The World and Everything in It: May 16, 2025

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Good morning!

White refugees from South Africa, Planned Parenthood raking in tax dollars, and the ACTS 17 collective.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: We’ll talk about it all on Culture Friday with John Stonestreet.

And we review a new documentary about a civil rights movement you’ve probably never heard of.

REPORTER: We’re going live to Gallaudet University where students are protesting because they want a say in their school’s future.

Also, barista, coder, retail clerk—what if your work matters more than you think it does?

BROWN: It’s Friday, May 16th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.

REICHARD: And I’m Mary Reichard. Good morning!

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

MARK MELLINGER, NEWS ANCHOR: Supreme Court hears birthright citizenship/district judges case » Is President Trump’s executive order denying birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants constitutional? That’s what the Supreme Court is weighing.

Justices heard oral arguments in the case Thursday, and a majority voiced concerns about the president’s order. Attorney John Eastman supports the White House’s arguments.

EASTMAN: I think the historical record is much stronger in favor of President Trump’s executive order than the three or four justices that commented about the merits were willing to accept.

New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin is representing the nearly 20 Democrat-led states challenging the order.

PLATKIN: It’s about whether the rule of law and the constraints on the executive and, as Justice Jackson said, whether the president can act like a king. The answer I think the Court is going to say is no, he cannot.

But this case could have implications far beyond this issue. Birthright citizenship is just one of several matters over which lower court judges have issued nationwide injunctions to block the Trump Administration’s policies. Even liberal Justice Elena Kagan expressed concern over that.

KAGAN: Because of the forum selection process, a party goes to one place- you know, in the first Trump Administration it was all done in San Francisco. And then in the next administration, it was all done in Texas. And there is a big problem that is created by that mechanism.

It’s possible the justices could uphold birthright citizenship while curbing the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions. A ruling could come by the end of June.

Trump wraps up Middle East trip, touts UAE investments deal » President Trump ended his four-day swing through the Middle East with what he says is another trillion dollar-plus investment in the United States.

The president spent part of Thursday in the United Arab Emirates, where he thanked the UAE for committing to $1.4 trillion dollars’ worth of investments in AI, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing over the next decade.

Combine that with commitments from other countries in the region this week, and Trump says it adds up to a big number.

TRUMP: We have now, I think, substantially over $10 trillion dollars of investment. And now, when I add the $1.4 trillion, we easily break that number.

Among the latest investments Trump’s touting: the U.S. and UAE agreed to work together to build the largest AI data center outside the United States in Abu Dhabi.

Trump optimistic about Iran nuclear deal progress » During his Middle East swing Thursday, Trump also expressed optimism that the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran on that country’s nuclear program.

TRUMP: Iran has sort of agreed to the terms. We’re not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran.

There have been several rounds of talks between the two countries the past few weeks.

A top Iranian leader says Iran is prepared to get rid of its uranium stockpiles, and to promise never to make nuclear weapons. In return, Iran wants the immediate lifting of Western economic sanctions, which have crippled its economy.

Iran has always insisted its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes like energy production, a claim the U.S. has long doubted.

SOUND: [Missile hits building]

Dozens killed in overnight airstrikes in Gaza » More than 50 people are dead after a second night of heavy bombing in Gaza. That’s according to the hospital morgue in Khan Younis, the city that took the most fire in this latest round of airstrikes.

No official comment from Israel’s military, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this week that his country’s troops would be pushing ahead with an escalation of force in Gaza.

He says that escalation is aimed at destroying Hamas, the terror group that governs Gaza and launched the brutal attack on Israel that provoked the Gaza war in the fall of 2023.

Low expectations for Ukraine peace talks » The Trump Administration says it doesn’t have high expectations for today’s peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, the first direct talks between the two sides in more than three years.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

RUBIO: I think it’s abundantly clear that the only way we’re going to have a breakthrough here is between President Trump and President Putin. It’s going to require that level of engagement to have a breakthrough in this matter.

Rubio, echoing similar comments from the president himself.

Earlier this week, it looked like a possibility that both Trump and Putin would attend today’s peace talks in Turkey.

But when Putin announced he wouldn’t be coming, Trump followed suit. Now Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has backed out, too, rendering the talks a meeting of second-tier delegations.

Rubio says Trump is getting impatient with the lack of progress in ending Russia’s war on Ukraine, and hinted the president could meet for peace discussions soon.

Florida appeals court strikes down state’s no-parental-consent abortion law » A Florida appeals court says a state provision allowing minors to get an abortion without their parents’ consent is unconstitutional. WORLD's Travis Kircher has more.

