Today, we're sharing a special look at a podcast we think you'll like from our friends at ABC Audio and 20/20. It's called “Burden of Proof: Luigi Mangione.” In this five-part series, ABC News Legal Analyst Brian Buckmire goes deep into the case of Luigi Mangione and Brian Thompson. He'll unpack the murder itself, the two men at the heart of the story, and how this case has affected the conversation about healthcare in America. This is episode one, “Christmastime in Altoona.” In this episode, the manhunt for the alleged shooter of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson comes to an end at a McDonald's in Altoona, PA.

It's Friday, August 14th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus India's March for Life draws 5,000 India's fifth National March for Life was held on August 8 and 9 in the city of Chennai, drawing a crowd of 5,000 people eager to proclaim the dignity of human life, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Cardinal Anthony Poola, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, was present at the march and delivered a powerful pro-life address. He said, “Pro-life is the most important mission to be carried out in our dioceses, congregations and institutions. If we do not act now, we may soon be left with institutions – but without people. … Do not be afraid. The Catholic Church in India stands with you to fight for the right to life of every unborn child.” Emma Magdalene of LifeSiteNews.com added, “The number one cause of death today is not COVID, cancer, or even any war. It's abortion. The World Health Organization reports that over 73 million abortions take place globally every year. What a heartbreaking reality.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is Democratic presidential frontrunner Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is now the frontrunner to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee, according to Polymarket odds, marking the first time she has led the pack, reports The Independent. As of Wednesday evening, 21 percent of traders backed the New York leftist, who was trailed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom at 17 percent. On rival prediction site Kalshi, the results were the same, with Ocasio-Cortez narrowly topping Newsom. Meanwhile, conventional political polls still put former Vice President Kamala Harris at the top spot, with Newsom in second, and Cortez in a distant fourth. Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty today, August 14th, in his federal case tied to his alleged execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — in an apparent bid to dodge a life sentence, reports the New York Post. The 28-year-old accused killer — who is set to appear at a morning hearing in Manhattan federal court — is charged in the federal case with two counts of stalking resulting in death stemming from his alleged December 2024 cold-blooded murder of the powerful executive on a Manhattan sidewalk. Mangione would still likely face a potential life sentence if he were to plead guilty in federal court, but would hope that U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett doles out a lesser sentence. The heir of a wealthy Maryland family led authorities on a dramatic five-day manhunt before local cops in Altoona, Pennsylvania finally nabbed him while he munched on breakfast at a local McDonald's. (Look at raw bodycam footage: Scroll to the :52 mark) Prosecutors say he plotted the shocking killing to make a violent political statement, leaving behind bullet casings at the crime scene with the words “delay” and “deny” etched into them — echoing a phrase insurers allegedly use to describe dodging