It's Monday, July 20th, 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 Pakistani Christian 13-year-old girl still captive to Muslim man On July 7, the European Parliament condemned Pakistan for its violation of human rights, citing a 13-year-old Christian Pakistani girl who is still fighting for her freedom from the 30-year-old Muslim man who abducted her, reports International Christian Concern. Maria Shahbaz was kidnapped in July 2025 by Shehryar Ahmad, who forced her to convert to Islam and married her against her will. Alliance Defending Freedom came alongside her parents in their fight to regain custody of their child in Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court in February. Pakistani law states that a minor cannot legally consent to religious conversion or marriage, but shockingly the court ruled in favor of Ahmad when he presented a forged marriage certificate. In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Shahbaz's parents are not giving up. They are still appealing their daughter's case in court, hoping that justice will swiftly come. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Rizwan Sheikh, the Pakistan Ambassador to America, asking that he intervene. The address is 3517 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008. Two U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian attack on military base Two American soldiers were killed on July 17th in an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, reports the Western Journal. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command added, “Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged.” Plus, one soldier is missing. Iran's attacks came after the U.S. launched its seventh consecutive night of air strikes on Iran. Iran makes chilling death threats against President Trump Iranian state media has published a shocking video entitled “Where to kill Trump?”, claiming to know the U.S. leader's motorcade route and the vulnerabilities within his security, reports The Express. The highly concerning footage claimed to reveal “information on the whereabouts of the terrorist president of America” while promising that “access to Trump is possible in these places.” It also alleges to give details about the motorcade that protects the U.S. president, which typically consists of 40 to 50 vehicles. It comes after repeated death threats have been made by Iran following the U.S. assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. President Trump's primetime speech on election integrity Last Thursday night, President Donald Trump addressed election security in a nationwide primetime address from the White House, pointing to ways American political leftists and China have compromised our elections, reports The Epoch Times. TRUMP: “You can't have a great country without free and fair elections. All we want is honesty in our elections. Great damage has been done to our country. Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue. “Every American -- whether you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise -- should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.” President Trump explained that China started compromising our elections in 2020. TRUMP: “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.” And finally, President Trump vowed action to hold people accountable. TRUMP: “The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity. “You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out. Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly, and that's what we're doing.” Homeland Security Secretary vows to prosecute illegal voters In related news, during a Friday press briefing, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin promised to hunt down and prosecute illegal voters in the U.S., noting that 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in just four states, reports The Christian Post. Speaking in the wake of President Donald Trump's 25-minute primetime address about election security on July 16th, Mullin outlined an aggressive plan to tighten voter roll integrity, harden election infrastructure, and hold election officials accountable for alleged failures. Senator Marsha Blackburn: No more birth tourism Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has reintroduced legislation aimed at ending so-called “birth tourism” following the Supreme Court's recent 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Barbara. It held that children born in the United States to illegal aliens and foreign tourists remain entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, reports Big League Politics. She said, “Congress must step up to the plate to protect the integrity of American citizenship.” The Ban Birth Tourism Act is co-sponsored by GOP Senators Ted Budd of North Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Sheehy of Montana, Jim Banks of Indiana, and Rick Scott of Florida. The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly prohibit foreign nationals from obtaining temporary visas for the purpose of giving birth in the United States. It would also classify birth tourism as a deportable offense, allowing immigration authorities to remove foreign nationals who enter the country for that purpose. Call your two senators anytime -- 24 hours a day 7 days a week -- speaking to a live operator to leave a voicemail at 202-224-3121 and ask them to support the Ban Birth Tourism Act. That's 202-224-3121. Samaritan's Purse deployed disaster relief unit for Texas flood victims On July 17th, churches in the Texas Hill Country opened their doors as flood displacement shelters, taking in families whose homes and recreational vehicles had been swept away by rapidly rising rivers that killed at least two people, reports The Christian Post. Recently more than 30 inches of rain fell over several days, causing the Leona River and Guadalupe River to overflow. Floodwaters surged through the streets, destroying homes, and stranding people and vehicles. The Christian relief group Samaritan's Purse said it was deploying a disaster relief unit to the Hill Country, with staff and volunteer teams set to work in Uvalde County. The group said it was basing operations out of Uvalde Methodist Church, with volunteers beginning on Sunday to help residents remove waterlogged belongings and clear mud from their homes. Consider making a donation to Samaritan's Purse to help the Texas victims of the flood through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Worldview listeners weigh in from New York, Texas and Arkansas Deb Staley in Unadilla Forks, New York wrote me and said, “The Worldview never disappoints. It's uplifting, informative, and to the point. The Bible verses are so very helpful. And I love the fact that there are limited news stories. If there were more, I'd begin to tune out. Thank you for what you do.” David O'Hanlon in Burleson, Texas wrote, “I have listened to your broadcast every weekday for about two years which I support monthly. You bring news – especially the persecution of the Church – which I do not hear anywhere else.” And Melissa in Bradford, Arkansas wrote, “I listen to your newscast on my lunch break. I like it because it's truthful news about real people. Plus, you talk about stuff others do not. Thank you.” 26 Worldview listeners gave $ 9,113 And finally, by Saturday night at 10:00pm Central, 26 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

