Podcasts about dictators

Today, we're tackling a question nobody wants to talk about but every believer must face: Why does the world hate Christianity? Why aren't we just ignored or disagreed with—why are we targeted, marginalized, rejected outright? Paul M. Neuberger pulls back the curtain on 2,000 years of pushback. From the Roman Colosseum to today's corporate boardroom—the face of opposition changes, but the mission stays the same.Because at the center of every act of ridicule, every moment of contempt, every time the mob tells you to sit down and shut up—one truth stands: Jesus is STILL Lord. The world hates what it cannot control. Faithfulness has always been more important than popularity.So when your moment of truth comes when your integrity, your courage, your commitment to Christ is put to the test—what will YOU do?Lock in. Open your Bible. This one's going to be raw, real, and relentlessly committed to the truth.“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." —John 15:18-19Episode Highlights14:48 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Now think about that one. Cultures change, governments change, trends change. Public opinion changes. God changes, never does. That truth is incredibly comforting for believers. It's also incredibly threatening to a culture that wants to redefine everything.22:11 - You can't kill an idea whose founder walked out of his own grave... The Roman Empire couldn't stop Christianity. Communism couldn't stop Christianity. Dictators couldn't stop Christianity... Christianity was never built upon a political movement. It was built upon a resurrected savior.46:08 - The hatred directed toward Christianity should not surprise us. Jesus told us it was going to happen. The apostles experienced it. The early church endured it. Faithful believers all throughout history have faced it. And now it's our turn. The goal has never been popularity... The goal has always been faithfulness to Christ.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

In the new episode of our series produced in collaboration with the Journal of Democracy, Ferenc Laczó speaks with James Loxton about his article, “Why We Elect Former Dictators and Their Children.” James Loxton discusses prominent cases of former dictators or the children of former dictators being elected democratically as president or prime minister; how suchleaders deal with their authoritarian inheritance; what we might have misunderstood about democratization in the light of this rather widespread phenomenon;and how it might be countered more effectively in the future.

Waarom stort een grootmacht zich in een oorlog? | Artikel 42.7 van de EU | Wat kan Europa Poetin bieden? Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk leggen uit hoe zelfoverschatting, van Napoleon en Hitler tot Vladimir Poetin en Donald Trump, leidt tot strategische ontsporingen en vastlopende oorlogen. Ze schetsen hoe autocraten succes verwarren met almacht, hun adviseurs tot jaknikkers reduceren en zo de militaire en economische realiteit uit het oog verliezen, met Oekraïne als actuele casus. Boekestijn en De Wijk duiden waarom grootmachten zich steeds weer in dure buitenlandse avonturen storten, gedreven door machtsvergroting, veiligheidsdilemma en een internationale orde zonder scheidsrechter. Ze verbinden de opkomst van China, de relatieve verzwakking van de Verenigde Staten en de Europese wapenwedloop aan klassiek-realistische theorievorming, inclusief de zero-sum-logica achter Taiwan en de Europese herbewapening. Daarna ontleden ze de reikwijdte van EU-verdragsartikel 42.7 tegenover NAVO-artikel 5, aan de hand van Frankrijk en Cyprus, en bespreken ze de roep om gesprekken met Rusland over Oekraïne. Ten slotte analyseren ze de militaire positie van Rusland en de voorzichtige, vooral economische steun van China, wat scherp laat zien waar de kwetsbaarheden en rek in het huidige machtsspel liggen. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke talks with Bill Easterly about his new book, Violent Saviors: The West's Conquest of the Rest. Drawing on figures such as Adam Smith, P.T. Bauer, and Amartya Sen, Easterly argues that material progress alone cannot justify the denial of human dignity and consent. The conversation explores the idea of the “benevolent autocrat” and examines how both colonialism and modern development policy have too often treated people as objects of improvement rather than agents of their own lives. Along the way, Boettke and Easterly discuss state capacity, slavery, colonialism, migration, and post-communist transitions, making the case that freedom is not just a means to development but an end in itself.Dr. William Easterly is Professor Emeritus of Economics at New York University and Co-director Emeritus of the NYU Development Research Institute. He is the author of numerous books, including The Tyranny of Experts: Economists, Dictators, and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor (Basic Books, 2014), The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good (Penguin Books, 2006), and The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics (MIT Press, 2001).**This episode was recorded on February 2, 2026**Show Notes:Acemoglu and Robinson, The Narrow Corridor: States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty (Penguin Books, 2020)Amartya Sen, Development As Freedom (Vintage, 2000)David Colander, Why aren't Economists as Important as Garbagemen?

