MARY REICHARD, HOST: Good morning!

Today on Legal Docket, another case of conscience in the workplace.

LITTLE: I felt that I’d be living a lie by going along with this …

A federal court in California working out what accommodation a government employer owes its religious employees.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Also today on the Monday Moneybeat. Economist David Bahnsen on the latest Fed moves.

And the WORLD History Book:

HEITGER: We all owe our careers to Louis Armstrong.

The musician whose sound still echoes through American music.

REICHARD: It’s Monday, August 3rd. 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!

REICHARD: Up next, Kent Covington with today’s news.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Iran latest » President Trump says he called off a massive attack against Iran over the weekend, with US forces locked and loaded.

TRUMP: We had an attack that would be the biggest attack since World War II, and it would've been disastrous for Iran

He added that American and Iranian negotiators are set to try once more to end a five-month war.

That, after countries around the region asked him to hold off on that weekend strike, including the intended target.

TRUMP: Saudi Arabia, by UAE, and by Qatar, and by Iran. Uh, we were all set to go

Gulf states worried that hitting Iran's power plants would bring Iranian missiles down on their own oil fields.

Trump says a deal would end Tehran’s nuclear threat, and see Iran stop terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz right away. A fifth of the world's oil normally moves through it, but Tehran has effectively shut it down.

Iran has said little publicly. Its foreign minister warned Sunday that his government would answer any new attack.

Idaho shooting » Police in Idaho know who carried out a deadly shooting at a fast-food restaurant over the weekend. They still don't know why.

Investigators say 24-year-old Chad Williams killed three people at In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls and wounded seven more, two critically. He later took his own life.

One eyewitness told KMTV:

AUDIO: As I was running, I faced the shooter head-on and he pointed the gun at me, and I ducked behind a white car just to have some sort of coverage

Another was in a car when employees came running out:

AUDIO: You heard everybody running, screaming, Shooter, active shooter. And we had to stop because I didn't wanna run over all the employees. And then we heard some shots, boom, boom, boom

Police say two men shot back at Williams that afternoon. An off-duty state trooper, and an armed customer. Hicks says the two of them drove Williams away from the restaurant and prevented more casualties.

Louisiana launches investigation into Fauci (FL, AL also) » Three states are now investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci. Louisiana joined Alabama and Florida over the weekend. They're looking at whether he broke any state laws.

Former President Joe Biden gave Fauci a pardon on his way out of office. But that only shields him from federal charges.

At a Senate hearing last week, Fauci refused to answer questions, invoking Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination over a hundred times.

The committee plans to vote this week on holding him in contempt of Congress for not cooperating. It would then be up to the Justice Dept whether to prosecute.

GOP Sen. Roger Marshall:

MARSHALL: I don't know that, that if we can throw him in jail over this, but I, I think that certainly a special counsel needs to get ahold of this. There's no way we can address this in one morning hearing in Congress

Republicans contend he had no right to plead the Fifth on Capitol Hill because, due to his prior pardon, he was at no risk of federal prosecution.

Wildfires » Wildfires around Spokane, Washington have burned at least 600 homes, businesses and other buildings. Authorities evacuated five thousand homes. No deaths reported as of last night.

Spokane sits on a river between steep canyons, and the wind funnels through them.

Washington is in a record drought. Governor Bob Ferguson declared a statewide emergency Saturday and banned outdoor burning.

The National Guard sent in 30 soldiers to assist, and the city opened its convention center as a shelter.

Box office » At the weekend box office, Spider-Man is back with the second-biggest opening weekend ever.

CLIP (Spider-Man trailer): What is happening to me? I am totally out of control. I gotta fix whatever this is right now

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hauled in a staggering estimated $355 million dollars stateside. And globally: $927 million.

That dethroned The Odyssey, which finished second with another $51 million in ticket sales. Worldwide, it has also topped $900 million after its third weekend in theaters.

I'm Kent Covington.

Coming up: A federal court is weighing what accommodations a government employer owes religious employees. And later: The musician whose sound still echoes through American music.

This is The World and Everything in It.

