Podcast appearances and mentions of virginia democrats

American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg dissect the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, note the arrest of a "Dreamer" for the UFC terror plot just as Michelle Obama was extolling the Dreamer program, the deliciously bitter infighting among Virginia Democrats, and Mr. Scalia's latest book.First, they dig into the memorandum of understanding with Iran and react to arguments opposing and supporting it. Chris and Greg share their concerns over the vagueness of the language on the nuclear matters, the money poised to flow into Iran, what's next in the Straits of Hormuz, and why this agreement or a more formal deal is unlikely to hold.Next, they contrast Michelle Obama praising her husband's DACA or "Dreamer" program granting legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought here as minors with the news that a "Dreamer" was just arrested for allegedly leading a terrorist plot against the UFC event at the White House. Chris also shares his thoughts on the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.Then, Chris and Greg pop the popcorn as top Democrats in Virginia are fighting with each other over several major issues and making it clear how much they don't like each other. But Chris warns there could be a major downside for conservatives from this dysfunction on the left.Finally, Chris tells us about his latest book 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven't Read) and how conservative ideas and characters are found in popular literature.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

It's Tuesday, June 2nd, 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 and Timothy Reed 92% of Australians say it's risky to affirm Christian beliefs publicly  The first Australian Christian Freedom Index was released at the Australian Parliament last week.  The Index produced a national survey of more than 10,000 Australian Christians concerning their views on faith and freedom in their country. A full 92% of respondents in the survey felt it is riskier to affirm Christian beliefs publicly today than it was five years ago.  And, of the 74 Acts of Parliament produced that negatively affect Christian freedom, nearly half were issued in the last five years.  Thus far, 40 Christians have been penalized for their beliefs by fines or imprisonment.  Chinese Communists sentenced 31 Christians to prison In related news, persecution against Christians is on the rise in China as well.  China Aid reports that a communist court in Hubei Province has sentenced 31 members of a house church fellowship for trumped up charges, to 2-4 years in prison. A 77-year old Christian leader, named Yang Zhijing, was sentenced to three years and two months in prison, and was fined $1,180 under the charge of being involved in a cult. His defense argued that he only advocated basic Christian teachings, that “faith in Jesus leads to Heaven” and that “everyone is sinful and must confess and repent.” The defense argued these were central doctrines in orthodox Christianity. In 2 Timothy 3:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” U.S. military killed 3 narco-terrorists in Pacific Ocean The United States is back to striking drug boats in the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. Southern Military Command announced that it struck a narco boat in the eastern Pacific, killing three over the weekend.  Plus, the U.S. military struck several boats earlier last week. The death toll has risen to 205 for suspected narco-terrorists trying to traffic drugs into the United States by water.  100,000 Canadians have been killed by euthanasia Canada's euthanasia deaths have soared past 100,000 since legalization in 2016. A tragic new report records 17,000 killings in 2025, up from 16,500 in 2024 and 7,500 in 2020. Add this to 104,000 abortions in the country. That makes up 40% of the total deaths in Canada in a given year.  Listen to Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Director's Alex Schadenburg's comments on euthanasia at a committee hearing in Canada's parliament.  SCHADENBURG: “Canada is increasingly seen internationally as a cautionary example. The rapid growth of euthanasia deaths and the expansion of the types of cases are being closely watched abroad. … “More broadly, Canada's assisted dying law is vague. While Health Canada provides guidance, the legal framework allows for wide interpretation and lacks effective oversight.” Stocks inflated now like 2001 dot-com bust & 2009 real estate bust The S&P 500 Technology Sector stock metric gained 36% in two months. That's the biggest jump in 36 years. And the NASDAQ Composite took a 23% leap over the same time period.  Artificial Intelligence is driving much of the growth, according to some experts.  Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Price-to-Earnings Ratio reached 33. That's the same territory the ratio exceeded in the 2001 dot-com bust and 2009 real estate bust. America's twelve most highly capitalized companies have reached a worth of $30 trillion which is five times what they were worth six years ago. By contrast, income for these companies increased by only 2.5-fold.  The Buffett Indicator, which takes the total stock market funding as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, has reached 232%. That's twice what it was before the 2009 real estate bust, and four times what it was just after the bust. Virginia Democrats want constitutional right to kill baby at birth The state of Virginia is looking to legalize abortion up until birth with a proposed constitutional amendment.  A Roman Catholic Bishop, Michael Francis Burbidge, spoke out against the proposed amendment. He said, “This may be the only election in our lifetime where you hear me, or the Church, speak directly on how to approach the ballot box. God Himself knitted us together in our mother's womb, and our Lord Himself instituted the sacrament of marriage.” Indeed, in Psalm 139:13, David told God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.” Nevada and Missouri have abortion on the ballot The states of Nevada and Missouri are also planning referendums on abortion in the 2026 mid-term elections. Thus far, 16 states have run referendums on abortion since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Only South Dakota preserved a trigger ban on abortion. Nebraska allowed for 12-week abortions, and Florida allows for 6-week abortions. Pro-abortion majorities voted to keep abortion legal in Arizona, Colorado, California, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Nevada, New York, and Vermont. Planned Parenthood has $2 billion in annual income And finally, Planned Parenthood is raking in the dollars. The largest abortion provider in America has released its latest annual report, recording $2.14 billion in annual income -- up from $1.29 billion in 2014-2015, and $1.64 billion in 2019-2020 prior to the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Psalm 37:35-36 speaks of powerful evil forces. ”When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more. Indeed, I sought him, but he could not be found.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss former First Lady Jill Biden lying to us yet again about Joe Biden's condition in 2024, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing allegations of flouting election laws, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns.First, Jim and Greg hammer Jill Biden after her CBS News interview in which she claimed she thought President Joe Biden was having a stroke during his 2024 debate against President Trump. She also insisted she had never seen Biden in that condition before or after that night. Jim and Greg call out her lies as Mrs. Biden pushes her new book.Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.Then, they react to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass holding a campaign event next to a ballot drop box while supporters submitted ballots during the event. Challenger Spencer Pratt has filed a complaint alleging Bass violated election laws. Jim and Greg explain why ballot drop boxes are a horrible idea and how candidates just don't seem to care if they are breaking election laws.Finally, they have fun noting several Virginia Democrats are quietly ending their congressional campaigns now that this year's elections will be held under the existing congressional map and not the egregiously gerrymandered map struck down earlier this month by the Virginia Supreme Court.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday.