paying out claims. Christian weatherman's prayers on-air for safety in San Antonio And finally, San Antonio, Texas-based meteorologist Bill Taylor on KENS-5 TV, a media colleague of mine, went viral for praying live on air on July 15th for the people of the Texas Hill Country who were facing an imminent tornado on the ground. During continuous, commercial-free coverage, he said this. TAYLOR: “You look at the time of day and there are just a lot of people that would be traveling in this area, traveling to work — Saint Hedwig, China Grove, right over Highway 87, right at [Loop] 1604. A number of motorists here. “So, Lord, I pray for protection. God, your sovereignty is what we lean into in moments like this, that drivers stay aware, stay alert. That you give them wisdom. Bless these drivers with wisdom. Keep them safe. Put angels around them of protection as they travel. Thank you, Lord. We're just going to get you home safely.” Later, Taylor offered this prayer. TAYLOR: “Praying for these people in the path of this storm that Lord God, your sovereignty would be here. That You, Lord, would protect everyone in the path of this storm. That You would give wisdom and clarity for families to seek shelter. That these plans would enact now. That people would reach out to those people in this affected area to give them the warning they need. In Your holy name, protect us, Lord.” In a follow-up interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Bill Taylor explained what was going through his mind at the time. TAYLOR: “This could be a tornado on the ground at any second, and it was impacting a densely populated area. And knowing the sensitivity of the Hill Country flooding that took more than 100 lives a year ago, knowing how destructive a tornado can be, it just truly came out of the Holy Spirit within me to start praying in that moment for protection, for His sovereignty, for people to be clear and wise enough to seek shelter. “When we're in continuous coverage, there's no producer prompting me. There's no script in weather ever, even on a routine day. We're on our own. We're doing a PowerPoint presentation based on our slides that we put together. We're our own producers. The only time that somebody's in my ear is to tell me how much time I have left. “Well, when we have life-threatening weather, we're on till it's over. We stay on — commercial-free — until it's over. And it's on all platforms between broadcast, then our stream channel, Facebook, YouTube. “And when it happened, the Spirit of God came over me and said, ‘Pray!' Praise God that He delivered, as He always does. He's faithful, and we were protected from what could have been a lot worse.” CBN's Tré Phillips asked about what lesson Christian viewers could glean. PHILLIPS: “So, what would you say to those of us who want to be, like you were, more attuned to that still, small prompting of the Holy Spirit?” TAYLOR: “To do it. Take that step and be obedient to it, because it truly is the hands and feet, the body of Christ. You get that prompting, and when that obedience flows, this is God in action. “'Wherever two or more gather in My name, I shall be there.' (Matthew 18:20) That's why He uses us in this body of Christ, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within us to prompt us in those moments.” 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” Send Bill Taylor a 3-sentence email to btaylor@kens5.com, thanking him for boldly praying live on the air for the safety of people in the Texas Hill Country. Or send him a physical letter. This would be a great project for your kids! Bill Taylor, KENS 5 TV, 5400 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78229.

