TDC Podcast topics - We're here after the worst Super Bowl in league history, made worse by whatever the hell that was they put on as the halftime show, comparing this halftime show with shows of the past, TPUSA put on the Kid Rock led halftime that got great numbers, Candace Owen's thinks the Turning Point numbers were fake (with no evidence of course), Nancy Guthrie is still missing, Trumps racist Obama video, email and tons more.
It's Tuesday, February 10th, 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 Hong Kong man critical of Chinese Communists sentenced to 20 years In a Hong Kong court, religious freedom and free speech advocate Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for publishing articles against the communist Chinese government. Lai is a British Citizen and an adherent of the Catholic Church. World journalists are marking the case as a worldwide setback for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The United Kingdom home office has responded to the news. The Hong Kong Free Press reports that “British national status holders will be able to immigrate into the U.K. with their children. The office estimates that 26,000 people will arrive in the U.K. over the next five years.” Thousands of Tanzanians murdered Political upheaval, tyranny, and blood in the streets is the order of the day in Tanzania over the last few months. Some reports have revealed the government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan killed thousands of Tanzanians. Hassan is a Muslim who was re-elected in a landslide victory last October, marred by accusations of massive fraud. That's when the African country was plunged into chaos and rioting. The bloodshed and terror has gone on for months, reports The Washington Stand. In an effort to conceal the atrocities taking place there, the government has reportedly shut down the internet. Tanzania is at least nominally Christian with a 57 percent Christian population and a 37 percent Muslim population, as the Muslim creep hits south Saharan Africa. Christian martyrdom grows with Muslim population in Nigeria Islamic influence is growing in Nigeria as well — a nation where 56 percent of the population is Muslim and 43 percent is Christian. This has resulted in the martyrdom of 50,000 Christians and the displacement of millions of Christians from their homeland. Pray for our Christian brothers and sisters and the people of Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda. Civilian killings continue in Nigeria Last Tuesday, almost 200 Nigerians were killed by gunmen in the communities of Woro and Katsina, reports the International Center for Transitional Justice. Woro is located in the western Nigerian state of Kwara, while Katsina is in the northern region of the country. Psalm 35:1 says, “Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.” War Department will no longer work with Harvard War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the War Department will no longer send military officers to Harvard. He slammed the university for what he called its support of terrorism and the Chinese Communist Party. Hegseth said, “Too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” The War Department is set to re-evaluate all Ivy League school partnerships. Virginia Democrats unveil gerrymandered congressional map Democrat lawmakers in Virginia put forward a new congressional map heading into the midterm elections this November. The Old Dominion state map heavily favors Democrats, giving them four extra seats, while the Republicans would lose four seats. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the new congressional map for California was valid, giving Democrats five additional seats. Virginia Democrats swept the last election, winning races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General. All told, gerrymandering in Virginia, California, and a few other states should yield the Democrats an additional 5 to 9 seats in Congress in 2026. And gerrymandering in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri could yield the Republicans an additional 6 to 10 seats in the upcoming election. Connecticut works to expand abortion access Connecticut is launching a billboard campaign to promote abortion and death, reports LifeSiteNews. The campaign, sponsored by the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, is advertising the state's commitment to make the killing of unborn children more accessible. Billboards will announce a state-provided pro-abortion hotline. Connecticut Democrat Attorney General William Tong talked about his state's culture of death. He said, “Abortion is safe, legal and accessible here in Connecticut, and that's the way it's going to stay.” But Proverbs 31:9 instructs us to “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” GOP Rep chastises NBC & NFL for Bad Bunny's foul lyrics And finally, Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show turned into one big leftist political statement with Benito Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, and a few other characters, who openly opposed President Trump's “America First” policies. To his shame, the Puerto Rican singer sang a bunch of foul-mouthed, sexually-explicit lyrics in Spanish. Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida did not pull any punches in his X post. He wrote, “You can't say the f-word on live TV. Bad Bunny's disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth -- in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. “We are sending FCC Chairman Brendan Carr a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny. Lock them up.” You can send a short 2-4 sentence letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, urging him to levy these fines. The address is Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. Kid Rock, on Turning Point USA's half-time show, pointed to Christ Meanwhile, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, simulcast their alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Robert Ritchie known as Kid Rock. Some 20 to 30 million Americans tuned in, reports Fox News. Kid Rock threw in another verse to the hit song “Til You Can't.” Check out the lyrics. KID ROCK: “There's a book a'sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off . . . There's a man who died for all our sins a'hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and He'll give you a second chance, till you can't.” Other performers included Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. War Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson both praised the Turning Point event, reports Politico.