I recently recorded a session with Ken Muse and a Redgate Flyway Solution Engineer. It was a fun session using GitHub and AI, and better managing the code in an automated fashion to bring some determinism to AI coding. I'm hoping it will be released soon, and you can see a vision of how you can better wrangle your AI agents and reduce risk and increase reliability. When we started our discussion, Ken noted that he is an AI forward deployed engineer for GitHub. His job is to work with teams in how to use agentic coding. When we were first prepping, I had never heard the Forward Deployed Engineer title, which is apparently getting popular. It was in an issue of the Pragmatic Engineer Deep Dives last year, and I must have missed that issue. Apparently, this is a role that works part of the time with customer teams and part of the time with product or engineering teams. In other words, a software engineer with a new title who gets paid more than a software engineer. Read the rest of Forward Deployed Engineers

On this episode, we look at where enterprise CX AI actually stands in 2026 — and why deployment and performance are not the same thing.The Enterprise CX AI: 2026 Global Survey, conducted by Ryan Strategic Advisory and commissioned by TELUS Digital, reached 815 enterprise CX decision-makers representing 19 industry verticals and organizations with annual revenues ranging from $10M to over $5B. Among its findings: AI-assisted agent interactions, where an agent handles the conversation while AI tools surface information, suggestions and automations in real-time, are now the dominant model, leading in six of the seven functions the survey measured.But there's more to the story. Only 32% of organizations have AI-powered quality assurance in place, meaning nearly seven-in-ten of the surveyed organizations are running AI-assisted operations at a volume their quality assurance infrastructure likely can't keep pace with.Meanwhile, CX budgets are largely holding or growing, with 40% of enterprises reporting increased AI investment heading into 2026 and nearly 50% holding steady. At that level of commitment, the question shifts to whether what's been deployed is performing to the level that's expected.Peter Ryan, president and principal analyst at Ryan Strategic Advisory, and Erin Walker, global vice president of CX AI at TELUS Digital, approach the question from two complementary vantage points — the survey data and the delivery floor. Together, they cover where the enterprise market stands on CX AI.Show notesDownload the Enterprise CX AI: 2026 Global Survey conducted by Ryan Strategic Advisory and commissioned by TELUS Digital: https://www.telusdigital.com/insights/customer-experience/resource/enterprise-cx-ai-2026Learn more about CX Strategic Assessments from TELUS Digital: https://www.telusdigital.com/solutions/cx-consulting

