Five years later, Victor Davis Hanson takes a hard look at real aftermath of Floyd's death on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ There was $2 billion in damage. There was a police precinct burned to the ground, in Minneapolis. There was a federal courthouse that was burned. There was a historic St. John's Church—across from the White House—that was torched. A mob tried to go into the White House grounds and reach the president.” “And the country now is learning it's lessons. It's trying to find a sober solution. A reaction. I think they're trying—we're trying to come to a conclusion. Why in the world did we go completely collectively insane?” (1:27) Background on George Floyd (2:49) The Aftermath and Riots (5:00) Systemic Racism and Anti-Racism Movement (5:55) Impact on Universities and Society (7:01) Current Reflections and Conclusions (8:55) Closing Remarks and Call to Action

It's been five years since widespread protests erupted after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020.That murder, and the resulting national protests, led to numerous calls for police reform in communities around the country.But the politics of policing have changed since 2024. Perceptions of crime and its relationship with immigration were central issues during the last presidential election, particularly for the Republican Party.And now, the Trump administration says it's undoing recent federal efforts to supervise police reforms in certain cities. We discuss where the end of those efforts leaves cities and police departments trying to be more accountable to those they're supposed to serve and protect.Want to support 1A?

But it doesn't have to! Often money arguments belie fundamental communcation problems, and YNAB can help by clarifying for both partners what the goal is for your dollars and whether that is aligned with your shared values.   Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow   Got a question for Jesse?

Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey has advice for... Terrance in Staten Island – There’s this chick at my job that came out and said she knows I’m married but she wants me to come to dinner at her house. My mind says no, but my body wants to go to see what she’s cooking. Is it too dangerous to swing by her crib? Mikayla in Charleston – I have had many lovers and I didn’t mind being honest with my boyfriend because his body count is high as well. It’s his boys that are giving him a hard time and making him second-guess being with me. Why are men being catty like girls? Delaino in Minneapolis – I had a date with a woman that said she is a high-value female. Her purse and shoes said otherwise, so I thought she was trying to use me for an overpriced meal. I didn’t go to the restaurant of her choice. I choice a less expensive one. Now she won’t talk to me. Did I do the right thing or play myself? Amber in Kansas City – My boyfriend and I took a break and I got pregnant by someone else. I got back with my boyfriend but now my child’s dad is back in my life, talking about a marriage.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the original submission.A path to healingRuth Sloven is a St. Paul-based artist. She recommends the group exhibition “WITNESS עֵד,” a group art show by Jewish artists for Palestinian liberation, at Modus Locus in Minneapolis.Ruth says: This exhibit includes ceramics, sculpture, community, quilting, painting and video. Many of the works are traditional Jewish subjects, which have been repurposed in non-traditional ways. What I'm excited about is that it's a doorway into experiencing and expressing the grief about the destructive war in Israel and Gaza, and hopefully can be part of a path to healing.— Ruth SlovenStop, collaborate and listenJoseph “JoJo” Howsley is a music enthusiast based in Fargo. He recommends a showcase by Human Artistic Collaborations on Saturday, May 31, starting at 6 p.m. at Brühaven in Minneapolis.Joseph says: I met Kyle Krause last weekend. He is the head of Human Artistic Collaborations, whose aim is primarily to champion human-led art in a space that's constantly being inundated by artificial intelligence.They're doing an event with one of my favorite producers in the scene. His name is Deerskin, and they have over, I believe he said, 12 artists who will be showcasing and selling their art.— JoJo Joseph HousleyEpp squaredKari Olk is a Brooklyn-based teaching artist who grew up in Minneapolis. She recommends “Orlando: A Rhapsody,” playing at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis through June 8.Carrie says: “ORLANDO: A Rhapsody” by Vinora Epp and Steven Epp is a thoughtful reflection about art, gender, storytelling. It's both based on Virginia Woolf — a few of her writings: “The Waves,” “A Room of One's Own” and, of course, “Orlando” — and it's also combined with writing from Vinora and Steve. To see them working together is really special. And so it's really exciting to see her directorial debut, and it's really exciting that she's doing this work with her dad, Steve. The story of “Orlando” is a story about a person who, over 300 years, goes back and forth between being a young woman and a young man, and they both perform as Orlando, and they both perform as versions of themselves.— Carrie OlkCorrection (May 29, 2025): An earlier version of this story misspelled Kyle Krause. The story has been updated.

