It's Thursday, September 3rd, 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 Jonathan Clark Iranian Muslim leaders killed 33 Christian ministers recently Iranian authorities have killed at least 33 Christian ministers in the past few months. The pastors were serving with Iran Alive Ministries, a Texas-based organization that supports house churches in the country. Authorities also arrested 131 Christians associated with the organization. Some of them are now on death row.  Despite this persecution, the ministry reports 5,849 Muslims have converted to Christianity this year. Iran Alive founder Hormoz Shariat  told the Baptist Press, “Christian prisoners consider prison as their place of ministry and they are leading many people to Christ.” The Apostle Paul was also a witness in prison. Acts 16:25 says, “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” Iran-American War reaches sixth month The war between Iran and the United States continued into its six month last week. The United States carried out strikes on Iran's southern coast on Tuesday. Iran fired on U.S. bases in the region. It's the biggest exchange between the two countries since July, according to Reuters.  Despite ongoing conflict, oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have rebounded to about two-thirds of pre-war levels.  Christian convert from Iran received asylum in Canada A Christian convert from Iran recently received asylum in Canada after being deported from the U.S. Twenty-seven-year old Artemis Ghasemzadeh entered America in 2024. If returned to Iran, she would face extreme persecution. International Christian Concern noted, “Refugees fleeing religious persecution have traditionally been granted asylum on American soil, but they faced more stringent border and refugee laws under the Trump administration. Ghasemzadeh pursued asylum in Canada after lawyers advised her that the United States was unlikely to allow her to return.”  Litigation over the Abortion Kill Pill delated until after midterms Litigation in the U.S. over the abortion kill pill is being delayed until after the midterm elections in November.  The case began last December. Florida and Texas challenged the original approval of the abortion drug mifepristone in 2000 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  However, a federal judge paused the lawsuit on Sunday until at least December 1. If successful, the lawsuit would make the abortion drug unavailable in all states. Florida removing all Flock cameras Florida is removing all Flock cameras from state roads. Flock cameras automatically read license plates and capture vehicle data for law enforcement, neighborhoods, and businesses. The Florida Department of Transportation recently revoked permits for license plate readers, including Flock cameras along highways. The cameras are the subject of privacy concerns across the nation, especially alleged misuse of the cameras by police officers.  Listen to comments from Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. DESANTIS: “I'm all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that's important that we do that. No one's been stronger on law enforcement than me. But I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.” American church attendance up Churches are seeing more people attend worship services in recent years. A new survey from Lifeway Research found 54 percent of U.S. Protestant pastors report a growing church. Thirty-percent report a plateaued church. And 16 percent report a declining church.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “Given the trajectory of many churches before COVID, we expected to see more pastors reporting declines in attendance. However, we continue to see a majority of pastors saying their attendance is higher than two years ago.” Archeological proof that Christ's tomb in garden And finally, recent archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem support biblical accounts. Francesca Stasolla is an archaeology professor at the Sapienza University of Rome. Last year, she led an excavation focused on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The site is believed to be the location of Jesus' crucifixion and the empty tomb. The area was used as a stone quarry before Roman occupation. Later it was used for agriculture and tombs. The archeological effort discovered ancient seeds and pollen there. Stasolla told Fox News Digital that the pollen and seeds date to “between the use of the quarry and the Roman age, when the area had a funerary use”, meaning it was used for burying the dead. This aligns with the New Testament. John 19:41 says, “Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Shipwreck kicks off with her new obsession, fiber maxing, and how a fiber heavy routine has quietly fixed years of health issues, before pivoting into a rant about surveillance cameras popping up in towns too small to need them. She connects that to a data center fight near her home, complete with a mysterious pro data center billboard nobody will claim credit for. There is a bit on subscription based car features, a fun tangent on whether AI could already be running things, and a detour into philosophical zombies and inner monologues. The back half gets personal: turning down a lucrative brand deal that clashed with her own opinions, and reacting to reporting on the Pentagon quietly paying influencers without disclosure. She lands on a familiar note, that voting alone will not fix a rigged system, and health and self reliance matter more right now.

