It's Monday, September 28th, 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 Muslims killed Nigerian pastor, wounded his son, and killed 12 others Armed Muslims killed a pastor and a believer on their way to worship God on Sunday morning in Plateau State, Nigeria, reports International Christian Concern. The pastor's son is in critical condition.  This was not an isolated attack. Just hours earlier, five laborers in the region were shot on their way to work. Gunmen also terrorized several surrounding communities, ultimately killing 13 people.  These murders reflect the heightened outbreaks against Christians and Christian-majority areas in the country.  According to TruthNigeria, this past week, 41 people were reportedly killed, and at least 100 were kidnapped. In Revelation 6:9-10, it says, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, [John the disciple] saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?'” Argentinian President: The United Nations is “useless” In a gutsy appearance before the United Nations, Argentinian President Javier Milei said, "[The United Nations] has become a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats.” Incoming Democrat Rep. arrested in anti-Israel protest Dozens of New York Democratic politicians, including incoming Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Darializa Chevalier, were among those arrested on September 24th for ignoring police orders during an anti-Israel protest of 250 people, reports The Western Journal. Chevalier is a socialist ally of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who is expected to be in Congress come January. She was protesting the speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General Assembly whom she called a “war criminal.” She said, “As the Democratic nominee for New York's 13th Congressional District, I refuse to allow a war criminal to roam the streets of our city unchallenged. I refuse to play host to a man who has overseen the slaughter or injury of more than 64,000 children in Gaza with American taxpayer dollars.” While Chevalier has not yet won the election, a very deep blue New York 13th District practically guarantees a victory. The politician arrested for disrespecting the rule of law has previously tweeted about abolishing police, prisons, and borders, and has explicitly called for the government to seize private property.  In one now deleted September 2021 post, Chevalier wrote, “A world without borders—just like a world without prisons or police—is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.” Media commentator: We are not spin doctors for Democrats Appearing on PBS' NewsHour, David Brooks of The Atlantic surprised his leftist media colleagues by asserting that too many in the mainstream media have become too cozy with Democrat politicians from whom they should distance themselves. Listen. BROOKS: “Starting in 2015, we, in the mainstream media, learned that, if you bash Donald Trump, the clicks go up, the ratings go up. It became the business model. We play it straight. We do our job, but it's become the business model. “We get to go to dinners, sometimes off-the-record dinners, between journalists, columnists, and politicians. It used to be, when you were at a dinner, an off-the-record dinner with the Democratic politician, there was distance between the journalists and the Democrats, because they're politicians. Our job is to keep some distance. “In my view, at many places and in many of the dinners I have been to, there's no distance anymore. And that is a problem for the media. And that is our problem. We have got to re-establish some distance from the Democratic Party. “These are people we cover. They're not people we root for. They're not people we're spin doctors for. They're people we cover.” (You can see those comments at the 7:05 mark in this video) Supreme Court allows Trump to verify only U.S. citizens vote In a 6-3 decision on September 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume its expanded voter citizenship verification program, which lets states use Social Security records to check voters' citizenship to ensure that noncitizens do not illegally vote in the upcoming November 3rd election, reports CBS News. That decision paused a lower court order by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in June that claimed that the voter verification system somehow violated federal privacy laws. Not surprisingly, Judge Sooknanan was a Biden appointee. Leftist Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Jackson dissented. New Jersey Lt. Gov. resigned over sexual harassment complaint On September 25th, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that Democratic Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell resigned from his position amid allegations in an ethics report that claimed he violated state sexual harassment policies, reports The Epoch Times. A 61-page report, conducted by a law firm commissioned by the governor's office, found that Caldwell made an advance toward a female staffer's friend and allegedly made a crude remark to the staffer. The staffer also attempted “to distance herself from him and to avoid travel with him when possible.” Kind gesture of pizza delivery driver richly rewarded And finally, when a Domino's store in Boise, Idaho ran out of Diet Coke, the 68-year-old delivery driver, Dan Simpson, took it upon himself this past March to make a special trip to a nearby grocery store and personally pay for a 2-liter soda for the customer to accompany the pepperoni pizza, reports The New York Post. When the surprised customer heard about what happened, he offered to reimburse Dan.  Simpson refused, saying that they had tipped him well and he just wanted to make sure that their order was right. Listen to that encounter captured on the customer's Ring camera. SIMPSON: “We were out of Diet Cokes.” WILSON: “Okay.” SIMPSON:  “I stopped at the store, though.” WILSON: “Oh, you did not have to do that.” SIMPSON:  “That's okay.” WILSON: “Did you really?” SIMPSON: “Yeah, that's all right.” Brian Wilson, the man who placed the order, explained to Channel 2 News, why Dan's act of kindness meant so much to him and his wife. WILSON: “Our situation is unique in the fact that my wife and I are both visually impaired. We share the same retinal disease. Hers is more progressed than mine. “So, she doesn't unfortunately drive at all. I do still have daytime ability to drive, but at night, when you got those Diet Coke cravings, you can't just run up to the store, right? It's not as easy for us as it would be for someone else who is sighted completely.” Galatians 5:22 lists the fruit of the Spirit to include “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” According to the now viral video captured by the Ring camera, and seen by millions of people, the couple, who were dazzled by Simpson's helpfulness, created a social media donation page which raised enough money to help the pizza delivery man to retire. SIMPSON: “I checked my bank account, and there was $163,000. What a retirement gift that was!” Simpson was especially grateful because he had been juggling a full-time job in addition to delivering pizza at night for the past 13 years. In an interview with KTVB-TV, Simpson shared that he had previously abused alcohol, but had learned his lesson. SIMPSON: “I got in a lot of trouble with drinking and drugs, and I've been clean and sober now for well, this September, I think will be 24 years. I did go to prison twice for DUIs, and when I got out, I said, ‘That's it!' I knew I'd never drink again. I was just finally done. Ever since I stepped out of prison, I've basically worked two jobs and worked hard and tried to do the right thing.” Remarkably, he plans to continue to deliver pizza on the weekends, so he doesn't get bored in retirement.

