 No wonder we're in $37 trillion of debt. Our "leaders" have been ripping us off for generations, and now the scab on the wound is starting to come off. How Hillary staffer John Podesta was put in charge of a monster grift with just weeks to go in Joe Biden's presidency and the race to claw the jaw-dropping sum back. President Trump issues Hamas a final warning to release every last remaining hostage or else face "hell to pay." And he makes moves to bring those stranded astronauts home. Democrat voters are seeing it, too, as their co-opted party walks off a cliff.

I wanted to open with a quick recap of what a few other's also thought about the President's address to the joint session of Congress. As with the polling, the vast majority is in support of the Trump agenda and were disgusted at how the Democrats could not support anyone or anything outside of more money for Ukraine. Looks like Hunter Biden is going broke. Who would have thought that as soon as his dad was no longer in a place of influence, he'd be out of work? President Trump met with a group of survivors of being held hostage by Hamas in the wake of the October 7, 2023 massacre. Right after he put out a message to Hamas – return everyone now or cease to exist. We then dive into what is perhaps one of the biggest instances of sheer fraud and corruption via the Biden EPA. Stacey Abrams must be nervous about it, because she wants to convince people she's out there lowering the price of energy and Trump isn't doing anything, other than taking her money away. The ongoing work and following the money out of USAID has some in the Trump administration suggesting criminal referrals may follow to the DOJ. On top of that, AG Andrew Bailey (R-MO) is asking the DOJ to investigate whether Executive Orders, pardons and other documents were illegally pushed out of the Biden White House behind the back of the cognitively impaired President Biden? Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has an idea for Elon Musk and DOGE to consider. They might be able to push bills to “rescind” money rather than fully cancel money the DOGE team has identified as fraud, waste or abuse. Piers Morgan was asked to weigh-in on the comments made on MSNBC after the President's address, specifically dealing with 13 year old DJ Daniels. He was aghast, asking why Nicole Wallace even has a job still? The House voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX). While a handful of Democrats went with all of the Republicans, 198 Democrats sided with Green. Ironically, they once again picked the side that only 20% of Americans agree on, given the latest CNN poll about the incident. White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was asked to weigh-in on the protection of women and finally, the trapped astronauts confirm that Musk wanted to rescue them months ago, but Biden wouldn't let Trump get a “political” win.

