The World and Everything in It - April 27, 2021

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Good morning!

Russian President Vladimir Putin makes another power play in Ukraine. We’ll hear what that means going forward.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Also a bill to make the District of Columbia a state has passed in the House. But does it pass Constitutional muster? We’ll talk about that.

Plus, two young men who started their own business and now help others do the same.

And tackling those home renovations.

REICHARD: It’s Tuesday, April 27th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.

EICHER: And I’m Nick Eicher. Good morning!

Time now for news. Here’s Kent Covington.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Protests continue over N.C. police shooting after family views body cam footage »

SOUND: Say his name: Andrew Brown!

Protesters continue to march in the streets of Elizabeth City, North Carolina … one day after the family of a black man fatally shot by deputies viewed body camera footage of the shooting.

Attorney Chantel Cherry-Lassiter says the video showed 42-year-old Andrew Brown Jr. in his car last Wednesday when shots rang out.

LASSITER: He was not reaching for anything. He wasn’t touching anything. He wasn’t throwing anything around. He had his hands firmly on the steering wheel. They run up to his vehicle shooting.

Attorneys for the Brown family said he was fatally shot in the back of the head.

An eyewitness account also indicated Brown was shot in the back as he tried to drive away from police.

Earlier Monday, a search warrant was released that indicated investigators had recorded Brown selling illegal drugs to an informant.

Brown attorney Ben Crump argued that authorities were trying to release negative information about Brown while shielding themselves by holding back the video.

CRUMP: We do not feel that we got transparency. We only saw a snippet of the video.

Attorneys and the family saw a 20-second portion of the incident.

The law allows authorities to show video footage to the family, but a judge will have to sign off on public release. Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten over the weekend said he will seek approval to release the footage.

Census produces fewer changes than expected in U.S. House » The 2020 U.S. Census data is in, showing a slight congressional power shift toward red states but not as much as expected. WORLD’s Leigh Jones has more.

LEIGH JONES, REPORTER: The nationwide headcount, held once every 10 years, determines how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives.

And following last year’s count, Texas will pick up two more seats. Other states gaining in the House are Florida, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon.

On the flipside, for the first time in 170 years of statehood, California is losing a congressional seat.

Other states losing members in the House are Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

But the changes were smaller than expected with just 13 states seeing gains or losses. In fact, the 2020 headcount produced the fewest changes of any Census in at least 80 years.

Altogether, the U.S. population rose to more than 331 million. That was a 7.4 percent increase, the second-slowest ever.

Supreme Court to hear challenge to N.Y. concealed carry restrictions »

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to review a New York law that limits the rights of citizens to carry a concealed firearm in public.

Lower courts have upheld the law, and in the past, the high court has declined to review it. But that was before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death.

The high court will likely hear an appeal sometime in the fall.

New York is one of eight states that limit who has the right to carry a weapon in public.

Paul Clement, representing challengers to New York’s permit law, said the court should use the case to settle the issue once and for all.

But the state of New York in calling on the court to reject the appeal said its law promotes public safety.

U.S., WHO ship emergency supplies to India amid COVID-19 surge » The White House says the United States will soon ship supplies to India to help battle a deadly surge of COVID-19 cases there. Press Secretary Jen Psaki:

PSAKI: We are exploring options to provide oxygen and related supplies. Dept. of Defense and USAID are pursuing options to provide oxygen generation systems. We may be in a position to reroute shipments planned for other countries with lower immediate needs, given the urgency of the conditions in India.

And the head of the World Health Organization also said Monday that the WHO is sending critical supplies. Director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus said those include oxygen machines, pre-made mobile field hospitals and lab supplies.

The WHO has also redeployed more than 2,000 staff to support health officials in India.

The surge is dramatic. On March 13th, India reported 21,000 new cases. On April 25th: 321,000 new cases.

Reported COVID-19-related deaths were just over 100 per day in early March. Now: nearly 3,000 each day with many more likely unreported.

