UnitedHealthcare CEO gunned down in NYC, Trump pick for Drug Enforcement Administration withdraws, Philippians 4:6 most popular verse this year

The WorldView in 5 Minutes

It's Thursday, December 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Muslim terrorist group in Syria puts Christians in grave danger Islamic militias with the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant took over Syria's second largest city of Aleppo last week. It's the latest offensive in the years-long civil war between government forces and armed rebel groups in the country. The tensions mean grave danger for Christians who live in the area. Churches are still open, but militants are removing Christmas decorations.  The Muslim terrorist group is known for brutal governance and violent persecution. Please pray for Christians in Syria, ranked 12th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  1 Peter 4:12-13 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.” UnitedHealthcare CEO gunned down in NYC In the United States, chilling video shows the moment a gunman calmly shoots down  UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, age 50, at close range on the streets of Midtown Manhattan in front of the New York Hilton Hotel on Wednesday morning, reports the New York Post. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny explained what happened before the shooting. KENNY: “The shooter arrived at the location on foot about five minutes prior to the victim's arrival. He stands alongside the building line as numerous other people and pedestrians pass him by. From video, we see at 6:44am the victim is walking alone towards the Hilton after exiting his hotel across the street. We believe the victim was headed to the Hilton Hotel to attend the United Health Group investors conference that was scheduled to start at 8am.” In the video, the unidentified assailant — clad in a black hoodie, black mask, black pants, gloves and wearing a gray backpack — can be seen methodically firing what appears to be a single-action handgun at the CEO, pulling back the slide with each shot. Thompson stumbles back upon the first shot, which appears to hit him in the back, briefly turning to face the shooter before falling to the sidewalk and attempting to crawl away as the gunman continues firing.  New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch added this. TISCH: “At this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, pre-planned, targeted attack.” While the shooter fled on foot and disappeared into Central Park, emergency personnel administered CPR at the scene to Thompson, before rushing him to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The shooter remains at large. TISCH: “The full investigative efforts of the New York City Police Department are well underway, and we will not rest until we identify and apprehend the shooter in this case.” UnitedHealthcare is the nation's largest health insurer. It is a division of UnitedHealth Group, the fourth-largest public company in America behind Walmart, Amazon, and Apple. Thompson's wife, Paulette, told NBC News that he had been receiving threats perhaps over a lack of health care coverage. Plus, another wrinkle in the story, is that Thompson was one of several senior executives at UnitedHealthcare under investigation by the Department of Justice. On February 16th, he exercised stock options and sold shares worth $15.1 million, less than two weeks before news of the federal antitrust probe went public, according to a Crain's New York Business report from April. Trump pick for Drug Enforcement Administration withdraws On Tuesday, Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald Trump's selection to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, said that he would withdraw from consideration, reports NBC News. Chronister, who is the sheriff in Hillsborough County, Florida, said he would turn down Trump's planned nomination to be the next DEA administrator just three days after Trump announced it. He is the second of Trump's administration picks to take his name out of the running, after former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida dropped his bid to become attorney general last month. Chronister ran into a series of hurdles from Trump's political base because of how he handled the coronavirus pandemic — particularly his decision in 2020 to arrest Tampa Pastor Ronald Howard-Browne for simply holding a church service. Pro-life ruling upholds ban on abortion trafficking A federal appeals court upheld an Idaho law on Monday that bans abortion trafficking, reports the Idaho Capital Sun.  The 2023 law protects pregnant minors from being transported for an abortion without their parents' knowledge. The law is in addition to a 2022 law that bans nearly all abortions.  Linda Thomas, Director of Community Outreach, told LifeNews, “With abortions virtually banned in Idaho, Planned Parenthood and other organizations are actively coaching and luring women across state lines for abortions. This is abortion trafficking.” Transgender case heard at Supreme Court The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a major transgender case yesterday. The Biden administration is challenging a Tennessee law that protects children from drugs and operations meant to enable them to pretend to be the opposite sex. The conservative majority on the court appeared supportive of the law during the hearing.  However, a decision isn't expected for months. The ruling could affect similar measures in 25 other states.  Philippians 4:6 most popular verse this year And finally, the Bible app YouVersion reports that more people engaged with the Bible this year in record numbers. The most popular verse of the year was Philippians 4:6. It says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Bible engagement grew significantly in Central Africa, Eastern Africa, and Latin America. One of YouVersion's partners in the app is 24-7 Prayer International. Carla Harding noted, “Throughout 2024, we have seen a rise in the number of people dedicating themselves to night and day prayer in different nations around the world. Our hope is that through continual prayer, the global church would be ignited in the presence of God and carry His love with greater compassion and power to the communities around them.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, December 5th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

