Everyone is talking about building a village right now. It's on social media, in parenting forums, in wellness content, in the conversations we have when we're exhausted and lonely and wondering why support feels so hard to find.But how many of us have actually experienced a REAL village? Today's guest, Tom Karrel, has spent a lot of time thinking about it.Tom is the author of The Lost Art of Random Conversations, and he has more than 10,000 hours of group facilitation experience across 45 countries. He also spent years living and working in Uganda, including in rural village communities where the pace, expectations, and social fabric look very different from the way many of us live in the U.S.In this episode, Tom and I talk about what it felt like to enter a 350-person Ugandan village as an outsider, how learning to greet people in the local language became a bridge, and why “going first” is often the only way into connection.We also talk about time, uncertainty, social trust, Ring doorbells, random conversations, Seattle sidewalks, Mexican fishermen, and what it means to put your phone away long enough to notice the person standing in front of you.In this episode you'll hear about:How being visibly different forced Tom to practice vulnerability, humility, and going first over and over againWhat living in a 350-person village taught Tom about presence, schedules, and the way we prioritize tasks vs. peopleWhy the interruptions we avoid might be the exact moments that make life feel more connectedWhat the “Seattle Freeze” has to do with social trust, small risks, and choosing to smile at strangers anywayWhy fumbling through a new language in a Ugandan village is not that different from trying to make friends at a gymResources & LinksCheck out Tom's book, The Lost Art of Random Conversations and learn more about him on his website.Like what you hear?

It's Friday, September 18th, 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 Adam McManus Ugandan Muslim father tried to burn Christian daughters alive At around midnight on September 6, Amina and Shamila, two newly converted Christian sisters, were inside their home in Kasese District in the country of Uganda, Africa when their house was set on fire, reports International Christian Concern. The arsonist was their Muslim father, Muhamud. He had doused the house with gas, then set it alight while the girls slept inside. He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they recently converted to Christianity on August 26. The girls awoke to the smell of gas and the sight of flames surrounding them. Amina said, “We saw flames of fire consuming our house. We now started looking for Plan B to escape death.”  The girls barely escaped in time.  Shamila added, “We knew that our lives were in danger. We removed the bricks and escaped through the hole. Thank God that He gave us a way to get out alive.”   The girls survived the fire which destroyed almost everything they owned. Amina said, “We are happy to say that the fire consumed our shelter, but did not consume our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.” Indeed, 1 Peter 1:3 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." In your prayers today, thank God for protecting Amina and Shamila, these Ugandan sisters who recently trusted Christ.  Pray for their father to be held accountable and that he, too, would come to Christ. Muslims represent only 14% of the Ugandan population. Rising gas/food prices are "killing" Trump and Republicans Appearing on Fox News, Brit Hume, their Chief Political Analyst, explained to Bret Baier that the November 3rd election is not looking good for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. HUME: “The Fed is concerned about the same thing that our polling today, that came out today, suggests the American public is concerned about. That's the issue that helped elect Donald Trump. And I'm talking about inflation right now. “Question has been raised: Has the Trump administration made the economy better or worse? Fully 63% say it's made it worse, and that is 11 points higher, 11 percentage points higher than the number of people who thought that last year. That is not a number that the president can be very content with, and if you look at what people are saying about what is a major problem for their family: 62% said grocery prices, 61% said gasoline prices. Those are both things that are up. “The president was elected in the hope, I believe, that inflation could be brought under control, and to some extent on many products it has. But when it comes to gasoline, a reflection of the Iran war, and groceries, which have continued to go up, the problem is worse. “And it's certainly plaguing the president and driving down his approval rating. When a president's approval rating is down, particularly in a midterm election, it is very hard on his party.” House ensures data centers cover their own energy costs On September 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure put forward by Republicans that would provide a federal blueprint to ensure that data centers pay for their use of local energy grids, reports The Epoch Times. It was adopted in a 417–3 vote. The legislation would impose new requirements on artificial intelligence data centers.  Typically, they draw huge amounts of electricity from local power grids, straining supplies and leading to utility bill shocks for households across the nation. Estimates indicate that data centers use about 4 percent of the U.S. electric grid. According to Electric Choice, the energy used to power these facilities, which draw roughly 176 terawatts of electricity per year, could otherwise be used to power 16 million homes. Hollywood refused to honor Chuck Norris at Emmys Hollywood is facing a Texas-sized backlash after television legend Chuck Norris was conspicuously left out of the Emmy Awards' televised “In Memoriam” tribute, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. Norris, the conservative Christian action star who became a television icon playing Cordell Walker on CBS's “Walker, Texas Ranger,” died in March at the age of 86. Yet his name and image were nowhere to be found during Monday night's tribute. Breitbart's John Nolte suggested that politics may have been behind the snub, calling Norris a “conservative TV icon” and arguing the omission amounted to blacklisting. Academy chairman Cris Abrego said before the broadcast that an unusually large number of prominent television figures had died and it was “not feasible” to include everyone in the televised segment. But for Norris fans, leaving out the man who dominated Saturday-night television for nearly a decade was one roundhouse kick too many. Single mothers are getting older Single moms are getting older. According to the Institute for Family Studies,  “Births to unmarried mothers are stereotypically thought of as occurring to young women. This is still true — but increasingly less so. In recent years, the age profile of unmarried mothers has changed due to shifting birth rates. Birth rates to young, unmarried women are declining, while birth rates to unmarried women over 35 are increasing. “The birth rate to unmarried women, ages 15 to 44, declined by 19% in the decade between 2014 and 2024. “Meanwhile, the unmarried birth rate for women over 35 is increasing — by 15% between 2014 and 2024. “At the same time, the unmarried birth rate for women over 40 increased by 40%. Notably, 2024 was the first year where the birth rate to unmarried women ages 40-44 was higher than the birth rate to unmarried teens.” Court upholds Indiana's ban on ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries for kids Last Friday, a federal court sided with Indiana in upholding a state law prohibiting ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries from being conducted on children, reports the Federalist. Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita said, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.'” Head of Texas Libertarian Party is a polygamist And finally, you probably have never heard of Andrew Amelang, the Chairman of the Texas Libertarian Party. He is also a proud polygamist, reports The Daily Citizen. Worse yet, he also holds a key leadership position in an organization called Biblical Families. The website claims that “plural marriage” is Biblical. Full stop. Any Christian worth his salt knows well that the presence of a particular act, like polygamy, rape or incest in the Bible, does not mean that God endorses it. By no means!  The Bible holds up a mirror to the sinfulness of man and thus his need for a Savior. Genesis 2:24 could not be more clear. "Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”  The verse does not say he will cleave unto his multiple wives.