NICK EICHER, HOST: It’s The World and Everything in It for August 3rd, 2026. Thanks for joining us today. Good morning! I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Time now for Legal Docket, summer edition, where we look at first-freedom cases making their way through the lower courts.

This time, a workplace dispute involving a lifeguard captain and a Pride Month flag policy—and a request by the captain for religious accommodation, so everybody can coexist, as the bumper sticker says.

EICHER: Jeffrey Little has worked in the L.A. County Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division for more than two decades. He worked his way up to ocean lifeguard captain, responsible for stations and the people who work there.

But the legal fight he is now in has nothing to do with high surf or rip currents.

It is about whether a government employer can require him to raise—or direct his crew to raise—a flag he says conflicts with his Christian worldview.

REICHARD: Little says it all started in 2023, when LA County adopted a policy that required county facilities to fly the Progress Pride flag during the month of June. That included locations within the county fire department that oversees the lifeguard division.

Little is a Christian and wasn’t sure what to do.

LITTLE: Back in June of 2023, the County Los Angeles put out a proclamation that all stations within the LA County Fire Department were required to fly the Progress Pride Pride flag. And so I did not know what to do. I was torn on whether I should participate in this policy. And so I simply requested to be exempt from participating or regulating or raising the flag myself.

EICHER: Little says his objection was not personal hostility toward anyone. He says he wanted to remain faithful to his beliefs while continuing to serve as a county lifeguard.

LITTLE: Yeah, I come from a Christian faith and that I really just want to be authentic and be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. And that's a priority in all facets of my life, including my workplace. And I felt that I would be living a lie by going along with this policy and carrying out the responsibilities that were demanded of me.

REICHARD: Little says human resources initially accommodated him. He would not have to work at a location that flies the flag, nor would he have to raise it himself or direct others to do so.

He thought that settled the problem.

But when he arrived for work, he says he found three Progress Pride flags flying at locations in his area of responsibility.

LITTLE: And so I was met with confusion, because we had just entered into this agreement with HR and all the decision makers. And yet the first day there I was met with these flags greeting me at the workplace in which I was now responsible for.

EICHER: Little took the flags down.

He says he believed that was consistent with the accommodation he had received.

But L.A. County sees that differently.

The county says Little was not authorized to remove government-issued flags, and that the discipline that followed was about his conduct and his refusal to follow policy—not about his religious beliefs.

REICHARD: L.A. County did not respond to my request for comment. In its court filings, though, it makes clear that it disputes Little’s account of both the accommodation and the discipline.

That distinction is central to the case.

Little is not asking the county to stop flying the Progress Pride flag. The county may speak for itself.

The question is whether it had to find a way for Little to remain on the job.

Little says the next day, his division chief gave him a direct order.

LITTLE: I was confronted by our chief lifeguard. And he reiterated over and over again and kept on reciting that my beliefs don't matter and the only thing that matters is that I'm an LA County employee and I need to do what I'm told. And at that time he, he put it in not only in verbally, but he put in a writing in the form of a direct order and a notice of instruction that I was to comply with this policy or I'd be at risk of being terminated.

His attorney is Nathan Loyd with Thomas More Society:

LITTLE: And if I can add the exact language in that written notice, I, I pulled it up before our call today. He says that Captain Little must raise the flag “irrespective of personal beliefs,” which was, that's a, a stunning statement, because it, it really shows that the county just did not care what…Captain Little's religious beliefs were or why he might even have an objection.

The lawsuit includes several claims, but two are especially important for the listener to understand.

First, Title VII—the federal law that protects employees from religious discrimination.

EICHER: Under Title VII, an employer must reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious practice unless doing so would create an undue hardship for the employer’s own business.

Three years ago, in a case called Groff v. DeJoy, the Supreme Court said employers must meet a higher bar than before, proving a substantial burden, and not just a trivial one.

Lawyer Loyd says LA County can’t meet that standard.

LOYD: And in this case, our argument has been, look the Los Angeles County lifeguards can still function just fine with granting Captain Little an accommodation from raising the Pride Progress flag. It's not like somebody's going to die because he refuses to put up this flag. Nothing's going to happen. They can easily accommodate him.

