    In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the ongoing cultural battle between Hollywood and emerging alternative entertainment industries. Joining us is Christian Toto, a prominent journalist and cultural critic, who shares his insights on the disconnect between Hollywood elites and mainstream America. As we reflect on recent award shows and their political grandstanding, Toto discusses the rise of family-friendly entertainment from new hubs like Nashville and Dallas, and the growing momentum behind independent creators who are challenging the traditional gatekeepers of the industry.Toto highlights how technological advancements and a shift in audience preferences are paving the way for a more diverse and authentic entertainment landscape. We explore the impact of AI on Hollywood, the potential for indie filmmakers to thrive outside the studio system, and the resilience of artists who are successfully bypassing traditional pathways to reach their audiences.Then, we delve into the complex and pressing issue of Sharia law and its implications within the United States. As immigration continues to shape the American landscape, we explore the growing movement in Texas to explicitly ban Sharia law in state code. Joining us is national security expert Frank Gaffney, who sheds light on the alarming rise of Islamic totalitarian ideologies and their potential impact on American freedoms. Gaffney discusses the motivations behind this movement and the role of organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the broader context of national security.We also examine the historical context of Sharia law, contrasting it with the U.S. Constitution, and highlight the ongoing efforts by Texas officials to address this issue head-on. With the potential for a statewide ballot measure to prohibit Sharia law, Gaffney emphasizes the importance of making this a national voting issue in the upcoming elections.Finally, we explore the transformative power of artificial intelligence and its implications for the future of work and the economy. Kirk Offel of Overwatch Mission Critical, shares insights from his recent testimony before Congress, addressing the concerns surrounding AI, data centers, and their environmental impact. He draws parallels between today's AI revolution and historical infrastructure changes, such as the railway system and the electrification of America, emphasizing the need to shift public perception from fear to opportunity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    It's Tuesday, January 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Iran Int'l News reports 36,500 protestors killed by Islamic regime As The Worldview reported yesterday, the latest report of the death count for the recent Iranian protests is now at 36,500, according to Iran International News.   (audio of Iranian officials shooting unarmed protestors) This information reportedly comes from Interior Ministry documents. The government carried out 4,000 clashes at various locations around the country over a two-day period earlier in the month. Iran's Health Ministry also revealed that the hospitals in the country performed 13,000 surgeries following the protests. Iran's internet blackout is going into its 19th day today.  Iran International also reports that government officials are still carrying out “extrajudicial killings, deaths under torture, and the systematic mistreatment of detainees and their families.” Several of our sources have reported multiple Christians killed in the conflict.  Communist Chinese president purged military generals China's President and Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping has completed his purge of military generals, beginning with top brass Zhang Youxia and at least 17 other generals, reports NTDTV.com. The Economist called this “the largest political purge of the military's top ranks since Mao Zedong's death in 1976.” Assaults on ICE officers increased by 1,300% in 2025 over 2024 Public protests are increasing in the United States. Last year, the Crowd Counting Consortium counted 10,700 protests in the U.S. That's a 133% increase over 2024. So far this month, there have been 628 protests, the largest of which have centered in Minnesota, Illinois, and California. Disturbingly, the protests have increased in violence. The Department of Homeland Security recently reported a 1,300% increase in assaults against I.C.E. officers in 2025 (over the previous year), and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks. Rest assured, where human justice may fail, Ecclesiastes 12:14 assures us that “God shall bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.” Shooting death of Minneapolis man sparks gun control debate The January 24th fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by law enforcement has sparked a debate on gun control. Apparently, the protester was armed at the time of his encounter with the I.C.E. agent. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli took to X, commenting that, "If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you."  