MARY REICHARD, HOST:  Good morning!

As the remains of the last Israeli hostage returned home, the family of another reflects on the horrors of captivity.

DAVID: He lost almost all his muscle mass and fat in his body. It was like, literally, skin on bones when he got to us.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Also today, the debate over the United States’ departure from the World Health Organization.

Later, the allure of English-style equestrian sports.

GIFFORD: Most of us that are horse girls are forever horse girls.

And WORLD commentator Maria Baer revisits a famous obscenity trial 35 years ago.

REICHARD: It’s Tuesday, January 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!

REICHARD: Now news. Here's Kent Covington.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Winter storm aftermath » A powerful winter storm has left much of the country locked in snow, ice, and extreme cold, with roughly 30 deaths now linked to the weather.

Heavy snow stretched from the South into New England, shutting down roads, grounding flights, and closing schools.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro thanked the public for heading warnings and largely staying off the roads. But he added:

SHAPIRO:  I'd also note that one of the things we worry about in storms like this, particularly where there's some icing and in the back half of the storm we get some sleet and freezing rain. We worry a lot about power outages because the weight of the snow can bring down those power lines.

Across numerous states, ice brought down trees and power lines, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity in freezing temperatures.

In New York City, Mayor Zorhan Mamdani said officials are working to protect the most vulnerable.

MAMDANI:  Just because the storm has passed does not mean that the danger to homeless New Yorkers has passed. Outreach teams are only intensifying their efforts today to connect vulnerable New Yorkers to shelter.

Officials say some deaths were tied to accidents, exposure, and dangerous travel conditions.

Forecasters warned last night that the cold air mass was sticking around, with sub-zero wind chills in parts of the Midwest and Northeast. Another winter system could move into eastern states later this week.

Ukraine security guarantee » Talks to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have shown progress, but major hurdles remain.

That’s the word from Kremlin officials after another round of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, between the US, Ukraine and Russia.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

LEAVITT: The President remains deeply involved and of course he's being apprised by his advisors, namely Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Witkoff on these talks. So, the President is not giving up on the peace process.

Moscow says the meetings were constructive and that another round is planned for later this week. Still, they caution there has been no breakthrough.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also described the talks as productive:

ZELENSKYY: [Speaking Ukrainian]

He added that —his words … “Real diplomatic results are needed to avoid the impression that the Russians are using the negotiation process for very cynical, harsh purposes.”

He urged allies to keep the pressure on Moscow.

Minnesota latest » Leavitt also addressed a fatal shooting in Minnesota … when federal immigration officers shot and killed a protester during an incident over the weekend.

LEAVITT:  Saturday shooting remains under active investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI. The Customs and Border Protection is also conducting their own internal review.

Tensions remain high in Minneapolis after the death of I-C-U nurse Alex Pretti (Pret'-ee). Federal agents wrestled Pretti to the ground during a confrontation, disarmed him, and then fired multiple shots as he was restrained.

Meanwhile, President Trump says he had a "very good call" with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Monday, adding that the governor wants to "work together" to turn down the temperature in his state.

This comes as the president also announced that he is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to oversee operations there and some federal agents are expected to leave.

Israeli hostage » In the Middle East:

SOUND: [Honor guard]

A ceremony honoring the last Israeli hostage taken on October 7th … as his body was returned home. Police escorted the remains of Ran Gvili from the Gaza border yesterday.

SOUND: [Israeli national anthem]

Members of the Israeli military saluted his casket and sang the Israeli national anthem.

One demonstrator in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square says she's happy Israel can finally turn the page:

GAL: It's a great joy. It took too long, unfortunately. And he came back as a deceased hostage. But even though he's not alive, we're very happy that he's back at home and that we finally close this mission that we had.

Gvili was a 24-year-old Israeli police officer recovering from a motorcycle injury when Hamas terrorists launched the October 7th attacks. He was killed while battling the attackers.

Business jet crash » After a private jet crashed over the weekend killing all six people on board, investigators are looking closely at de-icing procedures. WORLD’s Benjamin Eicher reports:

BENJAMIN EICHER: The jet flipped over and caught fire during takeoff at Bangor International Airport Sunday as a snowstorm moved in and visibility dropped.

An aviation safety expert says even a thin layer of ice on the wings can cause serious problems. And that particular jet model, the Bombardier Challenger 600, has a history of icing issues.

Audio recordings show another pilot aborted takeoff shortly before the crash due to failed deicing fluid and poor visibility.

For WORLD, I’m Benjamin Eicher.

I'm Kent Covington.