There is a lot to love about the English non-leagues, but it will be hard to top the sensational story that emerged about SE Dons goalie George Desmond Kamurasi last week. The 36-year-old, who plies his trade in England's ninth tier, has been chosen to be the next king of the Tooro people, one of the four traditional kingdoms in Uganda, following the death of his cousin, King Oyo, in late August. There are so many questions to be answered. Who, for example, has chosen him to be the king – and why? Could he miss his cousin's funeral for football? Does he want to be royalty in Africa? And what might happen if he rejects the offer and stays in the UK? Plus, Dominica's national team takes the unusual step of appealing on social media for a new goalkeeper, Vanuatu hosts its first professional matches, and Norwegian side Strømmen send their reserves to the Arctic Circle.

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is expected to hold talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington this week as Senegal seeks a new IMF programme. Earlier, the government introduced measures aimed at easing the cost of living and reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF on a new $2.2 billion, three-year lending programme to support economic and financial reforms. However, the deal still requires approval from the IMF Executive Board.Meanwhile, on the streets of Dakar, protesters are calling for lower prices on essential goods and services, including food, fuel, electricity and rent. We examine the impact of Senegal's hidden debt crisis of more than $11 billion on ordinary citizens, how the country reached this point and what plans are in place to address the challenges.And we hear from a Ugandan designer whose creativity captured global attention at the recently concluded Miss World pageant in Vietnam. Her striking design, worn by Miss World Uganda, brought to life the seven anatomical layers involved in a Caesarean section, earning international recognition and sparking conversations far beyond the world of fashion.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Davis Mwasaru Senior Producer: Blessing Aderogba Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

