The state of free speech in England, protecting girls’ privacy, and what it looks like to call evil good and good evil.

LINDSAY MAST, HOST: That’s ahead on Culture Friday.

And the new Office spinoff heads to the newsroom.

NED: Remember the five Ws.

ADAM: Is that a gang?

NED: No.

And Ask the Editor, considering the record of faith.

BROWN: It’s Friday, September 5th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.

MAST: And I’m Lindsay Mast. Good morning!

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

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Ukraine latest » European leaders say they will continue to stand with Ukraine after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday.

And during that meeting:

LEYEN:  The leaders endorsed the work of the Chiefs of Defense and defense ministers.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said European allies will be—in her words “relentless in [their] efforts to keep Ukraine strong.”

LEYEN: We must turn Ukraine into a steel porcupine, indigestible for present and future aggressors.

She says that means ensuring Ukraine’s military is well trained and equipped.

Kyiv says it must have ironclad security guarantees ahead of any potential peace deal with Russia. And French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to that need at a news conference alongside Zelenskyy.

MACRON: In French

Macron says more than two dozen countries have already pledged to send troops into Ukraine if it is threatened after the war ends.

Kennedy testimony » Fireworks on Capitol Hill as a Senate panel grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden pressed Kennedy about the firing of the now-former CDC Director Susan Monarez after less than a month on the job.

WYDEN:  Did you in fact do what Director Monez said you did, which is tell her to just go along with vaccine recommendations even if she didn't think such recommendations aligned with scientific evidence?

KENNEDY: No, I did not.

Democrats sparred with Kennedy throughout the hearing. And he fielded tough questions from some Republicans as well, including a pair of physicians, Senators Bill Cassidy and John Barrasso:

BARRASSO:  Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearings, you promised to uphold the highest standards for vaccines. Since then, I've grown deeply concerned.

Barrasso also questioned him over high profile staffing shakeups.

For his part, Kennedy said with regard to HHS vaccine guidance:

KENNEDY:  Yeah, we're gonna make it clear evidence-based and trustworthy for the first time in history.

Kennedy has scaled back promotion of routine immunizations, emphasizing “individual choice.” And he has pressed for stricter scrutiny of vaccine messaging from agencies like the CDC.

New push to ban stock trades in Congress » Elsewhere at the Capitol, a number of Republicans and Democrats are joining forces in a bid to ban lawmakers from trading stock.

Supporters of a new bill call it an effort to end what they say is effectively legalized insider trading in Washington.

It’s a cause fostering rare harmony between conservatives like Congressman Tim Burchett:

BURCHETT:  This body has been enriching itself on the taxpayer's dime and that government, it's got to stop.

And liberals like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez:

CORTEZ:  If anyone says, you know, this isn't fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks. If I'm gonna run for Congress, maybe you should stay home.

The bill would ban trading of individual stocks, securities, commodities, and futures by members of Congress as well as their spouses and dependent children.

President Trump has said he would sign a bill banning stock trading by lawmakers.

Texas abortion "bounty hunting" law » Texas is making it easier for residents to sue providers who ship abortion drugs into the state. WORLD’s Benjamin Eicher reports:

BENJAMIN EICHER: With Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s pending signature, a new law will allow residents to sue out-of-state individuals or organizations that ship abortion drugs into Texas in violation of state law.

Abortion drug distributors could face fines of up to $100,000.

Only a pregnant woman or her family is entitled to keep the full amount while others could keep up to $10,000 and must donate the remaining funds to charity.

But some blue states have so-called “shield laws” designed to protect abortion drug providers from penalties in other states. And that sets the stage for a legal battle in federal court.

Legislators passed the bill as one Texas man is suing a California abortionist for shipping pills to his girlfriend on two separate occasions.

For WORLD, I’m Benjamin Eicher.

Armani obituary » Italian designer Giorgio Armani has died at the age of 91.

Armani rose to fame in the fashion world in the 1970s eventually dressing the rich and famous in classic tailored styles.

Today, the $10-billion dollar Armani empire employs more than 9,000 people … designing clothing, accessories and more.

I'm Kent Covington.

Straight ahead: responding when the world calls good evil and evil good, John Stonestreet is standing by. Plus, a new comedy from the creators of The Office.

This is The World and Everything in It.

LINDSAY MAST, HOST: It’s Friday, September 5th. Glad to have you along for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Lindsay Mast.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown. It’s Culture Friday! Joining us is John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center and Host of the Breakpoint Podcast. Good Morning John.

JOHN STONESTREET: Good morning.

