John Stonestreet is standing by for Culture Friday. Also today, world music critic Arsenio Ortezza on the surprising sophomore album of a longtime music PR man and the pun icon whose gospel song might make you smile. Later, wordsmith George Grant on why English plurals are enough to make your head spin.

George Grant
The plural of mouse is mice. The plural of goose is geese. The plural of louse is lice, but the plural of moose is not mees.

White smoke billowed from a chimney at the Vatican's Sistine Chapel on Thursday, drawing cheers from a crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square and signaling to the world that the Catholic Church has a new pope. He is Robert Prevost from the United States, who becomes the first American pope in history to lead the church of some 1.4 billion. In his first words as successor to the late Pope Francis, he addressed the crowd in Italian, one of five languages he speaks, emphasizing peace, dialogue and evangelizing through missionary work.

Arsenio Orteza
God loves everyone. Evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God.

The 69 year old Chicago born missionary took the name Leo XIV. The new pontiff is also a citizen of Peru, where he lived for years, first as a missionary and later as an archbishop. He was elevated to the senior ranks of cardinals in January. And U.S. officials were quick to congratulate Pope Leo. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce read a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a devout Catholic.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to His.

- [02:49]
Kent Covington
Great honor, he said. The White House and the Vatican have already begun discussing a meeting between the president and the new pope. Hours earlier inside the White House, the president announced a new trade deal with the UK Calling it the first of many deals to come.
- [03:03]
Arsenio Orteza
With this deal, the UK Joins the.
- [03:05]
Nick Iker
United States in affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade.
- [03:14]
Kent Covington
He said the agreement will reduce non tariff barriers that, in his words, have unfairly discriminated against American products. He added that the deal will dramatically increase access to the UK Market for American agriculture products, including beef and ethanol. Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined the president by speakerphone for the Oval Office announcement.
- [03:34]
Nick Iker
Really important deal.
- [03:35]
George Grant
This is going to boost trade between and across our countries. It's going to not only protect jobs, but create jobs.
- [03:43]
Kent Covington
The UK says the deal will cut tariffs on British cars from 27.5% to 10% and eliminate tariffs on steel and aluminum. And this weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant will lead a delegation in Switzerland for talks with top Chinese trade officials. Trump said he expects substantive talks.
- [04:03]
Arsenio Orteza
We'd like to see China opened up so we can compete in China and, you know, give people something that they've.

Trump said he believes Beijing wants to make a deal and that it has a lot to gain by doing so. The New York Post is reporting that the Trump administration is weighing a plan to slash the 145% tariff on Chinese imports by more than half, effective as soon as next week. And the Trump administration is still trying to negotiate a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Vice President J.D. vance said Thursday that any agreement must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty.

John Stonestreet
I actually think it's progress that they're.

May continue to be an uphill climb. Ukraine has already accused Russia of violating its own self imposed ceasefire. This week. Vladimir Putin promised not to launch any attacks on Ukraine for 72 hours amid victory day in Europe celebrations. But Ukrainian officials say Russian forces dropped guided air bombs onto Homs in Ukraine's Sumy region yesterday, killing at least one person. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the administration is proposing a multi billion dollar overhaul to the US Air traffic control system in the wake of recent deadly plane crashes and technical failures. Duffy says the plan will be challenging, but for aviation professionals and the flying public, it is critical to upgrade an outdated system to actually deliver an air traffic control system that's going to keep them safe. The second have them delayed for four.
- [05:48]
George Grant
Hours or their flights cancelled, a system.
- [05:50]
Nick Iker
That works for them.
- [05:52]
Kent Covington
The plan calls for six new air traffic control centers along with technology upgrades at all air traffic facilities, officials want to add fiber, wireless and satellite technology at thousands of locations, replace radars and increase the number of airports with systems designed to reduce near misses on runways. No word yet on an exact price tag. I'm Kent Covington. And straight ahead, John Stonestreet and Culture Friday Wordplay with George Grant. This is the WORLD and Everything in it.

