It's Monday, March 16th, 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 400 Christians murdered in Congo in one year Christians are being attacked, murdered, and abducted in the Democratic Republic of the Congo every week, and the violence appears to be worse than ever, reports International Christian Concern. Between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025, the Institute for International Religious Freedom reported that nearly 400 Christians were murdered in the African nation of Congo. And this is only a fraction of the total violence being perpetrated. Rebel militias have gained vast influence over the Christian-majority nation due to extremist Islamist ideologies, years-long civil wars, and political upheaval. According to Open Doors, Congo is the 29th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. The persecuted Christians in Congo are no doubt praying Psalm 91 which says, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Surely, He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. … You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. … A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.” (verses 2,3,5, 7-8) Missile strikes U.S. Embassy in Iraq A missile has struck a helipad inside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq as President Donald Trump's war on Iran heads into its third week, reports The Daily Mail. Plumes of smoke were seen above the U.S. embassy in the Iraqi capital. The missile landed within the embassy's boundaries. Pentagon sending assault ship & 2,500 Marines toward Iran The Pentagon is deploying the U.S.S. Tripoli and 2,500 Marines to the Middle East after President Trump vowed Friday to unleash “unparalleled firepower,” reports the New York Post. On Friday morning, War Secretary Pete Hegseth gave this overview. HEGSETH: “With every passing hour, we know, and we know they know, that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate. They're confused, and we know it.  Our response? We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies.” Iran's blocking Strait of Hormuz leading to global oil price spike The deployment of the amphibious assault ship comes as the American military admits it's currently unable to break Iranian influence over the vital Strait of Hormuz as global oil prices spike.  The Strait of Hormuz is located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and is one of the world's most strategically important choke points. The expected two-week voyage from East Asia matches Energy Secretary Chris Wright's prediction of reopening the crucial waterway “by the end of the month.” Secretary Hegseth was perturbed by a CNN report that Iran's stranglehold of the Strait of Hormuz was a surprise. HEGSETH: “More fake news from CNN. Reports that the ‘Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the Strait of Hormuz.' “Patently ridiculous, of course! For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do: Hold the Strait hostage. CNN doesn't think we thought of that. It's a fundamentally unserious report.” Idaho House urges Supreme Court to invalidate homosexual “marriage” The Idaho House of Representatives has voted to reject the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges and urged the justices to reconsider the decision legalizing homosexual marriage nationwide, reports the Herzog Foundation. Lawmakers approved House Joint Memorial 17 last Tuesday in a 44-26 vote. All Democrats voted against the measure, and a small number of Republicans joined them. The resolution now heads to the Idaho Senate. The memorial states the Legislature “rejects the Obergefell decision” and “calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural definition of marriage.” Supporters say the 2015 ruling overrode the authority of states and ignored the will of voters who had already defined marriage in state law. The resolution says Obergefell “is at odds with the Constitution of the United States and the principles upon which the United States is established.” It also says the ruling “arbitrarily and unjustly” cast aside the historic understanding of marriage, which “has been recognized as the union of one man and one woman for more than 2,000 years.” Idaho Republican State Rep. Tony Wisniewski sponsored the memorial. He said supporters oppose “the debasing of the term of marriage to that of something that is abhorrent to many of us.” The memorial also points to Idaho voters' earlier decision on the issue. In 2006, 63% of voters approved Amendment 2, which added language to the state Constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Supporters argue the Supreme Court brushed aside that vote when it issued the Obergefell ruling. The resolution also states the decision “may have been illegitimately adjudicated” because two justices in the majority, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, had previously officiated homosexual weddings and did not recuse themselves. The memorial now moves to the Idaho Senate. The governor does not play a role because joint memorials do not require a signature. “Educated for Liberty” film urges Christian parents to wake up And finally, the rise of government-controlled schools and secular education has produced a decline of moral and academic excellence, which has led to a loss of liberty, reports The Providence Foundation. Schools have become progressively dangerous. Some of the most negative influences that young Americans can face today are found in public schools. Exposure to drugs, assault, rape, and murder are becoming more and more common. Radical transgender and homosexual ideology is promoted in classrooms, and reinforced by biological males having access to girls' restrooms and being allowed to compete in girls' sports. Well, there's a new Christian documentary out entitled Educated for Liberty. It urges Christian parents to pull their kids out of public schools and homeschool them or place them in private Christian schools instead. DAVID BARTON: “If you can't think biblically, then what you have is a bunch of secular-thinking people who attend church which will never change a community in the right direction.” RHONDA THOMAS: “We're not, as a church, raising up parents that understand their responsibility in the education of their children.” CAROL SWAIN: “Sunday School is fine. It's good. Vacation Bible School: Fine and good, but it's not enough.” CAROLE ADAMS: “Education is discipleship -- one way or another. Discipling our children in a secularized society, or it's discipling them to Christ.” CASEY GORDON: “How could you possibly segregate the concept of education from the duty and responsibility of the Christian faith, and that they should be trained in the Christian faith and in a Christian way?” ALEX NEWMAN: “For hundreds of years in this country, the Bible was the essential book. It was the foundation of everything. And yet, here we are where it's actually controversial that we should have the Bible in education. It's truly astounding.” MRS. SAM SORBO: “Give your children the Bible, and you give them an understanding of God, which is education. Then the world will become clear to them, and they'll be world changers.” Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Watch the film, Educated for Liberty, for free through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

