It's Friday, June 27th, 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 Adam McManus Pakistani Court acquits Christian man of blasphemy against Islam On June 25th, the Pakistani Supreme Court ordered the acquittal of an elderly Christian man on death row for 23 years on a blasphemy against Islam conviction, reports Morning Star News. A three-judge bench acquitted Anwar Kenneth, age 72, of the blasphemy allegations. His attorney, Rana Hameed, himself a Muslim, explained that a person of unsound mind could not be held liable for such a crime. He added that this case highlights the plight of dozens of other blasphemy prisoners who are also suffering from mental health challenges, yet their cases have been pending for years. Defense Secretary Hegseth defends success of bombing Iran Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended President Trump's characterization that the Iranian nuclear sites were obliterated. HEGSETH: “President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history. And it was a resounding success, resulting in a cease fire agreement and the end of the 12 Day War. “There's been a lot of discussion about what happened and what didn't happen. Step back for a second. Because of decisive military action, President Trump created the conditions to end the war, decimating, choose your word, obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities.” At a press conference at the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands on June 25th, Secretary Hegseth added this. HEGSETH: “There's a reason the President calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders -- the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory, flying 36 hours, on behalf of the American people and the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom. “And then, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York Times is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what the troops think. They don't care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. “What do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information, or just the part that they want to introduce? And when they introduce that preliminary report, that's deemed to be a low assessment, you know, a low assessment means low confidence in the data in that report. “And why is there low confidence? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by twelve 30,000-pound bombs is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated. So, if you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordow, you better get a big shovel and go really deep, because Iran's nuclear program is obliterated. “Somebody, somewhere is trying to leak something to say, ‘Oh, with low confidence, we think maybe it's moderate.'  Those that dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what happened when that exploded. And you know who else knows?  Iran! “That's why they came to the table right away because their nuclear capabilities have been set back beyond what they thought were possible because of the courage of a Commander-in-Chief who led our troops, despite what the fake news wants to say.” Supreme Court rules South Carolina can defund Planned Parenthood In a 6-3 decision yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the right to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, reports LifeNews. The pro-life state wants to be able to block taxpayer funding for the abortion business under Medicaid, but the abortion company sued to block that action. The Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the power to block funding. In the decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The high court's ruling means that the state can direct Medicaid funding—funds intended to help low-income individuals obtain necessary medical assistance—to comprehensive health care rather than entities that exist primarily to perform abortions. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster issued executive orders barring the pro-abortion organization from receiving reimbursements for non-abortion services like cancer screenings, STD testing, and contraception -- arguing that the funding just frees the abortion business to spend funds killing babies. Governor McMaster is living up to the command of Proverbs 31:8 which says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in. LEAVITT: “As for the Supreme Court ruling, the President has always maintained that Americans should not be forced to violate their conscience and their religious liberty by having their tax dollars fund abortions, and we're glad the Supreme Court ruled on that side.” Two who stopped gunman at Michigan church hailed as heroes Two members of CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan are being hailed as heroes for helping to stop a gunman who attempted to carry out a mass shooting during the church's worship service this past Sunday, reports the Christian Post. The men, Deacon Richard Pryor and Ron Amann, a member of the church's security team, are being celebrated for their efforts in stopping 31-year-old Brian Browning. According to the police report cited by the Detroit Free Press, Browning, the gunman, was dressed in camouflage clothing and a tactical vest as he approached the church entrance armed with an AR-15-style rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition. He opened fire at the church shortly after 11:00am. Steven Lewellyn, a fellow church member, wrote, "Richard was in the parking lot and saw the shooter walking towards the door. In a moment of quick thinking and incredible bravery, Richard sped towards the man, hitting him with his truck and giving armed security crucial extra seconds to get to the scene and prevent further harm." The gunman shot multiple rounds into the truck, but thankfully did not hurt Richard Pryor, who was running late for church that morning. Providentially, just three days before the shooting, Ron Amann told WXYZ that he was one of three members of the church's safety team who attended training at Peacemakers Shooting Range. AMANN: “When we formed this team, I just knew it was my calling to protect my family and my church family.” Amann described what he heard last Sunday. AMANN: "Popping, a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop noise that I couldn't quite identify. It stopped. I heard it again, and probably within a few seconds after that, someone came running in the back of the sanctuary and said, there's a shooter out there.” After he sent his family to safety, he ran toward