President Donald Trump's approval rating rebounded in August, according to Gallup, reaching 40% — a three-point increase from July. It's the first uptick since February. His economic approval held steady at 37%, while his foreign affairs rating slipped to 39%. Gallup also found a historic partisan gap: 93% of Republicans approve of Trump's performance, compared with just 1% of Democrats. Satisfaction with the direction of the country surged among Republicans but dropped to nearly zero among Democrats.

Have Americans changed their minds? Polling on immigration suggests a seismic shift in public opinion.According to Gallup, 79% of Americans now say immigration is a good thing for the country, which is a record high. Plus, the share of Americans who want lower rates of immigration has dropped from 55% in 2024 to 30% this year. And it's not just this poll showing a shift in how we think about immigration. But why has this change happened? And where might we see reverberations of this in our culture?

Children have been killed and injured while attending mass at their K-8th grade Minneapolis Catholic school. The 23-year-old shooter brought multiple firearms: a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun—all purchased legally and recently. President Trump has ordered flags lowered to half-staff, as did Minnesota's Governor Walz. Now, the FBI director says they are investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and possibly as a hate crime. Retired FBI agent and FOX News contributor Nicole Parker joins the Rundown to share where the investigation into this mass shooting may lead in the days to come as law enforcement searches for answers. A recent Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now believe moderate drinking is harmful to their health, contributing to a steady decline in alcohol consumption in recent years. Board-certified rheumatologist Dr. Mahsa Tehrani joins the podcast to discuss the link between alcohol use and increased cancer risk, the rise of the "sober curious" movement, and how this shifting public sentiment about alcohol consumption may influence upcoming revisions to the federal dietary guidelines.

Deb Coviello, the "Drop-In CEO," shares her transformative journey from a high-powered corporate role to a fulfilling career as an author, speaker, and consultant. Her story is a testament to the power of authenticity and the courage to embrace change. The Journey to Authenticity: Deb's career began in the corporate world, where she excelled in operational excellence and quality management. However, she reached a point where she felt something was missing. "I realized I was given a gift," Deb shares, reflecting on her decision to leave the corporate world and pursue her true calling. This pivotal moment led her to discover her authentic voice and redefine her career path. The Drop-In CEO: During a podcast interview, Deb coined the term "Drop-In CEO," a title that perfectly encapsulates her approach to leadership. "I drop into businesses, partner with C-suite leaders, solve issues, and build team confidence," she explains. This unique branding has become her hallmark, allowing her to differentiate herself in the entrepreneurial space. The CEO's Compass: Deb's book, "The CEO's Compass," offers a fresh perspective on leadership. It emphasizes the importance of peace of mind as the ultimate goal, rather than just chasing results. "We can fix people, processes, and platforms, but true success comes from achieving peace of mind," Deb asserts. Her compass guides leaders to reflect on their past, celebrate their achievements, and build trust within their teams.

