It's Friday, February 21st. This is the world and everything in it from listener supported World Radio. I'm Irna Brown.
- [00:45]
Nick Eicher
And I'm Nick Eicher. Good morning.

Irna Brown
Time for news now with Kent Covington.
- [00:52]
Kent Covington
The Senate on Thursday voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI director.
- [00:57]
Katie McCoy
The yeas are 51, the nays are 49.
- [01:01]
Nick Eicher
The confirmation is confirmed.
- [01:03]
Kent Covington
It was a largely party line vote, though two moderate Republicans joined all Democrats in voting no. Patel is a former Justice Department prosecutor who focused on terrorism cases. He also served on the White House National Security Council during Trump's first term. Critics, though, note that he lacks traditional law enforcement experience. White House National Security adviser Mike Waltz says despite a public rift between President Trump and Ukrainian President President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine is very much a part of ongoing talks to bring peace to the war ravaged country.
- [01:39]
Nick Eicher
I've been talking to his national security.
- [01:42]
Kent Covington
Adviser, Zelenskyy's national security adviser, on a regular basis. We just mentioned the meetings both Secretary.
- [01:48]
Nick Eicher
Of State and Vice President Vance have had with him. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg is out there literally right now.
- [01:56]
Kent Covington
Kellogg met with Zelenskyy and other top leaders in Kyiv on Thursday, telling Ukraine's president that he understands his country's need for security guarantees. Kellogg's meeting came once again amid that friction between Presidents Trump and Zelensky. Trump recently blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion and referred to Zelensky as a dictator. Those remarks drew condemnation in Washington from Democrats and pushback from some Republicans. But aboard Air Force One, Trump shared some of his frustrations regarding Zelenskyy's government.
- [02:28]
Nick Eicher
We don't get our money back and.
- [02:32]
Kent Covington
We told them that the dealers will do something for the rare earth and some oil, etc.
- [02:36]
Colin Garbarino
Etc.

Kent Covington
Trump says he wanted to rebuild certain infrastructure in Ukraine and then partner with the country on things like aluminum production and producing rare earth minerals. The US Would own a stake in the mineral rights. That Trump said would benefit Ukraine while also recouping some U.S. tax dollars. But he added that when the U.S. treasury Secretary traveled to Kyiv, Secretary Scott Besant was treated rather rudely because essentially they told him no. And Zelenskyy was sleeping and unavailable to meet him. He traveled many hours on the train, which is a dangerous trip. Zelenskyy said the US Proposal did not go far enough in providing security guarantees. That angered President Trump, who noted that a portion of European aid for Ukraine was sent with the expectation of repayment, Whereas all prior U.S. assistance during the war was given outright. Also on Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order that aims to cut federal funding for benefits that support illegal immigrants. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that current benefits for those in the country illegally over the next 10 years would include more than $175 billion for Obamacare, Medicaid, tax credits and food stamps. Border czar Tom Homan these billions of.
- [03:52]
Nick Eicher
Dollars we're going to save that illegal aliens shouldn't be getting. They can help rebuild North Carolina. There's a lot of things we can do for American citizens, the homeless, vets.
- [04:00]
Kent Covington
All departments and agencies are now directed to identify any program that provides financial benefits to illegal migrants. The order also mandates improvements in welfare eligibility verification the Israeli military says a body released by Hamas is not that of an Israeli mother that the terror group claims died in captiv. The terror group sent four caskets to Israel on Thursday. It was said that three of them contained members of the Bebus family, a young mother and her two small children. The bodies of four year old Ariel and nine month old Kfir Bibis were returned, but the remains of their mother Shiri bibis were not. Dr. Chen Kugel with the Israeli Health Ministry Since October 7, 2023, the team of the Israel national center of Forensic Medicine is dedicating itself to identifying all October 7th victim victims and thus provide closure for the families and proper burial. The body of 83 year old Oded Lifshidz was also identified, but the fourth body was not Shiri and could not be identified as any known hostage. Israel is demanding that Hamas return Shiri's remains. Officials in the Congo are investigating the brutal execution of 70 Christians. World's Kristin Flavin has more Militants from.
