Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

Leading off tonight, a new study suggests that the medical scan used to detect cancer could actually be causing cancer.

A groundbreaking 2025 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that CT scans performed in the United States in 2023 could result in more than 100,000 future cancer cases, a staggering projection that may position CT as the source of up to 5% of annual U.S. cancer diagnoses.

CT scans work by using ionizing radiation--a form of energy that can damage DNA and, over time, potentially initiate cancer. While other medical imaging techniques like ultrasound or MRI are radiation-free, CT is often the first resort due to its speed and detail, especially in emergency settings.

In 2023, 93 million CT exams were performed on over 61 million patients, an increase of more than 30% since 2007. Many were likely necessary. But as the authors note, a significant portion were not. This has led to what some experts now label a public health paradox: a diagnostic tool that helps detect cancer may also be contributing to its rise.

A team led by the University of California, San Francisco analyzed 121,000 real-world CT scans from 143 hospitals across 20 states. Using the National Cancer Institute's RadRAT modeling software, the researchers estimated the organ-specific doses of radiation and projected lifetime cancer risks for different age, sex, and scan-type groups.

They excluded patients in the last year of life--where cancer risk from radiation is moot--and found that even with such adjustments, 103,000 radiation-induced cancers could be expected over the coming decades.

Among the Key Findings:

• Adults bear the brunt: 91% of the projected cancers occurred in adults.
• Children face higher per-scan risks, with infants under one year facing up to 20 cancers per 1,000 scans.
• The most common cancers linked to CT include:
  • Lung cancer (22,400 cases)
  • Colon cancer (8,700)
  • Leukemia (7,900)
  • Breast cancer (5,700)
  • Thyroid cancer (7,000; half in children)

Notably, this projection marks a tripling from a similar 2009 study, driven by both increased CT use and better data on scan-related radiation exposure.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is raising eyebrows after revealing on Benny Johnson’s conservative podcast that he’s pushing for a congressional hearing to examine the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.

Johnson, who serves on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, raised questions about the World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse, saying the documentary film, Calling Out Bravo 7, has sparked “an awful lot of questions.”

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is delivering on a campaign promise to ban artificial food dyes by announcing the phasing out of eight petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the nation’s food supply.

Kennedy was joined by Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary to discuss the plan at a news conference Tuesday.

Kennedy has lambasted Big Food and Big Pharma and blamed the nation’s chronic disease epidemic on additives and junk food as part of his Make America Healthy Again agenda.

The FDA, under the Biden administration, had mandated a ban on Red Dye No. 3, found in candy, desserts, and some medications, by January 15, 2027.

Kennedy told CBS News earlier this month that during a closed-door meeting with food company CEOs he demanded that artificial food dyes would “all have to be out within two years.”

Many processed foods such as candies, snack foods, margarine, soft drinks, jams and pudding contain artificial dyes such as FD&C Blue Nos. 1 and 2, FD&C Green No. 3, FD&C Red Nos. 3 and 40, FD&C Yellow Nos, according to the FDA.

Kennedy said Tuesday, “Synthetic dyes are only the beginning.” 

He plans to ban every toxic additive he can, adding: “We’re going to get rid of the dyes, and then one by one, we're going to get rid of every ingredient and additives in schools that we can.”

SCOTUS Blog reports that the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday in the first of two cases in April involving religion and public schools. In Mahmoud v. Taylor a coalition of parents from Montgomery County, Maryland, contend that requiring their children to participate in instruction that includes homosexual and LGBTQ+ themes violates their religious beliefs and thus their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion.

Montgomery County, in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., is the largest school district in Maryland and one of the country’s most religiously diverse counties. The dispute before the justices on Tuesday began in 2022, when the county approved books featuring LGBTQ+ characters for inclusion in its language-arts curriculum. One book used for young children, Pride Puppy, tells the story of a puppy that gets lost during a Pride parade. Another book tells the story of a girl attending her uncle’s same-sex wedding.

When the county announced in 2023 that it would not allow parents to opt to have their children excused from instruction involving the storybooks, a group of Muslim, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Christian parents went to federal court. They contended that the refusal to give them the option to opt their children out violated their constitutional right to freely exercise their religion. Specifically, their ability to instruct their children on issues of gender and sexuality according to their faith and to control when and how these issues are introduced to their children.

The lower courts rejected the parents’ request for an order that would temporarily require the county, while the litigation continued, to notify the parents when the storybooks would be used and give them a chance to opt out of instruction. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit explained that on the “threadbare” record before it, the parents had not shown that exposure to the storybooks compelled them to violate their religion.

The parents came to the Supreme Court in September, and the justices agreed to take up their case.

In a major development, Zero Hedge reports that President Vladimir Putin has offered to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine across the current front line as part of ongoing efforts to work with President Donald Trump toward reaching a permanent peace deal. 