Still ahead: The family of a former Israeli hostage reflects on the horrors of captivity. Plus, a debate over the United States’ exit from the World Health Organization.

This is The World and Everything in It.

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

Glad to have you along 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: moving from death to life.

As you heard moments ago, Israel said yesterday that it has recovered the remains of one hostage, marking the end of the first phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

REICHARD: Meanwhile, the family of another hostage … one who returned alive … is learning what recovery looks like now. WORLD’s Travis Kircher has the story.

SOUND: [Rejoicing in Hostages Square]

TRAVIS KIRCHER: Pure rejoicing broke out in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv on October 13th, after a ceasefire was reached and the terror group Hamas freed all 20 of the Israeli hostages who were still alive. The family of 24-year-old Evyatar David had stayed hopeful the day would come.

ILAY DAVID: And I know that he comes back eventually. I know that he will survive. That's something we pray for, but we also know.

That’s Evyatar’s older brother, 28-year-old Ilay David speaking less than two weeks earlier at the apartment where I was staying in Jerusalem. At the time, he didn’t know Evyatar’s release was imminent.

SOUND: [Evyatar David reunion]

But within a matter of days, Evyatar was enjoying tearful reunions with Ilay and the rest of his family. Audio here of Evyatar and fellow former hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal reuniting in the hospital.

Now back in the States, I recently called Ilay to see how his brother has been doing since, and whether or not he’s adjusting to life as a free man.

DAVID: I think he's doing great. He came from literally hell, and he came back to life.

Ilay was upbeat. Especially since the last images he’d seen of his brother before he was freed were from a Hamas video released in August.

SOUND: [Evyatar video]

In it, Evyatar appeared emaciated, half starved, and said he was digging his own grave. That led to grave concerns about whether Evyatar would ultimately survive his captivity and about his physical condition were he ever released. And when he finally saw his brother in October, Ilay knew those concerns were justified.

DAVID: He came very, very frail and thin. He lost almost all his muscle mass and fat in his body. It was like, literally, skin on bones when he got to us.

In fact, Evyatar weighed little more than 120 pounds when he was returned by Hamas. But Ilay says he’s gained weight fast. And like many who’ve survived such ordeals, Evyatar had one specific food he’d been craving.

DAVID: He really wanted to eat a hamburger. He wanted a burger. That's it. [LAUGHS]

And something else. Ilay says Evyatar came back jet lagged. His sleep schedule was out of alignment.

DAVID: He switched between day and night. He was sleeping during the day and awake during the night.

That’s partly because he spent most of the time in underground tunnels. Day and night didn’t exist. But also: Evyatar wanted to minimize contact with his abusive captors…so he slept while they worked.

DAVID: They could hear them digging the tunnels, and they could hear them praying their prayers. There was, like a schedule.

Then, a new challenge. During the last 50 days or so before he was released, Evyatar was placed in solitary confinement. But that changed in mid-October.

DAVID: He told me, “At some point I felt, I felt something—the energy was different in the room. I felt it, something different for my captors.”

Within days, he was taken to another location where he was reunited with his fellow captive. Three days after that: Freedom Day, when all of them were released.

SOUND: [Cheers in Hostages Square]

Ilay says his brother is a naturally curious person, and even two years of captivity did not dampen that trait. That was obvious immediately.

DAVID: When he got to the helicopter, he just wanted to be with the pilot to see everything, all the electronics, and to hear how the helicopter works, how it functions.

Evyatar spent two weeks in the hospital and still faces several months of physical recovery, but Ilay says his strength is coming back to him. He also says his brother has privately told him horrifying stories about his captivity that Ilay says he won’t share publicly.

But Evyatar isn’t the only one healing. Ilay recalls a moment recently when he himself felt a sense of freedom.

DAVID: I saw him play the guitar the first time during our time in the hospital. And I just, until that point, like I couldn't realize that he's here. And when he just, he just gave the first chord, I burst in tears completely. For minutes, and minutes, and minutes, two years of suffering, just went out of me.

SOUND: [Singing in Hostages Square]

Reporting for WORLD, I’m Travis Kircher.

NICK EICHER, HOST: It’s The World and Everything in It for January 27th, 2026. Glad you’ve joined us. Good morning! I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard.

Next up: Leaving the World Health Organization.

The W.H.O. officially lost its biggest financial contributor last week: the United States. The move ends a relationship that began nearly 80 years ago, when Congress approved U.S. membership in 1948.

EICHER: The U.S. has paid an average of around $111 million dollars a year in assessed dues—plus hundreds of millions more in voluntary contributions.