This episode features University College Cork historians John Borgonovo and Hiram Morgan discussing the future of Irish historical scholarship after Ireland's recent “decade of centenaries,” which commemorated events like the Easter Rising and the Irish Civil War. As Irish history shifts from commemorating revolutionary milestones, it is moving towards addressing contemporary issues through historical perspective—such as immigration and multiculturalism in modern Ireland, environmental degradation and land use, the legacy of colonial economic systems, debates about Irish neutrality and European security, and the ongoing constitutional future of Northern Ireland. In this conversation with Center Director Joseph Lennon, they explore the democratizing impact of digital archives like CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts), the role of diaspora narratives in connecting Irish history to global migration stories, and the importance of humanities disciplines in an age of AI and digital information. They remind us that history is not only about the past but also a tool for interpreting present challenges and informing cultural, political, and ethical debates in contemporary society.John Borgonovo is a Senior Lecturer in the School of History at University College Cork. He has published extensively on different aspects of Ireland's First World War and Revolutionary experiences. He was a co-editor of the critically acclaimed Atlasof the Irish University which was made into a television series. An active public historian, John frequently appears on Irish television and radio.Hiram Morgan (born Belfast, 1960) is a historian at University College Cork, where he has lectured since 1996. Educated at St Patrick's College Knock and the University of Cambridge (BA–PhD), he is the author of Tyrone's Rebellion (Royal Historical Society, 1993) and editor of several volumes including Political Ideology in Ireland (1999) and The Battle of Kinsale (2004). He co-founded History Ireland magazine and has published widely in peer-reviewed journals. Morgan currently directs CELT, the Corpus of Electronic Texts at UCC, one of the world's largest digital resources for Irish studies.

