The past week featured the signing of the Continuing Resolution into law, ending the longest partial government shutdown in history. The president has also proposed a change to the way Obamacare subsidies are paid going forward. Rather than subsidizing ACA plans on the exchange, sending money directly to health insurance companies, President Trump is proposing the money be provided through Health Savings accounts that would be able to be used for the health care needs of the recipients to pursue their choice of healthcare options. President Trump also announced new trade deals with El Salvador, Argentia, Ecuador and Guatemala and what was billed as a historic trade deal with Switzerland that will grant U.S. companies unprecedented access to sell into the country's markets.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump abruptly ended his press conference on the Continuing Resolution being signed into law over questions about the Epstein emails that were released.Then, on the rest of the menu, a former speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives was charged with felony theft in connection with a missing thirteen hundred year old piece of historic cypress that had been on display at the State Capitol; Trump did not move the thirteen hundred pound Resolute Desk to Mar a Lago, but he does have a lightweight replica on display there; and, an obscure new Montana law lead to the trashing of tens of thousands of votes.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where UK economic growth slowed to a near standstill after a cyberattack halted production at the country's biggest automaker; and, the G7 diplomats publicly showed support for Ukraine but avoided contentious issues like US extrajudicial killings on the high seas and the Trump trade war.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue their own inclinations in all reasonable and, unreasonable ways.” -- The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 0:30 We dive into the 40-day government shutdown, the sudden awakening of Dick Durbin’s conscience, and John Fetterman’s surprising revelation about Obamacare subsidies. We unpack how Democrats engineered temporary COVID-era subsidies, then blamed Republicans for letting them expire—and used that as leverage to keep the government closed. From the hypocrisy of “fighting for the little guy” to the gaslighting over who actually wrote the law, we're breaking down the tangled politics behind the Schumer shutdown. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government's Continuing Resolution to fund the government passed the Senate last night after more than 40 days of lockdown. A Judge in Utah has thrown out a Republican drawn congressional map, and substituted one drawn by Democrats and special interest groups. A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and former governor Andrew Cuomo is on trail for being a spy for the Chinese Communist Party. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 What happened to civil disagreement? We confront the alarming normalization of political violence in America—especially on the far left. From Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson’s shocking comments about fantasizing over harming the president to the media’s casual acceptance of such rhetoric, we're unpacking how moral decay and intellectual failure have made violence a substitute for debate. 15:30 Would you rather marry young, have children, and build a family with someone who isn’t quite your soulmate—or wait for your true love and miss the window to have kids? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into this listener question that hits at the core of love, family, and faith. The Mamas unpack the emotional, biblical, and practical sides of marriage—from marrying your soulmate to growing into one. They share personal stories, wisdom from friends, and surprising insights into how men and women often answer this question very differently. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 President Reagan once warned that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On this Veterans Day, that truth rings louder than ever. We honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and given their “last full measure of devotion” to preserve America’s liberty. 24:30 The Washington Post just ranked every county in America to find “the best place to raise a family.” Their conclusion? Virginia is the best—and Louisiana is the worst. But when you dig into their methodology, the logic starts to fall apart. In this episode, the hosts break down the Post’s ranking system—what it values, what it ignores, and what it says about the media’s worldview. From weighting abortion access and gender policies above faith, family, and two-parent homes, to dismissing states that still celebrate traditional values, this list reveals more about politics than parenting. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Plus, we give Stephen's dad Colonel Thomas J. Parr a call. He reflects on what service, sacrifice, and freedom really mean. A decorated Vietnam veteran with three Bronze Stars (one for valor), a West Point graduate, and a surgeon who answered the call again during Desert Storm, Dr. Parr shares powerful, candid memories — from firefights and helicopter “unplanned landings” to moments of faith and perseverance. 39:30 After our conversation with Col. Thomas J. Parr, we reflect on a lesson that extends far beyond military service — the power of attitude. When life feels like it’s spinning out of control — when jobs are lost, marriages strain, or the world just seems turbulent — there’s still one thing you can choose: how you respond. 41:30 And we finish off with Presidents who served in the military.

Ryan Wrecker talks with Ryan Schmelz about the ongoing government shutdown, the chances of reopening, and the need for a new Continuing Resolution. They cover the battle over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, with Democrats pushing for renewed tax credits and Republicans seeking conditions in exchange for support. The conversation highlights stalled negotiations, frustration among federal workers facing financial strain, and the lack of urgency in Congress to reach a deal. Both parties face criticism as the political impasse continues with no clear compromise in sight.
