Podcasts about last wednesday

Last Wednesday the reserve bank increased the Official Cash Rate up 25 basis points from 2.25% to 2.50% citing increased inflation and uncertainty. Today we discuss what this means for business owners and what you need to start preparing for so you don't get caught out.Apply for the winning formula 12 month business planning: https://nextadvisory.nz/the-winning-formula/If you're interested in working together:Visit our website https://nextadvisory.nzLet's connect over a quick call: https://calendly.com/philsmith/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextadvisory.nz/

The temperatures across the South are still scorching (as usual). World Cup Fever across the United States seems to be abating quite a bit today. The three host countries in North America (Canada, Mexico, and the United States) for the 2026 World Cup soccer advanced into the Round of 16.  That was a pleasant surprise and some very good news for fans in North America. Sadly, the soccer teams for the three host countries all bit the dust over the past few days.  None reached the quarterfinals, Elite Eight, or whatever the FIFA soccer people call this next round. Action on Saturday July 4th saw Canada get skunked 3-0 by tiny Morocco.  The Moroccans converted on three of their four shots on goal to capture the win.  Canada only attempted three shots on goal as they bowed out of this year’s competition. On Sunday, Mexico lost at home to England 3-2 in a very tightly contested match.  The home team out passed England by a 2-1 margin.  The number of completed passes by Mexico (418 to 195 for England) was impressive but didn’t lead to enough points. As golfers might translate, “Pass for show, but kick goals for dough.” The final host country bowed out of World Cup 26 on Monday in Seattle. World Cup host United States had all eyes focused on Seattle Monday evening for its Round of 16 game against Belgium.  Team USA was coming off a raucous Independence Day weekend filled with fireworks and patriotic enthusiasm as the nation celebrated 250 years. Apparently, America’s soccer team failed to receive a fiery jingoistic pregame message.  Belgium breezed to a surprisingly easy 4-1 win over an American team which looked like it had a case of World Cup stage fright on Monday night. The US was attempting to reach the quarterfinals (round of 8) for the first time since 2002. Belgium’s Red Devils (yes, that’s their nickname) had never even reached the quarterfinals – before Monday night’s game against Team USA. Despite having a very loud advantage playing in the home stadium of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, the American team laid a proverbial egg Monday night in losing 4-1 to Belgium. The team looked lethargic (overconfident, perhaps?) and did not appear ready for a game of this magnitude. Much like the European golfers have dominated golf’s Ryder Cup matches the past few decades, the European soccer teams seemed more cohesive and better prepared. The quarterfinals will feature seven European teams and just one South American squad.  All of these games will be shown on FOX Television. Times are CDT: Thursday – France vs. Morocco (3PM) in Foxboro, MA Friday – Spain vs. Belgium (2PM) in Los Angeles, CA Saturday – Norway vs. England (4PM) in Miami, FL Saturday – Argentina vs. Switzerland (8PM) in Kansas City, MO Team USA’s bubble was burst on Monday night by a Belgian team which was not considered to be one of the top European squads. America once again proved that their team has exceptional ability, but their team resolve in tough matches isn’t quite as determined as other top competitors. Perhaps the US should hire Olympic Dream Team members such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird to help prepare the soccer team next time? Question – Will Americans still watch the remaining World Cup games without Team USA involved? The World Cup soccer television ratings have been a success for FOX Sports.  Last Wednesday’s 2-0 win by Team USA over Bosnia-Herzegovina drew 26 million viewers. Early reports indicated that more than 30 million viewers tuned into FOX on Monday night during the American team’s 4-1 loss to Belgium. That’s about 1/3 of the number of viewers for a Super Bowl game.  That is quite impressive.  The total exceeds the viewership of nearly every NFL regular season game. But… Are you planning to tune in for the afternoon quarterfinal games on Thursday and Friday?  The next night game on the schedule won’t occur until Saturday night’s quarterfinal game in Kansas City featuring Argentina and Switzerland. The Swiss won a 0-0 game over Colombia Tuesday afternoon following a 4-3 shootout success. I will be surprised if World Cup soccer will lure 15 to 20 million American viewers for the upcoming quarterfinal round of games. Red Card Outrage! The US team was given (theoretically) an advantage before Monday’s game with Belgium. A dreaded Red Card was handed to an American player by a referee in the previous game after two players got their legs tangled-up.  The Red Card would have disqualified the American player from participating on Monday night against Belgium. Following a call from US President Donald Trump asking for an executive review, a FIFA committee rescinded the Red Card and reinstated the American player.  The Belgian team was outraged by that decision.  It added more motivation to take down the US squad in Monday night’s game. Have you noticed the unique grammar involving World Cup sports stories? I was reading a news story posted on ESPN Sunday and ran across the following sentences (among many): “Norway were stronger, better organized, and more capable with the ball.” “Norway are a very good team” What is going on here?  Who is writing this stuff? The best answer I could find is that Europeans (who speak “proper” English, of course) refer to their national soccer/football team as if it was a plural noun. I’m not picking on ESPN in particular for this odd writing style during the World Cup.  Other major news outlets have been doing the same thing. I’ll counter with this suggestion. If the soccer match is being played in Europe, write the story any way you prefer.  That’s fine. When the game is being played in Kansas City, Missouri, or another American city, please write your story utilizing the preferred grammar used by American readers. Fakery Bakery is open for business again this year at the World Cup Soccer is played without protective pads except around the lower legs.  Contact between the players while they run at full speed or jump into the air to hit the ball with their head is inevitable.  Legitimate sports injuries affect every team. However, the sport continues to hone fakery to new levels of acting in order to draw a penalty from the game’s referees.  Feigning an injury on the field to draw a sympathetic penalty from the refs has become too commonplace in soccer. A 0-0 defensive struggle like Tuesday’s epic (Zzzz…) between Switzerland and Colombia can tempt players to feign injury to help their team get a better shot on goal. Winning a “World Cup Academy Award” in the category of Overacting seems to be a must for many players. For fun, keep your eyes on those “injured” players.  Once they receive that penalty call on an opponent, their injured leg, back, or other body part seems to heal almost immediately.  It’s a miracle!   Mexican fans performed their version of the Texas A&M Aggies’ Midnight Yell Mexican soccer fans pulled out all the stops last week in trying to win their World Cup games in Mexico City.  During some recent games, the home team’s zealous fans camped outside of the hotel which was hosting the opposing team. From late at night until the wee hours of the next morning, a throng of Mexican fans threw a loud party replete with Mariachi bands, singing, chanting, and air horns all night long.  They were trying to disrupt the sleep of the team’s next day opponent. The Mexican fans’ version of a Texas A&M Midnight Yell practice was in excessively bad taste and displayed rather poor sportsmanship. In the end, England ended Mexico’s midnight serenade with a 3-2 win to eliminate the host country. Life is much quieter today in Mexico City.