the shooting. AMANN: "He [shooter] was sitting on the ground with a rifle, and he was sitting away from me, so he turned to make a sweep of the glass with his gun and just held the trigger and shot through. "He just started spraying bullets into the lobby, went through the glass, shattered it, and then, that's when it caught my leg and spun me around.” Another member of the church's safety team, Jay Trombley, fatally shot Browning. Amann is convinced that God prepared them for that moment. AMANN: “Being a person of faith and having a relationship with God, I believe He orchestrated all of the preparations and prepared us exactly for what we encountered.” Kate Dunphy, the organizer of the GoFundMe campaign for the church security volunteer who was shot in the leg, wrote, "Ron's tibia was shattered and required extensive surgery to place a rod at the leg injury. This injury will have approximately 3-5 months of physical recovery and rehabilitation. God spared Ron's life and was mighty in His protection over the security team and congregation.” She cited Psalm 37:23-24 which says, “The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when He delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.” I want to hear from children under the age of 18 I would love to share 3 emails on Monday, June 30th from kids between the ages of 5 and 17 who listen to The Worldview.  What do you like about this Christian newscast?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. Yes, sir. And we've got some great news from the Supreme Court this morning. The Supreme Court has ruled in the case of, Medina versus Planned Parenthood South Carolina, and it says states do not have to use taxpayer dollars to fund organizations like Planned Parenthood. Joining us right now is state representative Sarita Edgerton. Sarita, this is a big win for South Carolina, isn't it? Oh my goodness. It is. Every time we take a little bit back from the enemy that he's stolen from us or we've ceded ground and we take it back, I consider it a victory today, so I praised God today and prayed and thanked him for this win. It's a big win. It is a big win. In fact, the, the Freedom Caucus, has issued a statement. I just wanna read some of the of it here. We celebrate the US Supreme Court's decision to confirm that South Carolina has the right to withhold taxpayer funds from abortion mills. Organizations like Planned Parenthood not only kills infants in the womb, but have become the most prolific dispenser of chemical castration and sterilization chemicals of children. They don't deserve a tie a dime of taxpayer money. But the question is, Sarita, what is the state legislature gonna do about it? Well, I do have to say representative Steven Long put this trigger in, with his position on ways and means, and this is what caused this, case to be, taken up and and the state sued, that it was in our Medicaid. And so while we can take it out of our Medicaid, and I'm I'm sure we will, we've got some people who are gonna who's gonna fight for that. And we we've also have to address that it's also in our public employees benefits accounts. Right. That you can get abortions in certain instances using your state insurance. So if you're a legislator, a state police officer, any state employee who has PEBA, their entire money is going to, fund abortions and Planned Parenthood possibly in this state. So that was that like a gotta get both of those. Yeah. Was that a was that a carve out? I'm not entirely sure on that one, Charlie, but I'm gonna do everything I can, when we get back in session in January. See, if we had passed the personhood, SaniDa Right. Resolution Yeah. Governor McMaster could call us back. We could be working on this and have it ready to go, or we maybe could possibly be called back into session and and continue while the iron you know, you know, to fire while the iron's hot. But, I do have to say, we voted on a bunch of stuff, when the majority of the people of my own party down there did not want to have any appetite for life. They were worn out from the six week heartbeat fetal fetal heartbeat bill Yeah. And they didn't wanna continue to push for any pro we have pro life legislation to protect pregnancy centers. We have pro life legislation to get the abortion pill, to not be able to be ordered from out of state and brought into the state. We're still killing thousands of babies that way. We still have legalized abortion. There's many, many things that we could have done. So while I am celebrating today, that just makes my resolve even stronger to get into January 14 or thirteenth this next time. I think it's thirteenth this next time and hit the ground running with some legislation. We need to get this through committee. We don't need casino bills. Right. We don't need expanding alcohol sales and maternity leave for birthing people. This is the stuff we we tackle this year. We need to be protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Is I mean, it and I know it frustrates you because it frustrates me that here we are in supposedly ruby red South Carolina, and our state legislature acts like a bunch of Democrats. Well, ...

In a jam-packed broadcast, Tara peels back the curtain on a series of explosive developments the media won't touch. First, she reveals how South Carolina is quietly becoming a de facto sanctuary state — a consequence of Governor McMaster and other Republican leaders refusing to act on Trump's call to deputize local law enforcement as immigration agents. As a result, illegal immigrants are fleeing Florida and bringing violent crime with them, as seen in a horrifying double murder in Rock Hill. Next, Tara digs into the unraveling of the electric vehicle narrative. With plummeting EV demand, massive financial losses for automakers like Ford, and companies like Toyota and Nissan shifting to hybrids, the American public is rejecting the Democrats' green agenda. Even Elon Musk is backing away from political spending after years of trying to push innovation through a broken system. Finally, Tara tackles the biggest red flag of the day: Joe Biden's late-stage cancer diagnosis. With a medical history that doesn't add up, suspicious gaps in testing, and stage 4 cancer suddenly revealed, she questions who's really been running the country — and why the public is just now learning the truth. From Biden's border policies to his hidden health crisis, Tara demands accountability for a government that keeps gaslighting the American people. No spin. No filter. Just the truth.