However, the pro-gun group, the National Rifle Association, said, "Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.” Plus, Gun Owners for America noted, "The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting ‒ a right the federal government must not infringe upon." GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Barack Obama weigh in on ICE killing GOP U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky also jumped into the fray. He said, ”Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence;  it's a Constitutionally-protected, God-given right. And, if you don't understand this, you have no business in law enforcement or government." No comment from the liberal media on Mr. Pretti's choice to carry a gun to the protest. Then, former President Barack Obama took to X on Sunday to encourage the American public to “support and draw inspiration from” what he calls “the peaceful protests in Minneapolis.” Satan worshippers thank Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Speaking of Minnesota, Republican State Representative Pam Altendorf revealed on video a disturbing display recognizing Satan in the state Capitol. ALTENDORF: “As I was leaving my committee meeting today here earlier, I noticed that there is a new display here at the State Capitol, and it's for Governor [Tim] Walz.” The inscription says, “The Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the state Capitol building.” Rep. Altendorf concluded with this. ALTENDORF: “Yes, everyone, this is true. I am live, not making this up. You can't make this up. (laughs) I don't know why a governor of a state would want this plaque, but there it is. “The Satan worshipers have thanked Governor Tim Walz, and let me repeat this.  The last line says, ‘Satan has a special place for you.' I'm speechless.” In Exodus 20:3, God revealed to Moses atop Mt. Sinai, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Charismatic leader accused of “fabricated” prophecies and sexual sin The charismatic church is taking more hits from reports concerning alleged scandalous activities of a homosexual nature. Shawn Bolz was platformed by Bethel over a period of ten years.  Bethel leadership now admits to have continued platforming Bolz despite their knowing of his “fabricated” prophecies and alleged sexual sin, reports CBN News. Multiple Christian news organizations have headlined this new revelation in an ongoing series of scandals in the evangelical/charismatic church involving Bill Hybels, Carl Lentz, Mike Bickel, Brian Houston, T.D. Jakes, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart.  The deluge of scandals has taken its toll on the nation. Public trust in pastors here is now the lowest in recorded history. According to Lifeway Research, only 27% of Americans say they have a high trust in pastors, down from an average of 56% between 2000 and 2009. Here's a reminder from 1 Corinthians 11:31 and 32. “If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.  But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” Gold and silver prices soar Gold and silver prices continue to soar. Now, $5,100 per ounce for gold, up from $2,600 just a year ago, reports Reuters. And silver today is $110 per pounce, up from $30 a year ago. 36 states consider anti-transgender bills And finally, at last count, 36 state governments are floating 366 bills which would put the brakes on the advance of “transgender rights,” limit the public display of drag queens, and allow religious exemptions for churches, schools, and businesses that are morally opposed to homosexuality and transgenderism.

    It's Monday, January 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus The Iranian protests are putting Christians at greater risk The Islamic Republic of Iran is hostile to protestors and Christians alike. Lana Silk of the Christian organization Transform Iran said, “Police are indiscriminately shooting into the crowds. The people try to fight back, but they are unarmed and almost entirely defenseless.” She is certain that more than 12,000 Iranians have been killed, and quite possibly 30,000 or more, reports International Christian Concern. She said, “The streets are now being patrolled by tanks and aggressive armed security forces. People are being rounded up, beaten, imprisoned, and killed. Men, women, and children, it doesn't matter.” Anyone who dares to go outside is in danger. Though Iran's Islamic regime, where 95% of the population is Muslim, treats almost none of its people well, it tends to be especially ruthless with its Christian minority. Iran is currently ranked as the 10th-most oppressive country for Christians. The Iranian government makes no secret about its attitude toward Christianity. Such worship in the country's main language -- Persian, also known as Farsi -- is essentially outlawed, as is any Christian literature written in that language. Matthew 5:10 says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Vice President Vance announces expansion of Mexico City Policy Appearing at the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. on Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance spoke up for life, reports LifeNews.com. VANCE: “With the Dobbs decision, what the President did, what the Supreme Court did, was put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life. He shattered a 50-year culture of disposability, one that treated human life as expendable the moment that it became inconvenient. And he empowered our nation and our movement to build a culture of life from the grassroots up.” Vice President Vance outlined some of the Trump administration's pro-life accomplishments. VANCE: “We started by undoing the evils we saw under the previous administration, like, for example, throwing priests and grandmothers in prison for praying outside a[n abortion] clinic. That's over; we stopped it. (cheers) “Where the previous administration mandated taxpayer funding for abortions, including travel costs across the entire government, this administration ended it. (cheers) We have expanded conscience protections for health care workers and defended faith based foster care and adoption. “This administration launched fraud investigations into Planned Parenthood affiliates (cheers) for millions of dollars in [Paycheck Protection Program] loans that were unlawfully received and unlawfully forgiven