Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

Leading off tonight, President Donald Trump issued pardons Thursday for all 23 pro-life activists being held in federal prisons, fulfilling a promise he made during the presidential campaign.

Trump signed the pardons in the Oval Office of the White House on the day before the March for Life to be held in Washington, D.C., according to the Thomas More Society.

Last week, the religious liberty law firm petitioned the incoming president to issue individual pardons for pro-life advocates who were arrested for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “Conspiracy Against Rights” statute while peacefully engaging in protests at abortion clinics.

Several of those convicted and imprisoned were elderly and in poor health.

At least two times during his 2024 campaign for the presidency, Trump said he intended to release pro-life activists who are imprisoned.

The petition from the Chicago-based law firm reads:

“These peaceful pro-life Americans mistreated by [President Joe] Biden include grandparents, pastors, a Holocaust survivor, and a Catholic priest — all are selfless, sincere patriots.”

Trump said it was a great honor to sign this pardon.

President Trump, in his speech before the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Thursday, expounded on his plan to make America great again through economic deregulation and plunging headlong into expanding the scope and reach of artificial intelligence.

Trump, speaking by remote connection to the annual gathering of economic and political elites, sold his vision of America as renewing its leadership stance in the world.

“We entered a new golden age of America this week,” he said, while touting his Project Stargate plan to make American the “World capital of AI and crypto.”

He said Stargate’s plan to blanket America with new data centers, needed to power the next generation of AI capabilities, is going to require the U.S. to double the capacity of its power grid.

Trump said, “We’re going to get it done rapidly.”

To fast-track the construction of the AI data centers, Trump said he will use an emergency declaration to get new power-generation plants built adjacent to the new data centers.

He announced Project Stargate at the White House Tuesday, his first full day in office, while flanked by tech executives Larry Ellison of Oracle, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son.

NBC News reports that President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to promote the advancement of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. and to work towards potentially developing a national reserve of digital assets.

Venture capitalist David Sacks, who Trump tapped as his crypto and artificial intelligence czar, joined Trump in the Oval Office for the signing of the order.

The order states:

“The digital asset industry plays a crucial role in innovation and economic development in the United States, as well as our Nation's international leadership.”

Trump, who was a crypto critic in his first administration, changed his tune on the campaign trail and attracted hefty contributions from the industry after a tumultuous four years under President Joe Biden. 

Crypto investors, companies and execs accounted for almost half of corporate donations in the 2024 election cycle, with some contributing tens of millions of dollars to help Trump win a second term in office.

The executive order also bans the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency in the U.S., stating:

“… taking measures to protect Americans from the risks of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which threaten the stability of the financial system, individual privacy, and the sovereignty of the United States, including by prohibiting the establishment, issuance, circulation, and use of a CBDC within the jurisdiction of the United States.”

Most of the executive order focuses on establishing technology and rules around crypto and its development in the U.S. One of the critical pieces is the creation of a working group to consider a national digital asset stockpile, “potentially derived from cryptocurrencies lawfully seized by the Federal Government through its law enforcement effort.”

Historically, the U.S. Marshals Service has auctioned off seized bitcoin, along with other cryptocurrencies like ether and litecoin. Trump promised on the campaign trail that if he returned to the White House, he would ensure the federal government never sells off its bitcoin holdings.

Scott Bessent, a pro-crypto hedge fund manager, is Trump's pick to lead the Treasury Department. Bessent attended the Crypto Ball on Friday in Washington, an event that brought together lawmakers, cabinet appointees, and industry leaders and underscored the administration's plan to make the U.S. a global leader in digital asset innovation.

The Epoch Times reports that the U.S. Supreme Court rejected three doctors’ emergency request to prevent a California agency from investigating them over advice they give to patients that does not conform to the state’s position on COVID-19.

Justice Elena Kagan, who handles urgent appeals from California, rejected the emergency application in Kory v. Bonta on Tuesday, January 21st. She did not explain why.

Kagan did not ask California to respond to the application.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was listed as one of two attorneys representing the physicians in the case.

President Donald Trump has nominated Kennedy, an activist on environment and health-related issues, to be secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The Medical Board of California considers the expression of the doctors’ dissenting views on the disease as dangerous misinformation that needs to be suppressed.

The board argues that it has legal authority to discipline the doctors for speech it deems to be medical misconduct. The physicians counter that they didn’t surrender their free speech rights when they obtained medical licenses.

The application was initiated by Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Brian Tyson, both medical doctors; along with Children’s Health Defense, a nonprofit organization founded by Kennedy.

The application stated that California’s executive and legislative branches are “threatening California physicians with professional discipline for their viewpoint speech contrary to the mainstream COVID narrative.”

After the Federation of State Medical Boards in July 2021 asked its member medical boards in the United States to punish physicians for spreading what they said was  COVID misinformation among patients and the public, Medical Board of California President Kristina Lawson announced in February 2022 that the board planned to sanction physicians for their dissenting views.

The California Legislature passed AB 2098, which took effect in January 2023, essentially criminalizing the dissemination of dissenting narratives about COVID, the application stated.

After a federal district judge stopped the law from taking effect in January 2023, the Legislature repealed the misinformation provision effective January 2024. 

However, the application said the board continued to investigate physicians for violating its COVID-19 policy following the repeal.

Slay News reports that Russia’s Ministry of Defense has accused billionaire Bill Gates of funding “bioterrorism-related activities with the goal of population reduction.”

The Russian MOD raised the alarm in a press briefing where officials asserted that the Gates Foundation is a primary sponsor of the U.S. African Biolab Complex.

Addressing the media, Major General Aleksei Rtishchev, deputy chief of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, warned:

“American specialists capable of enhancing the pathogenic functions of microorganisms are actively operating.”