Ghebreyesus called the surge in India “heartbreaking,” and he added that globally, the pandemic “continues to intensify.”

GHEBREYESUS: Cases have now increased for the ninth straight week, and deaths have increased for the sixth straight week.

He said there were as many recorded “cases globally last week as in the first five months of the pandemic.”

COVID-19 cases once again falling in the United States » But in the United States, we appear once again to be winning the battle against the virus. WORLD’s Anna Johansen Brown reports.

ANNA JOHANSEN BROWN: Beginning in late February, COVID-19 cases largely plateaued after five weeks of steep decline. And in fact, cases rose slightly for several weeks until the middle of April.

But cases are on the decline once again, dropping, albeit modestly, for more than a week. Hospital admissions and deaths are also down.

That’s likely due to more Americans getting vaccinated.

The United States leads the world in vaccinations with nearly 230 million doses administered. Roughly 30 percent of the U.S. population is now fully vaccinated. No other highly populated nation is even in double digits.

With vaccine supplies now outstripping demand in some parts of the country, the White House says it will soon begin sharing its entire stock of AstraZeneca vaccines.

As soon as it clears federal safety reviews, the United States could export as many as 60 million doses in the coming months.

Straight ahead: Moscow sets its sights on Ukraine again.

Plus, Steve West plots a home resurrection.

This is The World and Everything in It.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: It’s Tuesday, the 27th of April, 2021.

We’re so glad you’ve joined us for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Mary Reichard.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher.

First up: Moscow flexes its muscles.

Russia on Friday began withdrawing troops from its eastern border with Ukraine. This, after weeks of escalating tensions with Western powers over a series of military drills.

But artillery left behind leaves with it a threat of return.

REICHARD: Russia and Ukraine have been locked in conflict since 2014. That’s when Russia invaded and illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula.

So, what’s behind the Kremlin’s latest provocations? And is the crisis over? WORLD correspondent Jill Nelson reports.

JILL NELSON, REPORTER: When fighting broke out in 2014, the Kremlin denied any direct involvement with the bloodshed in Ukraine. The media began using the term “little green men” to describe the soldiers who appeared on Ukrainian soil in unmarked uniforms.

But this time around, world powers were watching more closely for Russian aggression and Kremlin spin. And State Department Spokesman Ned Price made it clear last week that the United States will remain vigilant.

PRICE: Well, we have heard Russia’s announcement—its announcement that it would begin withdrawing troops from the border of Ukraine. As I’ve said, we’ve heard words. I think what we’ll be looking for is action. The United States will continue to monitor the situation.

So what was behind Russia’s military surge? Steven Pifer is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. He says the recent aggression was most likely an attempt to intimidate Kyiv. And Russian President Vladimir Putin’s way of testing the Biden administration.

PIFER: Putin wants a meeting. You know it doesn't matter Biden called me a killer, but he wants that meeting because that's part of the validation of Russia as a great power.

And Putin may get his meeting. On April 13th, President Joe Biden called his counterpart in Moscow and proposed a summit. But his administration also hit Russia with a new round of sanctions for both threatening Ukraine and meddling in U.S elections. The Kremlin responded by expelling 10 U.S. diplomats.

In an armed conflict, Russia would have the upper hand. But the Ukrainian army is more prepared than it was in 2014 and would put up a fight. Pifer says Putin may have calculated that cost.

PIFER: I’m not sure from Vladimir Putin’s perspective having Russian soldiers come home in body bags is an attractive appearance. Taking Crimea in 10 days in a bloodless campaign was wildly popular. You know getting bogged down in a long conflict in Ukraine where you’re losing troops every day, I’m not sure that helps him and he has parliamentary elections coming up in the fall.

Pifer says the two countries have likely avoided a full-scale confrontation for now. It remains unclear how many forces will stay behind and where they’ll be located.