TRAVIS KIRCHER: The case is based on a 17-year-old girl's request for an abortion at six weeks gestation without her parent's consent.

Florida law typically requires written consent from a parent before any kind of medical procedure can be performed on a minor.

But a provision in the state law says the court can provide a judicial waiver for abortion, if certain criteria are met.

The 17-year-old argued she was mature enough to decide on her own whether to end her baby's life.

But after hearing from her, Florida’s Fifth District Court of Appeals said the teen lacked emotional development and stability.

The court also noted that the teen made the exact same request, 11 months earlier.

In its ruling Wednesday, the court called the judicial waiver provision unconstitutional,.violating parents' 14th Amendment right to due process.

For WORLD, I'm Travis Kircher.

I'm Mark Mellinger.

Straight ahead: John Stonestreet and Culture Friday. Plus, Collin Garbarino reviews a new documentary from AppleTV.

This is The World and Everything in It.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: It’s Friday the 16th of May.

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

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. It’s Culture Friday.

Joining us now is John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center and Host of the Breakpoint Podcast. Good morning.

JOHN STONESTREET: Good morning.

REICHARD: John, let’s begin with the debate over the arrival of the first group of white South African refugees, known as Afrikaners, into this country.

This week forty-nine men, women and children arrived in D.C., waving American flags. The Trump administration says these families are fleeing persecution by the South African government. It allowed their farms to be taken without compensation.

The South African government says, prove it. Meanwhile, in this country, some on the left are claiming this is white supremacy at work, calling it a double standard because tens of thousands of refugees from other countries who want to resettle in America are in limbo due to the stalled U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Even some faith-based refugee groups are questioning this.

So John, how should we evaluate claims of a double standard?

STONESTREET: Well, it might be. It might be a double standard on behalf of the Trump administration. It might be a double standard on behalf of everyone critiquing the Trump administration. You know, humans are quite capable, and human institutions are quite capable of double standards. I do think that any sort of admissions program like this has to prioritize certain factors, and I think historically, religion and religious conviction has been among the highest factors taken into consideration when accepting refugees. And I think that's the kind of thing that Christians should actually advocate for. That is essential. 

And I know people are going to hear that and go, ‘Wait, you’re critiquing this decision, and you’re also trying to protect Christians above everyone else.’ And the answer is, yes, I am. I think that's actually what the Bible tells us to do, is to care about people of faith. And we know that religious persecution, particularly the persecution of Christians, was at its highest in recorded history last year, and the year before that was the second year, and the year before that was the third year, because this is the trend. This has been going in for quite some time, and we’ve got real issues in trying to kind of parse that through. 

Now, there are other things, right? There are mechanical parts of this decision in terms of overall numbers and ease of determining the level of need, how big of a strain this will put on our country, things like that. And I think along those lines, this was a pretty straightforward decision. We're not talking about thousands, and we are talking about a situation in South Africa where that history of racial—I say tension, it’s kind of an understatement, isn't it—that the history of racial conflict there in that nation has reversed as the power there has reversed, and there's plenty of evidence of that, I think. So there's some low hanging fruit here, I guess you could say, that I think that's what the government sees. But we're going to have to figure out the refugee piece. And I think the American people have struggled to distinguish between immigration, illegal immigration, coming through the southern border, and what we do with people who actually need help. 

And we have a history of taking in refugees. I think the American culture would do well with strong Christian families. Because, you know, I go back to what the apologist, the earliest apologist, said about the first Christians: You don't want to persecute these people, because they're the best citizens you got. Well, I think that, you know, could potentially be the case here as well. So I think we're going to have to figure out this priority, and I don't think we have figured out the right priorities as of yet.

REICHARD: I do want to follow up with that, this is from NPR: “In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration.”

STONESTREET: Yeah, I mean, I don't put a whole lot of weight on the moral proclamations of the Episcopal Church. You know they have confused right and wrong on all kinds of issues, particularly sexuality. And let's just be really clear. If this were a group of sexually deviant white South Afrikaners, the Episcopal Church would be all about resettling them. They're not consistent at all on this. The Episcopal Church has been completely captivated by the wrong criteria, and that criteria is that someone is oppressed by a particular racial, ethnic or sexual category. And that's the entire moral discussion is who somebody belongs to. So I, you know, I'm I would say that both the government and the American people should be grateful that any relationship between the Episcopal Church and our National Government is severed.