But I don't want to focus on the Democrats right now. I want to focus on the Republican Party because one of the big things that's going to shape the midterms — which, make no mistake, are going to be nationalized — is how the American public feels about the GOP. That includes the party's overall image, the fact that they currently hold the House, Senate, and the White House, and the role of Donald Trump as president. Historically, that's usually the kiss of death in a midterm. The public looks at single-party control and, whether consciously or not, pulls back a bit. It's a check on power, and more often than not, it happens.I still believe, sitting here in late August of 2025, that Democrats are in a good position to take the House back in 2026. The redistricting mess adds some chaos, but even assuming that plays out neutrally or slightly in their favor, the historical precedent is clear — they should be competitive. That said, if we were heading toward something other than a typical midterm correction, you'd start to see signs. Not signs that Democrats are collapsing — that's already evident in other areas — but signs that voters are unusually comfortable with Republican governance.And you know what? Those signs are there.If I had to judge the early terrain by three hard metrics, I'd go with national fundraising, party registration, and the president's approval rating. Let's start with the money. The Republican National Committee currently has $65 million in cash on hand. That's not an overwhelming total, but it's strong — especially with a year to go. More importantly, it's four times what the Democratic National Committee has. The DNC is sitting on just $15 million. That gap alone is bad enough, but it gets worse when you factor in spending decisions like Proposition 50 in California. That fight — to temporarily override the independent redistricting commission — is going to vacuum up cash from the same organizations and donors who would otherwise be investing in House flips. So the Democrats are undercapitalized, and they're committing resources to side projects.Then there's registration data. According to a recent New York Times report, Democrats have lost 2.4 million registered voters in swing states that track party affiliation. In the same set of states, Republicans have gained nearly that same amount. That's a five million voter swing. It's not just that Democrats are losing — Republicans are growing. That kind of shift doesn't usually happen in the middle of a polarizing presidency. People don't suddenly start checking the box for the incumbent party unless something is resonating. And considering the kind of term Donald Trump is having — rapid policy implementation, constant headline churn, immigration crackdowns, inflation waves, even distractions like the Epstein debacle — you'd expect backlash. Instead, you get a net positive in party affiliation.That brings us to approval ratings. Trump's RealClearPolitics average stands at 46.3 percent. He's still underwater, with 50.8 percent disapproving. But let's add context. That number is higher than Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or even Ronald Reagan had at this same point in their second terms. That's unusual. And while being underwater is never ideal, that 4.5-point spread is about what you'd expect for Trump when you factor in how he's consistently undercounted in national polling. And the range of poll results is all over the map — Rasmussen has him up one, Harvard Harris has him down two, YouGov has him down 12, and Gallup just released a poll with him down 16. But even Gallup's number is an improvement from previous weeks, which suggests that Trump's “tough on crime” stance — especially in DC — is landing.So when I step back and look at the full picture, what I see is a Republican Party that isn't being punished. That might sound basic, but it's a big deal. Historically, you'd expect that by now — with the administration moving aggressively, Democrats hammering every misstep, and inflation rising — the electorate would be turning. But instead, Republicans have a funding advantage, a registration advantage, and a president who's polling better than most of his second-term predecessors.That doesn't mean they're going to hold the House. The historical pattern still favors Democrats picking up seats. But it does mean that the GOP is better positioned than it has any right to be under these circumstances. And if your theory of the midterms is based on Trump's agenda — the one big, beautiful bill, cutting Medicaid, handing out tax breaks, and all the rest — then you have to reckon with the fact that, at least for now, it isn't hurting them. Maybe that changes. But if this were going to backfire, I would have liked to have seen a little something from it by now.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:20 - Early Midterms Thoughts00:16:21 - Update00:16:42 - Abigail Spanberger00:23:47 - Trump's Chinese Students Plan00:27:55 - Lisa Cook00:33:54 - Interview with Amanda Nelson01:26:10 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Moms that Lead - Unlocking the Leadership Power of Healthy, Purpose-Driven Moms
Agility is one of today's favorite leadership buzzwords, but too often it gets reduced to simply moving faster. In this episode, we go beneath the buzzword to explore what true agility really means: the ability to adapt wisely and steadily in the face of uncertainty. Drawing on Gallup's latest global research, we'll look at why hope is now the number one thing people need from their leaders, and how stability and adaptability can actually fuel that hope. You'll hear how leaders can calm their own stress responses, hold space for multiple futures, and model steadiness that sparks possibility, even in the middle of change fatigue.________________________If you're tired of avoiding tough conversations or regretting how you handled them, the Courageous Conversations Leadership Sprint is for you.

Have you been at a party recently and found yourself reaching for sparkling water instead of a glass of wine? Join the club. A new Gallup poll found that Americans are drinking less than ever before. Only 54% of U.S. adults are reporting that they consume alcohol. That’s a record low since the survey company started asking about people’s drinking habits back in 1939. And young people are drinking less than older Americans, a trend we’re seeing in our region, too: The Seattle Times reports that young people - especially young men - are reporting lower alcohol consumption than other age groups in the area. We want to know how local businesses are navigating this -- and what could be behind this shift. Guest: Emily Ritchie, executive director of the Northwest Cider Association. Malcolm Purinton, assistant teaching professor of history at Northeastern University.