This week's episode was recorded before the Trump Assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents dinner, but Jason inserted a late breaking addition to reference it at the start. In the regularly scheduled programming, Jane and Jason take a range of listener questions on topics like: Is the Iran War on or off? Does the downfall of Victor Orban mean a turn away from neo-populism and authoritarianism? Are Starmer's incremental moves towards the EU Mega Ordering or not? Will he be forced out of office on May 8? And will the dynamics of the Iran war and higher oil prices change things between Ukraine and Russia? And what is Israeli ‘hasbarah'=public diplomacy and does it fuel antisemitism? And as they Order the Disorder, the duo experiment with a quick fire round where they discuss: What might actually happen on US-Iran negotiations, Trump's tanking approval ratings, his constant firing of staff, Virginia Redistricting, and what that means for this year's Congressional midterms.

I start this episode diving into The False Prophet documentary, a 4-part Netflix series that exposes a self-proclaimed prophet. The show highlights how he was able to manipulate idiots who surrendered their wives and daughters to this creep. It's hard to believe. But worth a watch if you're into true crime and/or cult stories.Then I get into the Eric Swalwell saga & the Hungary election. Swalwell's political collapse shows how quickly the pro-democracy party can coup you when one-party rule is threatened. The ruthlessness of communist politics and their propaganda arm in the media is unlike anything we've seen in the US, at least in my lifetime. Meanwhile, Hungary has voted out Viktor Orbán after 16 years, I talk about Budapest and how this election might impact the nation's culture, borders, and relationships with the EU and beyond.Also, as usual, I share funny social media posts. And Trump's beef with Pope Leo, the OpenAI lawsuit, communism, and much more.