REICHARD: Little’s second major claim arises because his employer is the government. He alleges that county officials violated his First Amendment right to freely exercise his religion.

Loyd says the county had several practical alternatives.

LOYD: Somebody else can raise the flag in his place. Maybe they just don't even have to raise the flag. Maybe Captain Little can be placed at one of the dozens of locations where they don't even fly the Pride Progress flag. The county can still get out its message, can still do its government speech, but there's no reason to force Captain Little to participate in it.

The county disagrees the answer was that simple.

In court documents, it argues that an exception could create operational and staffing burdens. It also says Little’s removal of the flags was unauthorized and that he was disciplined for failing to do what his position required.

EICHER: That is why this case is more complicated than the public argument over what the flag means.

Supporters see the Progress Pride flag as a statement of welcome and inclusion. Little sees the message as approving conduct and identity that his religious convictions cannot approve, and that the state message is being imposed upon him.

A court is not being asked to decide whose beliefs are better. It is being asked whether the county’s response to Little’s requested accommodation was lawful.

REICHARD: And that means sorting out the facts: What exactly did the county initially agree to? Why was that arrangement changed? What duties could Little have performed without raising the flag? And what burden, if any, would an accommodation have imposed on the lifeguard division?

The dispute has taken a personal toll, Little says. He used vacation time during Pride Month to avoid further conflict.

But he says he has also received encouragement.

LITTLE: The highlight has been the support that I've received from Christians and people of faith from all around the world. It has really been a wild ride. Hearing from so many people who support and want me to fight this on their behalf. And so that has propelled me forward and gives me the energy to keep fighting every day.

EICHER: A federal judge recently issued a mixed ruling on summary-judgment motions, leaving key claims and factual disputes unresolved.

This case could matter beyond a flag policy in Los Angeles.

It tests how specifically a government employer must consider a religious accommodation—and how much practical evidence it needs before saying no.

REICHARD: And now, a related development from Michigan.

Unlike Little’s case, which is still moving through court, this one has ended in a settlement.

Valerie Kloosterman is a physician assistant. Five years ago, she raised faith-based concerns about mandatory training and her hospital’s gender-identity policies.

She says she was fired. She sued under Title VII, arguing that her employer had discriminated against her because of her faith.

Her attorney, Kayla Toney with First Liberty Institute, says the settlement provides both money damages and a change in hospital policy.

TONEY: The University of Michigan Health-West will be paying $410,000 in damages and legal fees. And the most important piece of the settlement is that we have a policy change. So the hospital system will be providing religious accommodations to healthcare providers and employees who have religious objections to participating in gender transitions. And employees also will not be forced to use pronouns that go against their conscience or their religious beliefs…..that's all because Valerie stood strong and stood up for what was right.

EICHER: A settlement is not a court ruling. But it does resolve Kloosterman’s claims and, according to her lawyers, establishes a process for religious-accommodation requests across the hospital system.

Kloosterman says the experience deepened her conviction that Christians can hold firm to their beliefs while treating others with love.

KLOOSTERMAN: First Corinthians 16 verse 13, right? Says, be watchful. Stand firm in the faith, right? Be strong, but let everything that you do be done in love. So in in any situations, we're called to be faithful to our Creator God. But we're to do that in love. So care for people with love, but give them what we know they need from a godly and biblical perspective….That people would stand firm, that they would be light and salt wherever God has placed them, whether it's as a provider or as an employee, as a janitor, as a referral coordinator, that they really truly see who they're working with and working for as people created in the image of God.

REICHARD: Kloosterman is again serving as a physician assistant elsewhere. And that’s this week’s Legal Docket.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Coming up next on The World and Everything in It: The Monday Moneybeat

NICK EICHER, HOST: Time now to talk business, markets, and the economy with financial analyst and advisor David Bahnsen. David heads up the wealth management firm, the Bahnsen Group, and he is here now. David, good morning.

DAVID BAHNSEN: Good morning, Nick. Good to be with you.