**Episode 1287: Flock Cameras, Dirty Cops, and the Jackson Reality Check** Clay flies solo for most of the show and then brings Andrew Gosser in for a real argument about Flock cameras and automated license plate readers. Clay's position is straightforward: public roads, public plates, and a city that has been the murder capital for years. He does not buy the idea that ripping the cameras out is some principled stand for liberty when the same people already carry phones and drive cars that track them. He walks through the numbers supporters actually use—missing people located, stolen cars recovered, homicides and kidnappings tied to plate hits, theft dropping in cities that installed them—and asks the only question that matters locally: how many stolen cars, missing kids, and unsolved murders are you willing to leave on the street so a handful of pervert cops can't look up an ex? Andrew pushes the other side hard. High-trust society is already gone. Warrantless movement logs, residential cameras, prosecutorial discretion, and the documented cases of officers using ALPR systems to stalk girlfriends and exes are not theoretical. He argues the cameras are sold as public safety while functioning as a permanent tracking tool, that errors produce wrongful stops, and that “if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about” is a dangerous slogan. They go back and forth on access controls, facial recognition claims, the difference between Flock and speeding cameras, and whether the documented abuse (dozens of officers, not thousands) outweighs the clearance and recovery numbers. Along the way Clay explains why he no longer calls Jackson 911, tells the 2019 four-flat-tire story on I-20 at Ellis Avenue, and says he's hitting pause on culture-rot topics for a while because talking about it has become more offensive to some listeners than the rot itself. No ads. No station IDs. Just the argument.

Your HOA may be watching every car that enters your neighborhood—and the housing market just snapped an eight-month growth streak. So are Flock cameras making communities safer… and is housing finally starting to crack? LIVE on This Week in Real Estate, we're digging into the biggest real estate news of the week, including HOA surveillance, rising mortgage rates, weakening buyer demand, housing-market divergence, MLS battles, commission lawsuits, and a growing debate over professionalism in real estate. Pending home sales just fell after eight straight months of year-over-year gains, new listings are climbing while demand slips, and higher mortgage rates are pushing more borrowers toward adjustable-rate loans. But calling this a nationwide housing crash may be way too simple: San Diego homes are selling faster, San Francisco is outperforming Seattle, and local markets continue to move in very different directions. Then there's the surveillance question. More HOAs are turning to Flock license-plate recognition cameras, raising new questions about security, privacy, data collection, and what buyers should know before moving into a neighborhood using them. In this live episode, we'll cover: • HOAs using Flock cameras to monitor vehicles entering neighborhoods • The privacy and disclosure questions buyers should be asking • Pending home sales breaking an eight-month growth streak • New listings rising as buyer demand weakens • Whether higher mortgage rates are actually pushing housing toward a crash • Why more borrowers are choosing adjustable-rate mortgages • San Diego homes suddenly selling faster than last year • San Francisco booming while Seattle's housing market struggles • The huge price premium for highly rated school zones—and one surprising exception • The $110.6M Gibson real estate commission settlements surviving appeal • Compass settling its fight with NWMLS • Alex Vidal taking the helm at REMAX after the Real acquisition • Why brokers say real estate has a professionalism problem Join us on YouTube every Wednesday, 12 PM CST!

Tom Deweese is president of American Policy Center. Tom is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education, American sovereignty and independence and protecting our constitutionally guaranteed rights. A growing concern is building across the country about the use and the abuse of Flock camera systems. From small towns to large metropolitan areas, the public is increasingly becoming aware of the growing use of these cameras and that their whereabouts are being tracked through the license plate reader system. As such, some communities are putting bags over the cameras to keep them from capturing images. Some states and communities are placing restrictions on them, while others are removing all Flock cameras from state roads. The next area of concern surrounds the growing number of data centers to facilitate the storing of your contacts, photos, text messages, emails, financial reports and anything you will put in the cloud. In some places electric rates are skyrocketing. In other communities the power of eminent domain is being used to take people's property for the establishment of data centers. Are these two, unconnected issues or is there something larger that's building before our eyes? You decide when you review this broadcast which features plenty of input from listeners as well.