It's Monday, September 14th, 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 Adam McManus Former Muslim beaten badly by three Ugandan Muslim sons A 52-year-old Christian in eastern Uganda was recovering from injuries after his Muslim sons attacked him for leaving Islam, reports Morning Star News. Kibirige Abumusa returned home on August 9 after an extended stay in Jinja City, where he had put his faith in Jesus Christ on June 1 at an open-air evangelistic event after which he stayed for discipleship. Immediately after Abumusa's conversion, a Muslim imam in Jinja City told his son Budallah.  Upon his father's return, Budallah questioned his father about abandoning Islam, calling him an infidel, and told him that he did not deserve to live because of his decision to leave Islam. Budallah struck Abumusa with a stick, and his four other sons joined in beating him. By the time neighbors arrived, Abumusa was weak, bleeding from the nose and had wounds on his hands, legs, and back. Islam teaches that killing a former Muslim earns the killer paradise. Muslims make up just 12 percent of Uganda's population. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” Detroit pastor declares: “Satan, you will not steal our country!” Appearing at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas last week, Lorenzo Sewell, a black Detroit, Michigan pastor of the 180 Church, delivered a benediction which was well received. SEWELL: “I would like to preach a message entitled ‘Enough is enough.' How many know that we are saying today: ‘Not today, Satan'? “You will not steal our country. You will not have our children. You will not have our families. Enough is enough. I know I got somebody in this room that believes in the King of Glory, the One who is strong and mighty, the One who is mighty in battle.  He's got the only name given among men whereby we must be saved, and that's the name of Jesus. Come on now. If you believe in that name, put your hands together and give your great God great glory. “Devil, you won't have the land where my fathers died. Devil, you won't have the land of the Pilgrim's pride. From every mountainside, we believe that freedom will ring. If you believe where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Come on, Texas, put your hands together, and give our great God great glory. (applause) “Before I take my seat, let me just ask you one question: ‘Are you proud to be an American?' CROWD: “Yes!” SEWELL: “For at least I know that I'm free, and I thank God for the men and the women that died, that gave that right to me. And I'm gonna stand up and fight, fight, fight for the soul of a nation. If that's you, put your hands together and give your God great glory.” (applause) Psalm 96:8 says, "Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name.” While Lorenzo Sewell was in high school, his father went to prison for murder, and his younger brother was hit by a car and killed. That's when Sewell became heavily involved in drugs, drug dealing, and the gang life, ultimately becoming a gang leader. During his senior year of high school, while under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Daytona Beach, Florida, Sewell was kicked out of a resort. On his way out, the security guard told Sewell that he would pray for him. On April 18, 1999, Sewell attended his grandmother's church, and had a "Damascus Road" experience that turned his life around. No wonder, after his dramatic conversion, he chose to name his church the 180 Church. Rep. Brandon Gill: Mid-term election is mainstream vs. extreme Appearing at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas on September 10th, Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas explained what is at stake in the upcoming November 3rd election. GILL: “This election is very clear. It's the mainstream versus the extreme, because there's another political movement in our country right now that doesn't believe that America is or ever was great. (audience boos) “They sometimes call themselves socialists. Some even call themselves communists. But most of them simply go by Democrats. They're the ones who will tell you that your love for America is nothing but bigotry, that our heritage is rooted in white supremacy, and that your Christian faith is patriarchal and needs to be dismantled.” Trump promised $5,000 'dividend' for Americans if GOP wins midterms President Donald Trump opened his remarks at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas with this comment. TRUMP: “The Democrats are getting nervous. They said, ‘If we did a midterm convention, nobody would show up.' This place is packed.” He made news for promising a financially irresponsible giveaway if Republicans retain the House and the Senate, reported CNBC News. Listen. TRUMP: “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776.” If the Republicans retain the House and the Senate, and President Trump makes good on that promised Treasury giveaway, it would add a whopping $1.3 trillion directly to the national debt, which already sits at $40 trillion. Sen. Fetterman will switch parties post election if GOP lose Senate And finally, appearing on "The Journal Editorial Report" on Fox News, Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen explained what needs to happen for the Democrats to win the U.S. Senate. SCHOEN: “If Trump stays below 40 [percent], and the election is a referendum on him, that will work to the Democrats' advantage because the Democrats need a ‘wave election' for them to win the Senate. If it isn't a ‘wave election,' I don't think they do.” There are six states where the race for the U.S. Senate is a toss-up including Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas.  For Democrats to take back the Senate, they need to pick up four of those six senate seats. Paul Gigot, the Fox host, asked why Democrats are going after Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a defender of Israel and who defended Trump at the Midterm Convention, reports RealClearPolitics.com. GIGOT:  “So, let's talk about Fetterman. Why are Democrats going after Fetterman?” SCHOEN: “Because they are scared of two things. One, Fetterman attacking them. Second, Fetterman leaving them. And the third, Fetterman represents a brand of politics that I support, which is moderate, Democratic incrementalism and strong support for Israel and a strong American foreign policy. That is now off the table for my party. The world of Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council is gone.” The Democratic Leadership Council was a centrist group that was active from 1985 to 2011. It argued that the United States Democratic Party should shift away from the leftward turn it had taken since the late 1960s. One of its main purposes was to win back white, middle-class voters with ideas that addressed their concerns. The Democratic Leadership Council hailed the election and re-election of Bill Clinton as proof of their worldview. GIGOT: “Are you saying that it is now impossible for somebody to be vocally pro-Israel in the Democratic Party in a prominent role?” SCHOEN: “In an unabashed way, I'm saying yes. Look at Chuck Schumer. He has been far more outspoken about change in Jerusalem than in Tehran.” Then, Paul Gigot asked about Fetterman's long-term prospect in the Democratic Party which elicited a fascinating response from Doug Schoen. GIGOT:  “Briefly, can Fetterman win a Democratic primary in 2028?” SCHOEN:  “No, he cannot. He knows that. Democrats know that. That's why I think him going to do that cameo at the convention is a “crossing the Rubicon” for him, meaning that even if the Democrats win by one seat, my prediction would be [Fetterman] changes parties.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 14th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Joram Muzira Job returns to The Ugandan Boy Talk Show — and this time, a lot has changed.After 15 years of building a career in Uganda's fashion and modelling industry, the CEO & Creative Director of Joram Model Management took on one of his biggest challenges yet: becoming National Director of Miss Universe Uganda 2026 and building Uganda's inaugural edition from the ground up.In this candid conversation, Joram takes us behind the glamour to talk about what it really took to bring Miss Universe to Uganda — the investment, pressure, criticism, brand partnerships, leadership challenges and lessons that came with building something for the first time.We also discuss the crowning of Mitchelle Daka as Miss Universe Uganda 2026, what it takes to prepare a Ugandan contestant for the international stage, the vision behind “Beyond the Crown,” and why pageantry should create opportunities that last long after the competition ends.Joram also reflects on 15 years of Joram Model Management, discovering Ugandan models, creating international opportunities, the business of fashion in Uganda, dealing with criticism and what he hopes his contribution to Uganda's creative industry will ultimately become.