The show begins with Spirit Airlines ending service at Lambert Airport and concerns over low voter turnout in local elections. Breaking news hits with the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney at 84. Hour 2 features Ryan Schmelz on the government shutdown, the push for a new Continuing Resolution, and the battle over ACA subsidies, followed by Niles Stephens urging voters to say no on Prop S due to rising school spending and taxpayer burden. Hour 3 includes Todd Piro on media professionalism, reacting to Cheney's passing, and how newsrooms handle breaking stories, followed by 2A Tuesday with Mark Walters on media misuse of gun terminology, Glock related issues, and California firearm restrictions. Election Day coverage follows with reports from Missouri, New Jersey, and Virginia, including turnout issues, police presence at polling sites, and ideas to boost participation. Hour 4 features Jonathan Savage on President Trump's warning to Nigeria and possible US military action, Ryan Wiggins on SNAP spending and federal budget breakdowns with election predictions, and the show wraps with Cole highlighting New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's policy positions.
There are rumblings, but so far, they're just that: rumblings. The Democrats want to spend a lot more money, and they're willing to...spend less money in the meantime...to get it? Sen. Jim Talent and Rep. Jason Smith in this hour.
(The Center Square) – Millions of Americans reliant on food stamps will not receive benefits for the month of November, due to the ongoing government shutdown. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will not issue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits until the government reopens, with the agency saying on its website that “the well has run dry.” Federal agencies like the USDA have remained unfunded since Oct. 1, when the government shuttered after Senate Democrats blocked Republicans' Continuing Resolution, a seven-week funding stopgap. Since then, all but three Democratic senators have continuously filibustered the House-passed CR, demanding that Republicans promise to renew a costly pandemic-era expansion of Obamacare Premium Tax Credits.

The show begins today with the excellent details of the significant accomplishments of President Trump on his swing to Southeast Asia. He met with leaders in Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and China. Several new agreements were signed with world leaders.Yes, the Schumer Shutdown remains a reality. The Senate voted for the 13th time NOT to accept the Continuing Resolution from the House of Representatives. Today, we discuss how this is impacting everyday Americans, government employees, and military members. They ALL are owed paychecks. They ALL "need" those paychecks!Among other topics, we went into detail about the controversy keeping Democrats from opening the government -- ObamaCare -- and we detail -- with "facts" -- why ObamaCare doesn't work and how it never would work in the form it was crafted.
It's Monday, October 27th, A.D. 2025. 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 U.S. Christian missionary pilot kidnapped in Niger at gunpoint Prayers are now going up to Heaven around the world for American missionary pilot Kevin Rideout after he was reportedly kidnapped from his home in the highly secure Château 1 neighborhood of Niamey, the capital of Niger in West Africa, reports The Christian Post. Rideout, a 48-year-old married father, works with Serving In Mission. Radio France Internationale reported last Wednesday that Rideout was kidnapped by three men at gunpoint near the grand Bravia Hotel, in the city center, just a few hundred meters from the presidential palace. A U.S. State Department spokesman told CBS News, "It is a top priority for the Trump administration to look after the safety of every American, and we are seeing efforts from across the U.S. government to support the recovery and safe return of this U.S. citizen.” The U.S. Embassy in Niamey also issued a security alert on Wednesday, warning Americans that they face a "heightened risk of kidnapping" throughout the country, which has been in political turmoil since a coup d'etat on July 26, 2023. There has been no known demand from any kidnappers nor any official response from the Nigerien government. Security officials said the kidnapped American's phone was tracked less than an hour after the abduction late Tuesday night to a location about 56 miles north of Niamey — in an area "considered a sanctuary for groups affiliated with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara" between the Nigerian capital and the Malian border. Please pray Psalm 121:7 for missionary pilot Kevin Rideout. “The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life.” Mike Johnson: Democrats want waste and abuse back in Medicaid The U.S. government has been shut down now for 27 days. Appearing on ABC, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, explained what the Democrats in the U.S. Senate are trying to do instead of voting for the clean Continuing Resolution to re-open the government. JOHNSON: “What it does is it unwinds the changes that Republicans put into the Big, Beautiful Bill, the big signature legislation that we passed and signed into law on July 4 that has been very successful in shoring up Medicaid for the people who are actually eligible to receive it. “What we did in the bill, and the CBO just verified this three weeks ago, the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan arbiters of everything up here, they said that those provisions have helped to reduce premiums. “Why? Because we got ineligible recipients off of Medicaid, illegal aliens and able bodied young men who are riding the wagon, who are not eligible to be there. Medicaid is intended for specific populations of U.S. citizens -- that is young, pregnant women who are down on their luck, the disabled and the elderly. “Those resources are being drained from those folks, and so we fixed that. We reduced fraud, waste, and abuse in the program. Chuck Schumer's counter proposal on the [Continuing Resolution] would reverse that. That is a simple fact.