A lot has happened so far since President Donald Trump took office for a second term, but one thing is certain- he's indisputably unpopular. According to Gallup, Trump's six-month approval rating was around 37-percent, which is lower than that of any other president at that point in their presidency. That's, of course, with the exception of Trump in his first term. But polling can be confusing. Because while Trump's approval ratings have taken a dive, so has the Democratic Party's favorability. According to The Wall Street Journal, 63-percent of voters have a negative view of the Democratic Party. So where does that leave us? Can we trust the polls to tell us how Americans really feel? To find out more, we spoke with Crooked's resident polling expert, Dan Pfeiffer.And in headlines: President Trump hosts South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the White House, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a strike on a hospital in Gaza was a "tragic mishap", and Trump signs an executive order to crack down on anyone who burns or desecrates the American flag.Show Notes:Subscribe to Crooked's substack –crookedmedia.substack.com/s/exclusive-contentCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Decision Fatigue: The Hidden Productivity Killer There's a hidden productivity killer that's costing leaders—and the global economy—billions every year: decision fatigue. By mid-afternoon, your ability to make strategic, mission-aligned choices can drop by up to 50%, leaving you drained and reactive. The problem isn't your willpower; it's that your brain's limited mental energy is being sapped by countless trivial decisions throughout the day. This episode dives into a simple but powerful solution: creating a decision hierarchy that automates routine choices, systematizes others, delegates what can be passed on, and reserves your best mental energy for decisions that truly matter.

The upward trend isn't just statistical noise...
While alcohol consumption is cooling, the battle between clean-label ingredients and high-protein performance foods is heating up. The hosts examine what's driving these massive shifts in consumer behavior, and how brands like David, Crisp Power and Athletic Brewing are responding. Show notes: 0:15: Not Jail, Maybe. Chicago Dollars. Less Sauce, More Protein. Live In L.A. Hot Coffee. – Ray and Mike are “off the grid” this episode, but luckily, NOSH managing editor and CPG Week podcast host Monica Watrous steps in to join the conversation. The hosts kick things off by recapping the recent Taste Radio meetup in Chicago, which attracted over 100 attendees and showcased strong participation from investors. They also preview upcoming Taste Radio events scheduled for San Diego (September 16), San Francisco (September 18), and London (October 2). Next, they dive into insights from a new Gallup survey revealing that only 54% of Americans currently consume alcohol. The discussion centers on whether this decline signals a crisis for beverage alcohol companies or reflects a broader diversification trend driven by Gen Z's evolving habits, including increased adoption of cannabis products and functional beverages. Monica highlights two seemingly contradictory trends shaping food innovation today: MAHA, which emphasizes clean labels and natural ingredients, and the growing influence of GLP-1-informed eating, which promotes low-calorie, high-protein options. Looking ahead, the team offers a sneak peek at BevNET's three December conferences in Los Angeles: NOSH Live (December 4–5), BevNET Live (December 7–9), and Brewbound Live (December 10–11). Finally, Jacqui introduces a product from Fire Dept. Coffee, a veteran- and firefighter-founded brand now offering instant espresso stick packs, while Monica spotlights Crisp Power, a high-protein pretzel brand making waves in the snack category. Brands in this episode: Chomps, Athletic Brewing, David, RXBar, Fly By Jing, Jeni's Ice Cream, Carbon Foods, Fire Dept. Coffee, Crisp Power
For most of us, workplace engagement isn't a solo sport—it's a team one. The ADP (yes, the payroll people) Research Institute's study across 19 countries found that most of us, regardless of company size, are immersed in team life. In companies of 150 or more employees, 82% of employees work on teams, and nearly 3/4ths juggle more than one team. Even if your employer has fewer than 20 people, 2/3rds of us are teaming up on one, two or even three teams. This matters: team membership doubles our odds of scoring high on Gallup's engagement metrics, with this research concluding that the sweet spot belonging is being on five distinct teams. It is not just the number of teams, but whether we trust the team leader that can make us 12 times more likely to be fully engaged. Let's go back to the holy grail of Google's Project Aristotle, which took team-obsession to a new level. Google spent twp years studying 180 teams to crack the high-performing team code. They discovered that talent and resources aren't the magic ingredients—they're just the gravy. The meat and potatoes or tofu and rice for the team? Psychological safety—the freedom to speak up, take risks, and make mistakes without fear of public humiliation. It turns out, when people feel safe to contribute, they get bold, creative, and collaborative. Leaders create psychological safety with dependability, structure and clarity, meaning, and impact. McKinsey's research builds on this, showing that effective teams come in different “archetypes.” A cycling team is like a NASCAR pit crew—specialized, coordinated, but with independent metrics. Agile software teams are more like relay squads—high interdependence and shared outcomes, where dropped balls ripple through the race. Surgical teams? Think rowing crew—total synchronicity, clearly defined roles, and an unshakable sense of belonging. To truly hum, teams need to tend to their “health drivers,” grouped into four areas. Configuration means having the right roles and perspectives. Alignment is clarity on purpose and shared commitment. Execution covers collaboration, communication, decision making, and feedback. Renewal—the often-overlooked one—ensures long-term sustainability through belonging, psychological safety, recognition, and trust. Not every team needs to nail all of the team health drivers - of the 17 identified health drivers even top performing teams are only “very good” at about 11, which is like a C-! Four health drivers stand out as the performance heavyweights: trust, communication, innovative thinking, and decision making. Much of this is what we know - what is surprising is that just getting some of the elements that create healthy and effective teams right is a game-changer in the workplace.

