After Sept. 11, 2001, Western leaders told people to go about their daily lives or else “the terrorists would win.” Fifteen years later, the advice is that we must now learn to live with terrorism. Nations like France and Germany are responding to the threat of potentially large attacks by canceling large events and encouraging citizens to stockpile food. George Friedman recently wrote, “[T]he whole point of terrorism is to take the population to the point where fear is the only rational response.” The terrorists have continued to push, and now they are clearly winning. Listen to Stephen Flurry discuss more on this topic on today’s show.

Since the beginning of this year, the Obama administration has said that the transfer of $400 million to Iran and the return of United States prisoners in Iran on the same day were unrelated issues. President Barack Obama and his staff stressed that the U.S. does not pay ransom. He even said the idea that it was a ransom was “the manufacturing of outrage” by those opposed to the administration. This week, however, the U.S. State Department admitted the two actions were related and that it was—though still refusing to call it as such—a ransom. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry digs into the latest on this event and also continues the discussion from the previous show on how to develop as a cultured individual.

God created the beauty that we see around this world. And He created the five senses through which He wants us to receive enjoyment and pleasure to the fullest, but only in accordance with His law. How should we use our senses to become a truly cultured individual the way God wants us to be? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Massive forest fires are devastating areas of the United States, while other areas are experiencing record flooding. What is the cause of this disastrous weather? Some blame it on weather patterns, others on climate change. But the Bible forecast thousands of years in advance that nations would experience natural disasters as a result of another, more important factor. “[A]nd I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered,” the Prophet Amos wrote (Amos 4:7). On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains why these destructive natural disasters are occurring with more frequency.

The Pentagon announced Monday that 15 Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to the United Arab Emirates. This marks the single biggest transfer of detainees under President Barack Obama. Will this move make America safer? The Obama administration announced that it is pushing for the United States to adopt a nuclear policy of no-first-use. America’s allies are shocked by the idea. And now the U.S. is beginning the process of disarmament in a world that is rapidly becoming more violent. How well do you balance between using your mind and relying too much on technology? Stephen Flurry discusses the dangers of outsourcing once routine mental exercises to technology.

The shooting of an armed black man by a black police office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, over the weekend sparked violent protests across the city. Many attacks were aimed directly at white people even though the shooting couldn’t possibly have had a racist motive. The protests show the growing racial divide in the United States. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry talks about the latest incident in Milwaukee and how President Barack Obama’s policies are helping fuel these problems.
