Big Bad Iran may be tamed by the Peace Deal, but we're killing ourselves by suicidal empathy towards terrorists.Suicidal empathy, or sympathy for those who want to kill us, may seem like a virtuous quality, but it is really madness and will bring about our demise. This episode, hosted by Carole Lieberman, M.D., The Terrorist Therapist®, features examples of suicidal empathy from the U.S. to the U.K. and shows how we've been bullied into submission since 9/11 by others calling us Islamophobes.In Arizona, a school board member, had the gall to suggest that Islam would take over America. Though she accurately stated terrorists' intentions, the more ignorant of those in hercommunity are calling for her resignation. In North Carolina, the Muslim high school valedictorian tossed the speech that had been vetted by her school to go into a rant about Israel, America and ICE. In New Jersey, Hisham ‘Adam' Hamaway celebrated his Democrat primary victory by having Muslim supporters shout "Allahu Akbar!”In the U.K., Radical Islamist migrants have reached the tipping point, even influencing the Bank of England to drop Winston Churchill from banknotes. There is barbarism in Belfast, where these migrants, following the Quran, decapitate the Irish in broad daylight. No woman is safe, as men from Pakistan to Palestine claim it's legal under Sharia Law to rape young non-Muslim girls.  Yet when a noted authority in terrorism testified before Congress about the danger of Sharia Law seeping into America, only some of the Congressmen took the threat seriously enough. Others reflected the general tendency of Americans to remain in denial.

This week on Truth to Power, in this important mid-term election year, we bring you a conversation with U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn about his book "The First Eight: A Personal History of the Pioneering Black Congressmen Who Shaped a Nation," with Louisville's former Congressman John Yarmuth. Jim Clyburn is the U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993. He previously served as House Majority Whip from 2019 to 2022 and 2007 to 2010, making him the first African American to serve multiple terms as Majority Whip. Currently, he serves as the Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. The recipient of 39 honorary degrees, Congressman Clyburn's numerous awards include: the Lyndon Baines Johnson Liberty and Justice for All Award in 2015; the Harry S Truman Foundation's Good Neighbor Award in 2021; the NAACP's highest honor — the Spingarn Medal — in 2022, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — in 2024. His endorsement of Joe Biden for president in 2020 is credited with boosting him to an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina and subsequent primaries and setting Biden on the path to the presidency. Clyburn's book, The First Eight, is an extraordinary work of living history. It explores the powerful, untold story of the pioneering Black politicians from South Carolina who were elected to Congress in the aftermath of the Civil War, and a revealing explanation of why it took nearly a century before the ninth, James Clyburn, was elected. Learn more about the book at https://www.carmichaelsbookstore.com/book/9780316572743 John Yarmuth is a former United States Congressman who served eight terms as the representative of Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District (2007-2023) and was chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2019-2023. He was the primary sponsor of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Yarmuth became the first Kentuckian to join the Progressive Congressional Caucus. He has been recognized for his work to improve education and expand access to affordable health care. Prior to his congressional career, he founded and edited the Louisville Eccentric Observer (LEO), a weekly alternative newspaper. During his 15 years with LEO, Yarmuth won nearly 20 awards for column and editorial writing. This conversation was held before a live audience at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville on November 24, 2025. It was produced by the UofL Kentucky Author Forum and was released in January as the fifty-ninth episode of Great Podversations (https://kentuckyauthorforum.com/podcast/great-podversations-episode-59-clyburn-yarmuth/). Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org

It's Wednesday, April 29th, 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 and Timothy Reed Egyptian Christian YouTuber faces 5 years hard labor A Christian YouTuber in Egypt is facing five years of imprisonment and hard labor simply for sharing his faith online. Augustinos Samaan regularly posts Christian videos to his channel which has over 100,000 subscribers. Officials charged him under the country's blasphemy provision. The law criminalizes speech that is deemed offensive to Islam.  Samaan appealed his sentence last week with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom International. Since August last year, authorities in Egypt have arrested dozens of people for online religious content.  In Matthew 10:32, Jesus said, “Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven.” Global military spending up Global military spending reached a record $2.9 trillion dollars last year. That's according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Military spending rose 14 percent in Europe and eight percent in Asia and Oceania. Meanwhile, the United States spent 7.5 percent less on military expenditures. The U.S. remains one of the top three military spenders along with China and Russia.  Experts note that many U.S. allies are spending more on their militaries following pressure from the Trump administration.  