On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, there's deep frustration, shared by many Americans, over government officials who voice concerns about figures like Abdul El-Sayed, and Hasan Piker yet take no real action against them. We're not discussing freedom of religion but rather individuals who seek to destroy the country, promote violence, attack the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and undermine the system—primarily first- and second-generation Islamists, some of them naturalized citizens or children of birthright citizenship (like Piker). The Washington ruling class lacks the will to defend law-abiding American patriots, with Democrats protecting such individuals for their votes and others remaining intimidated by accusations of Islamophobia. Later, a Democrat nobody's heard of, Rep Johnny Olszewski, declares that impeachment of President Trump a top priority if Democrats take the House. Democrats are weaponizing impeachment for pure politics against a president who won a record popular vote, Electoral College total, and every swing state, rather than addressing genuine constitutional violations. Also, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes a private Manhattan event featuring the leader of India's Hindu nationalist group (the RSS, ideological parent of the ruling party and linked to Prime Minister Modi). This is part of a pattern of his hostility toward Jews, Italians, and now Indians. Mamdani a bigot who trashes PM Modi the same way leftists trash PM Netanyahu. Later, Hasan Piker's recent remarks linking American Jews' support for Israel to potential violence against them, while blaming AIPAC for Democratic backlash, have drawn condemnations from several Democratic lawmakers. AIPAC is a transparent American PAC funded by Americans—unlike foreign influence from places such as Qatar or Turkey. Finally, Sen Dan Sullivan calls in to discuss his Senate election against Mary Peltola, who is a far-left liberal whose two terms in Congress produced zero bills signed into law. Sullivan called Alaska's ranked-choice voting system a manipulable scam put on the ballot to elect liberals - don't fall for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In July 2026, tens of thousands of students took to the streets in India's capital, demanding reforms to education. The protests followed the leak of medical entrance exam papers but quickly grew to reflect wider concerns about job opportunities for graduates.The movement became known as the Cockroach Janta Party. What began as an online campaign developed into a youth-led protest movement, attracting prominent activists and drawing international attention.As the protests grew, they posed a challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the governing Bharatiya Janata Party, which has been in power for more than a decade. The movement has brought together people from different parts of Indian society and highlighted dissatisfaction over job opportunities and prospects for young people.So how has the Cockroach Janta Party changed India's politics and what does it mean for its future?(Photo: Students celebrate the resignation of India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, in Amritsar on July 25, 2026. 14 students all protesting with one arm in the air making peace signs.

In his 2026 Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the government will roll out free online coaching for competitive exams using India's digital public infrastructure. The announcement was made in a bid to reach out to the Gen-Z youth, especially following the widespread student protests against the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper leak. The objective of the PM's announcement was to save poor and middle-class families thousands of crores while also helping students prepare without leaving their homes. However, can govt. coaching classes break the private coaching industry? Here we discuss the question.

“This movement was by young people who had hardly anything to lose. We had no fear and that's what spread across the country and today people are raising their voices. This time it stopped at the education ministry, but if this continues, I think the younger generation may not stop at just education.” Rajini Vaidyanathan speaks to Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk, whose 26-day hunger strike made him a central figure in youth-led protests over leaked exam papers. The anger about leaks broadened into frustration over limited opportunities for young people, and the demonstrations became one of the biggest public displays of dissent against Narendra Modi's BJP government. Sonam ended his fast after receiving assurances on education reform. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan later resigned, one of the key demands from the protestors. He explains his belief that non-violent protest can influence those in power, the physical risk you take if you stage a hunger strike, and why the movement may not stop at education.