Organizations spend billions of dollars every year on leadership training, workshops, and development programs. Yet most of it doesn't change anything. Why? Because most training educates the mind but never moves behavior. In this episode of The Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond breaks down why leadership training so often fails in organizations — even when the content is excellent. You'll learn: • Why training transfer rarely turns into behavior change • How leadership modeling determines whether training sticks • Why off-the-shelf leadership programs rarely solve real problems • The difference between knowledge and behavioral reinforcement • What leaders must do if they want training to actually work If the behaviors in your workplace haven't changed after the training ended, this episode will explain exactly why.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030326.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, reminds us that true love begins with God and flows outward to every human soul. He explains that those who love themselves more than God impose heavy burdens on those around them, while those who love God above all seek to lift the weight from others. In this spirit, St. Katharine Drexel, born into immense wealth in 1858, chose to see the world through God's eyes.Educated by devout parents, she inherited more than $7 million — a fortune that would equal hundreds of millions today. Yet she recognized that money was not as valuable as the good works it could perform.. Guided by the prophetic call “wash yourselves clean … make justice your aim,” she turned her inheritance into works of mercy for orphans, widows, African‑American families, and the Native‑American peoples.She requested missionaries for Wyoming from the Holy See, and the Pope's reply — “why don't you become a missionary?” — sparked a radical conversion. She surrendered her fortune, prompting headlines that read “Drexel Gives Up $7 Million.” From that surrender sprang 51convents, 60schools, and 145 missions across the United States, including Xavier University, the first historically Black Catholic university.For St. Katharine, the Eucharist was the living source of every act of charity. She taught that when we behold Christ hidden in the Sacrament, we also see Him hidden in each person we serve. The humble sacrifice of the Mass empowers us to love without selfish gain, inspiring and enabling her own life of self‑offering. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send me a messageChris Green is The History Chap; telling stories that brings the past to life.The story of Philip Neame, the only man to be awarded both the Victoria Cross and an Olympic gold medal.Ways You Can Support My Channel:Become A PatronMake A DonationOther episodes that you might enjoy:Adrian Carton de Wairt - the Soldier they couldn't killWilliam Coltman - Britain's Version of Hacksaw Ridge He won the Victoria Cross in the trenches of the First World War. He won Olympic gold at the 1924 Paris Games. To this day, no one else has ever achieved both. This is the extraordinary story of Sir Philip Neame VC — soldier, sportsman, prisoner of war, and member of one of Kent's most famous brewing families.Born near Faversham in 1888, Philip Neame grew up in the family behind Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer. Educated at Cheltenham College, he trained at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich and was commissioned into the Royal Engineers. When war broke out in 1914, he was serving at Gibraltar but was quickly recalled to join the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Within weeks of arriving in France, the young sapper found himself in the thick of fighting at Neuve Chapelle, where a desperate situation with faulty grenades and improvised fuses led to an astonishing act of bravery that earned him the Victoria Cross — one of 628 awarded during the entire war. He was just 26 years old.Neame served throughout the First World War, was awarded the DSO, mentioned in dispatches ten times, and in 1920 was among the 75 VC holders who formed the guard of honour at the burial of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. But his story was only getting started. At the 1924 Paris Olympics — the games immortalised in Chariots of Fire — Neame was part of the British shooting team that won gold in the Running Deer Double Shot event, beating Norway by a single point in a dramatic finale.It was a triumph largely forgotten in the shadow of Abrahams and Liddell, yet Neame's unique double of Victoria Cross and Olympic gold has never been matched in the century since.Transferring to the Indian Army, Neame survived being mauled by a tiger, married the nurse who saved him, and returned to Woolwich as its last ever Commandant before the Second World War intervened. Sent to North Africa as a lieutenant general, he was captured during Rommel's first offensive in Libya alongside fellow general Richard O'Connor — making them among the most senior British officers taken prisoner in the entire war. Held at the Castello di Vincigliata near Florence, a medieval fortress turned special POW camp, Neame used his engineering skills to design the escape tunnel through which two New Zealand brigadiers made it all the way to Switzerland. He himself escaped in September 1943 during the chaos of the Italian Armistice, eventually reaching Allied lines and meeting Churchill in North Africa before arriving home on Christmas Day.Support the show

Ronnie had a particularly difficult time choosing what to read this year, but when the Wuthering Heights trailer popped up, she jumped on the chance to reread this classic. This is not an endorsement of the film, and you'll hear a few of our opinions about it as we discuss the novel, but we try to stick to the text. Wuthering Heights, in our opinion, is usually mistaken for a romance when it's really a gothic horror. The novel follows Catherine, Heathcliff, and their families as the story winds its way toward revenge.    Next month's read is Ian's choice, and he picked: Educated, by Tara Westover!