Former FBI Director James Comey indicted over photo that threatened Trump On April 28th, the Justice Department secured an indictment charging former FBI Director James Comey with threatening the life of President Donald Trump by posting a photo of sea shells on Instagram that featured the numbers “86-47”, reports NBC News. The two-count indictment alleges that a reasonable person would interpret the image of the shells, arranged to spell out “86 47,” as “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States."  "Eighty-six" is a term used to mean "cancel" or "get rid of." And, of course, “47” refers to the 47th president of the United States. While Comey deleted the post, saying it never occurred to him that it would be interpreted as being violent. In a subsequent Instagram post last May, Comey said that he assumed the shells he saw on a beach walk were "a political message" and comically claimed that he "didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," adding that he opposed violence "of any kind." Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. Attorney General, spoke at a press conference yesterday. BLANCHE: “The defendant, James Comey, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce, a communication that contained a threat to kill the president of the United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.” War Department will no longer require flu shot War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the military will no longer require the flu shot.  Listen to Hegseth's comment on the change of policy. HEGSETH: “We're seizing this moment to discard any absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities. In this case, this includes the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it. The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member, everywhere, in every circumstance, at all times, is just overly broad and not rational. “Our new policy is simple. If you, an American warrior, entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it. You should. But we will not force you, because your body, your faith, and your convictions are not negotiable.”  Proposed bill: No pension for Congressmen convicted of sex crimes Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a bill that would strip the federal pensions of Congress members who are convicted of a sex crime.  Hawley's bill, the “No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act,” comes on the heels of two high profile Congressional resignations over sexual allegations including Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Tony Gonzales of Texas. Speaking on FOX News, Hawley referred to Swalwell as a driving reason behind his legislation. HAWLEY: “This is why Congress needs to pass legislation. I'm introducing it today that would deny pensions to every member of Congress who is convicted of a sex offense. Right now, you could be convicted and still get your pension. The only thing the government ought to be paying for for people like Eric Swalwell is a jail cell.” Two Louisiana bills threaten pro-life work A pair of Louisiana bills are threatening pro-life work in the state.  One bill, the Pregnancy Help Center Healthcare Licensing Act, seeks to require pregnancy centers to become licensed, a bill that may force these centers to have doctors or nurses, on site, at all times.  A second bill could restrict the freedom of religion for pregnancy centers.  Erica Inzina of Louisiana Right to Life is concerned about the bill. She said, “Some of the language and the tactics that we're seeing are the same types of tactics that have been used in other ways to villainize pregnancy centers elsewhere in the country.” Church attendance rising And finally, church attendance is rising for the first time in decades, according to a new report from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. The median in-person weekly attendance at a house of worship is now 70 adults. That's down from 137 adults in 2000. However, it's significantly up from 45 adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.   The study noted, “For the first time in decades, more congregations are stabilizing or growing rather than shrinking.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, April 29th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Two Congressmen resigned last week, namely Tony Gonzales from TX and Swalwell from CA.Two more are on the hot seat, specifically Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick—25 ethics violations.Cory Mills…Democrats mounted a serious attack on this guy. Anyway, we will potentially look at more Congressional scoundrels today, as even more dirt was dished.Let me start with something that fascinates me… this endless parade of “experts” on the Left. They've got experts for everything. Climate. Gender. Economics. War. Feelings. Pre-feelings. Post-feelings. If there's a topic, there's a cardigan-wearing Leftists philosopher somewhere explaining it incorrectly.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse, harassment, and self harm. This pod begins with a review of the fallout after America's current President posted an image of himself as Jesus and then talked smack to the Pope. How is this real life? No one can be sure, but the Electoral College was involved. Then, as ceasefire negotiations with Iran failed, two U.S. Congressmen ended their careers after allegations of sexual misconduct, coverage of which unwittingly revealed the Congressional workplace culture that enabled it. We delve into the disturbing details that caused both Rep. Tony Gonzales and Rep. Eric Swalwell to retire and resign, respectively. From there, we look into a million dollar misinformation campaign bombarding mailboxes in the state of Virginia with the goal of confusing residents into voting 'no' on a redistricting effort to balance out Trump-led gerrymandering in other states. Quick guide: Virginians who don't support this administration should vote 'yes'. Lastly, Pam Bondi's firing, Peter Hegseth firing more military leaders, and what Bryon Noem's giant boobs/bimboification fetish reveals about how the far-right sees women.