From Denmark to data centers, Jim covered a lot of ground on the latest edition of the 'Round-Up.' Here's a sample of the headlines: --Double earthquake kills over 900 with thousands injured in Venezuela. --Last Wednesday, the Senate held a second vote in as many days on a measure to end the war with Iran, this time with a different result. --The U.S./Iran peace negotiations faced new turbulence yesterday after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned commercial vessels against using routes outside Tehran's approved passage through the Strait of Hormuz. --Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran of the fantasy of imposing fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. --Iran's clerical regime has sharply escalated executions of all political prisoners, using the gallows to warn a restless population that descent will not be tolerated. --Iran's judiciary announced that more than 3,000 citizens have been arrested in recent months on suspicion of cooperating with Israel. --The U.S. military announced Wednesday that a precision airstrike in Northwest Syria killed a senior ISIS leader. --Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israeli troops would remain in a security zone in Southern Lebanon for as long as necessary. --President Donald Trump praised President Erdogan of Turkey who he suggested could have entered the war on the side of Iran. Trump asked him to stay out and he did. Now it appears Trump's in favor of a weapons sale to Turkey that would include F-35 stealth fighters and dozens of jet engines. --Denmark is moving toward a possible nationwide ban on the Islamic call to prayer.

Last Wednesday's CPI report, while not a surprise, still showed a year-over-year inflation rate of 4.2% - higher than in any month since April, 2023. For investors, this raises a number of questions. First, is this the peak for U.S. inflation and, if it is, how fast will inflation fall from here? Second, are we looking at the right inflation rate, anyway, given differences between CPI and PCE deflators, headline and core measures and the new Fed Chairman's preference for trimmed mean and median readings?

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast Show, on the show this week we had:  Headlines:  Violence against Flotilla participants draws international pressure on IsraelCongo Ebola Outbreak and death toll higher than official reports - From the archives: for the 21st anniversary broadcast of National Sorry Day, 3CR's Radioactive Show aired an interview between Aunty Hazel Collins, one of the founders of Grandmothers Against Removals, originally played by the Central Australia Aboriginal Media Association with host Teghan Hughes. Grandmothers Against Removal are an organisation working on the frontlines to prevent children from being removed from their families and creating yet another stolen generation. Aunty Hazel Collins and Teghan speak about the injustices faced by children who are removed from their families by the colonial government. The interview starts by addressing comments aired on Sunrise in March 2018 in which they implied that the Stolen Generation was necessary and needed to happen again. GMAR is holding a rally they've organised on Tuesday at 10AM outside Preston Town Hall calling for the end of child removals.

Send us a text and chime in!Psychology Professor Nichole Guzzo earned her doctorate this year – and then some. Last Wednesday, the Arizona School Administrators (ASA) notified Dr. Guzzo's dissertation chair that her thesis was selected as the Top Dissertation from Arizona's universities in 2026. Dr. Guzzo wrote “The Interaction between Course Duration and Discipline for Student Outcomes in Online Accelerated Courses,” as part of her doctoral studies at Grand Canyon University. It examined student outcomes in accelerated, online courses in Psychology, Math, and Biology versus traditional online learning models. “I think mine stood out because of the complex statistical design,” she said.

In Jim's hands today is a Press Release from the office of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Senator Johnson is chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Last Wednesday he held a hearing titled, "Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals." It's a hearing that drew little media attention. Along with this hearing, Senator Johnson released a report of approximately 600 pages of records that detailed how beginning in early 2021, FDA officials became aware of a new "state of the art" data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 shots. Rather than adopt this method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented the FDA from detecting adverse events. Senator Johnson indicates that Peter Marks, head of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was treating vaccine injuries that were life-threatening and people were pleading with the FDA and NIH to make this pubic, but never did so. Senator Johnson indicated, "We've got a real big problem in this country about vaccine-injury deniers." Again, these vaccine injuries are real, but it's being denied. While this hearing was far longer than a Crosstalk program, listen to Senator Johnson's opening remarks, Ranking Member Senator Blumenthal, the lead Democrat of the Committee, and the witnesses.

Well, it was time to host the second “Say The Thing” of 2026. We had a strong card of about 20 readers of poetry, stories, and essays at MEOW — and as the host and MC I decided to read a couple of new poems as part of my intro to the event — that way no one feels they're being forced to go first; our ‘first' real reader of the night can technically say they went second. The ice is broken. That's the idea.Anyway, above you'll hear the audio of two poems I wrote this week, and shared here recently. The brand new Olfactory: And the almost brand new ode to mixtapes, C-90:So if you'd like to read the text instead, or along with the audio it's there above in both cases. Hope you enjoy.Such a great night. Wonderful turnout for Say The Thing: Come along next month if you're in Wellington. Last Wednesday in May, 7.30pm at MEOW, sign up on the night from 7pm.