"There was a little bit of Manmohan Singh at the Jantar Mantar youth protests that brought down a Union minister last month. It was undoubtedly the most significant challenge the BJP-led government has faced in years. The former Prime Minister was there in the repeated chants of “bure din waapis do”, a taunt at Narendra Modi's much-vaunted promises of “achhe din. Watching Manmohan Singh's last press conference as PM, where he answered 62 unscripted questions from 100 journalists, is an exercise in realising how far India's political culture has shifted," says ThePrint Columnist Karanjeet Kaur:----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/india-manmohan-singh-jantar-mantar-cjp-coal-scam/3004796/
On Meta, Abhinandan Sekhri asked whether the platform has the bandwidth to process takedown requests in India at that scale, or whether “it's actually a phase where it's the Wild West”. Independent tech journalist Abhishek Baxi agreed with that characterisation and explained that Meta's automated moderation system – a response to takedown requests in India doubling year on year – was behind the technical glitch that pulled down PM Modi's video from Facebook. Meta's global affairs chief had to fly down to apologise to IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw directly.Manisha Pande pointed to a recent instance where an interview with a CJP protester, conducted by Priyanshi Sharma, a journalist with Peak TV, was repeatedly taken down from Instagram and reinstated without explanation, alongside three of Newslaundry's own videos that are restricted in India. “I don't think these platforms are going to fight the freedom of speech fight for us,” she said. “They want to continue doing business here.”On the ruling establishment's inability to figure out Instagram like they did WhatsApp, Shardool added that it was “a sad fact that a government governing 1.4 billion people doesn't understand Instagram” and that “it takes one conversation with creators to understand how the platform works, but instead every viral trend is seen as a conspiracy.”Abhinandan went on to argue that US tech giants “don't have our interest in mind at all”, and would readily compromise on user protections if it meant preserving profit and market access, leaving Indians caught “between two [powers] who basically don't have your interest in mind.”Subscribe to watch the entire discussion.

What began as outrage over a senior judge's comments has become one of the most striking youth protest movements India has seen in years. Gideon talks to Professor Mukulika Banerjee of the London School of Economics about why so many young Indians have taken to the streets, what the "cockroach movement" says about the country's economic and educational pressures, and whether it poses a genuine challenge to Narendra Modi's government.Clip: BBCFree links to read more on this topic:Abhijeet Dipke, the face of India's victorious ‘cockroach' protestsIndia's ‘Cockroach' Gen Z has had enoughIndia should listen to its frustrated youthWhy India's student protests are differentIndia's ‘cockroach' movement halts protests after minister quitsSubscribe to The Rachman Review wherever you get your podcasts - please listen, rate and subscribe.Presented by Gideon Rachman.

Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC returns to catch up on a remarkable month in Australian foreign policy. The conversation begins with China's submarine-launched ballistic missile test into the South Pacific. Stephen and Darren ask who Beijing was really signalling, what the test says about China's nuclear deterrent, and why Pacific governments responded much more strongly than they did to China's 2024 launch. They then turn to Australia's rapidly expanding Pacific integration agenda: the Nakamal Agreement with Vanuatu, the new Vuvale Union and Ocean of Peace Alliance with Fiji, and the wider web of Australian agreements across the region. The discussion examines why Fiji and Vanuatu struck such different bargains; whether Australia coerced Vanuatu; the risks of strategic overstretch; and what happens when Canberra eventually has to enforce one of the new agreements' red lines. Darren also offers an alliance-theory puzzle: these treaties appear designed less to deter a clear external threat than to institutionalise alignment and deny rival security access. The episode also covers Taiwan's decision to suspend spot purchases of PNG LNG after Port Moresby moved against Taiwan's representative office; the fragile stabilisation of Australia–China relations and an Australian variation on Kevin Rudd's “managed strategic competition”; and Narendra Modi's visit, including whether India now truly qualifies as a top-tier Australian security partner. Recommendations: Ezra Klein's interviews with Kevin Rudd and Maggie Haberman, and Sam Dalrymple's Shattered Lands. Australia in the World is written, hosted and produced by Darren Lim, with research and audio editing by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

