The World and Everything in It - January 4, 2022

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Good morning!

The auto industry is sucker punched with supply chain problems.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Also Canadians of faith fight for their rights.

Plus our Classic Book of the Month—this time a well loved pro-life resource.

And taking the time to be kind.

REICHARD: It’s Tuesday, January 4th. 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 the news with Kent Covington.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: U.S. COVID-19 infections continue to soar as FDA endorse boosters of children 12+ » COVID-19 cases continue to soar to new record levels in the United States. A rolling 7-day average shows about 370,000 cases per day. That’s well over the previous pandemic peak of just over a quarter of a million daily infections back in January.

But as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul noted on Monday, there is some good news to report.

HOCHUL: We can say with certainty that the cases are not presenting themselves as severely as they could have or we had feared. So that is the silver lining, if you will.

That’s likely because the omicron variant accounts for the majority of new infections and that strain is less severe than the delta variant.

Former acting director of the CDC, Dr. Richard Besser told NBC’s Today Show…

BESSER: This could be the path out of this pandemic. You know, as this variant spreads around and infects more and more people, hopefully, the protection you get from having had an omicron infection will provide some protection from other variants.

But in the meantime, the sheer volume of cases is straining hospitals in many areas. And the more dangerous delta variant is also still spreading.

On Monday, the FDA announced that it will approve booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine for kids as young as 12.

But the CDC will have the final word on that in the coming days. Boosters already are recommended for everyone 16 and older.

British P.M. warns of continued strain on British hospitals » Meantime, across the Atlantic, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned on Monday that the country's health system will remain under strain for weeks.

JOHNSON: The pressure on our NHS, on our hospitals, is going to be considerable in the course of the next couple of weeks and maybe more, because there’s no question that omicron continues to surge through the country.

Johnson was speaking after a report that a group of hospitals in the eastern county of Lincolnshire had declared a “critical incident” due to “extreme and unprecedented” staff shortages.

The caseload is also soaring in the U.K., with nearly 160,000 infections reported for England and Scotland yesterday.

Senate to vote on changing Senate rules to eliminate filibuster » Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday that the Senate will vote on using the so-called nuclear option, changing the Senate rules to kill the filibuster. WORLD’s Leigh Jones has more.

LEIGH JONES, REPORTER: In a letter to colleagues, Schumer said the Senate—quote—“must evolve” and will “debate and consider” the rules changes within the next two weeks. That as Democrats seek to overcome a Republican blockade of a sweeping overhaul to U.S. election law.

The Senate is evenly split with each party controlling 50 seats and Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker.

But most legislation is subject to a filibuster and Democrats need 60 votes to overcome it unless they do away with it all together.

The filibuster dates back to the 1800s. It allows the minority party to block legislation from reaching the Senate floor.

Schumer’s planned vote will put more pressure on two moderate Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who oppose changing the rules.

Five nuclear powers issue pledge to prevent nuclear war » Five of the world’s top nuclear powers are pledging to make sure a nuclear war never happens.

The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, the United States, the U.K., France, Russia, and China issued a rare joint statement on Monday.

They stated in part—quote—“We declare there could be no winners in a nuclear war, it should never be started.”

The statement comes ahead of a review of a nuclear treaty later this year.

Winter storm dumps snow on nation’s capital » AUDIO: [SOUND OF TRACTOR]

Tractors plowed through snow outside the Capitol on Monday. Some parts of the Washington D.C. area got more than a foot of snow.

The weather shut down many federal government offices, but not the Capitol.

BLACK: As the snow falls on Capitol Hill, we thank you for being our shelter in the time of storm.

Senate chaplain Barry Black heard there.

The storm knocked out power to more than a half-million customers as it rolled up the East Coast, impacting several states. Other regions also got a New Year snowstorm, including much of the Pacific Northwest.

The weather created even more headaches for air travelers with short-staffed airlines already cancelling thousands of flights as workers call in sick with COVID-19.