Craig and Kevin have a guest in the studio this week: Jessi Cowart, a lifelong Montgomery County resident from Oak Ridge North who is running for Texas House District 15 as a Libertarian. The seat is open because Steve Toth is running for Congress, and Jessi says that if she wins she would be the first Libertarian ever seated in the Texas House. She came across our radar after our last conversation about Flock cameras, and she has plenty to say about them. First, civil asset forfeiture, which she calls legalized theft. Under the way Texas law is written the property itself becomes the defendant rather than the person, the burden of proof is almost nonexistent, and getting your property back is incredibly difficult even when you are never convicted of anything. Reform bills get filed every single legislative session and die every single session, and she puts that down to law enforcement lobby money rather than any real disagreement, since the Republican, Democrat, and Libertarian platforms in Texas all say they want it ended. Then the cameras. Jessi announced this week that she has drafted the Texas Automatic License Plate Reader Prohibition Act, an outright ban on government use of automatic license plate readers with anti-circumvention language in it. If she is elected on November 3rd, bill filing opens November 9th, and she says this is her first order of business. Her Fourth Amendment argument is not about one license plate seen in public, it is about the aggregate: a searchable database of where you live, where you work, where you worship, and who you associate with. We also get into The Woodlands Township unanimously approving $109,000 for 30 more cameras in December, with roughly $90,000 a year in ongoing cost after that, and the separate $50 million agreement to permanently end the City of Houston's right to annex the community. The longest stretch is property taxes, and she brought the math. Use the state budget surplus, which was running $27 to $28 billion at the start of last session and does not count the rainy day fund, to buy down school district M&O tax debt. Put real spending caps on local government, because Texas has five spending limits on the state and none at all on cities, MUDs, and school districts. Cut things like the $1.5 billion committed over ten years to Hollywood filmmaking in Texas. Then shift what remains toward sales tax without raising it astronomically. She thinks elimination in five years is realistic. Kevin tells the story of buying a house from an older woman who had a 65 and over exemption, and getting handed roughly $5,000 in back taxes two years later. We close on homeowner ground: why the median age of a first time buyer is now 40, why Jessi wants more small starter homes, duplexes, and condos rather than the same single family build on every parcel, her idea for a permit clock so permitting delays stop getting priced into every new house, why developers rather than existing taxpayers should pay for new development, and Craig's 25 year old employee in downtown Conroe who lined up three roommates before he closed on his first house.

Are license plate surveillance cameras catching violent criminals or violating civil liberties?!

Have you noticed those small, sleek black cameras appearing on utility poles and highway overpasses in your neighborhood? They're not just for traffic—they're part of a massive, private AI surveillance network built by a multi-billion dollar company called Flock Safety.In this video, we dive deep into how this proprietary AI system captures "vehicle fingerprints"—logging your license plate, make, model, and even unique identifiers like bumper stickers. More importantly, we explore how this private database potentially bypasses the Fourth Amendment, allowing law enforcement and private entities to track your daily routines without a warrant.We'll cover:What Flock cameras actually are and how they work.The legal implications of private AI surveillance.The growing grassroots movement to map and avoid these cameras.How this system could be used for behavioral conditioning and self-censorship.Learn more about the movement to reclaim your privacy: [Link to DeFlock.me]Join the conversation: What do you think about the rise of private AI surveillance?

Most photographers hear the word workflow and think importing, culling, editing, and delivering images. But a good photography workflow is much bigger than that.In this episode of Cowgirls with Cameras, we're talking about building a photography business that actually supports the life you want to live. That means getting clear on your priorities, deciding what deserves your time, and creating systems and boundaries that make your business sustainable.We talk about the difference between being busy and being productive, making room for rest and creative work, setting limits on how much you take on, and giving yourself permission to say no to opportunities that don't fit your goals. We also look at how clear communication, realistic turnaround times, buffer days, client expectations, and defined business hours can help you provide excellent service without being available 24/7.Because not every opportunity needs to be accepted. Not everything you love needs to become part of your business. And success doesn't have to look the same for every photographer.Your workflow should help you make a living, serve your clients well, and still leave room for your family, your horses, your creativity, your health, and the parts of life that matter most to you.

