    It’s Tuesday, April 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Actor John Cleese speaks up against Nigerian Christian genocide TruthNigeria’s verified civilian deaths for Easter weekend stands at 55 people — a terrible tragedy for the nation. Nigeria remains, by far, the most deadly nation in the world for those who have received the Christian faith. John Cleese, the well-known “Monty Python" comic actor, expressed concern about the massacres of Christians in Nigeria. On the X platform, he wrote, “It looks rather as though Black Lives Don’t Matter.” Writing about [the Nigerian massacres], he said, “Could damage the image of the murderers who killed these poor people.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán defeated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán suffered a massive defeat in the elections on Sunday night. Orbán lost to opposition candidate Péter Magyar by a vote of 53% to 39%. Magyar’s party, the Respect and Freedom Party, is also on track to gain a supermajority in the Hungarian Parliament. Magyar broke from Orban’s party after multiple scandals surfaced, one of which involved a coverup for a pedophile. Daniel 2:21 speaks of the sovereignty of God over the nations. It says, “And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” Earlier this year, Hungarian prosecutors indicted the mayor of Budapest for organizing a homosexual pride event last June, attended by over 100,000 people. Gergely Karácsony defied a ban imposed by Viktor Orban’s government. United State to block Strait of Hormuz The United States is set to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, reports NBC News. This comes as an unsteady ceasefire has settled over the region and oil prices continue to rise. President Donald Trump told Fox News that the blockade would not affect talks with Iran. TRUMP: “They haven't left the bargaining table. I predict they come back and they give us everything we want. And I told my people, ‘I want everything. I don't want 90% I don't want 95%.’ I told them, ‘I want everything.’” Vice President Vance: Iran better not build a nuclear weapon Vice President J.D. Vance, who recently returned from peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to making sure Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. VANCE: “The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.” 60% of Americans view Israel unfavorably now American’s attitude towards the nation of Israel is shifting. A recent Pew Research survey found that the percentage of Americans viewing Israel unfavorably has increased from 42% in 2022 to 60% most recently. And that represents a 6% uptick from last year’s survey. Now, 41% of Republicans and 80% of Democrats view Israel unfavorably. And 70% of U.S. adults under age 50 have an unfavorable view of Israel as well, according to the survey. This may be due in part to the shrinkage of the white Evangelical base in America — dropping off from 23% to roughly 14% of the population since the year 2000. California gubernatorial candidate ends campaign over sexual misconduct California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell terminated his campaign after being accused of sexual misconduct by several women, reports The Western Journal. Swalwell, who currently serves in the US House of Representatives, was pressured by fellow Democrats to leave the race, and also saw his own staffers quit. On X, Swalwell posted, “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.” He also said this in a video. Listen. SWALWELL: “I do not suggest to you in any way that I'm perfect or that I'm a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position. I also apologize to you if in any way you have doubted your support for me, but I think you know who I am.” However, last night, the alleged reprobate announced plans to resign from Congress altogether. In related news, liberal Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales of Texas, who sexually harassed at least two of his staffers, also announced he will resign, reports the San Antonio Express-News. America’s housing market in trouble The U.S. housing market suffered a bad month-on-month drop in sales of existing homes in March. This marks the longest bad run on housing sales in at least 25...

