    Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa accepts female ordination; Russell Brand sentenced to 10-year prison sentence; Another Planned Parenthood mill bites the dust

    It’s Tuesday, November 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Russell Brand sentenced to 10-year prison sentence A well-known British comedian named Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for engaging in non-consensual sexual sin. Two years ago, Brand was baptized in the River Thames. He has been interviewed concerning his “faith” by Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly.  Throughout his trial, Brand was holding online prayer meetings with his followers, and as of the last few weeks, he’s still marketing his book entitled How to Become a Christian in 7 Days. Some have questioned the sincerity of his recent profession of faith. Time will tell. South Africa voted conservative The South African elections over the weekend took the nation decidedly towards the right. The African National Congress lost 15 percent of support — now holding only 31 percent of the parliamentarian seats. The radical left MK Party lost 4 percent, now holding only 6 percent of the seats. Several center-to-right parties gained 18 percent. The trend for South Africa and Brazil has been a rise for the right. Fewer Congressmen in our nation’s capital After this midterm election, there will be fewer men leading in the U.S. Congress than any other time on record — only 376 out of the 535. That accounts for a drop to 70 percent male leadership, down from 94 percent in 1990, and 98 percent in 1970, reports CNN. Male leadership in national parliaments around the world has also dropped off from 90 percent in 1990 to 72.5 percent in 2026. Plus, the number of female heads of state has increased from 3 to 28 since 1970. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa accepts female ordination The Calvary Chapel flagship in Costa Mesa, California, once pastored by Chuck Smith and featured in the movie Jesus Revolution, has moved to accept the ordination of women as pastors, reports ChurchLeaders.com. This came a week ago in the Sunday morning service when Lead Pastor Char Broderson made the announcement. BRODERSON: “Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa believes and practices the ordination of both men and women to pastoral ministry as a recognition of the priesthood of all believers.” The leftist version of Calvary Chapel has formed what they have called another association called the Calvary Global Network. Quoting from 1 Timothy 2:11-14 --“Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.  For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, fell into transgression.” California swapped out Christian faith for Muslim faith The State of California has now officially swapped out the Christian faith for the Muslim faith. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 2017. Two Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, will become official California holidays, reports The Daily Signal. According to the law, public schools may now be “acknowledging and celebrating the meaning and importance” of these Islamic religious holidays. Previously, California replaced the terms “Christmas” and “Easter” with the labels “Winter” and “Spring.” NASA will invest $10 billion to build base on Moon The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has announced a $10 billion program for building a permanent base on the Moon, reports Space.com. The government program is inviting Elon Musk's SpaceX, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, and six other aerospace companies to compete for the contracts. Polish mass shooting claims six lives A mass shooting in Poland left six dead and more than a dozen injured over the weekend.  The massacre took place in the Main Market Square in Krakow, a major tourist attraction. According to a spokesman following the attack, “Many pieces of weapons and ammunition were found in his vehicle.”  The 24-year-old suspect, Michał Oksiński, allegedly killed three members of his own family before the attack. Four men and two women died in the shooting, including a Briton and an Austrian. Another Planned Parenthood mill bites the dust And finally, here’s a bit of good news! A Planned Parenthood murder mill in Manitowoc, Wisconsin is set to permanently close before the end of the month. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 60 Planned Parenthoods have closed or consolidated.  Dan Miller of Pro-Life Wisconsin celebrated. He said, “The pro-life people of Manitowoc have been holding a peaceful vigil at this location for years. Today, God answered their prayers. With this closing, no more Manitowoc babies will die and no more Manitowoc mothers will cry because of abortion. When you defund Planned Parenthood, this is what happens. To God be all the glory.” In Psalm 35:17, David asked, “Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, my precious life from the lions.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, November 10th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Print stories Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney vs. Conservative Pierre Polievre Canada is looking to open its borders wide in the coming years. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new budgetary plan for the country that involves bringing in over two million immigrants in the next three years! Conservative opponents are blasting the decision, especially as Canadians continue to struggle finding work and solid wages. Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s conservative party, exclaimed, “There are corporate power brokers [who] want to use the labor to drive down wages and charge more rent, and they’ll profit by continuing to destroy the working class. And we want exactly the opposite: less immigration, [and] controlled [so we] bring in only the people who can contribute, and only in the numbers for which there is healthcare jobs and housing available.” Breitbart reported, “[Canada] already includes roughly 8.3 million subsidized migrants — and a declining number of jobs. In the last three months, Canada lost 114,000 jobs.” The debate about Flock cameras and privacy As fears about automated license plate readers and Flock cameras are coming to a head for many voters, the office of the Attorney General is working to dismiss these issues. Attorney General Todd Blanche pointedly stated, “If you’re asking whether I support law enforcement reading license plates. Yes, as every single citizen in this country should. I’m not suggesting that privacy doesn’t matter. To the contrary. But what I am suggesting is that the technology around license plate readers does not affect the privacy of American citizens.” The problem? Citizens across the country have already voted against these methods of surveillance en masse, believing them to be tools that encroach on their privacy. Veronika Kyrylenko pointed out in The New American, “Modern Automated License Plate Recognition networks do considerably more than read individual license plates. They automatically record vehicle descriptions, locations, and timestamps, building searchable databases that authorities can use to reconstruct movements across multiple jurisdictions.”