BROWN:  Let’s start with Take Us North. It’s a “socially conscious” indie game that’s described as a blend of art and technology to ignite positive cultural change. Here’s the developer, Karla Reyes, talking about it.

KARLA REYES: The game that we’re currently developing is our debut original project, which is a narrative adventure/survival game about the migrant journey through the desert to cross the US/Mexico border. So it’s a very heavy-hitting topic, but it’s one that we’re trying to tackle sensitively and authentically.

To keep it authentic, Reyes says they’ve partnered with an anthropology lab at UCLA that specializes in clandestine migration. They’re also collaborating with undocumented immigrant filmmakers with lived experiences of crossing the border. In other words, they’re working with people who are in this country illegally.

People on social media are calling this an illegal immigrant simulator posing as a video game.

It caught my attention, John, because I had just read one of your recent Breakpoint articles where you pointed to a number of disturbing instances of unchecked violence against girls in the UK by immigrants. The story is that authorities in the UK are failing to protect these girls out of fear of being called racists and in the name of social cohesion.

Admittedly, we are talking about two different stories…but both seem to have a common thread: And I’m not talking about the immigration issue. It’s calling evil good and good evil. How do you see it, John?

STONESTREET: Well, you know, I'm not really familiar with the game to speak of, but it is interesting. I've thought for a long time, ever since reading Neil Postman, which, you know, became one of those frameworks by which I almost see everything about entertainment. His book, Amusing Ourselves To Death, just in terms of the intersection between entertainment and the wider culture, and sometimes our art reflects culture, and sometimes our art leads culture. And so much of our art and entertainment has become activist art and entertainment. You know, it's not about just kind of laughing and having a good time anymore. Everything has to have an activist bent.

It's interesting because that's not something that Postman would have ever imagined, I think, when he was writing about the power of entertainment to shape culture and how it exactly does that, he was talking more about distraction and about becoming silly. You know, I remember basically that was one of the big punch lines is, you know, entertainment makes us silly. And so when entertainment becomes culture, we become a silly culture.

Well, we become an activist culture. I mean, you know, education is about activism. It's not about learning. And now our art is about this as well. And I know we're gonna get some emails about people who resist the idea of gaming, video gaming, being considered art, but it really is an expression of human creativity. It's something that goes after the imagination and not the brain.

But of course, you see then that there are ways in which ideas get embedded into societies and usually not through debate. And that's really what the commentary was about. This, you know, epidemic in the UK of the grooming gangs, the rape gangs targeting UK young women, and then the police really either not doing anything or penalizing anyone who complains because it's a racist or a racially insensitive thing. And you see how these ideas really get embedded, and when you see it played out, it's so absolutely absurd, there's no way anyone would argue. Oh yeah, it's actually worse to have an opposition to illegal immigration, than it is to, you know, rape a young girl. I mean, no one would actually say that out loud, and yet this is kind of, in a growing sense, what's been embedded in UK culture in terms of what the greatest evil is. And you end up kind of becoming all upside down on it, you know, completely.

And so, you know, I don't think you know, the stories are identical at all, but at the same time, it is interesting that in the form of the imagination, you quote, unquote, explore things to become sensitive to someone's lived experience. But you can't do that without making a moral statement of some kind, and this is no exception to that.

MAST: Well John, next week the Temecula Valley Unified School District in California is set to address a new bathroom policy exemption plan. The bathroom policy there allows students to use the one that aligns with their gender identity. So the gist of the policy is this: if your daughter doesn’t want to share bathrooms or locker rooms with a boy claiming to be a girl, she needs to sign a document claiming she either has a religious objection, or a mental health problem. So rather than protecting girls’ spaces, they are asking girls to either take on a religious label or admit some sort of mental health problem. This seems to be setting up girls to be ashamed of having very normal desires for modesty to have to reveal their own private problems: a whole host of issues.

Now, there are some devout Christ-followers on that board and in that community fighting back against this–including one of them publicly ask for prayers for wisdom and unity among school board members, protection for students and teachers, discernment.

JOSEPH KROMOSKY: We just go back to Genesis three and say, we just want privacy for our students now, and that's what we want. So that’s what's happening behind the scenes. You have site administrators, district administrators, teachers, board members like us trying to come up with a solution to deal with this wokeism, because that's what it is.

The California Family Council says that earlier this week there was a middle school walkout over this at a school where girls are being asked to share a bathroom with a boy, we’re talking 11, 12, 13 year old girls here. Middle school bathrooms and locker rooms during puberty are already sensitive areas, and now to essentially tell girls they have a mental problem because they want privacy. How would you advise parents to talk about the effects of this on girls if it moves forward or God forbid, spreads?