Send us a textYour top performer just asked if you've heard of "quiet cracking"—and suddenly, this term is everywhere. Business Insider calls it the latest workplace buzzword.

With the healthcare landscape seeing many evolving changes, employee engagement is no longer just a buzzword—it's now a business imperative. Amid rising turnover and persistent staffing shortages, organizations are under pressure to build resilient, engaged teams. According to Gallup, 70% of the variance in team engagement is tied to one factor: the team's manager. As post-pandemic workforce challenges persist, this stat underscores the critical, yet often overlooked, role of middle management.So, how can healthcare leaders harness the influence of middle managers to build a stronger, more engaged workforce?That's the question at the heart of the latest episode of I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson. Joining him is Burl Stamp, President and Founder of Stamp & Chase, a consultancy focused on transforming workplace culture in healthcare. Drawing from his background as a former CEO of a hospital, Stamp shares insights into what truly drives engagement and why the real solution lies in supporting those caught between the C-suite and the frontlines.The key topics of conversation are…Burl believes that middle managers are more burned out than frontline workers, yet they hold the key to stabilizing teams and reducing turnover.From patient experience to staff satisfaction, communication remains the single most impactful skill in healthcare settings, and middle managers have to lead the charge.Burl addresses how generational changes and post-COVID values are reshaping expectations, making it vital to rethink management development and engagement strategies.Burl Stamp is the President and Founder of Stamp & Chase, a firm that helps healthcare organizations improve patient and employee experiences through leadership development and communication training. Prior to founding the company in 2003, he served as the CEO of Phoenix Children's Hospital and held leadership roles within BJC HealthCare in St. Louis. Today, his work centers on helping healthcare organizations navigate workforce instability by empowering middle management, a focus born from both personal experience and industry need.

Rupee Beer founders Van and Sumit Sharma believe they're ready to meet Indian cuisine's moment. On the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, the brothers share their journey of launching the Indian American beer brand during the COVID-19 pandemic as an add-on purchase at their family's restaurant. Today, Rupee has expanded distribution to 18 states – most recently California – and the Sharmas are readying for an “explosion” of Indian restaurants entering the U.S market. “We're doing something that really directly ties it into the only story that we know, which is restaurants,” Van Sharma said. “That's what we grew up in, more specifically, Indian restaurants.” Rupee's beer has found its way onto menus in Thai, Middle Eastern, Persian, Latin American and Caribbean restaurants. “Anywhere global flavor, spice, those things hang out, that's where we're operating these days,” Van Sharma said. “Legacy brands out there definitely paved the way, but we're doing something a little bit different, which also involves a little bit more of the local, craft American space as well.” Although the Shamras built Rupee's business primarily through the on-premise channel, they're now getting the attention of national retailers and they're leaning into their chain business. Rupee is bringing new innovation to the Indian beer segment, which hasn't seen an influx of new brands, Van Sharma said. Later in the episode, The Sharmas discuss their strategy for engaging consumers and gaining their attention in retail stores, as well as their approach to building their distribution network and where they want to go next. Plus, Justin, Jess and Zoe catch up on the latest headlines, including why it's not time to panic despite the Gallup survey's recent results on Americans drinking habits. They give a legal update on Uncle Nearest and the recipe agreement dispute between Schilling Cider and Incline. They also recap recent bev-alc experiences, from a growing dislike for black cherry flavors, to a sweaty trip to the Iowa State Fair.