Teams continue search for the missing in wake of wildfire » Had there been snow in suburban Denver last week, as there usually is this time of year, it might have prevented a wildfire that destroyed nearly a thousand buildings.

Teams continued searching Monday for two people still missing after the fire.

Survivors, meanwhile, sorted through the charred remains of their homes to find whatever was left.

Congressman Ed Perlmutter represents the district where the fire raged. He told reporters…

PERLMUTTER: When you go through there and see the burned out husks of cars and trucks, and steel lamp posts bent over because of the heat, it’s remarkable that more people weren’t hurt.

Investigators are still looking for the cause of the wildfire.

The inferno broke out unusually late in the year following months of drought.

Former Theranos CEO Holmes guilty of fraud and conspiracy » A California jury found former biotech CEO Elizabeth Holmes guilty on four counts of fraud and conspiracy Monday.

Once a rising star in Silicon Valley, Holmes was accused of duping investors and patients about a flawed blood-testing technology that she hailed as a medical breakthrough.

The jury found her not guilty of four other felony charges. On the three remaining charges, the jury was deadlocked.

Holmes could now face up to 20 years in prison for each count.

I’m Kent Covington. Straight ahead: a traffic jam in the auto industry.

Plus, the little moments that matter.

This is The World and Everything in It.

NICK EICHER, HOST: It’s Tuesday the 4th of January, 2022.

You’re listening to The World and Everything in It and we’re glad you’ve joined us today! Good morning, I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. First up: car shopping! Or … not.

The supply-chain issues created by pandemic policies have affected everything from lumber to packaging. But some of the most significant price increases have come in the automotive industry.

EICHER: New and used cars are a lot more expensive than they were two years ago. But even people who aren’t in the market for a new set of wheels are feeling the price point pain.

WORLD’s Josh Schumacher reports.

JOSH SCHUMACHER, REPORTER: California Reflections is one of the top-rated auto-body shops in Livermore, California. Its parking lot is full of cars missing bumpers and wheels, or needing something else repaired or replaced.

The shop’s technicians are busy, but that doesn’t mean business is good.

SCHELL: It's hard because we're basically just trading dollars right now. We're not making a profit.

That’s Kevin Schell. He owns California Reflections.

SCHELL: We're busy. We have a full shop but it's because cycle time is down. Cars are here longer and rent and overhead doesn't care about that: it comes every month, every two weeks.

Schell and his crew are jumping from job to job, but they’re not finishing the work on each car quite as quickly as they used to. That’s because they’re missing one key component: the parts necessary to complete those jobs.

SCHELL: I'd say yeah, like 35 percent of the parts that that we're ordering, have some delay due to backlog, stock shortage or unreleased ETA for production.

That means they often don’t know when the parts they need will arrive.

Ben Lieberman is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He says the part shortage is largely due to the same global supply chain issues that have plagued just about every industry in recent months.

LEIBERMAN: That part you might need, may need to come through a port. And there's been a lot of problems with with ports in in recent months. So there are there are a lot of backlogs in getting the parts needed to repair existing vehicles…

But Leiberman says increased demand also plays a major role.

LEIBERMAN: The average age of the vehicle on the road has been inching up by a few months each and every year. In the past several years, it does seem as though people are preferring to spend money to repair their existing vehicles rather than buy new.

And that trend really hit home for repair shops like California Reflections when the pandemic began in 2020. Schell and his crew thought it would improve in 2021 once people started going back to work. But it’s actually gotten worse.

SCHELL: I again, thought that okay, well, we should be catching up. But because it seems to be getting worse. And we're already you know, we're going into 2022…

California Reflections isn’t the only auto-repair shop facing this struggle. It’s a nationwide problem caused by ripple effects across the whole automotive industry.

Desmond Lachman is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He says the problems begin before cars even roll off the assembly line.

LACHMAN: Well, the main problem that the automotive industry is facing is there's a shortage of semiconductor chips…

Those are the chips responsible for running the computers built into just about every new car.