How can the visual arts be used to promote peace? Professor Mitchell investigates how the visual arts can not only incite violence, but also bear witness, reveal dangerous memories, transform violence, contribute to healing trauma and imagine more hopeful futures. Examples are taken from both current conflicts (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine) and past wars (Paul Nash and Otto Dix in the First World War, local artists in the Iran-Iraq War and the 1984 Rwandan genocide). Professor Mitchell analyses the ambivalent role of the visual arts in building peace.This lecture was recorded by professor Jolyon Mitchell on 11th February 2026 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonProfessor Jolyon Mitchell is Principal of St John's College, Durham and a Professor at Durham University who specialises in Religion, Violence and Peacebuilding, with reference to the arts and media. Educated at the Universities of Cambridge, Durham and Edinburgh, Professor Mitchell worked as a Producer and Journalist with BBC World service and Radio 4 before moving to the University of Edinburgh where he served as Director of CTPI (the Centre for Theology and Public Issues at the University of Edinburgh) and Academic Director for IASH (Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities). He is a former President of TRS-UK (2012-2018 - the national association for Theology and Religious Studies in the UK). He is author or editor of over a dozen books, as well as many chapters and articles, including Promoting Peace and Inciting Violence: The Role of Religion and Media (Routledge, 2012); Martyrdom: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2012); Religion and War: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2021), Religion and Peace (Wiley Blackwell, 2022), Picturing Peace: Photography, Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding (Bloomsbury, 2025) and Media Violence and Christian Ethics (CUP, 2007). He is currently finishing a book on A Passion for Performance: The mysterious resurgence of religious drama (OUP, 2027). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), an honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and a life member of Clare Hall, at the University of Cambridge. Professor Mitchell has also served on international film juries at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals. He directs several projects on Peacebuilding, including one which led to a widely used co-edited volume on Peacebuilding and the Arts (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020). He has also worked with Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders, as well as Palestinian and Israeli journalists, on a peace building project in Jerusalem and beyond. A keen cricketer and former marathon runner, he has lectured all over the world. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/peacebuilding-artsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: Podcast regular, United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, humanitarian, loving father, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin Annett Kevin's journey began in the quiet pursuit of faith and community service. Educated at the University of British Columbia and ordained as a minister in the United Church of Canada, he initially sought to bridge divides in a fractured society. While serving as a pastor in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Kevin stumbled upon a nightmare concealed in plain sight: survivor testimonies revealing systematic abuse, torture, murder, and cultural genocide inflicted upon Indigenous children in church-run residential schools. These institutions, operated jointly by the Canadian government and churches including the United Church, Roman Catholic, and Anglican denominations, were sites of unimaginable cruelty - hiding the evidence of a deliberate campaign to erase Indigenous identities.Today, Kevin is coming on the show for a much-needed breath of fresh air conversation and moment of grounding. With all the heaviness of trauma and the joy of validation circulating the news, internet, and our hearts regarding the new Epstein revelations, emotions are high and many survivors and people are struggling with balancing both the gratitude and excitement of this information being seen by a majority audience and the destabilization of contending with actually being seen as a survivor as well as seeing all the horrors populate every social media feed and large account as if it were entertainment or a Hollywood movie. Kevin is going to spend some time grounding us -  talking about topics we can all get behind and need right now such as how to endure, what we can do now that the Epstein Files are out and this information can no longer be called ‘conspiracy', the act of forgiveness, and of course how to continue to have hope through it all. No one is better at giving hope than Kevin and my hope for all of you is that this episode will help you breathe easier and feel empowered and clear instead of exhausted and overstimulated.KEVIN'S PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoojlrL9wVRN_v7TS1h-yVZ2VCmkT8ET6CONNECT WITH KEVIN: Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724 Websites: -Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books -'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3YXK0F0a1YCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginatiSupport the show

Budget uncertainty is driving just about every conversation – on tax policy, on education, and definitely on health care. This week, producer Logan Finney discusses why tax conformity, often a formality, has become a real debate this session. Then, Kevin Richert of Idaho Education News talks about looming budget cuts and how they might affect public schools, higher education, and everything else.

Rural students are unlikely to pursue degrees from private, selective schools. Why? And what happens to the handful of rural students who do attend elite colleges, colleges that may feel worlds away from home? Educated Out shows how geography shapes rural, first-generation students' access to college, their college experiences, and their postgraduation plans and opportunities. These students discover that home and college are very different worlds—and, over time, they start to question both. As they near graduation and navigate a job market in which the highest-paying and most prestigious opportunities are located in urban centers, they begin to feel the complicated burden of their schooling: they've been “educated out.”  In addition to advocating for a higher education landscape that truly includes rural students, Dr. Tieken critiques a system that requires people to leave their rural homes in search of opportunities. Without meaningful change, some students will have to make the impossible decision to leave home—and far more will remain there, undereducated and overlooked. Both engaging and accessible, Educated Out presents important and timely questions about rurality, identity, education, and inequality. Our guest is: Dr. Mara Casey Tieken, who is associate professor of education at Bates College. She is the author of Educated Out; and Why Rural Schools Matter. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is an academic writing coach and editor. She is the producer and show host of the Academic Life podcast.