    7 Presidents experienced bigger midterm losses than Trump; Egyptian Coptic Christian refused to renounce Christ; Florida Governor-elect gives God the glory

    It’s Monday, November 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 Adam McManus Egyptian Coptic Christian refused to renounce Christ In early October, a 20-year-old Coptic Christian was kidnapped by ISIS. Milad Malak lived in Sebarbay, Egypt, and served as a church deacon. However, because of the country’s economic decline, he traveled to Libya on September 2 to find work.  He made a day’s journey with two Muslim friends and arrived in Zliten, where they stayed with other Egyptian migrant workers. On the morning of October 4th, ISIS militants kidnapped them.  The captors subjected the group to abuse while they held them hostage for ransom money. Milad’s friends were released after their families paid a $4,700 ransom. They are now receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Egypt.  Milad’s sister, Madonna, told Worthy News that their family paid a ransom, but because he was the only Christian in the group, his kidnappers refused to release him and violently pressured him to convert to Islam.  Milad stood strong in his faith until the end. He told his persecutors, “Even if you cut me into pieces, I would never renounce my faith.”  When the Islamic militants realized they could not force him to abandon Jesus Christ, they killed him.  Milad’s family asked the Egyptian government to intervene and demand that his body be returned home.   Several weeks went by until it was finally released, and on October 28, grieving family members and fellow Christians gathered to celebrate his life. One friend said, “He was faithful to Christ till his last breath.” James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.” Trump promotes Stephen Miller to chief of staff On November 6th, President Donald Trump said Stephen Miller was replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, just days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections. At an event over the weekend in Mar-a-Lago, Miller spoke definitively about President Trump’s accomplishments. MILLER: “He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation, and he saved our country from threats at home and abroad, which would have been the end of the American dream forever. This man took a bullet for us. He faced down life in prison for us. He saved the Republican Party from the ash heap of history and has made it stronger, more popular, and more resilient than ever before.” H.E. Goemans, Miller’s former Professor of Political Science at Duke University, revealed this. GOEMANS: “My former student.” INTERVIEWER: “The Stephen Miller in the Trump administration?” GOEMANS:  "I asked him in 2003 what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he said, 'I want to be number two in the White House.'  And I said, ‘Oh, when do you want to achieve that?’ He says, ‘In the next 15 years.’ I said, ‘Wow, okay, well, who would be the president?’ And he said, ‘Donald Trump, maybe.’ The guy is very smart.” How Susie Wiles was uniquely qualified to be Trump’s Chief of Staff Susan Wiles resigned from her role as President Trump’s Chief of Staff, reported One America News. The departure also came months after Wiles indicated she no longer showed evidence of breast cancer following months of treatment for the disease, a diagnosis she went public with in March 2026. Wiles, age 69, has been credited with steering the most disciplined of his three presidential bids, and Trump himself has said he was often told that Wiles led his “best-run campaign.”  The daughter of the late NFL player-turned-broadcaster Pat Summerall, Susan Wiles also worked in the offices of former Jacksonville mayors John Delaney and John Peyton. Her first White House job was as a scheduler for President Ronald Reagan. The Vanity Fair reporter said this. VANITY FAIR REPORTER: “She has a kind of magic with Trump that none of her predecessors had. It goes all the way back to her childhood with her father, Pat Summerall, the famous football player, who was an alcoholic. One of the first things Susie Wiles told me is that ‘Donald Trump has an alcoholic’s personality,’ which is odd because we all know that Trump famously does not drink. What she meant was that he had this larger-than-life, unrestrained personality.” ANOTHER COMMENTATOR: “So, she looks at Trump the way she looks at her father. How do you manage a kind of volatile personality, a guy who can just lash out at any minute, who can be unpredictable? And she describes that as her main skill as Chief of Staff.” 7 Presidents experienced bigger midterm election losses than Trump Almost without fail, the midterm elections result in political losses for the president’s party. But if you believe the liberal media, President Donald Trump’s election losses on November 3rd were the worst ever, losing 46 seats, 39 seats in the House and 7 in the Senate.  Actually, truth be told, there were seven other presidents who suffered greater losses in the middle of their presidential term of office. In 1938, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt lost 79 seats, 72 in the House and 7 in the Senate. In 2010, Democratic President Barack Obama lost 69 seats, 63 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate. In 1946, Democratic President Harry S. Truman lost 68 seats, 56 seats in the House and 12 seats in the Senate. In 1994, Democratic President Bill Clinton lost 63 seats, 54 seats in the House and 8 seats in the Senate. In 1958, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower lost 61 seats, 48 seats in the House and 13 seats in the Senate. In 1974, Republican President Gerald Ford lost 53 seats, 48 seats in the House and 5 seats in the Senate. In 1966, Democratic President Lyndon Johnson lost 51 seats, 47 seats in the House and 4 seats in the Senate. How fake Dan Sullivan might have cost real Dan Sullivan the Senate seat Remember the fake Dan J. Sullivan, an independent, who was recruited allegedly by the Democrat Senatorial candidate Mary Peltola in Alaska to run against the real Republican incumbent Dan Scott Sullivan? He might have cost Republican Dan Sullivan the race. Democrat Mary Peltola earned 102,962 votes. Republican incumbent Dan Scott Sullivan captured 102,325 votes. And the Independent fake Dan J. Sullivan got 3,600 votes, many of whom probably thought they were voting for the Republican Dan Sullivan. The election has still not been called because it’s so close. And, not surprisingly, legal questions have arisen about the purposeful attempt to confuse and deceive Alaskan voters regarding the two Dan Sullivans on the ballot. Boston Airport travelers welcomed by voice of Boston pipefitter Boston has a new voice welcoming travelers at the Boston Logan International Airport, reports CBS News. Christopher Donisi, a Boston native and pipefitter, beat out nearly 6,000 people to win the unpaid gig. Listen. DONISI: “Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport, front door to the capital of heart, hustle, and hometown pride.” Gotta love that Boston accent. Florida Governor-elect gives God the glory And finally, appearing on Fox and Friends, Republican Florida Governor-elect Byron Donalds was asked this question by Brian Kilmeade. KILMEADE: “How does a black kid from a working-class area in Brooklyn become governor of Florida? What does it feel like to make that journey?” DONALDS: “I'm still processing all that. My mom was with me last night, gave her a big hug. My mom did everything for me as a kid, and so it's really just to the grace of God. God did this. This is His victory. It's really not mine. I'm just a vessel in this entire move. But I just appreciate my mother.” KILMEADE: “And what did she say to you?” DONALDS: “She said she was proud. ‘I knew that you could do it.’ She said, ‘God is so good.’ It was a real special moment last night with me and my mother.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, November 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