Last Wednesday, the British Isles did something remarkable. Wind turbines across the United Kingdom generated twenty-three thousand eight hundred and eighty megawatts of electricity — an all-time national record. That is enough to power twenty-three million homes at the same moment. And while wind was hitting its record high, natural gas fell to just two-point-three percent of total British supply. A two-year low for gas. In a single day. Britain is not stopping there. The Crown Estate has announced a new offshore wind leasing round, targeting six gigawatts of new capacity off the northeast coast of England — enough to power six million more homes. And now the United Kingdom is building the physical infrastructure to match that ambition. Ministers have committed up to sixty-four million pounds in support for Port Talbot in South Wales. The plan: the UK’s first dedicated assembly port for floating offshore wind. Associated British Ports says total investment could exceed five hundred million pounds once fully built out. The goal is the Celtic Sea, where developers are targeting four gigawatts of floating wind. Four gigawatts. Floating. In open ocean. Floating offshore wind is the industry’s next frontier. But it is also the industry’s most expensive and complicated technology. Consider what happened quietly this last week off the coast of Caithness, Scotland. Ørsted, the world’s largest offshore wind developer, and BlueFloat Energy have both walked away from the Stromar floating wind project. Stromar is a one-point-five gigawatt floating wind farm — sixty to one hundred meters of water depth, fifty kilometers offshore, enough power for one-point-five million homes. Construction was not expected to begin until twenty twenty-eight. Now Nadara, the project’s remaining partner, holds one hundred percent of Stromar alone. For Ørsted, the exit signals tighter capital discipline. For floating wind, it signals just how difficult the economics remain. And yet, across the North Sea, a solution is taking shape. The University of Strathclyde and Japan Marine United signed a Memorandum of Understanding last week. Their mission: standardise and mass-produce floating offshore wind turbines. Japan Marine United has been developing floating wind technology since 1999. Their Jade Wind floater is headed for large-scale government-led deployment in Japan. Standardisation — the same answer that made fixed-bottom offshore wind competitive. So here is where we are. Britain just broke its wind generation record. The Crown Estate is opening new ocean for development. Port Talbot is becoming a floating wind assembly hub. And Strathclyde and Japan Marine United are building the engineering knowledge to make it all affordable. Two companies stepped back from Stromar. But the Celtic Sea is still waiting. And that’s the state of the wind industry on the 30th of March 2026. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

The CBS reality show “Survivor” is now in its 50th season. The show has changed since it first aired in 2000, but the basic premise is the same. A group of people live together on an island. They have to survive with very little food, living outdoors in shelters they make themselves.  Each week, the tribe votes out another person. People lie and manipulate, trying to make it to the end for the chance to win a million dollars. Its host, Jeff Probst, has also been with the show since the beginning. Last Wednesday, Milwaukee Survivor fans got together for a watch party at the Falcon Bowl, where they had the chance to meet some of the show's contestants, including one who returned for Season 50. His name is Benjamin Wade, but he goes by the nickname “Coach.”  WUWM's Emily Files stopped by to hear from fans and Coach himself about why they think Survivor is still going strong after 25 years. 

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri shares insights from her chapter in the book The Healing Church, where she explores the impact of sex addiction on the betrayed partner. Can Jesus lie? I feel like Jesus is speaking to me about things like not wearing earrings. I'm in recovery and have been a substance abuse counselor for a decade, but I still feel shame. How can I find balance when I feel like I'm an imposter? Did I do the right thing by protecting my mother from a will that was ill-conceived? My father was very sick when he gave his sister and me everything in his will, but it says he wasn't married when he was. Last Wednesday, we had a blow-up with our 15-year-old foster daughter. Then she made false accusations against us. What do I do?

Last Wednesday people all across the country dawned ashes on their forehead to mark Ash Wednesday. One person who did so on Virgin Media's The Tonight Show was Ireland Editor with the Irish Independent Fionnán Sheehan was met with online trolling. Fionnán spoke to Anton about what he experienced.

Last Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 130,000 in January, its strongest monthly growth in over a year, while the unemployment rate fell from 4.4% to 4.3%. The healthcare sector accounted for most of the growth with 82,000 new jobs, but declining employment in state and federal governments, finance, and the information sector offset some of those gains. The release was delayed five days due to the partial government shutdown, which ended on February 3.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Last Wednesday a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A video captured by a bystander of the incident immediately went viral along with footage taken from other angles. Fox News reacted immediately by blaming Democratic lawmakers and the woman herself.The Trump administration also promptly blamed Good and cleared the agent of any wrongdoing despite the lack of an investigation into the incident.According to the government Good purposefully tried to ram Ross with her car. Many experts, from multiple media outlets, concluded that the Trump administration's official explanation of the event doesn't line up with the video evidence.In nearly every case of a fatal shooting by law enforcement state or federal authorities would at least launch some type of investigation into the incident before making any public declarations.In this case an unarmed woman was shot in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses and the Trump administration called her a domestic terrorist before her body was cold.The federal government has taken steps to prevent officials in Minnesota from conducting their own investigation.The folks at Fox News were more than happy to attack Good's character and repeat the Trump administration's talking points. Jesse Watters even took things further when he predicted a wave of suicidal leftist activists sacrificing their lives to make a political point.No one disputes that after Good was shot three times in a matter of seconds some of the ICE agents fled the scene, including the shooter, and that it took Emergency Medical Services six minutes to administer aid to a U.S. citizen who was killed by the hand of an immigration and customs enforcement agent.After the shots were fired and Good's car drove out of control an agent, some have disputed that it was Ross himself, called the young mother a “f*cking b***h.”Government officials have since reported that Ross suffered internal bleeding from the incident. In the video evidence he walks away seemingly unharmed. He showed no signs of injury. It's not even clear in the video evidence if he was struck by the car.I'm not a criminal forensics expert but The NY Times did do an exhaustive analysis of the first video that was shot by a bystander you can find it here.

Have you ever had to wait for something? Maybe it was a toy that you wanted, maybe your parents had to wait for a different job. There are lots of times that we have to wait, and that can be hard, can't it? But it's important to trust that God will work things out in His timing.

Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that Taylor Farms New Jersey, a vegetable processing subsidiary of bagged salad maker Taylor Farms, faces more than $1 million in fines following an inspection triggered by a workplace fatality in Swedesboro, New Jersey. The investigation began in May 2025 after a worker was killed while cleaning a machine, and OSHA inspectors found 16 willful and repeated safety violations related to a lack of lockout/tagout procedures and training during sanitation activities. The safety agency proposed $1,125,484 in citations. OSHA also hit PL Solutions Group, which does business as People Logistics, with three serious violations and penalties of $33,100. The on-site temporary employment agency was fined for failing to implement or train workers on lockout/tagout procedures.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. New York correspondent Luke Tress joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Last Wednesday, roughly 200 rowdy protesters disrupted an Israel-immigration event outside the Park East Synagogue. Tress was there and paints a picture of the events and the evolving responses from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Days after US pro-Palestinian protesters shouted chants including “Globalize the Intifada” and “Death to the IDF” outside the Upper East Side synagogue, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who is Jewish, apologized to the congregation during Shabbat services. Is this allaying the community's fears? We then dive into the question several lawfare groups are now asking: Can a US law protecting abortion clinics push back against protests at synagogues? This week, anti-Zionist activist groups in New York City backed a Muslim leader who led a walkout from a college interfaith event last week after decrying a fellow panelist as “Zionist.” We learn how the mass exodus was basically shrugged off by those in attendance -- but why it is important to illuminate this and other similar events. Jewish groups at the University of Pennsylvania have expressed concern after federal authorities pressed the university in recent days to provide personal information about Jewish staffers in an investigation meant to combat antisemitism on campus. Tress untangles this saga. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Last Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed legislation to reopen the government that contained several additional provisions, including a ban on products made with THC derived from hemp. The ban reverses a provision in the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized the sale of hemp products with a low concentration of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC); that 2018 measure inadvertently allowed for legal production of THC-infused drinks, creams, gummies, oils, and vapes. The new provision is not an outright ban on all hemp and hemp products, but it narrows the definition of lawful hemp and imposes restrictions on both total THC limits and cannabinoids synthesized from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD).

What a difference 5 days makes. Last Wednesday, a certain political party was over the Moon with free bus rides, but now with the Senate vote to re-open Government, the sky is falling!

Last Wednesday, Red Wine & Blue was joined by Heather Cox Richardson for a virtual rally that celebrated America. After all, MAGA doesn't own patriotism or the flag — and the No Kings protests last month were anything but “hate America rallies.” Exercising our First Amendment rights and protecting democracy against authoritarianism is as patriotic as it gets!We wanted to build on that momentum to get us through election day, so we held our own Love America Rally last Wednesday night. And we weren't just joined by Heather that night — tens of thousands of women were on the call to celebrate America. We hope you're as inspired by Heather's words as we were.Tomorrow is election day! Make sure that you vote and that everyone you know votes too. This is our America and tomorrow is our chance to start taking it back.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

The attack took place at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsell, Manchester, yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the most holy day in the Jewish calendar. We reflect on how the Jewish community are feeling, and in particular the impact of this attack on families and children. Anita is joined by Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger and Angela Epstein, who's the presenter of the podcast Jewish Mother Me. Last Wednesday, seven men were sentenced after being convicted in June of various child sex offences relating to two unnamed girls in Rochdale between 2001 and 2006. Woman's Hour reflects on what this prosecution means for women who have experienced sexual abuse?

That surge in the value of gold is reshaping the jewellery industry, from supply chains to design choices, while consumers are being nudged toward silver and other materials. To find out more about the impact of the jewellery industry, Anita talks to jewellery writer Rachael Taylor and designer and maker Sia Taylor.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

It's Wednesday, July 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Muslims kill Syrian pastor and 20 members of family Syrian Muslims took the life of a pastor and 20 members of his family over the weekend. Khalid Mezher was the pastor of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in southern Syria. He and his family converted to Christianity years ago out of a religious group in the area known as the Druze.  Violence between Druze militias and fighters from the Bedouin tribes, which are mostly Muslim, has taken the lives of hundreds of people over the last week.  Evangelical leader Johnnie Moore wrote on X, “Pastor Khalid died for a faith that many Christians hardly live. They are now martyrs who gave their entire lives, in difficult circumstances, to share the love of Jesus with their neighbors and beloved Syria.” In Matthew 16:25, Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Puerto Rico protects kids from transsexual drugs and surgeries Puerto Rico is protecting children from transsexual drugs and surgeries. Last Wednesday, Republican Governor Jenniffer González Colón signed the Law for the Protection of the Health and Well-being of Minors in Puerto Rico. Harming children with such transsexual procedures is punishable by 15 years in prison.   Puerto Rico joins nearly 30 states in America with similar bans. Japan to invest $550 billion into America President Donald Trump secured a great deal with Japan, reports The Epoch Times. On Truth Social, President Trump announced, “We just completed a massive deal with Japan, perhaps the largest deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 billion into the United States, which will receive 90% of the profits. “This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their country to trade including cars and trucks, rice and certain other agricultural products. … Japan will pay reciprocal tariffs to the United States of 15%.” CBS/Skydance to pay Trump Foundation $36 million President Trump recently reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount, the parent of CBS News, over what he claimed was misleading editing of a pre-election interview with the Democratic candidate for president, Kamala Harris, reports The Guardian. While CBS initially called the lawsuit “completely without merit”, Paramount is in the midst of an $8 billion sale to the Hollywood studio Skydance Media, which requires the approval of federal regulators. President Trump has claimed that the future owner of CBS will provide him with $20 million worth of advertising and programming – days after the network canceled The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our historic lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount. … CBS and its corporate owners knew that they defrauded the American people, and were desperate to settle. Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 million more from the new owners, in advertising, PSAs, or similar programming, for a total of over $36 million dollars.” He added, “This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit. The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American people are OVER.” Federal workforce shrunk by 22,000 people A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond found the U.S. federal workforce has shrunk by over 22,000 people from January to May of this year. Chuck Ezell, the Acting Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, said, “The American people deserve a government that is lean, efficient, and focused on core priorities. This data marks the first measurable step toward President Trumpʼs vision of a disciplined, accountable federal workforce and itʼs only the beginning.” Trump has also extended his hiring freeze on federal workers through October. Foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes The National Association of Realtors reports that foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes from April 2024 through March 2025. The number of home purchases by foreign buyers rose to over 78,000 this year. That's up from last year's report, but still down from 284,000 purchases in 2017.  The top destination states for foreign buyers include Florida, California, Texas, and New York. The most popular origin countries of international buyers are China, Canada, Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom. China's share of buyers has gone up significantly since 2007. Star from The Cosby Show drowned Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who portrayed the teenage son Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”, died at 54 in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica, reports the Associated Press. Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said Warner drowned Sunday afternoon, July 20th on a beach on Costa Rica's Limón province when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. His character, Theo, was the only son among four daughters in the household of Cosby's Cliff Huxtable and Phylicia Rashad's Clair Huxtable on the NBC sitcom. He was one of the prime representations of American teenage life and Black boyhood on a show that was the most popular in America for much of its run from 1984 to 1992. Christian golfer says priorities are faith, family, then golf And finally, Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship earlier this week. Also known as the British Open, it's the oldest golf tournament in the world.  The American professional golfer has won 20 times worldwide since 2022. After his latest victory, Scheffler told reporters he enjoys golf but that faith and family are his greatest priorities.  SCHEFFLER: “I would say my greatest priorities are my faith and my family. Those come first for me. Golf is third in that I've said it for a long time. Golf is not how I identify myself. I don't identify myself by winning tournaments, chasing trophies, being famous or whatever it is. “This week, I was the best player in the world. I'm sitting here with the trophy. We're gonna start all over in Memphis, back to even par. Show goes on. I don't feel any different because I've won a golf tournament. This is not the ‘be all end all' for me, but I'm extremely grateful for it. “I don't think that I'm anything special, just because some weeks, I'm better at shooting a lower score than other guys are.” Scheffler's love for family inspired a Nike ad that celebrates fatherhood. The footwear company posted a picture of Scheffler on the golf course with his infant son. Nike wrote, “Priorities unchanged. Another major secured. The wins keep coming on and off the course for Scottie Scheffler.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. 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.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The Open Championship may have turned into a snooze-fest on Sunday as Scottie Scheffler cruised to victory for the third leg of the career Grand Slam, but his sermon at the Tuesday Press Conference definitly left a lot to talk about. Plus Alex and Michael share other random tidbits from the season's final major. The Barracuda Championship featured that odd scoring system, plus a vacancy from a YouTube star, and a breakup from everyone's favorite worst player on tour. The PGA TOUR comes back stateside to finish up the regular season as enter the silly part of the season where it all matters where you finish. Alex headed to Austin Comic Con this weekend, and shares a Q&A with "The Iron Claw," Kevin Von Erich. In Tuned In, Michael is awaiting this weekend's release of "Happy Gilmore 2," and Alex shares spills some tea on that certain couple from that Coldplay concert last week that everyone is transfixed with. This week's guest is Tripp Davis, a renowned golf course architect, and former All-American golfer, who returns to the podcast to chat with Alex about his newest project in Athens, GA with The Rose. The WNBA's All-Star Weekend was marred with "Pay Us What You Owe Us" t-shirts, and some hot shooting from the game's best. Last Wednesday was the saddest day in sports with nothing to watch, which means ESPN handed out awards an the guy's celebrate their alma mater as Ilona Maher took home a top prize. Baseball heads into the second half of the season, and as Alex heads to Illinois and Wisconsin for the next few weeks, Michael wonders if Alex will go see the red-hot Brewers. As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex shares his incredible experience at the iconic Oscar's in Las Vegas. Support our friends!

