It's Friday, August 29th, 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 California school district prohibits prayer before board meeting A California school district is fighting a legal battle to defend opening prayer, arguing it's perfectly permissible to open meetings by invoking God, reports Faithwire.com. Joel Oster, an attorney for Advocates For Faith & Freedom, told CBN News that Chino Valley Unified School District has taken decisive legal action to challenge what it believes to be an outdated injunction from the Ninth Circuit Court preventing the school board from opening with prayer. The Christian legal rights attorney explained himself. OSTER: “It's not a violation of the First Amendment. It's not an unconstitutional establishment of religion to just simply allow a deliberative body to open up its sessions with prayer.” Remember the truth of Ephesians 6:12. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser flips: Grateful Trump lowered crime After previously criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has since changed her stance, praising the federal operation for the reduction in homicides, carjackings, and gun crimes, reports One America News. On Wednesday, Bowser gave an update on the result of the federal takeover, revealing that violent crime is down by 45% since the operation began in comparison to crime statistics within the same period last year. The nation's capital has seen a 38% decrease in homicides, an 87% decrease in carjackings, and a 62% decrease in robberies. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Thursday that there have been 1,283 arrests and the seizure of 135 illegal guns as a result of the operation. In order to help drop the homicide rate even further, President Trump made this announcement. TRUMP: “If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we're going to be seeking the death penalty. And that's a very strong preventative we have no choice in DC and Washington. States are going to have to make their own decision. But if somebody kills somebody, it's the death penalty.” Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image." Trump fired CDC Director On Thursday, the White House said President Donald Trump has fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign, reports CNBC. Hours later, NBC News reported the White House had tapped Jim O'Neill, deputy secretary of the Health and Human Services department, to serve as acting director of the CDC. O'Neill was sworn in as deputy secretary in June, and is a key aide to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The temporary appointment suggests that Kennedy could have a clearer path to make changes to U.S. immunization policy, particularly after Monarez had refused some of his requests. The permanent replacement for Monarez will have to be confirmed, though, by the Senate. Homosexual CDC official, who called pregnant women pregnant “people,” resigned Plus, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a homosexual man married to his alleged husband, Michael Macneal, resigned at the CDC in part because he had been upset by Kennedy's decision to remove COVID-19 vaccines from immunization schedules for healthy children and pregnant women, reports The Epoch Times. And, like many on the left, Daskalakis insisted on calling pregnant women “pregnant people.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made this comment. LEAVITT: “I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned after the firing of Ms. Monarez. One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women as ‘pregnant people.' So, that's not someone who we want in this administration anyway. So, if people are not aligned with the President's vision and the Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again, then we will gladly show them the door.” Kirk Cameron warns America about Taylor Swift Christian actor Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift's cultural influence, reports The Christian Post. CAMERON: “This billionaire pop star in heels is crowned ‘the voice of a generation.' What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? “You get the most powerful sermon that America's youth will hear this year. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship!” Cracker Barrel has funded sexually perverse lifestyles for a decade Despite the fact that Cracker Barrel has been shamed into keeping its own nostalgic logo, the controversy extends beyond the logo and remodels. According to Fox Business, the rebranding saga began on May 16, 2024, when Julie Masino, the new president as of 2023, unveiled a “strategic transformation plan” to investors, emphasizing “refining” and “evolving the brand across all touchpoints.” Investor Sardar Biglari, a prominent shareholder, issued four warnings, including a 120-page slide deck and a seven-page letter to shareholders, labeling the rebrand “obvious folly” and warning of “shareholder value destruction.” He argued, “Cracker Barrel is not in dire need of a transformation; it's in dire need of a turnaround,” and criticized the board as “flawed” and “responsible for the current malaise.” Despite these warnings, Masino and the board pressed forward with a $700 million remodel at Cracker Barrel, ignoring Biglari's concerns and dismissing him as an “activist investor” with an “ultimate agenda.” However, from a Christian standpoint, the most objectionable aspect of Cracker Barrel is its apparent longstanding push of sexual perversion. Listen to what conservative activist Robby Starbuck said at the beginning of a 15-minute statement. STARBUCK: “We investigated Cracker Barrel, and what I'm about to show you is a company infested with left-wing activists who are more interested in safe spaces, pronouns, and virtue signaling than they are in their customers. “I think the best way to start is by telling you what you've been funding if you've gone to Cracker Barrel in recent years. So, let's start with Nashville [homosexual] Pride. Yes, Cracker Barrel is a proud sponsor of Nashville Pride, and had been part of it for over a decade, along with participating for multiple years in Evansville, Indiana's third River City Pride event. “They even made LGBTQ+ rocking chairs for these pride events. The same pride rocking chair that they put front and center in their Tennessee corporate office and at their 2019 managers conference for