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson polling higher than Kamala for president Former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost in a landslide against President Donald Trump last November, chatted with BBC interviewer Laura Kuenssberg about her book 107 Days. Kamala said she might possibly run for president in 2028 despite the fact that she is a certifiable long shot. KUENSSBERG: “In terms then, of what is next for you, you write very powerfully about the differences that many women have made to your life, the experience of growing up with your extraordinary mother, or the stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leela. When are they going to see a woman in charge in the White House?" HARRIS: “In their lifetime, for sure.” KUENSSBERG: “Could it be you?" HARRIS: "Possibly." KUENSSBERG: "Have you made a decision yet?” HARRIS: “No, I have not.” KUENSSBERG: “But you say in your book, ‘I'm not done.'” HARRIS: “That is correct. I am not done. I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it's in my bones. There are many ways to serve. I've not decided yet what I will do in the future, beyond what I'm doing right now.” KUENSSBERG: “But you've been very clear that it is a possibility you might run again to become president. And, in my experience, interviewing politicians, when someone says, ‘I'm not done,' it means they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look at the bookies odds, they put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Is that underestimating you?” HARRIS: “I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to polls. If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the WWE wrestler turned actor, has starred in 30 films which have earned $6.2 billion. He also has 391 million followers on Instagram. According to Polymarket, an online betting website where users can place "yes" or "no" bets on the likelihood of world events, “The Rock” has a 5.6% chance of becoming the Democratic presidential nominee compared to Kamala Harris who has a 5% chance, reports Newsweek. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Alexendria Ocasio-Cortez are the top two at 32% and 11% respectively. Dallas church paints steps homosexual pride colors And finally, after Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened to withhold funding from cities and counties with pro-homosexual, pro-transgender rainbow crosswalks, one God-hating Texas church has responded by defiantly painting its own steps with the sodomite colors, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Lesbian Pastor Rachel Allison, of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, explained why she disagreed with Abbott. She said, "Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor. Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity and belonging." They certainly were not affirming the original Biblical meaning of the rainbow. In Genesis 9:13-15, God said, “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the Earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Not surprisingly, Pastor Rachel Allison is faux married to a woman named Cheryl. Governor Abbott's threat includes San Antonio's sexual perversion district on North Main Avenue and East Evergreen Street. Now, more than six years after its installation, local perverts are urging San Antonio city officials to fight to keep the public art installations despite Abbott's directive. The Lone Star State Governor said, “Texans expect their taxpayer dollars to be used wisely, not advance political agendas on Texas roadways. To keep Texans moving safely and free from distraction, we must maintain a safe and consistent transportation network across Texas.” The directive comes after Trump-appointed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a statement urging state governors to join a national roadway safety initiative to nix artwork and political messaging from the streets. In a post to X, Duffy wrote, "Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets, not rainbow crosswalks." Write a polite, Biblically-based 2-3 sentence letter of objection to Pastor Rachel Allison, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, 3014 Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219.

It's Day 27 of the government shutdown, and the largest government workers union in the country thinks the Democrats should work with the GOP to pass a clean Continuing Resolution — no word yet from Chuck Schumer … President Trump imposes toughest sanctions yet on Russia'a two biggest oil companies, while the EU, in a coordinated move, prepares a massive loan to Ukraine — using seized Russian assets as collateral … all this and more.