- [05:21]
Colin Garbarino
A group with ties to ISIS kidnapped the Christians from a village in the country's northeast. Authorities later found their bodies beheaded in an abandoned church. The militant group called the Allied Democratic Forces has launched numerous attacks against Christians, peacekeeping forces and aid workers. Violence in the region has forced many churches, schools and health centers to close. The president of International Christian Concern, Jeff King, is calling for an all Africa military force to step in and restore order in the Congo. For World I'm Kristen Flavin.

Kent Covington
And I'm Kent Covington straight ahead. Katie McCoy is back for Culture Friday. Plus, a film about a frail child with an unbreakable spirit. This is the WORLD and Everything in it.
- [06:32]
Irna Brown
It's Friday, 21st February. Glad to have you along for today's edition of the World and Everything In It.
- [06:39]
Nick Eicher
Good morning, Imyrna Brown, and I'm Nick Iker. It is Culture Friday and joining us is author and speaker Katie McCoy. Katie, hey, it's great having all the girls together.
- [06:52]
Colin Garbarino
I'm glad to know that you've gotten over that moment.
- [06:54]
Nick Eicher
Nick, I don't think I'm ever gonna get over it. But we need to get down to business here. And I wanna begin with Vice President J.D. vance, who appeared at CPAC yesterday. He gave a really stout defense of the speech that he gave a in Germany. People still talking about that. He spoke last week around this same time at the Munich Security Conference. He took aim at Europe. He accused nations like Germany of adopting what he calls a Soviet style grip on free speech. Here's a short bit of what he had to say over there.
- [07:32]
Kent Covington
The threat that I worry the most.
- [07:34]
Nick Eicher
About vis a vis Europe is the.
- [07:36]
Kent Covington
Threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.
- [07:43]
Nick Eicher
Values shared with the United States of America. For years, we've been told that everything.
- [07:49]
Kent Covington
We fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values.
- [07:54]
Nick Eicher
Okay. So by the weekend, CBS was seemingly making Vance's point for him. 60 Minutes we had a video of German police raiding homes, more than 50 in a single day, seizing laptops and phones, enforcing the German hate speech law. Let's have a listen to this.
- [08:16]
Colin Garbarino
It's 6:01 on a Tuesday morning and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany. Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home. Part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany. What's the typical reaction when the police show up at somebody's door in Germany? We say, das witt moel molsuch mal sagen durfen.
- [08:45]
Kent Covington
So we are here with crimes of talking, posting in Internet.
- [08:49]
Colin Garbarino
They don't think it was illegal.
- [08:50]
Kent Covington
No, they don't think it was illegal. And they say, no, that's my free speech.
- [08:55]
Irna Brown
And we say no.
- [08:56]
Kent Covington
Yeah, free speech as well. But it also has its limits.
- [09:00]
Nick Eicher
Okay. So earlier in the day, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan is interviewing Secretary of State Marco Rubio. She frames up a question to him in crazy way outright saying that Nazis once weaponized free speech in the service of their genocidal aim So I wonder, Katie, where the line is between free speech and hate speech, and who gets to draw the line? Do you think that Germany's approach kind of exposes a cultural divide with America's First Amendment ethos? And what does the Christian worldview have to say about this?