Rural students are unlikely to pursue degrees from private, selective schools. Why? And what happens to the handful of rural students who do attend elite colleges, colleges that may feel worlds away from home? Educated Out shows how geography shapes rural, first-generation students' access to college, their college experiences, and their postgraduation plans and opportunities. These students discover that home and college are very different worlds—and, over time, they start to question both. As they near graduation and navigate a job market in which the highest-paying and most prestigious opportunities are located in urban centers, they begin to feel the complicated burden of their schooling: they've been “educated out.”  In addition to advocating for a higher education landscape that truly includes rural students, Dr. Tieken critiques a system that requires people to leave their rural homes in search of opportunities. Without meaningful change, some students will have to make the impossible decision to leave home—and far more will remain there, undereducated and overlooked. Both engaging and accessible, Educated Out presents important and timely questions about rurality, identity, education, and inequality. Our guest is: Dr. Mara Casey Tieken, who is associate professor of education at Bates College. She is the author of Educated Out; and Why Rural Schools Matter. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is an academic writing coach and editor. She is the producer and show host of the Academic Life podcast.

Bryan Kohberger studied crime for a living. Michael McKee allegedly studied his ex-wife's home for hours before he came back to kill her. Both believed preparation was protection. Both were wrong.Kohberger—the criminology doctoral student who pled guilty to the Idaho student murders—turned his phone off during the killings but created a traceable return route when it came back online. McKee allegedly achieved a 17-hour phone blackout by leaving his device at the hospital where he worked. On paper, that's smarter. In practice, police tracked his vehicle arriving in Columbus before the murders and leaving after. They found it in his workplace parking lot with fresh scrape marks where a sticker had been hastily removed.The pattern goes deeper. Kohberger's phone pinged near 1122 King Road 23 times in the months before the murders. All between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. He was watching. McKee allegedly made a reconnaissance trip to the Tepe home on December 6, 2025—24 days before the murders—spending hours on the property while the family was at the Big Ten Championship game. According to the affidavit, Monique Tepe left the game early, upset about something involving her ex-husband. She may have seen him on her security cameras.The indictment says McKee used a suppressor. That's why no one heard shots. But the ballistics matched anyway. NIBIN linked the gun found at his Chicago condo to casings at the scene. Intelligence creates arrogance. Arrogance creates blind spots. And the system only needs one mistake.#TrueCrimeToday #BryanKohberger #MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #IdahoStudentMurders #ColumbusOhio #Premeditation #CriminalMindset #JusticeForVictimsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two men. Two elite educations. Two alleged murder sprees months apart. Bryan Kohberger—criminology PhD, studied crime scene processing at the doctoral level—pled guilty to killing four Idaho students in November 2022. Michael McKee—vascular surgeon with more than a decade of surgical training—stands charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in December 2025. The methods allegedly used in both cases reveal a chilling pattern.Both men allegedly turned off or abandoned their phones during the murder window. Both allegedly surveilled their targets beforehand—Kohberger's phone pinged near the victims' house 23 times over four months; McKee allegedly spent hours on the Tepe property during a reconnaissance visit while the family was out of town. Both allegedly used vehicles that became key evidence despite countermeasures. And both allegedly believed their intelligence made them exceptions to the rule.The indictment against McKee includes a six-year specification for using a firearm suppressor. A silencer. That's why no neighbors heard shots. That's why no one called 911 until Spencer didn't show up for work the next morning. If the allegations are true, this was equipment procurement for murder. Professional-grade planning for a deeply personal crime.Kohberger left DNA on a knife sheath. McKee allegedly left a ballistics match through NIBIN. The smartest thing either could have done was the one thing obsession wouldn't allow: nothing. This episode breaks down the pattern of educated killers—what they get right, where they fail, and why intelligence becomes its own trap.#HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #MichaelMcKee #TepeFamily #IdahoMurders #EducatedKillers #Premeditation #CriminalPsychology #TrueCrimePodcast #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students. Michael McKee stands charged with executing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in their Columbus home. One was a criminology PhD student. The other is a fellowship-trained vascular surgeon. Both allegedly believed their intelligence would protect them from investigators. Both were wrong.When you compare what we know about how each man allegedly operated, the parallels are disturbing. Kohberger turned his phone off for two hours during the Idaho murders—but it came back online and traced his route home. McKee allegedly left his phone at the hospital for 17 hours straight, creating a complete blackout during the time police say he drove 325 miles to kill two people and drove back. Better operational security on paper. Same result in practice.Kohberger's white Hyundai Elantra was captured on 17 surveillance cameras. McKee allegedly swapped stolen Ohio plates and Arizona temp tags on his silver SUV—but the vehicle was still registered to addresses in his name. Police tracked it to his workplace parking lot. Fresh scrape marks showed where he'd hastily removed a sticker that was already documented in pre-murder footage.Both men allegedly conducted surveillance before striking. Kohberger's phone pinged near the King Road house 23 times in the months before the killings. McKee allegedly spent hours on the Tepe property during a reconnaissance trip 24 days before the murders—while the family was at the Big Ten Championship game.Intelligence got them into elite programs. It didn't get them away with murder. This is the pattern of educated killers who think preparation equals protection—and discover that knowing what investigators look for isn't the same as avoiding it.#BryanKohberger #MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #IdahoMurders #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrime #CriminalPsychology #EducatedKillers #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode #475: “So many peoples in Myanmar who are fighting for democracy and human rights... they don't get any title or any recognize, but they did what they believed in.” Wut Hmone Win carries a legacy of resistance that began long before her. Her father, a student leader in the 1974 uprising involving U Thant's funeral, was imprisoned for his defiance of Ne Win's regime, and her family lived under surveillance. “The whole life of me and my family is [being] watched by the military,” she says. That experience taught her that freedom always has a cost. Educated in economics in Yangon and Norway, she had once hoped to live an ordinary life, free from politics. But when the 2021 coup struck Myanmar, the safety and democracy she enjoyed in Norway became unbearable reminders of what her people had lost. “I am living in Norway. I feel democracy and freedom and safety here, and human rights,” she says, with the understanding that all of this was lost completely back home. Within days she began organizing protests, helping to found the CRPH Support Group, Norway—a coalition of over twenty-one ethnic and religious organizations fighting for Myanmar's democracy from exile. As General Secretary, she oversees its humanitarian aid programs and international advocacy. “I do need money to support people who are suffering in Myanmar,” she says. “That's my simple strategy… we do need to support human rights… we do need [to be] shouting out loudly effectively.” Wut Hmone Win is critical of diaspora groups that remain confined to their own circles. “They are [remaining] in their own group, and that is a limited amount,” she says, emphasizing the need to reach Norwegians who “don't know about Myanmar.” Traveling beyond Oslo, she holds cultural events in towns like Lillehammer to “show our culture, dancing and then what happened in Myanmar.” For her, crossing those boundaries is how the revolution's voice can truly be heard. “We are standing here like a diaspora group in Norway,” she says. “We do need support, and we do need [recognition] too.”