Kathy Hochul's failed attempt to dunk on President Trump, a Democrat with ties to Al Qaeda running for Congress, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns.First, Jim and Greg hammer Jill Biden after her CBS News interview in which she claimed she thought President Joe Biden was having a stroke during his 2024 debate against President Trump. She also insisted she had never seen Biden in that condition before or after that night. Jim and Greg call out her lies as Mrs. Biden pushes her new book.Next, they laugh as Gov. Hochul gets embarrassed by her attempt to get in a petty jab at President Trump over the New York Knicks. Trump said he was excited to see the Knicks back in the NBA Finals and calls himself a lifelong fan of the team. Hochul tried to challenge that assertion and it backfired big time. Jim and Greg have a lot of fun correcting the record.Then, they spotlight New Jersey congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, a Democrat who reportedly interned for the “charitable” arm of Al Qaeda during the 1990s. Jim and Greg react to the controversy and wonder whether Democratic Party standards have fallen so low that they'll even vote for this guy.Finally, they have fun noting several Virginia Democrats are quietly ending their congressional campaigns now that this year's elections will be held under the existing congressional map and not the egregiously gerrymandered map struck down earlier this month by the Virginia Supreme Court.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday.

After the White House's move last year to kill Direct File, three senators are asking the congressional watchdog to examine the alternative program the Trump administration is pushing: the IRS's beleaguered Free File system. In a letter sent Sunday to acting Comptroller General Orice Williams Brown, Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Angus King, I-Maine, and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., requested a Government Accountability Office investigation into Free File, an IRS partnership with private tax prep companies. The partnership has been heavily scrutinized over the course of Free File's 20-plus-year existence, with critics pointing to scant consumer use, hidden industry costs and data privacy issues. “Due to this history of misconduct, we have serious concerns that Free File cannot efficiently, effectively, and securely serve the taxpayers who are statutorily entitled to free tax filing services,” the lawmakers wrote. Direct File, the IRS's consumer-praised free electronic filing tool, was launched in the aftermath of an April 2022 GAO report that recommended the tax agency develop new no-cost filing options. Under the Biden administration, the IRS launched a pilot program of Direct File in a dozen states in 2023, and doubled the number of participants the following year. The Trump administration quickly terminated the program, however, pointing to high costs and low user uptake during the purposefully limited pilot seasons. Federal agencies would be required to develop artificial intelligence standards and use the National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI guidelines under a bipartisan bill introduced Thursday. Led by Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., the bill would require agencies to use the Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework, developed by the NIST in 2023, and work with the agency in developing other consistent standards and guidelines. Reps. Zach Nunn, an Iowa Republican, and Don Beyer, a Virginia Democrat, co-sponsored the bill, with Beyer calling it “a natural starting point” to ensure agencies have the tools they need to navigate AI's complexities. “This bill lays the foundation for harnessing the power of AI for the benefit of the American people, while upholding the highest standards of accountability and transparency,” Beyer said in a statement. The bill would also direct NIST to recommend training and use the standards when acquiring any AI systems or services.