Oneil Cruz is in Altoona for his rehab assignment. The Pirates are on pace for 78 wins. A trip to Starkey's mailbag. Is this the most disappointing Pirates team since 1979? Joe thinks the 2016 Pirates that were the most disappointing team of the 20th century. Is it fair to criticize the way the Pirates develop young pitching? If Broderick Jones shows he can play, can the Steelers trade Jones?

Sammy Stafura has turned a slow start into one of the hottest stretches anywhere in the Pirates farm system. Since June 14, the shortstop is hitting .359 with a .420 on base percentage, an .816 slugging percentage, 13 home runs and 14 stolen bases. Jim and Anthony Murphy break down what has changed at the plate, how much of the power surge is real, why Stafura's defense and speed still provide the foundation of his game, when he could reach Altoona and whether his rising value could make him part of a trade deadline deal.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 10 verses 19-30. Can a Christian lose their salvation? In John 10, Jesus makes one of His clearest and most comforting promises: “My sheep hear my voice… I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.” In this sermon, we examine Jesus' teaching about His identity as the Messiah, the doctrine of election, the marks of a true believer, and the incredible security found in Christ.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 10 verse 11-18. Jesus describes the world as a dangerous place inhabited by spiritual wolves. Sin, temptation, deception, and death threaten the sheep—and we cannot protect or save ourselves. We need a shepherd. In John 10:11–18, Jesus declares, “I am the good shepherd.” He proves this claim by laying down His life for His sheep, knowing them personally, and gathering people from every nation into one flock. Unlike hired hands who abandon the sheep when following them becomes costly, Jesus willingly faced our greatest enemy. On the cross, He received the punishment our sins deserved and rose again so that His people could receive forgiveness, righteousness, and eternal life. This sermon also considers how we can know whether we belong to Jesus' flock. His sheep know Him, care for one another, seek those who are not yet in the flock, and delight in walking with their Shepherd.
We ask a man in the know what the expectations are for Penn State this season under Matt Campbell.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 10 verses 1-10. Everyone seems to have a different answer for where the good life is found. We are told to pursue success, pleasure, wealth, achievement, self-improvement, or the approval of others. Yet these competing voices continually promise more than they can deliver. In John 10:1–10, Jesus makes a striking claim: “I am the gate.” He is not merely offering another strategy for improving our lives. He is claiming to be the only entrance into salvation, security, belonging, and abundant life. This sermon examines the competing voices that try to lead us, Jesus' exclusive authority as the gate for the sheep, and what He means when He promises life in abundance. The good life is not found when our circumstances finally become perfect. It is found in knowing Christ. If you have Christ, you already possess the life that everything else is promising. Do not spend your life searching elsewhere for what you have already been given in Him.
The Pirates are sending Seth Hernandez and Edward Florentino to the MLB Futures Game, and Alex Stumpf believes both could become mainstays in Pittsburgh sooner rather than later. Hernandez has 100 strikeouts in 62⅓ innings and the competitive mindset to match, while Florentino combines major power with an advanced approach and impressive makeup. On today's OffBeat, Alex explains why both prospects could finish 2026 in Altoona and why Hernandez may eventually share a Pirates rotation with Paul Skenes. Presented by FanDuel.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 9 verses 13-34. Everyone in John 9 witnessed the same extraordinary evidence: a man who had been blind from birth could suddenly see. Yet while the healed man increasingly recognized who Jesus was, the Pharisees became increasingly determined to reject Him. This sermon examines the difference between spiritual blindness and true spiritual sight. Spiritual blindness dismisses evidence to protect its own worldview, fears people more than God, and refuses to acknowledge its need for Christ. True sight produces bold witness, values Jesus above social acceptance, and ultimately leads to worship. The healed man did not have every theological answer, but he faithfully testified to what he knew: “One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see.” His story reminds us that we do not need to know everything before telling others what Jesus has done for us. John 9 warns us that the greatest blindness is being unable—or unwilling—to recognize that we are blind. But it also gives us hope: when this man was rejected by others, Jesus went looking for him and brought him into a relationship with Himself.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 9 verses 1-12.Why does God allow suffering? In John 9, Jesus encounters a man who had been blind from birth. While the disciples assume his suffering must be punishment for a particular sin, Jesus explains that his blindness would become an opportunity for the works and glory of God to be displayed.By giving physical sight to the blind man, Jesus illustrates His greater mission as the Light of the World—the Savior who opens spiritually blind eyes and brings life to those living in darkness.This sermon explores the relationship between sin and suffering, the urgency of doing God's work while there is still time, and the way genuine faith responds to Jesus with obedience. Whether facing suffering, confusion, sin, or spiritual blindness, we are invited to bring it all to Christ and walk in His light.

Join us again this week as we continue our summer sermon series in the Gospel of John with chapter 8 verses 37-59. The religious leaders claimed Abraham as their father and God as their own, but Jesus challenged their confidence by exposing what their response to Him revealed about their hearts. What does it mean to be a true child of Abraham? Why is rejecting Jesus ultimately rejecting God? Why does Jesus leave us no neutral ground? We must either reject Him or fall at His feet and worship Him as Lord.
This month veteran sportscaster Rodger Wyland shares the story of his 40-year career at WNYT and his unexpected start in Altoona at age 15.