Nick Iker
Well, this week a Pulitzer Prize went to ProPublica for a story claiming that pro life laws are causing doctors to let pregnant women die because the doctors are afraid they will be prosecuted under pro life laws. Now, this article that ProPublica did made national headlines and even shaped talking points during the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, her unsuccessful effort to become president. But is that prize winning story true? World published a very strong, very detailed rebuttal by Leah Savis when the piece first came out last year. And now that ProPublica's misleading story has been honored as public service journalism, we consider it vital to revisit specifically what ProPublica got wrong and what's actually happening in states with strong pro life protections. Now, as a spoiler, I can say doctors are indeed still treating women. The law still does allow doctors to treat them, and these scary stories about women not being treated are not what they seem. So, John, the doctors that Leah spoke to in her reporting say they have no hesitation about treating complications like miscarriage or sepsis. But the media narrative is that doctors are paralyzed by fear. And as narrative, you could say that worked. But journalism isn't supposed to work that way. It's supposed to tell the truth. I think we did our part on truth telling, but what do you think is the part of pro life activists when stories like this come up?
- [08:40]
John Stonestreet
Well, I think a big part is not to believe this narrative of inevitability, which is the overarching narrative that drives progressive ideas and always has, that this is the way the culture is inevitably headed and whatever takes us further that way then is something that can't really be argued against. And that's a really paralyzing thing. I mean, think of how many times, you know, we've been told this is the way that it is. And it turns out that it's not the way that it is. And basically claiming to be on the right side of history is something that no one can ever claim unless you have the bird's eye view of biblical revelation that tells you where history is actually headed overall. But that, to me, is at work behind this. The other thing that I think is at work in this is that when a movement or a set of ideas run out of any fundamental arguments, they run out of any rationale. Then the most effective thing is to sow confusion. And that's really what this journalism is. That's really what the media reports have been. We know that's true from some of the higher profile cases that also made the same claim during the last presidential campaign, which turned out to be exactly not true. It turned out to be none of the details backed the conclusion that was basically announced as settled. And so confusion can take the place of argument in the public imagination. And that's what's happening on the pro abortion side right now. Pro lifers need to commit themselves to a couple things. Number one is never going along with lies and not going along with confusion. We have to continue to bring clarity as much as possible. And this will be an example of that, unfortunately, for a long time, I think.
- [10:18]
Myrna Brown
Well, John, let's talk about a fresh take on how the transgender movement lost cultural ground and what it teaches us about winning the next fight. So writing in World Opinions, Katie Faust argues that it wasn't appeals to religious liberty or free speech that stopped the momentum of the trans movement. It was something deeper and more visceral. Child protection. From Chloe Cole's personal story to swimmer Riley Gaines to parents speaking out, Faust says the trans domino is falling because people finally saw the harm. And now, and she's asking, could the same strategy be key to restoring marriage? So here's the question, John. Do you agree with Katie Faust that child centered arguments, not appeals to religious liberty, turn the cultural tide on transgender ideology?
- [11:16]
John Stonestreet
You ask me whether or not I agree with Katie Faust. To disagree with Katie Faust is a scary prospect indeed. But she and I have had this conversation on a number of levels, so I'm happy to. To speak into it. There's no question that the personal stories of harm, primarily to minors or to young women, were the things that made everyone go, wait a minute, I did not sign up for that. That went too far. I think one of the differences here is that the harm is obvious. But I also think, too, that there's a little bit here that needs to be corrected. In the take that that basically a group of people got together in a strategy session and said, I know how we'll beat gay marriage. We'll do it through religious lib. Now maybe some thought it was going to be a winning strategy to push back, but my recollection of the events was that we basically faced a fundamental cultural redefinition of love and marriage and its relationship to what it means to us as human beings. And we basically had nothing to stand on. Part of this was the fault of the church not doing Christian worldview. In other words, we talked about how to do marriage, but not really what marriage is. And that's where the whole conversation culturally kind of took us. The conversations about religious liberty on this had much more to do with defense than offense. This wasn't a strategy of trying to push back. This. This was just kind of like Jack Phillips was accused of bigotry and discrimination wrongly and the state went after him for 13 years. There was an attempt to force people to comply. And in that case, what are you going to do? You're either going to not stick with them or you are going to stick with them. Now, should we have been louder and clearer about the inevitable and potential harms to children because of changing and redefining marriage? The answer is absolutely yes. Should more have been done in the child protection arena? I'm with Katie 100%. I'm not going to fault those who stood in the arena and argued based on religious liberty and free speech because that's where the attacks came. That was defense, not offense.