It's Friday, October 24th, A.D. 2025. 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 Spanish priest acquitted on hate crime charges for criticizing radical Islam A Spanish Catholic priest who was facing three years in prison for making critical remarks about radical Islam nearly a decade ago has been acquitted, reports The Christian Post. The advocacy organization Abogados Cristianos announced in an X post last Friday that “The Malaga Court [acquitted] Pastor Custodio [Ballester], prosecuted for criticizing Islam: there is no hate crime.” In 2016, Ballester was charged with saying, “Islam does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another.” The Rev. Franklin Graham praised Ballester's acquittal as “good news” in an X post on Monday. A report published last month by the Spanish Observatory for Religious Freedom and Conscience found that 69% of the attacks were directed at Christians, while instances of antisemitism grew by 38% compared to 2023 and had increased by 867% since 2022. Senator Schumer's shutdown flip flop, afraid of an AOC challenge Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, has historically opposed government shutdowns. He opposed a shutdown on October 16, 2013. SCHUMER: “What if I persuaded my caucus to say I'm going to shut the government down. I'm going to not pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis.” Then, Senator Schumer opposed a government shutdown on January 25, 2019. SCHUMER: “Shutting down government over a policy difference is self-defeating. We can never hold American workers hostage again.” And, as recently as March 13th of this year, Senator Schumer opposed a government shutdown then. SCHUMER: “While the [Continuing Resolution] bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.” But now, Democratic Senator Schumer is leading the fight for the government shutdown, driven by the AOC/Sanders wing of his party. Listen to CNN's John Berman's introduction of his recent appearance. BERMAN: “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who joins us now from Capitol Hill. Senator, I was saying that every Republican who's gone on TV the last, what nine hours or so, has called this the ‘Schumer Shutdown.” Later, Berman said this. BERMAN: “Everyone in Congress right now, on the Republican side, is really pointing the finger squarely at you personally. And one of the things they're saying is, this is about politics in New York, that you might face a primary from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” In fact, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said as much. KENNEDY: “Senator Schumer, his relationship with the truth is very casual. The truth is that this is a political shutdown. Senator Schumer is nervous as a pregnant nun about losing his re-election to the socialist wing of his party led by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, which is in control. “Now, we will eventually come out of this shutdown. Here's how I think it will happen. Senator Schumer is a smart man. He's been around a long time. His first car was a chariot. Washington is all he's ever known his entire life. He knows he's on shaky ground here in terms of policy. “So, here's how I think it'll end. Schumer will go to six or eight of his colleagues, Democrats of course, and say, ‘I want you to vote to lift the shutdown.' He'll say, ‘I can't vote with you. I've got to appear to be tough. I may even have to criticize you, but' -- wink wink, nod nod – ‘I'm trying to make the loon wing of the party love me, but you bail me out here.' But he's got to be careful with that, because he doesn't want it to look like a mutiny, because then he looks even weaker.” CA teacher to ICE: “They are not the only ones with guns in this city.” The Department of Homeland Security will refer a California teacher for a possible criminal probe after he made threatening comments toward immigration officials, reports WorldNetDaily.com. Listen to Los Angeles Unified School District history teacher Ron Gochez. GOCHEZ: “Don't forget where you're standing. This is South Central Los Angeles. They are not the only ones with guns in this city. They're not the only ones that don't forget that. And I don't say that because we're calling it for violence. I'm saying that because the people have every right to defend themselves against masked, unidentified gunmen with AR-15s and other military rifles.” Gochez founded the Los Angeles chapter of Union del Barrio—a revolutionary socialist movement that demands an end to capitalism and open borders from Alaska to Chile. The group sees communist dictators like Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Che Guevara as heroes. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that the teacher's comments endanger ICE agents' lives. New Bible story book injects sexual perversion, gender confusion, and woke ideology And finally, a new children's book of Bible stories claims that the Bible has "made-up" stories and events in its pages, drawing criticism from Focus on the Family, reports The Christian Post. The Just Love Story Bible, authored by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Harris, reimagines 52 stories from the Old and New Testaments, weaving in sexual perversion, gender confusion, and woke ideology. For them, the Bible is not authoritative; they are. In the book's introduction to Genesis, the woke authors, who are part of the leftist Presbyterian Church (USA), write, "Some of the stories had made-up characters and events. Others were about real people and things that really happened." Harris, an associate dean at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City, explained her motivation behind the project at a Q&A event for the book in September. HARRIS: “I wanted to do this project with Jackie, because when my kids were little, it was really hard to find a children's Bible that I didn't feel like I had to change some of the words. Like there might be stories that talked about God, like God was a boy (laughing) and only used kind of male language for God. Or they might tell a story, but they wouldn't tell enough about the story to understand whether it was about a made-up character or a real person.” Later, to the audience of parents and young children, she read an excerpt from her woke Just Love Story Bible in which she reinterpreted the plagues and other punishments that God had sent to get Pharoah's attention or the attention of His chosen people, the Jews. HARRIS: “Four