LACHMAN: At the same time, what we've got is we've got a very big increase in demand for automobiles…

Lachman says thanks to pandemic stimulus money, many families have the ability to buy a new car. But that new desire to spend, combined with the shortage of computer chips, has had some undesirable effects.

LACHMAN: So in short, because of factors both on the demand side and the supply side, what we're seeing is we're seeing new car prices rising by something like 12 percent, over the past year, and we're seeing used car prices are rising by more like something like 30 percent over the past year.

Lachman doesn’t think higher prices will last forever. But he says it could be 2023 before buyers see some relief.

LACHMAN: So I don't see this as being a permanent feature, you know, of the automobile industry or of the economy. But this is going to be a difficult patch that we're going to have to get through next year.

And that is bad news for auto shops like California Reflections.

SCHELL: The people are getting a paycheck. And landlords are being paid and So we're taking the hit right now as, as an owner, I'm working harder than I ever have and making no money…

Schell says that while the shop has survived so far, it’s definitely not sustainable.

SCHELL: At some point, if it keeps getting worse, that's going to end, you know.

Reporting for WORLD, I’m Josh Schumacher in Livermore, California.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Coming up next on The WORLD and Everything in It: religious liberty in Canada.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is what protects freedom of conscience and religion in that country.

That includes the right to gather for worship, and to speak and live out one’s views in public without fear of persecution.

But as is the case in the United States, governments regularly test the scope and durability of those liberties. And amid pandemic policies, those freedoms face numerous challenges.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms is a legal defense organization that helps to guard those liberties in Canada.

Marty Moore is an attorney with the Justice Center, and he joins us now with an update on several religious rights cases. Marty, good morning!

MARTY MOORE, GUEST: Good morning, Mary.

REICHARD: Let’s start in British Columbia. This is a case about the government completely prohibiting worship services and certain other indoor gatherings until at least the middle of this month. Tell us about that.

MOORE: Yep, that's exactly right. In British Columbia, you could go to a restaurant and join five of your friends at a table, take your masks off, eat. But if you showed up at a religious service with other than just yourself, you would be subject to fines. And that was an order that was implemented for at least six months. And to this date, the government of British Columbia is still imposing prohibitions on religious services in northern BC, unless you're vaccinated, for example. And so we have a huge violation of religious freedom in British Columbia. It's been disrespected, it's been discriminated against in regard to other activities that have been permitted. And we are now at the Court of Appeal in British Columbia in regard to religious freedom to gather for worship.

REICHARD: Okay, and you’re defending one church that was fined for conducting a Zoom service with a skeletal crew of a few people to lead the service and run the sound. What’s the latest with that?

MOORE: Yeah, that's exactly it. It's shocking to think that when the church is actually doing what the government had told them to do - conduct virtual services - that they were being fined for, for doing just that - gathering in a church building five or six people, a sound tech and worship leaders. And, you know, we've been in negotiations with the Crown, shockingly, they're not backing down. So this isn't just a, you know, a slip, oops, we violated religious freedom. This is an intentional effort targeting faith groups who are gathering in exercise of their freedoms.

REICHARD: We talked with you, I think back in the Fall, about pastors James Coates and Tim Stephens. They’ve actually served jail time for holding worship services in violation of government orders. What’s happening with their cases?

MOORE: Their cases are still ongoing. We have launched a civil lawsuit against the government authorities who arrested Tim Stevens under really false pretenses in our view, and that now has opened up a new front pushing back against the government. Of course, we are challenging the constitutionality of the orders under which those individuals were imprisoned in the first place. And there's a 10 day trial scheduled here in February to address those constitutional issues in Alberta.

REICHARD: You’re also defending other religious leaders in similar cases — in Manitoba and Ontario, I believe. Tell us about those.