“If you want rest, you have to take it. You have to resist the lure of busyness, make time for rest, take it seriously, and protect it from a world that is intent on stealing it.”  That's a quote from Alex Pang's book, Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less. How many of you are taking a holiday (“vacation” for my American friends) this year?  I know that for many—myself included—taking a holiday is not something they find comfortable. They know they need it, yet there's just so much to do and so little time to do it.  Anyway, having just returned from a ten-day holiday, I thought I would share with you some ways you can get some significant rest and still use your holiday time for some useful work.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The Time-Based Productivity Course Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 377 Hello, and welcome to episode 377 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. For many people, going on holiday is something they look forward to. It's an opportunity to get away from the daily grind of meetings, deadlines, emails, and messages.  Yet for others, it can be more stressful than when at work. There's a worry that something important will be missed or that an emergency of their making will occur while they're away.  However, there's is something else a holiday offers you, that few people ever take advantage of. In this week's episode I will share with you the things I do while away.  Now, some of what I do may not be for you—I run my own business which means I need to be watching, at the very least, what is happening within the business each day. Yet, many of the things I will suggest may be just the thing for you to help you get on top of your work.  Now, before I get into the ideas, just a quick heads-up. Before I went away, I launched a brand new, ground-shattering course. The Time-Based Productivity course.  It's an evolution of everything I've taught over the last several years.  You have no control over what's coming in each day, yet feel you must finish everything. Trying to decide what's important, what can wait, and what must be done right now causes you to freeze, become anxious, and then spend time reorganising all your tasks.  It's unsustainable and leaves you feeling lost, out of control, and overwhelmed. Enter time-based productivity, where what matters is how much time you allocate to the different types of work you need to do.  It's a method that works, and will transform your relationship with time once and for all.  There's currently an early-bird discount of 20% on the course. So, if you want to become less stressed, more in control of your time, and have the time to do the things you want to do, this course is for you.  Oh, and I should point out that this course also gives you free access to my Areas of Focus and my all-new Time Sector System course.  Okay, now on with the podcast. First up, we have to accept that even though we are on holiday, email and messages are not going to stop coming in. They just don't.  If you're employed, I would strongly advise that you set up an auto-respond email that informs the sender that you are away and will not be checking your email while away or responding to anything when you get back.  Instead, inform them to resend the email on the day AFTER you get back.  This does two things. The first is it allows you, if you wish, to delete anything that came in while you were away. For those of you who are more squeamish, you can archive them instead.  The second is it sorts out the important from the not important automatically for you. If something's important, you will get the email again the day after you return to work.  Why the day after you return? Well, I can promise you on your return to work, there's going to be a lot of catching up to do. You don't want a lot of emails coming in on that day causing you to instantly feel overwhelmed on your first day back.  For those of you, like me, who cannot, or are not willing to, stay away from their email, then setting up a routine can help.  I travelled to Ireland. That's eight hours behind Korea, so my sleep schedule changes. Normally, I am a night owl. I prefer to work late into the evening and start the day around 8:30 am.  When I am in Europe, that changes and I become an early bird. I normally wake up around 4:00 am and go to bed around 8:30 pm.  I use the two hours between 4:30 and 6:30 am to deal with communications and admin tasks that, as a business owner, are my responsibility to deal with.  It's just two hours a day done before the day gets started.  The great thing with this approach is that once I've done it, that's it for the day. I won't return to my email or messages for the rest of the day and I get on and enjoy the holiday.  This is a better approach than to come back to 800+ emails and messages on your first day. If you're going straight into meetings and catching up with what has happened while you were away, you've just created a huge backlog for yourself that will take weeks to get back on top of.  Next. One of the biggest issues I get from my coaching clients is they don't have any time to step back and define what is important to them, reorganise their daily structure or to establish what their core work is.  Holiday time is great for this. There's often a lot of travelling involved, and it's likely to be with your family. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with your partner about what you want as a family.  My wife and I use flying time to talk about what we want to accomplish as a family over the next year. It's not planned. It's spontaneous. And, it's usually when we are flying back home rather than when we fly out. Yet, we always do it.  I remember when I was employed and suffering from what we called “the holiday blues”. This is where you feel slightly depressed on your return to work for a week or two. You miss the sense of relaxation and have nothing to look forward to except for the daily drudge of work and meetings. Having a talk with your partner and or family on your return journey can give you a multitude of things you can do as a couple or family. Giving you something to look forward to.  If you're taking a summer holiday, this is also a good time to review how you are doing on your goals this year.  When this year started, I was 88 kilograms (about 195 pounds or nearly 14 stone). That's way above my target weight of between 80 and 83 kilograms (175 to 180 pounds or 12 ½ to 13 stone)  So, my number one health and fitness goal for 2025 was to get my weight back to within my normal range. That was achieved, but, while away I ate too much—don't we all when on holiday?—and need to refocus my attention on getting it back.  Fortunately, it's only two or three pounds, so the target it to get it back within acceptable limits by the end of July.  This means, I need to quickly get back into my exercise routine and eat healthily. It's a great way to get yourself refocused on your return.  Another thing you can do while away is to do some digital cleaning up. I love this time.  While you're on holiday there is likely to be pockets of time you can use to clean up your notes, calendar and task manager.  Let's be honest, when we're in the day to day hustle, we throw a lot of useless information into our notes and add tasks into our task manager that we know we will never do.  This is a wonderful time to clear these out.  Last Wednesday, my first day back at work, my notes were organised, my task manger was clean and tight and my calendar was cleared of conflicts. What a wonderful way to restart.  What I noticed was I felt organised, focused and ready for anything. Isn't that what a holiday is meant to do for you.  Yet, if you don't do any cleaning up, you come back to a mess. Nothing has changed and the very things you hate about your work life continue. No control, a messed up list of things to do and a calendar that fills you with dread.  And, something powerful happens when you do this learning up. You learn a lot.  You discover better workflows and processes and you gain a sense of optimism about how the changes you make now will bring you incredible rewards once you return to work.  I often find I cannot wait to get restarted because I'm excited to test out new ways of managing my work day.  And let's be honest, cleaning things up doesn't require a lot of mental energy. It's the kind of thing you can do in the evenings with a laptop on your knees while enjoying a cocktail or two. (Although not too many. You don't want to delete important things)  Now, you may be thinking ‘no way! I'm on holiday I don't want to deal with any work issues'. And I get that.  But, and it's big but, your holiday may only last a week or two, and then you're back at work. Doing all or some of these tips, will last far longer and leave you with less stress and overwhelm.  It gives you optimism, and helps you to refocus on the important things in life. Surely, a few hours out of your holiday time to do some cleaning up is worth it to feel that way?  In the past I've not done any of these things and just found myself in the same mess I was in before my holiday. It's not pleasant and that's when I struggled with the holiday blues.  Now, I do these things and I've never experienced holiday blues and instead am excited to get back to work feeling refreshed and energised.  It's your choice. But I can assure you, if you do all of these or just some of them on your next holiday, you will continue to do it for every holiday in the future.  Thank you for listening and don't forget to check out the brand new Time Based Productivity Course.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

