On this episode, Amanda Head gives you a double dose of congress.First, host Amanda Head discusses with Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville the latest in redistricting news. South Carolina's GOP-controlled state senate rejected a new congressional map, and a three-judge panel in Alabama blocked a map favoring Republicans, citing race-based discrimination. Tuberville emphasizes the need for a fair map in Alabama and the importance of securing the Senate majority to support President Trump's agenda. Tuberville criticizes the Biden administration's handling of January 6 cases the politicization of the judiciary, and a Congressional fund enacted to “make whole” Jan6 defendants who were victims of Biden's weaponization.Next, Amanda speaks with Rep. Randy Fine of Florida as the Trump administration is investigating whether Marxist influencers, including Hassan Piker, violated federal laws or sanctions by supporting Cuba. Fine criticizes Piker as a foreign-funded agitator, likely backed by China, aiming to divide America. Fine contrasts the Democratic Party's embrace of anti-Semitism with the Republican Party's rejection of extremism. He emphasizes the need for transparency in protest funding to expose foreign influence. Fine also condemns Democrats for protesting ICE on Memorial Day, accusing them of siding with foreigners over American citizens. The conversation concluded with a discussion on Title IX and transgender athletes in sports.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with China and national security expert Steve Yates to break down President Trump's latest summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and why the meeting was less about trust and more about strategic leverage.Yates describes the Trump-Xi talks as a “maintenance mission,” explaining that while President Trump pushed major economic and geopolitical issues ranging from trade and energy to Iran and market access, the Chinese Communist Party remains deeply resistant to meaningful reform. He argues that America's greatest leverage over China is still access to the U.S. consumer market and warns that Beijing has repeatedly failed to honor past trade commitments.The conversation shifts into a far more alarming discussion about what Yates calls the CCP's increasingly aggressive influence operations inside the United States. Head and Yates discuss Chinese-linked bio labs discovered in America, election and social media manipulation, university partnerships, espionage concerns tied to U.S. research institutions, and the growing national security debate surrounding birth tourism and Chinese surveillance tactics.Yates also shares a firsthand story from his own government service involving suspected Chinese surveillance technology secretly placed inside his laptop during an official trip to China, warning that modern espionage operations have become far more advanced than most Americans realize.You can follow Amanda Head, this podcast, and Steve Yates on X by searching for the respective handle: @AmandaHead, @FurthermorePod, @SteveYates.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head questions President Trump in the Oval Office about the cost and affordability of IVF before welcoming foreign policy expert Dr. Walid Phares for a deep dive into the growing tensions in the Middle East.Dr. Phares speculates that Trump's recent meeting with Iranian generals may have involved discussions connected to opposition figures inside Iran, while warning that many in Washington still fail to fully understand the intentions and survival tactics of the Iranian regime. He sharply criticizes Tehran's long history of oppression, terrorism funding, and crackdowns on its own people, contrasting it with what he describes as Trump's more direct and strategic approach.The conversation also explores whether the United States should actively support Iran's opposition movement, particularly younger generations pushing for change from within. Dr. Phares predicts the current standoff could reach a critical turning point by mid-June, arguing that allowing tensions to drag on may carry major political consequences both abroad and at home.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior go head to head for nearly the entire show in one of the most heated SITREPs yet. The night opens with a rolling debate on whether Islam is purely a religion or a political ideology, sparked by Sammy the Squirrel's Substack and the Epic City development in Texas. Alpha argues for preemption and forced assimilation. CannCon stays planted on the constitution, demanding actual examples of laws being passed before force is used. The conversation rolls into foreign flags flying on US soil, with CannCon proposing twenty year sentences for Americans flying another nation's flag, and Alpha reminding him he claimed to be a free speech absolutist three hours earlier. Then the gloves come off on the Second Amendment. The guys break down the DOJ's lawsuit against Denver over an ordinance that turns a Glock 17 into an "assault weapon," walk through the Bruen test, and unpack why the NFA classifying a suppressor as a firearm is like calling a wheel a car. Plus California's 11% ammo tax as a backdoor penalty. They close defending Kyle Seraphin against a Just The News hit piece, deployment war stories, and a civilization jihad document read aloud.