natural disasters, one after the other. Well, the prophet and the people thought they were to blame. They thought that the disasters were God's way of punishing them. They didn't know that when bad things happen, like swarms of bugs, floods, earthquakes or tornadoes, it's not God's punishment, but it's easy to worry when bad things happen, to feel like God's angry at you, even when that's not true.” Inspired by the Joel 2:28 passage, Harris also imagined what a young person might envision. HARRIS: “So what did the young people prophesy back then? Perhaps one of them bravely announced to the prophets, priests and people: ‘I don't believe that our loving God sends terrible things to teach us a lesson.'” In an op-ed published by Focus on the Family's news arm, Daily Citizen, Paul Batura warned families about The Just Love Story Bible. He said, "[T]he motives of the authors appear broader and far more dangerous than merely trumpeting diversity. They also want to sow seeds of doubt in children's minds that the events depicted in the Bible are literally true, including the Resurrection.” He added, "Questioning the accuracy and authority of the Bible is hardly a new exercise, but so blatantly and openly selling such a heretical interpretation of God's Word to children undermines God's sacred Word in a particularly dangerous and destructive way." Indeed, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says, “For a time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

The war continues! Democrat Senators refuse to agree to the Continuing Resolution (that they demanded from the GOP and got from Republicans) to open the government immediately. SNAP payments for the most innocent and needy in our country will NOT happen next week if Senators don't accept the spending plan they demanded! Sen. Corry Booker (D-NJ) ignored facts and publicly demanded that the GOP give Dems the $1.5 trillion they want to use for anything they desire to spend it on!We wade into the shocking story of massive gambling fraud perpetrated by mob families in New York and players and coaches in the NBA! The actions taken that were discovered by the FBI include cheating in casino games, betting on NBA ball games and others.Leftist media pundits are foaming at the mouth about Trump's renovation at the White House to build a ballroom that costs at least $200 million. Though White House renovations have occurred dozens of times under numerous previous presidents, the Media have used the upgrades in this administration to blame Trump for wasting time and money -- even though outside parties, including the President himself, are paying the entire cost!
The government shutdown continues, after GOP senators met with Trump yesterday. Ryan reports that two votes are expected today - another vote on passing the Continuing Resolution funding, and a separate vote for a bill on paying certain federal workers (TSA, air traffic controllers, military personnel, and federal law enforcement staff on that list). Meanwhile, the Arizone state's attorney has sued Congress, as Speaker Johnson continues to postpone swearing in newly elected Rep. Adelita Grjalva.
Simon tackles the day's biggest news headlines and them talks to IA Congresswoman Miller-Meeks about the continuing government shutdown, when it might reopen and what happens if the Continuing Resolution deadline expires.
Many folks are petrified to learn that the slaughter of several people in a public place happened in Gaza yesterday, and four people were shot and killed by the IDF yesterday in unrelated incidents. Both incidents occurred because of people making decisions outside the peace agreement. The people shot by the IDF were Hamas radical dissidents who were angry about the peace agreement. Don't fret! The peace agreement still stands. However, Part II is next, which will be for Hamas to disarm itself.The allegation that Cartels have put bounties on DHS officers is true. They have offered different bounties for different acts of violence against these offers, the highest of which is $50,000 for killing a ICE officer!Obamacare is squarely in the bullseye of the GOP. The massive costs to continue the subsidies for ACA premiums during the COVID pandemic will lapse at the end of this year. Although arguments continue over the potential cost to taxpayers if they are extended, the exact amount remains uncertain. But we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. The GOP did NOT have it in the original Continuing Resolution -- which was the intent of those who founded it under Obama -- however, Democrats are using that as "the" demand for them to open the Gov't.
www.commsolutionsmn.com- With so many things going up in flames (figuratively and literally) these days, we start the show with some ideas to torch the sport of baseball's customs. We need to ease into the bad news today. In a case of the shifting political landscape in America, Vivek Ramaswami won an endorsement from the Teamster's Union in his bid to become Ohio's governor. Who's next... Pennsylvania? Things aren't looking good for the Dems in the near future and we're too happy to lay it out for you. Kamala Harris' new book is proof positive, as she single-handedly tears down most every Democrat that wants to run for something in the next 3 years. As we predicted months ago, Tim Walz has announced that he is running for a third term as governor of Minnesota. Can he really win? He is wildly unpopular in outstate Minnesota. National trends are toward the Republicans as we watch the unraveling of our society. The streets are less safe. There are billions of dollars of fraud being uncovered under the watch of the Walz administration. We went from a huge surplus to a huge deficit. As predicted, Ranked Choice Voting is ruining our electoral system. The Democratic Socialist candidate in Minneapolis is running a mayoral slate to take second and third votes away from the current mayor. We've got a government shutdown, but for how long. The Dems refuse to negotiate unless health insurance for illegals is included. The Republicans are winning the PR battle for now... but we'll see what happens. Things are looking good for the Republicans in the midterms. We'll see if that makes any difference. Lastly, we're in a war over speech. Even some "conservatives" have begun to talk about hate speech. We can never go down that road. Speech has to remain free... likewise, if you're Jimmy Kimmel, you're not being censored. You're just being fake news.