The Social Security Administration has moved on to its third chief information officer of the Trump administration, tapping yet another individual with Department of Government Efficiency affiliations. According to an update to CIO.gov, a federal page that features IT leaders in the government, Aram Moghaddassi has taken over as SSA's top IT official after previously working at the agency in a different role. Moghaddassi, who has also worked at the Labor Department, was at one point given access to IT systems at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, FedScoop previously reported. Per his LinkedIn profile, Moghaddassi previously worked for two Elon Musk-owned companies: the social media platform X and Neuralink. Moghaddassi is at least the third DOGE associate to be named CIO at SSA since President Donald Trump took office in January. By and large, people don't seem to be trying to access technology created by DeepSeek — the Chinese AI firm that's rattled leading U.S. AI companies and lawmakers — on government systems. But it has happened at least once at a federal civilian agency. Since January, there's been one attempt to access DeepSeek at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a spokesperson for the agency confirmed to FedScoop. The USDA successfully prevented access to the technology and has blocked DeepSeek through Microsoft's Defender for Cloud Application service since Jan. 28, the spokesperson added. DeepSeek is banned along with other public AI sites “based on risk levels that Microsoft provides in their Defender applications,” the person said. The agency did not say whether there were attempts to access the technology before the block was implemented. Lawmakers are increasingly concerned about DeepSeek, a China-based large language model developer that threatens the dominance of American AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. In the view of many federal officials, the company's technology raises serious security concerns. Last Wednesday, lawmakers proposed the No Adversarial Al Act, which would ban the use of DeepSeek on government devices, create a registry of foreign adversary AI systems and establish a method for these technologies to be delisted.