    Fewer Evangelicals voted in midterm elections; Voters rejected men in women’s sports; 84% of teens seek advice from Mom

    It’s Friday, November 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 Jonathan Clark Christians & Muslims in India ask for repeal of “anti-conversion” law On October 29th, Christian minority leaders and human rights advocates met in the southern state of Karnataka in India, demanding the immediate repeal of the contentious “anti-conversion” law, reports International Christian Concern.  At a joint press conference in Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka State, prominent Christian and Muslim leaders called on the current Indian National Congress government to fulfill its electoral promise to scrap the misnamed “Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Act, 2022.”  You see, Karnataka passed the anti-conversion law in 2022 under a previous Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party administration, amid intense civil society protests. Although a secular government subsequently unseated the BJP Party after promising to restore minority protections, the administration has hesitated to formally repeal the legislation, drawing sharp criticism from the advocates who helped elect it. Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile." Send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Indian Ambassador to America, Vinay Kwatra, urging him to help repeal the contentious “anti-conversion” law in Karnataka State, India. Address your letter to the Embassy of India, 2107  Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008. Arabic-speaking Christians gaining access to Biblical scholarship Arabic-speaking Christians are gaining access to biblical scholarship in their language. The Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Lebanon released Arabic editions of internationally respected commentaries in September. Christian Daily International noted, “The series [is] a working tool for pastors, teachers and theology students across the Arabic-speaking world, where … thorough and reliable commentaries have long been scarce.” Fewer Evangelicals voted in midterm elections Here in the United States, exit polls show where Republicans lost ground in the midterm elections. Conservatives lost support from Protestants and Catholics this year. Specifically, white born-again or Evangelical Christians tend to support Republicans by a wide margin. But fewer of them voted this year. Evangelicals made up 17 percent of the electorate in 2026, down from 23 percent in 2024. Also, a majority of parents supported President Donald Trump in 2024. But a majority of parents supported Democrats this year amid inflation and cost of living concerns.  Voters in Arizona and Nebraska rejected men in women’s sports Despite the blue wave, voters did not support transgenderism on Election Day.  Arizona and Nebraska approved ballot initiatives to protect women’s sports. The measures prohibit men, pretending to be women, from participating in women’s sports. Similar proposals are set to pass in the Democrat strongholds of Colorado and Washington state. Early counts also show Coloradans supporting Proposition 135. The measure would protect children from transgender surgeries.  Supreme Court might hold Colorado accountable for religious liberty The U.S. Supreme Court heard a religious freedom case on Tuesday. Colorado is trying to keep Catholic preschools out of a publicly-funded preschool program. Participating schools must be open to students regardless of their so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. The Catholic organizations will not sign off on this. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority signaled support for the religious preschools during the hearing.  Arkansas is the most pro-life state Americans United for Life released its 2027 Life List last week. Arkansas won the top spot. Listen to the announcement from Sarah Zagorski with Americans United for Life.  ZAGORSKI: “Today, I have the privilege of announcing that Americans United for Life has recognized Arkansas as the most pro-life state in the nation for the seventh consecutive year.” The list ranks all 50 states based on a range of bioethical issues from conception to natural death, not just abortion.  The top states on the report are Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Tennessee. The worst states are Oregon, Vermont, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Washington. 84% of teens seek advice from Mom And finally, the Barna Group released a report on where teenagers turn to for advice.  The top source of advice for teens is their mom at 84 percent. Over 70 percent of young people seek advice from their dad or friends. Over 60 percent turn to Jesus, the Bible, an adult mentor, or a teacher. Over 50 percent seek advice from their pastor or youth pastor. And just 39 percent turn to YouTube.  Spiritually-engaged teenagers were much more likely to seek advice from the Bible at 78 percent.  In 2 Timothy 3:15, the Apostle Paul wrote, “You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, November 6th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

    V​ice President Vance blames Iran War for blue wave; Two-thirds of churchgoers fail a Bible literacy quiz; ​British adventurer completed 28-year walk around the world