Every principal I know is starting to play around with AI, using it to write faster, produce more, get more off their plate. And most of them are walking away disappointed. In this episode I'm talking about why AI keeps falling flat for principals — and what the actual line is between what AI should handle and what it should never touch. We tried to teacher-proof teaching for decades. Smart boards. Scripted curricula. Packaged observation frameworks. Every single one ended up in a supply closet. Now we're reaching for AI with the same hope. And it's failing for the exact same reason. If you've ever felt like AI was creating more work instead of less, or like something important got outsourced that wasn't supposed to, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why principals in both the "barely using it" and "all in" camps are struggling the same way The graveyard of tools that were going to change everything (and what AI has in common with all of them) The one question to ask before you open any AI tool What a 100% Principal never outsources to AI (and why)
Born in Grand Junction, Colorado, our guest's story begins in the rugged working-class towns of the American West and South—places where grit wasn't optional, it was survival. Raised in a coal mining family, with both parents working under his grandfather and a father who spent years as a roughneck, he grew up surrounded by hard labor, discipline, and resilience. Life wasn't always easy. His father battled alcoholism and could be harsh at times, but through the chaos came lessons in toughness, accountability, and perseverance. Sports like hockey, baseball, and football became an outlet during an otherwise grounded, blue-collar upbringing that would shape the man he would later become. In December 2004, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, beginning a journey that would forever alter the course of his life. After completing infantry school and Airborne training at Fort Benning, he earned his place as a sniper with 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry. Deployed to Southeast Baghdad in 2006, he endured the brutal realities of combat, surviving multiple near-death experiences and earning two Purple Hearts after a bombing and a devastating VBIED attack on his patrol base. The scars of war followed him home—both visible and invisible—and the battle for survival didn't end when the deployment did. What came next was a downward spiral few saw coming. Struggling to adjust after the military, one bad decision led to another—eventually pulling him into addiction, drug dealing, and a prison sentence that could have defined the rest of his life. But in June 2017, everything changed when he got sober from opiates and began rebuilding from the ground up. After his release, he met the woman who would become his wife, started a family, and rediscovered his faith. Today, while continuing to battle a liver disease connected to illnesses contracted during deployment, he stands as a living example of resilience, redemption, and the possibility of rebuilding a life after trauma, addiction, and war.

We dive deep into Arthur Allen's wartime contributions, his experiences as a bomber pilot, and how his vivid memoir became the foundation for their latest documentary. Frank and Austin share the unexpected twists that arose during the making of The Ramblings of a Bomber Pilot, including how they uncovered stories that went beyond Arthur's memoir. One of the most emotional aspects they discuss is the tragic loss of the iconic B-17 bomber, Texas Raiders, which is featured in the documentary. We explore the historical significance of this aircraft, its role in WWII, and the devastating accident in 2022 that claimed both the plane and several lives. Tune in for a poignant conversation about preserving history, the challenges of documentary filmmaking, and the enduring stories of those who served in WWII.Support the show

“Russians collected all Kenyans and did everything for them to go to the front line, to go to the death zone.”Waihiga Mwaura speaks to Yurii Tokar the Ukraine ambassador to Kenya. The Ukrainian claims Russia deliberately deployed many conscripted Kenyans to the front line of the Russia-Ukraine war shortly before the Kenyan foreign minister arrived in Moscow with the intention of stopping recruitment of his countrymen.The Russian embassy in Kenya did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment. It has previously denied any Government involvement in the illegal recruitment of Kenyan citizens. A representative of Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the BBC that "the government is not aware of such allegations and treats them as possible rumours and propaganda.”Thank you to the Focus on Africa team for its help in making this programme.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell sits down with Juan Aparicio, Co-Founder and CEO of Reshape Automation, to explore how AI agents are transforming industrial companies and what it really takes to deploy them successfully. Juan shares his journey from Siemens to Silicon Valley startups and ultimately founding Reshape to tackle the gap between massive automation potential and low actual robot adoption in U.S. manufacturing. They dive into the realities of robotics-as-a-service, why so many automation projects end up in the “robot graveyard,” and the critical role of process expertise and vendor partnerships. The conversation also covers the hype and limitations of humanoid robots in factories, and why deterministic, domain-specific AI agents are far better suited than generic copilots for high-stakes industrial use cases.

Marine veteran, Millionaires Club recipient, and Credit Repair Expo 2026 speaker Joshua Rico joins Daniel Rosen and Keenan Jones to share how he went from a 500 credit score to a million-dollar credit repair business. Join Our FREE Start Repairing Credit Challenge: http://startrepairingcredit.com/ While deployed in Iraq, a family member stole $6,000 from Joshua's bank account and tanked his credit. He came home to denials on apartments, denials on cars, and an 18.74% APR on the one vehicle he could get. After cycling through MLMs, phone flipping, barbering, and other ventures, the pandemic forced him to ask what he could actually build online. He found Credit Repair Cloud, finished the masterclass in two weeks, and landed 50 clients in his first month. Joshua breaks down every layer of his business: the $99/month recurring model, the organic marketing system built on video testimonials, and the disputing tactics his team uses daily. He explains why he stopped sending letters two years ago, how he uses upload portals, CFPB complaints, and social media disputes instead, and walks through his process for cleaning up personal information on credit reports. He also shares a late payment removal script, his approach to hard inquiries, and the pledge loan strategy he recommends for credit building. Tune in! P.S.