BROWN: Well, moving on now: A telling report from Planned Parenthood this week. In the two years after the Supreme Court ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion, the organization received more taxpayer funding than any time in history.

A quick review of the numbers: The report for the year ending in 2024 reveals more than 400-thousand abortions were done and over 790-million dollars in taxpayer funding was received. Essentially, taxpayers became Planned Parenthood’s largest financial contributor.

Republicans in the House have been trying to defund the organization. John, I wonder is this the boost they need to finally get it done?

STONESTREET: Well, you know, I'm hopeful, because there's a whole lot of things that the GOP has claimed to be has claimed as priorities over the last, well, more than a decade, couple decades, including, you know, life and have had really, I think the power to do it at times, and instead, what's happened is nothing, and this is probably the primary example, is the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. And I’ve had this conversation with Republican lawmakers. The justification is, well, we can't not fund the government over this issue. We can't not fund the military over this issue. Like well, maybe. 

But why is it more than last year? Why does it continue to be more and more and more and more? The number that I don't have in front of me, and is just how much this funding of Planned Parenthood has grown. And you could say, well, listen, it's clearly not for abortion services, it's for other things. Well, why anything? We know that Planned Parenthood doesn't actually provide holistic health care for women. We know that they only provide one particular kind of “reproductive care,” which isn't reproductive at all. Their primary business model is against their name. They're not a parenthood organization at any level. They're an anti parenthood organization at every level, and the vast majority of their money, and they make a lot of money, by the way, come, you know, come from offering this service. And so basically, everything else is being subsidized by the federal government and states as well. So I, you know, I hope something can be done. Maybe that's misplaced hope. I don't know, but it would be great to see that change.

REICHARD: Alright, John, I want to get your thoughts on this. It’s still career suicide to wear your faith on your sleeve in Silicon Valley—but a new movement called the ACTS 17 Collective is doing just that. From venture-capital pitch rooms to AI start-ups, a handful of bold believers are preaching Christ and pushing back on tech’s moral blind spots. This group says it’s not trying to make the faith “more palatable,” but to spark true conversion. How does that square with Paul’s Areopagus model in Acts 17?

STONESTREET: Well, every culture has a center. And you know, the center of the the culture in Athens, if you read that really intriguing passage at the latter part of acts 17, was this kind of gathering of ideas, so much so that, you know, Luke describes it as the Athenians loving to do nothing more than to sit around and everyone else did all the work. I mean, that's kind of what we know about that particular culture. And so this became the center of it. 

In ours, it is technology. And so in this sense, going to where the culture is being kind of formed or created or catechized, is exactly what the gospel, I think, has always done. I also think this is part of a story, and you mentioned earlier about it being career suicide to wear your faith on your sleeve in Silicon Valley. That was certainly the case 10 years ago. I'm not sure it's still the case today. And the reason is, is because some reporting that's come out of Silicon Valley, about all these religious folk. And it's not just coming from Christians, like those of us here at WORLD, but it's, you know, there was an article, I think it was The Atlantic, just a few months ago that that talked about just a remarkable resurgence of faith, and that now it's actually okay to say it out loud. So I think that it's going to be an interesting thing to watch. And by the way, to quote GK Chesterton, ‘There's a lot of ways to fall down … there's only one way to stand up straight.’ 

This exploration of religion that, if it is indeed happening in Silicon Valley, is going to have some downsides as well, right? Just claiming God is not enough. The question is, which God? But this is exactly where the gospel belongs. There's not a corner of creation or a corner of culture where Christ is not Lord. That's the essence of a Christian worldview, and you can try to kind of push him out and not recognize that He is Lord of heaven and earth, but Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, and he's Lord here. So I laud this movement. It makes me think, not only of … I appreciate the reference to Acts 17. It also makes me think of the Businessman’s Revival at the beginning of the 20th century in New York, right? Here you have the center of American culture, and a group of business leaders just getting together and pray and do Bible study, and it sparked a revival. And I think there's other examples like that throughout history where it's not necessarily coming out of the church building, but it's coming from the church being the church in the wider culture. And two thumbs up for that.

BROWN: Before we let you go John, Christians once supplied the moral backbone of the GOP, but a new story in WORLD by Emma Friere says that backbone is buckling.

From “Barstool conservatives” who cheer bikini calendars to techno-monarchists and Nietzsche-inspired influencers, non-Christian ideas are reshaping the American right. So what does that mean for believers who still care about life, marriage, and a coherent public witness?

The piece quotes Aaron Renn noting that evangelicals sometimes assume any right-wing movement is a friend. How can believers cultivate discernment without sliding into cynicism?