President-elect Trump wants former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to head the Justice Department. If Matt Gaetz does become Attorney General – the 87th Attorney General in U.S. history -- he'd likely appear before the House Judiciary Committee for oversight hearings. What would that sound like?

The judge is making money on it -- or the judge's family is making money on it for stuff that you yourself wouldn't do. You know, no one's going to buy this. No one's going to believe it. It's going to create great disruption. And I am saddened by it because, like you, I have given my life to the law. I care deeply about the law.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Myanmar's persecution of Christians The military regime of Myanmar continues its persecution of Christians. Authorities imposed new restrictions in the capital of Rakhine State. Churches cannot display crosses. They must also submit membership lists to police and get authorization to hold services. One local Christian told the Myanmar Pressphoto Agency, “Last month, we installed a cross, a symbol of our faith, as a way to identify the Christian church here, but the police came and demanded it be removed. We prayed before putting it up, so we refused to take it down ourselves, and instead asked them to do it on their own.”  The southeast Asian nation is ranked 17th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of countries where it most difficult to be a Christian.  Slovakia's March for Life draws 40,000 This past September, nearly 40,000 people participated in the fourth March for Life in Slovakia, reports LifeSiteNews. The slogan of the march in the Eastern European nation was “Love is pro-life.”  Jozef Miklosko, the country's Commissioner for Children, addressed the crowd, saying it's his job to stand up for children, born or unborn. Abortion is currently legal up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, the abortion kill pill is not legal. Slovakia also voted to reject a resolution by the European Parliament to make abortion a so-called right.  Trump nominates Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy to lead Dept. of Government Efficiency In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump announced tech billionaire Elon Musk and conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a new Department of Government Efficiency.  Trump said in a statement, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.”  Musk said the department's actions “will be posted online for maximum transparency. We will also have a leaderboard for [the] most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.” In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” Trump picks Matt Gaetz as Attorney General Trump also tapped Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida to be his Attorney General, reports CBS News.  Trump praised him as a "tenacious attorney" who will "end weaponized government, protect our borders, dismantle criminal organizations and restore Americans' badly shattered faith and confidence in the Justice Department." Gaetz immediately resigned from Congress. Trump picked Fox News host & veteran Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary President-elect Trump also surprised many by picking Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense, reports Fox News. Trump wrote, “Pete has spent his entire life as a warrior for the troops, and for the country. Pete is tough, smart, and a true believer in America First."  Hegseth, age 44, an Army National Guard veteran who served tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, has hosted the FOX Nation "Patriot Awards" since 2019, which is the network's version of a Hollywood awards show honoring heroes like first responders.  Take a look at the winners of the 2023 Patriot Awards through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Court: Blue Cross to pay $12 million for firing over COVID shot A former employee of Blue Cross Blue Shield won a $12 million settlement last Friday in a religious liberty case. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan fired Lisa Domski in 2021 after she sought a religious exemption for the COVID-19 shot. The insurance company denied her request, calling into question her objections as a Catholic.  Her attorney, Jon Marko, said, “Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury's verdict today tells [Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan] that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person's right to religious freedom.” Judge blocks Ten Commandments at schools On Tuesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked a Louisiana law that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. U.S. District Judge John deGravelles ruled the law is “unconstitutional on its face.”  Louisiana's Attorney General Liz Murrill said she would appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. She said, “This law, I believe, is constitutional . . . you don't have to like the posters. The point is you can make posters that comply with the Constitution.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, God said, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children … You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Trump won 56% of the Christian vote And finally, Dr. George Barna released a report on the Christian vote in this year's presidential election. The report found self-identified Christians made up 72% of the voters who turned out, and Trump won 56% of the Christian vote. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris won 60% of the non-Christian vote. The study noted, “not only did most of President Trump's votes come from Christians, but they gave him a 17-million-vote cushion over Mrs. Harris, which proved to be an insurmountable lead. The incumbent Vice President fared much better among people associated with non-Christian faiths and with no religious faith, but those segments represented too small a slice of the voting population to make her bid for the White House viable.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, November 14th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