Join us this week as we kick off our summer sermon series, continuing from the last two summers with part three in our look at The Gospel of John. Today we look at false belief and true freedom as expressed in John chapter 8 verses 30-36.
In the final week of our Building Together series, we look at what the New Testament teaches about church growth. Should a local church care about growing? Should we aim to reach more people, make more disciples, and expand the work of ministry?From Acts 2, Matthew 28, and other New Testament passages, we see that the early church was constantly growing because it was committed to the mission Jesus gave: to glorify God by making authentic disciples who love and worship Him in all they do.As Walnut Creek Church looks toward the future, we are praying, giving, and growing together so that more people in Altoona and the surrounding communities would come to know Jesus for generations to come.
Destination: The Port of Hollidaysburg! Landlocked Hollidaysburg sits just south of Altoona. The only waterway is the Beaverdam Branch of the Juniata River, maybe 30 feet wide at this point...a port? 190 years ago...yes! Hollidaysburg was a big canal town at the heart of the Pennsylvania Canal system, where everything from the east came to go west, and vice versa. Hollidaysburg was where the canal boats were broken into sections to be hauled over the Allegheny Mountains on cable-powered rail cars, in an audacious engineering feat called the Allegheny Portage Railroad. You know we're going to do that history, because I love it, but we're also going to sit down for an interview with Matt Krueger, the owner, brewer, and "Chief Hydroceramic Engineer" at Sugar Run Brewing in nearby Duncansville. I've known Matt for about 20 years, but I didn't know he brewed beer; turns out he's pretty damned good at it! Hear the stories, about birds and beers, and Pickles the Class A Motorhome. Then Dirt Road Dave and I hit the bars in Hollidaysburg: Marzoni's Brick Oven & Brewery, Boro Coffee (it's a coffee bar, okay?), Mayfield and The Pipe Room, and Shan Nicole's Irish Pub. Good times, and I'll tell you all about it. I've also got a tease about a possible event this Fall; more on that, probably in August, because right now I'm up to my armpits in book writing and my son's wedding. Busy busy busy! What I'm Drinking Today is kind of a big deal. It's the first review anywhere of Found North Batch 012, a new blend from a company that's been exploring new frontiers in Canadian whisky. I'm pleased that they asked me to take first crack at it. Spoiler alert: wow. The Smack Dab In The Centre segment celebrates the opening of ice cream stand season. Let's go get a delicious cone!

The wait is over. Trey Wilson, the voice of the Richmond Flying Squirrels on 910 The Fan, owner of one of the most aggressively orange baseball card collections in existence, and the freshly minted 2025 Tosty winner for Breakthrough Friendship of the Year, finally pulls up a chair.Trey takes us through the unlikely path that got him here: a flyer on a college bulletin board, a volleyball broadcast he was extremely bad at, a brief detour out of school he won't fully explain, and a slow climb through the Blue Jays minor league system from Bluefield to Lansing to Altoona before landing in Richmond. Along the way: idolizing Will Clark, sitting across from John Smoltz, why his "stats and research department" is actually just him on his third Celsius at 4 a.m. in a Best Western, and the running tally on his Martinsville hot dog record (currently 15, and yes he's trying to beat it).Catch Squirrels broadcasts on the Odyssey app (Sports Radio 910 The Fan) or on MLB.TV with the Giants set as a favorite.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series about building our church together.You can visit Walnut Creek Church - Altoona online at wcaltoona.org
Join us this week for a brand new sermon mini-series on what it means to build a church together, starting with Matthew 28 verses 16-20.Nearly ten years ago, a small team left downtown Des Moines to plant Walnut Creek Church in Altoona. What began with a handful of families meeting in a renovated 150-year-old building has grown into a thriving church committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ. In this message, we share the vision behind Building Together. A church-wide initiative focused on prayer, generosity, growth, and preparing for the next generation of ministry.From Matthew 28, Ephesians 4, Acts 2, and Psalm 127, we explore God's design for His church and the role each believer plays in making disciples, growing spiritually, and reaching the community with the gospel.Whether you're part of Walnut Creek Church or simply interested in biblical church growth, this message offers a vision for what it means to build together for God's glory.
Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to a Pirates series win over the Rockies. The Pirates started Endy Rodriguez, who immediately provided as much offense as Henry Davis has all season. Jason thinks if Endy hits, he will play, even though Davis provides the good defense. Jason thinks Carmen Mlodzinski heads to the bullpen when Jared Jones returns, even though he's arguably been better than Bubba Chandler this season. Jason described Jones as ‘intense' after a report about how he was handling questions after his rehab start in Altoona. Did the one blown save from Dennis Santana crush his legacy with Don Kelly? The guys asked Jason about Konnor Griffin moving about the lineup. Is Pittsburgh a ‘mediocre' baseball town? Jason said the team has to earn the trust of the fans since we have only witnessed 3 playoff teams in 30+ years.

Seth Hernandez is wasting no time making noise in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system. After dominating in Low-A with eye-opening strikeout numbers, an ERA under one, and three secondary pitches producing massive whiff rates, Hernandez has already earned a promotion to High-A Greensboro. On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down why Hernandez's stuff has been so overwhelming, what makes his fastball-changeup-slider-curveball mix so advanced, and why Greensboro could be the next real test in his development. He also looks at whether Hernandez could follow a Konnor Griffin-style rise through the system and potentially reach Altoona before the end of the year.