It's Thursday, February 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 74% rise in hate speech in India targeting Christians and Muslims While India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President Donald Trump last Wednesday to discuss the threat of increased tariffs between the two countries, the Center for the Study of Organized Hate found a 74% rise in hate speech incidents last year in India compared to 2023. About 10% of the 1,165 incidents targeted Christians — a population that makes up just 2.3% of the population — while more than 98% of cases targeted Muslims, either alone or together with Christians, reports International Christian Concern. In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated Me before it hated you. … Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Judge gives Dept. of Government Efficiency massive win On Tuesday, a federal judge refused to immediately block Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government data systems or participating in worker layoffs, reports The Guardian. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, found that there were legitimate questions about the billionaire's authority, but said there was not enough evidence of grave legal harm to justify a temporary restraining order. The decision came in reaction to a February 13th lawsuit filed by 14 attorneys general in Democratic states challenging the Department of Government Efficiency's authority to access sensitive government data. But the Trump administration has maintained that layoffs are ordered by agency heads. Biden's EPA advisor admits $50 billion ‘insurance policy' against Trump In an undercover video that was released last December, Project Veritas revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency was frantically doling out billions of dollars before then President-elect Donald Trump took office on January 20th, 2025. The video revealed that Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation at the EPA, was having drinks with a undercover Project Veritas reporter, bragging about how much hard-earned taxpayer money he was doling out to liberal climate groups. Listen. EFRON: “We've given out, like, tens of billions of dollars.” REPORTER: “The EPA has?” EFRON: “Like last year, like $50 billion.” REPORTER: “$50 million?” EFRON: “No. billion dollars. Billion with a B.” REPORTER: “$50 billion?” EFRON: “Yes, for climate things.” Shockingly, Efron described what they were doing at the EPA leading up to Trump's January 20th, 2025 inauguration as throwing gold bars off the Titanic. EFRON: “It truly feels like we're on the Titanic, and we're throwing, like, gold bars off the back end.” REPORTER: “Does it really?” EFRON: “Yeah.” REPORTER: “It's gotta feel weird.” EFRON: “It's weird. I mean, it's it's not good vibes. It's not good. I mean, everyone's very sad.” REPORTER: “Where are the gold bars going to?” EFRON: “Non-profits, states, tribes, cities.” REPORTER: “Anything, like, in the news that I would know of?” EFRON: “Not yet.” The undercover Project Veritas reporter wanted to know what would happen if the Trump people discovered what the Biden appointees were doing with the money. REPORTER: “What happens if they try to stop it? They can?” EFRON: “When they come in, if we haven't gotten out the door, then they can stop it.” REPORTER: “You've got like two months. If they don't get it out by a certain date. What's that date?” EFRON: “It's the inauguration, the 20th.  It's noon on the 20th of January.” REPORTER: “You can work right down to the minute?” EFRON: “It's probably like a little after noon. Yeah.” REPORTER: “Hey, throw a couple billion here or there.” EFRON: “It's until the Trump people come in and tell us we can no longer give out money.” REPORTER: “Wow!” Efron also said, “We gave them [the nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren't [a government agency], they're safer from Republicans taking the money away.” Trump's EPA Administrator found $20 billion siphoned away by Biden's people Lee Zeldin, Trump's Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, was horrified by this revelation, reports The Western Journal. ZELDIN: “An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before Inauguration Day. The gold bars were tax dollars, and ‘tossing them off the Titanic' meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.” To his credit, Zeldin was able to recover $20 billion of our taxpayer money, according to his Monday video. ZELDIN: “Fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. “Even further, this pot of $20 billion was awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to [Non Governmental Organizations] and others, at their discretion, with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.” Zeldin explained what he intends to do now. ZELDIN: “Here's my position as EPA Administrator. The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated, and the bank must immediately return all of the ‘gold bars' that the Biden administration tossed off the Titanic. “EPA needs to reassume responsibility for all of these funds. We will review every penny that has gone out the door. I will be referring this matter to the Inspector General's office, and we'll work with the Justice Department as well.” Presbyterian Church in America repents of helping illegals stay And finally, The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) recently issued a statement repenting for guidance on one of its websites that advised illegal immigrants how to avoid detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reports The Christian Post. After it went viral on X last week, the conservative Presbyterian denomination deleted a resource page titled "Refugee & Immigrant Ministry for Churches: Help Immigrants Facing 2025 Policy Changes.” It was published in January by Mission to North America, a subsidiary of the PCA. Megan Basham, author of Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded Truth for A Leftist Agenda, tweeted, “The verbiage of this document from the [Presbyterian Church in America] is overall emotionally manipulative, showing no respect for U.S. immigration law. It assumes that the only way you can love your immigrant neighbor is by helping him continue to remain in the country illegally.” After the guidance was deleted, Mission to North America Director Irwyn Ince issued an extensive statement of repentance. He wrote, "We affirm that it is our Christian duty to obey the lawful commands of the civil magistrate and be subject to their authority (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:13-14). To counsel otherwise is a sin. We confess that we fell short of our Biblical and Confessional standard. We repent and apologize.” Indeed, 1 Peter 2:13-14 does say, “Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

President-elect Donald Trump is starting to fill key posts in his second administration, putting an emphasis so far on aides and allies who were his strongest backers during the 2024 campaign. Among his picks are Susie Wiles for chief of staff, Elise Stefanik for United Nations ambassador, and Tom Homan and Stephen Miller for a pair of roles that will include immigration enforcement. Miller will be deputy chief of staff for policy while Homan will be “border czar,” a role in which he'll oversee Trump's promised largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

Phil Kerpen contends that this policy is contrary to law, and that the survival of internal combustion vehicles may depend on the outcome of the next national elections.  Biden's electric vehicle mandates are bad for America, but Michigan Congressman John James now has a bill that could block the mandates.  Might you have some time to have Phil Kerpen on the show? Phil Kerpen: “Michigan Congressman John James's bill is the most significant effort yet in Congress to block Biden's EV mandates and save internal combustion vehicles.  It will put every member of the House and Senate on the record whether they think the Biden EPA should be allowed to ban 70% of gas car sales by model year 2032—and it is a privileged resolution that cannot be filibustered.  It would force Biden to either back down or use his veto pen to defy bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate to deny consumers the cars and trucks they want—right before the election.” Philip G. Kerpen is an American free-market policy analyst and political organizer. He is the president of American Commitment, a conservative 501 organization which he founded in 2012. He previously served for over five years as the vice president of Americans for Prosperity.