It's Monday, May 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 Daughter of imprisoned Chinese pastor urges his release Before he left for the Chinese-American summit in Beijing, President Donald Trump said that he would advocate for the release of Pastor Ezra Jin of the underground Zion Church who was arrested in October 2025 during a massive Communist crackdown against the body of Christ. In a recent interview on Fox News Channel, Grace Drexel, his daughter, who emigrated to America several years ago, spoke about her father's church. DREXEL: “My father's church was one of the largest independent churches in China, and for that reason they came after my father. The charge against them was the illegal use of information networks, because he was hosting his services, both online and offline, having smaller groups meet together.” She described Pastor Jin's character. DREXEL: “My father is a pastor in China, and, like Christians everywhere, he believed that the church should only have one God and serve one God. He led his church in order to be faithful to Scripture and faithful to his beliefs. “Ultimately, I know my father as just a very gentle and kind man. He is not very confrontational.  This kind and gentle man is now in prison. They handcuffed him and shaved his hair, and is not getting his medication that he needs -- all because he was just leading a church.” Grace was counting on U.S. President Trump to negotiate her father's release from his unjust imprisonment with Chinese President Xi Jinping. DREXEL: “We hope that, as the two leaders are meeting together, that they will both have a softening of the hearts and will release my father and allow him to come to the U.S.” According to President Trump, President Jinping was “going to strongly consider the pastor,” reports The Hill.com. Grace Drexel, Pastor Jin's daughter, advocated for the release of hundreds of other pastors who have also been unfairly imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ. DREXEL: “We see that this is not an isolated case. There are so many pastors and church leaders and churches being persecuted in China actively today. In fact, we know that there are hundreds of pastors that are currently in prison, or are in detention, or have recently, very recently, been released. This is a very critical period in China, and it's very disheartening and very scary for many Christians in China.” Send a polite, 2-sentence letter urging Pastor Ezra Jin's release to Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008. Church of Scotland sees surge of converts amid “deep spiritual hunger” The Church of Scotland in the United Kingdom has seen a surge of converts since the COVID-19 pandemic amid what one clergyman called "a deep spiritual hunger,” reports The Christian Post. In 2025, 820 people in the denomination affirmed faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, which is nearly double the 428 people who did so in 2021, according to official church figures. In a May 8th report, church leaders wrote, "We are seeing evidence of increased Bible engagement, renewed interest in spiritual questions, growing church attendance, and more young people and young adults coming to faith with confidence." Rev. David Cameron noted that 3,292 Scotts have professed faith in Christ between 2021 and 2025. He said, "I believe this growth reflects the fact that, even in uncertain times, there remains a deep spiritual hunger within our parishes." The new conversions come amid a wider decline in membership in the Church of Scotland, whose approximately 229,000 members recorded at the end of 2025 indicated a fall of 5% from 2024, primarily because of death. The Church of Scotland, which was established in the 16th century as a Reformed, Presbyterian denomination, differs from the Church of England in that it does not recognize the British monarch as its political head. Sadly, in 2016 the Scottish church rejetced clear Biblical teaching and allowed its clergy to enter into faux homosexual marriages and civil partnerships. Then, in May 2022, the Church of Scotland General Assembly voted in favor of permitting the church's clergy to conduct homosexual faux marriages, reported the BBC. Romans 1:26-27 says, “God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.” Supreme Court allows Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent by mail Here in the United States, on May 14th, the Supreme Court ruled to allow the Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent through the mail. It trumped the May 1st ruling by a federal appeals court in Louisiana which had barred the mailing of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which is the preferred murder method that 63% of mothers choose who wish to abort their children. To their credit, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both dissented. Alito contended that “[w]hat is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,” the court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Gov. DeSantis vs. House Minority Leader Jeffries on redistricting Ever since the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the unconstitutional redistricting in Virginia where Republicans would only be left with one of 11 Congressional seats, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been discouraging Florida Republican politicians from doing their own redistricting, reports The Hill.com. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis got a kick out Congressman Jeffries' rhetoric. DeSANTIS: “I heard this guy, Jeffries, popping off in Washington, about Florida. He wants to be Speaker of the House, and he's more liberal than [Nancy] Pelosi from New York City. We're going to go after Florida. Please be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign. I'll put you up in the Florida governor's mansion. We'll take you fishing. “There's nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Hakeem Jeffries everywhere around this state. Voters will not like what they see. They will not want that type of ideology. And so, the door is open. The invitation is out there. I don't think there would be anything better for the Republican Party of Florida, but to have Jeffries there. “Now, I kind of feel bad for the guy, because he's as left as they come. He's always going left, and yet the Far Left hates him. You know, they call him a ‘Dollar Store Obama.'” On May 15th, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal of Virginia Democrats to revive their lopsided redistricting plan, reports Politico.com. Missionary Sheldon Jackson felt compelled to share Gospel And finally, 192 years ago today, Sheldon Jackson was born in 1834.  He wanted to become a missionary overseas, but the Presbyterian board told the five-foot-tall Jackson, who had weak eyesight and was often ill, that he would be better suited for duty in the United States.  Jackson's first assignment was at the Choctaw mission in Oklahoma Territory, where he worked until poor health forced him to go back East in 1859. In the summer of 1869, Jackson went on a missionary tour using the railroad and stage lines, establishing a church a day. Jackson found his major life's work in the new territory of Alaska with 20,000 miles of coastline. In 1867, Secretary of State William Seward, during the administration of President Andrew Johnson, had negotiated the Alaska Purchase from Russia.   In 1877, Jackson began his work in Alaska. He became committed to the Christian, educational, and economic wellbeing of the Alaska Natives.  He famously said, “I must work the works of Him Who sent me while it is yet day,” adapting the command of John 9:4.  The Scripture says, “As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.” Ultimately, he travelled one million miles and established more than one hundred missions and churches, mostly in the Western United States.