It's Monday, October 13th, A.D. 2025. 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 Islamic terrorists in Congo killed 5 gold miners The Islamic Allied Democratic Forces continue to cause death and destruction in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, reports International Christian Concern. Last Tuesday morning, October 7th, they launched the deadly attack on Rizerie village, located in the predominantly Christian Lubero territory in North Kivu Province. The Muslim attackers arrived while people were working in a gold mining site. They killed five civilians who were actively mining gold at the time. A witness said, “The people who were killed were just trying to work so they could earn a living. They woke up early that morning, hoping to provide for their families. Then the rebels came out of nowhere and brutally ended their lives. It was horrifying — gunshots, screaming, and people running in every direction. Those men did not deserve to die like that.” According to Open Doors, Congo is the 35th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Please pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters in Christ in Congo, Africa. Trump insists on paying soldiers in midst of gov't shutdown President Donald Trump is implementing a temporary solution to minimize the pain inflicted on American servicemen during the Democrat-induced government shutdown, reports TheBlaze. On Truth Social, the President wrote, "I am using my authority, as Commander-in-Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this.” Democrats allowed government funding to lapse past the September 30 deadline, refusing to pass the Republican-led continuing resolution. Although spending fights have turned partisan in the past, Republicans simply proposed a clean 90-page Continuing Resolution that kept funding levels at the same rates that Democrats voted for in the past. Their bill had no partisan line items, with the only anomaly being a bipartisan boost in security funding for politicians following Charlie Kirk's assassination. On the other hand, Democrats proposed a $1.5 trillion funding bill that is chock-full of ideological provisions aimed at reversing the legislative accomplishments Republicans secured with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Democrats have also attempted to make the spending fight about re-negotiating Obama-era health care subsidies, although they do not expire until the end of the year. 16 killed in explosion at TN military explosives manufacturer A "devastating" blast at a Tennessee military explosives manufacturing plant at 7:48am on Friday is believed to have killed 16 people, reports ABC News. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis spoke at a press conference on Saturday. DAVIS: “We have notified all 16 families of those people that we feel were involved in this tragedy.” The explosion occurred at Accurate Energetic Systems in McEwen, located about 50 miles west of Nashville. DAVIS: “This is probably one of the most devastating sites I think I've been on in my career.” Help Voddie Baucham's widow and 9 children The Christian community continues to mourn the unexpected death on September 25th of Dr. Voddie Baucham, a towering figure in Evangelical circles. Known for his defense of Biblical truth, Baucham, a pastor, author, and theologian, left a legacy of family, faith, and opposing "woke" ideologies in the church. He wrote the book Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe. Listen to this sermon excerpt about the power of the Gospel. BAUCHAM: “We're justified, and we're adopted into the family of God. And we're sanctified, and as His children, we begin to bear the family resemblance. And we're further sanctified throughout this life by the very same Gospel that saves us, until one day when it's all said and done, we're not just saved from the penalty of sin. We're not just saved from the power of sin, but one day, we're glorified and saved from the very presence of sin. That's the Gospel that we preach. That's the Gospel that we need!” Romans 8:2 says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” And here's a soundbite where the late Voddie Baucham shared his last two wishes. BAUCHAM: “I've come to a place in my life where there's just a few things that I asked God for, and one of them that I pray for regularly is that God would allow me to spend my last day on this Earth with my wife, so that I can look her in the face and tell her that I was faithful to her to the day they put me in the ground. “And another thing that I asked for is that I have raised my children in such a way that, after I'm done scratching and clawing and fighting for the cause of the Kingdom [of God], and after I have reached out as far as I could possibly go for the sake of Christ, that I will have raised my children in such a way that rather than pursue the things of this world, they would climb over me and pick up where I left off and go further and further and further than I could ever imagine, or that I could ever have gone in and of myself. “That's what I want. More than anything else in this world. That's what I want.” If you would like to help contribute toward the $2,000,000 goal to provide for his widow, Bridget, and their 9 children, 7 of whom are still under her roof, click on the special GiveSendGo link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

Skeleton-wearing amulet may change history of Christianity And finally, an 1,800-year-old silver amulet discovered buried in a Frankfurt, Germany grave, still next to the chin of the man who wore it, has 18 lines of text written in Latin on just 1.37 inches of silver foil. That could be enough to rewrite the known history of Christianity in the Roman Empire, reports PopularMechanics.com. The amulet—and the inscription—are the oldest evidence of Christianity found north of the Alps. Every other link to reliable evidence of Christian life in the northern Alpine area of the Roman Empire is at least 50 years younger, all coming from the fourth century A.D. The amulet, found in a grave dating between 230 and 270 A.D., is now known as “The Frankfurt Inscription.” In a translated statement, Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt's head of culture and science, said, “This extraordinary find affects many areas of research and will keep science busy for a long time. This applies to archaeology as well as to religious studies, philology, and anthropology. Such a significant find here in Frankfurt is truly something extraordinary.” The mostly translated amulet says, “Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God! The Lord of the World resists with [strength] This rescue device(?) protects the person who surrenders to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, since before Jesus Christ all knees bow: the heavenly ones, the earthly and the underground, and every tongue confess to Jesus Christ.” In Philippians 2:10-11, the Apostle Paul wrote, “At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

On today's show we exhaustively bring you up to date on all the facts of the current status of the government shutdown and where we are. You'll hear from lawmakers who try to give citizens the "facts" about the shutdown. However, Democrats have been exposed for their misrepresentations of their version of a Continuing Resolution. We debunk their lies in great detail.There are numerous other moving parts in our government that you need to stay informed about. Make sure you digest the entire show!