Tara Servatius opens the phone lines for a special trial run of “Open Line Friday,” taking live calls from listeners on a range of hot-button issues. She explains her usual stance against calls during her high-stakes morning show, but makes an exception amid breaking news involving Rep. Nancy Mace and threats against her life. Topics include political intimidation, the refusal to prosecute threats, the impact of illegal immigration, and a tragic gang-style killing in South Carolina. Callers offer impassioned takes, including a new petition aimed at Governor McMaster. This episode dives deep into the intersection of crime, politics, and community action.

In this special "Open Line Friday" episode, Tara Servatius experiments with taking live listener calls, addressing why she typically avoids them during peak morning hours. The show dives deep into pressing topics, including Representative Nancy Mace's court appearance over an assassination threat, escalating violence tied to illegal immigration, and the Biden administration's border failures. Passionate callers weigh in on issues ranging from political violence and media bias to grassroots action—like a newly launched petition urging Governor McMaster to crack down on illegal immigration. Raw, real, and unfiltered, this episode captures the intensity of a nation on edge.

And welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. And and look at that. Hey. It's not raining. That's awesome. I was, out, walking the dogs this morning, and my neighbor walked out of his, his, garage there. And he goes, oh, look. It's sunny. I said, yeah. Right? I know how you feel, pal. I know how you feel. But don't you worry. We still got that little chance of rain coming in, pretty much for the rest of the week that's gonna be around with us. So there you go. The dogs are actually loving getting outside again. Well, I was thinking last night. I was standing at the window, my kitchen window, eating my supper because I don't know what it is. But I eat breakfast standing up, and I eat dinner standing up. I don't know why. Lunch, I sit down with my wife. That's our big meal of the, of the day is lunch. But for my dinner, I was standing there at the window as I'd eaten my salad, and, I got a thought. I got a thought about exactly what they're gonna be doing in Colombia, and it wasn't a good thought either. In fact, I'll tell you, it really is a good thought when I think about Colombia. I don't I don't remember last time I thought about Columbia fondly. It's been a long time, especially when our where our state legislature is concerned. So we know that governor Henry McMaster is real big for whatever reason. We don't know what the reason is, do we, governor McMaster? That he is all for this doctor Simmer to be the head of public health here in South Carolina. He's all for this guy. Even though this guy was all for mask mandates, he was all about the vaccines. He was all about vaccinating children, and we're finding out all of this stuff about the, these so called vaccines. More studies coming out every single day. And here we've got Simmer that was just a complete acolyte of doctor Fauci. He was I mean, in fact, I mean, you might even wanna say that that, Simmer is a Fauci wannabe. So because governor McMaster has somebody to make happy, he appointed doctor Simmer to be the head of public health in South Carolina. Now nobody wants this guy. I haven't talked to a single person. Not one single person said, you know, I think doctor Simmer would be a perfect fit. No. Everybody goes, lord, no. Keep that guy away from there. Get him out. We don't want him. So you had the senate bring it up. And we started talking about it on the program, and I I asked you guys to call your your state senator, and, boy, you did. You called your state senator like nobody's business, and they knew better. They knew better than to confirm this guy for the to be the head of the public health. So they they kinda dropped it. Kinda dropped it. They had a hearing. They had another hearing, and then you heard nothing else about it. Now the word is he never had the votes, so they didn't vote. He didn't have the votes, so they just didn't vote. And then it struck me last night. It struck me last night. Rather than doing what the people of South Carolina want, the governor is gonna do what he wants. He wants simmer because I don't know what favors he's gotta pay off. I don't know who he's gotta make happy, but he wants simmer in that post. So my thought was, you know what governor McMaster is gonna do? He's gonna make an off session appointment because you see the house and the senate, they're they're done for the year. They put in their fifty one days. They're done. We'll see you in January. Governor McMaster is going to appoint doctor Simmer in an off session appointment to be the head of public health here in South Carolina. That is going to happen. Go take that to the bank. That is absolutely gonna happen. And then what's gonna happen once the senate gets back in January? Well, number one, they're either not gonna bring it up. They're just going to well, that's and, basically, that's what's gonna happen. They're gonna get back in session, and they're just gonna let Simmer stay as the head of public health. That's it. Now I can imagine w ...