    It’s Thursday, November 5th, 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 Canadian pastor sentenced for expressing Biblical views Authorities in Canada sentenced a pastor to 12 months of probation for expressing his Biblical values. Back in 2023, Pastor Derek Reimer protested a “drag queen story hour” for children at a public library. Officials have targeted him since then with arrests and jail time. He’s now on probation and cannot use social media.  Pastor Reimer told LifeSiteNews, “I trust the Lord; the battle belongs to Him, and there’s a process to some of this and needs to be exposed, needs to be talked about.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Canadian Ambassador to America, Mark Wiseman, urging him to defend the right of pastors to express their Biblical views. Address it to the Canadian Embassy, 501 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20001. ​V​ice President Vance blames Iran War for blue wave Here in the United States, Democrats took control of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Democrats gained seven seats in the U.S. Senate to win a 54-seat majority. They gained 28 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to win a 229-seat majority. Liberals also gained five governor seats, notably flipping Texas from Republican to Democrat.  Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat to become the first Muslim in the chamber. The Senate will also have its first open homosexual after Chris Pappas won in New Hampshire.  He faux married a man named Vann Bentley in February 2023. Oddly enough, Pappas co-owns a restaurant called the Puritan Backroom in Manchester. Daniel 4:17 reminds us, “The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men.” Vice President Vance blames the election losses on the Iran war U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance blamed the election losses on the Iran war.  He wrote on X, “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.” President Donald Trump expressed surprise over the results. He acknowledged the influence of the Iran war on the elections. But he thought the war was still the right thing to do.  President Trump ready to use the veto pen on Democrat proposals In comments by phone to Fox News, President Trump revealed that he’ll be ready to veto insane Democratic proposals and he is also willing to work with them on some things. TRUMP: “It's been done before, as you know, numerous times. It's a power of veto. It's one of the stronger powers that a president has. “They'll send over things that are insane, and I'll veto them. And after a couple of months of vetoes, they'll call and they'll say, ‘How do we get this stuff done?’ We'll work together. You know, I have a lot of friends that are Democrats, believe it or not.” Voters in 3 states embraced abortion vs. voters in another didn’t The midterm elections also featured four abortion-related ballot measures. Citizens in Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia voted in favor of abortion.  However, Idaho bucked the trend. Voters rejected Proposition 1 which would have effectively legalized abortion.   Blaine Conzatti, president of the Idaho Family Policy Center, said, “A broad majority of Idaho voters support our pro-life laws, including our Heartbeat law and the Defense of Life Act. This is what happens when Christians speak out and get engaged. WE WIN.” Two-thirds of churchgoers fail a Bible literacy quiz Lifeway Research reports two in three churchgoers fail a Bible literacy quiz. The survey asked thousands of American Christians dozens of questions about general Bible knowledge. The average respondent scored 51. Sixty-five percent earned an F, scoring below 60. Only eight percent earned an A, scoring 90 and higher.  Lifeway Research noted, “Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who attend church the most and read the Bible the most scored the highest on the Bible literacy quiz.” Psalm 119:15-16 says, “I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word.”  British adventurer completed 28-year walk around the world And finally, a British adventurer finished his 28-year, 29-country, 36,000-mile walk and swim around the world on Monday. It’s become known as the Goliath Expedition.  Karl Bushby began the journey in the southern tip of Chile on November 1, 1998 at the age of 29. He walked north through South America and Central America, the United States, and Canada. From Alaska, he crossed the frozen Bering Strait into Russia. Bushby then made his way through Asia and Europe, swimming both the Caspian Sea and the English Channel. The 57-year-old former paratrooper walked into his home city of Hull, England on Monday, receiving a hug from his mother. Bushby told NBC News that the people he met along the way made the journey possible. Listen. BUSHBY: “I always tell people I've met 99.9999% of the very best of humanity on this. Meeting people on a one-to-one basis -- every culture, every country I've been in, same thing, same overwhelming generosity. People just want to help. The whole world has been my support network, and they have got me home.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, November 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

    President Trump ended funding to Israel; YouVersion Bible App adding 18 million subscribers each day; 100-year-old man is grateful to God

