ROUGH: It’s Monday, July 14th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Jenny Rough.

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

ROUGH: Up next, Mark Mellinger with today’s news.

MARK MELLINGER, NEWS ANCHOR: Two killed in Kentucky church shooting » Two women are dead after a gunman opened fire at a church in Lexington, Kentucky Sunday.

Here’s how it all unfolded, according to police: The gunman got into a confrontation with and shot a state trooper during a traffic stop near Lexington’s airport Sunday morning, then carjacked a vehicle, which he drove to Richmond Road Baptist Church.

There, he shot and killed two women -ages 72 and 32- and wounded two other victims, one critically. The trooper who was shot is in stable condition.

Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers,

WEATHERS: Some times things happen, you just, don’t have a reason why. But we’re going to be here, for the people of Lexington.

Police shot and killed the gunman at the scene. Chief Weathers says there’s evidence the gunman might have had a connection to people at the church.

Search suspended in Texas » In central Texas, heavy rain forced crews to temporarily suspend search and rescue efforts along the Guadalupe River Sunday.

It was the first time a fresh round of severe weather paused the search for victims of the horrific July 4th flooding.

Colt Lee was one of the thousands of volunteer searchers, waiting it out.

LEE: There’s a possibility that the erosion can, you know, move some things around and make some things more discoverable that might not have been. But generally speaking, it is just a hindrance at the moment, you know, ‘cause it does pause everything.

By late afternoon, teams in part of the area got the ‘all-clear’ to resume their search efforts. The July 4th floods killed at least 129 people, and left at least 170 still missing.

Sunday’s round of severe weather damaged about 100 homes and forced the rescues of dozens of people across several counties.

Noem pushes back re: NYT story on FEMA call response » U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing back on The New York Times’ report of a shortcoming in the federal response to Texas’s July 4th floods.

The report found only about 16 percent of calls to FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, were answered on July 7th, three days after the fatal floods, because contractors at the phone bank had been laid off when a federal contract expired July 5th.

Noem claims that’s not true, telling NBC’s Meet the Press those phone banks were staffed.

NOEM: These contracts were in place and those people were in those call centers and they were picking up the phone and answering these calls from these individuals. So, that report needs to be validified [validated]. I’m not certain it’s accurate.

Noem insists cost-cutting didn’t hamper the federal response, and says any criticism is an attempt to politicize the tragedy.

Gaza ceasefire talks stall, deadly Israeli airstrike goes wrong » Ceasefire talks on the war in Gaza have stalled.

After several days of negotiations in Qatar, Israel and Hamas are now blaming one another for holding up a deal.

The main sticking point appears to be where the Israeli military would redeploy once a ceasefire takes effect.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking in Hebrew, translated into English through an interpreter,

NETANYAHU: We accepted the deal, Hamas rejected it. And what does it want? It wants to stay in Gaza. It wants us to leave, so it can rearm and attack us again and again. I will not accept that.

Meantime, Israel acknowledges an airstrike targeting an Islamic Jihad terrorist in Gaza went wrong Sunday.

Video from the scene shows multiple casualties, including children. Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza says six children were killed in the strike.

New Russian sanctions gaining steam on Capitol Hill » The idea of imposing tough new economic sanctions on Russia is gaining steam on Capitol Hill.

Senators from both parties are working on a bill applying new pressure on Russia to end the war in Ukraine, or face 500 percent tariffs on exports like gas, oil, and uranium.

The Senate hopes to pass the bill this month. Over on the House side, when asked if he’d bring it to the floor, Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News,

JOHNSON: I would. I think there’s a big appetite for that in the House as well. I think tough sanctions are called for. Vladimir Putin has shown an unwillingness to work with President Trump to bring an end to this unjust war, We’ve got to talk tough and we’ve got to act tough. That’s what he responds to. He’s a bully.

Trump says he wants to make some changes to the proposed penalties in the Russia sanctions bill, and he still wants to continue peace talks.