MOORE: Yeah, we, Manitoba, another pastor who's been arrested by (?), we're representing him, you know, Ontario, Pastor Henry Hildebrand and Jacob Briome (?). In their churches, they are subject to millions of dollars in fines. We are going to court to assert that when you categorically prohibit and I mean, Ontario went up to five gathering. It went up to a 10 gathering limit after we sued them on the five gathering limit, but still prohibited outdoor church services in some capacities, or limited them strictly to under 10 people. We are challenging those orders across the board and a constitutional challenge on behalf of these pastors. And that hearing is is set to go here in the next month or two as well.

REICHARD: Marty, what are the pandemic rules and restrictions in Canada right now regarding services? I guess they vary by province?

MOORE: Yeah, they absolutely vary province by province. In some cases like British Columbia, that I mentioned, they vary by locations within a province. So the northern British Columbia area, the provincial health officers deem that to be a low vaccination rate. So you can't even go to church unless you're vaccinated in northern British Columbia. In southern British Columbia, you can go to church, but let, reduced capacity unless the church requires everyone to be vaccinated. In Quebec right now. You are not allowed to go to a house of worship at all. Those are also subject to curfew orders there. So we're seeing new restrictions announced in Ontario today, the restrictions on religious worship change from from moment to moment, day to day.

REICHARD: Canada, as I understand it, has passed a broadly worded law banning so-called conversion therapy. What can you tell us about that?

MOORE: This ban on so called conversion therapy is the broadest ban enacted in the name of conversion therapy anywhere in the world. It utilizes a definition that is unknown to medicine, unknown to psychologists, or counseling associations. It really bans the conversations that an individual would even have with their own faith leader. The implications are incredible. It actually directly discriminates against anyone on the LGBTQ spectrum, who would be seeking counseling to deal with the issues that they're facing, other than counseling that would affirm and push the ideological agenda advocated in the name of the LGBTQ community. And so this law passed by unanimous consent through the House and the Senate in Canada is actually one of the most shocking violations of religious freedom anywhere in the in the free world - or the so called free world. And, unfortunately, there's no political will to fight it in Canada, obviously. So it is likely going to end up in the courts as well.

REICHARD: I realize you are a lawyer, not a philosopher. But it’s hard not to draw conclusions about the actions of the Canadian government as it views religious faith. Comment?

MOORE: Yeah, well, I mean, religious freedom is a kind of a canary in the coal mine, if you will. When it's attacked, other fundamental freedoms are quickly undermined as well. And our society has lost sight of the value of protecting the practice and expression of religious faith, despite it being in fact, the first of the fundamental freedoms protected under our charter. But government's continue to trample on religious freedom, religious freedom with generally apathy from the public, and so far near impunity from the courts, at least in regard to COVID. And the Justice Center is fighting to change that. I think people are beginning to realize when you see pastors getting arrested simply for conducting a religious service that harmed absolutely no one, we realize that our society's freedoms are are being jeopardized. And again, religious freedom being the canary in the coal mine that it is non religious people I think, are beginning to wake up to the idea that, you know, a government can't just discriminate at will against people of faith and, and that right needs to be protected. Otherwise we can risk slipping into the same kind of totalitarianism that has marred much of the world to date.

REICHARD: Marty Moore with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has been our guest. Marty, thank you!

MOORE: Thank you, Mary.

NICK EICHER, HOST: A “Jeopardy” contestant found himself embarrassingly stumped last week on a political question. 

Ah, I get it: It’s Jeopardy. I should say, a political clue.

AUDIO: In 2021, she became the first female governor of New York state. … [beeps] Ben, that’s your governor! Kathy Hochul, her name.

The other contestants could be excused for not knowing the answer, but Ben Walthall lives in Brooklyn!

He later explained that the episode was actually taped a couple of months earlier and Hochul hadn’t been in office very long at the time.

Valid excuse? Well…

AUDIO: [BUZZER]

I’m sorry. We can’t allow it.

But, no hard feelings on the governor’s part! She invited him by video to a New Year’s Eve press conference for a do-over.