If Russia fails to follow through with its troop withdrawal and tensions escalate again, Pifer says we should publicly signal our commitment to Ukraine.

PIFER: I think it would be a useful message to the Russians if you had a C-17 flying into Kyiv with pallets full of javelin anti-armor missiles. The Russians have calculated, and they're probably correct, that the United States and NATO are not going to send troops to defend Ukraine. But we can certainly make it clear that we’re prepared to pump in weapons to help the Ukrainians better defend themselves.

Sergey Rakhuba is president of the U.S.-based ministry Mission Eurasia. He grew up in eastern Ukraine and has relatives in the area. They have been nervous about the troop buildup.

RAKHUBA: They are making plans. In case of the war, what do they do? So they have suitcases packed and waiting.

He says ministry opportunities increased dramatically when the coronavirus pandemic hit Ukraine. Poor healthcare left many turning to the church for help and spiritual guidance.

A Russian takeover of more Ukrainian territory could jeopardize the church’s work.

RAKHUBA: I doubt and really hope that an invasion won’t happen. But if it will then the Russian Orthodox Church will be the main religious force in all the territories where Russia controls those areas.

He says that’s already happened in separatist-controlled eastern Ukraine.

RAKHUBA: They create the laws that regulate religious affairs in a way so that they don’t leave any room for any other religion groups but Russian Orthodox Church.

Since Russia illegally annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, the courts have sentenced four Jehovah’s Witnesses to jail on trumped up charges of extremism. They’ve also seized church property, fined religious institutions, and granted priority status to the Russian Orthodox Church.

That’s one reason to lend support to Ukraine. Pifer lists two more: Allowing Russia to grab land in Ukraine gives Moscow a green light to invade other small countries, like the Baltics. And he says we owe Ukraine.

PIFER: Over the last 30 years the Ukrainians have done things that mattered a lot to us, including giving up nearly 2,000 strategic nuclear weapons that were designed, built, and deployed to strike at the United States.

Ukraine’s foreign minister welcomed the Russian troop drawdown but reminded world leaders that the conflict is not over. He said Russian leaders need to do more to curb ongoing violence between Russian separatist and Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine. And he says Moscow owes Kyiv an explanation for the military buildup.

While political leaders work to resolve the ongoing conflict, Sergey Rakhuba says Christians should pray.

RAKHUBA: Pray for spiritual leaders. Pray for churches. Pray so that they find a peaceful solution.

Reporting for WORLD, I’m Jill Nelson.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Coming up next on The World and Everything in It: the push to make Washington, D.C., the city, into a state all its own.

The U.S. House passed a bill last week that would convert the federal district carved out of Maryland in 1801 into the nation’s 51st state. That would come with some significant benefits: one seat in the House and two in the Senate. And because the city’s local elected officials are progressive Democrats, it stands to reason those new seats in Congress would be reliably Democrat seats.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: That’s just one reason Republicans oppose the move. Unless Senate Democrats vote to end the filibuster, the bill doesn’t stand a chance of passing through the upper chamber. But even if it did, legal analysts say it probably wouldn’t survive a court challenge.

Joining us now to explain why is Zack Smith. He’s a legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Good morning, Zack!

ZACK SMITH, GUEST: Good morning. Thank you so much for having me on.

REICHARD: Glad to have you here. Well, Democrats want to make the District of Columbia a state with simple legislation. You and several others say they can’t do that. Why?

SMITH: Well, that's exactly right. They can't do it because a constitutional amendment would be required to so radically transform the size and status of the District of Columbia. And historically, this hasn't been a partisan issue or a controversial issue, even really, because both Republican and Democratic Justice Departments that have looked at this issue have both reached exactly that same conclusion: that a constitutional amendment is required for the District of Columbia to become a state.

REICHARD: And what would need to happen to make D.C. its own state legally?