John this time talks about congressman Eric Swalwell exiting Congress, the California gubernatorial campaign, and politics in general. Another accuser has come forward, telling reporters Swalwell drugged and raped her while she worked on his staff. He also discusses Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger stopping tax breaks for Confederate groups and new Prime Minister Peter Magyar telling Hungarians he has ended his predecessor's habit of using state money to fund a number of right-wing organizations and events, including CPAC. Then, John has a discussion on Middle Eastern politics with Deborah Shushan. She sheds light on the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and the broader implications for the region. As tensions rise, John and Deborah explore the complexities of U.S. involvement and the moral questions that arise from Trump's current policies. Next, John interviews Rebecca Novack, author of the provocative new novel "Murder Bimbo." This satirical thriller centers around a queer sex worker embroiled in political violence, raising questions about identity, power, and societal norms. Rebecca shares her writing journey and the challenges of releasing a book that unexpectedly mirrors real-world events. And finally, Comedy Daddy - Keith Price returns once again to chat with listeners about the Republican evils in the world and the Democratic blessings we should cherish and remember.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“I find it very odd that agency is being promoted for its own sake rather than being connected to any kind of value system. Because without those things, agency looks pretty scary. Dictators are quite high agency.” — Sophie Haigney On April Fools' Day, The New York Times published an op-ed entitled “All the Worst People Seem to Want to Be High Agency.” But it wasn't a joke. Sophie Haigney — former web editor of The Paris Review, currently working on a debut essay collection entitled Future Relics — warns that “agency” has become the defining buzzword of Silicon Valley bro culture. From Sam Altman to Mark Zuckerberg, Haigney observes, our new tech overlords have made becoming “high agency” their top priority in self-realization. Haigney argues that these entrepreneurs touting high agency most insistently are the very same people building the tools most likely to rob everyone else of theirs. Like her New York Times jeremiad, it's no joke. Altman and Zuckerberg's agentic technologies are often exploitative and addictive. They will make the worst people worse. Ha ha. It will be April Fools' Day every day. Five Takeaways •       The 401(k) Is Low Agency: Sam Altman's first answer to “what skills to develop in the age of AI”: become high agency. The term has migrated from philosophy and debates about free will into Silicon Valley self-help, LinkedIn posts, and entrepreneurship podcasts. In its new form it has a gambling element the old bootstrap individualism lacked. Someone in San Francisco told Haigney that having a 401(k) is the lowest-agency thing you can do with your money. Put it all on red. The rewards for big risk-taking are so much larger now that incrementalism — get a job, save up, buy a house — looks like passivity. That's a new development, and a dangerous one. •       The People Promoting Agency Are Robbing You of Yours: Haigney's sharpest observation: the people promoting high agency most loudly are building the tools most likely to strip it from everyone else. Sam Altman says become high agency. His product — in Haigney's view — will function like social media: not liberating but addictive, another rabbit hole that makes people more stuck. The gambling epidemic is the same logic. Sports betting offers the seductive illusion that your specific knowledge can crack the system. But the system is designed so the average person can't win. High agency, in practice, tends to concentrate at the top. •       Stuckness and the Lottery Mindset: We live in a moment of extreme stuckness — people who feel two steps away from winning the lottery and yet completely unable to move. This odd combination — paralysis plus the fantasy of a big break — is what the high-agency ideology exploits. Haigney connects it to the gambling epidemic, to the male podcasters with beards, to the young men who feel the system is rigged against them and are being told: the solution is to become the kind of person who cuts in line. What nobody says is that the cutting-in-line ethos, scaled up, is what produced the system they feel rigged by in the first place. •       Hitler Was High Agency: The most unsettling move in the piece. Agency without values is just power. FDR was high agency: he packed the court, overrode term limits, used wartime powers to push through the New Deal. Dictators, Haigney notes, are quite high agency. The tech adoption of the term strips it of any moral content — agency is promoted for its own sake, disconnected from any question of what it's being used for. That, she argues, is what makes it genuinely frightening at scale. Emerson's “Self-Reliance” is the American ancestor. Thoreau, its famous practitioner, got his mum to do his laundry. •       High Agency Could Mean Repair: Haigney's counter-proposal: couldn't we be high agency and organize to build a better railway? Wouldn't it be high agency to fix the Department of Education rather than abolishing it? The NHS, railways, public education — systems people are nostalgic for — required enormous collective agency to build. The tech definition of agency is individualistic and destructive. But there's another definition: the capacity to act together, to create rather than just disrupt. That version doesn't get much airtime on the podcasts. It should. About the Guest Sophie Haigney is a critic and journalist who writes about visual art, books, and technology for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper's, and others. She is a former web editor of The Paris Review and is working on her debut essay collection, Future Relics, for Liveright. References: •       “All the Worst People Seem to Want to Be High Agency,” The New York Times, April 1, 2026. By Sophie Haigney. •       Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-Reliance” (1841) — the American philosophical ancestor of today's high-agency ideology. •       Episode 2858: Scott Galloway on the male crisis — agency, stuckness, and young men. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:31) - “All the worst people seem to want to be high agency” — the April 1 op-ed (02:51) - The Silicon Valley definition: risk, disruption, cutting in line (04:52) - Emerson, self-reliance, and the new American individualism (06:44) - Is high agency essential to survive the 2020s?

Yascha Mounk and Ivan Krastev also discuss the war in Iran—and what it means for Trump's future. Ivan Krastev is the chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies, and Albert Hirschman Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences, IWM Vienna. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Ivan Krastev discuss how Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule in Hungary came to an end, why democratic institutions proved more resilient than many expected, and what lessons this holds for understanding the limits of competitive authoritarianism.