“This is Africa. We do things differently here.” Join Ian & Liam for our 345th episode as we head to 1970s Uganda for Kevin Macdonald's The Last King of Scotland (2006), a film that puts us terrifyingly close to Idi Amin through the eyes of a fictional young Scottish doctor who discovers that getting into the dictator's inner circle is considerably easier than getting back out. Megs isn't with us this week — Amin has appointed her Minister of Something He Just Invented and she's sensibly keeping her head down. Kev? He mentioned that he disagreed with the President once and, well... nobody seems entirely sure where Kev is now. This week we discuss: Forest Whitaker's extraordinary, Oscar-winning Idi Amin — charming, funny, frightening and capable of changing the temperature of a room in seconds. Is this one of the great performances of the 21st century? James McAvoy's Nicholas Garrigan — naïve, arrogant, selfish and frequently infuriating. How important is it that the fictional character through whom we experience this story isn't particularly likeable? Fact versus fiction — Garrigan never existed, but Amin certainly did. Does inserting a fictional white protagonist give audiences an effective route into Ugandan history, or unnecessarily place him at the centre of somebody else's tragedy? Ian breaks down the film's construction of Amin — how does the film make us understand his charisma without ever asking us to excuse what lies beneath it? Liam explores the seduction of proximity to power — Garrigan sees the warning signs remarkably early, so why does he keep finding reasons to stay? How much did we actually know about Idi Amin and Uganda before watching the film? We explore the history behind the story and how closely the broad trajectory of Amin's dictatorship matches what we're shown. The tonal transformation — the first act occasionally feels like an exciting adventure for a young doctor abroad. How effectively does the film tighten the screws until that same world becomes absolutely terrifying? Amin the man versus Amin the monster — are the moments of humour, insecurity, paranoia and apparent warmth what make Whitaker's portrayal so frightening? Garrigan's decisions — there's being naïve, there's making mistakes, and then there's Nicholas Garrigan. At what point did we stop sympathising with him and start shouting at the screen? The women in Garrigan's story — does the film recognise the consequences of his behaviour toward them, or are they too often used to propel his journey? The violence — much of the film holds back before suddenly refusing to do so. Does that restraint make the moments when Macdonald finally shows us the horror even more effective? The final act — The Last King of Scotland eventually becomes almost unbearably tense. Does turning historical atrocity into thriller mechanics enhance the film's impact or risk trivialising the reality behind it? And finally, whether The Last King of Scotland is the Best Film Ever — or a deeply uncomfortable historical drama elevated by one absolutely towering central performance.