The former President was ranting about non-existent Department of Justice rules that he claims prevent him from being prosecuted during an election year, though no such rules exist anywhere.Also, during a recent appearance on Newsmax, Trump lawyer Alina Habba was nearly tricked into arguing AGAINST presidential immunity when a host asked her if President Biden could be sued after a nursing student was murdered recently. Habba said that Biden definitely bore the responsibility for it, but when the host pressed about suing him, Habba was forced to defend Biden saying that all presidents should enjoy immunity. And during his speech at CPAC this past weekend, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz told the crowd "you're welcome" for taking on "the swamp" of Washington, D.C. He also boasted that taking on this so-called swamp has made life a "living hell" for his Republican colleagues, and creating hell on earth is something Gaetz is extremely proud of. There's just one major problem with his assessment of things.And finally, during Donald Trump's CPAC speech, he began talking about his "wife", but he didn't refer to her by name. And then, in the very same breath, he referred to a woman named "Mercedes." This led many on social media to believe that Trump had forgotten the name of his own wife, but he was actually referring to Mercedes Schlapp who was standing just off stage. But even if he knew his wife's name, the weird non-sequitur is still something that should raise eyebrows.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

Matt Gaetz Offers Extremely Asinine Reason His Wife Wasn't Allowed To Watch Super Bowl

 Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz announced before the Super Bowl on Sunday that he wasn't going to allow his wife to watch the game because the game was going to feature the "Black National Anthem" before kickoff. The song, actually called "Lift Every Voice and Sing", has been performed for the past few years at the game, but Gaetz is so angered by the thought of Black people feeling empowered and inspired that he won't allow his wife to enjoy the game.Also,  Donald Trump has gone completely off the deep end at this point, and he is now trying to take credit for Taylor Swift becoming one of the biggest artists of all time. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump attacked Swift by claiming that a bill he signed is what made her "so much money," and he then said that she would be being "disloyal" to him if she endorsed President Biden. Trump has had in it for Swift since 2018 when she endorsed candidates running against his friends, but he's completely delusional if he thinks he had anything to do with her success.And thanks to the Special Prosecutor's report, President Biden's mental fitness has been called into question over the past few days. And while there are reasons to be concerned about Biden, they don't stack up against the mental problems that Donald Trump is facing. The Morning Joe crew on MSNBC put together a shocking supercut of all of Trump's gaffes and incoherent ramblings from the past weekend, and there were plenty from just a handful of appearances. Farron Cousins explains why Trump's mental health is a greater concern than Biden's. Finally, a group of Donald Trump's allies are about to hold a two-day retreat where they will teach Trump loyalists how to blindly follow Trump's orders if they are to receive a Cabinet post (assuming he wins the election this year.) This is an absolutely terrifying development that deserves far more attention. These people are being groomed to serve as spineless "Yes Men" at Trump's disposal, and will remake the government in any form that he instructs them to do.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

Alina Habba Busted At Trump Party After Claiming She Was Sick To Delay Trial

The defamation trial against Donald Trump was delayed earlier this week after one juror fell ill and Alina Habba reported having a fever after being exposed to Covid. However, this alleged illness didn't stop Habba from partying with the Trump campaign in New Hampshire on Tuesday evening - just 24 hours after she was allegedly too ill to perform in court. Habba's actions are certainly going to come up in court, and could be used to convince a jury that she isn't trustworthy, as Farron Cousins explains. Also, Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, is now calling on Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential race so that the Party can unite behind Donald Trump. Trump won New Hampshire on Tuesday, but Haley beat expectations and closed a 14-point gap down to about 10 points. McDaniel is a poor leader and has been since she took the job, and her idea of uniting behind Trump would be a disaster for the Republican Party.And the House Ethics Committee has contacted more witnesses for testimony and evidence against Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Gaetz isn't taking this new development lightly. Gaetz lashed out at the Committee and tried to deflect from his own problems by bringing up the fact that there are members of Congress who are clearly engaging in insider trading. While insider trading is obviously bad, it isn't nearly as bad as what Gaetz has been accused of doing.Finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene is apparently a little over-excited about the New Hampshire primary results, and she proudly proclaimed that Trump is now THE GUY for the GOP this year. But she didn't just celebrate Trump's mediocre victory, she also issued a threat to the entire Republican Party. Greene says that any Republican that doesn't support Trump will be "eradicated" from the Party, whatever that means. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