“When Haiti plays Brazil, Haitians will feel equal. Football gives even the weakest and the poorest a fighting chance. That is profound.” — Dimitry Elias LégerYesterday, Simon Kuper defined the World Cup as a religious feast for all of humanity. Today, Dimitry Elias Léger asks whether God is watching. His new novel, Death of the Soccer God, is a fictional reimagining of the most famous goal in American World Cup history — scored in 1950 by a non-American. Joe Gaëtjens was a half-German, half-Haitian teenager sent to New York to study, not to play football. He picked up the game in Central Park, somehow (as a non-American) made it onto the US team at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, and scored the goal that famously beat England one–nil in Belo Horizonte. England was so heavily favoured that the football-mad BBC didn't even send a reporter.Léger — a Haitian-born writer and (for his sins) an Arsenal fan — spent three weeks in Brazil researching the novel, two of them in Belo Horizonte. The philosophical question at the core of the book asks if God loves Haiti. Does God, Léger wonders, have a particular affection for the poorest people on earth?And now, for the first time in decades, Haiti have qualified for the World Cup. In the United States of all places. They're in the toughest group — with Morocco and, yes, Brazil. For ninety minutes, Haiti will be the Seleção's equal. The democratic spectacle of football, Léger says, gives even the weakest and the poorest a fighting chance. God might even be watching. Five Takeaways•       The Most Famous Goal in American World Cup History Was Scored by a Haitian: Belo Horizonte, 1950. The US beat England one–nil. The scorer was Joe Gaëtjens — a half-German, half-Haitian teenager sent to New York to study, not to play football. He picked up the game in Central Park. He couldn't tell his parents he was playing for America in the World Cup. The BBC didn't even send a reporter. England was so heavily favoured it wasn't supposed to matter.•       Football Is the Only Arena Where Foot-Eye Coordination Is the Dominant Skill: We use our hands for everything. Football inverts it. That's why it seems miraculous when Pelé or Maradona or Messi does what they do. The feet are not supposed to be that graceful. It's more art than science, more jazz than chess.•       Pelé Looks Like a Typical Haitian Kid: The first televised World Cup final was 1958 in Stockholm. Pelé was sixteen and scored a hat-trick. He looked like a majority of the planet's population. That helped football explode globally. He introduced the bicycle kick, the samba flair. Brazil won three World Cups in twelve years.•       Papa Doc Disappeared Him: In real life, Gaëtjens returned to Haiti after his glory years, ran afoul of the dictator François Duvalier, and was disappeared — never seen again. In the novel, the hero confronts the dictator face to face. Dictators have always used football to drape themselves in glory.

Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Derek Hunter. The show digs into the 2026 war with Iran, a critique of media "elites," and a reflection on the shifting tides of American foreign policy and cultural resilience. The New York Times' skepticism regarding Israel's "decapitation" strategy against Iranian leadership is debunked with historical parallels to the fall of the Nazi regime. Dean pulls no punches on the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the "trust policies" of Fairfax County that he argues are endangering citizens, and the curious silence of the "Arab Street" as Iran's proxies face dismantling. The episode rounds out with a cultural critique — moving from the "woke" re-branding of Texas Democrats to the aspirational, colorblind philosophy of Star Trek's original series. It's a masterclass in connecting historical precedent to the chaotic reality of 2026. The Iran Conflict: Why "decapitating" leadership works and why the media is desperate to find "pragmatic" terrorists. NATO & The "Ugly American": A look at France and Ireland's critiques of U.S. policy and why Dean agrees with Lord Palmerston that nations have no permanent allies, just permanent interests. Domestic Security: The tragic murder of Stephanie Minter and the "trust policies" hampering law enforcement. Star Trek Philosophy: What Kirk, Uhura, and Lincoln can teach us about not fearing words in a hypersensitive age.

Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber discuss the economic impact of a hypothetical war with Iran and its effect on real estate. They predict that while rising oil prices and geopolitical conflict initially cause demand destruction and recessionary fears, the Federal Reserve will ultimately intervene by lowering interest rates. This monetary easing is expected to create a lucrative window for property investors to acquire assets from motivated sellers before prices rise again. Beyond economics, they offer bold political predictions regarding the liberation of foreign nations under the Trump administration's strategies. They conclude that long-term success in property ownership depends on controlling emotions and holding assets long enough for market cycles to turn favorable. This May, become an Empowered Investor.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Barbara Mahoney, author of "Dispatches and Dictators: Ralph Barnes for the Herald Tribune" from OSU Press. The book, originally published in 2003, has just been issued in a new paperback edition. Ralph Barnes was born in Oregon and educated in the Beaver State in the early 20th century. He became a journalist and worked as a newspaper reporter in Europe in the 1930s during the run-up to World War II. Stalin punished Barnes for publishing factual stories that reflected poorly on the Soviet Union, and Hitler banished Barnes from Germany - when Barnes published a prescient story predicting that Germany would eventually attack the Soviet Union. Barnes' career was cut short by the crash in November 1940 of an RAF bomber on which he was a passenger. He was 41 years old.