 It's Monday, June 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistan passes law that prohibits to curb child marriage On May 30th, despite fierce opposition from Islamist groups in Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari signed into law a landmark bill to curb child marriage, setting the minimum age for marriage for both genders at 18 years, reports Morning Star News. Opposition included the Council of Islamic Ideology, which declared that classifying marriage under the age of 18 as rape did not conform with Islamic law. The bill says that any man over 18 who marries an underage girl could face up to three years of rigorous imprisonment. Specifically, the bill states, “Living with a child under 18 in a marital relationship will be considered statutory rape.” Sherry Rehman, who introduced the bill in the Senate on May 19 after its passage in the National Assembly on May 16, described the legislation as a crucial step toward protecting the rights of women and children. Typically, kidnapped girls in Pakistan, some as young as 10, are abducted, forced to convert to Islam, and raped under cover of Islamic “marriages” and are then pressured to record false statements in favor of the kidnappers, 15 percent more Scottish mothers aborted their Down Syndrome babies Public Health Scotland revealed there were 18,710 abortions in Scotland in 2024, the highest number on record, reports Right to Life UK. This represents an increase of 468 abortions. Plus, there was a 15 percent increase in the number of babies with Down's syndrome who were aborted. Worse yet, since 2021, the number of babies with Down's syndrome who were aborted has increased by 81 percent. In 2024, 41 percent of abortions in Scotland were repeat abortions. In Psalm 139:13 and 16, David tells God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. … Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” Elon Musk's return to the private sector Elon Musk announced on social media that he is leaving his role in the Trump administration, reports The Guardian. Spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk helped to cut $175 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse. Plus, D.O.G.E. helped to cut nearly 12 percent, or 260,000, of the 2.3 million-strong federal civilian workforce, largely through threats of firings, buyouts, and early retirement offers. After receiving a gold key from President Trump on Friday in the Oval Office, Musk said this. MUSK: “This is not the end of D.O.G.E., but really the beginning. My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end. It was a limited time thing. It's 134 days, I believe, which ends in a few days. But the D.O.G.E. team will only grow stronger. I'm confident that we will see a trillion dollars of savings. So, I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president, continuing to support the D.O.G.E. team.” Musk's political activities have drawn protests and some investors have called for him to leave his work as Trump's adviser and manage Tesla more closely. Kennedy Center VP fired over speaking truth about homosexuality A prominent pro-Trump Christian says he was fired from his role as vice president of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. just because he refused to renounce his belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. Floyd Brown, the founder of Western Journal, had been recruited about a month ago to serve as the performing arts center's vice president. He has spoken bluntly of his biblical understanding about God's design for our sexuality. BROWN: “Homosexuality is a punishment that comes upon a nation that has rejected God. They're debasing themselves and their humanity.” Leviticus 18:22 states: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination."  Floyd accused Kennedy Center President Ric Grenell, a homosexual who is in a so-called “marriage” to a man, of being intimidated by a CNN hit piece that highlighted what the news network called Brown's “anti-gay” rhetoric. Kentucky state legislator abandons sinking Democratic Party Kentucky state Sen. Robin Webb has become so disenchanted with the Democratic Party that she became a Republican, reports The Western Journal. She said, “While it's cliché, it's true: I didn't leave the party — the party left me.” She added, “As the Democratic Party continues its lurch to the left and its hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development in my region, I no longer feel it represents my values. It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat.” YMCA's pro-transgender policy endangers girls Do you know what YMCA stands for? Young Men's Christian Association. These days, there's nothing Christian about the YMCA's woke, gender-confused policy at overnight camps. Last Wednesday, the American Parents Coalition urged parents to “beware” that the YMCA allows boys, pretending to be girls, in girls' spaces like overnight cabins, locker rooms, and showers, reports The Daily Wire. Plus, the YMCA may not inform parents of their perverted policy which rightly raises privacy and safety concerns.

The children of Israel had been in bondage for years and years and years - like a very long time out! But now they were free! God had delivered them, setting them free. They left Egypt, eager to start a new life...yet there were still some BIG obstacles in their way. But God had a plan- like He always does and we are going to find out how He delivered them yet again!Year A Quarter 1 Week 21All Bible verses are from the NKJVHymn: Shall We Gather at the RiverWrite to Ms. Katie: seedpod@startingwithjesus.comKatie's Korner: https://startingwithjesus.com/katies-korner/Find the Lessons Here:Kindergarten https://bit.ly/SeedPodKLessonsPrimary https://bit.ly/SeedPodPLessonsConnect with Us:Website: https://startingwithjesus.comStarting With Jesus - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/StartingWithJesusSeedPod - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCvU2FBPEL5-Zi2QW0STVLgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingwithjesusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/startingwithjesusAcknowledgments:Bible Readings this week: FaithPodcast Producer: Katie ChitwoodSound Engineer: Dillon AustinMy Bible First, https://bit.ly/SeedPodLesson for use of their Bible Lesson curriculum.AudioVerse, https://www.audioverse.org/ for partnering with us and supporting our ministry.Lindsey Mills, for writing and performing our SeedPod Kids Theme Song & Background Music.To learn more about her music or to get her CD, email her: lindsey@startingwithjesus.com 

