In this explosive episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive headfirst into the firestorm surrounding President Trump's nomination of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General. What begins as a critique of the credential-obsessed backlash turns into a full-blown investigation into the deeper concerns voiced by the MAHA base, ranging from her family ties and mRNA silence to the chilling alignment with globalist rhetoric. Ashe shares her initial support, then details how a fiery debate featuring Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Jack Kruse, and Casey's brother Calley Means shifted her entire perspective. The duo dissects the growing divide between reformers and those demanding full-scale accountability for COVID-era crimes, exploring questions of justice, depopulation, and transhumanist agendas. From monkey DNA and HIV vectors in vaccines to personal stories of vaccine regret and systemic manipulation, the episode delivers a raw, no-holds-barred conversation about trust, leadership, and what it really means to “Make America Healthy Again.” They also turn a critical eye to Greta Thunberg's transformation, from climate martyr to Gaza activist, and follow the money trail that links radical NGOs, U.S. taxpayer funds, and global regime propaganda. The episode wraps with a sobering breakdown of “guilt programming,” the inversion matrix, and the war on truth being waged through psychological warfare. Bold, emotional, and fiercely real, this episode of Culture of Change pulls no punches and demands a deeper level of discernment from its audience.

Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

With this second round of funding, Michigan now has the largest state-supported CDFI program in the nation. In total, the MI CDFI Fund has awarded $84 million to 46 CDFIs. CDFIs are mission-based lenders that provide flexible and affordable financing to small and micro-businesses, first-time home buyers, affordable housing developments, and projects that revitalize neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and community spaces. CDFIs expand access to capital and the resources needed to grow communities by offering financial services, technical assistance, and more. The MI CDFI Fund is a grant program aimed at assisting CDFIs grow their lending capacity and meet the growing demands of underserved borrowers. To qualify for MI CDFI Fund grants, an organization must be a certified CDFI, in good standing with the US Department of Treasury, either be headquartered in Michigan or have a Michigan presence and commit to allocating no less than 80% of grant funds to support Michigan borrowers. “The MI CDFI Fund is critical to the loan programs our members provide throughout the state,” said Elissa Sangalli, Chair of the Michigan CDFI Coalition and President of Northern Initiatives. Michigan CDFIs have a big impact in communities throughout the state. According to MI CDFI Coalition research, Michigan's CDFIs have deployed more than $4 billion in loans in addition to accomplishing the following: Created more than 30,000 permanent jobs; Deployed $1.53B PPP loans to Michigan businesses and nonprofits, preserving 165,000 jobs; Developed or preserved over 14,000 housing units (72% affordable); and Supported over 7,000 small or micro-businesses. First-round funds from the MI CDFI Program are already being deployed into Michigan Communities.

In this week's episode of Urban Valor, we sit down with U.S. Army veteran Denny Giamazzo, who was raised in Worcester, Massachusetts, Denny faced unspeakable abuse—abandoned by his drug-addicted mother, burned with cigarettes, and left alone for days as a young child. After entering foster care, he found brief moments of hope, but the scars of his past never left him.Denny opens up about nearly dying during Army basic training after a routine wisdom tooth extraction went horribly wrong, landing him in the ICU. He later deployed to Afghanistan, where he was forced to pull mangled bodies from trucks and survive gunfire in exposed overwatch positions. Now a mental health advocate, Denny speaks candidly about his struggle with PTSD, self harm thoughts, and how he's working to rebuild his life through veteran brotherhood and mentorship.