Gerald Celente and Judge Andrew Napolitano discuss the Iran War and how the Constitution has utterly failed as an instrument to refrain government.

President Trump carried out one of the most consequential military operations in recent history, killing 40 of Iran's leaders along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But the media and liberals would rather stand with Iran. Iranian people all over the world have been celebrating their newfound freedom, yet leftist American women feel the need to protest this. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) keeps trying to troll President Trump, but it has not been going well for him. Joe Biden embarrasses himself while trying to speak at an event. The House Oversight Committee releases video of Hillary Clinton melting down during her testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 Sponsors: ► PreBorn Donate securely at https://www.preborn.com/sara or dial #250, keyword BABY. ► BlazeTV Head over to https://www.blazetv.com/sara and subscribe today.

A single decision can bend history, and today's Iran proves it. We trace how a string of unlikely turns—an election loss, a near miss on a Pennsylvania stage, and a hard pivot back to the White House—set the conditions for a coordinated U.S.–Israel strike that decapitated the world's top state sponsor of terror. No occupation. No open-ended ground war. Just sustained air, cyber, and intelligence pressure meant to dismantle missile stockpiles, sever proxy pipelines, and hand the next move to the Iranian people.We get candid about the stakes. Supporters call it overdue justice; critics warn of escalation and blurred lines of legality. On the streets and across the diaspora, Iranians express something rare: cautious gratitude and a hunger for a normal life. That's the hinge of the conversation—why a young, educated, urban nation that once looked modern and open could, if given breathing room, reclaim prosperity and dignity. We revisit the Shah-to-theocracy arc, the repression that followed, and the five levers that could power a comeback: demographics, human capital, energy wealth, urban infrastructure, and a living memory of freedom.We also dig into U.S. politics without flinching. The end of the Powell doctrine mindset, party rifts over strength versus restraint, and a State of the Union moment turned viral ad all collide with a broader strategic thesis: short wars, not forever wars; disruption over occupation; and moral clarity against regimes that murder their own. The risks—proxy retaliation, sleeper cells, and regional friction—are real. So is the opportunity to redraw security lines from the Gulf to the Mediterranean if terror architecture collapses and a better order emerges.If you care about foreign policy, Middle East dynamics, energy geopolitics, human rights, or the collision of strategy and values, this one's for you.

They discuss Trump's systematic corruption, the GOP's moral collapse, the 2026 midterms as a decisive moment for democracy, Trump's entanglement with Russia and Putin, what a Ukrainian victory would mean for the free world, why Putin's nuclear threats are a bluff, and other topics.

Trump's February 5th National Prayer Breakfast speech exposed the complete moral collapse of evangelical Christianity in America. At an event founded in 1953 to bring leaders together in reconciliation, Trump delivered 75 minutes of grievances, insults, and praise for dictators. He called critics lunatics, labeled Representative Thomas Massie a jerk, praised El Salvador's authoritarian president Nayib Bukele and his cruel prison system, and claimed Democrats cheat while saying no person of faith could vote for them. The 3,500 attendees, mostly evangelical Christians, responded with standing ovations.Pete Wehner's Atlantic article examines how evangelicals abandoned Jesus's teachings for Trump's viciousness. Leaders like Robert Jeffress openly declared they wanted the meanest, toughest fighter rather than someone who follows biblical principles. Jerry Falwell Jr. called for street fighters instead of nice guys. Tony Perkins admitted evangelicals gave Trump a mulligan on affairs and hush money because they wanted someone willing to punch back. These Christians now see Trump's cruelty as virtue when directed at perceived enemies.The Prayer Breakfast highlighted Trump's authoritarian tendencies. He praised dictators, attacked political opponents, and claimed persecution of Christians before his presidency. Meanwhile, many evangelical pastors remain silent, afraid to speak prophetically against injustice. Some Christians are resisting, including Catholic leaders, mainline denominations, and individual pastors standing against cruelty and oppression. The question remains whether evangelical Christianity can recover its moral foundation or has permanently embraced authoritarianism over Christian ethics. Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter from Birmingham Jail reminds us the church must be the conscience of the state, not its servant.