Jane Asinde joins The Ugandan Boy Talk Show for a candid conversation about basketball, sacrifice, leadership, life away from home, and building a future beyond the game. From leaving Uganda to pursue college basketball in the United States to becoming a professional player and captain of Uganda's women's national basketball team, the Gazelles, Jane opens up about the journey behind the achievements.We talk about adjusting to life in America, the transition from college to professional basketball, representing Uganda on the international stage, winning a championship, and the responsibility that comes with leading the Gazelles.But Jane's story goes beyond basketball. She also shares why she has started building businesses while still playing, including AJ35 Laundry & Cleaning Services and JM Sports, and why athletes need to think about life after their playing careers.This is a conversation about ambition, discipline, sacrifice, and what it really takes to pursue a professional sports career as a Ugandan athlete.

Sometimes following God means saying yes before you understand where He is leading.In this inspiring conversation on Road to Redemption, John Martin sits down with Mark Mbayo, a Ugandan entrepreneur, ministry leader, and co-founder of Bold Creators, to share a story of faith, obedience, surrender, and purpose.Mark grew up in a small fishing village in Kampala, Uganda. Through a sponsorship program, he was able to attend school from kindergarten through medical school, eventually earning a degree in medical laboratory technology.As Mark began working in healthcare, he saw firsthand how difficult it was for people in rural communities to access quality medical care. Combining his medical background with a lifelong passion for business, he helped establish clinics that could sustainably serve people with very limited incomes.His diligence eventually took him from working as a lab assistant to becoming an assistant to the medical director.Then God asked him to surrender it.At the height of his career, Mark felt God calling him to resign from his job—even though it was his primary source of income and he was preparing to get married.It didn't make sense.But Mark chose obedience.Then came an even harder surrender. Mark believed God was asking him to give up his financial interest in the clinics he had helped establish.Again, he said yes.Those seasons taught Mark an important lesson:Sometimes God asks us to release what He has given us so we can discover what He ultimately created us to do.That journey eventually connected Mark with Ben Clark and helped lead to the creation of Bold Creators, a community focused on helping Christian entrepreneurs grow in faith, business, family, and community.Through mentorship and biblical principles for business, Bold Creators connects American and Ugandan entrepreneurs and encourages business owners to think beyond personal profit.The goal is redemptive entrepreneurship—building businesses that create jobs, strengthen families, support ministries, and transform communities.Mark shares that the program has already worked with 127 people and helped create more than 100 jobs through its network.But underneath everything Mark has accomplished is a much simpler message:Don't leave God when life gets difficult.Hard seasons don't necessarily mean God has forgotten you.Sometimes they are preparing you for what comes next.Mark encourages listeners to:Stay anchored in God when circumstances don't make sense.Be willing to surrender what God asks you to release.Trust that no situation is too difficult for Him.Build businesses and careers that serve others.Use your gifts to strengthen your community.And remember that your past does not put you beyond God's love or forgiveness.You may not understand what God is asking you to surrender today.But your obedience could be preparing the way for a purpose greater than anything you originally planned.What might God be asking you to trust Him with today?Connect with Mark Mbayo & Bold Creators:

Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)

Rick Morton sits down with Pastor Rafael Kajjubi of King Jesus Church in Busega, Uganda, a longtime friend and ministry partner of Lifeline Children's Services. Rafael shares his story of growing up in the aftermath of civil war and the AIDS crisis, his early exposure to the prosperity gospel, and the years of searching, from Dubai to London to the United States, that led him back home with a conviction to build something real.That conviction took root in Busega, a forgotten community on the edge of Kampala, where Rafael and King Jesus Church began reaching children who were deaf and had been cast aside by their families and culture. What started as a school for four children grew into a thriving church and community, built through an unlikely partnership with Lifeline's founder, Herbie Newell, who asked Rafael one simple question that changed everything.This conversation is a picture of what it looks like when a local church and an outside partner walk together with humility, patience, and a shared commitment to the gospel.Learn more about Lifeline Children's Services at lifelinechild.org.