El pasado fin de semana la Universidad más grande de América Latina, la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), informaba que se aplicará un examen de control para determinar qué aspirantes podrían ingresar a nivel licenciatura, después de que se detectaron irregularidades en los exámenes de admisión realizados en mayo y junio pasado, cuando la institución instauró por primera vez esta prueba de manera virtual. Las protestas por parte de estudiantes que exigían que el examen de ingreso a la UNAM 2026 fuese repetido de manera presencial han tenido sus frutos. Después de que se denunciaran posibles irregularidades y un supuesto uso masivo de herramientas para hacer trampa durante la aplicación en línea, la institución se ha pronunciado con el anuncio de una nueva prueba presencial que solo se harán a una parte (al rededor de 58 000 aspirantes) de las 158 000 personas que busca un lugar en la Universidad. Las autoridades de la UNAM recibieron informaciones sobre actos irregulares gracias a “los mecanismos de control que se habían establecido para el examen en línea”, explicó a RFI Soledad Funes, investigadora del Instituto de Fisiología Celular de la UNAM e integrante de la comisión técnica que se formó para la revisión de los exámenes de admisión. La investigadora precisó que, según los resultados de 2026, sí se identificó un grupo de aspirantes que se comportaron de manera “anómala” y otra “regular” en comparación con las cifras de años anteriores. No obstante, puede haber casos en los que el mecanismo de control no detectó irregularidades. Para resolver este problema respetando el calendario de inicio de clases, que ya fue aplazado para el 31 de agosto, la comisión recomendó que repitiera el examen de admisión “un grupo acotado de personas, porque si considerábamos el universo completo no se podría reorganizar de aquí a unas cuantas semanas”, explicó. La IA en la educación Lo que está claro es que lo ocurrido en la UNAM nos hace reflexionar sobre el futuro de la educación frente a las nuevas tecnologías como la IA. ¿Qué tiene que cambiar la educación tras el auge de la IA? ¿Debería haber algún tipo de regulación frente a la IA en la educación? Funes considera que lo sucedido en la UNAM sobrepasó todos los escenarios previstos y por lo cual la sociedad debe reflexionar profundamente “qué estamos haciendo con las nuevas tecnologías”. “¿Cómo podemos hacer que las nuevas tecnologías potencien nuestras capacidades y no nos suplanten? ¿Cómo aseguramos que nuestros estudiantes salgan con una formación crítica, ética, responsable para construir el planeta que queremos en el futuro?”, cuestionó. El examen bajo sospecha de la UNAM ocurre después de que en la India miles de jóvenes estudiantes pusieran contra las cuerdas al poderoso gobierno de Narendra Modi tras denunciar irregularidades en los exámenes de ingreso a las universidades. Una tendencia que se repite desde la última década tras los casos detectados en países como Argentina, Perú, Corea del Sur o Argelia donde también se presentaron casos de repetición o anulación de alguno de los exámenes de ingreso a universidades.

The success of India's “Cockroach” protests is reinvigorating something that experts say has been lost under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 12 years in power – and that's a sense that dissent matters. This is good news for India's democracy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement to set up fast-track courts to hear paper leak cases has once again brought these specialised courts into focus and revived the debate over whether they are the silver bullet to India's chronic judicial delays. Both the government and the judiciary have, over the years, relied on fast-track courts to expedite the trial of specific categories of high-priority cases. Following the announcement, the Delhi High Court has constituted a fast-track court at the Rouse Avenue Courts Complex to exclusively hear cases under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. However, stakeholders have cautioned that fast-track courts are struggling with mounting pendency and resource constraints, raising doubts about whether they can truly deliver speedy justice. Have fast-track courts delivered on the promise of speedy justice? Guest: Bharat Chugh and Shruthi Naik Host: Aaratrika Bhaumik Producer: Jude Weston Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to the White House on the same day as Lindsey Graham's funeral, a MAGA nut does a wild U-turn on Ukraine, and the freakout over Chinese Artificial Intelligence intensifies.This week Tommy and Ben cover…Trump hits pause on the Iran war after two weeks of nightly bombing amid concerns about dwindling stockpiles of US air defense interceptors, while the Pentagon goes to disgraceful new lengths to hide the casualties and costs of the war. Then Lindsey Graham gets the equivalent of a state funeral in Washington but almost no real coverage or accounting of his bloody foreign policy record. MAGA influencer Laura Loomer goes to Ukraine in the middle of a head-spinning shift from Ukraine hater to supporter. China rolls out new, cheaper AI models, while the US government refuses to regulate the industry. Finally: The Cockroach Movement notches a rare win from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the US extracts money and political concessions in Venezuela, Trump considers starting a new war in Mali, and Europe reels from historic heatwaves and wildfires. Then, Ben speaks to David Remnick, Editor of The New Yorker, about his recent profile of Gadi Eisenkot, Benjamin Netanyahu's leading challenger for the Israeli premiership and Remnick's observations of Israel over his decades of reporting there.For a transcript of this show, email the episode title to transcripts@crooked.com
Narendra Modi's 12 year rule of India has never looked so fragile.Weeks of protests have engulfed the country following the leak of a medical entrance exam paper, which forced nearly two million students to resit the test. Protestors hailed victory from the resignation of the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday.On today's podcast, Hugh asks our contributor in New Delhi, Rahul Bedi, to explain the significance of the movement.What had fanned the flames, he said, was the description of unemployed young people as “cockroaches” by one senior government minister.Then, out of the ootheca hatched the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical movement that has channelled the frustrations of millions of young Indians who, in the words of Bedi, believe the country is increasingly dominated by corruption, privilege and vested interests.They're not alone.Farmers have again been protesting at the state of the rural economy. And another campaign has emerged against the government's ethanol-blended fuel policy, with some motorists arguing that petrol containing 20% ethanol reduces fuel efficiency and may damage engines.Bedi explains what these large movements mean for the strength and future of the Narendra Modi administration.