The Supreme Court has ruled on Virginia Democrats' redistricting effort. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

After months as the main roadblock, it appears Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson is softening his position on redistricting. The recent Supreme Court decision weakening the Voting Rights Act and Maryland Governor Wes Moore notably leaving Ferguson off his list of political endorsements appear to be two big factors. WAMU's Maryland reporter Jenny Abamu gets behind the mic to tell us about what she's hearing from lawmakers about Maryland redistricting.Virginia Democrats are throwing a Hail Mary in hopes of saving their redistricting efforts. On Monday, they asked the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency injunction and for an order overturning the Virginia Supreme Court's decision to throw out redrawn congressional maps. We ask Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell where the last-ditch effort stands, what comes next, and why Democrats remain optimistic about the midterms.  Plus, we get the Virginia Democratic leader's thoughts on Governor Abigail Spanberger's veto of a collective bargaining bill.Homelessness is on the rise in the District, according to a new city report, with advocates blaming human services program cuts and the aggressive clearing of encampments. Some fear that further slashing proposed in this year's budget could lead to an even greater increase in homelessness. We ask Ward 3 D.C. Councilmember and chair of the Human Services Committee Matt Frumin what the council is doing to help city residents most at-risk. Plus, we talk with him about how his ward could decide the city's mayoral race and the deepening crisis in the Metropolitan Police Department.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

There are legal theories being discussed by Virginia Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries to overturn the state's supreme court ruling on redistricting.  One of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case that killed the Voting Rights Act was at the attack on the Capitol on January 6th.

Mary and Andrew recognize it's been a doozy of a week. Starting with the continued fallout from the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, they focus on how much the 6-3 ruling has opened the floodgates for other states like Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and Texas to pursue similar redistricting efforts. The Justices even allowed Alabama to move forward with re-drawing their congressional maps, despite prior determinations of intentional racial discrimination in the state. Mary and Andrew juxtapose this new landscape with last week's redistricting decision in Virginia, as Democrats submit an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court on that ruling. In addition, a Fulton County decision came in allowing the Justice Department to hold onto the 2020 ballots seized in the FBI's January raid. Plus, the co-hosts unpack the latest from Trump's retribution efforts as James Comey's criminal trial date is set. But in an uplifting end to a rough week, the pair highlight Senator Mark Kelly's argument before the DC Circuit in his case against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his participation in a video reminding military members of their duty not to obey unlawful orders.

As eighteen Americans are evacuated from a hantavirus-affected cruise ship and placed under observation at specialized facilities in the U.S., experts are evaluating the transmission risks associated with this specific outbreak. Three passengers have died following the outbreak, which originated on the MV Hondius after it departed Argentina. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain the science behind the Andes variant, a specific strain known for rare human-to-human transmission, and the history of the virus. As Democrats ramp up their push to redraw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, a pair of major court rulings are reshaping the fight over redistricting and political power. Virginia Democrats are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in after the state's highest court struck down a new congressional map, while another Supreme Court decision out of Louisiana is fueling a broader debate over race, representation, and voting rights. FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove joins the Rundown to discuss why both parties see these legal battles as critical to the road to the 2026 elections and what Democrats' next moves could look like.