In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson is joined by Politico's Nicholas Wu to break down the causes and consequences of the ongoing government shutdown. They discuss how partisan divides, failed budget talks, and the Senate filibuster have led to a halt in government services and potential spikes in healthcare costs. Nicholas shares what this means for everyday Americans, the political strategies on both sides, and why the shutdown could last for weeks. Tune in for a clear explanation of how we got here, what's happening now, and what may come next on Capitol Hill.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. How the Government Shutdown Happened: Nicholas Wu lays out the basic process of government funding through appropriations bills in Congress. He explains that both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are supposed to agree on funding for each agency by September 30th. This year, they failed to come to an agreement, and attempts at a stopgap measure (a continuing resolution) fell through, triggering the shutdown.2. Partisan Gridlock & Narrow Legislative Majorities: A recurring theme is the impact of narrow majorities in Congress and the difficulties that creates for reaching agreements. Wu highlights that with such close margins, especially in the Senate due to the filibuster rule, bipartisan cooperation is necessary but often lacking. The lack of communication between parties and between Congress and the White House is also emphasized as fueling the stalemate.3. Impact of the Shutdown on Everyday Americans: The conversation shifts to what the shutdown actually means for federal services and the public. Wu notes that the effect varies depending on where people interact with the federal government. Essential services (like air traffic control) keep running, but might do so without pay, while some non-essential services are halted, affecting federal workers and potentially local economies.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. The Kick Ass Standard President Trump’s announcement on prescription drug pricing, revealing that Pfizer will now offer medications at “most favored nation” prices, a move aimed at reducing costs for American consumers. Clay then shifts to a fiery cultural debate sparked by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech to military leaders, emphasizing a return to strict physical standards and meritocracy in the U.S. Armed Forces. Hegseth rejects DEI mandates and insists on combat readiness over diversity quotas, sparking a broader conversation about whether elite positions in the military—or any field—should reflect demographics or prioritize performance. Clay uses examples from Olympic basketball and the National Spelling Bee to argue that excellence rarely mirrors population diversity and that merit should always come first. Golden Handcuffs An in-depth discussion on JK Rowling’s viral takedown of Emma Watson and the gender ideology debate. Clay praises Rowling’s courage in standing against what she calls “gender insanity,” reading excerpts from her powerful statement that has garnered tens of millions of views. He challenges wealthy and influential Americans to show similar bravery in defending truth and common sense. OK Sen. Markwayne Mullin Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin does a deep dive into the budget impasse, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for obstructing a “clean CR” (Continuing Resolution) due to pressure from progressive challengers like AOC. Mullin outlines the shutdown’s impact on military pay, federal employees, and mandatory vs. discretionary spending, while criticizing continued COVID-era healthcare subsidies and Obamacare enrollment for undocumented immigrants—a $350 billion taxpayer burden, he claims. Mullin and Travis assert that Donald Trump’s 2024 landslide victory was a rejection of socialism and far-left policies. They argue the Democratic Party is now led by figures like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett, and suffering an identity crisis. Mullin also praises military fitness standards, referencing Pete Seth’s call for accountability among generals, and shares his own leadership philosophy rooted in discipline and example-setting. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Congressman and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the show to reflect on the Charlie Kirk shooting, drawing parallels to his own experience as a victim of political violence in 2017. Scalise emphasizes the importance of civil discourse, condemns cancel culture, and highlights the resilience of Turning Point USA, which has seen over 50,000 students express interest in launching chapters. He praises Erica Kirk’s commitment to continuing Charlie’s legacy and notes a religious revival among youth inspired by Kirk’s faith. Scalise also discusses the House-passed funding bill, warning that Schumer and the far-left are pushing a shutdown out of political spite. He urges Democrats to prioritize governance over ideological battles. The hour closes with Scalise’s thoughts on LSU football, NIL funding, and the electrifying experience of Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium, complete with Cajun tailgating and Garth Brooks anthems.