President Donald Trump started working on the withdrawal last January, as required under the agency rules:

TRUMP: So we paid $500 million to World Health when I was here and I terminated it. China with 1.4 billion people, we have 350, depending. We have, nobody knows what we have, because so many people came in illegally. But let's say we have 325. They had 1.4 billion. They were paying 39 million. We were paying 500 million. Seemed a little unfair to me.

REICHARD: Supporters of the withdrawal say the agency had become bloated, overly political, and too deferential to China during the pandemic.

Earlier this month, W.H.O. Director General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus hoped the U.S. would relent:

TEDROS: I hope the U.S. will reconsider its decision and rejoin W.H.O. Withdrawing from W.H.O. is a loss for the United States and it's also a loss for the rest of the world.

EICHER: In May, Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. defended the withdrawal:

KENNEDY: Global cooperation on health is still critically important to President Trump and myself, but it isn't COVID very well under the W.H.O., as the failures of the COVID era demonstrate. The W.H.O. has not even come to terms with its failures during covid, let alone made significant reforms.

… reforms that prior administrations had also pushed for. Kennedy said the W.H.O. had drifted far from its founding mission and become mired in conflicts of interest:

KENNEDY: We need to reboot the whole system, as we are doing in the United States…we're going to continue to focus on infectious disease and pandemic preparedness, but we're also fundamentally shifting the priorities of our health agencies to focus on chronic diseases, which are prevalent in the United States.

REICHARD: Kennedy said the U.S. is building up its own capacity to protect Americans at home and abroad, without the W.H.O.

Outside the administration, though, public health experts argue the withdrawal is a mistake. They say it weakens the ability of the U.S. to detect outbreaks early and respond quickly to another pandemic.

EICHER: Lawrence Gostin is a legal scholar and professor at Georgetown University. He’s also director of the W.H.O. Center on Global Health Law.

GOSTIN: I recognize, my colleagues recognize, that W.H.O. needed reform... But we also recognize that it's really important for American national interests and national security to have a World Health Organization and that if you just take your cards home, you have no influence and you can't get it to reform.

Gostin tried to mediate between the W.H.O. and the Trump administration, but to no avail.

GOSTIN: And by the way, Biden's White House felt, you know, they also wanted reforms. And that we could find a compromise where, you know, the adults in the room would win and that we would have a, you know, something that was a win-win for W.H.O. and the world and for United States’ national interest. But that never happened.

REICHARD: Supporters of the withdrawal argue the U.S. can rely on bilateral, country-by-country, agreements. But Gostin disagrees:

GOSTIN: Anybody who has any, you know, knowledge of this, knows that the United States can't have a bilateral agreement with every country in the world. In fact, right now, we have about 12. And that's it in sub-Saharan Africa. But most of the outbreaks occur in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America. And we have no contracts with them. And it's literally impossible for us to replicate the kind of data that W.H.O. has.

So what happens if a new outbreak begins, say, next month?

GOSTIN: The United States in and of itself is a very capable country and our scientists are the best. So I'm not discounting that. But our scientists have for the last nearly 80 years been in close communication and contact with W.H.O., sharing data, getting information. Our pharmaceutical companies do the same thing. If we're not a member, and we're not talking to them as President Trump ordered the C.D.C., we can't get that ready access to that information. And so what might happen is we might be blindsided or delayed in knowing about this. We might not have the kind of pathogen samples or genomic sequencing data we need to rapidly get a vaccine.

Meanwhile, the agency says it’s secured about three quarters of its funding for the coming year—but the loss of U.S. support is already forcing cuts.

EICHER: On Friday, the day after the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization, HHS Secretary Kennedy said the issue comes down to accountability, and who American health policy answers to:

KENNEDY: And let me say this clearly for the Americans who died alone in nursing homes, the small businesses that were destroyed by reckless mandates, the families whose lives were upended by unelected foreign officials who never answered to them. This decision is for you.

REICHARD: The U.S. may later rejoin the W.H.O., but for now, it’s not in the cards.

NICK EICHER, HOST: A group of mice you call a nest.

But what do you call a nest of mice one thousand strong?

DENNISON: “Crippling, really.”

For Lisa Dennison of the New Hampshire SPCA, it all began with a misunderstanding—as so many problems tend to begin.

A man arrived saying he needed to surrender 150 mice. What he meant was… 150 containers of mice.

DENNISON: You’ve got to have bowls for each of them. You’ve got to have food for them. And bedding—bedding is a consumable. It goes quickly. So does feed.

Within days, the shelter had taken in hundreds more—many of them female… and multiplying.

Still, staff pressed on—clearing space and lining up adopters… like Elisha Murray.