    Franklin Graham compares Trump to Biblical Esther; Hegseth: “Iran begged for this ceasefire”; Public school fully embraces Muslim holidays, but calls Easter ‘Spring break’
    Apr 13 2026
    It’s Monday, April 13th, 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 Pakistani Muslim threatened to kill Christian woman for not converting On Easter Sunday, in Muslim-majority Pakistan, police arrested a Muslim man accused of threatening to kill a Christian woman if she refused to convert to Islam and marry him, reports Morning Star News. Imran Masih in the Sahiwal District, said his 20-year-old niece, Laiba Javed, received a handwritten note from Rehman Irfan on April 2nd demanding that she convert to Islam and marry him by April 15th. In the note, Irfan warned that he would have her killed if she refused. Laiba, who works in Lahore, had returned to her ancestral village to celebrate Easter with relatives when she received the note. Masih said, “Irfan, [the Muslim man] who is a former schoolmate of Laiba, came to our house with two armed accomplices when she was alone. He handed her a letter at gunpoint stating that he loved her and would go to any extent to marry her after converting her.” Not exactly the typical romantic gesture. Laiba immediately informed her family, who approached police. They booked him for issuing threats. Not surprisingly, she has since left the village due to safety concerns, though they remain worried about her security. According to a study by the Lahore-based Center for Social Justice, 515 cases of abduction and forced conversion involving minority women and girls were reported between 2021 and 2025. Hindu girls accounted for 69 percent or 353 cases, followed by Christian girls at 31 percent or 160 cases, while two cases involved Sikh victims. Additionally, more than half of the victims were between 14 and 18 years old, and about 20 percent were under 14. Religiously speaking, 96% of the Pakistani population is Muslim. Open Doors has documented that Pakistan is the eighth most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Hegseth: “Iran begged for this ceasefire” On April 8th, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury was a resounding success. HEGSETH: “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. As the president 'truthed' this morning, ‘A big day for world peace.’ “Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Operation: Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital ‘V’ military victory.” Iran peace talks underway as Vance arrives in Pakistan President Donald Trump said that talks with Iran have begun, adding that global oil shipping is finding alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz, reports NewsNation.com. Trump predicted the strait would reopen in the “not too distant future.” He warned that if negotiations do not go well, the U.S. is prepared to “reset,” saying, “We’re ready to go.” The negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, on ending the six-week conflict are the first face-to-face talks between the two nations since 1979. Vice President J.D. Vance is leading the U.S. delegation, which also includes special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff; Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; and deputy national security adviser Dr. Andy Baker. Franklin Graham compares Trump to Biblical Esther On Easter Sunday, Rev. Franklin Graham prayed a powerful prayer at the White House as President Donald Trump stood behind him. GRAHAM: “Father, You tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians, were wanting to kill every Jew -- woman, child -- and do it all in one day. But You raised up Esther to save the Jewish people, Father, we thank you. “Today, the Iranians, the wicked regime of this government, wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But You have raised up President Trump. You've raised him up for such a time as this. And Father, we pray that You'll give him victory.” In Esther 4:14, Esther’s guardian Mordecai, concerned about the fate of the Jews in light of Haman’s threats, said, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Franklin Graham concluded his prayer at the White House with these words. GRAHAM: “Father, we pray for our military that you'd watch over and protect them. Father, we pray for the people of Iran who want freedom to be set free from these Islamic lunatics. “Father, we thank you for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth to take our sins, that He died and shed His blood on a cross for our sins, that He was buried. He took our sins to the grave, but You raised Him to life. Father, we thank You and we praise You, and we give You the glory. Father, protect President Trump. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.” Public school fully embraces Muslim Holidays, calls Easter ‘...