The Russian general claims that the Russian military has uncovered evidence showing that Gates has been funding U.S. biological activity in Africa.

He also alleged that the Clinton Foundation is tied to the experiments.

During the briefing, the Russian general stated:

“The US administration views the region as an unlimited natural reservoir of dangerous infectious agents and a testing ground for experimental medical drugs.”

The U.S. military’s biological presence on the African continent is expanding rapidly, according to the general, who added: 

“American specialists capable of enhancing the pathogenic functions of microorganisms are actively operating in Africa.”

The Russian Defense Ministry has unveiled which officials from the United States and various African nations are involved in the implementation of military biological programs on the African continent.

He added that the U.S. government has been employing a biological risk management system in Africa, which had previously been tested in Georgia and Ukraine.

According to the Russian general’s report, sponsors of these biological activities include but are not limited to the Gates Foundation and Clinton Foundation.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the U.S. military has active bioweapons research activity going on in Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, Ghana and Djibouti.

A federal judge in Seattle on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born in America of illegal-alien parents.

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour ruled in the case brought by the states of Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington, which argue the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court case law have cemented birthright citizenship, according to the Associated Press.

The case is one of five being brought by 22 states and several immigrants’ rights groups across the country. 

Trump on Monday, Inauguration Day, signed the order, along with numerous others. It takes effect February 19, the wire service also reports.

The U.S. Supreme Court has given the green light for multiple lawsuits to move forward against oil and gas industries for allegedly causing so-called climate change.

The high court refused to hear appeals from energy companies seeking to block lawsuits blaming them for causing alleged climate change, The Energy Mix reported.

As a result, municipalities may demand billions of dollars in damages from oil and gas producers.

Honolulu, Hawaii, is one of several municipalities trying to bilk these companies out of large sums of money as punishment for their alleged climate sins.

It named BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Sunoco as plaintiffs.

Ben Sullivan, the chief resilience officer for the city, claimed it would shield “taxpayers and communities from the immense costs and consequences of the climate crisis caused by the defendants’ misconduct.”

The state allowed the lawsuit to proceed while the companies being sued insisted that it should be adjudicated in federal court.

Similar lawsuits have been brought in places like New Jersey, California, and Colorado to indemnify them for natural disasters.

The legal filings falsely claim that climate change causes severe storms, wildfires, and rising sea levels.

The lawsuits alleged that climate change can be traced back to the burning of so-called fossil fuels.

The movement to punish gas and oil companies for the fallout from storms and natural disasters is gaining momentum.

Honolulu argued that it had standing at the state level, likely aware that cases at the federal level had already been dismissed.

The stakes in this case could not be higher, attorneys for the gas and oil companies wrote in court documents.

They contend that such lawsuits “present a serious threat to one of the nation’s most vital industries.”

The center-right think tank American Enterprise Institute warned that Honolulu will “make themselves the nation’s energy regulators” if the lawsuit is allowed to proceed.

A new, fast-moving wildfire erupted in Los Angeles County on Wednesday near Castaic Lake, off Lake Hughes Road just north of Castaic Reservoir Road. By 10:45 a.m., it had grown to 500 acres; by early afternoon, it had scorched 3,400 acres, then exploded to 10,176 acres overnight with 14% containment.

CBS News quoted L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone as saying that over 4,000 personnel were mobilized to the Castaic Lake area to battle the huge fire. The unincorporated area is approximately 15 miles northwest of Santa Clarita.

As you can see from this video capture, it’s raging out of control.

The state of Georgia has suddenly become ground zero for the bird flu. 

According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the Georgia Department of Agriculture reported on Wednesday that the agency detected a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza at a commercial poultry producer in Elbert County. It's the second case reported in the county in less than a week.

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said the virus is a serious threat to Georgia’s poultry industry, which is the largest industry in the state.

In response to the detection of bird flu, the state of Georgia took the extraordinary step of suspending all poultry sales activity for sales, including auctions, flea markets, and livestock markets.

Dr. Peter McCullough’s team revealed that the first Georgia case of bird flu happened at a poultry facility that is just 30 miles from the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, a lab which is currently involved in gain-of-function experiments on bird flu at University of Georgia.

Dr. McCullough and his team of experts believe strongly that the current strand of bird flu circulating throughout the United States is likely the result of a lab leak at this very facility in 2021.

Are we on the verge of another pandemic? Some scientists believe bird flu is all around us at this point.

Dr. Marcela Uhart, a wildlife veterinarian with the University of California Davis’ One Health Institute, told a symposium earlier this month:

“We are in a soup of virus. I mean, there’s virus everywhere around us at this point. This virus is circulating left and right in mammals and in birds, as far as we can tell, some of them are not showing any signs of disease.”

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

Israeli hostages recently freed from Gaza revealed they were held in U.N. facilities during their captivity, with critics calling UNRWA a “front for Hamas” that must be disbanded immediately.

Last weekend, three Israeli women, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, were released in a high-stakes prisoner swap, which saw Israel free 90 Palestinian detainees, including convicted terrorists. 

The women, who endured nearly a year and a half of harrowing captivity under the terrorist group Hamas, described being detained in United Nations facilities, including tent camps and humanitarian zones administered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Israel’s Channel 13 News reports.

This is perhaps the most outrageous development yet with regard to the long ordeal of these hostages.

And I believe it provides the justification needed for President Trump to once and for all end all U.S. funding and involvement in the United Nations. 

Not that any more evidence was needed that the UN is a corrupt organization working to destabilize and destroy the nations of the world.

We already have multiple reports of UN employees raping women and children in Third World countries.

Now they’re caught red-handed holding Israeli hostages on behalf of the Hamas terrorist organization. 

What are we waiting for? Throw this corrupt global body and its ugly history of exploitation out of America.

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and supporting this broadcast.

Until next time…