In the final Wednesday edition of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump goes deep into Vatican intrigue, papal history, and movie symbolism, using the 1968 film The Shoes of the Fisherman as a jumping-off point for a wide-ranging cultural and historical analysis. With the next real-life papal conclave approaching, Matt unpacks the power dynamics inside the College of Cardinals, explaining the ideological battle between modernist and traditionalist factions, potential candidates like Cardinal Robert Sarah and Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and why the next Pope could shape global spiritual and political narratives. The episode weaves through Catholic tradition, the Latin Mass debate, and the unlikely return of Rome's influence, all while delivering a personal and humorous farewell to the show's longtime midweek time slot. Along the way, Matt dives into the Vatican's archives, Jesuit legacy, and even the Phantom Time Hypothesis, suggesting 300 years of recorded history might never have happened. With pop culture references, a love for historical cinema, and a mix of scholarly depth and casual wit, this episode blends religion, geopolitics, and storytelling in true Spellbreakers style. As the show prepares to move to Friday nights, Matt invites listeners to continue the journey with him into deeper territory, and maybe even a new pope.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 117: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has already LOST the tariff wars he finally claimed he paused yesterday (without really pausing). Already. Took him only eight days. From Liberation Day to a day when in any other war, literal or figurative, he would have been deposed - 8 days. And never mind how much YOU AND I think he’s crazy; a high-priced adviser to macro fund managers says “a few have quietly wondered if the president might be insane." And after Wall Street came off the ledge and got back to where it was Monday – only, what, seven trillion lost – he declared victory. “Up 2500 points. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record.” Because he can’t admit he made a mistake; his head would fall off. His approval numbers have cratered. He’s underwater by an AVERAGE of six points. LAST Wednesday it was an average of TWO points. Since the election he’s lost 20 points among those over age 65; he’s lost 50 points among those under age 30. And he still raised the tariffs on the Chinese again – to 125 percent – because he’s mad at them. Because they of course are winning. Because the Chinese are not negotiating; the Chinese are as they have been for centuries, waiting for their opponents to DIE. The Chinese are apparently dumping our 10-Year Treasuries, driving up our debt. And they’ve opened trading partnership negotiations with the head of the European Union. And for all the claims about pausing the tariffs, a universal TEN percent tariff will be maintained. He didn't pause anything. He simply lost everything. B-Block (27:10) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Joe Manchin writes a book celebrating his middle of the road bona fides. The cover photo shows only the right half of his face, naturally. Marjorie Stupid Greene reveals she does not know what the word "Merch" means. And the president of the hockey writers' association, a bonehead named Frank Seravalli, not only defends Wayne Gretzky's attacks on Canada but his bringing FBI Director and Election Denier Kash Patel to the Ovechkin game - and calls CRITICISM of those decisions "political BS." Instead of, maybe, calling out Gretzky for BRINGING political BS into a moment of sports history. C-Block (49:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: She's still at it. Even as Trump's boasts of pausing the tariffs while INCREASING them on China and maintaining them on everybody else, Laura Ingraham is still carrying his water for him. It's time for me to review my dates with her last century, and the extraordinary revelation she made during the first of them about the then-nascent Republican-Media Industrial Complex.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Four Eritrean Christian leaders languishing in prison For more than 20 years, four courageous Christian pastors have been unjustly detained in Eritrea, Africa without charges, reports International Christian Concern. Their crime? Practicing their faith and serving their communities. Pastor Haile Naizghe, a former senior accountant with World Vision, dedicated his life to spiritual care. Dr. Kiflu Gebremeskel, a mathematics lecturer with a Ph.D. from the United States, committed to education and faith. Pastor Meron Gebreselasie is an anesthetist who provided critical medical care to his neighbors. Pastor Kidane Weldou, a secondary school biology teacher, inspired many. These men were arrested in the early 2000s for their leadership in local churches. Instead of fostering their invaluable contributions to Eritrean society, they remain imprisoned under appalling conditions, without access to critical medical care.  Hebrews 13:3 says, "Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them." Dr. Gebremeskel has high blood pressure, and is in poor health. And Pastor Nayzgi has severe skin problems and has been suffering for a long time. Sign a petition created by International Christian Concern to demand accountability from the Eritrean government. Click a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. According to Open Doors, Eritrea, Africa is the sixth worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Trump revokes security clearances for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden In a memo published late Friday night, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to remove the security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Joe Biden, and other former high-ranking Democrats and their Republican allies who fought vigorously to prevent Trump from being re-elected in 2024, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Trump wrote, “I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information.” Two others denied access are two former Republican U.S. House members, Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who served on the disreputable January 6 Committee. Top Biden prosecutor found dead at 43 after indicting 4 Russians Former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Jessica Aber, who was found dead at the age of 43 by Virginia authorities on Saturday, was at the helm of high-profile investigations into intelligence leaks, allegations of war crimes against Russian-linked individuals, and people suspected of providing sensitive U.S. technology to Moscow before she stepped down at the start of the year, reports Newsweek. In late 2023, Aber was also involved in an indictment against four Russia-affiliated individuals charged with torture, inhuman treatment, and unlawful confinement of a U.S. national in Ukraine after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In a news release Saturday, the Alexandria Police Department confirmed Aber's death without noting the cause. Boxer George Foreman, a devout Christian, dead at 76 Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, known as much for his gregarious personality as his vicious right hook, died Friday, reports ABC News. He was 76 years old. A two-time heavyweight champion, he also won gold at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics against Russian boxer Ionas Chepulis. ANNOUNCER: “The fight will continue at the count of nine. Chepulis looks in very bad shape. George is going after the Russian. The referee warns George for holding and hitting. “Foreman throwing bombs in there. Ripping punches by George Foreman. He's all over the Russian. Chepulis looks all through. George pouring it on, and the referee stops the fight in the second round. It's all over. George Foreman wins the gold medal. “There's George holding up the American flag in the center of the ring before thousands of impressed spectators and millions more of television viewers. An inspiring ending to Olympic boxing at the Mexico City 19th Olympiad.” Appearing on 100 Huntley Street in April 2013, Foreman shared his testimony, on how God got his attention in a near death experience which he chronicled in his spiritual autobiography entitled, God In My Corner. FOREMAN: “I never could lose that thought: ‘You're gonna die. You're gonna die.' And in a dirty old dressing room, when I had all these wonderful homes, I was about to die. “I heard a voice within me say, ‘You believe in God. Why are you scared to die?' And I was afraid. I was scared. And I realized it was God talking with me. I didn't believe in religion. I thought that was for -- you got to be a sissy. Everybody who had taken up religion in those days had lost a wife or a husband or a boxing match, and they were carrying their Bibles as a baby. “I tried to make a deal in that dressing room. I said, ‘I can still box and give money to charity and for cancer.' And I heard a voice say, ‘I don't want your money. I want you!' And I remember tears. The first time I heard anyone turn down money, number one. Jesus Christ is coming alive in me. That's what happened to me in that dressing room.” In his post-boxing career, Foreman later saw success pitching the now-omnipresent countertop grill that bears his name. FOREMAN: “The George Foreman Grilling Machine is very special. Everyone should have one. Number one because this grill has something no other grill has: slants. You put your food in and the grease rolls down.” Unbelievably, he sold 100 million Foreman Grills, earning $5 million a month at one point. Idaho enacts law protecting conscience rights for medical professionals Idaho has enacted a new law designed to protect healthcare providers from having to perform or participate in procedures, like abortions or transgender surgeries, that violate their deeply held beliefs, reports The Christian Post. Last Wednesday, Idaho's Republican Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 59, also known as the Medical Ethics Defense Act. Samaritan's Purse needs volunteers and money to help storm victims And finally, as The Worldview reported on March 18th, severe weather took the lives of 42 Americans and left 100,000 without power across seven states. Samaritan's Purse said it's sending volunteers to assist with recovery efforts in Missouri and Oklahoma after powerful storms, fueled by heavy winds, ripped through the two states, reports The Christian Post. John Schultz, a Samaritan's Purse staffer, asked for help in Southeastern Missouri. SCHULTZ: “The wind is still continuing to rage after these storms that caused nearly 100 tornadoes across this whole region over the past weekend. So many homeowners have lost a lot here. “We need additional help from volunteers to come out and serve the homeowners in Jesus' name right here in Poplar Bluff, and north of here in Piedmont, Missouri.” If you would like to volunteer your help or send money to help the victims of the storms in the name of Jesus, click a special link through our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need,  but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, March 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
