It's Thursday, July 16th, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus U.S. to Iran: Stop persecuting Christians The United States is calling for Iran to end its persecution of Christians. According to Open Doors, it's the tenth worst country in the world. In one case, authorities in the country sentenced a Christian convert to nearly 10 years in prison back in May. Forty-two-year-old Ghazal Marzban is now on a hunger strike. A State Department spokesman told Fox News Digital, “We are aware of these reports. It is reprehensible that the Iranian regime continues to persecute religious minorities, including Iranian Christians.” Dr. Hormoz Shariat with Iran Alive Ministries told Fox News that Christians in Iran are courageous in the face of persecution. Listen. SHARIAT: “Believers in Iran are full of [the] Holy Spirit. They are courageous. They're out there. Many of them are living, and some of them are dying for Jesus. I see such a courage among the Iranian Muslim background believers.” Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” America restarted naval blockade against Iranian ports On Tuesday, the United States restarted its naval blockade against Iranian ports. This comes after the Islamic Republic continued to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, the U.S. military carried out more strikes on Iran. President Donald Trump threatened strikes on Iran's infrastructure next week unless the country reopens negotiations. Pro-life British Member of Parliament was killed A pro-life British politician was found dead at her home on July 9th. Seventy-eight-year-old Ann Widdecombe had served as a conservative member of Parliament from 1987 to 2010. The Catholic politician was an outspoken opponent of abortion. Counter-terrorism police report that she was clearly the victim of a targeted attack and are still investigating a motive. Supreme Court Justices ask for additional security Here in America, U.S. Supreme Court Justices testified before Congress about threats to their lives. The Supreme Court is requesting nearly $15 million in additional funds from Congress for the personal security of the justices. Justice Amy Coney Barrett talked about one incident when she was the victim of an erroneous call to her residence. BARRETT: “Roughly six weeks ago, I was the victim of a swatting incident. At that point, my teenage son, one of my teenage sons, opened the door to go out with friends and saw in our street it was full of police cars who had responded to a false report of gunshots and raised voices in my home. “I was very, very grateful that I had Supreme Court Police outside my home because they were able to stop and meet with, and explain to the county police, that it had been a false alarm. And so, the police did not actually attempt to enter our home.” Conservative justices faced intense threats surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. For example, Justice Amy Coney Barrett had to be sent home with a bullet proof vest when threats were high. In Proverbs 8:35-36, Wisdom says, “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” Christian student required to attend a perversion assembly A Christian middle schooler in Washington State is suing her school district for violating her faith. Highline Public School District in Burien, Washington held a mandatory so-called “Inclusion Assembly” back in May. The event covered topics that conflicted with the girl's Christian faith. So, she asked to be excused, but the school forced her to participate. The American Center for Law and Justice filed a lawsuit against the school last week on behalf of the Christian student. The ACLJ stated, “Our client is a little girl who has done nothing but live out her faith with kindness and respect for others.” Only 33% of Americans trust churches, down from 60% in 2001 A new Gallup survey found that Americans don't trust institutions in the United States. Only 27% of U.S. adults expressed confidence in major institutions. That's down from 43% in 2001. These institutions include banks, churches, Congress, the military, public schools, and the medical system. Thirty-three percent of Americans express confidence in churches and organized religion. That's down from 60 percent in 2001. Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for $50 million A Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil sold for a record-breaking $50.1 million in New York on Tuesday. A paleontologist discovered the skeleton on a ranch in South Dakota in 2021. Known as “Gus”, it's one of the largest and most complete dinosaurs ever discovered. Paleontologists claim that Gus lived about 67 million years ago. However, scientists discovered a T. Rex fossil in 2005 that contained unfossilized soft tissue. Answers in Genesis noted, “Soft tissue is not compatible with an old Earth, and yes, it is indeed a powerful confirmation of the Biblical timeline.” Worldview listeners from Manitoba, Indiana and Kentucky weigh in Azalia Marten in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada wrote me and said, “I want to thank The Worldview team for writing the newscast every weekday. I greatly appreciate your views. Thank you for putting your lives into this!” John Martini in Moores Hill, Indiana wrote me and said, “I appreciate three things about your news program: First, important topics are covered. Second, the reporting is concise and includes primary sources. And third, there is a direct Biblical connection made