- [09:38]
Colin Garbarino
Well, anybody who's been watching Face the Nation since the inauguration knows Margaret Brennan has just been having a little bit of a tough time. You know, she's not the first to slip into this fallacy. Things that people don't often know about is the lead up to what we associate with World War II and the Nazi regime, that they didn't fall into this. There was a gradual descent and part of that involved. In 1922, it was the Weimar Republic, actually, that tried to censor the Nazis, the emerging Nazi party. And it had the opposite effect. It was known as the Weimar Fallacy. Another thing that Margaret Brennan. This is kind of an embarrassing cultural revisionist history is that Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister, took over all media, all print, all radio, everything in about the mid-30s that had to be approved by the state, and any journalist that didn't comply was sent to a concentration camp. So it's a little mystifying that she either willfully or ignorantly made this statement. Consider some of the headlines coming out of Europe in just the last probably two or three years. You might remember the hate speech legislation coming out of Ireland, where it was criminalizing all hate speech, but didn't bother to define what that hate speech was. And it was the type of thing that we could see right away where Christians could easily be prosecuted. In Finland, that actually is happening. A longtime member of the Finnish parliament, Paivi Rasanen, was tried for hate speech because she pointed out scriptures teaching on homosexuality after the church in Finland was publicly supporting a pride event. And she was charged under what was called agitation of a minority group under the section of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity. According to the Finnish Criminal Code, in Britain, just in the last year, a man was convicted of praying near an abortion clinic. It was essentially a thought crime, and that's what Vice President Vance had highlighted. So the reality is when you move more and more to the left or to the extreme right, but we see this more typically on the extreme left. It requires censorship in order to work, and you have to censor and stamp out everything that does not align with the political narrative. So not only is Margaret just having a bit of a moment with history, she's just factually wrong.

Irna Brown
Katie Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Has been health secretary for just a week. But his mere presence is provoking lots of debate. When he was sworn in a week ago, he gave a very moving speech saying a healthy person has 1000 dreams, a sick person only has one. Kennedy continued describing what he called a breathtaking epidemic of chronic illness that is disabling our people. 60% of our population has only one dream, that they get better. Now, Kennedy argued that this deeper spiritual alienation is what drives also the chronic disease epidemic and the epidemics we're seeing of depression, of suicide, of alcoholism, of drug addiction. Katie, I know a lot of pro lifers are concerned by RFK's pro abortion advocacy, but could he be onto something?
- [13:30]
Colin Garbarino
Very much. Very much. In fact, there's research linking loneliness and isolation to greater risk of heart disease and stroke. Last fall there was a study from Harvard university that surveyed 18 to 25 year olds. Now, when you think 18 to 25, this is college right out of college. This is the time of relatively low responsibility and kind of when the world should be your oyster. You're dreaming big and you're going for all your ventures when you're young and full of idealism. But here's what this study found. It found that among 18 to 25 year olds, nearly three in five of them, 58%, reported that they lacked meaning or purpose. Another significant portion of them said that they felt on edge, lonely, directionless, that they're trying to achieve, just to achieve, but they don't really know what they're aiming for. Another 45% of young adults reported a general sense that things are just falling apart. And about the same number said that they had a sense of just not mattering to others. This is a significant spiritual and emotional health issue. It's also significant, Myrna, when we're talking about it from here, a biblically shaped worldview, that this is the first generation Gen Z to grow up in a truly post Christian culture. They don't have categories like what happens after death. They don't have categories to understand purpose and meaning and with that too on far less existential things. But they don't have categories to understand the meaning of the importance of family, of work. We have a generation launching into the world that they're asking some major existential questions with little more than their feelings to guide them. And that is a major health issue.

Nick Eicher
Well, Katie, if you don't live on social media, you may not know who Ashley St. Clair is. She's a 26 year old conservative influencer. She recently revealed as in this week she revealed that she had given birth to the 13th child of Elon Musk five months ago. Allegedly. Now, St. Clair claims that she kept it private for the sake of the child until tabloid pressure forced her hand. When I saw this online, Katie, I suggested that World Opinions tap our other Katie around here, Katie Faust, to write on the subject, and she did. We titled her piece the Cost of Conservative Hypocrisy. In the piece, she calls out conservatives who champion traditional family values, yet cheer or at best are keeping their silence when allies break them. Now, I saw some conservative personalities offering congratulations, and of course, let's all agree a baby born is clearly preferable to a baby not born. And I found it discouraging to see that reaction. I know you did, too. We talked about this ahead of time. But what would have been the encouraging response, Katie? The proper Christian response?