    Rev Robert Jeffress: “The America as we know it will cease to exist”; New evidence reveals deep pro-abortion bias at Biden’s DOJ; Maunday Thursday Massacre: Muslims killed 43 Christians in Congo
    Apr 10 2026
    It’s Friday, April 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Maunday Thursday Massacre: Muslims killed 43 Christians in Congo On April 2nd, the Islamic Allied Democratic Forces killed dozens of Christians in Mambasa Territory located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, reports International Christian Concern. The attack in the African nation occurred on Maundy Thursday, a day during Holy Week when Christians remember the Last Supper. A religious freedom advocate, who wanted to remain anonymous for safety purposes, said, “The initial death toll of 43 may rise further; some victims were burned inside their homes, and others are still in the bush. The attackers surprised the population in their sleep. The victims were killed by gunfire, and several were beheaded with machetes. The images are unbearable.” In Revelation 6:9-10, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?’” White House envoy to Netanyahu: Stop bombing Lebanon Iran's new Supreme Leader issued a chilling message after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scolded by U.S. President Donald Trump for nearly jeopardizing the shaky ceasefire. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu held a phone call between President Trump and White House envoy Steve Witkoff, according to Axios. Witkoff reportedly told Netanyahu to “calm down” the strikes in Lebanon and open peace negotiations. Amid Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran, Israel has continued to bombard urban population centers in Lebanon, including Beirut, killing and injuring civilians. Trump's request came as the United States prepares to meet with Iranian leaders in Pakistan to negotiate an end to the war. Iran claims Lebanon was part of the ceasefire deal with the U.S. and is now threatening to abandon peace talks and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed unless Israel stops attacking its proxy, Hezbollah, in the region. However, U.S. and Israeli diplomats deny that the ceasefire with the Iranian Islamic regime applies to Netanyahu's ground offensive against Lebanon. Rev Robert Jeffress: “The America as we know it will cease to exist” Pastor Robert Jeffress says that his upcoming sermon on the United States’ 250th anniversary won’t be the “typical flag-waving, rah-rah patriotic service” some might expect, reports The Christian Post. Instead, Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas, said the special July 4th sermon will be entitled, "America at the Crossroads: Can We Survive Another 250 Years?" He explained, “We have experienced God’s blessing for 250 years because of our strong Christian foundation. Ultimately, we know from Scripture that America as we know it will cease to exist, certainly by the last years of Earth’s history, known as the Great Tribulation.” According to Jeffress, the book of Revelation describes an America, in those final years before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which there will be “no freedom of press, no freedom of assembly, no freedom of religion, no freedom of commerce, which means the United States, as we know it, will have ceased to exist since we will be under the rule of a one leader dictator, commonly known as Antichrist. So that’s the future. We don’t know when it’s going to happen, but it is going to happen eventually.” Despite the grim outlook, Jeffress emphasized that his upcoming sermon is “not a fatalistic message,” but rather points to the present responsibility of Christians, drawing from Deuteronomy 30. Rev. Jeffress added, “We as a nation have a choice. We can experience God’s blessings right now or God’s curses right now.” He gave a list of four things we can do to secure such blessings: take a stand, cast a vote, say a prayer, and share the Gospel. He explained, “I think that’s why Jesus called us to be both salt and light. Salt in Jesus’ day was a preservative. It didn’t prevent the decay of meat, but it delayed the decay of meat. It gave the meat a longer shelf life. And, in the same way, we as Christians, in a pagan world, are to be an influence, not that we’re going to prevent the ultimate demise of our culture, but we can delay it.” New evidence reveals deep pro-abortion bias at Biden’s DOJ A nearly 60-page report from the Trump Department of Justice contains “evidence of collusion and unethical behavior” between the Biden-era DOJ and pro-abortion entities, including the National Abortion Federation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. According to MS Now, formerly known as MSNBC, the draft says, “Upon assuming office, the Biden DOJ shattered the public’s ...

    “A Great Awakening” Christian film in theaters thru April 16; Texas court greenlights Christian evangelism near mosque; Cuba pardoned 2,000 prisoners before Easter
    Apr 9 2026
    It’s Thursday, April 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua officials violated religious freedom 309 times in 2025 Last year, the government of Nicaragua imposed increasing restrictions on religious leaders. This is according to a new report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The report documented 309 violations of freedom of religion or belief in 2025. That’s up from 222 cases in 2024. Over 100 of the cases last year involved Protestant Christians. Anna Lee Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “While in some ways the regime has changed its strategies – releasing political prisoners into house arrest as opposed to forcing them into exile, for example – its primary goal remains the same: to control, co-opt or eliminate anyone it deems a threat to its authority and survival.” But, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Cuba pardoned 2,000 prisoners before Easter The government of Cuba announced pardons for over 2,000 prisoners last week ahead of Resurrection Sunday. Those released included young people, women, and people over the age of 60. The pardons follow significant