A vehicle has ploughed into a crowd at a gay pride event in central Berlin, killing one person. At least sixteen others were wounded, some with life-threatening injuries. A search is under way for the driver, who police say is linked to the Islamists in Berlin. Hundreds of thousands of people in the German capital had been attending the annual event. Also: more people in France have been ordered to leave their homes to escape wildfires, bringing the total to about a quarter of a million. Students in India, who have led an unprecedented challenge to Narendra Modi's government, have called off their protests. The Cockroach Janta Party said the administration had accepted all of its demands including the resignation of the education minister.

In den Strassen von Delhi protestieren zehntausende meist junge Menschen, manche in skurrilen Kostümen als Küchenschaben. Was satirisch begann, hat sich zu einer ernsthaften politischen Bewegung der Generation Z entwickelt. Auslandredaktor Daniel Rickenbacher berichtet aus Indien über die Hintergründe der Proteste, die mit den verkrusteten System, allen voran der Wirtschaft und dem Bildungssystem verwurzelt sind. Der Auslöser für den geballten Frust sind massive Skandale rund um geleakte Aufnahmeprüfungen an Universitäten und Suizide von Studenten. In dieser Folge geht es auch darum, welche Rolle Social Media und Influencer bei der Mobilisierung spielen und warum dieser Aufstand die Regierung unter Narendra Modi zunehmend unter Zugzwang setzt.

Tens of thousands of young protesters poured on to the streets of India's capital, New Delhi, this week amid an explosion of anger over the country's education system and youth unemployment. The protesters are supporters of the Cockroach Janta party, which started as an online joke but has quickly become an unexpected challenge to the powerful rightwing government of Narendra Modi. Nour Haydar speaks to the Guardian's south Asia correspondent, Hannah Ellis-Petersen, about what's behind India's growing protests
En Cinco Continentes abrimos nuevamente con la vista puesta en el estrecho de Ormuz, que está siendo nuevamente escenario de ataques tanto de Estados Unidos como de Irán como nos cuenta María Eulate.

Las autoridades de India reprimieron este lunes con fuerza una manifestación del Partido del Pueblo de las Cucarachas contra el Gobierno. Este movimiento de protesta se inició en las redes sociales pero se ha trasladado a las calles encendido por un caso de corrupción en la educación, aunque sus demandas van mucho más allá y apuntan a toda la élite política del país. Cuando el presidente del Tribunal Supremo de India, Surya Kant, llamó "cucarachas" a los jóvenes desempleados, no podía imaginar que ese insulto iba a dar lugar a la ola de contestación más importante que el gobierno de Narendra Modi ha tenido que afrontar. Poco después nacería el Partido del Pueblo de las Cucarachas, un movimiento de protesta en línea que se trasladó a las calles. Su enemigo número uno es el ministro de Educación, Dharmendra Paradana, después de que un examen de acceso a los estudios de medicina fuese anulado al detectarse filtraciones. Un caso de corrupción que encendió a esta generación cuyo malestar va más allá. Ana Ballesteros Peiró, investigadora senior no residente del Real Instituto Elcano, se lo explica a RFI: "Es un grupo de jóvenes, sobre todo de la generación Z, que están hartos y desencantados con la política actual de India, con el giro autoritario de la democracia de India y que han de alguna forma dado la vuelta a los insultos que suelen recibir por parte de dirigentes del gobierno". "Hay que tener en cuenta que India es un país en el que hay una gran población, hay muchísimos jóvenes, hay pocas oportunidades y, por ello, tanto la educación como el acceso al mercado laboral están muy reñidos, es un campo muy competitivo y los exámenes tanto a la universidad como al acceso a diferentes puestos gubernamentales y universidades es algo por lo que les va la vida", prosigue. La analista explica que ahí se encendió la mecha de una frustración mayor que el caso del examen anulado: "Cuando se enteran de que ha habido algún tipo de corruptela detrás, se da la chispa y han salido a la calle, un poco hartos de que haya una suerte de capitalismo de camarilla que promueve el partido del gobierno y que les margina". El movimiento aglutina a millones de seguidores en las redes y en las calles, no solo jóvenes: la generación de los padres, frustrados al ver cómo las inversiones en la educación de sus hijos se esfuman por la corrupción, también se han unido. El movimiento incluye a gente de todas las religiones, incluido el dominante hinduismo, poco dado a manifestarse contra las desigualdades. ¿Hasta dónde puede llegar este movimiento de las cucarachas? Ana Ballesteros Peiró da la respuesta: "Que haya cambios depende de hasta qué punto estas manifestaciones van a ser resilientes, van a ser permanentes en el tiempo y van a conseguir, sobre todo esto que estamos haciendo ahora, que es darles visibilidad". "No creo que consigan que el gobierno caiga -prosigue-. Sería un triunfo que el ministro de Educación dimita y sería un triunfo que de alguna forma se escuche su voz, porque precisamente una de las cosas por las que protestan es el hecho de que no se les está teniendo en cuenta y que necesitan que su voz sea escuchada, sobre todo porque ya son la mayoría de la población". La analista concluye: "Esta es una generación que a lo mejor de alguna forma puede presentar otro tipo de visión de la política y que está bien que haya una reforma porque realmente buena parte de los miembros del partido del gobierno son de una generación que a lo mejor está muy desconectada de las necesidades de la juventud".