Someone off camera again read the clue: In 2021, she became the first female governor of New York state…

HOCHUL: Ben, you know the answer.
WALTHALL: Who is Kathy Hochul? Yes!

Everyone deserves a second chance!

It’s The World and Everything in It.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Tuesday, January 4th.

Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day.

Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher. Time now for Classic Book of the Month.

January 22nd marks the 49th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. To mark that grim milestone, Emily Whitten has a very helpful recommendation that tackles the most common pro-abortion arguments.

EMILY WHITTEN, REPORTER: In 1992, 20 years after Roe v. Wade, author and pastor Randy Alcorn published his book, ProLife Answers to ProChoice Questions.

Here’s Alcorn discussing the book in 2017 at Veritas Evangelical Seminary.

ALCORN: When somebody says, ‘I’m personally against abortion but I still think others have the right to choose,’ they think they’re taking the moral highground. Wait a minute. Why are you personally against it? And isn’t the only good reason to be against abortion a reason that would dictate you would be against other people having an abortion? Because if it doesn’t take a human life, then what’s the big deal?

Alcorn’s book contains roughly 40 pro-choice arguments followed by detailed rebuttals. He begins with the statement, “It’s uncertain when human life begins….” And he follows with this response: if we aren’t sure when human life begins, “shouldn’t the benefit of the doubt go to preserving life?” He then goes a step further, quoting prominent scientists and physicians who agree we do know when human life begins: conception.

Throughout his book, Alcorn presents facts, logic, and helpful Bible passages. But he also provides first-hand stories. Here’s one similar to those in the book.

ALCORN: Nancy Jo Mann wrote this. She had an abortion and she delivered her dead baby when the doctor and nurses were actually out of the room. And she wrote this. She says, ‘After I delivered her, I held her in my hands. She had a head of hair and her eyes were opening. I looked at her tiny little hands. Her fingers and toes. She even had fingernails and swirls of fingerprints that I could see. Everything was perfect. She was not a fetus. She was not a product of conception. She was a tiny human being.’

I wanted to talk with pastor and author George Grant about Alcorn’s book for several reasons. For one thing, Grant himself wrote books on abortion, including the recently republished Killer Angels about the founder of Planned Parenthood. Like Alcorn, Grant also saw the growth of the pro-life movement first hand. In the 80s and 90s, his church’s outreach to its neighbors naturally led to care for pregnant women and babies. Alcorn’s book met a pressing need.

GRANT: I used it in leadership training for our deacons and for our elders, to help them understand. We made this available to our crisis pregnancy center volunteers, whether they were counselors and they worked in the clothing closet, or they were a receptionist, or a greeter at the front door. We wanted to make sure that they had those good solid soundbite answers.

Grant also found Alcorn’s book useful in other contexts.

GRANT: He tackled every single one of the questions that were being raised in the media, that we would encounter as we did sidewalk counseling, and that we would hear from the pro abortion advocates that would be thrown in our face during debates or confrontations, or, you know, the kinds of things that politicians would raise as we would, you know, visit with them in their offices. What Randy wanted to do was say, Well, okay, examine every single one of these questions, honestly, and give substantive, Biblical, gracious answers to all of them.

The book’s latest edition came out in 2000, so a few statistics are out of date. But most still apply. For instance, abortion advocates argued prior to Roe that between 5,000 and 10,000 women died each year from illegal abortions. The true figure was an average of 250 deaths per year. And by 1972, while abortion was still illegal in most of the country, antibiotics dropped that number to 39 deaths that year.

Alcorn encourages his readers, “Do your homework…The other position is dependent on diverting attention from the central facts; yours is dependent on drawing attention to them.” Grant agrees.

GRANT: The truth is our ally in any of the cultural battles that we face, and particularly when it comes to these life and death issues. We always want to make sure that the facts that we have are spoken as, as we're commanded in Scripture to speak the truth in love. So we want to make sure that we do that. But in order to genuinely love, we've got to have that truth. And in order to have the truth, we have to have the facts.