STONESTREET: Well, listen, this is a better example, I think even, of the game of, you know, calling….Scripture says. Woe to those who call right wrong and wrong, right. And we often think about that as being true of individuals, which it is, but it can be true of entire communities. It can be true of entire societies. It can be true of entire civilizations who call up, down and down, up. I mean, think about how this has reversed. Now the way this law is being written and implemented. The normal posture is that boys should share girls private spaces, and girls should share boys private spaces. And if you disagree with that, that's abnormal. This is the first time in the history of the planet where anyone's ever even thought about this crazy idea, much less implement it, much less enforced it on adolescent and pre adolescent young women. I mean, this is, this is the definition of losing touch with reality.

And you think about all the language games that have taken place in the entire LGBTQ movement, I remember the first time I heard the word cisgender, right, the idea that we need a word that refers to the fact that someone would continue to identify with their biological sex for their life, which is exactly where 99% of the population through the history of the world would fit into that it's like, why do we need a category for normal? Well, you need it so that you can redefine normal. And this is exactly what this law does. It flips it upside down. I mean, listen, it's offensive enough that the religious objection is being put into the same category as a mental health problem. I mean, that's offensive. But the bigger question, believe it or not, that, yeah, I trust me, I want to blow a gasket over that one, but, but, but to actually just flip the definition of normal is what this entire movement has been about from the very beginning, and it happens then in the form of law and policy.

I appreciate you, by the way, mentioning the believers in Temecula some of those I know. I certainly know the California Family Council. I'm so grateful for their courage and their voice, and they are showing us what to do.

So to go back to your question, which I know was a long time ago, about, how do we advise parents? There's just so much about this moment where I think that we live in an age of deception and an age of confusion. And George Orwell famously said, in an age of deception, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. I believe, as I've said many, many times here, that God determines the cultural moment in which we live. In other words, we're not just called to a job or to a ministry or to an act of charity and kindness, although we are, but we're called to a particular time in history, and if that time is like ours, where up is being called Down and down is being called up, and right is being called wrong, and wrong is being called right. Then it is our calling to be truth tellers.

As a parent, my job is to prepare my kid for the world they're going to actually live in, not the world I want them to live in. So part of it is not just cultivating discernment, although it is not just helping them understand and embrace the truth, although that's true, but it's also to cultivate courage. And courage is a virtue, and virtues have to be practiced. We have virtue muscles. These aren't like helmets that we put on. They're muscles we have to exercise. And so I would say this is an opportunity to exercise that muscle of courage. That's a really hard thing to think about as a parent with a kid, but that's, I think, what it means to be called to this moment.

BROWN:  I love that verse, “Be strong and courageous,” and by the way.

We’ll wrap up with a story about Graham Linehan. He’s an Irish comedian, writer and co-creator of two popular sitcoms in the United Kingdom.

He’s also one of Britain’s most outspoken critics of trans ideology. For taking that stand he’s been sued, banned from the social media platform, X and ostracized from the showbiz community. In fact, it got so bad he says he had to leave the UK and move to America.

Here he is talking about the state of free speech in England.

GRAHAM LINEHAM: The country is almost impossible for someone like like me to live in. Um you cannot tell the truth without the police coming to your door. Uh I actually have to come back at the start of uh next month to be to go on trial uh in an absurd case that you you you'll see just how stupid it is when it happens.

That was just a couple of weeks ago and then earlier this week, while traveling from Arizona back to London, he was arrested by police at Heathrow Airport and tossed in a cell.

As I read Linehan’s ordeal, I couldn’t help but think of Babylon Bee creator Seth Dillion. He’ll be featured in today’s global streaming premiere of the documentary, Truth Rising. I can’t think of a better time for this documentary, about standing for the truth to be released.

STONESTREET:  I can't either. I think that's exactly the point of truth rising. And as the Focus on the Family and the Colson center, as we started kind of going down the path to create this, this film, along with our friend and as the guy that I call the Gandalf of our age, oz Guinness, that is what really emerged, that this is what it means to live out our calling, at bare minimum, is to be someone willing to tell the Truth.

But this story about Linehan is just so absolutely incredible. One of our my colleagues, pointed out the fact that in his as he described it, five UK policemen came to arrest him armed. Now, you know, a policeman being armed in the United States is not unusual, but in the UK, you don't know, and not just one, but five.

And you also think about what a bully move this was. How pathetic, how sad. You think about kind of the initial cost that people sometimes have to pay for being willing to speak up and say the truth. The story of Seth Dillon the Babylon B is one of those. Certainly the story of Jack Phillips, which we also tell in truth, rising is one of those. And then you watch how God used those particular acts of courage, and there's no way you could have ever imagined everything that would line up because of that.