- [13:23]
Nick Iker
So, John, I'd like to follow up on that idea about churches teaching worldview, because that came up in the context of a story that we reported a couple of weeks ago. Last time you were on about what's going on in Colorado. But World reported that the Democratic supermajority in the Colorado Senate just hustled this Kelly Loving act through and it appears that they have stripped out one of the egregious provisions, the custody clause. But the measure does still make so called misgendering and dead naming into civil rights violations statewide. So I want to ask you this because you had a lot to say about larger institutions and larger churches kind of trying to stay above the fray. Did it encourage you at all that more than 700 citizens, many of them parents and pastors, showed up to oppose this bill and possibly even persuaded lawmakers to strip out at least one of the egregious parts of it?
- [14:31]
John Stonestreet
Yeah, I mean it is better that they showed up than if they didn't the cynical side of me wants to say, you know, too little, too late. There was a time to do this, and it was upstream from this kind of crazy language. The stripping out of this egregious child custody clause is certainly it makes it better, but this is deadly. You know, you take out half the cyanide in a poison cocktail, it still might be enough to kill you. And this is enough to establish a beachhead of state power and state control, not to mention establish a lie in the social fabric of the state that will enable all kinds of other evils. You know, once you give up this ground, once you have a state that lies and actually then penalizes others who refuse to lie, or at least to suppress dissent, it's just not clear what comes next. The sad part of me says a whole lot's happened in the last 15 years to get to the point where this many citizens, and we're not even talking about the petitions that were signed and the other official testimony that was given from various influential and powerful people, and basically we got a pat on the head, a push through the House, and now it sits on the desk of Governor Polis. That doesn't bode well for the future of being able to hold the next thing back.
- [15:56]
Myrna Brown
Well, John, before we let you go, there was a small story this week that I'm sure is on pro life radar screens. Evidently the Trump Justice Department took a position identical to the Biden doj. It has to do with a lawsuit by three GOP led states to restrict access to the abortion drug mifepristone. The Trump administration said the judge should toss it out on grounds that the states lack standing. So it's not a pro abortion filing necessarily, but it kind of has the same effect. Does this concern you?
- [16:32]
John Stonestreet
Yeah, it does, really, on a number of levels. I mean, this is kind of the sort of gaslighting that we talked about earlier, which is this about, oh, restricting access to the abortion drug mifepristone? No, it's actually about restoring restrictions that existed prior to Covid. In other words, the Biden administration had so increased access and availability of this. I mean, removing common sense restrictions like a doctor's visit before, a doctor's visit afterwards, needing a prescription, doing it over the phone, mail order, all these things. And that's what these states are pushing back against, and rightly so. So why did the Trump DOJ take the same position as the Biden doj? I think it's one of two things. It's either the fact that during Trump's presidential campaign. He basically said, this is all I'm gonna do on life. I did what I did, which is to remove. And now it's up to the states and we're gonna get out of the way of this. And he specifically, when asked, said he was not gonna do anything about mifepristone and that availability. So he's basically keeping his campaign promise, which wasn't a pro life campaign promise. I mean, we talked about this on this program that really, Trump's language in this was really pro choice. And of course, the Democratic position was full on pro death. The other possibility, and I think about this because of a recent interview with Marty McCarthy Makari of HHS by PBS News where he was asked about this and he said, look, if more data comes in, then I have to take that seriously and follow where the science goes. Well, more data did come in. There was a remarkable study by eppc, the Ethics and Public Policy center, that was the largest look at mifepristone that we've ever seen, using insurance data, which was significant as well, and found that this was indeed harmful for women. And the big principle, principle is this, somebody's not right or wrong because he's our person. People are still under a moral law and they have to be judged by that moral law. And we have a responsibility as Christians to call balls and strikes. The Trump Department of Justice is absolutely wrong on this. Mifepristone is something that kills babies and does it in a way that harms women. This is not something we can ever be okay with. And we can't think suddenly that, you know, Trump's position on this is right. I'm not sure it's Trump's position on this. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But it is really concerning here because this isn't hard. By the way, check out Josh Hawley's letter to the DOJ this week calling for them to make a different decision. And very well written, I think, gets to the heart of the matter. Worth the read.