pressure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This marks the fifth prisoner release by Cuba’s communist regime since 2011. The pardons have benefited over 10,000 people, including political prisoners and pastors. Mexico’s “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy” The Mexican state of Aguascalientes designated March 25 as the “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy.” The central state is the first state in the country to establish such a day for promoting pro-family policies. At the federal level, Mexico has decriminalized the killing of unborn babies. Some states have moved to protect babies while others support abortion. Texas court greenlights Christian evangelism near mosque In the United States, a Texas court recently allowed Christians to continue evangelizing near a mosque. The East Plano Islamic Center filed a lawsuit last October to silence Christians who were sharing their faith on public property nearby. However, the state court dismissed the lawsuit last month. The law firm representing the Christians stated, “This lawsuit was an extraordinary demand … to ban missionaries from peacefully … preaching the Gospel. We are grateful that the Court recognized that such demands are a serious challenge to our country’s core values of free speech and freedom of religion.” Regular church attenders most likely to be generous Charitable giving among evangelical Protestants is stabilizing according to a new report from Infinity Concepts. The report found 62 percent of Evangelicals gave to church last year. That’s down from 74 percent in 2020 but slightly up from 61 percent in 2024. In terms of church attendance, those who attend weekly were the most likely to give to church. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Stock market up and oil prices down The U.S. stock market surged and oil prices fell yesterday. This came after President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock market indexes were up by over two percent. And the price of U.S. crude oil dropped by over 15% to about $95 per barrel. That’s down from $117 on Tuesday. Still, oil prices are up 65 percent compared to the start of the year. “A Great Awakening” Christian film in theaters thru April 16 And finally, the movie “A Great Awakening” opened in theaters on Good Friday. The historical Christian film hit number six at the box office. Sight & Sound Films released the movie in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The movie is based on the true story of the unlikely friendship between Reverend George Whitefield and founding father Benjamin Franklin. Whitefield’s voice was so clear and robust that he was able to speak to thousands without amplification. Franklin was a doubter. FRANKLIN: “I am doubting Whitefield's claim that he can be heard and understood by so many. Without evidence, I won't believe it.” WHITEFIELD: “Let us proclaim freedom to the captives. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” WITNESS 1: “Have you ever heard a voice like that?” WITNESS 2: “A blast from Heaven.” WHITEFIELD: “Benjamin Franklin.” FRANKLIN: “Reverend Whitefield. Partnering with me would guarantee the maximum benefit to your cause.” WHITEFIELD: “A match made in Heaven.” FRANKLIN: “Or just a deal made in a print shop.” WHITEFIELD: “You have promoted the greatest awakening these colonies have ever seen.” Joshua Enck with Sight & Sound Ministries said, “As we approach America's 250th ...

    Apr 8 2026
    It’s Wednesday, April 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Hindu nationalists attacked two pastors in India Hindu nationalists attacked two pastors in India last week ahead of Resurrection Sunday. The pastors were distributing Christian literature in a village in Karnataka State. The Hindu nationalists verbally abused the pastors before physically assaulting them and taking their literature. One of the pastors, aged 60, required emergency medical care after the attack. He told International Christian Concern, “We would have been killed if police had not intervened in time. The police eventually arrived at the scene, rescued us, and took us to the hospital for treatment.” India’s new census In other India-related news, the country began the world’s largest census last week. The year-long census will collect information from the country’s 1.4 billion citizens. India conducted its last census back in 2011. Since then, the country surpassed China as the world’s most populated nation. For the first time in decades, India’s census will ask people what caste they belong to. The census already includes questions about religion. Religious freedom groups warn the government could use these data points to discriminate against religious minorities like Christians. 55% of Russians do not attend church The Russian research organization Levada Centre published a new survey on church attendance in the country. A record 55% of respondents said they do not attend religious services. That’s up 11 percentage points since last year. The lack of church attendance was particularly common among men, young people, and students. Only 16% of respondents said they attend services at least once a month. Trump announced 2-week suspension of Iran attack At 5:32pm ET on April 7th, President Donald Trump shared a major update on Truth Social about the war with Iran. He wrote, “Based on conversations with [Pakistani] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and [Pakistani] Field Marshal Asim Munir and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. “This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.” President Trump concluded with these words. “On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the countries of the Middle East, it is an honor to have this long-term problem close to resolution.” Vice President Vance: “Very shortly, this war is going to conclude” Vice President J.D. Vance, who was meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Hungary, said the war in Iran is coming to an end soon, reports Real Clear Politics. Listen. VANCE: “First of all, the United States has largely accomplished its military objectives. There are still some things that we'd like to do, for example, on