Soren Kierkegaard famously said that life has to be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards. You know, Seth Dillon the Babylon Bee, they're looking backwards right now watching God's hand. Jack Phillips has become an expert at recognizing how God orchestrated and pointed out and arranged his obedience and brought about good in the name of Christ. And you know what this comedian will at one point, I think, be able to see that as well. He's not at that place now. He's looking forward, and it looks crazy, because we do live in a culture that calls up, down and down up, which tells you just how important it is, how effective it can potentially be to tell the truth.

MAST: John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center and host of the Breakpoint podcast, thanks, John.

LINDSAY MAST, HOST: Today is Friday, September 5th.

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

Good morning. I’m Lindsay Mast.

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

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: One of the shows that remade television finally gets a spinoff. Here’s arts and culture editor Collin Garbarino.

COLLIN GARBARINO: It’s been more than a decade since The Office ended its nine season run on NBC. But the mockumentary series depicting the ups and downs of a paper company remains firmly entrenched in America’s cultural consciousness. Now The Office showrunner Greg Daniels returns with a spinoff series called The Paper.

KEN: And here we are, the Toledo Truth Teller… the local newspaper.

How did we get here? In the first episode, the documentary crew from the original series heads back to Scranton 20 years after they began chronicling the lives of Dunder Mifflin employees. They learn the company was bought by a paper conglomerate.

KEN: Enervate sells products made out of paper. So that might be office supplies. That might be janitorial paper, which is toilet tissue. Toilet seat protectors. And local newspapers. And that is in order of quality.

Enervate is based in Toledo, Ohio, in a historic building that once housed the city’s newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller. That bastion of Midwestern journalism has fallen on hard times. More than a thousand newspaper employees used to fill the nine-story structure. Now the entire staff occupies half of one floor, sharing the other half with the salesforce for Softees bathroom tissue.

KEN: That’s absolutely insane, if I do say so myself.

But the Truth Teller is getting a new editor-in-chief who plans to improve the newspaper’s fortunes.

NED: I have a lot in common with Superman too. We each have our Kryptonite for example. For Superman, well, it’s kryptonite, obviously. For Clark Kent, it’s Lois Lane. And for me, I guess my kryptonite is my love of journalism.

Domhnall Gleeson, who’s probably best known for his appearances in the Harry Potter films and the Star Wars sequels, plays the idealistic Ned. He’s in way over his head, especially since he doesn’t have the necessary budget to improve the paper. He’s stymied at every turn by Enervate’s upper management and one of his own editors.

KEN: And would all of these be paid positions?

NED: Yes. But they would make the paper worth reading again.

ESMERALDA: Can we do that?

KEN: No, no, no.

To reinvigorate local journalism, Ned must recruit folks from around the office to act as volunteer reporters.

ADAM: I wrote a paper in junior high.

NED: Not quite the same thing.

DEDRICK: I’ve tweeted.

NED: You’ve tweeted?

ADAM: I’m in a group text.

NED: OK, OK.

Much of the show’s comedy comes from watching these painfully inept amateurs try to piece together news stories.

NED: Remember the five Ws.

ADAM: Is that a gang?

NED: No. It’s “who,” “what,” when,” “where,” “why.” It’s what they teach you on the first day of journalism school.

ADAM: So, not a gang.

But, just like in The Office, The Paper doesn’t merely focus on the staff's professional activities. We get plenty of personal rivalries and romances as well—the kinds of emotionally fraught situations that made The Office so relatable.

NICOLE: Detrick thinks I’m sad all the time, but actually a lot of the times, I’m just tired of pretending he cheered me up the last time.

Of course, the big question is, “How does The Paper compare with The Office?”

On the whole, I would say, Greg Daniels and company are playing it pretty safe with The Paper, something they didn’t do with The Office. Watching the first season of The Office can be a startling experience. I still wonder how they got away with putting some of those episodes on network television. The series didn’t pull any punches as it skewered social decorum and politically correct office culture.

The Paper merely tiptoes where The Office once gleefully stomped.

DETRICK: I sell ads for the paper. Which means I’m not supposed to interact with anybody in news. Ken calls it the Chinese Wall, which I thought was wrong, but I guess it’s an actual news term.

Another difference is that since The Paper is on Peacock, rather than network television, episodes sometimes include PG-13 language. But overall the series has less innuendo and crudity than The Office had. But maybe that’s to be expected since there’s no character as outrageous as Steve Carell’s Michael Scott.

