The Bulletin

Trump(ets) Are Blarin’

The Bulletin discusses Trump’s Gaza announcement, the fate of USAID, and Elon Musk’s influence on Capitol Hill.

Today, Clarissa, Mike, and Russell talk with Noah Rothman of National Review about President Trump’s announcement of an American takeover of Gaza. Then, veteran journalist Mindy Belz joins to discuss the shuttering of USAID. Finally, political analyst and journalist Yuval Levin stops by to talk about Elon Musk, the dismantling of the US government, and the compelling hope of what he calls “the Nehemiah Option.”

Each week, the show explores current events and breaking news and shares a Christian perspective on issues that are shaping our world.