What does it take to believe in an idea before everyone else sees the vision?On this episode of The Ugandan Boy Talk Show, I sit down with marketing executive Elizabeth Mutamuliza for a conversation about her journey from starting her career in sales to becoming a respected leader in Uganda's marketing industry.Elizabeth opens up about resilience, leadership, career setbacks, building meaningful experiences, and the importance of taking chances on bold ideas.We also explore the remarkable story behind the Mt. Rwenzori Marathon—from believing in the vision in its early days to watching it grow into an internationally recognized running event.This conversation is about much more than marketing. It's about vision, resilience, leadership, and believing in something before the world catches up.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 82 points this morning from yesterday's close, at 46,104 on turnover of 10.5-billion N-T. MOFA warns on Uganda travel The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Ugandan immigration officers have withheld the passports of three Taiwan travelers and demanded that they produce Chinese passports, citing the country's "One China principle." According to the minister, three encountered the officers on arriving at Entebbe International Airport on Wednesday. They were eventually allowed to enter Uganda. However, the foreign ministry says immigration officers refused to return their Taiwan passports unless they produced passports issued by China in which entry stamps could be placed. Taiwan's representative office in Somaliland, which is responsible for affairs involving Uganda, and the Taiwanese business association in the country immediately provided assistance to the travelers. The foreign ministry is advising Taiwan nationals to carefully assess (評估) the necessity and potential risks of traveling to Uganda and to postpone planned visits for the time being. NKorea Threatens SelfDefense Amid US SKorean Drills North Korea has threatened to exercise its right to self-defense in a statement that slammed the upcoming U.S.-South Korean military drills as a war rehearsal. In a statement carried by state media Friday, North Korea's Foreign Ministry called the U.S.-South Korean training “a rehearsal for an aggressive war” that is triggering a different level of instability in the region. North Korea also said the drills would be of a “more serious provocative (挑釁的) nature and dangerousness than last year" and involve all the military assets and war-fighting modes of the U.S. and South Korea. The U.S. and South Korea have described the training's scope this year as similar to past years. They say the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises are meant to strengthen their alliance's capability and reiterate that the drills are defensive in nature. US CARRIER ROTATION AIMS TO SUSTAIN IRAN BLOCKADE 'INDEFINITELY' AS NAVY READINESS STRETCHED THIN US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims the American military can maintain its naval blockade on Iran indefinitely by rotating aircraft carriers in and out of the Strait of Hormuz. The carrier currently enforcing the blockade has been at sea for a record two hundred consecutive days, prompting growing concern among lawmakers in Washington about crew welfare. A replacement vessel is now on its way from the Pacific to relieve it — a move Washington hopes will undermine (破壞) any Iranian assumption that the deployment is unsustainable. James Gooderson, our reporter in Washington, says the carrier rotation is exposing the strain the war in Iran is placing on the US Navy's global posture, with the departure of a vessel from the Pacific leaving China with greater freedom to project power in the region. Vietnam Seizes Ivory Illegally Shipped from Africa Vietnamese authorities have seized a large shipment of ivory illegally shipped from Africa. The haul includes 221 pieces of elephant ivory weighing over 1,193 kilograms. It was displayed to the media on Wednesday in Gia Lai province. Vietnam is a major hub for the illicit wildlife trade, with much of the contraband transshipped (轉船 / 換船) to China. Inspections last week found the ivory hidden in sawn timber in a shipment from the Republic of the Congo. The illegal cargo also contained animal bones often used in traditional medicine. A criminal investigation has been launched. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Following the Supreme Court's disappointing ruling that upheld birthright citizenship, President Trump is taking a new approach by signing an executive banning birth tourism. Speaking of immigration fraud, Department of Labor Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito is now going after visa fraudsters, and he's bringing the show on the road. Things are not going great for Amy Klobuchar (D) and her campaign for Minnesota's governorship, as a crowd refused to fall for her claim that she's been tough on the border. A clip of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) resurfaces showing his Ugandan accent. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-Texas) wrongfully accused Ken Paxton of voter fraud. But as it turns out, it was Talarico himself who allegedly committed voter fraud by using his parents' address to vote. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) lost his primary to a democratic socialist candidate, so we had to commemorate his most cringe moments.

