It's Tuesday, May 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Islamic governance seen in 14 countries Islamic governance is on the rise around the world, usually a response to Western aggression or interference with the Middle Eastern nations.   Since 1980, the nations which have seen increased Islamic influence in government include Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, Brunei, Turkey, Iraq, northern Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Maldives, and Syria. Russia's latest attack on Kyiv, Ukraine Russia has launched a barrage of attacks on Kyiv. Ukrainian officials say four people died and 60 were injured over the weekend. Ukrainian Supreme Court legitimized homosexual faux marriage Plus, in a February ruling, the Ukrainian Supreme Court has just legitimized the faux marriage of a male with a male as well as a female with a female. In Genesis 2:24, God said, “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” China's aggression toward Taiwan and Taiwanese embrace “gay” marriage Last week, in the days following President Trump's visit to Beijing, China conducted another threatening military exercise involving 100 vessels off the shores of Taiwan, reports Fox News. Meanwhile, Taiwanese are even more in support of faux homosexual marriage since the nation legalized the abomination in 2019. The Taiwan Equality Campaign Poll found 54 percent of the population support faux marriage, up from 42 percent seven years ago.  Jude 7 offers a sober reminder of what happens to places that embrace the sin of homosexual behavior. “Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Secret Service killed a gunman outside White House Another potential attempt on the life of the President occurred on Saturday, May 23rd at 6:00pm, reports NewsNation.com. The shooter, identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best, was shot and killed by Secret Service agents as he opened fire near a security checkpoint close to the White House at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. The mentally disturbed man reached into a bag, pulled out a weapon, and began firing. Trump will send 5,000 troops to Poland President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will send an additional 5,000 troops to Poland. The president noted that his decision was based on the election last year of Poland's conservative President Karol Nawrocki. Presently, the United States has 80,000 troops stationed in Europe, 10,000 of which are in Poland, according to a Council on Foreign Relations analysis.  The largest U.S. presence is in Germany, with more than 38,000 troops. Should recently naturalized citizens hold office? Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina  who is also running to be the Palmetto State's next governor, made headlines for introducing a joint resolution to prevent recently naturalized citizens from holding office. Mace is calling for her resolution to be passed in the form of a constitutional amendment. In her words: “The American people deserve leaders who put America first. This amendment makes sure of it.” Oklahoma makes it a felony to traffic Abortion Kill Pills Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill that makes it a felony to traffic Abortion Kill Pills into the state for the purpose of causing an illegal abortion, reports Newson6. Punishments range up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine, or both. Republican State Senator David Bullard commented on the bill. He said, “We have worked hard to eliminate this enslavement of people. The trafficking of the abortion pill is no different than human trafficking and possibly worse. It is the largest killer of babies and the greatest threat to motherhood.”  Reddest states gain population; Bluest states lose America's “reddest” or most conservative states are gaining population and the bluest states are losing fastest. Last year, South Carolina, Idaho, and Tennessee were the fastest gainers on a resident per capita basis. By contrast, New York, California, and Maryland were the biggest losers. Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Michigan also lost residents in 2025. Condominium prices sinking across America Condo prices are sinking fast around the nation. A Denver condominium peaked at $280,000 in 2022 (adjusted for inflation), up from $165,000 in 2009. Already that $280,000 condo in 2022 (valued in 2009 dollars) has dropped off to a $202,000 value (in 2009 dollars). That's a 28 percent collapse in just four years. Florida and California condominium prices are sinking even faster. Condo prices usually run ahead of other real estate when the bubbles deflate. U.S. economy is faltering Americans are more pessimistic than ever concerning their views on the economy, while at the same time Wall Street is more euphoric than ever! The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index has dipped to an all-time low — the lowest in 65 years of American history. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ Composite Index has exploded to over 26,300. That's a whopping 450 percent increase from 10 years ago — at the same time that the nation's Gross Domestic Product only increased 200 percent.  Elon Musk on track to become Earth's first trillionaire And finally, as of yesterday, Elon Musk's net worth clocks in at $828 billion, according to the Forbes index. Economists say he's on his way to become the first trillionaire on Earth, reports The Daily Star. Elon's rocket, satellite and Artificial Intelligence empire is officially headed for the U.S. stock market, filing its prospectus with regulators. Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin are hovering around $300 billion, and Amazon's Jeff Bezos sits at $270 billion on the Forbes billionaire list. Keep in mind the wisdom of Psalm 49:16-17 today: “Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 26th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Trump's China Gamble EPISODE DESCRIPTION President Trump's summit with Xi Jinping sparks outrage after praising China, defending Chinese students, and downplaying concerns over Chinese-owned farmland near U.S. military bases. Tara and Lee break down whether Trump is playing strategic chess with China and Iran—or dangerously legitimizing America's biggest geopolitical threat. Plus: explosive allegations about South Carolina's “UniParty” machine, redistricting battles, inflation fallout, and why conservatives are sounding the alarm over Democrat-backed Republicans in the Palmetto State. HOOK Trump says China is “great,” calls America and China the “G2,” and defends Chinese ownership of farmland near military bases. Is this master-level negotiation… or a massive political risk? KEY TOPICS Trump's controversial comments about China and Xi Jinping China's relationship with Iran and oil negotiations Behind-the-scenes security fears during Trump's Beijing summit Chinese students, farmland purchases, and espionage concerns Inflation fallout from Biden-era spending policies Marco Rubio on Iran, oil prices, and nuclear threats “Chiran” theory: China's influence over Iran South Carolina redistricting battle and GOP civil war David Pascoe controversy and “UniParty” accusations Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, and open primary criticism MAIN SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — Trump's China Comments Spark Conservative Backlash Trump stunned conservatives during his Sean Hannity interview by praising China, defending Chinese students studying in America, and downplaying fears over Chinese ownership of farmland near U.S. military bases. Tara and Lee debate whether Trump is simply negotiating publicly while privately recognizing China as America's top adversary. SEGMENT 2 — The Secret Side of the Beijing Summit Despite Trump's warm public rhetoric, reports reveal White House staff discarded all Chinese-issued devices, credentials, and materials before boarding Air Force One. Staff reportedly used burner phones and avoided bringing personal devices into Chinese airspace, revealing deep distrust behind the scenes. SEGMENT 3 — Oil, Iran, and Trump's Economic Chess Match The hosts explore Trump's reported effort to replace China's Iranian oil imports with American energy exports. They argue the strategy could weaken both Iran and Russia while forcing China to pay full market price for oil instead of relying on discounted sanctioned crude. SEGMENT 4 — Inflation, Iran, and Rubio's Defense Democrats attack Trump over gas prices and his comments about ignoring Americans' financial concerns during negotiations with Iran. Marco Rubio pushes back, arguing Trump is signaling strength to Tehran and refusing to allow energy prices to become leverage in nuclear talks. SEGMENT 5 — “Chiran”: China's Grip on Iran Tara outlines the theory that China effectively controls Iran's infrastructure, surveillance systems, and energy strategy. The discussion connects Chinese investment in Iran's nuclear and digital infrastructure to broader concerns about authoritarian expansion and global energy dominance. SEGMENT 6 — South Carolina's GOP Civil War The conversation shifts to South Carolina politics, where Tara accuses establishment Republicans of operating as Democrats within the GOP. The hosts blast open primaries, criticize Lindsey Graham and Henry McMaster, and warn conservatives about attorney general candidate David Pascoe. SOUND BITES “Trump's talking to the enemy, not the voters.” “Publicly they smiled. Privately they swept the plane for bugs.” “China doesn't want partnership. China wants leverage.” “You don't bring burner phones unless you know the threat is real.” “This is economic warfare disguised as diplomacy.” “The UniParty machine is panicking in South Carolina.” SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER Trump praises China. Conservatives erupt. Behind the scenes? White House staff reportedly used burner phones, dumped Chinese-issued devices, and treated Beijing like ho ...