Extra stories Trump administration provides lower costs on prescription drugs President Donald Trump unveiled Trump Rx, a plan that brings down medicine costs for American citizens. Trump Rx negotiates lower rates with drug companies, passing the savings directly to the consumer. The plan specifically helps those who pay for medications out of pocket. The president is calling on lawmakers to pass healthcare reform through Congress to further codify his agenda. Senator launches caucus against Sharia Law Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama launched the new Sharia-Free America Caucus in the U.S. Congress, and has introduced a bill to ban Sharia Law in the United States. Tuberville said, “The strength of our country comes from one law applied equally to all. We cannot allow competing systems of governance to weaken that foundation.”
The outrage over the Super Bowl halftime show is completely overblown despite the fact that Turning Point USA Half-time show had millions of viewers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Trump of course hated Bad Bunny's halftime performance, but even he wasn't running the Turning Point alternative at Mar-a-Lago. And a couple of Olympic skiers expressing disapproval of ICE or calling for love and respect for immigrants and their fellow Americans sent MAGA into hyperdrive—with calls for the athletes to be denaturalized and deported. Meanwhile, Kash Patel stopped an investigation into the killing of Renee Good because it could make Trump look bad, and this is the week for Dems to stay on offense over the DHS funding bill. Plus, Jon Ossoff hit the right notes in a key speech in Georgia, the National Review is reporting on Trump's corruption, Lutnick did George Costanza-grade lying over his business ties to Epstein, and no, Tim is not running for Senate.

Bríet Ísis Elfar is not just one of Iceland's biggest music stars. She's an artist who embodies fearlessness, authenticity, and constant reinvention. Her breakout English-language single In Too Deep in 2018 introduced her sultry, soulful voice to the world, but it was her 2020 album Kveðja, Bríet that catapulted her to national stardom. She won “Album of the Year” and cemented herself as one of the country's most influential female musicians. Big Conversations in the Coziest Setting with Center Hotels This interview is part of my In Bed With series, created in partnership with Center Hotels. Each conversation is recorded right in a bed at one of Center Hotels' nine locations in downtown Reykjavík—keeping things cozy, relaxed, and a little unconventional. If you're planning a stay in the city, you can use my code ATI25 to save 25% off at any Center Hotels location in Reykjavík. Bríet’s Artistic & Spiritual Upbringing Born in Reykjavík in 1999, Bríet grew up in a uniquely creative and spiritual household. Her father, Benedikt Elfar, taught her guitar and nurtured her love of jazz, while her mother, Ásrún Laila Awad, led sweat-lodge ceremonies infused with mantra chanting and deep emotional connection. Raised in this world of music, ritual, and radical openness, Bríet developed both resilience and a powerful sense of self. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFeYJr4JdIk From Jazz Bars to Center Stage From singing jazz in Reykjavík restaurants for a hamburger and 5,000 krónur, to debuting her original work on the stage of Sónar Reykjavík, Bríet's journey has been anything but ordinary. She's unapologetically experimental, whether making plastic “glass” dresses with her longtime fashion collaborator, diving into collaborative projects like 1000 orð with rapper Birnir, or writing songs that transform heartbreak into catharsis. Bríet’s Radical Honesty as a Creative Force Known for her raw honesty, she has openly shared struggles with belonging, heartbreak, and personal growth. Yet through it all, her guiding philosophy remains simple: don't take life too seriously, embrace failure, and always follow the intuition of the heart. At a Turning Point, Always Becoming Today, Bríet stands at a new turning point—after years of acclaim, collaborations with major Icelandic artists like Ásgeir Trausti and Friðrik Dór, and millions of streams worldwide, she continues to chase the unknown. Whether sitting next to global icons in Tokyo or returning to her roots in a sweat lodge in Iceland, Bríet carries a rare ability to turn both joy and pain into beauty.