It's Tuesday, May 12th, 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 and Timothy Reed Muslims severed hands of Christian convert Muslims are persecuting more Christians in Uganda, Africa even though Islamists make up only 13% of the population.    A Christian convert was subjected to the severing of both hands when his family found out about his attending Christian services.  Morning Star News reports that 40-year-old Kalegeya Faruku is still undergoing medical treatment from the ordeal that occurred at his family home in Jinja three weeks ago. Please, pray for the persecuted. North Korea will use nukes if Kim Jong Un is assassinated South Korea's National Intelligence Service has just disclosed North Korea's change in policy on the use of nuclear weapons.   As of March 22nd, the North Korean government revised its constitution to command a nuclear strike if the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un, is assassinated, reports the New York Post. The policy change came after Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by a military strike on February 28, 2026. Big shake-up in the United Kingdom parliament The Reform UK Party made major gains in last week's regional elections in the United Kingdom.  Even though it was not a national election, the Reform Party came out with 30% of the seats while the Conservative Party represents 17%.  The remaining 53% are divvied up by the more left-wing parties:  22% for Labour, 18% for Liberal Democrats, and 12% for the Greens. The right turns more nationalist and populist. The left remains, well, I guess we can say -- left. For the record, the Labour Party lost 18%, and the Conservatives lost 7% in the political bloodbath. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the wins against both the Labour Party and establishment conservatives. Listen. FARAGE:  “This is a celebration! And what a remarkable couple of days this has been. We're seeing some truly historic shifts in voting patterns in parts of this country --  things, frankly, I could never have dreamt that we'd see. … “Getting elected to public office does carry a burden of responsibility, and that burden of responsibility is because people have placed their faith and their trust in you. And they've done it at a time when I don't think faith, belief and trust in our leaders and our politicians has ever been at a lower level in our country.” Let's all remember: “God is the judge: He puts down one, and sets up another.” (Psalm 75:7) Virginia Supreme Court overturns Democrat redistricting In a 4-3 ruling on May 8th, the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the state's new Congressional maps, which could have given Virginia Democrats ten seats, leaving the Republicans with only one in the U.S. Congress. Republican State Senator Ryan McDougle celebrated the decision, while also blasting Democrats for trying to go around the law. MCDOUGLE:  “You cannot violate the Constitution in order to change the constitution. The Supreme Court made that clear. Voters had a choice of what was on the ballot. Voters did not have a choice of whether the constitutional law was followed.” Virginia Democrats are planning to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is unclear if they will even get a hearing.  Value of gold and the price of an average home Back in 1971, when gold was $35 an ounce, you could pay for a median-priced home with 714 ounces of gold. Now that gold prices are hovering around $4,700 per ounce, a median-priced home would cost you about 85 ounces of gold. Does the number of mortgage lenders reveal troubled economy? Since 2022, employees working for non-bank mortgage lenders have dropped by 40%. That's the lowest level in recorded history, even lower than the 2009-2010 housing crash.  Wolfstreet.com reports that existing home sales have reached the lowest level since 1995. Democrat-run states are in worst financial condition American state governments are facing serious budget shortfalls. . . driving up their spending power per gross state income ratios. Nine of the 10 states in the worst financial condition are Democrat-run states -- the worst of which are California, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and New York.  Scammers swindled $16 billion from Americans in 2025 And finally, here's a helpful update for you on financial scams. The U.S. scamming “industry” hit $16 billion last year, up 22% compared to the previous year.  That's four times the value of property stolen in burglaries. Be informed. Protect your family from this criminal activity. The most common scams include the “advanced fee” scam where you're promised some kind of benefit -- a government grant, an inheritance, or some prize with a catch. They ask for a payment up front before you can receive your benefit.  Or there is the “tech support” scam.  You receive a call or a message online from what appears to be a company like Microsoft or some anti-virus company. They tell you they can fix the problem for a fee lest you lose all your data. Some scams will phish for your data, asking for your Social Security number, credit card number, bank account info, or passwords. Whatever you do, do not give out that data, even if they claim to be from a trusted source, Emergency scams or grandparent scams. The voice pretends to be a grandchild or close relative with a problem.  . . They may use a familiar phone number on the caller ID, and drop some information they found about the person on the internet. Remember, caller IDs can be easily faked. Just ask a few questions. They will ask for money. Don't give it to them, without asking a few questions to confirm the identity first. Then there are the IRS and FBI scammers, the toll road scammers, the foreign money exchange scammers, the counterfeit cashier's check scam, and banking scams.  Customers are told to move their money to a safer account. Scammers are almost always working on emotions, getting you frazzled, so you will make a quick and imprudent decision. Micah 6:10-12 speaks of this: “Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked and the short measure that is an abomination? Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales, and with the bag of deceitful weights?  For her, rich men are full of violence. Her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to redistrict its congressional maps, as Southern states continue to comply with the court's recent landmark Voting Rights Act decision. Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats have tossed up a Hail Mary legal appeal that will surely lose. Overall, Republicans are the big redistricting winners. But will it actually matter? On the international stage, President Trump prepares to embark on a high-stakes trip to China. There is a lot riding on this meeting, and Josh breaks down all you need to know—including the best way to really stick it to the Chinese and Iranians while the president meets Xi Jinping on foreign soil. Rep. Brad Knott (R-N.C.) also joins the program to discuss the congressional debate over reauthorization of FISA surveillance and the ever-thorny, long-standing question on which this debate ultimately hinges: What is the proper way to view the trade-off between liberty and security?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Virginia Democrats are reportedly considering a stunning political maneuver after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down their redistricting amendment in a 4-3 ruling. Todd breaks down the constitutional issues at the center of the case, why the court ruled the amendment process violated Virginia law, and the extraordinary proposal Democrats are allegedly floating to remove the entire state Supreme Court bench by lowering the mandatory retirement age for justices. Todd also compares what's happening in Virginia to recent redistricting battles in Indiana, Texas, and other states, explaining the constitutional authority legislatures possess and why consistency matters when evaluating these fights. This episode dives into political power, constitutional process, and the escalating cold civil war shaping America's future.