In a filing on Monday evening, special prosecutor Jack Smith revealed that he will be calling an expert witness to explain the data from Donald Trump's cell phone both before and during the Capitol Riot. This will include data obtained from his Twitter account that was successfully retrieved earlier this year. This is a giant revelation, and it is proof that Smith has even more evidence than we could have imagined.Also, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz traveled far from his home in Florida all the way to Ohio to be presented with an award from a local Republican Party chapter, but things didn't go as planned. Gaetz was presented with an award, but a clever troll usurped the moment and handed him the award saying that it was for his use of Venmo to pay off women. Gaetz was visibly annoyed and humiliated and quickly left the stage after getting angry at the activist. And Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial began this week, and it could not have gotten off to a worse start. To begin, Giuliani drew the judge's wrath when he showed up 20 minutes late for the start of the trial, and then his lawyer managed to anger the judge when he objected to evidence that he had previously approved during the pre-trial negotiations. Things are likely to get worse for Giuliani from here.Finally, Republican Congressman Ken Buck has been one of the loudest GOP voices in Congress talking about how stupid their push for impeachment is. But even though Buck admits that there is so far no evidence showing that President Biden committed any crimes, he admitted this week that he'll still probably vote for impeachment anyway. Not only is this irresponsible, it is proof that the impeachment isn't about accountability and is instead 100% about revenge.

In an early morning session on Thursday (shortly after midnight, actually), Republicans in the Senate took terms begging Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville to end his blockade on military promotions so that the country can move forward. Lindsey Graham and Todd Young did most of the talking, with Graham going as far as to say that he now is questioning Tuberville's judgement as a person. This blockade is not going well for Republicans, but Tuberville probably won't be the one being punished.Also, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz is angry about words in a glossary. In his most recent podcast episode, Gaetz talked about a report from a conservative website that attacked the NSA for having a glossary that contained words like "whiteness." Gaetz took this and ran with it, going as far as to suggest that the NSA could even be spying on him because he's white and doesn't subscribe to a liberal ideology. This is a new level of stupidity, even for Gaetz.Finally, Donald Trump's legal team almost appears to be actively working against him in the ongoing New York fraud trial, as one of their "expert witnesses" this past week actually pointed out several instances of fraud in their own evidence documents. The expert did say that he thinks that the accountants, not Donald Trump, were to blame for this, apparently forgetting that the WHOLE company is on trial, not just the former President.

Donald Trump suffered another mental breakdown this past week after Judge Arthur Engoron refused to reverse the $10,000 sanctions that he ordered after Trump violated the gag order again, and the former President got on Truth Social and accused the judge of "going crazy" with his "hatred". Trump knows exactly what he is doing with statements like this, but that aside, he doesn't have much room to say that anyone else is "going crazy."Also,  Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz feels like he is on top of the world right now after he finally succeeded in getting "MAGA Mike Johnson" elected Speaker, so Gaetz is using his new powers to hit back at his fellow Republicans. During his podcast late last week, Gaetz accused fellow Republican Congressman Jason Smith of "living a lie," in response to Smith saying that Gaetz is a liar. But Gaetz went even further and said that all Republicans in Congress "know what I'm talking about." What does this cryptic rant mean?And finally, Donald Trump is known for his campaign rallies, as they were a central part of both of his previous presidential bids and his administration. But those rallies are becoming a thing of the past, with the former president now averaging just 2 per month, instead of multiple rallies per week. Part of the problem is that he just can't draw a crowd like he used to, and the few people who attend are leaving halfway through (or earlier) because he says the same thing every time.