This comes as the president considers approving new funding for Ukraine for the first time since taking office in January.

One year post-Butler PA, new security failures reported » One year after the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, a new government report reveals the depth of the Secret Service’s failings that day.

The report, from the Government Accountability Office, shows Secret Service officials knew 10 days before the rally in Butler that Trump’s life might be in danger, but didn’t share that information with their own teammates working the rally.

Also, the Secret Service’s air surveillance drone wasn’t flying that day. It was broken and the lightly-trained operator didn’t know how to fix it.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul tells CBS’s Face the Nation..

PAUL: It was a cascade of errors. It was just one error after another. When we talked to the people in charge of security, everybody pointed a finger at someone else

The new head of the Secret Service says the agency’s made substantive reforms over the last year to address the security lapses in Butler.
I’m Mark Mellinger.

Straight ahead: Pursuing justice for persecuted Christians in Africa. And later, what’s at the root of President Trump’s intensified criticism of the Fed chair in the Monday Moneybeat.

This is The World and Everything in It.

NICK EICHER, HOST: It’s Monday, the 14th of July.

Glad to have you along for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Nick Eicher.

JENNY ROUGH, HOST: And I’m Jenny Rough. Time now for Legal Docket.

Every U.S. Supreme Court term, some of the most controversial cases center on religious freedom. Protecting an individual’s right to believe, practice, and express his or her belief in God without government interference.

EICHER: Here are a few examples of government interference that the Supreme Court remedied: In 2022, a high school’s preventing a football coach from praying on the field after games. In 2023, a post office refusing to accommodate a Christian mailman’s observance of the Lord’s Day. Most recently, the state of Wisconsin’s denying a religious exemption to Catholic Charities.

ROUGH: But protecting religious freedom isn’t just a concern in America. It’s a worldwide problem. And in many places, it’s not just loss of freedom, but loss of life.

As in Africa:

NELSON: So Deborah was lynched on May 12, 2022.

Sean Nelson is an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom International. He’s talking about Deborah Yakubu, a Christian who lived in a Muslim majority area of Nigeria. That’s a country on the west side of the continent.

NELSON: She was a university student at a school in Sokoto state.

Yakubu was killed for messages she posted on WhatsApp that offended some of her classmates.

In one, she gave praise to Jesus when a student asked her how she did so well on her exam.

On another, she asked her classmates to stop calling for Muslim morning prayers on the app, because the chat was supposed to be about schoolwork.

NELSON: They gathered a mob together of at least 50 people. … They found her hiding in a closet. They pulled her out and they stoned her to death, and then lit her body on fire.

Ten days later, another Christian, Rhoda Jatau, shared a post on social media condemning the mob attack.

NELSON: Her neighborhood was ransacked. She was immediately arrested, she was put into jail for 19 months … and she was accused of blasphemy.

Meaning she’d insulted Islam. Jatau, a mother of five, became one of Nelson’s clients. He worked with lawyers on the ground in Nigeria to defend her in court. The trial took over a year, but in December of 2024, she was found not guilty. Nelson says she stayed humble throughout the ordeal.

NELSON: She was telling me that while she was in prison, she was in a women’s prison, she actually started a Bible study group with the other women who were there in the prison with her. And she’s just been a big symbol for religious freedom within Nigeria and around the world.

There has yet to be any justice for Deborah Yakubu’s murder.

EICHER: Nelson represents Christians who face persecution like this in Africa. And not only Christians, he represents people of many different religions, like Muslims or those of minority faiths, who are also being persecuted.

And whether it’s a severe act of violence or something less than that, lawyers are making an effort to stop these human-rights abuses.

ROUGH: So today, let’s head overseas to learn more about those legal efforts.

A few weeks ago, about 300 Christians, Muslims, and leaders of minority faiths gathered in Africa for an International Religious Freedom summit. The goal: To find legal solutions and other ways to help people practice faith without fear and to secure religious freedom.