Alex Scheel is a combat veteran, organizer, Democratic Socialist, and candidate for Congress in Washington's 10th Congressional District.Alex was a late addition to this episode, and I'm glad we had the opportunity to talk.In this conversation, Alex shares how his experiences serving in Army intelligence and deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan changed the way he understood war. He talks about one experience in particular, sitting across from a young Iraqi man and hearing how the war had affected his family and his life. Alex says those experiences eventually helped lead him from soldier to anti-war activist. We also talk about his work with the Democratic Socialists of America, organizing around housing and workers' rights, and what democratic socialism actually means to him. Alex doesn't shy away from some of the bigger issues either. We get into Medicare for All, housing affordability, U.S. military spending, Israel and Gaza, and why ending U.S. involvement in overseas wars is such a major part of his campaign. The conversation also gets personal. We talk about mental health, loss, and why politics ultimately affects real people and real families. Alex shares the loss of his sister to an overdose and his best friend to suicide, and why those experiences matter to him. I'm looking forward to learning more about Alex's journey, especially how he went from serving in the military to becoming an organizer and activist.This conversation is not an endorsement of Alex Scheel or his campaign.

U.S. President Donald Trump made clear during candid talks at the White House with Chinese President Xi Jinping that Chinese help for Iran is unacceptable, U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue said on Friday."We made it very clear to them weeks ago that, you know, any help that they would give Iran, whether it be direct or indirect, whether it be intelligence or parts or military equipment, was totally unacceptable. President Trump made that very clear again yesterday. This is an ongoing drumbeat," Perdue said in an interview with CNBC.Actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder and two Democratic politicians were among 30 people arrested on Thursday as they protested outside the U.N. headquarters in New York, before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to the General Assembly.Darializa Avila Chevalier—who was endorsed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani when she won the Democratic primary for the 13th Congressional District in June—was also arrested, along with New York City Council member Chi Ossé.

Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation and Democratic candidate for Arizona's 2nd Congressional District, joins me to make his case for replacing Congressman Eli Crane in Washington. We discuss the issues facing Northern and rural Arizona, including the rising cost of living, water, healthcare, infrastructure and the role of the federal government in our communities. Nez also talks about his experience leading the Navajo Nation, working across party lines and why he believes CD2 voters should make a change in November. It's a wide-ranging conversation with one of the two major-party candidates asking voters to represent Arizona's sprawling 2nd Congressional District in Congress.

Mary and Andrew begin by addressing President Trump banning CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from White House grounds. Andrew calls the move “blatantly unconstitutional,” making an allusion to Nazi Germany and noting that the control of the free press is “the tool of autocrats”: “‘You will believe what I tell you and you will see only what I want you to see,'” he summarizes. Then, the co-hosts move to Trump's “vanity projects,” beginning with what they call the “Arc de Trumph” — a proposed 250-foot arch in Washington DC that Trump says will serve as a military complex. Then, more on the Kennedy Center drama: a federal judge has blocked Trump's name from being added to the building, after which Trump stated that the building will stay closed and without necessary renovations until that decision is reversed. Plus, several organizations file two lawsuits aimed at preemptively keeping federal agents from polling locations.