Dawn opens with the breaking news out of Massachusetts as the jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy reaches a deadlock on day four of deliberations. We break down the chilling details of the case involving the deaths of her three young children, the prosecution's argument for premeditated murder, and the absurdity of ignoring the young victims in favor of courtroom drama. iHeart talk host Larry Mendte joins the show to react to the trial's outrageous public circus and the failure to center the conversation around the three innocent lives lost. We get local with major stories impacting the Philadelphia region, starting with a shocking heat advisory that forced 52 Philadelphia public schools to dismiss early due to a complete lack of HVAC systems. Dawn questions how local and state leaders allow property taxes to funnel into a system where students are repeatedly shut out of classrooms. We also examine a tragic South Jersey parking lot crash where federal officials at Homeland Security called out local news coverage for omitting that the unlicensed driver charged in a baby's death entered the country illegally. Plus, we look at newly released surveillance video showing a Philadelphia police officer interacting with a man seconds before he was struck and killed in a fatal hit-and-run. Abington Police Chief and President of the Pennsylvania Chiefs Association Pat Malloy joins the program to address the heated debate surrounding automatic license plate readers and flock safety cameras. Chief Malloy breaks down how this technology helped his department dismantle a South American organized theft ring targeting local homes and explains why law enforcement needs these tools to fight modern crime. We examine the thin line between public safety, technology, and protecting constitutional rights while tackling the push in Harrisburg to restrict camera usage across the state.

4:20 pm: Utah Attorney General Derek Brown joins Greg to discuss his op-ed piece in the Deseret News about the increased sophistication of fraud schemes happening in the U.S., including in Utah, and the launch of a new intelligence center with an aim to target financial crimes.4:38 pm: Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd joins the program for a conversation about the city's use of license plate readers/cameras, like the controversial Flock cameras, and the benefits they provide to his department.6:05 pm: Popular conservative activist Scott Presler joins Greg for a conversation about the latest on the conservative fight as we enter midterm season.6:38 pm: Robert Bork, Jr., President of the Antitrust Education Project, joins Greg for a conversation about his piece in the Wall Street Journal on how the lawsuit settlement between Meta and several states over platforms designed to be addictive to children may end up making big tech even bigger as the new obligations require more power.

This summer, Fernando Alfonso, the Texas editor for The New York Times, got in a car with a man named Philip. They drove around the suburban streets of Dallas searching for traffic cameras — not for a red-light camera, or a speed-trap camera, but something new, an automatic license-plate reader made by a company called Flock. Law enforcement officials say these cameras are essential to fighting crime, but Phillip and people like him, who have located 100,000 flock cameras all over the country, see them as something else: the beginnings of a surveillance state. Today, Kashmir Hill, a technology and privacy writer at The New York Times, discusses the company behind the cameras and the mounting backlash.

Is that a person behind your DC at 3 a.m., or a raccoon? Cameras have trouble with that call at night. Sunil Mudholkar, VP of Product for Physical Security at Octave, joins me to talk about the camera as a sensor that feeds inventory and POS instead of sitting in a security silo, lidar on the loading dock, and why he thinks the video wall stops being the center of the room. Octave spun out of Hexagon and listed on the Nasdaq in May, but the physical security group inside it has been pulling data off cameras for 15 years. Oh, and by the way, I did return the favor for all the knowledge out of this one…..by providing a SPOT ON example of how all this works (yes, now you have to listen). For more information about Octave – check it out here.

The latest election year reversal on his own policies comes this time from Governor Abbott on Flock cameras - just as we learn that they were quietly funded by our own auto insurance premiums.

Judge John Judge said he would not ban cameras from Bryan Kohberger's courtroom proceedings, but he made clear that he intended to impose tighter controls over how they were used. Both the prosecution and defense had raised concerns about media coverage, with Kohberger's attorneys arguing that cameras repeatedly focused on him in ways that could prejudice potential jurors, while prosecutors also supported restrictions in certain circumstances. Judge said he was trying to balance the public's right to observe the proceedings with Kohberger's constitutional right to a fair trial, and he warned photographers and media organizations that the courtroom was not a place for spectacle. He specifically objected to cameras focusing excessively on Kohberger, capturing attorneys' notes or recording during times when the court was not officially on the record.The ruling reflected the broader tension that surrounded one of the country's most closely watched murder cases. Judge emphasized that he wanted the case tried in the courtroom rather than in the media, while also recognizing the enormous public interest in the prosecution. Instead of removing cameras entirely, he chose to retain greater control over where they were positioned and what they were permitted to record. That left media access intact for the time being, but under stricter judicial supervision and with a warning that continued misuse could result in further restrictions. The dispute over cameras became another major pretrial battle in the Kohberger case, alongside the gag order, discovery fights and arguments over how much information should reach the public before a jury was ever seated.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Flock license plate readers have spread rapidly throughout the country with little oversight, leading to widespread abuse of the surveillance cameras. Officers across the country have been using them to stalk ex’s and love interests. Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers on this week’s MiniPod about modern surveillance.