We share our personal experiences with money narratives that shaped our views on wealth and success. From feeling guilty about charging for work we love, to the fear of being perceived as "slimy" when selling, we get real about how these beliefs can impact our businesses. You'll hear us discuss the importance of recognizing these narratives and how they can affect your mindset and performance. If you've ever felt stuck in your relationship with money or unsure about how to confidently ask for what you deserve, this episode is for you! Join us as we unpack these themes and encourage you to check in on your own money mindset. Let's break those blocks together!
The collective gasp from the press was loud enough to register on the Richter scale. They called him reckless, divisive, a threat to democracy. And what happened? The public nodded along and said, “Yup, he's right. Fake as a three-dollar bill.”Trump's branding of fake news wasn't just a catchy phrase; it was a cultural earthquake. The media's been bleeding trust since Walter Cronkite was still a household name, but Trump ripped the mask off. Gallup polls show trust in media at historic lows—down to 31% in 2024, and I bet it's even lower now. Why? Because the public's not blind. They see the spin, the selective outrage, the headlines that read like DNC press releases. And Trump? He's the guy pointing at the emperor's new clothes and laughing his head off.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Original air date: July 25, 2025 A new Gallup poll finds that President Trump's approval has dropped to 37 percent. But the White House has figured out how to get those numbers back up: by picking a huge fight with The View. This week, Joy Behar unleashed a striking takedown of Trump, mocking him mercilessly for being jealous of Barack Obama. This enraged the White House, which responded with name-calling and a veiled threat. Which got us thinking: Doesn't the logic of the situation dictate that Trump's authoritarian threats will of necessity escalate? We talked about all this with Salon's Amanda Marcotte, a good decoder of MAGA's cultural hatreds. We discuss why Behar's broadside was so perfectly aimed at Trump's soft underbelly, why Trump's only way forward may be more arrests, and how this whole saga shows that Trump thought the culture was moving his way—but it's not, driving him into a fury.