Instead of having one maniac who sucks everyone else up into his whirlwind, this show takes Michael Scott’s many eccentricities and dispenses them among the various characters in little doses. Everyone is somewhat quirky. This means that the audience is deprived of having a self aware Jim and Pam to identify with when the story veers into absurdity.

The show does however have Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar the accountant from the original series.

OSCAR: Not again. I’m not agreeing to any of this. Don’t you guys have enough after nine years? Nobody wants this!

I actually think some people will want this. The Paper has a more subdued tone than The Office, and it takes a few episodes to hit its stride. But fans of mockumentaries and cringe comedy will find a lot to like here, if they give it a chance.

MUSIC: [The Paper theme song]

I’m Collin Garbarino.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Today is Friday, September 5th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.

LINDSAY MAST, HOST: And I’m Lindsay Mast. Finally today, Ask the Editor. WORLD Executive Producer Paul Butler is here now with an inside look at why we chose to run a recent story.

PAUL BUTLER: As an amateur historian and documentary filmmaker, one of my favorite portions of the Old Testament is from Joshua chapters 3 and 4.

After 40 years in the wilderness, the Children of Israel are finally entering the land of promise. The priests are told to stand in the middle of the Jordan River with the Ark of the Covenant. When they enter the water, the Jordan River responds much like the Red Sea had done four decades earlier. God causes the seasonally high river to stop flowing, and the people cross over on dry ground. But before the priests exit the river, a man from each tribe is commanded to take a large stone from near where the priests are standing and carry those rocks to their campsite: their first site inside the Promised Land. An area later known as Gilgal.

God tells Joshua this pile of stones will be a sign for those who will come after them. Evidence for their children and grandchildren of what God had miraculously done there. These stones—or ebenim—were to be a memorial for the nation forever.

When writing any history, researchers of course comb through original documents, diaries, and oral histories. But another important thread of research surrounds what’s known as ephemera. These are physical fragments that give researchers an insight into the interests, values, and culture of a subject or particular time. Ephemera is the junk drawer of historical research…fragments that on their own don’t tell much of a story, but when considered together, a vivid picture often emerges. They are informal monuments to the events of history.

That brings me to some criticism we received after last month’s feature on a Catholic Church in Pittsburg that has one of the largest collections of relics in the world, second only to the Vatican itself.

A handful of listeners expressed concern with what they saw as a lack of clarity and Biblical objectivity in our reporting. Many said we should have more clearly stated that those who venerate relics are participating in idolatry.

One listener who didn’t want her name mentioned writes: “from a Protestant perspective, I believe relics to be worthless, and have no Christian value.”

Les Alsterlund from Minneapolis suggests that focusing on relics “...takes away from [God’s] glory and puts it on some relic or a person for living a good life when we should be glorifying and worship[ping] God alone.” In his feedback, he asked: “What’s the point of this story?”

As the producer of The World and Everything in It, and the Executive Producer for WORLD Radio, let me tie all these threads together and briefly explain why we approved the story and included it in our program.

Hebrews chapter 11 includes what many call “The Hall of Faith.” A significant list of faithful and righteous saints who fill the pages of the Old Testament. There is Biblical precedent to remember those who have gone before us, not to elevate their righteousness, but to elevate the work of God in the world through them. The author of Hebrews goes on to refer to them as a great cloud of witnesses, and as we consider them, we are to lay aside every weight and sin that ensnares us—just like they did.

Now to be clear, the author goes on to say in Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2, that we are to look to Jesus, as the author and finisher of our faith. He is to be our focus so that helps know what to do with the previous chapter. As we consider the saints of old, the benefit comes in how they point us to the savior and secondarily, instruct us on how to live in this world as we do.

And that brings me back to our report. The primary point of the story was not a warning against idolatry—which many thought should have been the emphasis. I approved the story because I believe there is a place for remembering the faithful since the birth of the church, particularly the martyrs. I think of the Apostle Paul who encouraged the church in Corinth to follow his example of following Christ’s example.

Perhaps our story did not go as far as many wished, but I will say that the second voice in Emma Eicher’s story did point out that the veneration of relics is rooted in Roman paganism. He also observed that many everyday Catholics are likely doing much more than just honoring the relics.

We thought of it not as promoting Catholicism per se, but as an opportunity for Protestants to consider the ephemera of our faith, material reminders of the many faithful who make up a cloud of witnesses who preceded us and laid down their lives in service of the King and His Kingdom.

Returning to the Biblical site of Gilgal and the stone pile monument for a moment, in Hosea we learn that Judah eventually made that area a center of great idolatry, they forgot God and the story of His faithfulness that a pile of stones was there to testify to.

May we not forget.

I’m Paul Butler.