It's Tuesday, April 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 2,000 The death count resulting from a major earthquake centered in Myanmar has topped 2,000, reports The Guardian. The quake which registered 7.7 on the Richter scale, affected the areas of Mandalay and Sagaing. (Look at a shake map of Myanmar that shows the areas most affected by the earthquake.) Rescue efforts in the area of Sagaing have been hampered by the nation's military, as that area has the reputation of resisting the junta since the coup of 2021. The major Christianized areas of Myanmar include the Chin State in the northwest and the Karen State in the southeast. The earthquake affected the center of the country. Help Samaritan's Purse pay for Myanmar field hospital Franklin Graham announced that the Samaritan's Purse DC-8 jet departed Greensboro, North Carolina just yesterday, heading for Myanmar with medical supplies and a fully-equipped field hospital, complete with doctors and nurses. You can make a donation to this emergency medical response through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1,000 dead in Gaza from recent Israeli attacks War is heating up in the Middle East. Al Jazeera reports 80 deaths in Gaza in the past 24 hours, and 1,000 deaths since the ceasefire broke two weeks ago. On Sunday, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to intensify attacks on Hamas until Israeli hostages are released. U.S. deployed B-2 Bombers, two air craft carriers to Middle East The United States has deployed a quarter of its B-2 Bomber fleet to the Middle East, based on the island of Diego Garcia, just south of the nation of Iran. Also, the two aircraft carriers, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson and the U.S.S. Harry S Truman, have been moved into the Persian Gulf area, for a more significant military buildup. Trump threatened military action if Iran doesn't stop nuclear program President Donald Trump has sent a letter to Iran demanding a settlement on the nation's nuclear program. He threatened military action, but has received no response in two months. Trump told NBC News that "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before." Iran's skyrocketing inflation and severe water shortages Iran's internal pressures are rising as well. First, inflation remains at a staggering 40%. The Iranian rial, their currency, has lost significant value — crossing the 1,000,000 rial-to-dollar threshold recently. And second, because rainfall decreased by 25% last year, Iran's major dams are only at 6% capacity. The National Council of Resistance in Iran issued a recent report that summarizes the Iranian situation this way: “The sharp increase in water shortages, poverty, inflation, and systemic corruption has turned Iran into a powder keg, with officials scrambling to prevent an explosion that seems all but inevitable.” Trump's tornado of tariffs This is the big tariff week for the Trump Administration. What is called “reciprocal tariffs” are on schedule to take effect tomorrow, probably affecting India and Brazil most heavily - due to their tariff imbalances. In addition to the reciprocal tariffs, auto import duties of 25% will kick in on Thursday — mostly affecting Mexico with $20 billion in tariffs, Japan with $10 billion in tariffs, South Korea with $9 billion in tariffs, Canada with $8 billion in tariffs, and Germany with $6 billion. Plus, about half of the cars sold in the U.S. will be subjected to the 25% tariff. Let's keep in mind these general principles from the Proverbs. “Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; though they join forces, none will go unpunished. … When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” That's Proverbs 16:5 and 7. Governor DeSantis wants to eliminate Florida's property tax Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis indicated on X that he would support an initiative to eliminate property tax in his state. He noted that “taxing land/property is the more oppressive and ineffective form of taxation.” Both Pennsylvania and Florida are considering the elimination of this onerous taxing of the American people. States with the lowest property tax are Louisiana, Hawaii, Alabama, Delaware, and West Virginia. The states with the highest property tax rates are New Jersey, New Hampshire, Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Declining Catholic population Catholics are losing ground – fast -- in America. In 1980, Catholics represented 29% of the U.S. population. In 2024, Pew Research's recent survey found only 19% of Americans self-identified as Catholics. That's a 24% decline in 17 years. For every 10 people joining the Catholic Church, 84 are leaving. Mainline liberal Protestants have seen bigger drop By contrast, Protestants have declined by 19% over the last 17 years. Evangelicals have dropped from 26% to 23% of the population. That's only a 12% drop. Not surprisingly, mainline liberal Protestant denominations have seen a 39% drop in 17 years. 50% of parents support adult children Savings.com reports that half of U.S. parents support their adult children at an average of $1,474 per month. Interestingly, 40% of those same parents say they plan to cut off funds to their freeloading adult children within two years. Gold up, stocks down Gold continues on its upward surge, topping $3,120 per ounce on Monday. Meanwhile, stocks dipped again. The Nasdaq Composite scraping 17,000, about 3,000 points off of a February 19th high, reports the Associated Press. Disney's woke Snow White bombing at box office And finally, Disney is still losing big money on its woke projects. The new release of Snow White featured advocacy of girl power and socialism, not to mention computer-generated dwarves. Not surprisingly, it saw a 66% drop off from the first to the second week, marking this film in the “weak performer” category. The $270 million film pulled in just $67 million at the box office over two weekends. Let's remember the lesson from 1 Samuel 12:25. It says, “If you do not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you.” And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025.