the Cracker Barrel managers. “And for a food service company, you might be thinking their focus should be good food and good service, but their own website says, ‘This year, Cracker Barrel's focus was to be a part of the [Homosexual/Transgender] Pride experience.' And they're very proud of their pro-trans rocking chairs. Let me tell you, they call it, ‘Bringing the front porch to Pride.' And if you think that's out of alignment with their customers, well, you're right!” Cracker Barrel leadership is recognizing the truth of Galatians 6:8. It says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 7: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: So WTF with Trump's health? Is he dying? Or is he fine? Clearly, there is a Donald Trump health crisis. What is its exact nature? Is he sick? Is he fine? Is there some acceptable explanation for his swollen face and narrowed eyes last shown publicly on Friday? And what does the enlarged left hand mean? And what does the bruised right one covered in make up MEAN? And are those ballooned engorged ankles as benign as claimed by the latest doctor, Captain Barbabella? Is the president of the United States – whoever he is, whatever we think of him - gravely ill? Would they tell us if he were? Would they tell… HIM? No, no, it’s all just “chronic venous insufficiency." Not serious. When we saw him Friday he looked like he'd just changed out of a hospital gown. And behind these questions – why is the national news media still giving the clear decline in Trump’s appearance and clarity and likely in his physical health less attention than the irrelevancy that is Biden’s cognition level from LAST YEAR? Lost in the Trumpstein cover-up, the Ghislaine Maxwell hostage video, Trump’s planned terrorism in Chicago, the John Bolton raid – Trump's face was so puffy – even for HIM - that his eyes looked like slits, barely open. Right hand with a contusion, clear tape, what could have been traces of blood near the fingers, running from the thumb through the middle finger and up, under the shirtsleeve, badly covered in make-up. Left hand so swollen it looked like something they’d draw for a cartoon character: the BASE of those fingers 40 or 50 percent larger than the ends and his ability to use the hand clearly impaired enough to make him hesitate. And we didn’t see the ankles this time. We saw them when he was in Alaska with Putin and they were wider than his feet. Last time he only lied about his health on every topic from getting a colonoscopy to nearly getting intubated for Covid. Before that his personal doctor said everything except 'he's immortal' then confessed Trump dictated the statement. What's going on? PLUS: Trump’s latest terrorist invasion will be of Chicago is about Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, just like LA was about Gavin Newsom, just like DC was about a Democratic local government, just like New York will be about Zohran Mamdani. And it’s all unconstitutional and more of the Trump dictatorship – unchallenged. And what, the Epstein Files were in John Bolton’s house? So Trump’s cult is going to believe ONE of Ghislaine Maxwell's 750 lies but not the other 749? B-Block (29:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Live in Washington, Pam Bondi reveals she thinks she's in Miami. A confidante of NYC Mayor Eric Adams gives a reporter cash wrapped up in a potato chip bag. And the Cracker Barrel protestors prove they'll eat anything as long as you call them Crackers. C-Block (45:30) SPORTSBALLCENTER/THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It is the greatest document ever written in the English language. Well, at least the greatest sports document. It is so amazing that for a long time, historians doubted it was real. It's called "Special Instructions To Players" and they had to read it, sign it, and hand it back because it was about banning them for life for excessive profanity. And there sure is excessive profanity! And I am going to read it to you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin and the media’s reaction to it. He criticizes outlets like CNN and MSNBC for allegedly rooting against Trump, arguing that they don’t want to see him succeed on the world stage. Brett then pivots to a broader critique of the Democratic Party, suggesting that many on the left are working against American interests and would abandon the country if given the chance. He calls out rising crime in Washington, D.C., highlighting a quote from Senator Markwayne Mullin, who says he doesn’t wear a seatbelt in the city due to the high risk of carjackings. Brett also criticizes D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for vacationing in Cape Cod while the city faces violence. He argues that Democratic leaders, including Biden and Harris, have abandoned the working class they claim to support. Later, Brett turns his attention to the surge in urban violence, particularly youth violence, and asks a pressing question: what are we going to do about it? He lays out a grim picture of how societal, cultural, and policy failures have created a landscape where safety is no longer guaranteed, especially for vulnerable communities. Brett argues that deterrence has collapsed, accountability has diminished, and moral guidance is lacking. He cites disturbing statistics, such as a 14-fold increase in the lethality of youth violence since 1999, and highlights how neighborhoods have devolved into “zones of despair.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quinta-feira (14/08/2025): O governo pedirá ao Congresso aval para excluir da meta fiscal R$ 9,5 bilhões de medidas com o pacote de socorro às empresas atingidas pelo tarifaço dos EUA sobre exportações brasileiras. A decisão contraria o que havia afirmado o ministro Fernando Haddad (Fazenda). A MP com as diretrizes gerais do pacote foi assinada pelo presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. O Plano Brasil Soberano prevê linha de crédito de R$ 30 bilhões para empresas afetadas, aporte em fundos garantidores (para facilitar o acesso de empresas menores ao crédito à exportação), aumento de compras governamentais e adiamento da quitação de impostos. Ficariam fora da meta fiscal a despesa de R$ 4,5 bilhões com o aporte em fundos garantidores e a renúncia de receitas de até R$ 5 bilhões para ampliar o Reintegra, programa que devolve parte dos tributos a exportadores.