    It’s Wednesday, November 4th, 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 Egyptian authorities arrest Christian for criticizing Islam Authorities in Egypt arrested a Christian last month for criticizing Islam. Sherif Wagih Fahmi is a 41-year-old Coptic Christian who works as an engineer in Alexandria. He recently expressed his beliefs online, opposing Islamic education in the country’s schools. His arrest follows many others. Officials have arrested 14 people since September for simply voicing non-Islamic beliefs. Fahmi’s sister, Emy, told Coptic Solidarity, “There is no freedom of belief or freedom of expression in Egypt.” Write a polite, 4-sentence note to the Egyptian Ambassador to America, Mohamed El-Molla, urging him to take a stand for the right of Egyptian Christians to express their convictions. Send it to the Egyptian Embassy, 3521 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008. YouVersion Bible App adding 18 million subscribers each day It’s Global Bible Month. The YouVersion Bible App is challenging people around the world to read God’s Word daily this November. Last year’s challenge brought the app across a billion downloads. This year daily usage is up 13 percent, adding over 18 million app users each day. Bobby Gruenewald founded the Bible app. Listen to his comments to CBN News. GRUENEWALD: “We have people that created 30-day Bible plans. I think there's hundreds of our partners that have created special plans for Global Bible Month. We actually celebrate the Bible in Times Square [in New York City] and Piccadilly Circus in London and just different iconic places around the world.” Psalm 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly . . . But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.” President Trump ended funding to Israel Here in the United States, President Donald Trump ended funding to Israel as Americans headed to the polls. The U.S. will no longer send about $4 billion in annual aid to Israel. President Trump announced this during a telephone interview on Fox & Friends yesterday.  Listen. TRUMP: “Now, as far as paying Israel, Bibi Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4 billion a year, and we made a deal months ago that we're stopping, and at at their, they're fine with it because you know they become a very successful country. They don’t need it.” $12 billion spent on midterm elections Americans voted in the midterm elections yesterday as Republicans and Democrats fight for control of Congress. The 2026 midterm election is now the most expensive congressional election in U.S. history. OpenSecrets reports spending on congressional races reached nearly $12 billion this year.  Conservative groups outspent liberal groups by nearly $400 million. The Worldview will have an overview of the elections, the balance of power in Congress, and a look at some of the top races on the Thursday, November 5th newscast. Safe Haven Baby Boxes in four states More Safe Haven Baby Boxes are being installed across the country.  Built to protect vulnerable infants who can no longer be cared for by their parents, the baby boxes allow mothers to safely surrender their babies at local fire departments or hospitals. Once the mother has had time to leave the area, an alarm goes off, alerting the personnel of a child, who is then cared for and checked at a local hospital. Safe Haven Boxes has just recently added new Baby Boxes in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri, with Texas planning to add another soon.  One such hospital to receive a new Safe Haven Baby Box was MercyOne Genesis Davenport Hospital in Iowa. Lauren Lovedy with MercyOne stated, “We have upgraded our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We have a pediatric unit. We have 24/7 neonatology. If a baby does need medical attention, we’re here to do that for them. We’re not delaying care. Not only are we getting them safe, we’re getting them the care they need.” 33 percent of Americans attend religious services monthly Pew Research reports that religion in America is showing signs of strength and stability in recent years. Since 2020, a steady percentage of U.S. adults identify with a religion, pray daily, and attend religious services at least monthly.  Thirty-three percent of Americans attend religious services monthly. That number is the highest at 43 percent among adults over 76 years of age. The younger adults are in age, the less likely they are to attend religious services, with the exciting exception of the youngest adults. Forty-one percent of those aged 18-22 attend religious services regularly.   Charlie Kirk would be proud. 100-year-old man is grateful to God And finally, a Pennsylvania man celebrated his 100th birthday last month. William Owen Hanna was born on October 4, 1926. He’s known for his love for his family, church, and community. Owen now has 23 great-great-grandchildren. He’s served at his church for over 70 years. And he continues his love for bowling. He started as a teenager when the pins had to be set up manually every time. Amazingly, the 100-year-old man still throws strikes. In an interview with ABC News, Owen gave thanks to God for his life. Listen. OWEN: “My name is William Owen Hanna. God has blessed me to live to see my 100th birthday. Yeah.” Psalm 92:13-14 says, “Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

    Trump celebrated Reformation Day & “message of salvation”; Michigan Democrat endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate; Off-duty firefighter saved man from burning building