The prosecution has surveillance footage. A ballistics match. An alleged suppressor. But if you're defending Michael McKee, the holes in this case are where you live.How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? Prosecutors haven't explained it publicly. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory — but until they disclose it, that's a gap the defense can exploit.There's no disclosed motive. McKee and Monique divorced years ago. Police confirmed there were no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee — no 911 calls, no restraining orders, no documented threats. No ongoing disputes. So why would a surgeon with everything to lose allegedly drive to Ohio and kill two people?Defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the defense's options. McKee is a vascular surgeon. Intelligent. Educated. Trained in precision. The prosecution's theory requires him to allegedly commit premeditated murder, use a suppressor — and then keep the murder weapon in his own apartment. How does the defense reconcile that with the profile of a careful, calculating person?McKee "disappeared" in the months before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he just vanished. The prosecution might call that consciousness of guilt. The defense might call it a man moving between jobs.Both Spencer and Monique were shot multiple times. Does the manner of the killings help or hurt the defense? Could they argue this looks more like rage than premeditation — even with the suppressor allegation? Motta breaks down the strategies available and what it would take for McKee to walk.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #DefenseStrategy #NoForcedEntry #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution has surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and an alleged suppressor. But tonight we're looking at the McKee case from the defense's perspective — because every case has holes, and this one has several.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to analyze the gaps prosecutors still haven't filled. How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? No broken windows. No kicked-in doors. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory — but what is it?There's no disclosed motive. No prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee. No restraining orders. No 911 calls. No documented conflict in the years since the divorce. If you're the defense, do you lean into that — argue the state can't explain why your client would do this?McKee is a surgeon. Intelligent. Educated. His career is built on precision. The prosecution's theory requires him to allegedly drive to Ohio, use a suppressor to commit murder — and then keep the murder weapon in his apartment. How does a defense team reconcile that with the profile of someone who plans meticulously?McKee "disappeared" before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he vanished. Is that consciousness of guilt — or a man between jobs?The suppressor allegation — was it legally owned or illegally obtained? That question matters. Both victims were shot multiple times. Does that help or hurt the defense?Motta predicts where this case goes: conviction, acquittal, or hung jury — and what McKee's team needs to do to create reasonable doubt.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #TepeMurders #DefenseStrategy #NoForcedEntry #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Carrie talks with Lorena about her program educating millions of school kids around the world on issues with our food systems (especially with animal agriculture and commercial fishing) and talking with classmates and their teacher to consider the environmental, nutritional, public health, social, and/or ethical issues with our industrial food practices, and what the students want to do about it to be part of the solution. To tell us about the Educated Choices Program nonprofit and all their freely available, scientifically-backed videos and lesson plans for teachers K-12 and college level is their Founder & CEO, Lorena Mucke.

