Remarkable prayer by HUD Secretary at White House On Saturday night, President Donald Trump asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, a former NFL football player, to open the National Governor's Association meeting at the White House with prayer. Listen. TRUMP: “I'd like to ask Scott Turner, who's our Secretary of HUD -- he's a great young man, and he's a tremendous, tremendous talent -- and I'd like to ask you to say grace. Thank you. Thank you, Scott, congratulations.” TURNER: “Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. Let's pray together. “Father, we're so grateful to have this opportunity to gather together, Father, for such a time as this, Lord. Father, we thank You for President Trump. Lord God, we thank You for the First Lady. We thank You for Vice President Vance and the Second Lady. Lord God, I pray that You will be an Iron Dome of protection around them and their families. Lord God, we thank you that You are a sovereign Father and You're a good, good Father. “And tonight, Father God, I thank You for the governors that have gathered here. Lord, thank You for their service. I pray You would give them wisdom and clarity and understanding. God, I pray You will be with them and their families. Lord God, I pray and thank You for my colleagues in the cabinet that are here tonight. “Lord God, we know that You have ordained this time before the foundations of the world. Father, we thank You tonight that, as we gather and as we fellowship, Lord Jesus, that You would be glorified. And Father, as President Trump as the leader of this nation, Lord God, as he every day, leads and serves, Father, I pray that You would give him great favor. God, I pray that You would open his eyes to see like he's never seen before, that You would open up his ears to hear Your voice. And Father God, you would give him divine insight and divine wisdom as he leads and serves this country. And Lord, tonight, we pray that the joy of the Lord would be our strength because we are happy tonight because You saw fit to bring us together. We love You. We honor You. … We give You the glory, in Jesus' name, Amen.” Trump rebukes Maine Governor in person over men in women's sports Later Saturday evening, President Trump talked to the fifty governors in the White House about his commitment to ban men from playing in women's sports. It was within this context, that he personally confronted Maine's  Governor Janet Mills, reports The Christian Post. Listen. TRUMP: “Two weeks ago, I signed an executive order banning men from playing in women's sports. Many Democrats are fighting me on that. I hope you continue, because you'll never win another race. It's just crazy. If you look at what happened with the boxing. If you look at what happened with the weight lifting numbers where a record that hadn't been broken for 19 years got shattered. A guy walks up, he had transitioned, and he knocked out that record by about 100 pounds. That would be a record not going to be broken again. So, we put a ban on it to protect women. If you watch the Olympics, you had two transitioned people that were fighting in the women's boxing, that women's boxing category, and if you saw that it was brutal. “The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good, but I understand Maine. Is Maine here? The governor of Maine? GOV Mills: “Yeah, I'm here.” TRMP: “Are you not going to comply with it?” MILLS: “I'm complying with state and federal laws.” TRUMP: “We are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it, because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports, so you better comply.  You better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any, any federal funding.” MILLS: “I'll see you in court.” TRUMP: “Every state. …  Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after Governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics. “Every state has a responsibility to comply with Title IX. They have an obligation, a legal obligation, and we'll be enforcing aggressively, and we're going to be protecting our citizens.” You can send Maine Governor Janet Mills an email through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com urging her to ban men from women's sports. Or you can send her a short, two-sentence letter. Governor Janet Mills, 1 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333. Genesis 1:27 says, “"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." Despite killing 392,715 babies, Planned Parenthood's tax funding up 43% A fact sheet produced by the Charlotte Lozier Institute based on Planned Parenthood's most recent annual report states that, since 2010, the Murder Giant's federal revenue has increased by some 43%. During that same period, its total services have decreased by 17%, with even larger percentage declines for particular services. Contraceptive services are down 39%, cancer screenings are down by 72% for breast exams and 74% for pap tests, and prenatal services are down by a whopping 80%. One so-called “service” at Planned Parenthood continues to increase, however: abortion. In the most recent service year, Planned Parenthood carried out 392,715 abortions, a record toll of death. Plus, its net income for the service year was $178.6 million, leaving it with net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. MSNBC fired Joy Reid And finally, MSNBC fired professional race baiter Joy Reid after she lost 28% of her viewership within the last year, reports Fox News. REID: “We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election, where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism. Namely, a far-right dictatorial regime like [Adolf] Hitler's Germany or [Francisco] Franco's Spain or [Benito] Mussolini's Italy.” Libs of TikTok tweeted, “Turns out calling your political opponents racist Nazis every night for an hour doesn't get viewers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

“One of the things that I discovered very quickly at HUD as a secretary, is that there are a lot of people on the hill who don't agree that people should be independent,” says Dr. Ben Carson. Policies that seemed geared toward making people more dependent on government seemed to be commonplace, and difficult to change, Dr. Carson adds. Alternatively, If people on housing subsidies weren't forced to report an increase in income straight away and have their rent go up, they'd have more incentive to find work. This is a step towards independence. Dr. Carson reflects on his time as HUD Secretary, under President Trump, and the kinds of shifts toward independence he saw in people, when government policy supported this. This includes the example of providing housing and employment for certain people with birth defects (like Down syndrome) under the public-private partnerships that HUDs opportunity zones facilitated. #BenCarson #HUD #Housing

Depending on where you live in America, it might be hard for you to imagine that some people in this country are without access to high-speed or broadband internet (or in some cases, they can't afford to buy access).

Our family has almost a secular faith in education.” — Henry Cisneros [11:24]“[Cities] can be masters of their own destinies, can be self-reliant entities, and do things of that nature [such as providing free college education] that they know they need for their goals.” — Henry Cisneros [14:32] “I wanted to do something in my life and my career of service that didn't include necessarily the formal establishment ways of service -- being in the military, being the foreign service-- but I fell in love with the notion of helping build the cities.” — Henry Cisneros [17:36] “What I found in the practices of the city government were so antiquated, so unfair, so unjust that I just couldn't abide it. And I ended up, quite against my own nature, being a firebrand, populace city council member.” — Henry Cisneros [21:24] “An entrepreneur sees a problem, and rather than walking away, it makes them crazy. And they try to fix it. They don't always succeed in fixing it, but that's what they try to do.” — Syd Finkelstein [23:22] “When you approach people with practical solutions instead of labels, like what is properly conservative or what is liberal, radical. When you're talking about solutions, you can get somewhere. We used to say, there's no democratic or republican-- no liberal or conservative-- way to pick up the garbage or to re-develop a neighborhood.” — Henry Cisneros [26:47] On place-based politics: “It's not about the department in Washington. It's not about the extended bureaucracy across the country. It's about how it appears on the ground… We kind of flipped the organizational chart upside down.” — Henry Cisneros [36:03]On the population growth in Texas: “Think about it, who's coming? It's people who are dissatisfied and escaping conditions in other states, which they regard as too progressive.” — Henry Cisneros [51:02]“A mix of things results in the Latino community not being the ingredient that's going to turn Texas blue. It's beginning to split.” — Henry Cisneros [52:23]“There's no longer broadcasting; there's narrowcasting.” — Henry Cisneros [53:43]“Learn all you can and keep an open mind. Think well of the world and other people, and let their ideas get into your world and ferment. You'll be a better person for it. You'll be a happier person. You'll be a unifier.” — Henry Cisneros [56:11]Resources MentionedInside Bureaucracy by Anthony DownsStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastHenry CisnerosWebsite: https://www.tripleipartners.com/henry-cisneros/ Linkedin: Henry CisnerosTwitter: @henrycisnerosSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.