SMITH: Well, I believe you need to pass a constitutional amendment following the Article Five amendment process laid out in the Constitution. So not only would you need to pass a constitutional amendment to repeal the 23rd Amendment, which gives electors for president and vice president to the district and its residents, but you would need this constitutional amendment to also create this new state that HR51 purports to create.

REICHARD: Well, Democrats claim that D.C. residents are powerless because they don’t have their own representative in Congress. You make the case that they actually have quite a bit of power. Why do you say that?

SMITH: Well, that's not just my view. That's the view of the founding fathers. The founding fathers thought that the district's residents would have sufficient representation by Congress as a whole because of their location and ability to access all the members of Congress—their ability to access many high ranking Executive Branch officials. And certainly, you know, delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the district's non-voting representative in the House has been very effective. She's brought the DC statehood bill to the floor of the House two times in the past two years and gotten it passed, despite it being unpopular outside of the district itself. And so more importantly, again, if you think the district is not adequately represented, the appropriate way to change that is not through simple legislation as is being done here but rather through a constitutional amendment.

REICHARD: Well, you mention the Founders in your answer there. They were concerned about fairness, weren’t they, to the rest of the country and to the people living in the District. Can you explain why our nation’s capital is set up the way it is?

SMITH: Sure. So the framers really envisioned—there were two reasons why they wanted the capital to be a separate federal entity. They wanted the federal government to have physical control over the capital. And this stemmed largely from an event that happened in 1783, when Congress was in Philadelphia and a group of disgruntled soldiers surrounded them, threatened them, and the members of Congress asked the Pennsylvania governor to send out the militia to help them and he wouldn't do it. So Congress wanted to be sure they would never be in that situation again, dependent on state or local authorities for their own safety. And then they also wanted to make sure that no one state would exercise an outsized influence on the operations of the federal government. And the way they chose to avoid that, in part, was by setting up this independent federal entity to serve as our nation's capital.

REICHARD: Zack, is there anything else about this debate you think people ought to know?

SMITH: Well, I think it's being pushed right now for partisan political gain. Fortunately, it does face an uphill battle in the Senate. There are still four Democratic senators—three Democrats, one independent—who have not signed on to co sponsor this bill yet. Hopefully, that will remain the case. And even if this were to pass the Senate and President Biden were to sign it into law, you know, I think we're facing a potentially years of litigation stemming from it—a lot of uncertainty. And so, you know, I think the more prudent course would be, if you think the district should become a state, once again, to do it by constitutional amendment and to work out many of these remaining issues before it were to become a state.

REICHARD: Zack Smith is a legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Thanks so much for joining us today. Really useful.

SMITH: Of course, thank you so much for having me on.

NICK EICHER, HOST: If you have a fairly common name, you understand the difficulty of setting up an online account that matches what you call yourself. Josh Swain of Arizona had exactly that problem.

So on a lark, he decided to try to organize a battle for king of the Joshes. But his efforts morphed into something much bigger.

SOT: I’m comin’ from Minnesota. I’m coming all the way from Dallas. So I’m from Omaha. I’m from Wichita, Kansas. I drove four hours to be here.

Hundreds of Joshes took up the call to battle it out in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday for the title King of the Joshes.

They bashed one another with pool noodles to win the right to keep the name.

SOUND: [CROWD CHEERS] I now crown you “King Josh!” [CROWD CHEERS] Lift him up! Lift him up! [CROWD CHEERS]

Right there you hear the coronation of the ultimate winner of the noodle slugfest: a four year old Josh.

It’s The World and Everything in It.

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: Training up a child!

That’s from Proverbs 22, of course, one of the more well-known verses in the Bible. WORLD senior correspondent Myrna Brown recently met a family determined to reflect that Biblical authority both inside and outside the home. Here’s their story.

SOUND: BASKETBALL DRIBBLING

MYRNA BROWN, REPORTER: It’s backyard basketball on a warm spring afternoon in Covington, Georgia. The sounds of dribbling and layups are what you expect to hear when there are two teenage boys in the house trying to improve their game.