La première partie de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à l'actualité. Nous commencerons par évoquer une rencontre très attendue entre les présidents russe et américain. La réunion aura lieu demain en Alaska, mais elle fait déjà beaucoup parler. Trump va-t-il se laisser manipuler par Poutine… une fois de plus ? Prend-il le risque de devenir un Neville Chamberlain face à un Poutine version Hitler ? Ensuite, direction le Moyen-Orient. À ce jour, 147 pays reconnaissent l'État de Palestine. Et pourtant, cette reconnaissance arrive bien trop tard, et reste largement insuffisante. Dans notre section science et technologie, nous évoquerons une étude alarmante sur le nombre croissant d'articles scientifiques frauduleux. Et pour conclure cette première partie de l'émission, nous analyserons une récente enquête de Gallup qui révèle une tendance mondiale encourageante : le bien-être est en hausse. Jamais autant de personnes ne se sont senties aussi épanouies dans leur vie. Sur 142 pays, la part de ceux qui se disent épanouis n'a cessé de croître ces dix dernières années, tandis que celle des personnes en souffrance est tombée à seulement 7 %. Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. La leçon de grammaire portera sur The imperfect tense - the verbs of the first group. Cette semaine nous parlerons du petit village de Coulonces en Normandie qui reçoit périodiquement une visite insolite : un chevalier en armure y apparaît et disparaît depuis deux ans. Nous terminerons avec l'expression Avoir le bras long. Elle nous permettra d'évoquer une page intéressante de l'histoire de France avec le destin contrarié de Nicolas Fouquet, le surintendant des Finances de Louis XIV. - Les relations entre Trump et Poutine : un remake du pacte Chamberlain/Hitler ? - Les intentions récentes de reconnaître la Palestine sont jugées insuffisantes - Une étude alerte sur le nombre énorme de fausses publications scientifiques - Le bien-être au niveau mondial est en hausse, sauf dans les pays occidentaux les plus riches - Un petit village de Normandie reçoit de nouveau la visite d'un chevalier en armure - L'histoire de Nicolas Fouquet, le ministre des Finances de Louis XIV
Michael unpacks a startling trend: fewer Americans are drinking alcohol—and it's not just about health or cost. And people voting on today's Smerconish.com poll question first thing this morning were voting before listening to this episode...it's important, eye-opening, and isolating: Drawing from new Gallup data, cultural commentary, and The “Mingle Project,” he argues that a growing lack of social connection is to blame. Plus, reflections on the Ukraine war, the Trump-Putin summit. A must-listen on loneliness, polarization, and what we've lost in a screen-bound society.
Geanne Weaver-Hepler (Director of EX, Charlie Health), Allison Vendt (VP, People Ops & Head of EX at Dropbox), Nick Freeman (Co-CEO, Marco), and Brian Elliott (CEO, Work Forward) joined us to talk about what's broken with employee connection—and how to fix it. We explored practical frameworks for offsites, hybrid team building, and creating meaningful connection moments across distributed workforces.---- Sponsor Links:
La prima parte della puntata di oggi sarà dedicata all'attualità. Apriremo con l'attesissimo incontro tra i Presidenti di Russia e Stati Uniti, che si terrà domani in Alaska. Ma già ora non mancano gli spunti di discussione. Siamo certi che Trump non si stia lasciando manipolare da Putin… ancora una volta? Rischia forse di fare la fine di Neville Chamberlain, che negli anni '30 cedette troppo a Hitler? Poi ci sposteremo in Medio Oriente: sono già 147 i Paesi che riconoscono lo Stato di Palestina, ma questo riconoscimento arriva troppo tardi e in misura del tutto insufficiente. Nella sezione dedicata a scienza e tecnologia, parleremo di uno studio che lancia l'allarme sull'aumento preoccupante di articoli scientifici falsi. Concluderemo la prima parte con l'analisi di un recente sondaggio Gallup, che registra un'impennata del benessere a livello globale: mai come oggi così tante persone si dichiarano soddisfatte della propria vita. In 142 Paesi, la percentuale di chi afferma di “stare bene” è cresciuta costantemente nell'ultimo decennio, mentre quella di chi soffre è scesa al 7%. La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Interrogative Adverbs, Adjectives, and Pronouns: Gli interrogativi. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, incentrato sui risultati di uno studio che getta nuova luce sulla Sacra Sindone di Torino, una delle reliquie più enigmatiche e controverse della storia. In chiusura, ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: Mettere i puntini sulle i. Il dialogo in cui la useremo prende spunto da una misura senza precedenti: la Regione Sicilia intende offrire una serie di incentivi fiscali per attrarre soprattutto pensionati e imprenditori, invitandoli a trasferirsi sull'isola per viverci o investire. - Gli accordi di Trump con Putin ricordano il patto di Chamberlain con Hitler? - Le recenti intenzioni di riconoscere lo Stato di Palestina sono ritenute insufficienti - Uno studio statistico mette in guardia contro l'enorme numero di articoli scientifici falsi - Il benessere globale è in crescita, ma non nei Paesi occidentali più ricchi - La Sindone di Torino: reliquia o capolavoro Medievale? - Casa, sole e sconti fiscali: il piano della Sicilia ispirato al Portogallo
It's Thursday, August 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Indonesian Christian leaders urge government to protect religious liberty Religious leaders in Indonesia are calling on the government there to protect religious freedom. This comes after a string of attacks on Christian buildings in the Southeast Asian country. The Conference of Indonesian Catholic Bishops said, “Any act of intimidation, violence, or unilateral restriction of religious activities violates the law and undermines the fundamental values of life together as citizens of the same nation.” Indonesia is not currently on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. However, it has appeared on that list in previous years. Anglican Church of Nigeria horrified by lesbian bishop in Wales The Anglican Church of Nigeria cut ties with the Anglican Church of Wales over its election of an openly lesbian archbishop named Cherry Vann who is in a sexual relationship with Wendy Diamond. Rev. Henry Ndukuba leads the Anglican Church in Nigeria. He said, “The Church of Nigeria believes that this moment calls for prayer for the Church of Wales, hoping that the Church of England will not follow in her steps. We should hold them in our prayers with a clear message that hope lies only in true repentance and godliness.” To its credit, The Anglican Church of Nigeria previously severed ties with the Episcopal Church in the United States over a similar situation. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 warns, “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” British pro-lifer targeted a third time for praying outside abortion mill Police in the United Kingdom are investigating a woman for praying outside an abortion mill. It's the third time police have gone after Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, Director of the March for Life UK, over her silent prayers. West Midlands Police previously arrested her twice. Vaughan-Spruce won a settlement over the wrongful arrests worth about $17,500. However, officials continue to target her. Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom International, said, “We will continue to robustly challenge this unjust censorship, and support Isabel's right to think and believe freely.” Could Supreme Court overturn homosexual marriage ruling? In the United States, Liberty Counsel recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case of a Christian county clerk. Kim Davis, the former Rowan County, Kentucky clerk, refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples. She was the first victim to be jailed and sued following the infamous 2015 Obergefell ruling. The Supreme Court ruling legalized faux same-sex marriage nationwide. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Kim Davis' case underscores why the U.S. Supreme Court should overturn the wrongly decided Obergefell v. Hodges opinion because it threatens the religious liberty of Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.” U.S. debt hits $37 trillion The U.S. national debt hit $37 trillion for the first time, according to a Tuesday report from the Treasury Department. The national debt is projected to reach 99% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product this year which is the measure of the total economic activity within a country. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation noted that the debt amounts to $280,000 per household in America and is growing at over five billion dollars per day. Fewer Americans drink alcohol A survey from Gallup found that the percentage of Americans who use alcoholic beverages fell to a record low of 54 percent. Young adults are even less likely to drink alcohol at 50 percent. And for the first time, over 50 percent of U.S. adults say drinking one or two alcoholic drinks a day is bad for one's health. That number is up from 28 percent in 2015. Young adults are even more likely to say drinking is bad for their health at 66 percent. Gallup noted, “Declines in alcohol consumption do not appear to be caused by people shifting to other mood-altering substances.” Answers in Genesis announces Truth Traveler attractions in Pigeon Forge & Branson And finally, Answers in Genesis is opening two new Bible attractions, one in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and the other in Branson, Missouri. The Truth Traveler attractions feature a 5D experience that blends cutting-edge virtual reality, motion seating, and sensory effects to transport you through pivotal moments in Biblical history. The website says, “Feel the ground shake as the floodwaters rise, stand in awe at the towering walls of Babel, and witness history unfold in breathtaking detail.” Ken Ham, the CEO of Answers in Genesis, said, “Please pray with us that these attractions will reach thousands of families with the message of the truth of God's Word and the Gospel.” Psalm 111:2, 4 says, “Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. … He has caused His wondrous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 14th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