Tara dives into two headline-grabbing stories out of South Carolina — the upcoming execution of convicted killer Steven Bryant by firing squad, and the political firestorm over congressional redistricting that has Donald Trump publicly calling out state GOP leaders. From national outrage over the death penalty to accusations that “Republicans in name only” are protecting Democrat strongholds, Tara exposes the deep divides shaping justice and politics in the Palmetto State. It's a raw, unapologetic look at crime, consequence, and corruption under the southern sun.

A South Carolina political firestorm takes center stage as Congresswoman Nancy Mace faces explosive allegations from her ex-fiancé — accusations of hacking, blackmail, and revenge gone viral. Tara dives deep into the lawsuit drama, the blurred lines between legal protection and political manipulation, and why South Carolina's political scene continues to shock — even by its own colorful standards. Politics, power, and personal chaos — South Carolina style. Nancy Mace scandal, South Carolina politics, political lawsuits, congressional controversy, media law, defamation, campaign drama, Tara Show, political accountability, legal loopholes In this episode, Tara unpacks the explosive legal feud between Congresswoman Nancy Mace and her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant. A new lawsuit accuses Mace of hacking, false accusations, and blackmail tied to multimillion-dollar properties — all while leveraging congressional speech immunity. The discussion explores how politicians weaponize lawsuits and the media, drawing eerie parallels to past South Carolina political scandals, including Nikki Haley's. As the chaos unfolds, Tara and Lee reflect on the Palmetto State's flair for producing headline-grabbing figures, its forgiving voters, and what this latest controversy could mean for Mace's future.

When Murdaugh Murders Podcast first released Episode 45 on May 18, 2022, it marked a turning point in exposing South Carolina's deep-rooted legal corruption.In this remastered edition, journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell revisit how Alex Murdaugh's lies and influence weaponized the justice system — from the manipulation of insurance payouts to the silence of the South Carolina Bar Association. We received new information from the attorneys and insurance companies who investigated Gloria Satterfield's death. Not only do these new details raise more questions about what happened at Moselle the day of her alleged “trip and fall,” the new information highlights one of the major problems in this state: lawyers helping lawyers. Through reflection and renewed context, this episode underscores why reform in the Palmetto State remains urgent — and why Gloria Satterfield's story continues to shine a light on truth, accountability, and systemic failure.Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Campaign cash is flowing fast in the 2026 South Carolina governor's race — but where's it coming from, and who's really benefiting? Tara breaks down the latest fundraising numbers from Nancy Mace, Alan Wilson, Pamela Evett, and Ralph Norman — revealing who's spending big, who's saving smart, and who's getting help from beyond the Palmetto State. Then, Tara and Lee dive into the darker side of today's politics, exploring the growing tolerance for violence among younger liberals and the alarming rhetoric from party leaders fueling division across the country. From campaign war chests to ideological warfare — this is politics in America today.