JABEZ JENKINS: Well, hooping is essential. That’s everyday...

That’s 15-year-old Jabez Jenkins. He and his 14-year-old brother Christopher have been “hooping” or playing basketball since their youth church league days. But there’s another passion they’ve been perfecting.

SOUND: HUM OF SEWING MACHINE

It started when they were still small enough to sit on their mama’s lap, Queenie Jenkins:

QUEENIE JENKINS: I was just making pillows for the house. And when I was doing that, they would come and put their hands up on the machine. And I was like, they will not stop touching this machine!

JABEZ JENKINS: I used to hear a sound and it was a loud sound and I wanted to know what it was.

QUEENIE JENKINS: So, I just figured I could put one on my lap.

BROWN: Who was sitting in your mom’s lap?

CHRISTOPHER JENKINS: We were both sitting, but he was guiding the fabric on one side and I was pushing.

JABEZ JENKINS: So that’s basically how we really got started sewing.

SOUND: HUM OF SEWING MACHINE

Two curious preschoolers captivated by the hum and the power of one of the most common household appliances - a white, 15-pound sewing machine. Before long, the boys wanted to tag along on their mother’s fabric-hunting excursions.

QUEENIE JENKINS: At 7, he said, "Mom can you take us to the fabric store so we can pick out cartoon character fabric to make our own pillows?"

Two years later, Jabez, a fourth grader at this point, made another request.

QUENNIE JENKINS: He walked through the door. I don’t even think he said, "Hi, Mom..." after school. [LAUGHTER] And he was standing with his backpack on, and he said, "Mom, can you help me make 30 bow ties for boys and 30 hair bows for girls from the scraps of fabric from the pillows for career day?"

Career day was less than a week away, so Queenie and her two budding designers got busy.

JABEZ JENKINS: I took 30 bow ties for boys and 30 hair bows for girls.

BROWN: And you came back home with how many?

JABEZ JENKINS: Zero!

The bow ties and hair bows made quite the splash in the small town. Word got out and neighbors stopped them on the street, hoping to get their hands on the accessories.

QUEENIE JENKINS: We would be out in the community. We’d be at the grocery store or people would see us passing by, and they would say, "Hey, y’all have those bow ties?" And so I told Jabez, I said, "Jabez, the next time someone asks you about bow ties, this is what you say. Say, "This wasn’t for real life. It was just for career day." I didn’t know what other answer we could give.

But Jabez had a different plan.

QUEENIE JENKINS: He said, "Mom, can you take me to Atlanta to sell bow ties?" And I said, "Yes." [LAUGHTER] And I said, "Well, ask your brother if he’ll help you."

BROWN: And what did you say, Christopher?

CHRISTOPHER JENKINS: I said, "Yes." When I was 7, I said, "Sure." I mean, there’s nothing to lose.

At 9 and 7 years old, the Jenkins brothers started their own company, Kings and Gents Accessories. They dropped the hair bows to focus solely on hand-made bow ties for boys and men. Today, both brothers know how to add just the right color and pizzazz to starch-ironed button downs. They cut, fold, sew and press their bow ties. They’re always on the lookout for distinctive fabrics.

JABEZ JENKINS: Well, usually when we go to a fabric store, we like to look for fabrics you won’t really see at any type of store or marketplace. So we’re going to look for unique fabrics.

But they aren’t interested in just looking the part. The ties look sharp. But they learned from their dad, Fred Jenkins, that it’s not clothes that make the man.

FRED JENKINS: I grew up without a father in a single family home. Just my mom and that was it. It’s important that I make sure that I give them all the steps that I never had. And it makes me feel good as a father to hear, man, your kids are so awesome.

In fact, during our interview, several of the questions I asked were met with the same well-mannered response.

JABEZ JENKINS: No ma’am.

CHRISTOPHER JENKINS: Yes ma’am.

JABEZ & CHRISTOPHER JENKINS: Yes ma’am.