Iranian ability to manufacture weapons that we'd like to do a little bit more work on militarily. But fundamentally, the military objectives of the United States have been completed. “So, that means, as the President has said, very shortly, this war is going to conclude. And I think the nature of the conclusion is ultimately up to the Iranians. “I think there really are two pathways. I'm oversimplifying this a little bit, but I think pathway one is where the Iranians decide they're going to be a normal country. They're not going to fund terrorism anymore. They're going to be part of the world system of commerce and exchange, and that's going to mean much better things for them economically. It's going to mean better things for the peace and safety of the world. That's option A. Okay? “Option B is that the Iranians don't come to [the] table and they stay committed to terrorism, to terrorizing their neighbors, not just Israel, but of course, their Arab neighbors too. Then, the economic situation in Iran is going to continue to be very, very bad, and frankly, it will probably get worse.” California dropped prosecution of undercover pro-life videographer In the United States, California finally dropped its prosecution of pro-lifer David Daleiden. The undercover journalist is the president and founder of The Center for Medical Progress. In 2015, the group exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal sale of baby body parts. Daleiden faced years of legal battles since then. He posted a statement on X last week, saying, “As promised, the final charge has been DISMISSED and the case completely...

    It’s Tuesday, April 7th, 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 Easter massacre in Nigeria Easter weekend was one long, bloody massacre for Christians in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Heavily armed Fulani Muslim insurgents burned down three Christian communities in Nasarawa State. Sadly, the Nigerian government offered no protections for the Christians. The Muslim Fulani tore through the Benue State chanting “Allahu Akbar,” burning houses and killing 17 residents there. Again, witnesses say the government offered no protection. On Sunday, 15 more Christian worshipers were killed in the Southern Kaduna State. Please, pray for the heavily oppressed Nigerian Christians. Will Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán win re-election? Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may be on his way out. The Prime Minister, who is a close friend to the Trump administration, and has held power for 16 years, is slumping in the polls. Opposition candidate Peter Magyar is garnering support among young Hungarians, and some polls have his Tisza Party at 50% support. Viktor Orbán has been known as a fierce nationalist over the years. The elections will take place this Friday. Hungary drops in Freedom Index Since Orban’s election to office in 2010, Hungary’s rating on the Heritage Foundation Freedom Index has witnessed a 7% drop. Plus, The Freedom House index registers a 30% loss in freedom for Hungary since 2010. Freedom of the press has also lost ground. Reporters Without Borders puts Hunrgry at the 68th place in the world, down from 23rd place in 2010. During the COVID years, spreading “false information” about the pandemic was made a crime, punishable by five years in prison. State control of private property increased during Orban’s administration from 11% to 16.5% of the Gross Domestic Product which is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within the country's borders in a year. And homeschooling is practically banned in Hungary. Orban’s government has held the ground on pro-family issues relating to abortion and LGBTQ sexual perversion indoctrination in schools. Pew Research reports that Hungary is in religious decline. Orban’s efforts to raise the birth rate have largely failed, with the 2025 birth rate dropping to 1.31. Only 17% of Hungarians attend religious services weekly or monthly, and only 16% of the population say they pray daily. That compares to 29% for the region of Eastern Europe. King Charles ignores Easter and celebrates Ramadan The English monarch, King Charles III, broke tradition this year and neglected to include a message to Christians on the day that many churches celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Instead, on the Royal Family’s account, he opted to celebrate the Islamic holiday, Ramadan. King Charles wrote, "Wishing all Muslims in the U.K., the Commonwealth and around the world, a blessed and peaceful Ramadan.” In Luke 9:26, Jesus said, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 2nd, reported NBC News. He has temporarily appointed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the position. In a post on Truth Social, President Trump wrote that Bondi “will be transitioning to a much-needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.” Bondi, a Trump loyalist, had taken heat for her handling of the Epstein Files. That’s the second of five female cabinet members to be removed in the last two months, following the dismissal of Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security Secretary. Senator Rand Paul flirting with presidential run Appearing on CBS’ Sunday Morning, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul is floating a potential presidential bid in 2028. PAUL: “There used to really be a free market/libertarian wing of the party. And now there's not much left. In fact, on many days, it's me in the Senate, the only one left for free trade. “But I think there still is a desire among business for it, and it may make the so-called libertarian vote, which might not be big enough to ever win anything, if you combine that with the Chamber of Commerce and the traditional business community, that doesn't like protectionism, there may be a force out there for a different direction from the party, other than being continued to be led by populism.” REPORTER: “There was recently a headline in the Washington Examiner: ‘Rand Paul sounds like he's running for president.’” PAUL: “Yeah, I don't know yet. So, maybe they know something. I don't know. We're thinking about it, and I ...

