The United States State Department admitted this week that it intentionally deleted an eight-minute exchange in an archived video. The video was from a December 2013 press conference where then-State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki essentially admitted that the Obama administration lied about having secret talks with Iran in 2011. With the Iran nuclear deal signed, news about how the administration manufactured stories to push the deal forward continues to be unveiled.

In addition to manipulating the media on the Iran deal, the administration has also skewed facts about how U.S. sailors were treated when they were taken hostage by Iran earlier this year. Legislation was introduced last week that will compel the Obama administration to admit whether or not it had to pay Iran for the release of the hostages. At the time, top U.S. officials, including John Kerry and Joe Biden, praised Iranian authorities for the way they “helped” the U.S. sailors.

Why does the government need to lie in order to forge ahead with so-called “progress”? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Many today, even in the professing Christian world, scoff at the idea of God’s supernatural intervention in world affairs. Bible scholars have come to view the Bible as literature that might have some historical value but not as the infallible Word of God. Another reason traditional Christians reject the prophecies of the Bible is because of the many false predictions men have made throughout history. Because of these failures, many people, over time, have developed a skeptical, cynical attitude toward Bible prophecy. On today’s program, we’ll cover how this spirit of scoffing actually fulfills several Bible prophecies for the latter days.

Iran’s government last week elected Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati to lead the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for picking the nation’s next supreme leader. Jannati is a hard-liner who has encouraged suicide bombings and, in 2014, stated that Iran’s number one slogan was “Death to America.” When asked about the election of Jannati, United States State Department spokesman Mark Toner shared a laugh with reporters and had no comment on the issue. The next day, when Toner was asked about the new coalition in Israel between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman, he wasted little time in noting that it was “the most right-wing coalition in Israel’s history.” Why is the U.S. silent on the election of Jannati and upset about Israel’s new coalition? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

In less than four weeks, Britain will vote whether to leave or stay in the European Union. Those campaigning to leave the EU see the vote as Britain’s last chance to regain sovereignty and come out from under the German-dominated union. But will leaving the EU be the solution to Britain’s problems? On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses the real source of Britain’s troubles.

Many today view Japan as a victim in World War ii. United States President Barack Obama’s visit to Hiroshima, the first sitting U.S. president to do so, has helped promote this image. An objective look at history, however, reveals that Japan was no innocent victim. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains why the bombing of Hiroshima was necessary to end World War ii.

United States President Barack Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima in what is being viewed by many as another stop on the president's “apology tour.” Just over seven decades after Japan tried to destroy the United States, America’s leaders are apologizing for dropping the bomb—a decision that ended a brutal war and actually saved lives. Today, even as America offers its apology, it simultaneously encourages Japan's rearmament. Where is this leading? And what is Japan’s place in the near future of world events? Listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show to find out.

The mind of man can understand material knowledge that an animal cannot. Human beings are capable of building incredible wonders, appreciating music, and a host of other things the animal brain is totally incapable of doing. Though the human mind was created far superior to that of the animal mind—it is still incomplete when it comes to understanding spiritual things. Every human being has a desire to fill this void in his or her life. Most try to fill it with entertainment or other material pursuits. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains what is needed to fill the void.

Never in history has it been easier to acquire knowledge. Why, then, with the increase in accessibility of information, has there not been a corresponding rise in intellect? The ability to put to use valuable knowledge has become a lost art, and it’s the reason many today experience memory loss. A good memory comes with knowledge followed by works. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains the importance of remembering and provides one key step to help ensure better memory.

In today’s program, Brad Macdonald explores three important stories. First, the political success of Norbert Hofer and the Freedom Party in Austria and what it reveals about Europe in general. Second, the economic crisis about to strike Germany that will initiate massive political and social upheaval. And finally, the growing number of Americans preparing for civil unrest.

As the academic year comes to a close, a new wave of graduates will leave college engrained with the idea that they must abandon the time-tested values of the past and pave a new way for themselves. Many have graduated without ever having to take a single course in history. Winston Churchill famously stated, “The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” What will America’s future look like if its people have no knowledge of its past? On today’s show, Stephen Flurry encourages this year’s graduates to learn from past examples, to build character as they did, and to embrace the challenges that lie ahead.
