In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, America’s leaders were united in fighting radical Islam. Just 15 years later, America’s leadership and the media seem blind to there being any real enemy of the United States. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains the danger of failing to identify the enemy and where this trend is taking the U.S.

Near the end of World War ii, America and Britain promised to keep the German war machine down. Not even a decade later, America made the mistake of thinking the enemy had been defeated and that Germany could be trusted as an ally. Now Germany and Europe are arming again, largely thanks to America and Britain. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains how America’s misplaced trust in former enemies is going to suddenly lead to its downfall.

We are about to witness some electrifying prophecies come to pass in Europe at a lightning-fast pace! With Britain on the way out of the European Union, influential voices in Europe are calling for the EU to be dramatically restructured. In August 1950, Herbert W. Armstrong said that the world would be “stunned” and “dumbfounded” by how quickly a powerful "United States of Europe" would emerge on the scene. The Bible says the fulfillment of these prophecies immediately precedes the return of Jesus Christ. We must not be caught off guard, as much of the world will be, when these events begin to occur. Keep up with these important trends on the Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Seventy years ago, when Germany was in rubble after World War ii, Herbert W. Armstrong boldly proclaimed that it would rise up to lead and dominate a European military power. Most people scoffed at that predication, but now it is happening. After decades of reliance on the United States and nato, the members of the European Union are pushing hard to form their own military force. For more about the latest developments on the European military project and where this will lead Europe, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

The European Union can move ahead with forming its own military force now that the project’s biggest protester is on its way out of the EU. “We have the political space today to do things that were not really doable in previous years,” the EU’s head of foreign affairs said with regard to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the union. For decades it seemed a united European army would be impossible, but now it is one of the biggest talking points in post-Brexit Europe. More than 60 years ago, one man forecast this would happen.

Every world leader who arrived in China over the weekend for the G-20 summit was welcomed on a red carpet, except for United States President Barack Obama. Over the few days of his visit, the president’s entourage and the accompanying U.S. press have faced numerous obstacles from Chinese officials. President Obama dismissed the obvious snub by China, saying he wasn’t alarmed by it and that it has happened before in other nations. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses the latest from the U.S. president’s China visit. Also tune in to hear how Angela Merkel’s waning popularity has become more clear after recent elections.

On March 30, 1981, less than three months into his presidency, Ronald Reagan was shot. Throughout the incident, Reagan displayed qualities of a strong and collected leader. After his near-death experience, his sense of responsibility and mission was heightened—he believed that God had saved his life. In the midst of this episode he thanked God for many blessings. While in the hospital, he wrote in his diary, “I opened my eyes once to find Nancy there. I pray I’ll never face a day when she isn’t there. Of all the ways God has blessed me, giving her to me is the greatest and beyond anything I can ever hope to deserve.” On today’s show, listen to Stephen Flurry recount the details of this incredible story.

Since the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama promised his administration would be the most transparent in history. After nearly eight years of being caught up in serious problems, even the media has complained about how opaque the administration has been. Despite this, leading officials still tout the administration as an example of clarity and truthfulness. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry looks at the parallels between this administration and the ancient ruler Antiochus.

Lying has gone mainstream, especially among politicians who will even lie about their lies. Why is this spirit of deception so strong? Where will it lead our nations if it isn’t fixed? On today’s show, we explain who is behind the spirit of lying and why this force has become more powerful over the last generation.

In 2014, the Trumpet staff put together a series of articles depicting what the world would look like without America. Over two years later, we have some vivid examples that show how disastrous America’s lack of leadership has been for the world. One area that strikingly proves this point is in Syria, where the United States said it would intervene but never did. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry takes a look at Syria and explains how it reveals what life is like in a post-American world.