U.S.-India relations have struggled despite U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's close personal relationship. This episode unpacks why tariffs, security concerns, and a détente with China has reframed the importance of the relationship, and what it could take to put it back on track. Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR Guest: Sadanand Dhume, Senior Fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia, CFR We Discuss: Why U.S.-India relations have been uncertain since mid-2025 after having slowly strengthened over many years. How the second Trump administration's early actions and India's multipolar diplomacy forced substantive confrontations thatTrump and Modi's personal relationship could not overcome. Why U.S.-India trade negotiations stalled and the Trump administration imposed tariffs, despite India repeatedly offering concessions. How the May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict and Trump's claim of forcing a ceasefire put Modi in a domestic political bind. How Pakistan's prominent role in brokering the U.S.-Iran ceasefire has amplified Indian anxieties about a U.S.-Pakistan thaw. Why Trump's talk of a Group of Two with China undermines its strategic desire to strengthen India as a counterweight to Chinese power. What the state of the Quad—an informal security dialogue among the United States, Australia, India, and Japan—and the United States' de-emphasis of the Indo-Pacific framework reveal about U.S. strategy in Asia. How Modi is normalizing ties with China and whether there is a limit to normalization given the Himalayan border dispute and China's efforts to constrain India's growth. How India's dependence on Russian arms has fallen over time, and why India is increasingly skeptical that Russia can act independently of China. Why Modi has resisted domestic political pressure to challenge Trump, and what that restraint reveals about India's calculation of its long-term national interest. Where the greatest opportunity lies to rebuild the U.S.-India relationship, and why tech cooperation and Silicon Valley represent the most natural and promising place to start.