by the Biden administration. You should not be able to commit fraud and use taxpayer money for abortion. It's that simple! (cheers) “At many of our departments, we've reinstated a ban on the use of fetal tissue in federal research. That's another big one, and this is something we're so proud of. We're returning accountability to our foreign policy as well. “Under Joe Biden, it was the policy of the United States to export abortion and radical gender ideology all around the world. That is what they did with your tax money. (boos) They would relentlessly bully developing countries into parroting their far left views. But under President Trump's leadership, and with our great Secretary of State, we believe that every country in the world has the duty to protect life.” And Vice President Vance cited an expansion of the pro-life Mexico City policy. VANCE: “Today, our administration is proud to announce a historic expansion of the Mexico City policy. We're going to start blocking every international [non-governmental organization] that performs or promotes abortion abroad from receiving $1 of U.S. money. (cheers) We're expanding this policy to protect life, to combat DEI, and the radical gender ideologies that prey on our children. “The rule will now cover every non-military foreign assistance that America sends. All in all, we have expanded the Mexico City policy about three times as big as it was before. And we're proud of it because we believe in fighting for life.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” ICE shot and killed man in Minneapolis Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, less than three weeks after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, amid an ongoing surge in immigration enforcement action across the city, reports CBS News. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis Veterans Administration hospital, was identified as the man killed by a Border Patrol agent. CBS News in Minneapolis reported, “Videos from the scene show that Pretti was holding a cellphone, not a gun, when he was shot.”  However, ICE Commander Gregory Bovino said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti. Listen. BOVINO: “An individual approached us Border Patrol agents with a nine millimeter, semi-automatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots. “Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible ID. “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. Then, about 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement.” That's when an armored ICE vehicle was pelted by stones by angry Leftists. (audio from the streets of Minneapolis) Trump sues JPMorgan Chase for $5 billion over 'political' debanking And finally, President Donald Trump is suing the JPMorgan Chase bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed last Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking Trump for political reasons, reports Fox Business. The president's attorney, Alejandro Brito, filed the lawsuit Thursday morning in Florida state court in Miami on behalf of the president and several of his hospitality companies. Brito quoted JPMorgan's code of conduct, which states that the bank operates "with the highest level of integrity and ethical conduct." The Trump lawsuit asserts, "Despite claiming to hold these principles dear, [J.P. Morgan Chase violated them by unilaterally—and without warning or remedy—terminating several of [the] Plaintiff's bank accounts." This is not the first time. Sam Brownback, Trump's Ambassador for Religious Freedom, wrote a New York Post column last year in which he said, “If you've ever had a rug pulled out from under you, then you know how it feels to suddenly lose access to your own bank account.  That's what happened to me in 2022, when JPMorgan Chase, America's largest bank, abruptly canceled our newly opened account for the National Committee for Religious Freedom. “[We] launched a national campaign to collect and tell the stories of those who, like us, had been canceled or punished by their banks, payment processors or even insurance companies. We found that most debanking victims have two things in common: Their finances are in order, and they're conservative or religious.” Proverbs 11:3 says, “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."

    Through January 2026, protests have roiled the country of Iran. In response, the Islamic regime has brutally cracked down on the people. Much of the violence is now largely hidden, as the internet has been blocked inside the country. But the shaking of Iran continues.Christians have been swept up in this chaos. Many have suffered for years, as the Islamic regime sought to stamp out the truth of Christ within its borders. Iran likely has the fastest growing community of Christians in the world today. So how is all of this affecting them? How should Christians in other parts of the world think and pray over the situation affecting Iranian believers?

    In 2014, the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from the small town of Chibok, Nigeria. One of the young women, Naomi Adamu, and her friends smuggled a Bible into captivity, and for seven years the Scriptures were a source of their strength to resist. Upon the hostages' release, Wall Street Journal reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson interviewed Naomi and many others for their book Bring Back Our Girls, and wrote a 2021 cover story for Christianity Today in which they shared the role that their faith played in their captivity. As Boko Haram continues to kidnap and displace innocent people in Nigeria and religious conflict abounds, this piece offers an account of the ways that God can be at work in the darkest places.