MURRAY: I just figured I could help out.

Because when it comes to mice, small problems do not stay small for long.

It’s The World and Everything in It.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Tuesday, January 27th. You’re listening to WORLD Radio and we’re so happy you’ve joined us.

Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.

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

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: The triathlon of equestrian sport.

Show jumping. dressage, and cross country. Three disciplines riders train for years just to become competitive.

And it has a long lineage: you have to go back to the 19th Century for the first officially recorded American horse show.

WORLD Senior Writer Kim Henderson takes us to a competition in Louisiana.

SOUND: [RAIN FALLING]

KIM HENDERSON: It’s a cold, wet Saturday in Folsom, Louisiana. This is horse country, a place of rolling hills, lush grass, and thoroughbreds.

SOUND: [HORSE NEIGHING]

Today, young participants from several states have gathered for the Fleur de Leap horse show. They ride English style. Light, small saddles. Both hands on the reins. Jodhpurs and jackets. Polished boots.

COACH: Good luck, Vera. Listen for that ringing bell.

ANNOUNCER: Rider number 342, Miss Vera Henderson, riding Summer’s Cowbelle.

The most recent numbers suggest some 80,000 Americans participate in equestrian sports. That means a lot of families are driving to rural farms for lessons. A lot are taking care of horses day after day and preparing for competitions like this.

So what’s the draw of equestrian sports?

VERA: Jump position is when you're leaning forward, and they jump up to your chest, right here...

That’s my granddaughter, Vera. She’s an 11-year-old rider who’s describing the different phases of today’s competition.

The first event is dressage.

VERA: It’s an eventing horse sport…

Dressage is often called “horse ballet.” It’s a precise memorized sequence of graceful movements. Communication between horse and rider is paramount.

ROBIN: It's a 20 meter circle, and she did a great circle. She did a good transition from trot to walk…

That’s Vera’s mom, Robin. She’s in the arena, watching Vera ride.

ROBIN: You don't get a place, you get a score. And then you improve on your score each time you do a test.

That provides a measurable challenge for riders. But Vera’s dad says horse riding has been good for his daughter in other ways, too.

DANIEL: Every lesson they're having to saddle the horse and muck the stables and feed the horse. It's taught her a lot of discipline and hard work and commitment to something.

In this part of the country, riding instruction can cost a hundred dollars an hour. Parents also buy and lease horses, pay vet bills, secure feed. It can be an expensive sport.

SOUND: [HORSE NEIGHS AND CAMERA CLICKS]

Photographer Karen Rosston is under a tent that’s set up beside the dressage arena.

She’s using a long telephoto lens to take photos of the riders.

ROSSTON: It's all about timing. Timing and angle, especially when you get into jumping.

Rosston is looking for a certain shot during this dressage event. It’s when the horse’s legs look like they’re making the letter “M.”

She invites me to look through the viewfinder.

ROSSTON: [Horse neighs] See, that's kind of like an “M” shot. That's what you're after for a good trot shot.

Rosston used to show horses herself. Photography keeps her involved in a sport she loves. Other attendees want the same thing.

Samanta Fugler is an older competitor. She stopped riding for a while during college.

FUGLER: I wanted to get back into horses, so I reached out to my old trainer probably 13 years ago.

Ashley Gifford came to watch her daughter compete. They both love to ride.

GIFFORD: The bond and relationship that you develop with the horse. It's just something you fall in love with. Most of us that are horse girls are forever horse girls.

Trainer Meredith Tipton says that’s the beauty of equestrian sports. She owns River Run Eventing in Hernando, Mississippi. Nine of her students are here to compete.

TIPTON: Horses, tennis, snow skiing, pickleball—those kinds of things you can do until your 80s, 90s, your whole life.

Tipton makes sure her riders hear her marvel over horses.

TIPTON: They're such majestic creatures, and they're so smart, and He made them for us to enjoy. Like the way He formed their mouth. There's a specific space where you put a bit, and if the bit fits correctly, it doesn't touch teeth. Well, that's not the Big Bang. The Lord did that on purpose.

AUDIO: [SPEAKER ANNOUNCES DELAY]

Back at the arena, riders learn there’s a rain delay.

They’re disappointed. They’re ready to get on with the show jumping and cross-country competitions. But at least the scores are out for dressage.

ROBIN: Ok. So Vera did Dressage Intro Test B, and she got a…can’t tell...

Vera got a 36. I asked a high-school aged rider to explain the score.

GIRL: It means that she was riding Cow Bell very well, had a lot of energy, had good circles, got the right leads, and it was just a good test.

Back at the stable, Vera is pleased, too.