The guy who wrote the bogus intel assessments that Russia was interfering in 2016 and 2020 and helped lead to the first impeachment of Trump is identified... and he really hopes you're not interested in learning more about him. JustTheNews does some digging and finds the entire case against Trump was laughably weak. Spirit Airlines shuts down, stranding thousands of travelers and putting 17,000 people out of work.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head sits down with Levi Browde, executive director of the Falun Dafa Information Center, to uncover the story behind Shen Yun as it marks its 20th anniversary.Founded in 2006, Shen Yun was created to revive and preserve 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture—heritage that Browde says has been systematically suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Through a powerful series of 20 vignettes, the production brings ancient legends, spiritual traditions, and modern-day stories to life on stage.But behind the beauty is a darker reality. Browde details how Shen Yun and its performers have faced ongoing threats, including alleged sabotage efforts and intimidation tied to the CCP's broader crackdown, particularly against practitioners of Falun Gong.This conversation is about cultural survival, political pressure, and why Shen Yun has become a global symbol of resistance and awareness against authoritarian control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents.He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes.With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.You can learn more about the Teacher Freedom Alliance by visiting their website: https://www.teacherfreedomalliance.com/ and you can follow Ryan Walters on X, along with this podcast and Host Amanda Head by searching for their respective handles: @RyanWalters_, @AmandaHead, and @FurthermorePod.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, April 28th, 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 and Timothy Reed India: 12th worst persecutor of Christians worldwide India is the twelfth worst persecutor of Christians in the world on the Open Doors World Watch List. It's largely due to the shift brought about by the joint efforts of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh organization and the BJP political party in that country. But now, the RSS General Secretary  told the Hudson Institute last week, that this is a misconception. However, the Religious Liberty Commission of the Evangelical Fellowship of India reports 747 incidents of vandalisms, beatings, false arrests, church burnings, and at least one murder in 2025. This follows a rash of anti-conversion laws brought on by the ruling political parties. In November 2025, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report recommending that India be placed on the list of Countries of Particular Concern. The report noted that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party came into power 12 years ago. … India has “enforced policies that closely align with Hindutva ideology, [a political ideology establishing Hindu dominance which leads to] discriminating and disenfranchising members of India's religious minority communities.” British suicide bill failed to pass Good news! A controversial suicide bill has failed to pass the United Kingdom Parliament. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill did not receive the support necessary to pass the House of Lords, even though it had passed the House of Commons last year. The proposed law would have granted a supposed “right” for those expected to die within six months to kill themselves.  Proverbs 8:36 speaks of the wisdom of God in these words: “But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.” Russia killed seven in two Ukrainian cities Still no end in sight for Russia's four-year war on Ukraine. Russia continued to barrage the Ukrainian cities of Dnipro and Odessa over the weekend.  The BBC reports seven people were killed.  Third assassination attempt on President Trump A would-be assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, got very close to the President of the United States Saturday night. Just the day before President Trump was scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, Allen, a teacher and mechanical engineer, checked into the hotel armed with guns.  At 8:30pm ET, he approached the stairway leading up to the ballroom where the president was sitting, and fired shots at security, when he was taken down by the Secret Service, reports NBC News.  Authorities said an officer wearing a bullet-resistant vest was shot in the chest and is expected to recover. Allen said, “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.”  In 2024, according to the Federal Election Commission filings, Allen donated $25 to ActBlue with the memo “Earmarked for Harris for President,” noted JustTheNews.com. The two other would-be assassins of President Trump include 20-year-old Thomas Crooks on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, who was killed by the Secret Service at a campaign rally and 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on September 15, 2024 at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Routh was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Trump would-be assassin's motive Jeannine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, addressed Cole Tomas Allen's motive. PIRRO: “Make no mistake. This was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States, with the defendant making clear what his intent was. And that intent was to bring down as many of the high-ranking cabinet officials as he could.” According to the New York Post, Allen was charged on Monday with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump — as officials revealed the Secret Service fired at him five times before taking him down. Karoline Leavitt: Trump's calm in chaos was “remarkable to witness” On April 27th, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared her unique perspective on the latest assassination attempt. LEAVITT: “I was seated next to President Trump and the First Lady when the shots were fired before Secret Service swiftly moved us to safety backstage. “The President's calm in the face of chaos while yet another individual was trying to take his life was really remarkable to witness. And it's something I will never forget. President Trump is fearless because he loves this country. And he is willing to put his own life on the line to deliver on the promises that he made to the American public who elected him here into the highest office in the land. … “We should not live in a country where such constant fear of political violence permeates our society every single day. Debating, peaceful protesting and voting are how we need to settle disagreements, not bullets.” The would-be assassin's connection to Christianity Cole Tomas Allen's father is reportedly an elder at Grace United Reformed Church in Torrance, California, affiliated with the United Reformed Churches of America. Allen's social media account listed his association with a Christian Fellowship group at CalTech. And his published manifesto included a note of gratitude to “his family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.”   