At the beginning of May, the National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, announced a plan to develop a universal vaccine platform. Think: a single shot for flu or COVID-19 that would last years, maybe a lifetime. The plan—called Generation Gold Standard—has a reported budget of $500 million, and a tight deadline. But will it work? And where does the science on this actually stand? In this live broadcast, Hosts Flora Lichtman and Ira Flatow talk with epidemiologist Michael Osterholm and vaccine researcher Ted Ross.Guests: Michael Osterholm is Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Dr. Ted Ross is the global director of vaccine research at the Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Caitlin Clark has been carrying the WNBA on her back — now she's hobbling off with a quad injury that yanks her from the MVP race for two weeks and threatens a billion-dollar hype train. Jason lights the match with a “Cait fan fatigue” fire starter, asking whether nonstop Clark-mania just backfired on the league. From there, the show barrels into Minneapolis, where the Lynx paused for a 2025 George Floyd moment of silence, and then to Los Angeles–Chicago, where the Sparks and Sky ditched the national anthem entirely. Are virtue signals now tip-off rituals? Steve Kim swings by to autopsy the WNBA's self-inflicted wounds — and to unpack why Shannon Sharpe suddenly scrubbed his Nightcap Tour. Jay Skapinac drops in to react to Anthony Edwards' blunder in Game 4 versus OKC. ​​Today's Sponsors: Relief Factor With Relief Factor, you'll feel better every day, and you'll live better every day.

Episode 511 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features Mike Breen, the lead NBA game-caller for ESPN and ABC. Breen will be the play by play voice of the NBA Finals, which will be his 20th straight NBA Finals, the most any play-by-play voice has called consecutively. In this podcast, Breen discusses what is unique about calling games in Oklahoma City and Minneapolis; how surreal it would be to call the Knicks in the Finals given he is the long time play-by-play announcer for Knicks telecasts on MSG Networks; whether people outside of New York care about the Knicks;  calling Game 5 of the 1994 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets as O.J. Simpson led Los Angeles police on a low-speed chase after a warrant for his arrest was issued in connection to the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman; adjusting to significant analyst turnover over the last few years; his interest in how NBC and Amazon will put on NBA games; being part of Hubie Brown's last broadcast; NBA viewership and more.

A series of events gets underway today in Minneapolis to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd and the racial justice movement that it sparked. A moment of silence will be held this afternoon at the intersection of 38th and Chicago where Floyd was killed.The Minneapolis Park Board is closing some parking areas around Bde Maka Ska earlier in the evening. That change is in response to safety concerns stemming from large groups gathering in those parking lots at night. The Park Board said those groups have engaged in “disruptive, illegal, and sometimes violent conduct.”The Timberwolves lost to the Thunder last night in game two of the NBA's Western Conference championship series 118-103. The Thunder now lead a best-of-seven series 2-0. The Minnesota Frost beat the Ottawa Charge 2-1 last night to knot the PWHL's Walter Cup finals at a game apiece. Britta Curl-Salemme scored both Frost goals.

