The Bulletin

Biden’s Mental Acuity, Afghan Refugees in Iran, and the Rising National Debt

The Bulletin discusses Biden’s last acts as president, Iran’s deportations of Afghan refugees, and America’s growing national debt. 

This week on The Bulletin, Mike and Clarissa discuss the investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive acuity and his pardons in his last days in office. Then, they talk about the mass deportation of Afghan refugees from Iran. Finally, financial advisor David Bahnsen provides a 101 on the national debt, how the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ will affect the debt, and what it would take to start paying it back off.