“What Gives Him the Right?” President Trump has temporarily federalized the Washington DC police and sent in ICE agents and National Guard troops to “pursue and arrest every violent criminal in the district who breaks the law, undermines public safety and endangers law-abiding Americans,” according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The move was welcomed by the DC police union chief who said that the union “supports the President's announcement this morning to assume temporary control of the MPD in response to the escalating crime crisis in Washington, DC.” However, Mayor Muriel Bowser made this cryptic statement: "unsettling and unprecedented." "My message to residents is this: We know that access to our democracy is tenuous," The Daily Signal spoke with former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli about the President's actions and the repercussions.

President Donald Trump has ordered the immediate removal of homeless individuals from Washington, D.C., vowing to relocate them “far from the capital.” In an unprecedented move, he invoked emergency powers to take temporary control of the city's police, deployed 800 National Guard troops, and brought in federal agents.Mayor Muriel Bowser disputes Trump's claims of rising crime, pointing to a 26% drop in violent crime and a 7% decrease overall in 2025. Advocates warn the plan could harm vulnerable people and strip away local control.
US President Donald Trump said at a White House press conference Monday that he is deploying the National Guard to assist in restoring law and order and public safety in Washington, DC.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一在白宫新闻发布会上表示,他将派遣国民警卫队前往华盛顿特区,以协助恢复秩序和保障公共安全。Trump also stated that he has formally invoked the Home Rule Act to place the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.特朗普还表示,他已正式依据《地方自治法》将市警察局置于联邦政府的直接管控之下。"This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our capital back," Trump said.“这是华盛顿特区的解放日,我们要夺回我们的首都。”特朗普说道。Trump noted that his administration surged 500 federal agents into the district last week, including from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Park Police, the US Marshals Service, the Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security.特朗普指出,其政府上周向该地区增派了 500 名联邦执法人员,其中包括来自联邦调查局、酒精、烟草、火器及爆炸物管理局、缉毒局、公园警察局、美国法警局、特勤局以及国土安全部的人员。Since Trump's return to the White House, he has repeatedly criticized violent crime and homelessness in Washington, DC, blaming the local government for poor management and threatening a federal takeover of the district.自从特朗普重返白宫以来,他多次对华盛顿特区的暴力犯罪和无家可归问题提出批评,指责当地政府管理不善,并威胁要由联邦政府接管该地区。In an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, DC defended the capital's safety, saying "we have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low."在周日接受美国全国广播公司(MSNBC)的采访时,华盛顿特区市长穆里尔·鲍瑟为该市的安全状况进行了辩护,她表示:“在过去两年里,我们一直在努力降低这座城市的暴力犯罪率,使其降至 30 年来的最低水平。” National Guardn.国民警卫队/ˈnæʃnəl ɡɑːd/ Metropolitan Police Departmentn.市警察局/ˌmetrəˈpɒlɪtən pəˈliːs dɪˈpɑːtmənt/

Local leaders say crime rates are the lowest they've been in 30 years. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says "This year, crime isn't just down from 2023, it's also down from 2019 before the pandemic, and we're at a 30-year violent crime low," Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi is in control of the police in D.C.