Cindy Wilson returns to the podcast to discuss this amazing episode Check out Cindy’s newest book, We Suffered Much: Charles Wood Irish and the Dakota Territory Railroad Survey of 1879-1881 https://www.amazon.com/We-Suffered-Much-Territory-1879-1881-ebook/dp/B0D3S7ZTMH Episode: The Empire Builders (Season 9, Episode 9) Air Date: November 22, 1982 Writer: John T. Dugan Director: Joseph Pevney IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 In The Empire Builders, Walnut Grove buzzes with excitement over a new railroad depot, promising jobs and growth. However, the Minneapolis and Western Railroad, led by Spencer Hollingsworth, plans to seize farmers' lands, including Almanzo Wilder's and John Carter's, via eminent domain. Initial enthusiasm sours as the town realizes the cost: evictions and a rowdy railroad camp complete with a saloon. Almanzo and Carter, backed by Isaiah Edwards, resist, facing threats from railroad enforcer Wilkins. Laura rallies the women to join the men in a standoff at Carter's farm, while surveyor Hobson proposes rerouting the tracks through Tracy. The community's united front forces Hollingsworth to relent, sparing Walnut Grove. The episode, a blend of drama and defiance, showcases the power of collective resistance against corporate overreach, with Laura's fiery leadership and Carter's final triumph underscoring the town's love for their land. Some Quotes I Chose “Money won't buy happiness, but you can look for it in fancier places.” “Property is property. What we own is what we work and sweat for.” “What we own is a part of us.” “This land… It's part of us now.” “I'm a lot tougher than you think, Mr. Wilder.” “This is our land, and we fight for it together.” The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.

This month we've seen many special events marking five years since the murder of George Floyd.  He died on Memorial Day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes during an arrest.  What followed was chaos and many uncomfortable conversations about race. In 2021, MPR launched a podcast called Early Risers to help parents talk to kids about race. It was created in partnership with Little Moments Count, which is a collaborative of organizations working to improve interactions between parents and their children. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the original host of the Early Risers podcast, Dianne Haulcy, and the current host, Andre Dukes.  She asked them how it's going, and if we have made progress in engaging children in conversations about race. Guests: Dianne Haulcy hosted Early Risers until 2024. She is now the assistant commissioner of early childhood at the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Andre Dukes is the current host of Early Risers. He has spent the last decade of his career focused on child development and academic success in north Minneapolis. He is also the vice president of Family and Community Impact at Northside Achievement Zone, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

It was Memorial Day weekend, five years ago, when George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Bystanders recorded the nine-plus minutes that Chauvin calmly kneeled on Floyd's neck, as the Black man pleaded for help and air. That video rocketed from phone to phone, from media to media and sparked worldwide protests against police brutality.But for the Black community in Minneapolis, Floyd's murder was just a chapter in a much longer story.Long before 2020, people had been organizing, creating and demanding change. Certainly, in the immediate aftermath of Floyd's death and Chauvin's 2021 conviction, progress was made. Businesses and institutions promised to invest in racial equity, to develop new community practices, to reckon with systems of harm.But in the neighborhood where Floyd lived and died, has that change taken root? That was the question at the center of a North Star Journey Live event hosted by MPR News host Angela Davis earlier this month. On May 6, a cross section of Black community leaders came together at Pillsbury House Theatre to talk about real change, deep healing and defiant hope. The conversation was candid, often surprising and ultimately inspiring.

It's been five years since George Floyd died after he was handcuffed and pinned down by a white police officer in Minneapolis. Video of his last minutes went viral, and nationwide anti-police protests and riots erupted across the country. Reforms were made in some cities, and the Biden administration's Justice Department established federal oversight agreements with police departments, including those in Louisville and Minneapolis. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with former Federal Prosecutor James Trusty about how the death of George Floyd put a spotlight on police practices and created political pressure to change the way departments operate. Now, you'll hear the full interview where Trusty evaluates whether those changes have been effective and discussed the Trump administration's recent decision to roll back some of the federal reform agreements that were made following Floyd's death.