    It’s Election Day, Tuesday, November 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Chinese Communists arrest 27 Christians China Aid reports that Chinese Communists arrested 27 Christians on October 18th in a raid on a house church in Jiangxi Province located in Southeastern China. Two leaders remain in custody. They were charged with having attended a short theological training course in Indonesia. High abortion rate and low fertility rate in United Kingdom Right to Life UK has issues a warning concerning sagging births in England and Wales — the lowest in 50 years. The report revealed that 32% of pregnancies end in abortion. That’s up from 20% just 15 years ago.  The pro-life group noted that things are about to get worse after the abortion-up-to-birth amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill became law earlier this year. Right now, the United Kingdom’s fertility rate is running about 1.39. That means that 1,000 women of childbearing age will only have an average of 1,390 children during their reproductive years. In order for women to replace the current population, those 1,000 women would need to have 2,100 children during their reproductive years. North Korean theft of $6.4 billion The FBI has identified the North Korean government as the culprit in what may be the largest crypto hack in history.  The bandits made off with $6.4 billion of stablecoin, through the crypto-exchange Binance. Shockingly, that would be about 18% of North Korea’s annual budget which is enough money to pay for 630 nuclear warheads.  As of Monday morning, Binance acknowledged $4.6 billion withdrawals from less trusting customers after the heist took place over the weekend. ChainAnalysis estimates losses of $17 billion per year in crypto frauds. The FBI’s numbers indicate that online cybercrime losses have increased from half a billion dollars a year in 2011 to $21 billion just last year. In the words of Nahum, “Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. Its victim never departs  … who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries. ‘Behold, I am against you,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Nahum 3:1, 4b-5) Ways to protect yourself from financial fraud Protect yourself from fraud.  Never rely on a phone number displayed on your phone when the voice claims to be a police officer, a banker, or some other official. Call back on a trusted number, reports the Federal Trade Commission. Establish a family emergency code word. Never use a link to a bank, PayPal, or Amazon provided by an e-mail. Do not trust videos or familiar voices as proof. Always be suspicious of urgency and secrecy. And never transfer money based solely on a call, text, or video. Trump celebrated Reformation Day and “message of salvation” For the first time since the days of President Herbert Hoover, the White House has issued a statement celebrating Reformation Day.  Saturday, October 31st marked the 509th anniversary since Martin Luther issued his 95 theses in Wittenberg, Germany in which he listed unbiblical positions of the Catholic Church. President Donald Trump said, “From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness.  This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. “Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale—inspired by the work of Martin Luther—advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation.” President Trump added, “The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence.  “The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations.”  If you haven’t voted yet, cast your ballot today This is Election Day. Do not forget to vote! As we head into the midterm elections today, most of the polls are not favoring Republicans.   Fox News polls are the most favorable to Republican candidates, putting the Democrat ahead in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, but calling the Michigan, Texas, and Maine races pretty much neck and neck.  And Fox News is putting Democrats ahead in the U.S. House races, projecting 223 seats to the Democrats, 195 to the Republicans, and 17 toss-ups.  Remember, God is in control. Proverbs 16:33 says, “The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.” Michigan Democrat endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate Ahead of the midterm elections, U.S. Representative Haley Stevens, a Democrat, endorsed Michigan Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate, reports CBS News. Stevens lost in the heated U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Michigan to Abdul El-Sayed, a radical candidate who has gained notoriety for his stances on many issues.  Listen to Stevens’ explanation for her shock endorsement. STEVENS: “Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul [El-Sayed], said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away. “And he's right, and that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. “I don't belong in Abdul's campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker, who gets trafficked on our college campuses. “A dear friend of mine earlier today was saying that education is on the ballot, and she's absolutely right. What our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganders is not hate.” Michigan is one of the top battleground states headed into tonight’s elections.  Off-duty firefighter saved man from burning building And finally, an uplifting story from Everyday Heroes television! An off-duty firefighter in Tulsa, Oklahoma saved a man from a burning building.  A.J. Morrison was driving by the fire with ”no gear, no truck — just gym shorts, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes.” He crawled into the house staying as low as he could, found the victim — an unconscious man in a wheelchair -- and dragged him out to safety. MORRISON: "That's what God put me on this Earth to do.  I just try to use my fleshly body as a vessel and carry out His will.” The Tulsa City Council honored Morrison for his “quick thinking and selfless actions.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Print story Canada eager to become Associate Member of European Union European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is doubling down on her bid for Canada to join the European Union as its first associate member.  Von der Leyen said, “Of course, Canada cannot become a full-fledged member of the European Union because of geography. But we both want to bring our relationship to the highest level possible, and this is why we are discussing the idea of Canada becoming the first associate member of the European Union.” The proposal has received some pushback from European delegations, but Von der Leyen declared, “Our idea is simple: an association without accession. But we can replace accession with a common ambition and vision. We can build a partnership that comes closer to membership than anything we’ve done before.” As Canada continues its current rift with the United States, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is open to the idea of a closer relationship with the European Union.                 ++++++++++++ Extra Print: More Safe Haven Baby Boxes are being installed across the country.  The organization, built to protect vulnerable infants who can no longer be cared for by their parents, allows for mothers to safely surrender their babies at local fire departments or hospitals. Once the mother has had time to leave the area, an alarm goes off, alerting the personnel of a child, who is then cared for and checked at a local hospital. The organization has just recently added new Baby Boxes in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri, with Texas planning to add another soon.    One such hospital to receive a new Safe Haven Baby Box was MercyOne Genesis Davenport Hospital in Iowa. Lauren Lovedy with MercyOne stated, “We have now an upgraded NICU, we have a pediatric unit, we have 24/7 neonatology. If a baby does need medical attention, we’re here to do that for them. We’re not delaying care. Not only are we getting them safe, we’re getting them the care they need.”   +++++   European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is doubling down on her bid for Canada to join the European Union as its first associate member.    Von der Leyen said, “Of course, Canada cannot become a full-fledged member of the European Union because of geography.

    3 Biblical principles to guide your vote; Halloween horror at U.S. stock market; Unemployment lowest since 1960s & Trump’s inflation rate half of Biden’s