in many of the news stories. We often pray about the topics presented.” And Megan Severe in Elizabeth Town, Kentucky, said, “I am a history teacher and it's very important to me to teach my students to be aware of current events in the world. What happens today is going to shape our history. I was delighted to find your podcast and have been listening to it every morning as I get ready for work over the past year. “The podcast helps prepare me to know what important world events I should tie into my lesson. I even played it for my classes to listen to so they could hear the news from a Christian perspective. I love how you tie in Bible verses. Thanks for what you do!” 13 Worldview listeners gave $2,817 And finally, by 9:00pm Central on Wednesday night, 13 Worldview listeners had stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Marcia in Cairo, New York who gave $25, Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $30 as well as Tim in Newton, Kansas and Kevin and Lisa in Scottdale, Pennsylvania – both of whom gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Chuck in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada and Josh in Davenport, Iowa – both of whom gave $150, as well as Leticia in Blum, Texas who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a gift of $180, and Gena in Huntsville, Alabama who gave $182. And we're grateful to God for Richard in Camden, Wyoming who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $25/month pledge for a gift of $300, Keith in Longview, Texas who gave $300, Pat in Park Ridge, Illinois who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a total gift of $300, Daniel in Raleigh, North Carolina who gave $400, and Dennis in Fort Worth, Texas who emailed me to say he is continuing with his $50/month pledge for a total gift of $600. Those 13 gifts add up to $2,817. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $26,620 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $29,945 to hit our $56,565 goal in just two days by this Friday, July 17th. Remember, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started in a previous year, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total -- like Richard and Dennis did. We need to find 8 Worldview listeners, who will pledge $100/month for 12 months, or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 16 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 32 listeners who will pledge $25/month or give a one-time gift of $300. Go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish. To be honest, the race to the finish line of funding the six-member Worldview team for another year is almost half way over and we are significantly behind! Can you help?

It's Tuesday, July 7th, 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, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus Chinese pastor Ezra Jin released from prison Praise God! Chinese House Church Pastor Ezra Jin has been released from a communist prison! This comes after US President Donald Trump brought up his case with the Chinese president last month. China Aid interprets the action as a “goodwill gesture coinciding with America's Independence Day.” Bob Fu of China Aid noted that “While we celebrate Pastor Jin's freedom, our hearts remain with the countless jailed pastors and coworkers from Zion Church as well as priests, bishops, and house church Christians. . . who remain unjustly imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party.” Pastor Jin's daughter, Grace Jin Drexel, has spoken out on national media and lobbied Congress and the President for the release of her father since he was arrested last October. Iran sentenced five people to death Iranian courts have sentenced five more people to death because they participated in alleged “anti-government” activities in recent protests. This adds to the 1,639 persons executed in 2025, according to Iran International. Iranian officials call for Trump's assassination Calls for President Trump's assassination from Iranian government officials and the crowd of hundreds of thousands on the streets of Tehran were plentiful, according to the New York Post. One banner promised $100 million for the person who kills the US President, according to reports from Iran International. Cuba's nationwide blackout Another communist country, Cuba, is in serious economic and social disintegration. The country experienced a nationwide blackout over the weekend — affecting transportation, crucial medical care, and government operations, reports FoxNews. That's the third blackout in six months. Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens in a blitz attack on Kiev over the weekend. Another 100-plus people were injured in the attacks, that came at the eve of a NATO summit, reports the BBC. President Donald Trump reports to have had a lengthy “constructive” conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday. LEGO pushes sexual perversion The Denmark-owned LEGO company is openly pushing homosexual Pride parades, homosexual faux marriage, and other homosexualized themes for children. The LEGO company's pride month celebration included a contest intended to groom children in homosexual ideologies. In the words of their website, LEGO seeks to “celebrate everyone you love.