John 6:60-71,When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him. “Here you go, take a look at this.”That's really all I said, but I'll tell you the whole story …Years ago I worked for a Christian resource ministry called Desiring God (it's a ministry we're still connected to and love) — well, back in those days our office was on Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis, and for a short season I worked in the customer service department. My desk was closest to the door right next to the sidewalk, and from time to time if we had a visitor drop in, it was part of my job to greet them.So one day a gentleman came inside and he said that he'd like to discuss how we could all work together to blend several different religions to become one. He said it didn't make any sense for religions to be divided because they all basically ‘believed the same things.' This guy was a seeker, and I wasn't trying to discourage him from that, but I told him that all religions did not believe the same things, and that the Christian gospel is unlike anything else, and as a example, I said “Here you go, take a look at this” … I handed him a book then titled, What Jesus Demands of the World by John Piper — it's a book 50-chapters long, and each chapter focuses on a different command Jesus gives, and I figured that if the guy read some of the things that Jesus actually said, he'd change his mind. Well the guy came back the next week and he was mad. He gave me back the book and said, “I'd like to teach a thing or two to the author of this book!”He had read what Jesus says and he was offended … and I still think about this from time to time, and I wonder: Why exactly was he offended? What part in particular did he not like? And then the bigger, existential question: Why was he offended by what Jesus says and I'm not (or at least not ultimately)?This is the question: Why do some people love Jesus and others don't?You ever thought about that before? Our passage today is all about this. At the end of Chapter 6, the longest chapter in the Gospel of John, we're going to see the human response to what Jesus has said and there are two main lessons we find here — and the relevance of these lessons will become obvious. I think we're gonna be able to see ourselves in this passage, but before we look at the first lesson, let's pray again and ask for God's help.Father, you know better than any of us all the different places we're coming from this morning, and you know what you want to say to us through your word. Would you, in these moments, open our hearts to hear from you? Give us humble hearts to receive the words of your Son, in faith. We ask in Jesus's name, amen.The first thing we learn in this passage …1. Those offended by Jesus are expected.Here at the end of Chapter 6, John narrows the focus from the “crowd” (which he's mentioned four times in this chapter) to now he says “disciples.” But when he uses the word “disciples” here, he's not thinking about the twelve disciples, but he's talking about followers of Jesus more generally. So imagine three categories of people: There's the “crowd,” the broadest number of people who had the miracle lunch (10,000 or more when you count men, women, and children).Then there's “the Twelve” mentioned in verse 67 and 70 (these are the twelve disciples whose names we know; they were closest to Jesus).But then, in the middle, there's who John calls “disciples” — which is less than the crowd but more than the Twelve. Somewhere in-between (these are folks who followed Jesus after the miracle lunch and they've heard all of his teaching in Chapter 6).And according to verse 60, of this middle group, these more generic disciples, “many” of them did not like what Jesus was saying. The collective voice of these disciples is at the end of verse 60. They said:“This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”They're talking about all that Jesus has been teaching, but especially the part about his flesh and blood, and we know from verse 61 that this was a grumbly statement. Jesus knew they were grumbling. Verse 60 was not a humble, teachable response — they weren't saying, “Jesus, we don't get it, would you help us get it?” — nah, they were frustrated with him — which means they were angry.You Ain't Seen Nothing YetAt the beginning of this chapter these people were well-fed, now they're fed-up, and look what Jesus says to them at the end of verse 61. He says, “Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? …”What Jesus does here is really important. There's a tone I don't want us to miss. So just to make sure, everybody find Jesus's question there at the end of verse 61. I'm gonna read it again. I want you to get it. Find verse 61. That question at the end, Jesus says:“Do you take offense at this?”He's saying: Do you take offense at this, my teaching? Oh you ain't seen nothing yet!Jesus is saying: You think my teaching is difficult. You don't like what I'm saying. Just wait until you see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before!That's verse 62 — now what is Jesus talking about?Well, at one level, Jesus is talking about the final manifestation of his true identity. We know from the start of this Gospel that Jesus is the Word who was in the beginning. Jesus was with God, Jesus is God! — Jesus is God the Son, the one through whom all things were made, and he has all authority over all things, and in his ascension he is going to resume his seat on his throne in glory. That's in view here.But also, on another level in the Gospel of John, the event of Jesus's exaltation — his resurrection and ascension — is combined with the path he takes to get there, which is the path of his cross. So in this Gospel, Jesus being “lifted up,” before it means lifted in glory, it means lifted in shame. Before the ascension of Jesus took him up above the heavens, he was nailed up on a cross. And John, the writer, intends that double meaning of ascension in this Gospel.Tripping Over the TreeSo Jesus, in verse 62, is talking about his cross, and he's arguing here from the lesser to the greater. The cross of Christ is the ultimate scandal. It's the most offensive fact of Jesus — that the Messiah would be crucified! That's outrageous! It's insane! So Jesus is saying: If you can't handle my teaching (lesser), there's no way you're gonna be able to handle my crucifixion (greater). The teaching of Jesus is small beans compared to how he's going to be killed. See, Jesus is explaining in verse 62 — If you're bothered by my sayings, just wait until my sacrifice. If the difficulty of my doctrine undoes you, what about the degradation of my dying? If you're troubled by the truth you'll certainly trip over the tree.And this kind of tripping, this stumbling over the cross, is to be expected. The apostle Paul tells us this, 1 Corinthians 1:21, “It pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles…”The cross of Christ has been the problem for people going on now for two thousand years, and it's still the problem today. In fact, today, there's a lot of people who would at least ‘say' that they like the teachings of Jesus. Now they have his own version of his teaching — they're probably not thinking about the over 20 times he talks about hell — but overall, most people are okay with Jesus as a moral teacher.It is his cross that is offensive. Why? It's because the cross makes a very negative assessment of humanity. Because the first thing the cross says is that we are all sinners who need to be saved. Bad News FirstA few years ago I met a neighbor at a coffee shop and I invited them to our church, and they asked me right away, “Oh, is your church affirming?” Now, they were talking about gender and sexuality issues, but I just told them that our church doesn't affirm anybody — “All are welcome, none are affirmed!” — now I didn't make that up, but that's what I said — none of us are affirmed and that's why Jesus had to die!Jesus didn't come into a world full of people who were doing okay without him. He came into a world of sinners destined for God's wrath and at the cross he says to every single one of us: You are separated from God! You deserve judgment! You are wrong!People don't like to hear that. That's a “hard saying.” And it's so hard to hear that some people can't get past that bad news part to the good news part. But listen to the good