    I am Islamophobic, not because of the brutal descriptions and bloodthirsty directives easily found in the Koran, but because terrorists of the Islamic faith have perpetrated thousands of attacks that have killed tens of thousands of innocent victims since the World Trade Center attacks of September 11th, 2001. In other words, it is not words in holy books that tell us about a faith, it is the behavior of its adherents.  I am willing to acknowledge that as an outsider, I don't understand the full implications of ancient texts. But I do understand murderous behavior.  Candace Owens ignores the reality that nobody walking the streets of Rome, London, or Sydney, need fear being knifed or shot by a briefcase-wielding Jewish accountant.  Instead, she focuses on, not Jewish holy texts, no, on a discredited book written by a 19th century anti-Semitic academic fraud whose book tells of horrors in Jewish holy texts but which in fact do not exist.  What is the Talmud? What happened to Candace Owens' hero, August Rohling.  How are the Five Books of Moses linked to the Talmud?

I am willing to acknowledge that as an outsider, I don't understand the full implications of ancient texts. But I do understand murderous behavior. Candace Owens ignores the reality that nobody walking the streets of Rome, London, or Sydney, need fear being knifed or shot by a briefcase-wielding Jewish accountant. Instead, she focuses on, not Jewish holy texts, no, on a discredited book written by a 19th century anti-Semitic academic fraud whose book tells of horrors in Jewish holy texts but which in fact do not exist. What is the Talmud? What happened to Candace Owens' hero, August Rohling. How are the Five Books of Moses linked to the Talmud? Why does the Torah repeat a strange law three times?

    In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we unpack a whirlwind of events surrounding President Trump's upcoming speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. As tensions rise among European leaders regarding Trump's controversial plans for Greenland, we explore the implications of his proposed security perimeter amidst growing concerns from China and Russia in the Arctic.We take a moment to assess the significant achievements from Trump's first year in office, highlighting improvements in mortgage rates, gas prices, and inflation. With a notable decrease in border crossings and an unprecedented drop in the foreign-born population, we discuss the impact of these changes on American society and the economy.Additionally, we delve into the recent grand jury subpoenas issued to Minnesota officials regarding their alleged obstruction of ICE operations, a development that could have serious ramifications for state governance. Later, we tackle the pressing issue of student visa reform with Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas. Congressman Gill unveils his groundbreaking legislation aimed at addressing the alarming trend of foreign students overstaying their visas and the potential threats posed by individuals from hostile nations studying sensitive subjects in the U.S. He emphasizes the need for an immigration system that prioritizes American students and national security, challenging the status quo that often favors foreign applicants over qualified American citizens.As we delve deeper, Congressman Gill sheds light on the broader implications of waste, fraud, and abuse within government programs, particularly highlighting the ongoing investigations into fraudulent practices in Minnesota. He discusses the significance of recent legislative changes designed to protect taxpayer dollars and the importance of accountability in government spending.The conversation also touches on the challenges posed by Islamic migration and the necessity of an immigration policy that safeguards American values and culture.