La primera parte del programa de hoy la dedicaremos a discutir la actualidad. Comenzaremos con la muy esperada reunión entre los presidentes de Rusia y de Estados Unidos en Alaska. La reunión es mañana, pero todavía hay mucho de que hablar. ¿Está dejando Trump que Putin lo manipule… de nuevo? ¿Se arriesga Trump a ser el Neville Chamberlain por el Hitler de Putin? Después pasaremos al Medio Oriente. Ya hay 147 países que reconocen el Estado de Palestina. Pero este reconocimiento llega demasiado tarde. En el segmento de ciencia y tecnología del programa, discutiremos un estudio que advierte del alarmante aumento de los artículos falsos de investigación científica. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa analizando una encuesta reciente de Gallup, que apunta a un aumento del bienestar a nivel global. Hay más gente que nunca que asegura estar prosperando en la vida. En los 142 países encuestados, el porcentaje de gente que asegura estar prosperando ha crecido de forma continua durante la última década, mientras que el porcentaje de quienes sufren ha bajado a solo un 7 por ciento. La segunda parte del episodio de hoy la dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Other ways to Express Future. En esta conversación hablaremos de la historia de la migración en España y discutiremos qué ventajas tiene para el futuro del país. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Sin prisa, pero sin pausa. La usaremos para comprender cómo se hizo la Transición española. Es decir, el paso de la dictadura del General Franco a la democracia después de la muerte del dictador. Un cambio que, hoy en día, aún se discute si se hizo bien. ¿Recuerdan las negociaciones de Trump con Putin al pacto de Chamberlain con Hitler? Las intenciones recientes de reconocer Palestina se consideran insuficientes Un estudio estadístico advierte sobre la enorme cantidad de artículos falsos de investigación científica que se producen El bienestar global está aumentando, excepto en los países occidentales más ricos Envejecimiento de la población en Europa La Transición española

Michael digs into the numbers, which reveal a surprising 20-point drop in drinking among GOP'ers.

Elon Musk tops Gallup's list as the most disliked public figure in America, sparking fiery reactions and sharp analysis on his political pivot, media portrayal, and cultural influence. Trump's bold response adds fuel to the fire in this explosive conversation.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Gaza Friday to tour an Israeli-backed aid site, amid growing global outcry over the country's handling of its war with Hamas. New polling from Gallup shows barely a third of Americans support Israel's actions in Gaza, a new low. And two Israeli human rights organizations last week concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a first since the start of the war almost two years ago. But as of now, there's no indication Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government have any plans to wind down the war. Yair Rosenberg, a staff writer at The Atlantic, talks about the ‘corrupt bargain' that went into the making of Netanyahu's coalition.And in headlines: White House officials defended President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after a bad jobs report, Texas House Democrats fled the state to block Republicans from redrawing the state's congressional map, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said it would shut down.Show notes:Read Yair's work - https://www.theatlantic.com/author/yair-rosenberg/Learn More About The Texas Redistricting Push - https://tinyurl.com/4x9f9ee8Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
