#490: Interview With Son of Adolf Hitler's Personal Attorney
Niklas Frank, the son of Hans Frank, a prominent Nazi and confidant of Adolf Hitler, is a retired journalist and author. He is also one of his father’s biggest critics. For many years, Niklas has been outspokenly warning his own people to remember their history—so that history might not repeat itself. In today’s program, Niklas Frank joins host Stephen Flurry and theTrumpet.com’s managing editor Brad Macdonald to discuss Germany's national character, the Catholic Church’s role in Nazi Germany, and Germany's unsuccessful denazification. Even today, there is something in the German people that worries him.
#489: Radical Islam and Britain’s Sickness
The “keep calm and carry on” mentality isn’t stopping terrorists from carrying out horrific attacks on British soil. On Monday night, a suicide bomber detonated a homemade bomb packed with metal objects meant to inflict maximum damage on his target: teenage girls exiting a pop concert. After 22 people were killed and over 50 wounded, Britain’s leadership rushed to the defense of its Muslim population and urged citizens to carry on as usual—a tactic that has yet to produce any positive results. Instead of asking why Britain’s little girls are being slaughtered, the government instead prosecutes those who spew so-called “hate speech” about Islam. What will it take for Britain to wake up to the real problem? Tune in for this and more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#488: What Does It Mean to Live on This Incredible Shrinking Planet?
Staggering technological advancement, the knowledge explosion, globalization and language trends are homogenizing the world. They are effectively shrinking the planet and blending the world’s peoples into an ever more interconnected global community. The integration and collaboration between nations and cultures today are utterly unprecedented. What does it mean to live in a world that is shrinking so quickly? What will be the effect of smashing the geographic and linguistic barriers that have segregated people into distinct cultures for so many centuries?
Many believe it is ushering in a new age of peace among the nations. And there is some evidence that seems to support that view—but other factors point to a very different, very sobering outcome. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, guest host Jeremiah Jacques discusses these questions.
#487: Trump Signals an End to Engagement With Iran
In his speech to Arab heads of state this week in Saudi Arabia, U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Iran. He went after Iran for funding arms deals in proxy nations and training militias that spread destruction and chaos. The king of Saudi Arabia also railed against Iran, calling the country “the spearhead of terrorism.” Saudi Arabia rolled out the red carpet for Mr. Trump because it is terrified of Iran and it wants the U.S. to stand up to the mullahs leading that nation. Will Mr. Trump be able to stop Iran, or will his efforts be too little too late? That and more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#486: Is President Trump the Target of a Political Coup?
America’s major media exploded when anonymous sources said President Donald Trump revealed classified information to Russia. The real scandal, however, is that Mr. Trump “appears to be the target of a political coup,” argued Jake Novak in piece posted on cnbc. “Someone at the highest levels of government has leaked information to the news media. … That’s potentially a serious crime. And this wasn’t the first time,” Novak wrote. Mr. Trump said this week that he was the target of a “witch hunt.” On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show we ask: While Washington is occupied with chasing rumors and other meaningless scandals, who is running the country?
#485: America the Spectacle
“Washington Is Abuzz With Surround Sound of Scandal,” the New York Times said today as President Donald Trump’s supposed “Watergate” scandal heats up.

Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, bookies are betting against Mr. Trump finishing his first term in office. The world is watching America implode.

#484: The Real Watergate Scandal
Calls for President Donald Trump to be impeached are getting louder. Headlines continue to pour in about supposed conspiracies and scandals taking place in the Trump administration. While those allegations may or may not be true, one thing is clear: The major media are working to bring down President Trump. In one way, it is like Watergate. The real scandal then, however, was not what happened at the Watergate Hotel, but the series of lawless moves taken by Nixon’s persecutors to bring him down. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show we discuss the long-lasting effect the real Watergate scandal has had on America.
#483: Our Sins Testify Against Us: 36 Percent of Americans Say Pornography Is Morally Acceptable
The percentage of Americans that view pornography as “morally acceptable” has increased to a record high according to a recent Gallup poll. Thirty-six percent of Americans not only believe pornography is normal—they believe it is moral! American culture is on the “downward plunge,” Herbert W. Armstrong wrote over 50 years ago. Today, America’s downward spiral is accelerating faster than ever. We discuss where this is leading and more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#482: The European Core Is Beginning to Look a Lot Like Charlemagne’s Empire
“The vision of a closer Europe is retreating to the core,” ran a headline in the Financial Times today. One of the European Union’s founders, Jean Monnett, said that “Europe would be forged in crisis.” Bible prophecy says that the future European empire will be made up of a core group of nations smaller than what the EU consists of today. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss some of the latest news coming out of Europe and how it is leading to the formation of a core European superpower.
#481: Trump’s War With the FBI: This Won’t End Well
One of the reasons FBI Director James Comey was fired was because he had lost the confidence of the rank and file of the organization, a White House spokesperson said on Wednesday. The following day, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Comey “enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day.” A strange back-and-forth has erupted between the White House and the FBI about Comey’s reputation.