STONESTREET: I mean, I'm tempted to say through the Colson Fellows program, but that would be a shameless piece of self promotion, so I would never do that. But actually that's, that's the vision that Chuck Colson had, which is … to start with the presumption that Jesus Christ is Lord is a different place to start when it comes to cultural engagement than you know, the world’s going to hell. Now, there are many aspects of which the world's going to hell, but Christianity is not just a set of beliefs that tells us what we don't agree with and what we need to oppose. 

When we're in a time of feeling culturally beleaguered like we are, then it is tempting to define ourselves by everything that we're not. And we need to be really clear about that, because that's been a failure in various corners of the Christian church —is to not oppose the things that we should oppose in the name of being culturally relevant or something like that. So the clarity of a Christian worldview is the only way forward, the clarity of what it is that we believe. What are those foundations, that if we allow those to be destroyed, there's no way forward, as the psalmist said … What are those things? And I think building our faith and our public witness around four pillars is kind of how I see it, which is hope. Not just hope is a feeling, but hope is a reality based in the resurrection. Truth, not just as a collection of random things that we believe as Christians, but as the true story of the world. Identity, being centered in the image of God. And calling, that Christians have been given a job in this world, not just what we're against, but what we're for. So hope, truth, identity, calling. If we're clear on those four things, I think we have a strong way forward. But the risk that Aaron is talking about here, the reality, isn't it going to be kind of a crazy irony if in 10 years, we look back and you have the religious stuff happening on the left and the atheist stuff happening on the right, you know? I mean, we've seen the two sides flip on all kinds of issues. That would be a real tragedy, and it would be a failure of the church at that point.

REICHARD: John Stonestreet is president of the Colson Center and Host of the Breakpoint podcast. Thanks, John See you next time.

STONESTREET: Thank you both.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Friday, May 16th.

We’re glad you’ve joined us for WORLD Radio. Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: a new documentary out today on Apple TV+. It tells the story of a civil rights moment you might not have heard of. WORLD Arts and Culture Editor Collin Garbarino has more on Deaf President Now!

REPORTER: We’re going live to Gallaudet University where students are protesting because they want a say in their school’s future. A new president is about to be named and the students want one of their own at the top.

COLLIN GARBARINO: Deaf President Now! tells the story of one turbulent week at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. Gallaudet is the only institution of higher education in the world that specifically serves deaf and hard of hearing students. And the events that took place there in the spring of 1988 helped pave the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act two years later.

The story started on a Sunday evening. The board of trustees was debating who they should choose to be the university’s seventh president.

REPORTER: Gallaudet is the only university for the deaf in the world and has never had a non-hearing president in its 124-year history.

The student body expected the board to choose a deaf person. So did much of the faculty. It seemed like the right time for Gallaudet to get its first deaf president. After all, two of the three finalists for the job were deaf.

But the board of trustees, led by Jane Spilman, opted for the hearing candidate. The shocked students erupted in anger.

REPORTER: There’s a firestorm this evening at Gallaudet University. The school’s board of trustees bypassed two deaf candidates for the school’s presidency.

That Sunday night the students marched through the streets of Washington to Spilman’s hotel, demanding she explain herself. After some delay, Spilman came downstairs and spoke to the crowd. Her condescension only made matters worse.

TIM: So I asked. Why? Why did you appoint Zinser? And then she said, “Deaf people are not ready to function in a hearing world.”

The next day, students locked the gates to the campus. That started a standoff with administrators and authorities. The students were determined that the campus would not reopen until they got the deaf president they demanded. With the help of sympathetic faculty, the students organized. They selected leaders to speak on their behalf. And they came up with a list of demands that included Spilman’s resignation from the board.

As the week progressed and news coverage intensified, the Gallaudet students found that the American people were sympathetic to their cause. With momentum building and the nation’s attention fixed on the school, the board backed down.

SPILMAN: The board was not simply called upon to select a president, but to aid in the consummation of a dream.

Gallaudet would have its first deaf president.

The documentary features plenty of news footage from 1988, with a few brief reenactments to fill in the gaps. It focuses on the four student ringleaders of the protest, each of whom gives extensive interviews. The film communicates their passion, but viewers will find some participants more sympathetic than others. There are a few instances of coarse language and gesturing.

Deaf President Now! isn’t just the story of this single moment. It uses the events of that one week at Gallaudet as a window into the deaf world.

BRIGETTA: They view deaf people as something bad.