Fifty years after Roe, unborn children remain under attack. Just listen to this roundup of recent quotes. First, you’ll hear poet Amanda Gorman, then journalist Ezra Klein, and finally Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor.

GORMAN: Pregnancy is a private and personal matter and should not require the permission of any politician.

KLEIN: Pregnancy is dangerous. It kills, it scars, it traumatizes. This is what some states are saying, that they will force, actually force, people to go through.

SOTOMAYOR: How is your interest anything but a religious view? The issue of when life begins has been hotly debated by philosophers since the beginning of time.

Randy Alcorn addresses these and many more arguments in our Classic Book of the Month, ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments. George Grant, as usual, sums it up best.

GRANT: It has been thought through carefully. It has been amalgamated in a way that it is a useful tool. This is the Swiss Army knife of the pro-life movement.

I’m Emily Whitten.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Today is Tuesday, January 4th. 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. Here’s WORLD commentator Whitney Williams on loss, gain, and banana bread.

WHITNEY WILLIAMS, COMMENTATOR: “You better call Randy,” my husband told me one evening as I was getting ready for bed. “He’s in the hospital and it doesn’t sound good.”

“The hospital?” I questioned, as I searched for my phone. Just a few days before, our 80-year-old neighbor had joined us for fried fish in our messy living room. It was a special evening. Normally he was busy caring for his wife, who suffers with dementia. We’d always just brought covered plates to their house. But that evening, she was at their daughter’s and he had the night free. I remember him sitting, relaxed, in our overstuffed leather chair, smiling and not wanting to rush the evening. We discussed politics, our shared faith, the differences between Texas deer and Oklahoma deer, and how my boys never seemed to have shoes on when he saw them outside. He meant it as a compliment. I’d rolled my eyes at him when he sided with my husband over a man’s need for a thermal rifle scope.

I hit Randy’s name in my contacts and looked out of my bedroom window into the darkness as the phone dialed, reflecting on all of the seemingly insignificant, little moments that had brought us to this point. My sons leaving little yellow flowers, AKA weeds, in Randy’s mailbox … Randy, in return, bringing them cookies, candy, and Cracker Jacks, his favorite childhood treat.

I’d photographed unusual moles for the guy and plucked long hairs from a stitched up surgical site on his neck—ok, so it got a little weird, but his wife’s hands were unsteady and his daughter lived an hour away.

I remember him walking up to my boys’ lemonade stand and teaching them the proper way to organize their bills—”you want them all facing the same way, see, with the smaller denominations on the top.” During last year’s Texas snowpocalypse, my husband stayed up late and got up early to keep Randy’s generator running.

RANDY: Whitney? It’s Randy. Could you have Mix come by? I’m having trouble getting the generator started. Bye.

Having a power source is a matter of life and death for a man whose heart relies on an LVAD pump. Once Randy brought me some old bananas and asked if I’d make him some bread. I was busy and overwhelmed that day, quite honestly, but I dropped everything and made it right then. He said it was the best banana bread he’d ever tasted.

And now, here we were on the phone together, discussing the major surgery he’d be having the next day, both secretly wondering if this would be our last conversation. I prayed with him, told him that we’d been blessed by his friendship, and then I said “goodbye.”

That was, indeed, our last conversation. Our friend Randy never made it home from the hospital. When his daughter called to tell me the news, she said that just before he was admitted, he had shown her a video that we’d sent him the night of the fish fry …

The video showed one of my 4-year-olds, teary-eyed, snot-nosed, and sucking his fingers, upset that he missed the opportunity to see Randy off that evening …

JAKE: “I I I wanta say bye.” …

WHITNEY: “He was upset that he didn’t get to say anything to you before you left. What do you want to tell Randy?”

JAKE: “Bye!”

“He loved you all so much,” his daughter told me, which got me to thinkin’: Maybe all of these little moments in life aren’t so little after all.

I’m Whitney Williams.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Tomorrow: new year, new election. We’ll talk about the races to watch in this year’s midterms.