news!At the cross, Jesus is not only saying “you're wrong,” he's also saying “You're loved!” You're wrong and you're loved!It's not just that you're so sinful and screwed up that I had to die for you, it's that you're so loved that I willingly died for you.I came to die for you. I pursued the cross for you.Nobody takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord, and I laid it down for you!Look, get this: if we don't know we're sinners, that love means nothing to us. But if you can handle the bad news first — if you can not be offended by the first part — then the second part is the greatest wonder in all the history of the whole world. Jesus Christ really loves you.But many people never get there. It's a fact. We learn here it's expected. We know from Jesus, from Paul, from history — those offended by Jesus are expected.Now, here's the second thing we learn in this passage.2. Those called to Jesus will come and stay.We start to see this in verse 63, and speaking of unpopular teachings of Jesus, this one could be top of the list. Not only are we all sinners, but Jesus says in verse 63:“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.”In other words, Jesus is saying, You can't save yourself! … You need to be saved but you don't have the power to do anything about it. But Jesus says he does — “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” John is reminding us in verse 64 that Jesus is fully aware of how everything will play out, but this is a hard saying:You all need to be saved, you can't save yourself, only I can save you, and some of you won't be.Then verse 65 is most clarifying. Jesus explains, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”Does everybody see that in verse 65? Do you hear what Jesus says? Nobody can come to Jesus unless the Father grants them to come. That's what he says! And oh, we humans don't like that! You mean to tell me that the most ultimate decisive factor in the universe is not my own will but it's God?!Yeah, exactly. That word “granted” in verse 65 means simply to give; and “coming to Jesus” is another way to talk about faith — therefore, Jesus is saying that our faith in him is a gift from God. If any of us has faith in Jesus it's because God gave it to us. And Jesus is just repeating here what he's already said twice in Chapter 6.Verse 37:“All that the Father gives me will come to me…” Verse 44:“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.”Effectual CallingThis is the biblical doctrine that historically has been called “effectual calling.” You hear that? Effectual calling.The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith has an entire chapter titled “Effectual Calling.” (The same teaching is found in our Leader Affirmation of Faith, see 8.3.) But in the 1689 Confession, Chapter 10, paragraph 1 reads like this: Those whom God hath predestinated unto life, He is pleased in His appointed and accepted time, effectually to call, by His Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ …Paragraph 4,… [others] not being effectually drawn by the Father, they neither will nor can truly come to Christ, and therefore cannot be saved …And the footnote attached to this sentence says “John 6:65” — that's our verse. Believer in Jesus, this is your story. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings here, but look, the reason you believe in Jesus is not because you're smarter than people who don't believe. It's not because you're better. It's not because you're lucky.It's because the Father granted you to come. Why are we here this morning? Why am I here? God is why! It's because of God. It's because he chose me before the foundations of the world and in his timing he effectually called me! Paul tells us the same thing again in 1 Corinthians 1. Go back to 1 Corinthians 1:23, … but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.If Jesus Christ is wonderful to you, that is God's doing. He called you. And this is really good news.Look at this — verse 66…You Leaving, Too?After Jesus said verse 65, this middle group of ‘disciples' had enough. Verse 66:“Many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.”They basically proved his point. And then in verse 67 Jesus looked at “the Twelve” — so this is not the middle group anymore, these are his closest disciples, his chosen Twelve — Jesus looked at them and said,“Do you want to go away as well?”And man, what a question! Do you hear that question? Jesus is gentle and lowly, and he's direct and to-the-point. And as this middle group is thinning out, he says to his Twelve, Y'all leaving too?Christian, Jesus asks that same question to you. I've heard him ask me that. I'm almost 40 years old, which is not old, but I'm old enough to know of too many people who have “turned back and no longer walk with him” … and every time I find out about somebody else, I hear him ask me: You leaving too?You've thought about it. At some point, if it hasn't yet, it's going to cross your mind. Would I — could I — ever want to do life without him? …The answer is No.We answer again and again the way Peter answers here in verse 68. This is Peter's highest moment, in my opinion. It's very similar to his confession of Jesus in Matthew 16. Peter says the right thing here.Called and KeptJesus says,“Do you want to go away as well?”Verse 68,And Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”Jesus, we're not going anywhere. We know who you are. You're the Messiah! You're the Holy One of God. You're the only one who can give us life.And in Matthew 16, after Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah, Jesus repeats the same theology there that we see here. He says in Matthew 16, “For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven” (see Matthew 16:17). Jesus says here in verse 70:“Did I not choose you, the Twelve?”So just in case we were to think too highly of Peter (some do) — in case we were to give Peter the credit for his right answer — Jesus reminds us one last time that he's the one at work. He's the chooser. He's the revealer. He's the Savior. And if you're called, you're kept.This is why the call of the Father is such good news. Look: if our faith was something that we could accomplish, it'd also be something we could lose. If we came to Jesus on our own, then we could leave him the same way.God the Father is the reason we come to Jesus, and that is the reason we stay.For Our SecurityJohn mentions Judas again in verse 71 as a reminder that Jesus is sovereign over it all. Jesus is not surprised by anyone who leaves him. He knows those who are truly his — and he's gonna tell us more about this in Chapter 10, but the goal here, like it is there, is not our unsettledness, but our security. Jesus is not teaching us this so that we say, “Oh no, what if I'm not called?” He's teaching us this to assure us that our faith is grounded in a reality much stronger than ourselves. He's giving us a behind-the-scenes look here. It's like he's saying: this is what is going on at headquarters, but your concern is the field-assignment, and that is to believe. Our concern is to come to Jesus and to keep coming to Jesus — that's what we do — and we do it in the confidence that God is working. Those offended by Jesus are expected; those called to Jesus will come and stay — and if you're here this morning there's good reason to believe that you've been called (because you believe in Jesus!) — or you're being called today …The Gospel of John compels me to go here, and to invite you, everybody in the sound of my voice who has not come to Jesus yet, you can come to Jesus today. You can take that step. Verse 37, Jesus says,“All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”The Father is working. Take the step. Come to Christ! Trust in him! Say to him, from the heart:Jesus, I can't save myself and I'm done trying!You came to save me by dying on the cross and being raised from death!I put my faith in you!That is a prayer of faith, and that's what brings us to the Table. The TableAnd for those of us who have come to Jesus, who trust in Jesus Christ, this morning we can rest in the fact that he's our Savior, not ourselves. He called us, he keeps us, thanks be to God!We receive this bread and cup in that miracle. That's why this Table is for Christians. If you believe in Jesus this morning, we invite you to come to him yet again, and give him thanks!