    In many ways, humanity seems to have become more humane and inclusive over time. While there's still a lot of progress to be made, campaigns to give people of different genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, beliefs, and abilities equal treatment and rights have had significant success.It's tempting to believe this was inevitable — that the arc of history “bends toward justice,” and that as humans get richer, we'll make even more moral progress.But today's guest Christopher Brown — a professor of history at Columbia University and specialist in the abolitionist movement and the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries — believes the story of how slavery became unacceptable suggests moral progress is far from inevitable.Rebroadcast: This episode was originally aired in February 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/CLBWhile most of us today feel that the abolition of slavery was sure to happen sooner or later as humans became richer and more educated, Christopher doesn't believe any of the arguments for that conclusion pass muster. If he's right, a counterfactual history where slavery remains widespread in 2023 isn't so far-fetched.As Christopher lays out in his two key books, Moral Capital: Foundations of British Abolitionism and Arming Slaves: From Classical Times to the Modern Age, slavery has been ubiquitous throughout history. Slavery of some form was fundamental in Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, in much of the Islamic civilisation, in South Asia, and in parts of early modern East Asia, Korea, China.It was justified on all sorts of grounds that sound mad to us today. But according to Christopher, while there's evidence that slavery was questioned in many of these civilisations, and periodically attacked by slaves themselves, there was no enduring or successful moral advocacy against slavery until the British abolitionist movement of the 1700s.That movement first conquered Britain and its empire, then eventually the whole world. But the fact that there's only a single time in history that a persistent effort to ban slavery got off the ground is a big clue that opposition to slavery was a contingent matter: if abolition had been inevitable, we'd expect to see multiple independent abolitionist movements thoroughly history, providing redundancy should any one of them fail.Christopher argues that this rarity is primarily down to the enormous economic and cultural incentives to deny the moral repugnancy of slavery, and crush opposition to it with violence wherever necessary.Mere awareness is insufficient to guarantee a movement will arise to fix a problem. Humanity continues to allow many severe injustices to persist, despite being aware of them. So why is it so hard to imagine we might have done the same with forced labour?In this episode, Christopher describes the unique and peculiar set of political, social and religious circumstances that gave rise to the only successful and lasting anti-slavery movement in human history. These circumstances were sufficiently improbable that Christopher believes there are very nearby worlds where abolitionism might never have taken off.Christopher and host Rob Wiblin also discuss:Various instantiations of slavery throughout human historySigns of antislavery sentiment before the 17th centuryThe role of the Quakers in early British abolitionist movementThe importance of individual “heroes” in the abolitionist movementArguments against the idea that the abolition of slavery was contingentWhether there have ever been any major moral shifts that were inevitableChapters:Rob's intro (00:00:00)Cold open (00:01:45)Who's Christopher Brown?

    It's Tuesday, January 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Iran's Islamic regime has killed 16,500 protestors, injured 330,000 Shockingly, the death toll in the Iranian protests has topped 16,500 people,  reports the Sunday Times.   Iran's internet blackout has crossed its twelfth day.  One of our sources has reported at least 11 Christians were killed by Iranian authorities over the last few weeks. According to Iran International, smuggled out reports indicate that 330,000 Iranians have been injured.  One Tehran eye hospital, the Noor Clinic, documented around 7,000 eye injuries. This may be the highest death toll for a protest against government tyranny in modern history. By contrast, the Communist crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters in Beijing, China in 1989 resulted in the deaths of up to 3,000 people.  Leftists storm Minneapolis church in anti-I.C.E. disruption Here in the United States, anti-ICE protesters disrupted a house of worship in Minneapolis on Sunday. Listen. AUDIO: “ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out. ICE out.” Cities Church is pastored by Jonathan Parnell, a contributor to the Desiring God ministry, and father of eight children. The church was targeted because one of the pastors was employed by the ICE organization. Author Christopher Yuan wrote on X, “Pastor Jonathan Parnell handled himself so well in the midst of protestors disrupting his worship service. Pray for Cities Church to shine the light of the Gospel in the Twin Cities. Pray for the children who were probably traumatized by all this. This is the church where my friend David Mathis also serves as pastor as well as serving as executive director for Desiring God.”   Thankfully, the Department of Homeland Security has arrested 10,000 illegals in Minneapolis, according to Secretary Kristi Noem. In addition, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi promised that “intimidation of Christians [is] being met with the full force of federal law.” Lesbian Renee Good's relative: Wrath of God vs ungodliness Much of the national furor has surrounded the killing of Renee Good, who reportedly had an altercation with an ICE agent in the Minneapolis area. Good has been touted by the media as “a good Christian,” yet at the time of her death, she was in what Romans 1 calls an unnatural and wicked relationship with another woman.   