World music critic Arsenio Arteza insists it's the unpredictable that's always more interesting.
- [20:53]
Arsenio Orteza
Music fans did a double take last year when an album called so Far so Good showed up bearing the name Lance Cowan. Why? Because for more than 30 years, Cowan has been a music publicist. And music publicists don't become recording artists any more than Hollywood agents become actors. Music publicists, especially, don't become recording artists capable of making a country inflected singer, songwriter, alone album that's as good as any that they promote. Cowan, however, did just that.
- [21:23]
Kent Covington
Another cup of coffee, black, Another egg.
- [21:27]
Arsenio Orteza
In my poor bag that's so Far so Good's opening track. Musicians often lead with their strongest song, so skeptics might have expected the rest to trail off. But if they did, they found their expectations dashed. The succeeding sharp, sharply etched character sketches and vignettes packed subtle and sometimes not so subtle emotional wallops. And while some of Cowan's subjects were sad, none were dark or haunted. Not with Sam Bush's mandolin and Dan Dugmore's pedal steel on the tracks. And just when you thought that you'd settled on the one song that would perfect your next singer songwriter playlist, another would come along to make you reconsider.

Arsenio Orteza
Cowan's past clients read like a who's who list. From the Prairie Home Companion host Garrison Keillor to the Elvis Presley alumni Scotty Moore and DJ Frank Fontana, Cowan's current clients include all three of the Flatlanders, individually and collectively on a pony she named Wildfire. Cowan's clients also include the folk country artist Michael Martin Murphy, whose 1975 crossover hit Wildfire, a fantasy epic about a ghost horse, charted number one on the adult Contemporary chart and made Murphy a household name. Now Cowan is making a name for himself. If he'd never made another album, he'd already be something like the Shohei Ohtani of music, a two way player in a game in which being a one way player is hard enough. Besides, the phenomenon known as the sophomore slump is real. Or as an old saying goes, you've got your whole life to make your first album, but only a year to make your second. It's a way to explain why albums that come right after successful debuts are rarely as potent. But just one year after so far, so good, Cowan has made another album. It's called against the Grain, and not only does it avoid the sophomore slump, but it's even better than what came before the mid-70s. Country rock instrumentation and vocal harmonies remain, but now they're put at the service of sharper hooks that would have embedded themselves in the top 40 back when millions were checking into the Hotel Californ, California the warm critical reception greeting his first album Boyd Cowan's confidence as an artist on against the grand before, he thought that he had the singer songwriter goods. Now he knows he does. His music is still on the mellow side, but on the ragged edge of nothing. He's not afraid to rock a little harder. It's a song of plain spoken regret about a once strong relationship that's entering its final stages of dissolution, and if Neil Young hears it, he'll probably wish he'd written it first. When you and I we were really something Now I'm out here hanging on the ragged edge of nothing. Another fascinating story that's getting a sequel is that of the German singer Nina Hagen and her album Personal Jesus. First released in 2010, the album has just been re released in a 15th anniversary edition with one extra track. Normally such a minor occasion and one extra song wouldn't be worth discussing, but the original story behind the album is so good that any excuse to revisit it will do. Hagen, you see, had for years has been one of music's most extreme eccentrics. Part punk, part performance artist and thoroughly histrionic, she seemed to have polarization as her main goal, but in 2009 she was baptized in a Protestant Reformed church. While still eccentric, the music that she made in the aftermath sounded surprisingly sincere. She even added lyrics to the title cut, a Depeche Mode cover, undercutting the irony of the original. As for that new bonus cut, it's a cover of a song that Washington Phillips recorded in 1928 called I Am Born to preach the Gospel. As you can tell, it's cut from the same clothes and I didn't get.