On the eve of the five-year commemoration of George Floyd's death, the Trump administration is withdrawing Department of Justice (DOJ) oversight for police departments in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Louisville, and other cities where the DOJ previously found civil rights violations against Native Americans and other people of color. Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis police officer prompted global calls for accountability for long standing inequities. Now, Native American racial justice advocates say any progress toward improving unbalanced treatment by law enforcement agencies is stalled, at best. We'll assess the direction of racial equity in the criminal justice system over the five years since George Floyd's high-profile death.

Today's Headlines: Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia passed away at 75 from esophageal cancer, just weeks after announcing he would not seek re-election and being named the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Meanwhile, President Trump hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, derailing trade discussions by screening a video alleging a white genocide in South Africa—claims Ramaphosa rejected. This comes as the administration continues to deport refugees from numerous countries while welcoming white Afrikaners. Separately, the DOJ has launched a criminal investigation into Andrew Cuomo over his COVID-era decisions as governor, raising suspicions of political motives ahead of his likely NYC mayoral bid against Eric Adams, whose own federal charges were recently dropped. The DOJ also announced it will dismiss police reform consent decrees in Louisville and Minneapolis and rescind earlier findings against the Phoenix Police Department, effectively reversing major civil rights investigations. Finally, a federal judge found the Trump administration in violation of a court order after it deported migrants—most not from South Sudan—to South Sudan, only for the flight to be rerouted to Djibouti, again without legal basis.