- [16:44]
Colin Garbarino
Yeah. Whenever something like this happens, it seems like there's always a false dichotomy right on the heels of the news. And in this case, the false dichotomy was either congratulations or contempt. And I think the way that we are called to respond to issues like this is compassion. So neither congratulating or having contempt, but compassion. And that's exactly what Katie Faust's article does. She's the goat on things like this. And so she might be the other Katie here, but I want to be Katie Faust when I grow up. So Katie Faust's article talks about compassion for the child, compassion for single mothers who disproportionately are burdened by the effects of raising a child on their own, compassion for this next generation who are looking for something real and consistent. And, you know, it isn't compassionate. It's actually quite cruel when we brush these things under the rug, when we don't apply the same moral rubric because it fits our partisan politics. And you know, Nick, this reminds me of that passage in Romans that we know so well. We think of worldliness oftentimes in terms of morality. And while we should, it's very important. But we don't often think about worldliness in the sense of the degree to which we reflect the world. And one of the ways that we as God's people are at great risk liability of reflecting the world is when we allow the political partisan culture that we're living in to affect our relationship with truth rather than the other way around. Romans 12 tells us not to be conformed to this world, but to be renewed in our minds. And a big liability for us is that we would allow our political tribe to shape our convictions or at least how we express them. You know, today we're talking about something related to single mothers, to children outside of marriage. But this applies to every aspect of our public life and culture. And that is something that the world obviously sees. Now, how do we do that? How do we sort of thread this needle and have genuine compassion, Compassion that has the courage to say what is uncomfortable in a way that is loving? We need wisdom. And one of the best passages in scripture on wisdom comes from James 3. James 3 says, the wisdom from above. God's wisdom is full of mercy and is without partiality. And that's what we need. We need the wisdom from God that has mercy for people that are affected by sinful choices and also is without partiality. This is where we have the opportunity to be salt and light, to represent another king from another kingdom and to demonstrate that our citizenship truly is in heaven.
- [19:41]
Irna Brown
Right. Well, speaking of conservative hypocrisy and you know, we're running out of time, but I do want to bring this up. I continue to be alarmed by the positive attention given to the dreadful and probable criminal Andrew Tate. Evidently, the Trump administration is pressuring Romania to ease travel restrictions for Andrew and his brother, Tristan Tate. You know, these guys are facing serious charges of human trafficking and sexual misconduct. Romania, though, is holding firm, insisting their courts will decide, not foreign influence. Katie, does the Trump White House really want to elevate these guys?
- [20:27]
Colin Garbarino
I hope they don't. My goodness. You know, here we are talking about the need to be impartial. I certainly hope that Andrew Tate is brought to full justice according to the law. And this is an opportunity, again, for us as believers to say that while we are very grateful for many of the policies that President Trump and his administration are enacting, for the White House to advocate that credibly accused predators would not be brought to justice is just wrong. And we, we need to be able to say that no matter who is in the White House, no matter who is in office.
- [21:04]
Irna Brown
All right. Author and Speaker Katie McCoy. Enjoy the visit. Thanks, Katie.

And I'm Nick Eicher. Next up on the World and everything in it, another faith based movie hits the big screen. Zachary Levi is the rare actor who's achieved success in both mainstream Hollywood and faith based films. His big break came when he landed the title role in the action comedy TV series Chuck. His film credits include appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he starred in two DC comic book movies as the superhero Shazam.
- [22:56]
Irna Brown
But in 2021, the action star took on a different kind of role in the film American Underdog. That was the true story of NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, an outspoken Christian. Levi said P.L. warner bolstered his own faith. Now he stars in another faith based movie from the same studios. Here's World Arts and Culture editor Colin Garbarino to tell you about it.