The gang opens with the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel's suspension following a controversial comment about the Charlie Kirk assassination. The network's swift action, affiliate pre-emptions, and eventual reinstatement fuel questions about free speech, network obligations, and government censorship.

It's a move Democrats call a tantrum, while Republicans push a Continuing Resolution unlikely to pass without major concessions.Chapters:00:00:00 - Intro00:16:19 - Jimmy Kimmel01:07:33 - Shutdown01:33:20 - Emails02:13:25 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

A very timely discussion with Derick Dreher of Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC) about what a federal budget stalemate really means for everyday nonprofit operations. Rather than getting lost in D.C. noise, Derick helps translate the process into plain decisions leaders can make right now. He distinguishes the big-picture spending framework from the agency-level appropriations that actually move money—and why, when competing continuing resolutions stall, operational pain shows up fast in grants, cash flow, and communications.Derick is direct about timing and accountability. “Government shutdowns are very disruptive,” he notes, because grants staff are furloughed, portals can go dark, and payments pause. That doesn't suspend your obligations: “If you have a report due date during the shutdown, you better send it in.” When systems are down, mailing with receipt becomes a practical move. He also cautions against attempting full drawdowns before costs are incurred; federal awards are reimbursement-based, and advances (if any) require clear permission and careful documentation.The heart of the conversation is a workable to-do list. First, narrow your information sources: look to the National Council of Nonprofits, your state association, and trusted sector platforms rather than endless doom-scrolling. Second, contact program and fiscal officers now—before furloughs begin—to ask about extensions, submission methods, and any allowable advances. Third, communicate with stakeholders early so they don't fill the silence with assumptions: explain what services could shift, what your contingency looks like, and how supporters can help.On finance, Derick recommends tightening the cadence of cash views to weekly during uncertainty and building a scenario that assumes zero federal revenue for a period. That plan—reviewed with the board—becomes your “break glass” map if payments stall. Pair that with thoughtful revenue diversity (individuals, corporate, foundation, government) so a delay in one stream becomes a solvable liquidity challenge instead of an existential crisis.Derick also flags a recent executive order on federal grantmaking that may slow timelines and alter risk: added political approvals, a preference for lower indirect rates, and a new termination clause could change how awards feel on the ground, at least temporarily. Agencies are emerging from a mandated pause, and budgets remain unsettled—so expect ambiguity, double down on documentation, and keep your communications clear and proactive.The message is steady and usable: focus your inputs, talk to agencies now, model contingencies, and keep people in the loop. Preparedness here isn't alarmist—it's good stewardship under uncertainty. #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #GrantManagementFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
Guest Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow of Fiscal Policy for Americans for Prosperity, joins to discuss latest budget battle in DC. Discussion of Continuing Resolution, upcoming reconciliation bills, and balancing the federal budget. US House passes a "clean" CR bill to fund the government for 7more weeks, while Democrats in the Senate look to threaten to shut down the government unless we spend more money. Are we surprised?
(The Center Square) – The U.S. Senate failed to pass either Democrats' or Republicans' government funding proposals Friday to prevent a government shutdown. Senators have now left town for a week-long recess, leaving only two days when they return to pass some kind of funding stopgap before the government shuts down on Oct. 1. Republicans' Continuing Resolution would have extended current government funding levels until Nov. 21, buying lawmakers time to pass all 12 annual appropriations bills for fiscal year 2026. It also included $30 million for additional lawmaker security and $58 million for U.S. Supreme Court judges and members of the executive branch.

On this episode of the podcast, Texas Congressman Brian Babin and Colorado Congressman Jeff Crank tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing America today. Rep. Babin takes aim at the media, warning that biased and inaccurate reporting is not only eroding trust but also fueling the flames of political violence. He also weighs in on the urgent debates surrounding border security and Congress's upcoming Continuing Resolution.Rep. Crank turns to the aftermath of the shocking attack at a rally for Charlie Kirk, demanding a thorough FBI investigation and accountability for any who may have been involved. He condemns political violence in all forms and challenges Democrats to stand against it as well. Congressman Crank underscores the enduring importance of faith, freedom, and the Constitution, pointing to a surge in new Turning Point USA chapter requests as a hopeful sign of rising patriotism among young Americans.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