SCOTUS is allowing Alabama to revert to its 2023 Congressional maps which likely nets the GOP another seat in the House. Virginia Democrats are balking at the idea of wiping out their entire Supreme Court over the redistricting ruling. Trump is proposing to suspend the gas tax as an Iran deal appears to be in doubt. Rumors are swirling that Iran's leadership might be getting ready to flee to Russia.

Gavin Newsom's bad math and very expensive "free" diapers program.First, they dig into a New York Times report that top Democrats discussed lowering the mandatory age of retirement for the Virginia Supreme Court so they could remove all seven justices and appoint others who would approve the congressional map with a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage.Next, they applaud Erika Kirk's message to Hillsdale College graduates about why it's not only important to know about the American founding but to understand it and apply those principles to today's debates. They also discuss how she greatly outclasses the voices who are constantly denigrating her.Then they welcome a CBS News report that many asylum seekers are now giving up and planning to leave the U.S. Greg explains how asylum is granted on very narrow criteria. Craig says this increase in self-deportation is very revealing.Finally, California is is using nearly $20 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for diapers for as many as 100,000 newborns in the state.

On Friday, the Supreme Court of Virginia struck down a redistricting measure recently passed by voters that would have allowed the legislature to adopt a new congressional map designed to give Virginia Democrats a 10–1 advantage in the U.S. House. In a 4–3 decision, the court found that the process of putting the measure on the ballot violated the state constitution, affirming a county judge's ruling. The decision will keep the current map — under which Democrats have a 6–5 advantage — in place for the 2026 midterms, though state Democrats said they will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Well, there are a lot of people, "furious," "outraged" and "incensed" by the FBI raid against Senator Louise Lucas...but as "angry" as they might be... no one who knows Senator Locus is terribly surprised. The real question is what happens next, because she is the only Virginia Democrat being investigated...Share your thoughts with us about the podcast today!Complete the short survey here: https://form.fillout.com/t/f5gcmWuGoLus-----GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickjfreitas3.000:00:00 – FBI raid on Virginia Senator Louise Lucas00:01:04 – Steve Descano's lenient policies on illegal immigration00:04:03 – Nick's personal run-in with Louise Lucas rules00:07:53 – Recounting past controversies and the Norfolk riots00:11:30 – Investigating potential Medicaid grifts and business corruption00:16:24 – Documenting violent crimes ignored by Fairfax authorities00:23:04 – Why Virginia Democrats cannot pass a budget00:26:14 – Louise Lucas complains about Pornhub age verification00:30:56 – Exposing Democrat incompetence in governing the Commonwealth00:34:54 – Confronting student protestors and useful idiot narratives00:44:16 – Rebutting leftist narratives on the rule of law00:47:14 – Lessons learned from the Indiana primary victories00:51:43 – Final thoughts on fighting progressive woke ideology

Virginia Democrats thought they had this one in the bag — until the Supreme Court of Virginia hit the brakes. In a stunning one-sentence order, SCOVA refused to let Attorney General Jay Jones rush forward with certifying Virginia's controversial redistricting referendum, dealing a major blow to the Left's gerrymander power grab. And while the ruling […]