- [23:24]
Katie McCoy
The Unbreakable Boy tells the true story of Scott Larette and his son Austin, an autistic boy with a rare brittle bone disorder who shows his father a new way to see the world.
- [23:34]
Nick Eicher
Are you with us Austin?
- [23:37]
Colin Garbarino
I think his brain's on another planet. Tyler Nope, my brain is right here in my head.
- [23:42]
Katie McCoy
On Earth, Austin serves as the narrator, guiding the audience through the family's milestones and dozens of broken bones. The story begins when his parents, Scott and Teresa, played by Zachary Levi and Megan Fahey, first meet in a clothing store. They make a cute couple, but the story takes an unexpected turn for a faith based movie. After just a few dates, Teresa becomes pregnant, and though she and Scott don't really know each other, they move in together to try to make it work. Austin's birth and the challenges of his condition add to the couple's stress. This is just not what I thought he was going to be like. You know, I feel like I'm failing every day and the harder I try, the worse I do. Austin has a fragile constitution, but as one would expect in an uplifting movie, he possesses a joyful and optimistic perspective. We see his optimism and joy confront the world's cruelty and cynicism. Worried parents are comforted, bullies become friends, and doubters gain certainty. But these typical elements of the genre aren't the focus of the movie. It's primarily about Scott, and Austin serves as the catalyst for his father's transformation. I wish I could enjoy anything as much as my son enjoys everything. Before Austin's birth, Scott is an ambitious man who hopes to escape the Midwest, but his unplanned family requires him to put his career goals on hold. Scott genuinely loves Teresa and his two sons, little brother Logan comes along shortly after Austin, but he's struggling, feeling like he's lost control of his life. Scott starts abusing alcohol to cope, and doing so makes a difficult situation impossible for Teresa and the boys. You didn't pay these. You didn't pay any of these.

Colin Garbarino
I've been trying to keep up, but with the surgeries and the therapy and the medication, I had no choice.
- [25:37]
Katie McCoy
Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company are the studios behind the movie, and their faith based films tend toward a higher quality than is typical. The young actors give believable and endearing performances. Levi's portrayal of Scott possesses a suggestion of the man child, a quality he brings to many of his roles. But he's also able to play the character with real feeling. Levi and Fahey have undeniable chemistry, and it's Fahey's powerful portrayal of the broken yet tenacious Teresa that holds the film together.
- [26:06]
Colin Garbarino
Scott.
- [26:08]
Katie McCoy
What? I'm going golfing.
- [26:09]
Colin Garbarino
No, you're coming to church. We need to do family things, especially now.
- [26:13]
Katie McCoy
It's encouraging to see on screen depictions of church attendance as a normal part of life, but the Christian message remains mostly in the background. During hard times, we see church members rally around the family, though Scott, in his pain, rebuffs the comfort they offer.
- [26:27]
Kent Covington
Good to see you.
- [26:29]
Colin Garbarino
Listen, look, I just wanted to say.
- [26:33]
Kent Covington
If you need anything, okay? Anything.
- [26:35]
Katie McCoy
Yeah.
- [26:35]
Irna Brown
Okay.
- [26:36]
Katie McCoy
I could use a favor.
- [26:37]
Kent Covington
Tell God that if he feels the.
- [26:39]
Katie McCoy
Need to punish someone, that that someone should be me, because I can handle it and I probably even deserve it. There's some talk of belief in God, though it's of the vague variety found at Alcoholics Anonymous. In these moments, the dialogue gets a little awkward. It's as though the filmmakers struggled to craft scenes that could appeal to general audiences, getting the message across without getting preachy. Though the film doesn't contain a gospel presentation or an explicit moment of conversion, it possesses ample grace in the person of Austin. The unbreakable boy becomes something of a Christ figure in the movie. His birth is unexpected. The world doesn't understand him, but he offers unconditional love and kindness. And because of his indomitable spirit housed in a broken body, those around him experience healing and restoration. I want to be more like my son. Scott's desire to become more like Austin becomes something of a metaphor for Christians who seek to grow in Christlikeness. I'm Colin Garbarino.