VERA: Thirty-six? That’s really good.

But Vera has other business to attend to.

VERA: You gently hold your hand up to their mouth, their muzzle . . .

She’s ready to give her horse some treats.

VERA: I gave her a peppermint. Now I'm going to give her a couple of apple oat treats. They are kind of like a cookie, but for horses. They look like a macaroni noodle.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Our commentary today contains subject matter that is likely not suitable for younger listeners. So we’ll let the music roll for several seconds to give you the opportunity to hit pause on this and come back to it.

Up next, The Mapplethorpe Trial, 35 years ago.

AUDIO: Now, Cincinnati’s News 5 Tonight: Good evening, the eyes of the nation are focused on Cincinnati tonight in what is one of the most important and controversial legal issues ever to face this town. 

WORLD commentator Maria Baer revisits the case—and what the passage of time has changed.

MARIA BAER: Robert Mapplethorpe had died the year before his controversial exhibit opened in Cincinnati. Complications from AIDS.

But posthumously he was still a rising star in the art world. His exhibit included photos that were by any reasonable measure child pornography. It included two naked photographs of very young children, as well as multiple close-up photos of violent homosexual acts.

A local group of Christians mounted a public campaign. They contacted local authorities, and a grand jury soon indicted the Contemporary Arts Center and its director, Dennis Barrie, for obscenity.

But the show, as they say, went on — the exhibit opened, and drew the largest crowd of visitors the museum ever saw. Art critics all over the country rushed to praise the photos as a bold stance against “censorship.” A jury later acquitted Barrie and the museum.

The case became a famous one, and it remains a case study in legal textbooks.

REPORTER: “Art on trial, art on trial” Art on trial … that’s what the 200 protesters outside the courthouse…

It is usually framed as a First Amendment story; a test of the boundary line between “free expression” and the right of a few killjoys not to be shocked. A Smithsonian Magazine retrospective on the case was headlined “When Art Fought the Law and Art Won.”

In a fascinating twist, that framing has aged badly.

It is almost impossible to imagine any museum proudly exhibiting child porn today.

It’s even hard to imagine that any major media or art critics would gamble their Right-Kind-of-Person reputations by defending sexual abuse as “art.”

AUDIO: This week we have a story from our senior producer Evan Chan. It’s about a fight over censorship and free expression. But I am going to warn you that this episode includes extremely graphic sexual content. So…

That’s a 2023 podcast episode about the Mapplethorpe case from Slate Magazine. Note, this warning is merely about hearing a description of the photos. Slate’s a progressive bastion of the media. The irony is almost poetic.

AUDIO: “My mother was in the kind of punk rock scene at that time. I’d just go to artists’ studios and they lived in their studios and it was rough.” There’s one moment he’ll never forget, when he’s about 5 years old. / “I, I remember my mom saying Robert was going to come over and take some pictures of me.”

It’s difficult to say exactly how this happened — that our cultural acceptance went backwards, at least on this one very narrow category.

Maybe it was the years of steadfast advocacy against obscenity by Christians.

Whatever the cause, it is fascinating to observe that viewing the 1990 Mapplethorpe case through a 2026 lens offers a strange and exceedingly rare example of culture returning to a more rational view of obscenity.

This is, unambiguously, positive.

No one seriously thought his photos were beautiful. They thought they were just edgy. But edginess is a pathetic substitute for moral reasoning, and as a guiding principle it will lead people into the most irrational, embarrassing places.

Today, that’s no longer the local art museum. It’s the local children’s hospital.

Since 2015 or so, more than 60 so-called “gender clinics” have opened across our country, seducing troubled children and their terrified parents into poisoning and mutilating their bodies under the pretense of “becoming” another sex. This is another side of Mapplethorpe’s coin. It is, once again, the objectification, sexualization, and predation of children’s bodies.

We don’t call it “art,” but some call it “medicine.” And yet it remains what it has always been: evil.

Christians should hope that in 35 years, we view this moment the same way we now view Mapplethorpe’s photos: a horrible, grotesque blight on civilization. The Mapplethorpe case 35 years later is a reminder that cultural winds change, and that we would do well to heed the Proverbs and Paul and refuse to let them blow us about.

Children will always be the very beloved of God, and the most needful of our protection and care. Today, the same organization of local Ohio citizens that led the charge against Mapplethorpe has grown into a statewide force, now fighting to protect families and kids from gender ideology.

They’re called the Center for Christian Virtue, led by my husband, Aaron. And I couldn’t be more proud, or more sure that in any fight, the side that’s fighting to protect kids is the one every Christian is called to be on.