We're very excited for today's episode, because from now on we'll be delivering you two Decoders every week. On Monday's we'll have our classic interviews with CEOs and other high-profile guests. But our new shorter Thursday episode – like today's – will explain big topics in the news with Verge reporters, experts, and other friends of the show.  The big idea we're going to jump into today does in fact have a lot of problems: electric vehicle adoption in the US. We invited Verge Transportation Editor Andy Hawkins, who's been covering the EV transition for years, to walk us through what's happening.  Late last year, Andy wrote a fantastic article called, “The EV Transition trips over its own cord.” It was all about the kind of paradox of the EV market right now: The momentum for electric cars in America feels like it's started to hit serious snags, even though more people than ever before are going fully electric. The stakes are high, and there's a lot going on. Let's get into it.  Links:  The EV transition trips over its own cord — The Verge We're down to just a handful of EVs that qualify for the full US tax credit — The Verge Electric cars were having issues.

This week's Open Mic guest is Ted McKinney, Chief Executive Officer of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. Fresh off of the group's annual meeting earlier this month in Wyoming, state ag leaders, along with the rest of the ag community are keeping an eye on Washington for signs of a path forward for a Fiscal Year 2024 budget and signs of life for a new farm bill. McKinney discusses both sides of a continuing resolution to keep the government running, frustrations with the Biden EPA over its development of a new definition of WOTUS, California's Proposition 12, and the Biden Administration's efforts on global trade.

The Biden EPA has recently approved a Chevron produced fuel ingredient that carries such a high cancer risk that it could cause cancer in anyone exposed--over a lifetime. This was reported by Propublica as part of their "Poison in the Air" series. Meanwhile, the corporate media focused on the 'horse race' between Trump and Biden--or on Hunter Biden's magical penis. The obvious disservice to the public is vile. This fuel ingredient is being touted by Chevron as a 'biofuel', yet it's made from PLASTICS. What the average person fails to understand is that 'plastics' are made from--guess what--FOSSIL FUEL. Still the EPA has approved this dangerous ingredient.  I will also present the "Jackass of the Week" award, and we will enjoy the stylings of Randy Rainbow.  Come join me.  Jeanine

In Sackett, the Court clarified one of the longest-standing environmental law challenges: defining “waters of the United States.” The Court unanimously rejected the “significant nexus” test for jurisdiction and adopted the “relatively permanent waters” test from the plurality decision in the 2006 case, Rapanos v. United States. Also in Sackett, a 5-4 majority narrowed the definition of adjacent wetlands significantly.Watch or listen to a recording of this panel as they discuss the Court's decision, how it might impact the Biden EPA's recently adopted regulation, and the future of the Clean Water Act.

This week's Open Mic guest is Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa. The two-term representative is a 5th generation Iowan with an affinity for agriculture and rural subjects. Axne says supply chain issues are an issue for farmers approaching planting season with some crop decisions based more on supply availability than market fundamentals. She's calling on the Biden administration to take steps to reduce tariffs on imported fertilizer and increase production and use of domestic energy supplies. Axne supports efforts to address cattle price discovery and says her first priority is her own constituents. She has lobbied the Biden EPA on both renewable fuel use as well as the effort to define the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act on the nation's land and tributaries.

John Beard is a former Exxon Mobil oil refinery operator and firefighter from Port Arthur, Texas. Like his father before him, he labored his whole life in the refineries that surround this struggling city on the Gulf Coast east of Houston. When Beard finally retired after 38 years in 2017, he decided to make a radical change. He devoted himself, full time, to fighting against the air pollution, chemical threats, climate change and coastal flooding caused by the fossil fuel industry that he saw devastating the lower-income, mostly African-American community where he grew up. Working with the Environmental Integrity Project and Lone Star Legal Aid, he recently succeeded in petitioning the Biden EPA to launch an investigation of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for allegedly violating the civil rights of Port Arthur residents by allowing a petroleum processing plant owned by billionaire William Koch to release tons of potentially deadly sulfur dioxide air pollution every year without any modern pollution control equipment.