WLTX has more:   South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster says he wants to block TikTok on state government devices and has taken the first step to do just that, just days after a warning came from the nation's chief law enforcement officer.   McMaster made a request to the state's Department of Administration to block access to the popular social media platform on all government managed devices.  “Protecting our State's critical cyber infrastructure from foreign and domestic threats is key to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of our citizens and businesses,” Governor McMaster wrote in a letter. “Federal law enforcement and national security officials have warned that TikTok poses a clear and present danger to its users, and a growing bi-partisan coalition in Congress is pushing to ban access to TikTok in the United States.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Fall 2019, the Town amended its Comprehensive Plan to prioritize flood mitigation and sea-level rise risks. One of those risks identified was focusing on the other significant natural resource for Kiawah, the salt marsh. Through several community engagement initiatives (maybe a shout out to the Town's Flood Mitigation and Sea Level Rise Sub-committee and the Planning Commission on their efforts toward resiliency planning for Kiawah), the Comprehensive Plan was amended by Town Council to establish a new natural resources goal of formalizing a marsh management plan that explores various methods of protection for the Island's marsh.Both Biohabits and Elko Coastal Consulting collectively have been brought on to assist us with the Marsh Management Plan.Dr. Elko is President of Elko Coastal Consulting based in Folly Beach, SC;  Science Director for the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA); an Executive Director of the U.S. Coastal Research Program, and Executive Director of the South Carolina Beach Advocates.  She is presently serving as one of the three civilian members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Coastal Engineering Research Board (CERB) and as a member of NOAA's Hydrographic Services Review Panel (HSRP). Both the CERB and HSRP are Federal Advisory Committees that provide advice to agency leadership on national coastal research and development needs.  She served on Governor McMaster's South Carolina Floodwater Commission in 2019.  Dr. Elko received her Ph.D. (Geology) from the University of South Florida after working with the USGS Coastal Marine Geology Program, St. Petersburg, and while serving as the coastal coordinator for Pinellas County, FL.

Website: https://www.votetruckerbob.com/ Trucker Bob's Bio: Born November 5th, 1965 in Petersburg Virginia south of Richmond, and have called South Carolina my home since I moved to Simpsonville in 1997. I've been a Republican since I can remember, and I love South Carolina and what our constitution stands for. One of my most cherished memories is when I accompanied my mother, Brenda Musselwhite, to President Reagan's Inaugural Ball in 1981. I married my lovely wife Sharon in 1983 and managed the family furniture business in Virginia for over a decade, as we were blessed with a beautiful family of 7 children. During this time, I was also blessed to work along side Sam Walton of Walmart. In 1997, I fell in love with South Carolina and moved to Simpsonville, where I started my own furniture business, Mattress World, that spanned multiple states across the South East. My wife Sharon came down with a fatal lung disease, Sarcoidosis, and I had to make a choice between taking care of my wife and family, or my business, so I closed my business and took care of my family. It's because of my wife and her illness that I know the power of God first hand. The doctors said that she would never survive her illness, but I took care of her and we prayed. One day after many years of living with this terrible illness, she said that she felt like the nodules on her lungs were gone, and much to my joyous surprise, the doctors confirmed this. For us it was a miracle, and I've felt the calling to serve my fellow man ever since. After the Good Lord healed my wife, I went back to school at Destiny Bible College in Greenville South Carolina, where I specialized in bringing Christian values and ethics to business, and I decided to change careers and become a truck driver, delivering bulk chemicals nationwide, which is how I came by the name of Trucker Bob. After watching the outcome of the last presidential election and the overreach of the federal government since then, I felt the calling to become more active in our community politics. I'm currently serving as the Chairman of the Legislative Committee for the Greenville County Republican party, where I work closely with our South Carolina state Legislators to create Fair and Just legislation that protects the rights of ALL South Carolina citizens. After a number of my good friends passed away this year because they were unable to get the medical treatments they needed, I worked directly with our legislators to establish Monoclonal Antibody sites here in South Carolina, to save lives. I'm very proud to say that at least 6 peoples' lives in our own Greenville County Republican party were saved by these treatments, and many thousands more across South Carolina. I wasn't seeking to run for a higher office, provided that our representatives were respecting the rights of We The People and adhering to our Constitution, but when Governor McMaster broke his promise to We The People once again after saying that he would go to the “gates of hell” to defend our rights against the overreach from the federal government, I was called to say No More and announce my candidacy, along with my Lieutenant Governor ZOE Warren, for South Carolina Governor because We The People deserve better.