Gia Santos joins Stew to dismantle the myth of Trump's mass deportations. Over a year into his second term, less than 350,000 illegals deported in 2025—far from the promised 50 million. Instead, DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol, backed by Palantir, are building a facial recognition dystopia to track Americans. Jake GTV exposes Trump's sellout betrayal, buried Epstein child rape tapes, and the AI surveillance grid Talmudic perverts are forcing on Americans to destroy us while pushing Netanyahu's Iran war.
Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/f9jE9NyfXVc In this episode, I explore the significance of current astrological transits, focusing on the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at zero degrees of Aries – a powerful point of closure and the ending of a vast 6,387 year collective cycle. Connecting these transits to unfolding world events, including recent revelations that bring darker themes into collective awareness, I offer a wider cosmic perspective on why consciousness requires both light and shadow, reflecting on the spiritual implications of this moment and what it asks of us individually. The episode concludes with practical and spiritual guidance for navigating times of deep spiritual conflict, driven by a small concentration of power. 00:01 – Astrology & Collective Energy 05:15 – Humanity's Turning Point 09:06 – Unveiling Darkness 17:45 – Light, Dark & Consciousness 32:55 – Grounding & Sovereignty John Carpenter https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Carpenter,_John They Live US release date: November 4, 1988.

In this deeply reflective episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan welcomes Tracy Smith, author of The Purpose Was in Getting Lost. Tracy opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected and directionless to finding self-belonging and purpose through vulnerability, travel, and self-trust. She shares how the quiet ache of being “lost” became the very invitation to rediscover her authentic self — not through reinvention, but by saying yes to herself for the first time. About the Guest: Tracy Smith is a writer, traveler, and mother based in Washington, D.C. Her memoir explores how losing herself — both literally and emotionally — led to powerful transformation. Through stories of courage, midlife exploration, and self-compassion, Tracy helps others see “lost” not as failure, but as freedom. Key Takeaways: Getting lost can be the path back to yourself. Reinvention isn't about becoming someone new — it's about reclaiming who you've always been. Saying yes to yourself, even in small ways, is radical self-love. Travel and solitude can be powerful mirrors for inner healing. Connect with Tracy Smith: Instagram | Website | Author Page — Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti spreads to nonpolitical and Trump-friendly spaces, even as Border Czar Tom Homan promises to "draw down" the DHS presence in Minneapolis and the White House caves to Democrats' demands on debating DHS funding. Could this be a turning point in the Trump presidency? Jon and Dan discuss all the latest, including Anderson Cooper's extraordinary conversation with Stella Carlson, the woman who filmed the crucial angle of the shooting. Then they turn to the FBI's deeply troubling raid on the election headquarters in Fulton County, Georgia, and the premiere of "Melania," a multi-million dollar bribe from Jeff Bezos to the first family disguised as a documentary. Then, Jon sits down with MSNOW's Joe Scarborough to talk about why Republicans in Congress still put up with Trump, and why he hopes the next Democratic nominee returns to the party's organizing roots.

Since the killing of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minnesota, President Donald Trump and his administration are feeling the pressure — not only from Democrats, but also from members of their own party. Some congressional Republicans have been critical of the administration's aggressive immigration enforcement tactics and are worried about consequences for the midterms.“The more the image is out there that President Trump is pushing things very far … [and] is responsible for chaos,” senior national politics reporter Naftali Bendavid says, “the easier it is for Democrats to make the case that they are needed, if nothing else, to put some guardrails up.”Naftali spoke on this week's episode of the “Post Reports” politics roundtable, alongside host Colby Itkowitz and Dan Merica, co-anchor of the politics newsletter The Early Brief. They discussed how Democrats are using the threat of a government shutdown as leverage to demand stronger reforms of the Department of Homeland Security.Colby, Naftali and Dan also reflected on the attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) at a recent town hall. “We've seen people lose their lives in political violence moments last year,” Merica says, ”and you have to worry that it could happen again this year.”Today's show was produced by Thomas Lu and Josh Carroll. It was edited by Martine Powers and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here. And watch us on YouTube here.