To many, the word "budget" brings to mine restrictions, guilt, punishment, and a general feeling of dread that they don't have control over their money, much less hit their budget goals. But this idea that a budget means setting hard limits on spending in various categories, then looking back every month to see if you were "good" or "bad" in adhering to those limits... it's all backwards!   Jesse has another way to look at "budgeting," or planning as he calls it. You give every dollar you have a job -- you look at what future expenses you know you have coming and put those dollars into categories to cover those expenses. Once you have your future expenses covered, then you start thinking about what else you'd like to do with your money: take a trip, buy some new clothes, maybe go out to a nice restaurant. Then, as life happens and your needs change, you can move the money around. It's not a failure that your spending doesn't perfectly adhere to some arbitrary category number, it just means you got new information, circumstances changed, and therefore your spending plan needs to change with it.   Once you wrap your head around this way of thinking about money, of planning for the future rather than looking backwards and punishing yourself, then you can start loving the way you spend.

The Trump administration is ending federal oversight of police departments through consent decrees in Minneapolis and Louisville. Those are the locations of the high-profile police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor five years ago that captured the nation's attention on the issue. President Trump's Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon says these consent decrees have been taking policing control away from local communities and turning it over to “un-elected bureaucrats.” Former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins the Rundown to discuss police oversight since the summer of 2020 and the battle over the Trump administration's latest deportation enforcement plans. The unofficial start of the summer travel season is this weekend, but the Federal Aviation Administration predicts that a record number of people will fly on Tuesday. This report comes after prominent travel delays caused by flight issues at Newark Liberty International Airport and the introduction of the REAL ID mandate. Travel expert Lee Abbamonte joins the podcast to share tips on how to prepare for your summer vacation and avoid wasting money.