JERRY: As a defect. An error. As hearing impaired.

Each of the student leaders share their own family stories. Many involve other deaf family members being ostracized… Or deaf parents encouraging their deaf children to hide their disability. These students describe a generational shift in which they start to question their parents’ instructions and overall approach to being deaf.

TIM: He would say, “It’s very important that you fit into the hearing world.” I was thinking, “Why?” I shouldn’t have to fit into the hearing world. I have my own world.

There’s a strong sense of communal identity that comes through in this documentary. The interviewees express their love of sign language. But they sometimes reveal a distrust of hearing people as well. We even see startling prejudice within the deaf community. Some deaf people accuse others of not being deaf enough. Some feel ashamed of using hearing aids.

This particular type of solidarity among the deaf sometimes shows a hard edge, as interviewees proclaim that their lack of hearing is not a problem to be fixed.

JERRY: We are not impaired.

Deaf President Now! might recount an overlooked moment in civil rights history, but it also reminds us that our lives and experiences can cause us to view the world very differently.

I’m Collin Garbarino.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Today is Friday, May 16th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Up next, your work. Whatever your job—number cruncher, plumber, raiser of kids, whatever you do— if you’re a Christian, you’re really working for Christ. Here’s WORLD Opinions contributor and pastor Erik Reed.

ERIK REED: One of my earliest childhood memories is of my father putting on work clothes in the wee hours of the morning, preparing to brave another long, cold day on the construction site. As a kid, I resolved never to have “that kind of job.” But as an adult, I respect it more than ever.

My father worked construction his entire adult life. It is how he provided for our family. But he often saw his work as inferior to other professions. He chalked up carpentry—almost embarrassed—as something he had to do because he did not go to college or “learn other things.” This ignored his vast set of skills, his aptitude with numbers, and the many people he helped with needs in their homes.

How did he arrive at such a low view of his labors? Like many others, he had absorbed an unbiblical view of work. In a world increasingly shaped by automation, AI advancements, and undervalued labor, we have forgotten that work is a sacred calling. All honest work and creative enterprise glorifies God by displaying truth, beauty, and goodness. Not just ministry. Pastors and churches must recover and teach a biblical vision of work.

The subject of work enters the biblical storyline early in Genesis. In Genesis 2:15, we read, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” This is before sin entered the world. Work was not a curse. God assigned work to the man. Adam was to cultivate the garden so that it yielded fruit.

As image-bearers of God, we are workers. Work is not only good—it is good for us. It gives us dignity. Satisfies deep longings in our hearts. Provides us the means to fulfill other callings like marriage, parenthood, loving our neighbor, and supporting the work of the gospel.

The Apostle Paul condemned idleness, warning believers ought not to be allowed to eat if they do not work. Proverbs repeatedly stresses working with diligence, taking action over mere talk, avoiding laziness, the reward of labor, and more.

The Protestant Reformation recovered a biblical theology of work by challenging the medieval belief that only religious vocations truly mattered. Luther and Calvin taught that all work—whether in the church or the field—had value to God. This encouraged believers to pursue their vocations with diligence and integrity, working with excellence as unto the Lord. This became known as the Protestant work ethic.

But sometime in the late 19th century, continuing today, a subtle Gnosticism crept into Christian thinking. It divided life between the secular and the spiritual, ministry work and non-ministry work. The sacred and spiritual were deemed good, and the secular and non-ministry work were treated as necessary, but less noble.

Meanwhile, broader cultural ideas of work further complicate things. Americans have a growing disdain for manual labor and lower-paying hourly jobs. The AI revolution amplifies the problem further. Bill Gates thinks “humans won’t be needed for most things.” Some wonder if we will even need to work at all.

How should Christians respond? We must teach the biblical mandate and goodness of work. Pastors must help congregants see God’s pleasure in their labors. He is glorified not only in Bible study and worship gatherings, but in regular, daily pursuits: planting gardens, tending cattle, swinging hammers, leading families and raising children, starting restaurants, reporting news, and cutting hair.

The Christian barber needs to see his work rightly. Yes, cutting hair pays his bills and supports his family. But he also serves every person who sits in his chair. He can encourage, listen, and dispense wisdom, all while building friendships. By giving great haircuts and caring for his customers, he loves his neighbor and glorifies God. He gives people a barbershop experience they want to return to. His work matters.

We need to show people like my father that they did more than just provide for their families—they modeled godliness. They ordered society. They built beauty. They gave others a place to call home. That is nothing to be embarrassed about.

I’m Erik Reed.