Plus, the manifesto included a convoluted sort of biblical apologetic for his actions.  The Wall Street Journal has also reported that Allen had coordinated a group meeting for “Bible study, prayer, food, and fellowship.” America's drought and its impact on cattle The United States is still facing its most severe drought in recorded history, dating back into the 19th century. About 90% of Oklahoma and Nebraska are feeling the brunt of our national drought. Half of Nebraska is under extreme conditions. And 99.97% of Kentucky is under drought conditions. Colorado, Georgia, and Florida have also been hit hard. The drought is impacting cattle availability. The Untired States cattle herd has diminished to its lowest numbers in history, dropping to 86.2 million this year. That's down from 115 million cattle in 1981.   Cattle availability has dropped from half a cow per person to a quarter of a cow per person this year.  That's liable to go quite a bit lower this year, as a result of the drought across western states. Deuteronomy 28:15, 18-19 encourages nations to obey God's laws. It says,  “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.” African countries impacted by drought In related news, other nations facing severe drought conditions, in six out of the last seven years, included Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Niger, and Zimbabwe. These areas of Africa are about to tip into severe famine and mass starvation. Kenyan breaks 2-hour marathon record And finally, a son of a Kenyan farmer has broken the 2-hour barrier for the marathon, for the first time in human history, reports the Associated Press. Sabastian Sawe finished the London Marathon over the weekend in the record time of 1:59:30. That's 65 seconds faster than the last official record set three years ago.   Actually, another African from Ethiopia also broke the previous record, finishing 11 seconds behind Sawe.

It's Friday, April 24th, 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 Ugandan evangelist stabbed to death by Muslims Suspected Muslim extremists, posing as taxi drivers on April 9th, killed a Christian evangelist in central Uganda, Africa shortly after he preached at a Gospel event, reports Morning Star News. They beat and stabbed Alfred Kitenga at about 9:30 p.m. along the Northern Bypass in the Wakiso District, after he and his wife, Anna Grace, were returning home from preaching in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. One local church leader said, “This is a painful loss for the body of Christ.” In John 15:19, Jesus said, "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." Iran says first Strait of Hormuz toll revenues banked Hamidreza Hajibabaei, the deputy speaker of Iran's parliament, claimed that Iran, not the United States, was now making demands after the first revenues for newly implemented tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were deposited into Iran's central bank, reports MSN. During a public gathering in the western city of Kuhdasht, ABC News reported that he said, "We have control over this Strait. If the United States continues on its current course, no vessels will pass through the Strait of Hormuz. We are not engaged in negotiations -- rather, we are making demands." The Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a vital waterway for trade along the Persian Gulf, is responsible for an estimated 20% of the world's oil supply traveling through. The blockade has led to soaring gas prices in the United States as the price of oil surpassed $100 per barrel multiple times. Trump orders U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any boat placing mines On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” any boat caught putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as his administration ramps up mine-clearing efforts in the critical waterway, reports TheHill.com. He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled-up level!” Trump retrieves 10-year-old child from Cuba in transgender drama The Trump administration took the unusual step this week of sending a government plane to Cuba to return a 10-year-old boy from Utah who is at the center of a complicated and contentious custody fight involving the child's gender identity, reports NBC News. The boy's 42-year-old father, Mr. Ethington, who is pretending to be a woman himself, is accused of taking his son to Cuba without the permission from the biological mother, with whom he has shared custody. Federal and state authorities sought the return of the boy after a family member expressed concern that Mr. Ethington went to Havana, Cuba to get gender transition surgery for the boy. Mr. Ethington was arrested along with his 32-year-old partner, Blue, and charged in the U.S. with international parental kidnapping. The couple traveled with the boy to Canada, ostensibly for a camping trip in late March with Blue's 3-year-old child. However, the two adults deviously turned off their phones, after telling the older child's mother they'd arrived in Canada. Then, they flew from Vancouver to Mexico and then to Cuba on April 1. Navy secretary fired after feud over Trump's ‘Golden Fleet' with Pentagon leaders Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired on April 22nd after months of feuding with his Pentagon bosses, particularly over his handling of President Trump's “Golden Fleet” shipbuilding initiative, reports the New York Post. Tensions among Phelan, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy War Secretary Stephen Feinberg had been simmering for months. According to one GOP source, Phelan's leadership style was “incongruent” with Hegseth and Feinberg. The source said, “The administration really wanted to accelerate the shipbuilding program because of the president's agenda … and the secretary seemed incapable of accomplishing those goals, and he wasn't well-liked. When you combine incompetence with arrogance, it usually doesn't end well.” Deputy War Secretary Feinberg had been gradually diverting responsibility for the major project away from Phelan, the New York Times reported.  