EICHER: Let’s start with what genuine religious freedom is. It’s more than just the freedom to believe, or to attend church, or to pray … or even express a belief or unpopular opinion on social media.

NELSON: We’re talking about God-given fundamental freedoms that every single person on earth has. … Every person is made in the image of God.

But religious freedom has limitations. For instance, those of one faith who persecute another cannot claim an act of persecution is the exercise of freedom. You can’t hide behind religious liberty to justify committing crimes … like the religious motivations behind the violence of terrorist groups. There’s a firm line there. ADF attorney Nelson:

NELSON: It doesn’t allow you to kill and shoot and burn and maim other people. It doesn’t allow you to destroy other people’s churches. It doesn’t allow you to silence other people. And you do see that unfortunately many places within Africa and throughout the world.

One way African countries have tried to curb such abuses is by regulating religious activity … namely, the enacting of burdensome laws intended to regulate churches. Like requiring a church to obtain a certain number of signatures, or to pay money, or formally to register before opening its doors even a small home church in a rural community.

Or, to take another example, government approval of religious leaders:

NELSON: Saying pastors or imams have to be licensed by government-approved outlets.

The thinking is with more government oversight there will be fewer abuses.

But Nelson says this isn’t the way to go. Rather … the government should enforce criminal laws already in place. That’s the solution. Hold people who commit crimes accountable for committing crimes.

NELSON: There are already laws on the books … that make it illegal to commit fraud … to incite people to commit violence … to do violent harmful practices against people.  Ensuring the rule of law is enforced. And that there are speedy resolutions to those kinds of issues. When people have violations committed against them, that they can go to an agency or a court that will hear them and will give them a fair shake

ROUGH: Another solution? Nelson encourages African governments to adopt a religious freedom charter. South Africa did that in 2010. Such a document can build upon the guarantees of religious freedom established in a country’s constitution. Clarify the rights and responsibilities.

Educational programs help, too.

And working to stop the spread of Sharia criminal law courts. Such courts apply Islamic law to cases and have aggressive corporal punishments. Like cutting off a person’s hands for theft.

NELSON: And the blasphemy law … which says anyone who insults the Quran or any of its prophets shall be put to death.

Finally, Nelson says too many Muslim majority communities overlook violence against those who convert to Christianity, or simply leave the Islamic faith.

Mubarak Bala is one of them.

BALA: I was born a Muslim in Northern Nigeria.

As a boy, he attended a Muslim-only school. He was forbidden from playing with a neighborhood peer who was Christian.

BALA: This is how I was brought up. A Muslim with an expectation that I dedicate my life to the religion of Islam.

But the older he got, Islam’s teachings began to bother him.

BALA: And I didn't really subscribe to the doctrine about jihad, about killings, about intolerance and other things.

EICHER: In his twenties, he was no longer a practicing Muslim.

BALA: I haven’t believed for a long time.

When he told his family he’d left Islam, his parents thought he’d gone mad and took him to a psychiatric hospital.

He was 28.

When Bala was released, he continued to use social media to speak out against Islam especially against Boko Haram, one of the deadliest jihadist groups.

ROUGH: In 2020, plain-clothes police officers showed up at Bala’s door with guns. He was jailed and pressured to return to Islam. Bala’s jailers told him if he would stop his social media posts, and convert back, he would be given a job and a Muslim wife.

But if he did not—

BALA: The jailers told me … I’ll be killed in that jail. I wasn’t protected. … So if I don’t pray, or if I open my mouth and say I’m not a believer, then I’m putting myself in trouble.

EICHER: He went through the motions to save his life. After sitting in jail for two years, his court date finally arrived. He was formally charged with insulting Islam and inciting a disturbance through online posts.

The judge initially sentenced him to 40 years. But through a series of appeals, his sentence was eventually reduced to five. He was released in 2024.

ROUGH: Today, he calls himself an atheist with a conscience.

Bala’s court battles continue. His appeal is now pending before Nigeria’s Supreme Court where he’s trying to hold his abductors accountable. If he wins—

BALA: It means a lot of people would go to jail, and I would be paid compensation … but there has never been an arrest of anyone that vowed or announced that I should be killed or I am supposed to die.