In this episode, breaking news hits Coastal Carolina University: a taxpayer-funded employee who praised the murder of Charlie Kirk and suggested Congresswoman Nancy Mace should be next is no longer employed. Tara dives into the bigger issue of tenure in higher education, asking whether state-funded professors should be shielded from accountability no matter what they say or do. Joining the conversation is Pam Evette, South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor and candidate for governor, who makes the case for ending tenure at state schools, empowering students to push back against bias in the classroom, and using financial leverage to drive change. The discussion also turns to illegal immigration enforcement, comparing South Carolina's approach to Florida's “all officers deputized” model, and whether similar steps could soon come to the Palmetto State. This fast-moving episode unpacks how colleges, politics, and law enforcement intersect — and what accountability should look like for those in positions of power.

In 2019, Marcus Lattimore was inducted into the University of South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame and it looked like one of the happiest moments of his life. Instead, he was at a major life crossroads as he battled the trauma from trying to figure out his identity away from football. Soon thereafter, Lattimore and his wife moved to Oregon and he basically scrubbed every trace of football from his existence. For so long, Lattimore was universally recognized and beloved back in his home state. People felt like they knew him because of what he did in a No. 21 jersey and what he said in press conferences after games. Turned out they didn't know much about him at all. Turned out he didn't even really know himself. Lattimore, who has been in Portland for the last five years, has made a whole new life for himself as a spoken-word poet and a speaker at drug and alcohol rehab centers. He recently published his first book titled "Scream My Name," a story of how one of the most prominent names in Palmetto State sports history found his true self and transformed his life. Lattimore's football career basically ended when he suffered a devastating knee injury in 2012 against Tennessee. "It's been a grueling experience, but it's definitely been worth it," Lattimore said. "I was dealing with a lot of uncertainty and a lot of existential questions that I wanted answers to. Like: Who am I outside of football? And what do I do outside of football? If you keep throwing those questions into the atmosphere, it's going to lead you somewhere." These are the same questions, and the same trauma, that confront high-profile athletes from all over when the cheering stops and they look in the mirror. Former Clemson star Tajh Boyd battled years of depression when his NFL aspirations were cut short and he tried to carve a niche in the real world. Lattimore is speaking for Boyd and many others when he reflects: "From a very early age, I thought that football was who I was as a human being. So when it's stripped away, there's a dying in a sense. Part of you dies. The old me died and I had to figure out how to go about life, how to resurrect as Marcus Lattimore without a football. Those were questions that I couldn't run from. "When you're 18 years old and you hear 60,000 people screaming your name, your brain changes forever. Pleasure was around every corner for me. You need a balance, and I couldn't find that balance at home." Lattimore also shares something that has never been revealed publicly: He committed silently to Clemson assistant Jeff Scott in the summer of 2009 before his senior year at Byrnes High School. He later signed with South Carolina, but he said he has a deep respect for Dabo Swinney and the culture he's built over 16 seasons as the Tigers' head coach.

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. We are just past the mid-point of this Attendance Bias mini-series, in which we preview each venue Phish will play during their upcoming summer 2025 tour. We are coming off our visit to the Palmetto State for the North Charleston Coliseum, and today's episode is all about a venue that feels like it's been around forever in the Phish world: the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, PA. I always group Philadelphia in with Merriweather Post, SPAC, and Jones Beach as part of the I-95 Corridor tour circuit, and while there is truth to that, there is a richer Phish history at The Mann than most venues. Today, I am joined by my friends Tom and Stephanie who have long-standing roots to Philadelphia and Tom especially has a long history with the Mann. While there may not be too much for northeast Phish fans to learn about Philadelphia, we do our best to offer recommendations, tips and tricks, and wallow in some good old nostalgia about past Phish shows in Philadelphia, as is our want here on Attendance Bias. So get pumped for July 15 and 16, as Tom, Stephanie, and I take a long look at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia.

Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!Can I get a little respect around here?That is what college football programs like Clemson and South Carolina might be feeling now after seeing where ESPN's Bill Connelly had them ranked in his latest SP+ rankings.While they may hail from The Palmetto State, leave it up to two guys from neighboring states who root for rival college football teams of theirs in Georgia's John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and North Carolina's Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) to sort this all out.Monday's episode of False Start was mostly about the SP+ rankings, new legislation coming out about the College Football Playoff, and a little bit about remembering some dudes because it was Memorial Day and all.When you fall seven times, get up eight times, because this is False Start!