Send us a textThe line between political theater and public safety has never been more blurred than in President Trump's recent declaration of a "crime emergency" in Washington DC. Despite data showing violent crime at a 30-year low and homicides down 34% from 2023, the administration has invoked rarely-used powers to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department—a move Mayor Muriel Bowser calls "unsettling and unprecedented."What happens when statistics contradict political narratives? We dig beneath the surface to examine what's really happening in our nation's capital. The numbers tell a compelling story: murders down from 274 in 2023 to 187 in 2024, carjackings decreased by 87%, and overall violent crime rates lower than during any year of Trump's first administration. Yet the administration's executive order explicitly claims crime is "rising" in the capital, setting a concerning precedent for federal intervention in locally-governed cities.Beyond this high-profile takeover lies an equally troubling story receiving far less attention—the quiet diversion of $934 million from nuclear missile modernization funds to outfit a luxury Boeing 747 jet donated by Qatar. This aircraft, intended for Trump's use but unlikely to be ready until after his term ends, represents an alarming shift in national security priorities that's happening with minimal public scrutiny.We also explore a moment of perfect irony: a Trump Burger restaurant owner in Texas facing deportation as an undocumented immigrant, highlighting the complex relationship between political identity and real-world consequences. These stories together paint a portrait of an America where perception often trumps reality, and where the implications for democracy demand our closest attention.Join us as we cut through the rhetoric to understand what these developments mean for local governance, federal power, and the future of American democracy.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced a 30-day federal takeover of Washington D.C.'s police department—while simultaneously deploying 800 National Guard troops—to fight violent crime in the nation's capital. At the White House press briefing, Trump announced Attorney General Pam Bondi will oversee the federal takeover—while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will provide military support “if needed.” Additionally, the administration will assign 120 F.B.I. agents to conduct nighttime patrols throughout Washington D.C. 3:30pm- In response to President Donald Trump's decision to temporarily take control of Washington D.C.'s police department, police union chairman Gregg Pemberton explained: "We completely agree with the President that crime in the District of Columbia is out of control and something needs to be done with it." Meanwhile, Mayor Muriel Bowser has responded by insisting D.C. needs “full statehood.” 3:40pm- President Donald Trump explained to the press why crime is out of control in Washington D.C.: “This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left City Council adopted no cash bail."
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced a 30-day federal takeover of Washington D.C.'s police department—while simultaneously deploying 800 National Guard troops—to fight violent crime in the nation's capital. In response, Mayor Muriel Bowser has responded by insisting D.C. needs “full statehood.” However, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 (the “District Clause”) gives Congress exclusive legislative authority over the federal district that serves as the nation's capital. The framers intentionally set it apart from any state to avoid a single state from having undue influence over the federal government. While Congress could grant D.C. certain state-like powers through legislation, turning it into a state outright would remove it from the federal district—something many legal scholars believe can't be done without amending the Constitution's “District Clause.” 4:10pm While speaking with the press on Monday, President Donald Trump previewed his Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin—noting that he will insist “you've got to end this war.” 4:30pm- Restaurants are shrinking portion sizes in reaction to Ozempic user preferences, Rosie O'Donnell releases a cryptic video to social media, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is 71—and ripped! Plus, never eat a potato chip cooked in olestra oil…unless you don't mind “leakage.” 4:50pm- While speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Vice President JD Vance argued that “California has way more House seats than it should because they have such a high population of illegal aliens.” Noting that “they get rewarded for welcoming illegal aliens into their state…asking the taxpayers of states like Ohio to subsidize them.”

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the shifting tone of modern socialism and the economic impact felt by everyday Americans. He opens with a sarcastic jab at leftist slogans, contrasting the idealistic promises of the past with what he sees as today’s failed leadership. Brett then highlights a story about a diner waitress whose livelihood was disrupted due to massive job losses, pinning the blame on decisions by both Donald Trump and “Joj,” possibly a jab at President Joe Biden. From there, the show transitions to breaking news about President Trump’s executive order to restore law and order in Washington, D.C., citing rising crime and the breakdown of public safety. Mayor Muriel Bowser responds with a measured yet firm statement, emphasizing local autonomy under D.C.’s Home Rule Charter We're joined by Aiden Buzzetti from the Bull Moose Project to talk about a bold new vision for American infrastructure and the potential revival of the transcontinental railroad. Bozzetti discusses his recent Daily Caller op-ed, arguing in favor of a proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads. Despite traditional concerns about monopolies, Buzzetti explains that this merger could enhance competition—not with other rail lines, but with the trucking industry, which currently dominates U.S. freight transport.