Timmy Macklin, Renee Good's former father-in-law, and the grandfather of her 6-year-old son, was interviewed on CNN, on her tragic death. While stating his love for his former daughter-in-law, he warned of the wrath of God against ungodliness in this interview.   Listen. MACKLIN: “I don't have any enemies. I love everybody, and that's what the Bible tells us. Love our neighbors as we love ourselves. But you know, I think there's some bad choices. The Word says, ‘For the wrath of God will come upon the children of disobedience.' (Ephesians 5:6) “I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee. If we're walking in the Spirit of God, I don't think she would have been there. That's the way I look at it. 73,000 illegals arrested by ICE The stats are in for ICE arrests and detentions. 27% of those arrested already had criminal convictions on record, and roughly 7% were felons. That's about the same rates for the average American citizen. However, 100% of those arrested and detained, have allegedly violated the law by entering the country illegally. As of today, about 73,000 people are on ICE detention, up from 14,000 at the end of the Biden administration. That amounts to only half a percent of the number of illegal persons living in the country. The number of unauthorized migrants hit 14 million in 2023, up from 3.5 million in 2000. Also, for the record, 59% of illegal immigrant households receive welfare, as compared with 39% of native households. Romans 13 reminds us that the ruler is “God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.  “Therefore, you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. For because of this, you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.” Gold and silver hit new highs Gold scraped $4,700 an ounce and silver hit $95 an ounce in another hot market yesterday, reports InvestingNews.com.  That's a 125% gain on gold and 332% gain on silver in two years. Central banks are favoring gold over U.S. Treasuries. Economists are pointing to escalating geopolitical risks and a weakening dollar as reasons that are driving the increases. About a third of new mine supply of gold is going to the central banks now. China, Brazil, Turkey and Poland are the largest purchasers in recent months.  Denmark upset that America wants Greenland As the World Economic Forum is meeting this week, Denmark is conspicuously absent at the table as the nation's government protests the United States involvement, reports Forbes. President Donald Trump is still pushing for America's annexation of Greenland.  Greenland's high abortion rate Speaking of Greenland, it's famous for its high abortion rate — the highest in the world. There are more abortions there than births every year.   Also, in terms of public acceptance and early endorsement of homosexuality, Iceland, Greenland, and Denmark are the most pro-homosexual countries in the world. 68-year-old lost New Zealand man found after 17 days And finally, authorities in New Zealand called off the search for a hiker in the hinterlands of the Southern Island. A police post has announced that Graham Garnett, age 68, was found alive in the Kahurangi National park by contractors working the area, 17 days after he went missing. Psalm 107:5-8 says, “They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city for a dwelling place. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, January 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

    How does Greece's Byzantine and Ottoman past shape its future? In this episode, Helen Carr speaks to journalist and author Sean Matthews about Greece's shifting geopolitical role and alliances. Caught between wars raging in both Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Greece is an island of relative stability. Popularly considered the cradle of Western civilization, this is a Christian Orthodox state on the edge of the Islamic world. And, after a half-century of integration into NATO and the EU, Greece is now reabsorbing into the Near East, as the West fractures and new Middle Eastern powers rise. As Greek-American journalist Sean Matthews argues, the country's importance as a cultural and geopolitical hybrid is growing. Sean is a Greek-American journalist who has covered a wide swath of the Middle East.  He is a correspondent with Middle East Eye, and has also written for The Economist and Al-Monitor, among others. The New Byzantines: The Rise of Greece and Return of the Near East is his first book.

    The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius was one of the medieval world's most popular and widely translated texts. Composed in Syriac in Mesopotamia in the seventh century, this supposed revelation presented a new, salvific role for the Roman Empire, whose last emperor, it prophesied, would help bring about the end of the ages. In this first book-length study of Pseudo-Methodius, Christopher J. Bonura uncovers the under-appreciated Syriac origins of this apocalyptic tract, revealing it as a remarkable response to political realities faced by Christians living under a new Islamic regime. Tracing the spread of Pseudo-Methodius from the early medieval Mediterranean to its dissemination via the printing presses of early modern Europe, Bonura then demonstrates how different cultures used this new vision of empire's role in the end times to reconfigure their own realities. The book also features a new, complete, and annotated English translation of the Syriac text of Pseudo-Methodius. New books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Christopher J.