Hung Cao, the Naval undersecretary, is now set to replace him. Virginia voters gave 10 of 11 Congressional seats to Democrats On Tuesday, the Virginia Democrat officials successfully convinced voters to narrowly approve a constitutionally questionable redistricting push to give 10 out of the 11 U.S. congressional seats to the Democrats, a change that one judge ruled to be unconstitutional, reports ABC News. The Democrats had previously held 6 Congressional seats in Virginia. Florida's possible redistricting could help ensure more GOP seats In light of the Virginia election, the red state of Florida is now in the spotlight, reports JustTheNews. In the Sunshine State, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is spearheading an effort to redraw their state's congressional districts before the midterm elections. That would help to ensure the Republicans could retain their majority in the House, and can fully implement President Trump's agenda. Another medical emergency uncovered at Colorado Planned Parenthood Yet another medical emergency was spotted this month at a Colorado Planned Parenthood abortion mill with a checkered history on patient safety, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Operation Rescue reported that an ambulance was spotted on April 10 arriving at the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood. The EMS radio dispatch revealed that a 19-year-old woman came in a day after her abortion complaining of chest pains. The EMS' use of the code “Charlie Medical” indicated fears that the situation was potentially life-threatening. Abortion mills across the country are regularly flagged for harming mothers through botched abortions, unsanitary tools and environments, and lack of regulatory protections such as requirements for staff to secure admitting privileges at nearby hospitals in the event of complications. The birth of the “In God We Trust” motto And finally, on April 22nd,1864, the motto "In God We Trust," which was conceived during the American Civil War, first appeared on American coinage. By a joint resolution of Congress, it was adopted as our national motto in 1956, replacing the previous one: “Out of many, one.” In 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, including this seldom heard fourth verse, which references the importance of trusting God as a nation. Listen. “O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto - "In God is our trust," And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance."

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with Government Accountability Institute Director of Research and bestselling investigative author Seamus Bruner for a wide-ranging conversation on corruption, influence, immigration, and the growing forces shaping America from behind the scenes.Bruner reflects on his three books: Compromised, Fallout, and Controligarchs and explains how years of investigative reporting have led him to one central conclusion: the political class is often not the top of the pyramid. From FBI corruption and the revolving door of Washington insiders to the billionaire donor network influencing culture, policy, and everyday life, Bruner argues that Americans need to pay close attention to who is funding what and why.Head and Bruner also dive into one of the most alarming national security and immigration issues in the country today: birth tourism and the fight over birthright citizenship. Roughly 100,000 Chinese nationals are strategically birthed in America and without change, one day the United States could have a CCP-Influenced leader sitting in the Oval Office.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head asks a veteran FBI agent, “What the heck happened to the Bureau?” During this eye-opening conversation, Amanda Head talks with former FBI Special Agent Thomas Baker, who spent 33 years inside the Bureau and is the author of The Fall of the FBI. Baker pulls back the curtain on what he describes as a dramatic cultural and operational shift that transformed the agency from a premier law enforcement institution into something far more politicized. He points to sweeping changes implemented by then-Director Robert Mueller after 9/11, arguing they redirected the FBI's core mission away from traditional crime-fighting and toward an intelligence-driven model. Baker also weighs in on the controversial Trump-era investigations, the leadership of James Comey and Andrew McCabe, and why he believes those years further eroded public trust. While he gives credit to former Director Christopher Wray for attempting to steer the Bureau back toward its law enforcement roots, Baker makes it clear: meaningful reform is still needed.You can get your hands on a copy of Thomas' book, “The Fall of the FBI: How A Once Great Agency Became A Threat To Democracy” by visiting this Amazon weblink: https://www.amazon.com/Fall-FBI-Agency-Became-Democracy/dp/1637586248See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wade and rooted in 2 Chronicles 7:14, Pond explains how the initiative launched in 2022 with a mission to mobilize daily prayer across all 50 states and even internationally, with participation spanning multiple time zones, including Pakistan.The conversation comes as momentum builds around calls for President Trump to issue a formal proclamation of national repentance, echoing Abraham Lincoln's 1863 declaration during one of the most divided periods in American history.With March 30, 2026 (aligned with the Hebrew calendar's 12th of Nisan) approaching as a key moment for coordinated prayer, Pond outlines what this movement hopes to achieve and why its supporters believe America is at a critical crossroads.You can learn more about Pond's 7:14 Initiative by clicking here: https://the714initiative.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