But prosecuting these types of bad actors has proved difficult.

Africa may seem like a far-off corner of the world.

DEWALT: We are as Americans often remarkably living in a bubble to think that what happens in Africa doesn’t impact us.

Danny DeWalt is the executive director of the Sudreau Global Justice Institute.

DEWALT:It impacts the globe.

The institute is another ally in securing religious freedoms in Africa. And in the decades he’s worked on these issues, DeWalt’s seen how the relationship goes both ways.

DEWALT: So crossing cultures, crossing oceans, crossing borders, upon invitation from one another and sharing our lives, sharing our shared values, and coming together … the power of friendship, in my experience, is the thing that moves the needle in the world.

Still, I wondered how difficult it might be for people of completely different faiths to be on the same page about religious freedom.

TRIMBLE: Religious freedom doesn’t mean that all truth claims are equal.

David Trimble is the president of the Religious Freedom Institute … a nonprofit that works to protect religious freedom around the globe. He also attended the conference.

TRIMBLE: So when we come together, we’re going to have differences. Religious freedom doesn’t mean that all truth claims are valid. I don’t have to validate your truth claims and you don’t have to validate mine. But what religious freedom does mean is that every man, woman, boy, and girl has the right to seek ultimate meaning and truth in God, and they’re free to do that. That’s what we’re here to defend.

[Singing] One heart. One love. Let’s get together and feel alright.

And that’s this week’s Legal Docket.

JENNY ROUGH, HOST: Next up 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 adviser David Bahnsen. David heads up the wealth management firm The Bahnsen Group. He is here now. Good morning to you, David.

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

EICHER: David, tensions between the White House and Fed Chairman Jay Powell seem to have hit the boiling-over point. The administration is taking its criticism beyond the level of policy disagreement … it’s now pointing to cost overruns in the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation, suggesting mismanagement. Do you see it as a serious attempt to push out Powell, or is it more political posturing to increase the pressure on him to cut interest rates?

BAHNSEN: Well, they’re certainly trying to set the stage to either terminate him or get him to resign. It’s, of course, completely bogus and disingenuous about this issue of cost overruns on the project. So it’s sort of a pretextual manipulation, and it’s really quite concerning.

The hard part is that I’m in agreement with the administration that I believe the Fed should be cutting rates and that the reasons being offered are not satisfactory. The problem is it is not the administration’s call to make, and we have laws that do not allow the executive branch to terminate the Federal Reserve chair because they disagree with monetary policy.

So you have to decide if you care about the process or not. I think markets care about the process. I think all of us will care about the process very much for years to come if this is successful in undermining the process.

The irony is that the underlying issue is actually one I think the president is right about—but going about it all of the wrong ways right now, including this highly disingenuous attempt to stir the thing with the renovations on the building.

So I am watching carefully, and at this point I’m not sure that their path is going to be to actually dare to terminate him, as much as trying to force the resignation. Chairman Powell has said he won’t do it, but there is a human sense in which you start to wonder: Is this really worth it? If I were Chairman Powell, would I want to go through this agonizing process?

It’s a vulnerable time right now. No question.

EICHER: Maybe what makes this seem so serious now is we’re hearing names floated of who might replace Powell if he’s pressured out or fired. There’s been speculation that Scott Bessent could be in line as a replacement. But Bessent’s background seems more suited to his current post as Treasury Secretary than Fed Chairman. What do you make of that—and what does it signal?

BAHNSEN: I certainly would far rather have him at Treasury. I believe he would rather be at Treasury, and I think the president would rather have him at Treasury.

What I think is going on there is the president is signaling to a couple of the other people that are in his ear, interested in the position—both of them named Kevin. Kevin Warsh, my old colleague from Morgan Stanley, who has been a Fed governor before and someone I think very highly of, and Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council director, National Review guy, and someone I’ve known very well for a long time.