This comes after militants killed 40 believers in the week leading up to Christmas. One local resident said, “Mass graves litter the community and the countryside. Our people can no longer go to their farms for fear of being gunned down or macheted. Lamentably, the Fulani terrorist attacks have continued unabated as they are heard chanting, ‘Allah Akbar [Allah, the moon god, is greater]' during the killing and destructive expeditions.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. GOP conservatives reject Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker The House adjourned without a speaker on Tuesday for the first time in a century after Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy of California failed in a third straight vote for the gavel, reports Politico.com. It comes after 19 Republican conservatives derailed McCarthy's first and second vote to become Speaker, throwing the party further into chaos on their first day in the majority. Twenty House Republicans threw their support behind GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who has repeatedly said he does not want the gavel, which sunk McCarthy's bid to take the position on the opening day of Congress. In fact, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida slammed Kevin McCarthy as he nominated Jim Jordan. Listen. GAETZ: “Maybe the right person for the job of Speaker of the House isn't someone – [McCarthy] -- who wants it so bad. Maybe the right person for the job of Speaker of the House isn't someone who has sold shares of themselves for more than a decade to get it. (surprised reaction) Maybe Jim Jordan is the right person for Speaker of the House because he is not beholden to the lobbyists and special interests who have corrupted this place and corrupted this nation under the leadership of both Republicans and Democrats. “Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person for Speaker of the House because he wouldn't fight us when we try to get a term limits bill on the floor. Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person because he wouldn't fight us when we try to put a balanced budget on the floor and vote for it. And maybe Jim Jordan is the right person because he would endorse the plan that was built by the Texas delegation to finally secure our border.” McCarthy, who can only afford to lose four votes out of the 222 Republican members, is facing an uphill battle to take over the gavel from Nancy Pelosi. Before the vote, Gaetz said, "Those of us who will not be voting for Kevin McCarthy today take no joy in this discomfort that this moment has brought. But if you want to drain the swamp, you cannot put the biggest alligator in charge of the exercise. I'm a Florida man and I know of what I speak.” New York judge allows people to pack heat at church Last Thursday, a U.S. federal judge temporarily blocked a New York State law that prohibits people from carrying firearms in houses of worship.  Pastor Michael Spencer of His Tabernacle Family Church is challenging the law and is represented by First Liberty Institute.  Ryan Gardner with First Liberty said, “Singling out houses of worship for total disarmament demonstrates hostility toward religion, leaves them defenseless to rebuff violent attacks, sticks the state's nose into how religious services are conducted, and defies at least two recent Supreme Court rulings against New York.” Sean Feucht vs. Antifa at defaced San Diego church Antifa members defaced City View Church's building in San Diego, California last week. The church was planning on holding a New Year's Eve worship service led by Christian singer Sean Feucht. Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime. The far-left activists spray painted profanities and threats on the church building. According to a video of one tweet, Feucht told ChurchLeaders.com, “The church isn't a building. We're the bride of Christ and in 2023 we're rising up like never before.” FEUCHT: “Rejoice and be glad. So, that's what we're going to do in San Diego tonight. We've been persecuted. All kinds of crazy stuff has been said. This church has been vandalized. But you know what? Tonight, you're going to see a resilient church. This is a prophetic night for what God is doing in 2023. You're going to see a church rising up in boldness, rising up in courage.” Matthew 5:10-12 says, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Court upholds school's right to restrict bathrooms to biological sex Last Friday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Florida school district's anti-transgender policy. The St. Johns County School Board has a bathroom policy that distinguishes students based on biological sex. A female student pretending to be a boy sued the school over the policy.  The ruling noted, “The school board's bathroom policy is clearly related to — indeed, is almost a mirror of — its objective of protecting the privacy interests of students to use the bathroom away from the opposite sex and to shield their bodies from the opposite sex in the bathroom.” Wall Street's worst year since 2008 And finally, Wall Street ended its worst year since 2008 last Friday. All three major stock indices reported painful losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 8% for 2022. The S&P 500 dropped nearly 20%, and the  tech-heavy Nasdaq fell over 30%.