    Fidel Castro’s daughter: It’s time for Cuban regime change; U.S. fighter jet shot down over Iran; Martyrdoms of British Pilgrims Henry Barrow and John Greenwood
    Apr 6 2026
    It’s Easter Monday, April 6th, 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 India further restricts funding of foreign non-governmental organizations India’s Christian community complains that federal amendments to the law on foreign funding give the government excessive power over organizations tied to minority religions like Christianity, reports International Christian Concern. They termed the amendments as “draconian” and “constitutionally suspect.” The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act is the channel through which all non-governmental organizations involved in charitable works receive foreign funding in the country. A key and contentious feature of the 2026 amendment is the creation of a “Designated Authority,” notified by the federal government, which will take provisional control of foreign contributions and assets in cases of cancellation, surrender, or cessation of registration. This control extends even to assets that are only partly funded through foreign contributions. The authority is empowered to supervise, manage, and maintain these assets. Unbelievably, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has, during the past decade, revoked or suspended the FCRA registrations of more than 20,000 organizations. Fidel Castro’s daughter: It’s time for Cuban regime change Alina Fernández Revuelta, daughter of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, has strongly criticized the communist regime her father launched in 1959, stating that Cuba is overdue for a new government, reports The Epoch Times. She fled Havana in 1993 at the age of 37 and settled in Miami, living a modest life much like that of other Cuban exiles. Born in 1956, Revuelta grew up in post‑revolution Havana, as part of the privileged revolutionary elite. Yet from a young age, she became aware of the realities of communism and later emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of her father’s rule, which she described as oppressive. In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, she said, “For me, it’s been time for a regime change since the late ‘80s. At the time Fidel Castro died, we were all thinking [his regime] had come to an end, because it was a very personalized and paternalist ... narcissistic government. ... But it survived.” Revuelta is the daughter of Fidel Castro and Havana socialite Natalia Revuelta, who had an affair in the mid-1950s while both were married to other people. She grew up with her mother and stepfather, and did not learn that Castro was her biological father until age 10. U.S. fighter jet shot down over Iran On April 3rd, a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was reportedly shot down over southern Iran, with Iranian state media claiming the regime downed the aircraft, reports One America News. The incident prompted search and rescue missions for the aircraft’s two-person crew. Tehran’s state media shared images of debris from the crash on Friday. According to Israeli officials, the United States dispatched search teams to the crash area, and so far, the teams have succeeded in rescuing one crew member, with the search for the second ongoing, reports The Epoch Times. The semi-official Tasnim News Agency, citing an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps statement, said U.S. forces were seen conducting a search operation in the area using Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 Hercules aircraft. The incident comes amid mounting tensions as Trump’s ultimatum for Iran to agree to a peace deal approaches an April 6 deadline, with talks showing little sign of progress. Tennessee legislature passes bill to stop mail-order Abortion Kill Pill The Tennessee General Assembly has passed legislation that would hold out-of-state distributors of Abortion Kill Pills accountable when the drugs are mailed into the state and result in the death of a preborn child, reports LifeNews.com. The goal of the bill is to stop mail-order Abortion Kill Pills that are killing thousands of babies and undermining the pro-life law Tennessee approved to protect unborn children from abortions. House Bill 5 creates a civil cause of action allowing certain family members, including the baby’s mother, to file a wrongful death lawsuit against those who send abortion-inducing drugs into Tennessee. It provides for statutory damages of at least $1 million, if the plaintiff proves by a preponderance of the evidence, that the drugs caused the death of her preborn child. The bill, sponsored by GOP Rep. Gino Bulso, passed both the House and Senate and now heads to the desk of Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee for his signature. You can thank Rep. Bulso by calling (615) 741-6808 or sending him a one-sentence note to Rep. Gino Bulso, 425 Rep. John Lewis Way N. Suite 520, Cordell Hull Bldg., Nashville, TN 37243.

