France has just muddled through a hugely important election. Neither of its mainstream parties made it to the final round—revealing the depth of the political crisis the nation faces. The far-right National Front didn't win, but it achieved its best-ever result. Meanwhile, Britain is also preparing for an election. Here the main left-wing party, the Labour Party, has been taken over by politicians arguably more extreme than the National Front’s. In today's program, Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines what the rise in these extremists says about the state of these countries.

Objectivity in journalism today is virtually dead. Opinion, bias and the greater “truth” now take precedent over facts and evidence. Yesterday, British author Melanie Phillips discussed with the Trumpet staff her experiences in journalism’s dramatic shift away from truth over the past several decades. On today’s show, we take a closer look at some of her comments and examine how truth and objectivity have been thrown out the window when it comes to reporting the news of the world.

In a lecture this week in Edmond, Oklahoma, British journalist Melanie Phillips spoke about the West’s failure to identify the source of many of the world’s problems, especially when it comes to disputes in the Middle East. “The whole basis of the way we look at it is wrong,” she said when speaking about the Isreali-Palestinian conflict. The real solution is to address the cause of the problem. “We have to stop the people trying to exterminate Israel,” she said. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we examine Ms. Phillips’s comments and their importance for America, Britain and Israel.

On this day in 2001, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry announced that the world had entered into the “last hour.” Since that time, world events have been accelerating at a dramatic pace! On today’s program we review this dramatic prophecy and explain how it culminates in the return of Jesus Christ.

America and Britain have both lost their sense of pride. Multiculturalism has become dogma in Britain—to the point where defending Britons is sacrificed for the sake of appearing tolerant. In America, building a wall to secure its southern border is viewed as immoral. Meanwhile, the U.S. government sets aside money in the budget to help nations in the Middle East secure their borders. They have enough sense to see that a secure border is important in other nations, but not at home. The intellectual community in both America and Britain view their nations as evil colonizers, and the rest of the world as well-meaning victims of colonial rule, and white culture. Why won’t the U.S. and Britain stand up for themselves? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Do you need to worry about news from Germany? Is it even important? Is Germany really the leading power in Europe? How? In what way? Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer explains why the Trumpet watches news from Germany.

“The Republicans got rolled,” Charles Krauthammer said when the $1.1 trillion spending bill was made public yesterday. Despite having the majority in the House and Senate, Republicans made virtually no gain in getting funds for many of the projects President Donald Trump promised along the campaign trail. The bill was so bad for Republicans that Democrats were actually celebrating it. Many believed Trump would be the answer to America’s debt addiction, but it now looks like this an irreversible habit. For more on this and other stories, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Trends around the globe are leading to the fulfillment of dramatic Bible prophecies. From the rising Russia-China alliance to Europe’s rearmament, all signs are pointing to war. Even puny North Korea is grabbing headlines around the world with threats of nuclear war. The world is on notice. World War II ended with nuclear bombs. What will a war that starts with nuclear weapons look like? On today’s program, we run through major news stories over the past week and explain where we are in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

“One country’s moral evangelism is the rest of the world’s intolerable smugness,” an opinion writer for Foreign Policy wrote this week. Germany believes that it alone knows best. After World War II, Germany—Western Germany, in particular—was humbled and subordinate to Western alliances. But Germany today is shunning that postwar posture. Where is this leading? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Hans Frank was the Nazi governor-general of occupied Poland during World War II. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of people. His son, Niklas Frank, despises what his father did. Today, he travels around Germany giving speeches about his notorious father and the shameful legacy of Nazi Germany. In a recent interview with the BBC, he warned the world about placing its trust in Germany. There is still something in the German people, Niklas said, that “makes me fear them.” On today’s program, we examine the unique insights of one of Germany’s own—and review what Bible prophecy says about Germany and the last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire.