EICHER: Well, David, the Fed held its target rate steady last week, even though inflation remains well above its 2 percent goal. The Fed’s preferred measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, the PCE, is running at 3.7 percent. Three regional Fed presidents last week voted to raise rates, and The New York Times described that as a sign of growing pressure on Chairman Kevin Warsh, now just two meetings into his tenure.

But you argued in Dividend Cafe this week, David, that holding rates steady does not mean that Warsh has backed away from fighting inflation. So, what was the case for holding the line here?

BAHNSEN: What’s interesting is that Chairman Warsh essentially made the argument that he believes tightening is needed. But Chairman Warsh basically said all the same things that the inflation hawks are saying: that we need to get the inflation level down to the target of 2 percent, that it hasn’t happened yet, and that there is some looseness in monetary policy.

What Chairman Warsh basically said in explaining their decision to not raise rates was that the tightening has begun, but that it didn’t require them to raise the rate when, since the last Fed meeting, the two-year and the 10-year are both up close to a quarter point themselves in both real and nominal rates. So essentially, without getting too wonky about it all, the chairman made the argument that so far the market is doing the tightening for them.

But I think that the chairman also believes, and I’m in total agreement with him, that it is a little odd to say, “Oh, we need to tighten. Let’s raise rates,” when the Fed has, over the last four months, added 200 to 250 billion dollars to their balance sheet. So I think that you are going to see a freezing of new reserves in the financial system, which is the Fed buying bonds with money that doesn’t exist. It is loosening monetary policy, and then I think he wants to see if the market will continue doing some of this tightening.

And as I’ve been saying for over a year and a half, there’s absolutely no doubt that tariffs have moved prices higher, but there isn’t much that the Fed can do about that with the lever of interest rates. So I think when you mix all of this together, you at least get an intellectually consistent response from Chairman Warsh this week. It may not be the policy that everybody wanted, and it wasn’t the policy some expected.

EICHER: Yeah, David, you mentioned a few moments ago the two-year and the 10-year as already doing some of the tightening work for the Fed. Now you’re talking about Treasury yields, and before we talk more about what those higher yields mean, let’s remember what we talked about last week.

What you explained is that the 10-year Treasury yield reflects two things: expectations for inflation and expectations for real economic growth. So, a higher Treasury yield is not automatically bad news. It depends on what’s driving it.

The New York Times is interpreting the rise in long-term Treasury yields as a warning that the markets doubt Chairman Warsh’s resolve on inflation. The Wall Street Journal has a completely different take and offers a different explanation: that markets may be pricing stronger growth and, once again, doing more of their own risk assessment instead of waiting for the Fed to signal every move. So, how would you distinguish the market sending a credibility warning from a healthy market simply doing its job?

BAHNSEN: This is a stunning change for media to suddenly be so driven by the desire to see a central bank beat inflation. I’ve never seen such hawkish media coverage, and I say this sarcastically because it’s almost embarrassing, the newness, the novelty of their concern with this subject, which is actually not even about wanting Warsh to do something that would help inflation or hurt inflation. I think they want the drama of a fight between President Trump and Kevin Warsh.

You pointed out he wants the Fed to have a lower footprint in the economy, so things like not giving forward guidance—believing the Fed should not be such a big player and be more of a referee—and get markets to focus on the data as opposed to trying to guess what the Fed’s going to do.

I’m very curious where the chairman will be at Jackson Hole. He’s going to give a speech in just a few weeks. Then the Fed has another FOMC meeting in September, and I believe that those saying the right thing to do is raise rates and the wrong thing to do is hold steady don’t have it right. The wrong thing to do is to do anything out of an expectation, whether it’s from the White House or the media or what have you. It needs to come from a policy objective, and Warsh’s policy objectives have been to see inflation get down to 2 percent without tipping the economy down and undermining their other mandate of full employment.

But reporters in that press conference—it was one of the most mind-numbing press conferences, and I’ve watched every one of them for a long time—the way that they went after him, saying, “Hey, there’s this tension with employment and prices, and you don’t seem to be acknowledging it.” And for him to come out and say, “It’s because I don’t acknowledge it. I don’t believe it. I think you can have healthy employment in the economy and price stability.”