    Trump: We’ll be free from Iranian wickedness and nuclear blackmail; Constitution expert predicts Supreme Court will affirm birthright citizenship; NASA launches Artemis II to travel around the moon
    Apr 3 2026
    It’s Friday, April 3rd, 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 Pakistani Christian legislator’s bill would end forced conversions to Islam On March 31st, a Pakistani Christian lawmaker introduced a bill to criminalize forced religious conversions to Islam with penalties of up to five years in prison, reports Morning Star News. Falbous Christopher submitted the Punjab Protection of the Rights of Religious Minorities Bill 2026 in a renewed attempt to address a long-standing human rights challenge affecting Pakistan’s religious minorities, particularly Christian and Hindu women and underage girls. No doubt his bill was inspired by stories like Maira Shahbaz, a 14-year-old Christian girl, who was abducted and forced to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim man in April 2020. Micah 6:8 urges us “to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Abduction of girls, forced conversion to Islam, and forced marriages are out of keeping with all three. Trump: We’ll be free from Iranian wickedness and nuclear blackmail On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump addressed the nation with an update on “Operation Epic Fury,” the United States war with Iran. TRUMP: “We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly. We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. “Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change. But regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' deaths. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable. “Yet, if during this period of time, no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets. If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric-generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously. We have not hit their oil, even though that's the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding. “They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated. We are unstoppable as a military force. The nuclear sites that we obliterated with the B2 Bombers have been hit so hard that it would take months to get near the nuclear dust. “We have all the cards. They have none. They were the bully of the Middle East, but they're the bully no longer. Tonight, every American can look forward to a day when we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression and the specter of nuclear blackmail.” War Secretary Hegseth quoted from imprecatory Psalms On March 25th, War Secretary Pete Hegseth quoted from the imprecatory Psalms and invoked divine wrath against the enemies of the United States during introductory remarks he made at the first monthly prayer service at the Pentagon since the outbreak of the war in Iran, reported The Christian Post. Hegseth read from a military chaplain's prayer used ahead of the January 3rd, 2026 operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro which he implied was equally relevant in the battle against the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Listen. HEGSETH: "Almighty God, who trains our hands for war and our fingers for battle, You who stirred the nations from the north against Babylon of old, making her land a desolation where none dwell: behold now the wicked, who rise against Your justice and the peace of the righteous. "Snap the rod of the oppressor, frustrate the wicked plans of the ungodly. By the blast of Your anger, let the evil perish. Let their bulls go down to slaughter, for their day has come; the time of their punishment. Pour out Your wrath upon those who plot vain things and blow them away like chaff before the wind." Psalm 17:13 says, “Rise up, LORD, confront them, bring them down; with your sword. Rescue me from the wicked.” Constitution expert predicts Supreme Court will affirm birthright citizenship Appearing on The Human Events podcast, Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court appears likely to affirm “birthright citizenship” for illegal aliens. Listen. DAVIS: “I worry this is a 7-2 case.” JACK PROSOBIEC: “Wow!” DAVIS: “I worry that the only two justices who will have the courage to follow the law here are Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Sam Alito. I worry that the Chief Justice [John Roberts] and the three Trump justices [Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett] will join the three leftists [Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson] who will always vote against President Trump. “The law is so crystal clear here. We the people, the sovereign citizens of America, get to decide who comes, who goes, get to decide who our fellow citizens are. We certainly did not give that away ...