What does it take to fly into the most dangerous situations on earth… to save someone else? On this episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with Lt. Col. (Ret.) John Mangan, a decorated U.S. Air Force Combat Search and Rescue pilot who spent 25 years flying missions around the world. John flew the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter, conducting some of the most dangerous missions in military aviation—rescuing downed pilots and wounded soldiers in hostile environments. Over the course of his career, he: • Flew over 200 combat missions • Deployed eight times to Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria • Commanded the 33rd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron in Kandahar • Flew alongside Pararescuemen, SEALs, Delta Force, Rangers, SAS and Australian Commandos His courage and leadership earned him some of the military's most prestigious awards, including:
Nate Amidon: Why Scrum Master Success Means Owning the Entire Idea-to-Deployed Pipeline Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Success for a Scrum Master is maximizing value of the product through the organization. That's a full stop statement." - Nate Amidon Running a company of contract Scrum Masters gives Nate a unique perspective on what success actually looks like. For him, it comes down to one thing: are you increasing the value of the product through the system? Everything else is either a leading or lagging indicator. Practically, this means starting with the most fundamental question: why does your team exist? Nate suggests asking three team members separately what the team does and who they do it for — and checking whether the answers match. Once you have clarity on purpose, you can work with product and the organization to figure out how to measure whether you're getting closer. But here's where Nate pushes boundaries: he believes a Scrum Master's scope isn't limited to the Scrum team. If success is measured by value flowing through the system, then you have to take ownership of the entire idea-to-deployed pipeline — product prioritization, cross-team dependencies, QA processes, CI/CD, release schedules. You happen to work as a Scrum Master on a team, but your responsibility extends to anywhere value gets stuck. In this episode, we refer to Vasco's OTOG (One Team, One Goal) principle and Nate's previous episode about the brief-execute-debrief cycle. Self-reflection Question: If someone asked three different members of your team what the team exists to do and who they do it for, would the answers match — and have you checked recently? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Meme Retro Nate's favorite retrospective format might surprise you: the Meme Retro. Give everyone 5-10 minutes to find a meme on the internet that describes the last sprint. Then go around the room, share the meme, and explain why you chose it. It sounds lighthearted — and it is — but that's exactly the point. As Vasco notes, "laughs per minute" is a great metric for retros, because when people are laughing, they can talk about serious issues without defensiveness. The memes give a different angle on what happened during the sprint, surfacing deeper feelings and patterns that traditional formats might miss. It's especially useful when teams are getting fatigued from running the same retro format over and over. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Israeli airstrikes killed three journalists in southern Lebanon this weekend, as Netanyahu orders the military to expand its offensive as millions are displaced by the war. Iran agreed to let 20 Pakistani-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz as a diplomatic gesture, but thousands more U.S. troops are arriving in the region, raising questions about whether a deal is close or the war is widening. And TSA workers are now past 40 days without pay, as President Trump says he has a plan to pay them but it is not clear how it will work.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

AI Chatbots appear to really be keen on using nuclear weapons in war game simulations—something like 95 percent of the time, according to a report published in late February.Over at King's College London, researchers had ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini form teams and play simulated war games against each other. Altogether, they played 21 games, and in 20 of the games, the systems reached for the button. During the experiment, none of the models ever chose to surrender—and instead, 95 percent of the time, the AI models chose to use nuclear weapons during the war.Let's go through the details of this study together.
Trump pauses strikes on Iran as troop deployments ramp up and Hormuz negotiations continue. Meanwhile, DHS shutdown chaos spreads to airports, causing long TSA wait times.

