN News Daily Rundown with the latest on what Democrats are calling, "bombshell" testimony, the timeline for the impeachment process and his prediction of how it will all turn out.

“There’s a resilience among Israeli’s to be able to withstand this physically, emotionally even spiritually for years. This is a periodic occurrence, especially with the people down south…They have been dealing with thousands, tens of thousands of rockets, over the years since maybe 2005,” said Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell.

The latest round of attacks from Gaze is in response to the recent Israeli assassination of one of the Islamic Jihad senior officials. They're calling it, “an act of war,” but as Mitchell and Mideast correspondent Julie Stahl point out on today's CBN News Daily Rundown—it will likely only turn into war if Hamas and ultimately Iran join the fight—or if Israeli lives are lost.