Ralph welcomes Professor Nicholas Chater, co-author of “It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems.” Then, as most of the media turns its attention to Iran, we return to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and welcome back Dr. Feroze Sidhwa to break down his three-part series published in Zeteo called “The Truth About Gaza's Dead.”Nick Chater is Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School. He has written and co-written more than two hundred research papers and six books, including It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems (co-written with George Loewenstein).I was on a UK government committee as the representative of behavioural science for six years, where my role was (at least I understood my role to be) coming up with smart-aleck ideas about what individual nudges or bits of useful information we could give to the public—how that would help people reduce their carbon emissions. And I came away from that experience extremely chastened. Because almost all the interesting issues were nothing to do whatsoever with individual behavior. They were all about big systemic changes… And the shock for me was realizing that the tools that I was hoping to wield were in fact completely ineffective.Nick ChaterI think it's absolutely true that many of the things that behavioral scientists are supposedly “discovering” [are] the things that campaigners and activists and indeed people in the political world generally and journalists intuitively have long known, and indeed probably have good evidence for. It's simply— it's sort of a sad process of trailing-along-behind which I think the academic world has been engaged in, where we've been slowly realizing that things that everybody else knew initially are actually true after all.Nick ChaterOne of the most powerful things that each of us has is the ability to propagate our own perspective and to campaign for change…I think getting people pulling together and pushing for change can be incredibly powerful. So seeing ourselves as citizens who are actively able to have our voice, make our voices heard, I think that's where the real power lies. And I think that the campaigners and political activists and so on have always known this. And of course, also, big businesses have always known this too. And they certainly don't want us to be doing too much of that. They want us to be focusing on quite the opposite. They want us to be focusing on our own gardens and not worrying about the big picture. They don't want organized opposition.Nick ChaterDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon who has worked in Palestine, Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. He most recently volunteered at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. He was blocked from entering Gaza by Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service in November 2025.In the first 25 days of the assault on Gaza, more children were killed than in the entire worst year of conflict that Airwars had ever studied previously, which was Syria in 2016. In the first 25 days in Gaza, between 2,200 and 2,600 children were killed in Gaza, compared to 1,900 in Syria. So again, if you adjust for the size of the population (because Syria is a much bigger country than Gaza is a territory), the rate of killing of children in Gaza was 71 to 142 times higher than it was in the worst year on record for children in conflict—Syria in 2016.Dr. Feroze SidhwaGaza is a place where infants freeze to death if they are not sheltered. Well, there are no sheltered infants in Gaza for any practical purposes. They're all unsheltered. So we have a list of the actual names of a dozen or two dozen children who have actually frozen to death…And there is shelter—ready-made mobile shelters for hundreds of thousands of people right outside of Gaza. It's in Egypt and it's in Jordan. The only thing that's stopping anybody from bringing it in is the US and Israel…This is just dastardly. We should think about it for a second—we (meaning Americans) [are] living in a country where neither political party seems to care that we are freezing infants to death.Dr. Feroze SidhwaRight now, the Israelis are blocking cough medicine from going into Gaza. And the reason (they say) is because it contains glycerin. Now, glycerin, in theory, can be used to make explosives. But it's one picogram or something—it's just part of a pill or the syrup that goes into it, right? This is children's cough medicine. The idea that Hamas or Islamic Jihad or anybody else in Gaza has the laboratory equipment and facilities that would be needed to extract the 0.01% of glycerin that's in a pill or a medical syrup to then make a bomb is beyond idiotic. Furthermore, we all know that there's (and I'm speaking literally) hundreds of tons of unexploded Israeli bombs—actually I should say unexploded US bombs—all over the Gaza Strip. That's where Hamas gets all of its explosives from. It just repurposes unexploded Israeli munitions. So all of this is just sheer nonsense.Dr. Feroze SidhwaNews 4/24/26* Our top stories this week have to do with people losing their jobs. First up, Apple CEO Tim Cook – the handpicked successor of Steve Jobs who has led the tech giant for the past 15 years – announced this week that he would transition away from the CEO role. While he will remain on as Executive Chairman, John Ternus, the company's head of hardware engineering, will take over at the helm, PBS reports. Cook's tenure at Apple has received mixed evaluations, with many applauding the steady handed executive for adding an estimated $3.6 trillion in market value to the company, while others have critiqued his supposed lack of innovation compared to his predecessor. Some hope his more technical-minded successor will put more emphasis on product development moving forward. Like many tech CEOs, Cook went to great lengths to ingratiate himself with President Trump in his second term, donating $1 million to his inaugural committee and gifting Trump a glass plaque set in 24-karat gold last August.* Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned this week amid “an internal investigation into her conduct,” which included “instructing staff to buy her bottles of sauvignon blanc on work trips… [stashing] liquor in her office, [encouraging] young female staffers to ‘pay attention' to her father and husband, [having] an affair with a member of her security detail, and [arranging] work travel to visit family and friends,” per Vox. For the time being, the Labor Department will be headed by Keith Sonderling, whom POLITICO calls a “quintessential Washington insider who is well-connected in the capital's Republican circles and his home state of Florida.” Sources quoted in this piece identify Sonderling as a key behind-the-scenes player in the administration whose accumulated influence “extends well beyond DOL.” The choice of Chavez-DeRemer, a former Congresswoman who was seen as perhaps the most labor-friendly Republican in the House, was supported at the time by Trump-aligned Teamster boss Sean O'Brien; her ouster therefore, represents the latest humiliating setback for his strategy of cozying up to Trump to win favorable treatment for his membership. In the words of a recent Current Affairs piece published before the downfall of Chavez-DeRemer, “Sean O'Brien Sold Labor to Trump, and Got Nothing.”* In the House, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her seat this week, just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to weigh punishment for the Congresswoman, whom the panel had previously found guilty of “a slew of ethics violations, including accusations that she stole millions in pandemic relief funds and used it to bolster her 2021 campaign,” according to CNN. Cherfilus-McCormick was one of the four Members of Congress included in the proposed bipartisan expulsion deal some weeks ago, along with Representatives Swalwell, Gonzales, and Mills. With the first two gone, a tremendous amount of pressure is sure to be exerted on Congressman Mills to resign as well. Prior to resigning, Cherfilus-McCormick was already facing a stiff primary challenge from young progressive Elijah Manley. Now, it seems her seat – representing hundreds of thousands in Broward and Palm Beach counties – could remain vacant until a new member is sworn in next January, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unlikely to call a special election before then.