And I'm Myrna Brown. Well, we're just a few days away from our annual two week journalism intensive course for college students and recent graduates held again this year at Dort University in the Sioux Center, Iowa. We'd love to invite you to pray for these 32 students and all the world staff and instructors that will be building into their lives later this month. Thank you, Myrna.

Nick Iker
I think we're gonna need those prayers. Hey, before we wrap up the program today, one more opportunity to let you know about the Cordell Prize. Speaking of young journalists, it's a writing competition for journalists between the ages of 18 to 29, those who are particularly interested in reporting on the angle of faith and suffering. What we're looking for are published stories from the last year that highlight individuals overcoming adversity while remaining steadfast in their Christian faith. Publication can be from a student or local newspaper or online publication. The piece needs to be at least 2,000 words long. It needs to be written in AP style, and there are generous monetary prizes for the top entries ranging from $500 to $2,500. Cordell Prize submissions due by the end of this month. Just visit WNG.org Cordell for more information. We are waiting to read your stories.

Indeed. Finally, today, the Perils of Plurals on Wordplay with George Grant, English has become.
- [28:55]
George Grant
The world's default lingua franca, the international standard for commerce and communication, spoken in more than 100 countries around the globe. Even so, it remains one of the most difficult languages to master. English has a vast vocabulary of more than a million words, including a whole host of peculiar idioms, phrasal verbs, slang terms, and variable intonation and pronunciation patterns. Its grammar is exceedingly complex and riddled with irregularities, oddities and exceptions. There are homonyms, words that are spelled the same and sound the same, but have different meanings. There are homophones, words that sound the same but have different meanings and different spelling. There are multonyms, words that sound the same but have more than two different meanings and spellings. Part of the reason for this is that English is a polyglot language. It has borrowed words, phrases and structures from multiple languages, ancient and modern Greek and Latin, of course, but with heavy doses of French, German, and Norse. And then there are all the old holdover words from Anglo, Saxon, Celtic, Old English, and Middle English. Sorting out singulars and plurals in English can be particularly confusing. Most singular nouns can be made plural simply by adding an s or es at the end of the word. Pens and pencils, papers and journals. But there is a dizzying array of complex exceptions to that simple rule. The plural of mouse is mice. The plural of goose is geese. The plural of louse is lice. But the plural of moose is not mees. We have man and woman, but not man's and woman's. We have foot and tooth, but not foot's and tooths. Some words have identical singulars and plurals. Sheep, deer, jeans, chalk, swine, pelisse, chassis, species, and pajamas. But there are innumerable other plurals that are even more complicated. Multiple data points are datum. Multiple agenda items are agendum. The plural of criterion is criteria. The plural of medium is medium. Several stratum are strata, while more than one appendix are appendices and more than one axis are axes. The plurals of cactus, focus and radius are cacti, foci, and radii, while the plurals of hoof, wife, and knife are hooves, wives and knives. Awkward plurals, one and all. Is this as perplexing a phenomenon for you as it is for me? Imagine trying to learn English as a second language. Then does it become something more like a perplexitude of phenomena? Well, my hypothesis is, yes, it is. But perhaps it might be better to say that my hypotheses are, yes, they are. I'm George Grant.
- [32:55]
Nick Iker
All right, George. If the plural of mouse is mice and goose is geese, then the plural of the world and everything in it is the team that makes it happen. And we thank the Lord for each one of them.