The British government has taken steps to halt the prosecution of soldiers responsible for the deaths of civilians in Northern Ireland, most of whom had no connection to paramilitary activities. These killings were part of a ruthless dirty war that commenced in 1970 when Brigadier Frank Kitson, a counter-insurgency specialist, was sent to Northern Ireland. Kitson had spent decades in Britain's colonies refining old, and developing new, techniques which he applied in Northern Ireland. He became the architect of a clandestine war, waged against Nationalists while ignoring Loyalist atrocities. Kitson and his colleagues were responsible for: - The establishment of the clandestine Military Reaction Force (MRF) which carried out assassinations on the streets of Belfast of suspected IRA members; - They unleashed the most violent elements of the Parachute Regiment [1 Para] to terrorise Nationalist communities which, they adjudged, were providing support for the Official and Provisional IRA; - Spreading black propaganda designed to undermine Republican but not Loyalist paramilitary groups; - Deployed psychological warfare techniques, involving the torture of internees; - Sent Kitson's 'Private Army' - Support Company of 1 Para - to Derry where they perpetrated the Bloody Sunday massacre. The British Widgery and Saville inquiries did not hold Kitson and his elite troops accountable for Bloody Sunday. Kitson's Irish War lays bare the evidence they discounted: Kitson's role in the events leading up to and surrounding that massacre; evidence from a deserter from 1 Para who joined the IRA; a deceitful MI5 agent; a courageous whistle blower whom the British state tried to discredit, and much more, all of which points to a motive for the attack on the Bogside. This book unlocks the some of the key secrets of the Dirty War that the British government is still determined to cover-up. Learn more about your ad choices.

I almost feel stupid talking about the idiocy of Signalgate.We are going to be discussing the US Navy Vs. the Houthis, why the US strategy won't work, and we'll start with the massive Operational Security debacle that is called Signalgate, and what we can learn from it. Yes, Pete Hegseth our stalwart secretary of defense, is a complete idiot. We're also going to be talking about how the US just deployed a wing of US stealth bombers to the Diego Garcia Airbase in the Indian Ocean - escalation or show of force?

On this week's podcast, I speak with former UK 3 Para and current UK Firefighter Andy Williams. Despite a turbulent upbringing, Andy enlisted in the Parachute Regiment at just 16. Deployed to the deadly frontlines of Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in 2006, he confronted the brutal realities of warfare, engaging in some of the most intense combat witnessed by the British Army since the Korean War. After his military service, Andrew transitioned into domestic counter-intelligence and spent over a decade as a high-risk security consultant, navigating some of the world's most dangerous and unpredictable environments. These harrowing experiences forced him to face not only the physical dangers around him but also the deep, often unseen, psychological scars left by war. Beyond The Drop Zone, takes you on a gripping journey from patrolling the streets of Northern Ireland to war-torn Iraq, coming face to face with ISIS, and engaging in fierce battles in Afghanistan with 3 PARA. This raw and unflinching memoir reveals the psychological toll of combat, Andrew's struggles with mental health, and his fight against a life-threatening illness. It is a powerful account of overcoming immense adversity, finding a path to healing, and discovering the strength of perseverance. Andy is a best-selling author and is passionate about helping veterans' transition and advocates for mental health awareness for veterans and first responders. This is his story, told in his own words. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Andy Williams Editor: Kyle Watkins

Last week, we looked at 8 ways to identify and deal with the enemy. Now, we pick up in 1 Samuel 17:12 to see that David had returned to the fields. He humbly returned to serving as an errand boy while his three oldest brothers had accompanied the King to the battlefield.In week 2 of our series, Deployed, we continue to learn how to become dangerous friends as we learn five deployment principles from David's story. Unlike the Israelites (and David's brothers), who were cowering in fear, David submitted to God —faithfully serving both his father and the King. He devoted himself to the Lord — allowing God to prepare (develop) and lead (deploy) him.

On our journey towards becoming dangerous friends, we have spent the last 4 weeks looking at what it means to be devoted. Here, in our new 6-week series, we move on to the next step: deployment. Devotion allows us to get to know ourselves and our Lord as we look in the mirror of the perfect Law (Scripture). In deployment, we must also know our enemy. As we study the story of David and Goliath, we must do so on two levels: literally and allegorically. This week, we'll look at both as we study David's first deployment.