* Also in Congress, Axios reports Representative David Scott of Georgia, a powerful Black Georgia Democrat who served in the lower house for over 20 years, passed away this week at age 80. Scott, who rose to become the first Black chair of the key House Committee on Agriculture, had filed to run again in 2026 despite rumored resistance from his colleagues. His death leaves Georgia's 13th district without representation in the House and amounts to a stunning fourth death-based Democratic House vacancy in the past year. Like the ones that preceded it, this must be seen as a bright red warning signal to Democratic leadership.* In DC more broadly, the employment picture looks even worse. According to a new report in the Guardian, the combined purging of 300,000 jobs from the federal government – the piece notes this is the “region's largest employer” – by Elon Musk's absurd Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, with another 13,000 job cuts in the private sector, has left DC with the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 6.7%. With little sign of increased hiring in the public or private sectors, there is no indication this trend will reverse itself any time soon.* Elsewhere in the DMV, this week Virginia voters approved a referendum to amend the state constitution allowing Democrats to redraw the state's congressional districts in their favor. Currently, Virginia Democrats hold six districts to the Republicans' five; under the new map, Democrats are poised to hold 10 districts and the Republicans just one. This is the latest episode in the mid-decade redistricting fight begun last year, when Texas Republicans sought to redraw the Lone Star state's maps to be more favorable to the GOP. This set off a stampede of states seeking to redraw their district lines. Now, in light of the Virginia referendum passing, Florida is threatening to redraw their maps to the detriment of Democrats there. The Hill reports House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, taking a sharper tone than usual, responded to news of the Florida redistricting attempt with a statement reading “If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump's dummymander in Texas…[he vowed] maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”* In California, the downfall of Eric Swalwell has resulted in the unexpected rise of another candidate – former Congressman, California Attorney General, and Biden-era Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Between April 10th and April 22nd, Becerra surged from a polling average of under 4% to an average of 13% – and in some polls, even moved into first place. While Becerra seeks to consolidate this spike in support, progressives are airing long-held grievances. David Sirota, former Bernie Sanders campaign advisor and founder of the Lever, cited that publication's 2021 report on how “As California AG, [Becerra] demanded the HHS secretary use existing law to lower medicine prices - and then he became HHS secretary & literally refused to do that.” Others have pointed out that, according to Transparency USA, Becerra's campaign has received massive donations from the likes of Chevron. Progressive billionaire Tom Steyer on the other hand this week received the endorsement of Our Revolution, closely aligned with Bernie Sanders, which noted that “Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.”* In another case of politics making strange bedfellows, the Chicago Tribune reports the political arm of Planned Parenthood is making an endorsement in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García in Illinois 4th congressional district. Except, in this case, the reproductive rights group is not endorsing the Democrat in the race. Listeners may recall that Congressman García was sharply criticized for his maneuvering to ensure his chief of staff Patty García would be the Democratic nominee. This has forced other potential aspirants to run as independents. These include DSA-aligned Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-López and activist Mayra Macías – the latter of whom won the Planned Parenthood Action endorsement this week. The Tribune notes that Macías served on the board of Planned Parenthood Action until the beginning of this year. In a statement, Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson called Macías “a proven leader,” who “will be unrelenting in the fight to protect access to sexual and reproductive health care.”* Turning to international news, in South Africa, leftist politician and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party Julius Malema was sentenced to five years in prison this week for “firing a rifle in ⁠the air at a party rally,” Al Jazeera reports. Unsurprisingly, given that the EFF is the fourth largest political party in South Africa, this case has become a rallying cry for Malema's supporters, with those same supporters accusing the prosecution of being politically motivated. Presiding Magistrate Twanet Olivier disputes this, contending that it “is not a political party who has been convicted here … it is a person, an individual.” Malema's lawyers immediately applied for – and were granted – leave to appeal, but if these appeals fail Malema could be barred from serving as a Member of Parliament.* Finally, in more positive news from abroad, Reuters reports that the much-trumpeted summit of the global Left held in Barcelona this week – designed to help progressives rally their forces to defeat modern reactionary Right-wing nationalism characterized by figures like Trump – drew over 6,000 attendees from over 40 countries. Headline speakers included Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Brazilian President Lula, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Colombian President Gustavo Petro and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. From the United States, an ecclectic group addressed the summit, ranging from video messages of support from Hilary Clinton to Bernie Sanders to Zohran Mamdani, with an in-person address by Minnesota Governor and former Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz. A recurrent theme, hammered home by Isabel Allende, former Senate president ​of Chile and daughter of Salvador Allende, Chile's leftist president ousted in a U.S.-backed coup and replaced with the dictator Augusto Pinochet, was that the left has become too distant from the daily concerns of workers, stating in no uncertain terms that “It's unimaginable to fight against the right ‌if we can't ⁠get closer to ordinary people.”This has been Francesco DeSantis with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia voters approving Democrats' heavily gerrymandered congressional map, the Justice Department indicting the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on fraud charges, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy's controversial tweet about the Iran war, and the resignation of Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress.First, they wince as Virginia voters approve the Virginia Democrats' aggressively partisan congressional map. The fight now moves to court and will likely be decided soon. Jim says Tuesday's narrow margin shows just how unreasonable a 10-1 Democratic advantage would be for Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives.Next, they focus on the Justice Department's 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.Then they roll their eyes as Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy draws criticism for calling reports that 26 Iranian vessels got through the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “awesome.”Finally, they wave goodbye to Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.