So there’s an ideological framework that is different with this chairman than the past three we’ve had. And for him to say, “I think inflation is bad for jobs,” is a really wonderful thing to hear from a central banker. Now he not only has to do it, but get support from his colleagues to do it, and that appears to be a challenge as well.

EICHER: Well, David, another story out of the Journal this week: Chairman Warsh has floated reducing the number of Fed meetings from eight per year to six. Now the legal minimum is four. Is this really about the calendar, or do you think it’s part of his broader effort to make the Fed less central in markets and encourage investors to pay more attention to the economy itself?

BAHNSEN: Yeah, I think it’s a wonderful idea, and I don’t know that he’ll be able to do it right away. I don’t think the Fed can meet any time they want. If something were to come up that requires a policy response—an emergency, global geopolitical event—the Fed can and in fact has met. Think of COVID. Think of 2008. Think of 9/11.

But the regular stated meetings, being in Warsh’s opinion excessive, add to volatility. It adds to speculation. It adds to distraction. So I don’t know that he’ll succeed, but I’m favorable to it, and I think he’s a measured institutionalist, that he wants to go from eight to six instead of going right from eight to four.

EICHER: All right, David. Before we go, GDP growth came out last week, second quarter. It slowed to a 1.5 percent annual rate, but consumer spending rose 3.2 percent. Private domestic demand up almost 4 percent at 3.9. AI-related imports were what pulled the headline number lower. So, is the economy truly slowing down, or do you think the headline understates its strength?

BAHNSEN: Well, no. You’ve got to remember that when we talk about the imports pulling away, it’s not—it’s because it’s factored in the business investment, and other imports are factored in consumption. So it’s a way of avoiding double counting, because if you had imports not being deducted that way, then they would be appearing in the GDP data twice.

And I think that the headline is what it is. The economy is where it’s been for quite some time, which is slow, low, but positive. And as the numbers make abundantly clear, positive is a byproduct of data center construction and AI capex investment.

So, long-time listeners know that I never believe the consumer is where you’re going to see it slowing down unless the consumer loses credit. But no, there is nothing that is happening in the economy that is pushing us up well above the 2 percent real number. We’re staying in this range that we’ve been in for getting close to 20 years.

EICHER: All right, David Bahnsen, founder, managing partner, and chief investment officer of the Bahnsen Group. He writes at dividendcafe.com and World Opinions as well. David, I hope you have a great week.

BAHNSEN: Thanks so much, Nick.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Good morning! You’re listening to WORLD Radio and we’re so glad you are! I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Coming next on The World and Everything in It: The WORLD History Book.

When jazz emerged as a major musical force in the early 20th century, it drew on traditions such as ragtime and folk music. But one trait stood out: improvisation. And few could improvise like Louis Armstrong. That’s why he’s called the founding father of jazz.

EICHER: Armstrong was born into poverty on August 4, 1901. So, how does a poor kid from the streets of New Orleans end up changing the way we sing and play music?

WORLD’s Myrna Brown spent some time in Armstrong’s hometown for the story.

SOUND: [Steamboat, whistle]

MYRNA BROWN: A three-deck steam boat pulls away from a dock in New Orleans and cruises up the Mississippi River. Inside the big boat, a jazz trio plays Come Back, Sweet Papa. It’s a Louis Armstrong tune, recorded a hundred years ago.

RICKY RICCARDI: They’re still using Louis Armstrong’s rhythm. They’re still using his phrases. They’re still using his passion.

Ricky Riccardi is director of research collections for the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens, New York. He says there’s a reason Armstrong’s music endures.

RICKY RICCARDI: You know, a lot of musicians they’re concerned about the gig. Armstrong knew they were to write about him in the history books one day. So, I always tell people to start with the music, but that’s only one layer of the story.

Armstrong’s mother’s work as a prostitute led to him being raised by his grandmother and his great-grandmother. When he turned six, he was reunited with his mother.

RICCARDI: And immediately she sends him around on the streets to go and run errands and bring back food and this and that.