Some people would call that good home training. Queenie says it’s Proverbs 22:6 in action. "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it."

QUEENIE JENKINS: I teach my boys that God gave this to us , and we want to make sure they delicately handle this and not mistreat this. And we stay humble, and we help when we can.

YOUTUBE CHANNEL: Welcome to Kings and Gents TV. Are you ready to learn about business?

Jabez and Christopher are published authors and have their own YouTube Channel. They’re also using their resources to teach other children how to become “kid-preneurs.”

JABEZ JENKINS: Well, we like to share because we don’t want to just see us winning. We want other kids if they want to start their own business, we want to help them.

QUEENIE JENKINS: I know that I’m raising somebody’s husband and somebody’s father. And this business is teaching them that. Knowing how to manage money, to give back to others. I want to teach them those things so that they can teach that to their children. So, that’s important for me and my husband that we know they are not only taking care of themselves, their families and they have a tender heart to take care of others.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Tuesday, April 27th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher.

Well, the snow’s melted and the days are getting warmer. That means it’s time to take care of those home repair projects that languished over the winter months.

Steve West has a list of things he needs to take care of. But he’s plotting a bigger renovation.

STEVE WEST, COMMENTATOR: After 34 years, our house is showing signs of age. My wife, who is more observant than me, recently noticed the ragged edges of the siding on our third story dormers, evidence of water damage. I called a roofer, and in a day, it was stripped and replaced. Naked boards thrust against the sky still need the modesty of paint. But the house must be power washed first, because we also want to have the trim painted while we’re at it, and that can’t be scheduled for another month. Then we (I mean she, of course) saw that water had also rotted the base of the frames around two outside doors. The roofer was more than happy to replace those, for a price.

There are other signs of—let’s not mince words—decay, aging, entropy: Cracks in the patio need filling. Rooms need paint. Well-tread carpet needs replacing.

Windows stick and won’t open despite near hernia-producing efforts. And for some reason, despite my very limited plumbing skill, the toilet gurgles randomly. Oh yes: the refrigerator’s fan motor complains, the floors creak, the air conditioner fails at an inopportune time, the fireplace needs cleaning, a pipe bursts under our front lawn, and cracks have appeared in the driveway. That’s just for starters.

If you are a homeowner, all of this will sound familiar. Mind you, this stuff happens over years, and keeps happening.

Confronted by such entropy, some people just move to a new (or newer) home. Some with the money remodel every four years to “freshen up.” I don’t mind a facelift, but I still want it to be the same place when the lift is over. Others spend their Saturdays maintaining and fixing every sag and seepage, every crack and crumble. They make me tired. Still others put their finger in the dike and pray a lot because the swell of the left undone is rising; barbarian elemental forces of nature are at the door.

But me, I’m plotting the resurrection. I don’t want to spend my days keeping up but would rather be with my wife, visit my children, lay in the hammock or sit under this blue umbrella and think and listen to the trees sway and the squirrels chatter and watch the robins and wrens and cardinals that visit. We take a few precautions, of course. We did have the siding repaired. It’s unlikely the house will fall down around us. We’ll just kick at the creeping to-do list until it bleeds daylight. There’s plenty of that, of course, because it’s not just house but home.

For now, I want this house, but I want it redeemed and made imperishable. I want it to be one in which the paint never fades, the walls never crack, where the memories of life are muraled all over its rooms, and where it glows in the golden light of a late afternoon sun that never ends. The house beyond the house. The home it was meant to be, all the good in it perfected. I’m waiting for the day when all things are made new. Even this house.

I’m Steve West.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Tomorrow: the Senate swing vote. West Virginia’s Joe Manchin is just about the most powerful man in Washington right now. We’ll talk to WORLD’s Jamie Dean about his role in shaping legislation.

And, farming in Oregon. We’ll take you to a family farm that doesn’t supply produce to the grocer. But its crops are vital, nonetheless.

That and more tomorrow.