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Evangelical Christian edges out RINO in Colorado's governor race An evangelical Christian, Victor Marx, has edged out the middle-of-the-road Republican candidate in Colorado's gubernatorial race, reports Colorado Newsline. After 97% of the primary vote count has come in, Marx maintains a 1% lead. A recount may still be in the works. Trump-endorsed candidates and conservative candidates have won so far in Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, and Georgia. Abortion is up despite Roe v. Wade's demise Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortions continue to rise in the United States. The most recent numbers indicated 1.13 million abortions nationwide last year. That's up from 862,000 in 2017, reports The Christian Post. While a number of Republican-leaning states have restricted abortion, many Democrat-leaning states have opened up access to abortions. Additionally, the Abortion Kill Pill is accessible in all states, and remains the largest driver in the uptick of abortion numbers. Psalm 94:21 says, “They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Dept. of Justice cracks down on medical fraud The Department of Justice is cracking down on medical fraud. More than 450 defendants were named in the latest fraud bust, with the fraud totaling more than $6.5 billion! Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services, explained the implications of the far-reaching medical fraud bust. KENNEDY: “Our objective is straightforward: to stop the fraud before it happens. “The people charged today should understand that we will continue expanding these capabilities, strengthening and enforcement, and pursuing every credible allegation of fraud. If you exploit patients for profit, if you steal Medicaid or Medicare dollars, if you treat taxpayer dollars as your personal bank account, we will investigate you. “We will build the case, and we will bring you to justice. We will find fraud, we will stop it, we will recover taxpayer dollars whenever the law permits, and we will restore integrity to the programs that millions of Americans rely on for their care.” 7 million illegals under Biden drove up housing costs A new report out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas detailed the massive impact illegal immigration has had on housing prices. Per the report, around seven million illegal immigrants entered the United States during the Biden presidency, which contributed greatly to soaring housing prices. The report further read, “A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that [unauthorized immigrant worker flows] can explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents over the boom period for the average local market.” And Lora Ries of the Heritage Foundation asserted, “We have at least 20 million deportable aliens in the U.S. Deporting millions of them will free up the housing supply, bring down housing costs, and allow young Americans to buy homes and start families.” But are there enough workers in America to do the work? Fewer and fewer able-bodied Americans are willing to work. The U.S. Labor Participation rate has dipped to 61.5% — down from 67% in the early 2000s. Unemployment is running at 4.2% — slightly higher than unemployment rates prior to the Covid pandemic in 2019. Worldview listeners weigh in from Canada, Georgia and Illinois Keith Lozon in Windsor, Ontario Canada wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “I listen to The Worldview in 5 Minutes every day from Monday through Friday along with the ‘Morning Wire' and Albert Mohler's ‘The Briefing.' That's how I start my day.” Amy Zdunowski in Waverly Hall, Georgia wrote, “I listen to The Worldview in the mornings as I get ready for the day. I just started listening this year. I enjoy hearing a recap of the news, especially stories about Christians around the world that you don't hear about on other platforms.” And Pat Link in Park Ridge, Illinois wrote, “I start my day with a Daily Devotion, then read The Worldview and pray and praise to God for the news stories. Then, I read my Bible and understand more and more the guide book to my Heavenly home.” 15 Worldview listeners gave $4,249 over the weekend and on Monday And finally, over the weekend and on Monday, 15 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days. Our thanks to Sara in Lawndale, Nebraska who gave $5 as well as Leah in Franklin, Kentucky, Lydia in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, and Aaliyah in Kailua Kona, Hawaii – each of whom gave $25. We appreciate Asher in Reisterstown, Maryland who gave $59, MariaLee in Gladstone, Missouri who gave $60, Pete in Phoenix, Arizona who gave $100, Dawna in Troy, Montana who gave $150, and Rick in Kailua Kona, Hawaii who gave $200. And we're grateful to God for the generosity of Dan in Chanhassen, Minnesota and Debra in West Winfield, New York – both of whom gave $250, Dana in Montgomery, Texas and Diana in Siloam Springs, Arkansas – both of whom gave $500, Peter in Springfield, Ohio who gave $600, and Roger in Crossville, Tennessee who gave $1,500. Those 15 gifts add up to $4,249. That's the most given in the first five broadcast days of July. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $10,951. (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $19,924 by this Friday, July 10th toward our $123,500 finish line come July 31st. We need to find 7 Worldview listeners who will pledge $100 per month for 12 months or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 9 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 18 listeners who will pledge $25 per month or give a one-time gift of $300.