It was not my impression, candidly, that Kevin Hassett would be interested in the position going into the Trump 2.0 term. But the word now is that Kevin Hassett is interested in being Fed chair. I know that Kevin Warsh is interested.

I think Secretary Bessent’s name being thrown out is President Trump’s sort of palace intrigue way of keeping the two Kevins on their toes.

EICHER: Buried in the new tax-and-spending law is a surprising provision: so-called “Trump Accounts.” Surprised they didn’t call them Big Beautiful Baby Bonds. Starting this year, every newborn U.S. citizen gets $1,000 deposited into a federal investment account. What’s the thinking behind this, and could it make a meaningful impact on long-term investing habits? Do you want to comment on it?

BAHNSEN: I don’t really want to comment on it, but I’m going to because it’s important. It’s so disappointing to me that anyone on the right would be defending the idea of this sort of redistribution whereby we’re using taxpayer money—and of course, it is borrowed taxpayer money because of the debt situation—to go essentially give money to people, and then to say we’re going to do it for three years and then stop when President Trump’s term ends.

This is another one of these provisions where we’re scoring the cost based on what the law says, which is that it’s going to sunset in four years. I just want to know who believes they’re really going to let it sunset in four years.

George McGovern ran for president in 1972 on this idea that we would give everybody $1,000 when they were born. Richard Nixon pummeled him in that election. The right-wing argument against it at the time was the government shouldn’t be in the business of giving people other people’s money.

Now the argument for it is: by doing this, you’re getting all these extra years of compounding, and you’re going into the market, and you’re going to get much better returns than you’d get with something else.

This wasn’t written to replace Social Security. This is just another government program. I don’t particularly care for calling it Trump accounts. President Trump isn’t paying for this. We’re paying for it. The taxpayers are paying for it.

So it’s not a Trump account, it’s a taxpayer account.

This is an odd part of the legislation. It had support from a majority of Republican senators. I’ve talked with Senator Ted Cruz about this, and his defense of it is—even though I don’t believe the government should be in the business of doing it—this is going to cost less than other things will cost in the future because we’re getting the money into the market, getting a big return, and it’s an anti-poverty program that is going to be more useful in the future.

I think there’s merit, I should say, to some of those pragmatic arguments. But I just think as a matter of first principles, this is outside of the scope of government—and particularly federal government.

EICHER: All right, David Bahnsen is founder, managing partner, and chief investment officer at The Bahnsen Group. He writes regularly for WORLD Opinions, and at dividend-cafe.com. David, thank you so much. We’ll see you next week.

BAHNSEN: Thanks so much, Nick.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Today is Monday, July 14th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Nick Eicher.

JENNY ROUGH, HOST: And I’m Jenny Rough. 450 years ago today, a renowned Greek scholar and Bible translator dies of old age. His most well-known work is an English translation of the Bible…but few have heard of it today…because it was quickly replaced the same year by the Church of England’s first authorized version.

Here’s WORLD’s Paul Butler with the World History Book.

PAUL BUTLER: The list of well-known Bible translators is pretty short. You’ve likely heard of John Wycliffe and William Tyndale. Perhaps you’re familiar with Myles Coverdale and John Rogers, but have you heard of Richard Taverner?

Until a week ago, I hadn’t, so I reached out to an expert.

VINER: When you emailed about this Bible, it was the first time anyone had ever asked me about a Taverner Bible. But I don't think that's insignificant…

Wesley Viner is an Early Modern Curator at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C.

The museum has a first edition of the Taverner Bible in its collection…though it’s not on display.

VINER: It's like all of the other Bibles during that time, it's a revision of the English translations that came before it. So it's a revision of the Matthew Bible, which is a self-revision of Coverdale, which is a revision of Tyndale.

From the 1530s to 1611, there are quite a few English Bible projects. Each translator building on the work of others, updating certain passages to better reflect the meaning of the original languages. Many also insert their own translator notes or Biblical commentary.