It's Thursday, July 9th, 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 2026 Global Persecution of Christian Index released International Christian Concern released its 2026 Global Persecution Index. The report highlights 20 countries where Christians face persecution. These countries include China, Cuba, India, Iran, and Nigeria. The report also put a spotlight on leaders of countries where persecution is worsening. These leaders include Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The report noted, “Despite mounting repression, Christianity continues to grow in unexpected places.” Examples of this include the Iranian house church movement and China's underground churches. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Christian British nurse, who affirmed biological accuracy, left alone The United Kingdom's Nursing and Midwifery Council dropped its case against a Christian nurse last week. Jennifer Melle worked at a hospital in London. In 2024, she used biologically-accurate pronouns with a patient who was pretending to be the opposite sex. She then faced suspension and an investigation. Thankfully, the nursing regulatory body has ended its case against her. Melle commented, “Regulators should protect patients from real harm, not punish nurses for holding Christian beliefs, speaking truthfully about biological sex, or raising serious concerns in the public interest.” Trump: Ceasefire with Iran is over after Iran attacked ships in Strait The United States carried out retaliatory strikes on Iran yesterday. The strikes came hours after Iran attacked commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration also restored sanctions on Iran's oil sales. U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he considers the ceasefire with Iran to be over. Listen. TRUMP: “They're vicious, violent people. If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people: Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them.” Ban on Planned Parenthood funding expired last week The federal government's ban on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood expired last week. Congress passed legislation last year that cut the funding for just one year. As a result, dozens of Planned Parenthood locations have closed since then. However, the abortion giant can now resume its reimbursement from Medicaid. Some Republican lawmakers are calling for another bill to defund Planned Parenthood. Call your Congressman at 202-225-3121 and ask him or her to vote to continue to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. If you don't know who it is, click here and type in your zipcode. Young Men's Christian Assoc. allows men in women's locker rooms Parents are calling on the Young Men's Christian Association to change its transgender policies. The publicly-funded organization allows men, pretending to be women, in women's bathrooms and locker rooms. The American Parents Coalition says this violates a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The decision affirmed that Title IX protections in federal law are based on biological sex. The coalition stated, “The YMCA has ignored parents' concerns for far too long while maintaining policies that undermine the privacy, safety, and fairness Title IX was enacted to protect.” Plus, it violates the group's stated vision which was to put Christian values into practice by developing a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Send a polite, 2-sentence letter of objection to the president of the Young Men's Christian Association and ask them to live up to their name and their Biblical founding by opposing this transgender insanity. Suzanne McCormick, President, Young Men's Christian Association, 101 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. (Write to your local YMCA and object as well). Trump's tariffs led to Toyota announcing $3.6 billion U.S. expansion Toyota is expanding its manufacturing in the United States. On Monday, the Japanese car maker announced a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio, Texas. This will move some of its production from Mexico to the U.S. It will also bring about 2,000 new jobs to the Lone Star State. This expansion comes after the Trump administration imposed tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts. Presbyterian Church U.S.A. defends transgender surgeries for kids The largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States supported transgender surgeries last week. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA voted 441-30 in favor of an overture known as “On Access to Healthcare.” The measure defends body-mutilating surgeries for people, including children, who pretend to be the opposite sex. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says, “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” Christian US soccer player: “I'm just trying to bring people into His light.” The American men's soccer team lost to Belgium on Monday. The game knocked the U.S. out of the 2026 World Cup. Despite the loss, players on the U.S. team continued their practice of praying together on the field after the game. Player Mark McKenzie led the prayer, having become a spiritual leader on the team. He told The Athletic, “The Lord is at the center of it all. He is the main purpose. … And I'm just trying to bring people into His light in some way.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Washington and North Carolina Rachel Lundberg in Washougal, Washington wrote, “I like The Worldview because It allows me to feel like I'm aware of important things going on without having to spend so much time watching other news and sorting it out or wondering if it's true. I almost always just read it in my email and then I share certain parts with my kids and family. “My 13-year-old son recently wanted to subscribe with his own email so he can read it on his own. I also love when there is an action step to send an email or letter. Makes me feel like I can make a difference. Thank you!” Wow! I loved that last comment, Rachel. I gave you two suggested action steps today. I hope you follow through on them. I agree with you. It feels empowering. I always try to write or call myself every time I recommend it to you. And Chris Smith in Columbus, North Carolina wrote, “I've been a listener now for 10 years. I've become a vocal and financial supporter as well. In this current era, it's very difficult to find the truth about what is going on to our fellow Christians in the world without doing a lot of digging. “Since I first found you on Sermon Audio, I've become an addict of your newscast. It's a part of my weekday morning routine to read or to listen to The Worldview. I especially appreciate your correlation to Scripture in two of your stories, your encouragement to keep praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters, and how we can help them financially.” 9 Worldview listeners gave $1,590 on Wednesday And finally, on Wednesday by 7:00pm Central, 9 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 Augustine in Auburn, California and Hope in Big Lake, Minnesota – both of whom gave $20. We were touched by the generosity of Janet in Canton, Illinois, Janice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Hannah in San Jose, California – each of whom gave $100. And we're grateful to God for Melinda in Indianapolis, Indiana who pledged $10/month for 12 months for a gift of $120, Adam in Gile, Wisconsin who gave $150, Tom in Spokane, Washington who pledged $40/month for 12 months for a gift of $480, and Nancy in Flagstaff, Arizona who gave $500. Those 9 gifts add up to $1,590. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $19,288 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we have just 2 days to raise $11,587 to hit our $30,875 goal by tomorrow at 12 midnight on Friday, July 10th. To be honest, that is going to be a challenge. But with God, all things are possible. Since the beginning of this month-long campaign to fully fund the six-member Worldview team for another year, the greatest number of donations has been 15. Let's double that today! Would you consider choosing to be 1 of 30 people to step up to the plate with a one-time gift or a monthly pledge? That would help us to get significantly closer to our $30,875 goal by tomorrow, Friday, July 10th, at 12 midnight.