Today is Friday, February 21st. Good morning. This is the world and everything in it from listener supported World Radio.

Irna Brown
I'm Nick Iger and I'm Myrna Brown. Before we end the week, we've got just a bit more from our recent conversation with Kathryn Wheeler, the obgyn who conducted about 20 abortions during her career. Nearly all of them were due to fetal abnormalities. As an obstetrician serving the fairly conservative region of Salt Lake City, Utah, Wheeler says she didn't believe in elective abortions.
- [28:34]
Kathryn Wheeler
I didn't understand abortions in that situation. I just couldn't understand it, not in a judgmental way, but I knew that people could come along and support like they did me.
- [28:45]
Irna Brown
She said that her limited support for abortion was only possible because she didn't actually consider consider what was happening during the procedure. In Wednesday's segment, we heard the story of her final abortion and how she believes God removed the scales from her eyes, allowing her to see clearly the evil of abortion. What we didn't include was how God used another medical worker's convictions to set the stage for that revelation.
- [29:14]
Kathryn Wheeler
I showed up one day and an anesthesiologist who thought that this was a woman who was miscarrying looked and saw actually it was not. It was an abortion.
- [29:24]
Irna Brown
The anesthesiologist put his foot down and refused to assist in the case because nobody told him this was an abortion.
- [29:33]
Kathryn Wheeler
And so that opens something for me that a doctor, actually, it's okay to say no. And I thought, you know, maybe this isn't a good thing to be doing at this little community hospital.
- [29:44]
Irna Brown
Her days of providing abortions were numbered. Now Pro Life Physician Dr. Wheeler speaks often about how abortion harms men as well as women.
- [29:55]
Kathryn Wheeler
I have such a heart for men mostly because I've started to hear their stories. And for men, they were told this narrative. Instead of being a protector and a supporter and a caring father, husband, they've been given this other narrative. You have to shut up. And I don't know what that's done to men, but it has not done good things. And my heart just bleeds for him.
- [30:18]
Irna Brown
Dr. Wheeler remembers visiting a pregnancy center in Spokane, Washington, and we were putting.
- [30:24]
Kathryn Wheeler
Roses on a fence on a Memorial Day and a man stopped to talk and he's just crying about, I mean, it's probably been 50 years and he's crying about the baby he lost. I'm like, wow, never thought about that affecting men. So many men come up and talk to me and some of them have lost babies and some of them are crying because they were going to do an abortion. And then they saw the baby and because they got to see a baby on ultrasound, he has a child.
- [30:53]
Irna Brown
Dr. Wheeler encourages men in a couple ways. First, to seek healing, avoid suppressing the grief of participating in an abortion.
- [31:02]
Kathryn Wheeler
But secondly, step in there and be the person you are. Your voice is incredibly powerful. Just come alongside any woman who's suffering from something frightening, as frightening as being abandoned and pregnant. Any male voice is, I think, incredibly important. So, you know, whether it's a friend or somebody else, just stepping into those roles as a strong person who cares and offering help. And when we see the lies out in the culture, we can't just lay down and let them have the narrative which is harming everybody.
- [31:36]
Irna Brown
Dr. Katherine Wheeler told us her story after this year's March for Life. We've included a link to Wednesday's interview in our transcript and show notes.

The world and everything in it comes to you from World Radio. World's mission is biblically objective journalism that informs, educates and inspires. The Bible records that someone in the crowd said to Jesus, teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. But he said to him, man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you? And he said to them, take care and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Verses 13 through 15 of Luke, chapter 12. The Scriptures say to gather together to worship the Lord. Remember to do that this Lord's day. And Lord willing, we'll meet you right back here on Monday. Go now in grace and peace.