US soldiers from the U.S. Army's elite 82nd Airborne Division are on their way to the Middle East in addition to the 5,000 US marines headed to the region... and this morning centcom confirmed there are Approximately 50,000 troops are already there.
President Trump has deployed hundreds of ICE agents to major U.S. airports to help overwhelmed TSA officers amid long security lines caused by the partial government shutdown. When asked whose idea it was, Trump proudly declared: “Mine." Democrats quickly fired back. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) held a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport and said: “The message today is: Fund the TSA and get ICE out." Other Democrats echoed the criticism, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) warning that “untrained ICE agents” at checkpoints put travelers at risk and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) saying that “masked, armed police at travel checkpoints is a hallmark of dystopian movies" that creates chaos for political leverage. What do you think — smart move to keep airports moving, or reckless political stunt? Drop your thoughts below.

Democracy Wins—Pentagon Loses. Another Fumble from Hegseth. Vietnam Vet Robert Mueller Dies. No Justice for Breonna Taylor. RIP, CBS Radio. Admiral James Stavridis is back for a master class on war, peace, and the future of American power at a moment when Donald Trump can do almost anything he wants with the most powerful military on earth. The former NATO Supreme Allied Commander joins host Paul Rieckhoff to break down Trump's war in Iran, the risks of escalation, what it would really mean to send Marines through the Strait of Hormuz, and how adversaries like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are watching—and celebrating. Stavridis explains why cyber is the next battlefield, what AI-enabled cyberattacks could look like, and why offensive cyber tools in the hands of angry regimes should have every American's attention. They dig into Trump's deployment of ICE to airports amid a partial shutdown, the culture crisis inside ICE, and whether Trump is road-testing ICE as a domestic political weapon where he can't legally use the U.S. military. Stavridis lays out where checks on Trump's power might actually come from—courts, Congress, NATO, and the American people—and why he still believes in the possibility of a centrist, independent political movement (even as a registered independent himself). It's Manosphere Monday, March Madness is in full swing, St. John's is dancing into the Sweet 16, and Rieckhoff and Stavridis still find “something good” in Disney World, underdogs, and the young Americans now fighting and dying in Iran. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Pickup a copy of the Admiral's outstanding book: 2084 A Novel of Future Wars. . -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Iran War Coverage: US Postpones Military Strikes On Energy Infrastructure, Iran Calls Trump To Start Negotiations! Trump Stresses No Nuclear Weapons For Iran & Warns US Will ‘Just Keep Bombing' If Talks Fail! Plus, ICE Agents Deployed To US Airports Amid TSA Chaos
Today's Headlines: Three weeks into the Iran "excursion" — Trump's word, not ours — and there's no end in sight. Trump claimed Iran asked for a ceasefire; Iran said that didn't happen. Either way, 5,000 more marines and three more warships are headed to the region, joining the 50,000 U.S. troops already there. Oil is stuck at $100 a barrel, every country Trump asked to help escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz said no, and the U.S. bombed Iran's Kharg Island oil hub — which Trump said he might hit "a few more times just for fun," as one does. Iran fired a missile at an Italian base in Iraq's Kurdistan region, a drone killed a French soldier in the same area, and Emmanuel Macron had to call Tehran to say that's unacceptable. At home, a federal judge blocked the DOJ's attempt to criminally investigate Fed Chair Jerome Powell, ruling it was a pretext to pressure the Fed on interest rates — the Trump administration is appealing. The FCC chair threatened to pull local TV licenses over Iran war coverage he doesn't like, and Trump threatened media outlets on social media for the same reason. Neither has real teeth yet, but that's sort of the point. Meanwhile, a viral six-hour deposition of two former DOGE employees revealed they used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 grants to cut — including ones for Black civil rights documentaries and Holocaust research — with zero government or academic experience between them. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration will collect a $10 billion fee from the TikTok deal — on an app valued at roughly $14 billion total. Palantir's CEO went on CNBC to brag that his AI will shift economic power away from educated women who vote Democratic. Kash Patel announced the FBI will now train with UFC fighters. Marco Rubio is on the witness list in his close friend's federal trial for acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Venezuela. A Florida Democrat won the Boca Raton mayoral race by one vote, and the Republican loser said he'd "sleep on" whether to accept the results. And a UCLA study found that diverse film casts outperform at the box office — which landed the same weekend the Oscars completely snubbed Sinners.