It's Thursday, February 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sam Brownback: “Dictators fear religious freedom more than nuclear weapons” The International Religious Freedom Summit held its six annual meeting this week in Washington, D.C. Organizers reported nearly 80% of people around the world live in countries with high levels of restrictions on religion. The meeting identified China, Iran, Russia, Nigeria, and India as some of the worst countries for religious freedom. Sam Brownback, co-chair of the summit, said, “Ours is truly a global movement feared by dictators around the world because we represent the heart of freedom. They actually fear religious freedom more than they do aircraft carriers or even nuclear weapons.” In John 8:31-32, Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Finnish authorities continue to harass Christian Parliamentarian Attacks on religious freedom are rising in Europe as well. A prominent example is Finnish Parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen. She has faced trial three times for sharing her Christian beliefs online. Her case is now before Finland's top court.  Räsänen testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee yesterday in a hearing on Europe's threat to American speech. Concerning her case, she has warned, “If I would lose, it would mean … starting a time of persecution of Christians in Finland and also in Europe.” Listen to her comments at the hearing. RÄSÄNEN: “I have been supported by my faith and thousands of expressions of support I have received from around the world, including many from the U.S. Congress. “I remain hopeful. I trust that freedom of expression can still be upheld. It is too important to lose.” Will Europe ban social media for minors? European countries are considering measures to ban social media use for minors. France's National Assembly passed a bill last week that prohibits children under 15 from using social media. The bill heads to the French Senate. President Emmanuel Macron supports the measure. Similarly, Spain and Greece recently announced plans to ban social media use by teenagers there. This comes after Australia became the first country in the world to enforce such a ban last December. Trump signed $1.2 trillion funding bill In the United States, President Donald Trump signed a $1.2 trillion funding bill on Tuesday. This ends the partial government shutdown that began on Saturday. The bill did not including long-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats are demanding changes to the agency before approving more funding.  700 of 3,000 ICE officers leave Minnesota Speaking of ICE, White House Border Czar Tom Homan  announced a drawdown of immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota yesterday. About 700 of the roughly 3,000 officers in the state are leaving. Homan's goal is a complete drawdown which depends on cooperation from local officials. He said, “We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets.” Washington Hospital ends transgender mutilations The News Tribune reports a hospital in Washington State is ending its mutilating transgender surgeries. MultiCare Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma cited loss of funding under the Trump administration for the closure. President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order in January 2025, protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation. Last year, over 20 hospitals began rolling back such practices.

The traditional date of his death is February 3, A.D. 865. Anskar was known as the “Apostle to the North” for his work of evangelism in Scandinavia.   Historian A.D. Jorgensen wrote of the missionary, “He possessed a rare eloquence both in preaching and in common talk, so that he left on all men an extraordinary impression: the mighty and haughty were frightened by his tone of authority, the poor and humble looked to him as to a father, whilst his equals loved him as a brother. …. What he carried out in the thirty-­three years of his bishopric was of imperishable importance.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Why should anyone listen to these “unelected technocrats, the hedge-fund vampires, the NGO grifters, the media courtesans” adorned in cashmere sweaters and bespoke suits?

Air Date 12/22/2025 It's said that mockery is one of the most effective weapons against dictators. I guess it depends on your goal, but still, there's truth there. And the good thing in that regard is that they are so very mockable. No really nice, likable, non-clownish people make themselves dictators and so the people who do are, without exception, absolutely ridiculous lunatics who deserve all the mockery and disdain in the world.