    This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. The young people in Iran are freedom fighters battling a genocidal regime and abandoning them worsens global threats like those from communist China, ultimately harming the United States. Regimes such as Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are fascistic feudal systems masquerading as people's revolutions, fueled by fraudulent ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism. There's a noticeable absence of U.S. protests by Marxist-Islamists and woke neo-fascists in support of the thousands slaughtered in Iran, despite their professed concern for rights. Also, the war on ICE is a war on American citizens, driven by illegal aliens who claim rights to residency, welfare benefits, tax subsidies, and jobs while refusing to leave. There are highly organized, radical, violent Marxists and ethnic front groups who are obstructing their removal, which undermines borders and leads to children of illegals becoming citizens who vote Democrat. There are also avenues for civil action against individual perpetrators. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    In every life, there are defining moments when a person must decide whether to stand up for what is right or remain silent. At a young age, Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai began boldly advocating for girls' access to education, which had been denied by the Taliban, an extremist Islamic group. The consequences were grave. In October 2012, the Taliban shot Malala point-blank in the head because of her outspoken beliefs. Miraculously, Malala survived and would go on to become the co-founder of the Malala Fund, which seeks to advocate and provide education to millions of young girls globally who are denied an education because of poverty, violence or tradition. Two years after the attack, Malala became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala describes to Oprah the last moment she remembers before being shot. The young activist says her recovery taught her that "there is nothing greater than the love and the prayer of people." Later in the podcast, Malala's father, Ziauddin, joins the discussion and explains why he felt closest to God on the day Malala was attacked. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. TX Sen. Ted Cruz Joins the Show! Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit. The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements. Buck's Crazy Credit Card Story From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases. Financial Literacy Isn't Taught at School The hour opens with a candid discussion on financial literacy and mortgage realities, as Clay explains how most homeowners misunderstand amortization tables. For the first decade of a 30-year mortgage, nearly all payments go toward interest rather than principal, leaving many Americans unaware of how little equity they build early on. The hosts argue that schools fail to teach essential financial skills—such as understanding compound interest, credit card debt, and mortgage structures—leaving consumers vulnerable to predatory practices. This ties into their broader critique of systemic financial inequities and the need for transparency in lending. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s economic agenda, highlighted by his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s populist proposals, including a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% and restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes. They debate the feasibility and impact of these measures, noting that while Trump’s plan may face legal hurdles, it resonates politically by addressing affordability concerns. Buck shares personal anecdotes about credit card companies’ predatory tactics, reinforcing why Trump’s stance on consumer protection is striking a chord with voters. The hosts also explore how housing shortages are exacerbated by illegal immigration and corporate ownership of residential properties, driving up prices and squeezing middle-class families. SCOTUS Trans Athlete Arguments From economics, the hour pivots to a landmark Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, featuring an interview with Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics and former Levi’s executive. Sey, who spoke at a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside Riley Gaines, calls the case a fight for reality and fairness, arguing that Title IX was designed to protect female athletes based on biological sex—not gender identity. She warns that allowing males to compete in women’s sports undermines decades of progress and discourages girls from participating. Sey predicts that even if the Court rules 6–3 in favor of states like West Virginia and Idaho, progressive states will double down on policies permitting biological males in female sports, framing the issue as a cultural battle that must be fought beyond the courtroom. Clay and Buck echo her concerns, blasting terms like “cisgender” and “trans girls” as linguistic fictions that normalize gender ideology at the expense of women’s rights.

    On Monday's Mark Levin Show,  the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. If that regime survives, it will be the greatest missed opportunity against terrorism and an avowed terror state ever.  Diplomacy and negotiations are ridiculous words in the context of what's happening in Iran and what's happening to those brave people.  Also, America is unraveling, with its founding principles under assault by groupism—all largely attributed to Democrats seeking permanent institutional control, as evidenced by attempts to imprison Trump and dominate culture, media, academia, entertainment, and science. The Democrat Party aims to undermine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Electoral College, Supreme Court, and separation of powers while abusing the rule of law against opponents. Meanwhile, enemies within seek to replace the Republican Party with neo-fascist or Islamist variants, targeting all citizens, though they have failed so far; great republics collapse internally.  Later, Sen Elizabeth Warren advocates for Democrats to embrace economic populism to regain ground in the 2026 midterms by focusing on lowering costs for families, mirroring Trump's messaging. Warren is a Marxist and populism is a leftist concept leading to socialism and tyranny, incompatible with the Constitution.  Republicans need to counter Democrat by highlighting their failures in taxes, inflation, immigration, energy shortages, and Obamacare, while rejecting populism in favor of constitutional conservatism to win midterms and build trust.