    It’s Election Eve, Monday, November 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 Adam McManus Christian family in India severely beaten by Hindu extremists A family in India has decided to leave their ancestral home rather than renounce Christ after police allowed a mob of more than 150 Hindu extremists, intent on killing them, to severely beat them, reports Morning Star News. The injuries that Vikas Salam and three others received in Chhattisgarh State’s Kanker District on September 21 required hospital treatment, as the assailants beat women, children and the elderly while police shockingly ignored their pleas for help. The mob attacked and beat three Christian families with sticks, vandalized their homes and threatened to expel them from the village because they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. Local officials also later pressured the families to recant their faith. Salam, age 24, said, “We have been following Jesus for the last 10 years. The villagers told us to either return to the Hindu fold or leave the village.”  Here at The Worldview we celebrate their bold faith. In Romans 8:38-39, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Join me and send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Indian Ambassador to America, Vinay Kwatra, urging him to speak up for the right of Christians to practice their faith without being harassed and beaten. Send it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008. Halloween horror at U.S. stock market The entire U.S. stock market looked like a house of Halloween horrors on October 30th, driven by rapidly sinking tech stocks tied to the swelling Artificial Intelligence bubble, reports Futurism.com. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 — home of major AI stocks like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft Corp, and Amazon — was down 2.6 percent, well on track for a $1 trillion drop, as NBC News observed. Losses were pushed by Amazon, which shed about two percent when trading opened Friday morning. In particular, Amazon’s capital expenditures for 2026 ballooned to $220 billion, much of which is tied to Artificial Intelligence. Friday’s bloodbath comes after shares for Google’s parent company Alphabet — a major bellwether for the Artificial Intelligence trade — plummeted by over 12.6 percent on Thursday. It was the company’s worst single trading day ever, and the second-largest single day wipe out of any company’s stock in history, obliterating over $500 billion worth of market value. The motion is all stoking fears of a bursting AI bubble, as trillions of dollars remain tied up in just a few top AI companies. Pollster discussed Michigan and Texas Senate races Matt Towery, a former Republican Georgia State Rep, founded InsiderAdvantage polling firm. In late 2014, he encouraged Donald Trump to run for the U.S. presidency, suggesting he would be a serious contender.  His polls were among the few to call the 2016 presidential race for Trump over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Appearing on The Joe Pags Show, heard on 180 stations, he explained that the Democrat candidates do not have as much of a lead as the legacy media has been claiming. He referenced the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Mike Rogers and his leftist Muslim Democratic challenger, Abdul El-Sayed. TOWERY: “What they're doing in Michigan is they're assuming that all Democrats are voting Democrat. And we're not seeing that. We're seeing a certain percentage split off. African-Americans, by the way, you got two groups of African-Americans up there. You've got very devout Christian African-Americans who I don't think are voting for El Sayed. You also have a Black Muslim population who is voting for El-Sayed. Also, there are different Arab groups in Michigan. There are some that don't like the Muslim Brotherhood at all.” Towery also touched on the U.S. Senate race in Texas between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. TOWERY: “The race in Texas is extremely close. If Republicans turn out in presidential year numbers on Election Day, it's not insurmountable. But none of these races are four and five and seven points. Talarico is not leading by something like that. Ken Paxton has had to fight his way back up. Republicans need to close ranks like the Democrats do. Then you'll see a Democratic defeat, and you'll see a Republican senator from Texas.” Unemployment lowest since 1960s & Trump’s inflation rate half of Biden’s Matt Towery, who has written a newly released book entitled The Honoring of Ignorance: The 7 Mirages Destroying America, expressed his frustration with Republicans who wait too late to get their message out. TOWERY: “The one thing the Republicans don't do is they don't advertise in May and June and tell people the good news. For example, that unemployment's the lowest it's been since the 1960s, that people have more disposable income, that inflation is half of what it was under Joe Biden under his midterm. If we had run those ads and also an ad explaining why Iran was necessary, I don't think we'd be even looking at close races right now. “These consultants who run these campaigns want to stack all of their ads at the end when they get lowest unit rate. They don't want to spend the money in May and June to get their candidates' records out. I mean, we should be running ads every week, updating people with the news that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNow would not let the public see. If we could do that, we wouldn't have the president's approval rating where it is, and we wouldn't be having to fight at the last minute. These Republicans would be blowing the doors off of these candidates because they're terrible candidates.” He urged people with traditional values to cast their vote on Election Day tomorrow. TOWERY: “What we have to have are those people in the middle who care about their children and their grandchildren to go out and vote in a big way. Because if they don't, these races, which are close, are going to go to the Democrats.” 3 Biblical principles to guide your vote And finally, as we look toward Election Day tomorrow, if you have not yet voted, here are three Biblical principles that should guide your choices. Christians are called to stand for righteousness and biblical values. Proverbs 14:34 says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” God cares about the moral direction of a nation. Christians should support leaders and policies that promote righteousness, justice, honesty, and the protection of human dignity. We should not remain silent when we have an opportunity to stand for what is right with our vote, even when the culture stands for something different. Christians are called to be responsible citizens and influence our nation. Matthew 5:13-14 says, “You are the salt of the Earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.” Jesus calls believers to be salt and light in this world. We should not withdraw from society, but positively influence it. Voting gives Christians an opportunity to participate in decisions that affect families and communities. Christians are called to protect future generations and advocate for others. Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Christians should care about the vulnerable, the babies in the womb, the children, families, the poor, and those who are oppressed. Voting is one way to use our voice to advocate for those who need protection and justice. Proverbs 29:2 says it best: “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Vote for the righteous. And vote against the wicked.

    Alaskan Democrats attempting to defraud voters; Actor Patrick Stewart died; 60 Christians killed in Ethiopia, Africa; Christian singer Guy Penrod faces health crisis