Join us this week as we finish our sermon series in Genesis, looking at chapters 46-50. After nearly four years and 64 sermons through the book of Genesis, we arrive at the final chapters of Scripture's first book. Genesis 45–50 brings Joseph's story to its conclusion and ties together the major themes that have run throughout Genesis from the very beginning: God's promises, God's blessing, God's providence, and the faith of His people. Joseph's suffering preserved many lives, but Jesus' suffering secured salvation for the world. What people intended for evil, God used for ultimate good.As Genesis closes, God's people still wait for the full fulfillment of His promises. Their story ends with faith—and ours does too—as we await the return of Christ.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an equine business owner who's followed a straight, perfectly mapped-out path.And in this conversation with Leyna Cannon, owner and chief hand-pourer of Grey Horse Candle Co., that couldn't be more true.When I reached out to Leyna, I was curious about the story behind Grey Horse Candle Co.

Better access to mental health care for firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and state police officers was provided by state law last year. Now the current budget proposal seeks to expand workers compensation and death coverage to first responders called to duty during state disaster emergencies. Dauphin County State Representative Justin Williams says crisis counseling and mental health treatment is essential for emergency personnel. Pennsylvania's Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Pope Leo the Fourteenth will accept Philadelphia's National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal this summer. Two special elections were held in Pennsylvania Tuesday. In State House District 193, Republican Catherine Wallen was elected the new state Representative for parts of Adams and Cumberland counties. In the other special election, in state House District 79, Republican Andrea Verobish was elected the new state representative for Altoona and its suburbs. Ethics experts are raising concerns after state Treasurer Stacy Garrity campaigned at a gala hosted by a firm from which she purchased millions in bonds in her official state role.

Fenbendazole Side Effects in Dogs: What Breeders Need to Know About Rare ReactionsFenbendazole (Panacur) has been a go-to dewormer for veterinarians and breeders for over 40 years — but a rare, life-threatening blood disorder in a 10-month-old French Bulldog is prompting a closer look. Dr. Marty Greer joins host Laura Reeves to share what happened, what it means, and why being an informed consumer of veterinary drugs matters more than ever.Marty shares her experience with a young French Bulldog who developed severe pancytopenia — dangerously low white blood cells, platelets near zero, and declining red blood cells — after a 10-day course of fenbendazole for Giardia.In this episode, Marty and Laura cover:Idiosyncratic vs. idiopathic reactions— what the difference means and why it matters when a drug you trust causes an unexpected responseThe fenbendazole case— a detailed walkthrough of diagnosis, the ruling-out process (parvo, tick-borne disease, vaccines, other drugs), and the treatment that turned it around within 24 hoursThe FDA Dear Veterinarian letter— as of April 2024, pancytopenia had been reported in 12 dogs on fenbendazole; this case may make 13How to report adverse drug reactions— and why that reporting matters for future label updatesMDR-1 gene mutations— which breeds are affected and what drugs to watchTrimethoprim-sulfa (Bactrim/Albon)— breeds at higher risk for platelet drops, including Samoyeds, Dobermans, Goldens and BorzoiTopical flea/tick products— the "heebie-jeebies" skin sensation and what to do if your dog reacts every monthReading package inserts— a practical tip: search for the drug name + "package insert PDF" and use Ctrl+F to find terms like "pregnant," "breeding," or "male"Key takeaway: Fenbendazole remains a safe, widely used drug — but as with any medication, idiosyncratic reactions can happen. Awareness is the goal, not alarm. If something seems off in a dog on any medication, add it to your list of differentials and call your vet.Resources mentioned:Search: "Dear Veterinarian letter fenbendazole" to find the FDA communicationVeterinary Information Network (VIN): vin.comPure Dog Talk Patron community: puredogtalk.com/patronPedigrees to Pups Seminar Weekend — Austin, TX (March 27–29) and Altoona, WI (April 10–12): puredogtalk.com/events