What if you could choose exactly which days you work, which clients you see, and even when you're home for your kids after school? Today's guest did exactly that.I'm thrilled to introduce you to Heidi Miller, a speech-language pathologist and the founder of HMS & Associates in New Jersey. Heidi has built a boutique, multi-location private practice known for its highly specialized, relationship-driven care with clinics in Florham Park, Park Ridge, and most recently Oakland.But here's what makes her story so different: She didn't start with a grand vision of multiple clinics. She started with a clear vision of three days a week.With over 25 years of experience, Heidi has worked across a range of clinical settings before opening her first in-person clinic 15 years ago. Today, her practice focuses on pediatric feeding disorders, ARFID, apraxia, and myofunctional therapy with an emphasis on advanced, evidence-based treatment and individualized care. She remains closely involved in mentoring her team and shaping the clinical standards across all three locations, ensuring a consistently high level of care.Outside of patient care, Heidi is passionate about building a private practice model that blends clinical excellence with strong family partnerships — creating a trusted, referral-based brand where children, families, and clinicians can truly thrive. She also creates continuing education courses for other therapists and is a mom to three kids.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How she slowly and systematically built a niche practice around her actual passionsWhy saying "no" to clients outside your specialty actually grows your reputation fasterHow she opened a second location not by throwing a dart at a map, but by following one family's needThe simple way she retains therapists for years letting them reset their schedules every summer and school yearHeidi's story is proof that you don't have to choose between being a present parent and a successful practice owner. She didn't throw a dart at a map. She followed the need, trusted her skills, and built a practice that fits her life — not someone else's idea of success.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom without burning out?

Our next guests are preparing to open a highly anticipated burger restaurant in Park Ridge in partnership with Mikerphone Brewing. They met at the highly coveted Bavettes in Chicago and went through many iterations of what life could look like during and after the pandemic. They both were seeking stability and it wasn't until several pop ups when Phil from Super Goode stopped by and left them a raving review. The stars began to align and they will be opening Brennan's Gourmet Burger Shack in early 2026. Please enjoy my conversation with Alyssa and Conor Brennan. https://www.brennansgbs.com/https://www.instagram.com/brennans.gbshttps://www.instagram.com/simple_delicious_foodhttps://www.instagram.com/kid_at_heartt

Top Stories for September 30th Publish Date: September 30th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 30th and Happy Birthday to Fran Drescher I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett “As long as I can.” That’s how long Sharon Bryant, a retiree still working part-time, plans to stay in her new apartment at Sage 5430. The complex, which just opened near Beaver Ruin Road and Buford Highway, is a rare find: affordable, spacious, and brand new. Sage 5430 is the result of a four-year public-private effort to address Gwinnett’s growing need for affordable housing. The 70-unit complex serves seniors, homeless youth, and those aging out of foster care, with rents ranging from $1,062 to $1,655—well below market rates. Residents making 50–70% of the area’s median income can also qualify for subsidies. The need is urgent. Gwinnett’s population of seniors has exploded by 55% in the last decade, and more than half of senior renters are considered “cost-burdened,” spending over 30% of their income on housing. But getting here wasn’t easy. John Maddox, VP of development at Blue Ridge Atlantic, described the process as “playing Whack-a-Mole.” Construction costs spiked, interest rates climbed, and funding gaps kept appearing. Eventually, with help from Gwinnett County, the Norcross Housing Authority, and Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, the project came together. And for Gwinnett, it’s a step forward in tackling a housing crisis that’s pricing out even middle-income families. STORY 2: Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth is gearing up for two big fall events, and train lovers of all ages are invited to join the fun. First up: “Train, Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. It’s not just trick-or-treating anymore—it’s a full-on fall festival with a classic car show, train rides, a costume contest, live music, and even a scavenger hunt. Families and car owners are encouraged to dress up, and local businesses will be handing out candy from decorated trunks. Then, from Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, the museum’s annual Festival of Trees returns. Santa himself will arrive by train on Nov. 15, with more holiday magic possibly planned for December. The museum, located at 3595 Buford Highway, is also looking for local businesses to sponsor trees or host tables at these events. Interested? Visit train-museum.com or email info@train-museum.com. STORY 3: Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill Parkland Residential just opened its newest build-to-rent community, Park Ridge, in Sugar Hill—and leasing is officially underway. Curious? You can tour the model homes now and even snag some Grand Opening perks. When complete, Park Ridge will feature 140 rear-entry stacked townhomes. The first 72 are already in progress, with two floor plans to choose from: The Dogwood: 3 beds, 2.5 baths, loft, ~1,950 sq. ft. The Laurel: 2 beds, 2.5 baths, ~1,600 sq. ft. Each home includes a private garage, oversized primary suite, walk-in closet, and covered outdoor space overlooking greenspace—perfect for relaxing or hosting friends. Located across from E.E. Robinson Park and Sugar Hill Elementary, Park Ridge offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with lawn care, pest control, home repairs, and appliances (yes, even washers and dryers) included. Plus, you’re minutes from downtown Sugar Hill, The Bowl, and shopping at Costco, H-Mart, and more. Want to learn more? Visit www.ParkRidgeSugarHill.com. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Gwinnett police seeking suspect in fraudulent vehicle purchase Gwinnett Police are asking for help finding 33-year-old Anthony Sherlock, who’s wanted in a fraud case. Here’s what happened: On Sept. 5, Sherlock met with someone to buy a car. He handed over a check—but it turned out to be fake. By the time the bank flagged it as altered, the funds were gone, leaving the seller with a big loss. Sherlock is described as a Black man, about 5’9” and 155 pounds. If you know anything, call detectives at 770-513-5300. Want to stay anonymous? Contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. Cash rewards are available. STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Elisha Winn Fair set for Oct. 4-5 The Elisha Winn Fair is back Oct. 4-5, celebrating one of Gwinnett County’s founders and the home where it all began. Elisha Winn built his house in 1811—seven years before Gwinnett even existed. By 1818, it became the county’s first courthouse, hosting elections, court sessions, and government meetings. Winn himself was sworn in as a judge right in his own parlor. Imagine that. But life wasn’t all smooth. Winn lost the home in a messy legal battle over land rights and spent his later years fighting for it. The house changed hands until the Gwinnett Historical Society restored it in 1978. Now, the fair—46 years strong—celebrates this history with the community. Don’t miss it! STORY 6: Police: Daughter charged in murder of 62-year-old woman A 33-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she fatally stabbed her 62-year-old mother at their home near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Brittany Morris is accused of killing her mother, Janet Morris, on Thursday afternoon. Officers were called to their home on Deshong Drive around 4:30 p.m. and found Janet’s body—she’d died from apparent stab wounds. Police haven’t said what led to the attack, but Brittany was arrested later that day in another part of Gwinnett. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously. STORY 7: BRACK: Lawrenceville's Loving Aid Society working to help in the future A Lawrenceville institution with roots stretching back to 1888 is closing its doors, but its legacy? That’s not going anywhere. The Loving Aid Society, founded by Laura Freeman Gholston and Bob Craig, was created to support Gwinnett’s Black community during a time when money was scarce for everyone. Members paid small monthly dues—just ten cents back then—to cover funeral costs and help the sick. Over the years, it became a cornerstone of self-reliance, hosting annual “Turn Out” gatherings filled with songs, prayers, and shared recipes. Their two-story building on Neal Boulevard once housed a funeral home, a church, and even a daycare. But now, with only three members left—Ruth Summerour, 90, and Glenda and Moses Abney, 74 and 78—the Society has sold its property to the City of Lawrenceville for $497,000. The remaining members are determined to use those funds to keep helping others, ensuring the spirit of the Loving Aid Society lives on. We’ll have closing comments after this.

It's Friday, June 27th, 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 Pakistani Court acquits Christian man of blasphemy against Islam On June 25th, the Pakistani Supreme Court ordered the acquittal of an elderly Christian man on death row for 23 years on a blasphemy against Islam conviction, reports Morning Star News. A three-judge bench acquitted Anwar Kenneth, age 72, of the blasphemy allegations. His attorney, Rana Hameed, himself a Muslim, explained that a person of unsound mind could not be held liable for such a crime. He added that this case highlights the plight of dozens of other blasphemy prisoners who are also suffering from mental health challenges, yet their cases have been pending for years. Defense Secretary Hegseth defends success of bombing Iran Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended President Trump's characterization that the Iranian nuclear sites were obliterated. HEGSETH: “President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history. And it was a resounding success, resulting in a cease fire agreement and the end of the 12 Day War. “There's been a lot of discussion about what happened and what didn't happen. Step back for a second. Because of decisive military action, President Trump created the conditions to end the war, decimating, choose your word, obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities.” At a press conference at the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands on June 25th, Secretary Hegseth added this. HEGSETH: “There's a reason the President calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders -- the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory, flying 36 hours, on behalf of the American people and the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom. “And then, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York Times is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what the troops think. They don't care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. “What do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information, or just the part that they want to introduce? And when they introduce that preliminary report, that's deemed to be a low assessment, you know, a low assessment means low confidence in the data in that report. “And why is there low confidence? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by twelve 30,000-pound bombs is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated. So, if you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordow, you better get a big shovel and go really deep, because Iran's nuclear program is obliterated. “Somebody, somewhere is trying to leak something to say, ‘Oh, with low confidence, we think maybe it's moderate.' Those that dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what happened when that exploded. And you know who else knows? Iran! “That's why they came to the table right away because their nuclear capabilities have been set back beyond what they thought were possible because of the courage of a Commander-in-Chief who led our troops, despite what the fake news wants to say.” Supreme Court rules South Carolina can defund Planned Parenthood In a 6-3 decision yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the right to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, reports LifeNews. The pro-life state wants to be able to block taxpayer funding for the abortion business under Medicaid, but the abortion company sued to block that action. The Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the power to block funding. In the decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The high court's ruling means that the state can direct Medicaid funding—funds intended to help low-income individuals obtain necessary medical assistance—to comprehensive health care rather than entities that exist primarily to perform abortions. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster issued executive orders barring the pro-abortion organization from receiving reimbursements for non-abortion services like cancer screenings, STD testing, and contraception -- arguing that the funding just frees the abortion business to spend funds killing babies. Governor McMaster is living up to the command of Proverbs 31:8 which says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in. LEAVITT: “As for the Supreme Court ruling, the President has always maintained that Americans should not be forced to violate their conscience and their religious liberty by having their tax dollars fund abortions, and we're glad the Supreme Court ruled on that side.” Two who stopped gunman at Michigan church hailed as heroes Two members of CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan are being hailed as heroes for helping to stop a gunman who attempted to carry out a mass shooting during the church's worship service this past Sunday, reports the Christian Post. The men, Deacon Richard Pryor and Ron Amann, a member of the church's security team, are being celebrated for their efforts in stopping 31-year-old Brian Browning. According to the police report cited by the Detroit Free Press, Browning, the gunman, was dressed in camouflage clothing and a tactical vest as he approached the church entrance armed with an AR-15-style rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition. He opened fire at the church shortly after 11:00am. Steven Lewellyn, a fellow church member, wrote, "Richard was in the parking lot and saw the shooter walking towards the door. In a moment of quick thinking and incredible bravery, Richard sped towards the man, hitting him with his truck and giving armed security crucial extra seconds to get to the scene and prevent further harm." The gunman shot multiple rounds into the truck, but thankfully did not hurt Richard Pryor, who was running late for church that morning. Providentially, just three days before the shooting, Ron Amann told WXYZ that he was one of three members of the church's safety team who attended training at Peacemakers Shooting Range. AMANN: “When we formed this team, I just knew it was my calling to protect my family and my church family.” Amann described what he heard last Sunday. AMANN: "Popping, a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop noise that I couldn't quite identify. It stopped. I heard it again, and probably within a few seconds after that, someone came running in the back of the sanctuary and said, there's a shooter out there.” After he sent his family to safety, he ran toward the shooting. AMANN: "He [shooter] was sitting on the ground with a rifle, and he was sitting away from me, so he turned to make a sweep of the glass with his gun and just held the trigger and shot through. "He just started spraying bullets into the lobby, went through the glass, shattered it, and then, that's when it caught my leg and spun me around.” Another member of the church's safety team, Jay Trombley, fatally shot Browning. Amann is convinced that God prepared them for that moment. AMANN: “Being a person of faith and having a relationship with God, I believe He orchestrated all of the preparations and prepared us exactly for what we encountered.” Kate Dunphy, the organizer of the GoFundMe campaign for the church security volunteer who was shot in the leg, wrote, "Ron's tibia was shattered and required extensive surgery to place a rod at the leg injury. This injury will have approximately 3-5 months of physical recovery and rehabilitation. God spared Ron's life and was mighty in His protection over the security team and congregation.” She cited Psalm 37:23-24 which says, “The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when He delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.” I want to hear from children under the age of 18 I would love to share 3 emails on Monday, June 30th from kids between the ages of 5 and 17 who listen to The Worldview. What do you like about this Christian newscast? And why would you urge listeners who have not yet given, to make a donation to help pay for our team to put it all together? Parents, for the younger ones, please include their full name, city and state. Just ask them those two questions and type up their answers. Better yet, if you record a short 15 to 30-second video on your phone, you can email that to me, and I'll grab the audio from it. Send the email to Adam@TheWorldview.com One last thing. Don't forget to include their age. 6 Worldview listeners gave $1,393 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview's annual budget for our 6-member team, 6 listeners stepped up to the plate yesterday. We're grateful to God for Pat in Park Ridge, Illinois who gave $25, Joshua in Goddard, Kansas who gave $50, and Jody in Westerlo, New York who gave $100.