The military is supposed to be apolitical, but what happens when ideology quietly replaces constitutional accountability? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chase Spears, a 20-year U.S. Army combat veteran who walked away from a major promotion to speak out about what's really happening inside our armed forces. We dive deep into how DEI policies have infiltrated the military, eroding trust, readiness, and the ability of service members to speak truth. Chase shares his firsthand experience watching the institution transform from 2003 to 2023, the consequences he faced for standing on his convictions, and why he ultimately chose conscience over career. This isn't just about the military—it's about institutional capture across America and what it takes to fight back. If you care about national defense, freedom, and moral courage, this conversation is a must-listen. Chase's message to current service members is clear: stop talking, start doing.

Send us a textFor decades, women were told that hormone replacement therapy was dangerous — largely due to a deeply flawed study that created fear, confusion, and misinformation around female hormones. In a long-overdue move, the FDA has now removed the black box warning on hormone therapy for women, signaling a shift back toward science.In this episode, Dr. Greg Dennis breaks down why the warning existed in the first place, what went wrong with the original research, and why properly prescribed hormone replacement therapy is one of the most powerful tools for women's long-term health and quality of life. We discuss the benefits of starting HRT early, why choosing the right provider matters, and the pros and cons of today's treatment options — including pellets, creams, injections, and patches.This is an honest, science-based conversation about why female hormone replacement therapy deserves a second look — and why it may be one of the best decisions a woman can make for her health.

Sometimes, the greatest breakthroughs come not in moments of triumph, but in the quiet unraveling of everything we thought we had figured out. In this powerful solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh takes us deep into a personal journey that reshaped his life. For the first time, Darius opens up about a transformative moment in the summer of 2022—when he confronted a lifelong battle with anxiety head-on during a 30-day stay in Oaxaca, Mexico. Despite achieving financial success and building a dream life, Darius found himself overwhelmed by anxiety, unable to enjoy the present, and haunted by fears of the future and regrets of the past. Stripped of his usual distractions, he was forced to sit with his thoughts and emotions—leading to a profound realization about ego, identity, and the illusion of control. In this episode, Darius will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Personal Transformation (02:49) The Struggle with Anxiety (06:10) The Turning Point in Oaxaca (11:58) Discovering New Perspectives Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.

Dating someone with covert narcissistic traits rarely feels abusive at first. In fact, it often feels intoxicating—intense attention, deep emotional connection, and a sense of being chosen in a way you may never have experienced before. This episode explores why that intensity feels so powerful—and why it so often turns confusing, controlling, and unsafe. In this deeply honest conversation, Jacquie Roar shares her personal story of navigating covert narcissism in a dating relationship. She talks openly about love bombing, emotional manipulation, isolation, and how her sense of self slowly eroded long before she had words for what was happening. Like many survivors, she believed the problem was something she could fix—if only she tried harder, loved better, or showed more understanding. Together, we explore how covert narcissistic abuse impacts the nervous system, why leaving can feel harder than staying, and why the aftermath often includes depression, grief, and intense self-doubt rather than immediate relief. Jacquie also speaks about the moment that changed everything—when survival became more important than hope—and how healing required learning to accept healthy love after chaos. This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned themselves after a relationship ended and wondered: Why did it feel so good at first? Why did I get smaller over time? Why did peace feel unfamiliar after I left? You are not weak. You were responding to a dynamic designed to confuse, bond, and control. This conversation offers clarity, validation, and hope—without pressure, judgment, or diagnosis.