WELL NOW YOU KNOW WITH CHAD BOWAR AT 2:30 Because there’s always something you could learn. ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE NEWS BAN I said yesterday I think it’s moronic that Trump banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House press pool. I stand by that. But now we’re being reminded of when this happened before. Not in the first Trump White House, but in the OBAMA administration. Obama tried to exclude Fox News from certain interviews and the other networks did the same thing they are doing now, they banded together to demand Fox be included.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republicans want to define the 2026 midterm elections by contrasting their own party with the growing number of far-left Democrats and socialists.Rep. Riley Moore, a first-term Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, told the Daily Signal that will be key to mobilizing GOP turnout and keeping control of the House. Moore joined the “Midterm Report” to share his outlook with less than seven weeks until Election Day."You have communists and Islamists running up and down the ballot here in the United States," he said. "They want to pack the Supreme Court. Obviously, they don't believe in this country as a republic. They don't believe in our foundational documents."Moore, who represents West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, won his 2024 election with more than 70% of the vote. He said the stakes extend well beyond his own reliably Republican state.Also on the program, Rob Bluey is joined by fellow Daily Signal colleagues Bradley Devlin, Senior Politics Editor, and Virginia Grace McKinnon, Congressional Reporter, to debrief the first ever Midterm Republican National Convention, and more on today's edition of “The Midterm Report.” NEW FILM, The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy The West, presented by The Heritage Foundation, OUT NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0rwaEs5jA  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerrad Christian, the Democratic nominee in Ohio's 12th Congressional District, returns to Purple Political Breakdown: Ohio Edition for a general election follow-up as he challenges Republican Rep. Troy Balderson this November. Jerrad won the May primary and now faces a district he describes as running from some of Ohio's wealthiest suburbs to some of its poorest Appalachian counties. We cover where his platform stands, how it contrasts with Balderson, and the Ohio issues driving the 2026 midterms. Jerrad lays out his case for Medicare for All and a single payer system, and we steel-man the most common objections: government control, a public option as the middle path, and the tax increase needed to pay for it. He contrasts that with Balderson's push to modernize FDA rules for wearable health technology, which Balderson describes as a streamlined pathway with safety guardrails and Jerrad argues does nothing for families who cannot afford coverage. From there we get into data centers in Licking County and across Ohio, including heat, water, power bills, and local residents petitioning and going to court over where they get built, plus Flock license plate cameras and the Fourth Amendment. We discuss the end of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian residents in Springfield, the death of 20-year-old Pierre Damas Bel after he was fitted with an ICE ankle monitor, and Gov. Mike DeWine's response. We also talk about the armed man who charged toward Dr. Amy Acton at the Canfield Fair and the rise of political violence. On elections, Jerrad explains his view of redistricting and gerrymandering and why he calls Issue 3, Ohio's voter ID constitutional amendment on the November 3 ballot, a waste of time. Issue 3 would move Ohio's existing photo ID requirement for in-person voting from state law into the state constitution. We also cover Congress ceding power to the executive branch, the EPA's repeal of carbon standards for coal and gas power plants, Ohio property taxes and school funding, and the war with Iran. We close with a quickfire round on structural reform: Supreme Court reform, term limits, the Senate filibuster, uncapping the House, Citizens United and super PAC money in the Ohio governor's race, presidential immunity, congressional stock trading, and the pardon system.

Starting later this month, over 8 million New York households can expect to receive an energy rebate check worth up to $200 — courtesy of Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature. But the governor's critics are questioning why the checks are arriving so close to Election Day. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Dan Rivoli and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan weigh in on Hochul's initiative and the high cost of energy in New York. After that, with the midterm elections just months away, New York's 17th Congressional District in the Hudson Valley is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched races in the nation, as incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Lawler faces Democratic challenger Cait Conley. And on Long Island, two congressional races could be tightening. The "Off Topic" team examines these regional races that could help determine which party controls the House next year.

This week on bigcitysmalltown, we examine the newly redrawn Congressional District 35 and its implications for San Antonio, Bexar County, and surrounding rural communities.

The mail-in ballot saga has come to an end — for now. Mary and Andrew detail yesterday's Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting, which they call “good news” in the fight against election interference. “Knock it off,” Andrew says to paraphrase the Supreme Court: “we are not engaging in this.” Then, the co-hosts delve into two more examples of what they consider attempts by government bodies to meddle in the midterms, the first being Missouri's failed redistricting effort as the Supreme Court rejects the state's new Trump-backed congressional district map. The second: the Solicitor General's emergency motion to stay an injunction on the Trump administration's SAVE database, urging the court to restore the immigration verification system that was blocked by a lower court. Plus, the prosecutor who led the “grand conspiracy” investigation into Trump's political enemies earlier this year has left the probe. And former CIA Director John Brennan preemptively goes to court ahead of the government's likely prosecution against him.