    It’s Friday, October 30th, 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 60 Christians killed in Ethiopia, Africa At least 60 Orthodox Christians were killed during two recent attacks in Ethiopia, reports International Christian Concern.   According to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s Holy Synod, 14 people were killed on October 20 in the Merti district, and an additional 46 were killed on October 24 in the Shirka district. The church also reported that more than 20 people were seriously wounded and 20 homes were burned down. Hailu Adugna, a spokesperson for the Oromia regional government, said that he believes the Oromo Liberation Army is responsible for the attacks. He reportedly accused them of trying to provoke ethnic and religious conflict to divert attention from their military losses in the north.  Investigators with the United Nations have accused the group of rapes, kidnappings, and killings. Other entities have documented government forces conducting disappearances, indiscriminate drone strikes, and extrajudicial killings.  The Oromo Liberation Army is part of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival — seven groups that formed in September to oust Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government. According to Open Doors, Ethiopia, Africa is the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Join me and write a polite 4-sentence note to the Ethiopian Ambassador to America, Binalf Ashenef, urging him to use his influence to protect Christians. Send it to the Ethiopian Embassy, 3506 International Drive NW, Washington, DC 20008. Alaskan Democrats attempting to defraud voters The election has gotten crazy in Alaska. Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan is being challenged by Democrat Mary Peltola and an independent named Dan J. Sullivan. According to a New York Times investigative article, the independent Dan J. Sullivan was actually recruited by the Democrats to run in order to confuse the Alaskan voters who might think they were actually voting for the Republican incumbent. At a press availability at Joint Base Andrews on October 28th, President Donald Trump said this. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: “They took a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against another candidate who's a great senator named Dan Sullivan in order to cheat in the election.  They said they didn't do it, and we caught ‘em cold. “Mary Peltola should resign from the race. I think she should be prosecuted criminally for what she did. And I think that the people that participated with her should. “They swore in all statements that they knew nothing about it. … It turned out it was a scheme by the Democrats. That's what they do best. They cheat. They have bad policy, but they cheat. “It's a fraud to the public. … They had a Dan Sullivan running against Senator Dan Sullivan.  And they didn’t put Senator in front. So you had two Dan Sullivans. The people aren't going to be able to tell. … It was a plot by the Democrat Party. … “I think the fake Dan Sullivan, and Mary Peltola should — number one, they should be taken off the ballot. And number two, they should be prosecuted.” Army General fired over possible leak of classified information Army Lt. General Brett Sylvia had been abruptly removed from his job as director for strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reports the Washington Post. The Pentagon said Thursday that it has made a criminal referral in an alleged leak case, claiming the ouster of a top general was necessary “to protect sensitive information.” The unusual announcement followed reports by The Washington Post that in that role he reported to General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. In a statement on Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that the War Department has “zero tolerance for the intentional, unauthorized disclosure of classified information” and that following an “extensive” internal investigation, the matter — “along with others” — had been referred to the Justice Department “for potential legal action.” Actor Patrick Stewart died at 86 Do you recognize this voice? PATRICK STEWART: “But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again.” English actor Patrick Stewart, best known for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” died on October 28th at the age of 86. Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Stewart died in Los Angeles after having battled Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body Dementia, reports the Associated Press. Stewart found a connection between his background as a Shakespearean actor and Picard. In his memoir, he wrote, “There is a formality to the way they speak and comport themselves that remind me of numerous Shakespearean situations I’d been in onstage. I should play Jean Luc, I realized, as if he were a character in ‘Henry IV,’ which is about brave men.” Stewart enjoyed a prolific stage career that included a one-man rendition of “A Christmas Carol.” On his Instagram account, which has 1.7 million followers, he recorded all 154 of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. His inspiration was Sunny, his 48-year-old wife. STEWART: “The idea of creating an audio edition of Shakespeare sonnets came about somewhat grimly as a result of the COVID pandemic. Sunny asked me how I would feel recording a different sonnet every morning for social media. “After taking a deep breath, I hesitatingly replied, ‘Doing so could be very nice.’ Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? “I am not much of a social media man, but as we talked, I began to feel Sunny's idea might, in fact, be an unexpected and excellent response to the misery of COVID. And to my astonishment, it was.” Christian singer Guy Penrod faces health crisis And finally, Gospel singer Guy Penrod is asking for prayers as he faces a serious health diagnosis, reports The Christian Post. Penrod appeared on an episode of the "JustWhenever" podcast on October 26th, hosted by his former bandmate Mark Lowry. Both Penrod and Lowry were members of the Gaither Vocal Band, a Christian music group. LOWRY: “You say you're going through some health issues that we're not going to talk about, but what's God been teaching you through all this?” PENROD: “Life's short. I repeat James a lot. ‘Life is but a vapor. It's here for a little while and vanishes away.’ [James 4:14] “Don't hold a grudge. You say, ‘Bitter? Party of one.’" LOWRY: (Laughs) PENROD: “Yeah, you know, we've tried to slow some things down and be intentional.” LOWRY: “Well, how can people pray for you?” PENROD: “It's serious. There's only one potential fix for it, and it's a bone marrow transplant. It's blood stuff in the bones. I'm not the guy that likes to hide away, for the most part. You know, the trouble or difficulty that we're going through. I'd just as soon have a team of warriors like you, praying and calling God, and bringing my name up to Him.” LOWRY: “Well, what if we pray right now and ask the Lord if He would touch and heal our brother Guy? “Father, thank you so much for Guy Penrod. Thank you for all He has meant to my life all these years. Lord, You know more than the doctors do about his situation, and nothing ever takes You by surprise. Father, will You touch Your son and heal him from the top of his head to the sole of his feet? Lord, would You fix whatever needs to be fixed? Would you guide the doctors' minds? Would You give them supernatural wisdom? Touch Guy, Lord Jesus.” Join me and send a 3-sentence get well card to Guy Penrod, c/o A to Z Entertainment, 724 Hall of Fame Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37915. James 5:15 declares, “The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, October 30th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