Louis dropped out of school at nine years old to sell newspapers. In 1912 he got in trouble for firing his mother’s pistol and was sent to the Colored Waif’s Home for Boys.

RICCARDI: And it’s really a turning point for his life. Because the Waif’s Home had a music program.

Armstrong thrived—starting with the tambourine, working his way up to the drums, the bugle, then the cornet. After 18 months, he was allowed to leave the boys home. He was 14 years old.

RICCARDI: He’s doing whatever he can. He is literally digging food out of garbage cans and cutting the spoiled portions off and selling it back to restaurants just to make money. But now he’s also had this taste of being a musician.

Friends helped him procure a horn from a pawn shop. He spent the next few years honing his skills in the neighborhood honky tonks.

RICCARDI: They would hire him just to play the blues at night and musicians who remembered him, they said he barely knew three songs. His lips would give out and he would have to sing the rest of the night. So, it was definitely a lot of hard work, a lot of rejection. But then, by around 1918 he started getting this reputation that he could play.

And that reputation earned him a coveted spot on the Mississippi River.

RICCARDI: Once you got called to play on the riverboat, it was like going to the conservatory.

Armstrong spent three years on the riverboat, learning how to read all kinds of music.

RICCARDI: He would have to play rumbas and fox trots and waltzes, in addition to ragtime and hot jazz specialties. So the boat really made a musician out of Louis Armstrong.

Armstrong left New Orleans in 1922. In this recording, he describes one of his first gigs in Chicago, alongside his mentor, Joe, “King” Oliver.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG: Yeah, that’s my first trumpet solo I’d say up north, from New Orleans. I had just joined Joe Oliver as second trumpet man.

And in this interview he talks about hitting high notes while playing the song, Shine, recorded in 1931.

ARMSTRONG: I’d get on the stage and hit a piece like Shine and hit about 250 high Cs. And before I hit that high F, the audience is in an uproar and I’m walking up and down the stage. And I had the high F right in my pocket all the time. [laughter]

Armstrong made thousands of recordings over a span of five decades, collaborating with Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington…

SOUND: [MUSIC AND SCATTING]

And Barbara Streisand…

MUSIC: Well hello, [look who’s here] dolly. This is Louis..[hello Louis] Dolly…

In 1958 he recorded a jazz and spirituals album.

MUSIC: Nobody knows but Jesus…

But Armstrong was more than a great musician.

DAVID KUNIAN: You had to be an entertainer in order to make it.

David Kunian is the curator of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. He says Armstrong’s emphasis on entertaining made him unpopular.

KUNIAN: When the styles of jazz changed and the bebop guys came up they kind of resented Armstrong for a minute because he did all these kind of vaudeville… shuck and jive. Those guys wanted to be appreciated as artists and not have to go through what they thought was demeaning.

Years of constant touring took a toll on Armstrong..

WALTER CRONKRITE: Good evening. I’m Walter Cronkite. They buried Louie Armstrong in New York this afternoon…

Louis Armstrong died on July 6, 1971.

Ricky Riccardi says he hopes younger generations will appreciate and recognize Armstrong’s influence on today’s music.

MUSIC: Let me tell you a story about a place I know…

RICCARDI: His language has become our language. So the point is people are emulating him without knowing they’re emulating him. How to take a written song and personalize it. How to add passion to it. Those are the lessons that he infuses into American popular music.

Back on the Mississippi River, the Steamboat NATCHEZ heads back to port. The jazz trio wraps up its set, the same way it began.

MUSIC: [What A Wonderful World]

Band leader Duke Heitger.

DUKE HEITGER: We all owe our careers to Louis Armstrong. His music just transcends generation after generation. That’s the brilliance of it. His music will be around forever.

MUSIC: I think to myself….

That’s this week’s WORLD History Book. I’m Myrna Brown, in New Orleans.

MUSIC: What a wonderful world…….OH YEAH!!!!

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Tomorrow: New theaters in the Iran war. We’ll talk about it with the former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

And, a former Democratic political strategist talks about why she walked away from the party.

That and more tomorrow.

I’m Mary Reichard.

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