VINER: Bible translations kind of explode in the 16th century. They really take off. And beginning with the Tyndale Bible through the King James Bible in 1611, you have this series of very, very famous English Bibles. So you go from Tyndale in 1525-26, to the Coverdale Bible, the Matthew Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops Bible, on and on and on. And eventually you get to the King James Bible…The Taverner Bible fits in that time period but it's not really mentioned or talked about a whole lot.

Richard Taverner was a Greek scholar who worked privately for Thomas Cromwell and was appointed to the King’s service. Taverner promoted the reformation in England and produced many religious texts before his 1539 Bible translation, including catechisms, commentaries, and observations from the scriptures.

VINER: These Biblical scholars and linguists are experimenting with the English language trying to figure out how best to express the ideas that they see in Greek and Hebrew in English. Sometimes they're inventing new words, they're inventing new phrases, new idioms, they're adopting words from other languages when they can't find words that make sense to them in English.

It takes a lot of time, work, and resources to publish a Bible in the 16th century, and Taverner’s large pulpit bible might have had a longer lasting legacy in the English speaking world, if it weren’t for King Henry VIII and his Great Bible that came out the same year.

VINER: The Church of England’s attempt to have a single authorized authoritative Bible translation which will exist throughout the Church in England. Everyone will be using the same thing.

The Great Bible has the crown and the Church of England behind it, and its use becomes mandatory, meaning guaranteed distribution.

Plus, King Henry VIII’s bible was overseen by the well known Biblical scholar Myles Coverdale. He had published the first complete English translation of the Bible a few years earlier based on Tyndale’s work.

So it’s easy to see why Taverner’s Bible doesn’t have much of a chance, it’s kind of like an independent film trying to find screens the same weekend as a blockbuster.

VINER: And so,the ill fate of poor Richard Taverner, his edition is sort of blotted out from the history books. And in fact, if you read sort of bibliographic censuses of English Bibles, they'll usually have some line about the Taverner Bible that says something like, it exerted zero influence on subsequent English Bible translations. … It's not true that it just disappeared into a dustbin somewhere. It was still there. People were still using it.

Even with the wide-spread use of the Great Bible, Taverner’s Bible is revised and republished in 1551, or at least his New Testament work:

VINER: It does pop up…after Edward takes the English throne. There's sort of a renewed interest in English Bibles in the late 1540s and early 1550s.

The Museum of the Bible has digitized a handful of pages of the 1551 Taverner Bible. The Old Style bold printing is striking with a lot of text on every page. There are chapter headings, but no verse markings. There is very little artwork. The wording is foreign to modern ears, yet familiar:

VINER: In the beginning created God, heaven and earth. The earth was void and empty and darkness was upon the deep and the spirit of God was born upon the waters. And God said, let there be light and there was light and God saw the light that it was good …

Richard Taverner and his Bible fall out of favor during the reign of Catholic Queen Mary, but Taverner remerges when Queen Elizabeth ascends the throne in 1558. He preaches regularly at St. Mary’s Church in Oxford, even becoming High Sheriff for Oxfordshire before his death on July 14th, 1575.

In every field there are hall-of-famers and headliners who get most of the attention…but there are countless others diligently doing their part in the shadows, off the beaten path, in obscurity. People like Richard Taverner.

VINER: Each of them plays their own unique role in this sort of millennia-long story of the Christian church and the Bible and its transmission over time and its translation and its spread around the world. that sequence of Bibles, that shaped the church's theology, its ecclesiology, its relationship with the world, its understanding of politics.

Seeing how different copies, different manuscripts, different editions, different translations affect that narrative, that progress in unexpected ways is, I think, very interesting.

That’s this week’s WORLD History Book, I’m Paul Butler, with assistance from Emma Eicher.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Tomorrow: a battlefield assessment of the ongoing war in Ukraine. And, we’ll meet a specialized farmer whose primary crop is only available a few weeks a year, but there’s plenty to do year round to make ends meet. That and more tomorrow.