This is according to several sources who spoke to Financial Times, which wrote further in a Tuesday report, “The proposal is the first formal indication Putin has given since the war’s early months three years ago that Russia could step back from its maximum demands to end the invasion.”

FT further reported:

“The Russian president told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St. Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kiev’s control, three of the people said.”

The Kremlin side has not publicly acknowledged this, and so the report should be taken with a grain of salt, given this contradicts Putin's public stance that Russia will never relinquish the four territories, which were declared part of the Russian Federation after the Moscow-backed referendums of September 2022.

The FT report goes on to say, “The US has since floated ideas for a possible settlement that includes Washington recognizing Russian ownership of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, the people added, as well as at least acknowledging the Kremlin’s de facto control over the parts of the four regions it currently holds.”

Alex Newman at the Liberty Sentinel reports that government schools and buildings in Arkansas must display the Ten Commandments and the national motto under a new bill signed into law this week by Governor Sarah Sanders Huckabee.

Newman notes that some far-left and anti-Christian critics were upset by the bill and made a lot of noise. But state lawmakers passed the measure overwhelmingly, with 71 to 20 in the House and 27 to 4 in the Senate. 

The new law, known as Senate Bill 433 (now 573), mandates a “durable poster or framed copy of a historical representation of the Ten Commandments” to be posted in government-school classrooms and other buildings across Arkansas.

Lawmakers explained why it was proper and important for the holy laws to be placed in schools. 

Arkansas Rep. Alyssa Brown, a Republican and sponsor of the bill, stated:

“You cannot separate the history of our nation and the development of moral law and the Ten Commandments, nor should we. Every day, as members, we stand on the House floor and we take a pledge of allegiance to one nation under God. We have the ‘In God We Trust’ motto in those same classrooms. We’re not telling every student they have to believe in this God, but we are upholding what those historical documents mean and that historical national motto.”

As Alex Newman documented last summer, a growing number of Republican-controlled states are bringing God, the Bible, and the Ten Commandments back into government schools. From Oklahoma’s mandate to have the Bible in school to Louisiana’s new law mandating the Ten Commandments, states are getting bolder. Alabama just passed a similar bill this week.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has awarded a $30 million contract to arch technocrat Peter Thiel’s company, Palantir Technologies.

The task is to develop ImmigrationOS, a comprehensive digital platform aimed at streamlining and expanding the agency’s deportation apparatus. 

Biometric Update reports that the contract marks a deepening of Palantir’s role in immigration enforcement, which stretches back to when it first supplied data-gathering tools to ICE in 2014.

Palantir also has contracts with the CIA, FBI and DoD, and recently struck a deal with NATO to supply AI-powered warfighting systems.

President Trump pledged on the campaign trail to deport at least 13 million illegal aliens in what he said would be “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”

However, his efforts have been severely hampered by logistical, legal, and political hurdles.​ In the first 50 days of Trump’s second term, ICE reported approximately 32,000 arrests, which represents an uptick in enforcement, but still not approaching the millions of deportations that Trump promised. ​

ImmigrationOS is an end-to-end digital system that automates the entire deportation process. 

First, the system prioritizes targets using AI to sift through immigration records, criminal histories, and social indicators such as known affiliations or prior infractions.

Second, it provides near real-time monitoring of “self-deportation” events, enabling ICE to track individuals who exit the United States voluntarily, often under pressure. 

And third, it supports what the agency refers to as “immigration lifecycle management,” which includes coordinating logistics for detentions, removals, and administrative follow-through to minimize operational delays.

Biometric Update reports that at the center of this platform is the integration of data from a wide range of sources. ImmigrationOS pulls from the Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and state voter rolls, among others. 

Biometric Update noted that there are allegations that data for ImmigrationOS is being sourced through unauthorized access to government databases, facilitated by individuals with high-level access, leading to concerns about the legality and ethics of the data-collection methods being employed.

This is disturbing on a few levels. What’s to stop Palantir from selling the same AI-powered software to the FBI under a future Democrat administration, renaming it, and using it to round up outspoken Christian conservatives and Trump supporters, and placing them in detention camps?

It sounds crazy, but we’ve already seen a nationwide manhunt for J6’rs under the Biden administration. 

There’s nobody who has preached more about the need to deport illegal aliens than myself, but we also need to be careful what we wish for. The lessons of history, post-911 for example, have taught us that what the government intends for good under one administration, can be used for evil under the next administration. 

Just as the Department of Homeland Security and USA Patriot Act were intended by George W. Bush to keep us safe from Islamic terrorism, that all changed under Barack Obama, who turned that whole apparatus around on us.

Don’t think it can’t happen again.

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

Until next time…