Americans are ripped off in the billions annually through romance “pig-butchering” scams—the most dominant type. But who's really behind them?The shocking reality is the vast majority of these scammers are trafficked victims, enslaved across more than 60 countries and forced to scam or face torture.“You're working 17-hour days. You're catatonic. You're not getting sleep. You start to doze. They‘ll electrocute you, and if you refuse to scam, they'll torture you,” said Timothy Blackwood, an award-winning Canadian-American film director.His film “Scam Slave: From Hell to Home” follows a Ugandan man promised a high-paying job in Thailand, only to be kidnapped by a Myanmar-based crime syndicate.“There's all different types of scams going on there. There's villas, there's strip clubs, there's clinics to support the staff that are managing and running these compounds,” Blackwood says.These scam centers in Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar generate billions that fund even more advanced operations.“It's not simply in the horrific statistics of how many billions of dollars are being scammed from Americans annually, but the human cost to people's lives.”In this episode, I dive into how these operations stay hidden and what can actually be done to stop them.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the nation's experience during COVID was quite horrendous and covering up for the Communist Chinese Wuhan lab—along with the U.S. government funding provided to it— was unacceptable. Sen Tom Cotton first raised the possibility of a lab origin. On Life, Liberty & Levin, Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer who had written a long piece on the subject; as a serious writer from a liberal newspaper who was retired yet deeply concerned about the reporting, Wade's appearance on May 23, 2021, helped push the issue into the national mindset, giving him his first national platform. China has still not provided access to the relevant data. The claim that the virus jumped from bats to humans was always unconvincing. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right today and refused to answer questions before a congressional committee, citing advice from his attorneys. Sen Rand Paul denied the privilege claim, directed Fauci to answer given the existence of a broad pardon, and warned of potential action for obstructing a congressional investigation. But the situation is not clear-cut. This matter may ultimately reach the courts or Supreme Court after a contempt resolution. Afterward, the concept of reparations is preposterous and a deliberate effort by Democrats and the hardcore left to divide Americans. The Civil War ended slavery 161 years ago, that many current residents have no connection to it, and that New York fought for the Union rather than being a slave city.  It's disgusting for Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized Ugandan immigrant, to lecture Americans on our history and claim New York was “very complicit,” while ignoring Uganda's own brutal history under Idi Amin. Later, the Woke Reich isolationists celebrate the president when he scales back military action and enters into negotiations with the enemy but are either silent or lash out against MAGA conservatives who support the president's military action against Iran -- carefully avoiding criticism of the president, who is calling the shots. They do this even though it is crystal clear that negotiations are not working, that the enemy has never honored any deals during its 47-year reign of terror (including recent ceasefires and the MOU), and that the regime's Islamist ideology would, in fact, result in it using nuclear weapons against us (as the president has correctly noted repeatedly). What the Woke Reich isolationists have never explained is what their approach would have been?  Apart from slogans and name-calling, what would they have done? It seems they would have done nothing, meaning that the enemy would have finished developing nuclear weapons, and apparently, they're okay with that despite the enormous risk to our country and humanity generally. Furthermore, while most of them claim to support the president, obviously they oppose him having launched military operations against the Iranian regime. They are not supporting the president.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

South Africa has announced plans to expand its strategic oil reserve for the first time since the apartheid era. this is in its response to the global supply shocks. The proposal aims to reserve approximately 36 million barrels, comprising 70% crude oil and 30% refined petroleum products, to meet 60 days of National demand.

What happens when a deep-seated thirst for childhood revenge turns into a career in genetic engineering? You get an absolute badass who is plotting the ultimate downfall of the world's deadliest killer. Krystal is a Ugandan entomologist (aka a massive bug nerd) who has dedicated her life to taking down the mosquito. Growing up in Uganda, surviving malaria was basically a terrifying game of Russian roulette. Crystal shares the raw, heart-wrenching origin story that fueled her career: watching her little brother suffer through brutal, fever-induced seizures all night while her family simply couldn't afford the medication to treat him. Crystal completely schools Jeremie and Brian on what malaria actually does to the human body - and it is no joke. We're talking brain damage from cerebral malaria, "black water fever" (where your urine turns black from liver damage), and even gangrene that leads to amputations. We also dig into the wild fact that out of the 3,500 species of mosquitoes on Earth, only about four are the real assholes responsible for the vast majority of malaria transmission in Africa. This episode is a massive reality check about the devastating barriers to healthcare in the developing world, the literal life-saving impact of the Global Fund, and the badass science that might just eradicate this disease for good.