We have the honor and privilege to talk to Josh Marshall and Grandpa Ray Elkins in this banger of an episode. Muskies pounding, old scar back, jointed Pikey's with glass eyes, Dennis and Jerry, piss on the plate, trolling for dogs and lot's more. Grandpa talks about spawning muskies, tells amazing stories and tells us how they used to do this thing called Musky fishing back in the day. Sit back, strap in and get ready for a 3-4 hour ride.

Episode 2870: Dr. Margaret Rutherford explores the hidden emotional toll of enmeshment, when a parent relies too heavily on their child for emotional support and identity. She reveals how this dynamic stifles independence, breeds guilt, and leaves adult children struggling with boundaries, self-trust, and autonomy, while also offering guidance on how to break the cycle and heal. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drmargaretrutherford.com/when-a-parent-needs-too-much-what-is-enmeshment-and-how-does-it-hurt-a-child/ Quotes to ponder: "If the parent represses the girl's (or boy's) anger not just once but over and over again, a deeper injury occurs: the girl will eventually dismantle her anger response." "When the child reaches adulthood, they can be stricken by guilt for simply wanting and needing their own life." "Your task is to build your own sense of identity, while learning to share in healthy supportive relationships."

Our society and law have progressed from prohibiting access to contraceptives in 1879 to a Supreme Court argument this week about human sexuality to U.S. Senator Josh Hawley asking a Doctor if a man can get pregnant. Why has this "evolution" occurred and gone in only one direction? And why don't we ask "Why" questions anymore? It's all of one piece. Something fundamental is missing in our thinking. {My reference to Kansas should be Nebraska]

Our society and law have progressed from prohibiting access to contraceptives in 1879 to a Supreme Court argument this week about human sexuality to U.S. Senator Josh Hawley asking a Doctor if a man can get pregnant. Why has this "evolution" occurred and gone in only one direction? And why don't we ask "Why" questions anymore? It's all of one piece. Something fundamental may be missing in our thinking.

An eye-opening look at how all American workers, even the highly educated and experienced, are vulnerable to the stigma of unemployment. After receiving a PhD in mathematics from MIT, Larry spent three decades working at prestigious companies in the tech industry. Initially he was not worried when he lost his job as part of a large layoff, but the prolonged unemployment that followed decimated his finances and nearly ended his marriage. Larry's story is not an anomaly. The majority of American workers experience unemployment, and millions get trapped in devastating long-term unemployment, including experienced workers with advanced degrees from top universities. How is it possible for even highly successful careers to suddenly go off the rails? In The Stigma Trap: College-Educated, Experienced, and Long-Term Unemployed (Oxford UP, 2024), Ofer Sharone explains how the stigma of unemployment can render past educational and professional achievements irrelevant, and how it leaves all American workers vulnerable to becoming trapped in unemployment. Drawing on interviews with unemployed workers, job recruiters, and career coaches, Sharone brings to light the subtle ways that stigmatization prevents even the most educated and experienced workers from gaining middle-class jobs. Stigma also means that an American worker risks more than financial calamity from a protracted period of unemployment. One's closest relationships and sense of self are also on the line. Eye-opening and clearly written, The Stigma Trap is essential reading for anyone who has experienced unemployment, has a family member or friend who is unemployed, or who wants to understand the forces that underlie the anxiety-filled lives of contemporary American workers. The book offers a unique approach to supporting unemployed jobseekers. At a broader level it exposes the precarious condition of American workers and sparks a conversation about much-needed policies to assure that we are not all one layoff away from being trapped by stigma.