Alan Skorski sat down for an interview with former IDF General and paratroop commander, Matan Vilnai, who along with Muki Betser and Yonaton Netanyahu, led Israel's elite unit, the Sayeret Matkal, to perform the greatest military rescue of hostages in history. On June 27th 1976, a French airliner was hijacked en route from Israel to France. After stopping in Athens, the airliner was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and West German terrorists, then flown to Entebbe, Uganda, following a brief stopover in Libya. The hijackers demanded the release of 53 terrorists imprisoned in Israel, Kenya, and West Germany. In response, following failed attempts to get the hostages released through diplomatic channels, on July 3, Israel dispatched four Hercules cargo planes carrying over 100 soldiers, and escorted by Phantom jet fighters. While the planes were dispatched on July 3, the mission wasn't officially approved by the Knesset until they were in the air for 2.5 hours of a 7 hour flight. The mission itself took place on July 4. After flying roughly 2,500 miles from Israel to Uganda, the Israeli forces rescued the hostages within an hour after landing. During this historic rescue, 3 hostages were killed in the crossfire, and another hostage, Dora Bloch, was murdered by Ugandan troops while in a Ugandan hospital. The operation, initially code-named Operation Thunderbolt, was later renamed Operation Yonatan, after it's leader Yonatan Nentayahu was killed during the rescue. During the interview Skorski asked General Vilnai questions like where he was when news broke of the hijacking, what thoughts went through the minds of him and his colleagues about the potential of a successful rescue mission, and what his feelings are now, 50 years later. Listen to the interview for the real inside story of how the entire operation unfolded from beginning to end, and whom General Vilnai credits for the success of the mission, and what was the most important lesson learned from Entebbe. Note: General Vilnai is featured on the far right of the ramp by the Black Mercedes as they rolled the car back out onto the tarmac upon their safe return to Israel.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – As I say, "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution." And NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Independence Day speech (and the attempted cleanup tweet) is further proof of the axiom. The Ugandan-born communist could not help himself but dump on America, divide Americans, and claim only immigrants can save America from its racisty bigoted population.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

In this episode I sit down with my friend James Harrington, founder of the Ugandan Water Project, for a conversation that's way more about your business than you'd guess from the title. We dig into the art of storytelling that actually moves people to act, why the most relatable character in any story is rarely the obvious one, and how to figure out where excellence really pays off. It's part craft, part business strategy, and part permission slip to stop doing everything perfectly. Key Takeaways The obvious character (the founder, the hero) is often the least relatable—look for the Monica or the Peggy who your audience actually sees themselves in Visuals that carry the message without sound, and a willingness to disrupt the typical setup, are what make stories stick "Big picture excellence is knowing where to invest your excellence"—not doing everything to a perfect ten Protecting creative margin and downtime isn't a luxury; it's how you stay present, curious, and able to do your best work About James Harrington Passion, grit, and irreverence for the status quo - This unorthodox trio marks James Harrington's style, strategy, and tactics for mobilizing you to take on the impossible problems around you and transform your world. James is the founder of the Ugandan Water Project where he and his team leverage innovation and disruption to battle the water crisis in Uganda. Over the past 18 years, he has led his team to fund and implement more than 2,000 water projects serving more than 750,000 people. Additionally, they have launched AquaTrust - a water service enterprise; and his team is supporting the Ugandan Ministry of Water & environment to implement a cloud-based digital asset platform to manage all water sources serving 50 million Ugandans. Together, with the help of people just like you, James is leading efforts to ensure that all Ugandans have access to safe drinking water – Today, Tomorrow, and Forever.

In this two-part series for The Sunday Story, investigative reporter Shibani Mahtani dives into the previously hidden world of the global scam industry. And she follows the story of one Ugandan man, who traveled far from home for a job that was “too good to be true.” Listen to Part 2 here.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Fifteen years after ‘The Book of Mormon' made its Broadway debut, original cast members Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad once again took the stage as Mormon missionaries — this time at the 2026 Tony Awards. Created and written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the duo behind ‘South Park'), along with veteran Broadway composer Robert Lopez, ‘The Book of Mormon' follows two young missionaries sent to try and bring Mormonism to a Ugandan village. The musical is a satirical — sometimes affectionate, sometimes offensive — look at Mormonism and youthful naïveté. Rannells and Gad spoke with Terry Gross about their first impressions of the show, mishaps onstage, and regretting their decision to leave when they did. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
