In every branch of the United States military, there is a strong emphasis on character development. West Point, for example, stresses that every cadet must live honorably, both on and off duty. Despite these solid building blocks in America’s military institutions, character is in crisis! In the U.S. Navy alone, last year 20 commanding officers and four executive officers were fired for dishonorable behavior! Why is this happening? And what does God have to say about it?

The Church is like a school, and Jesus was the original Master, or teacher. God calls out of the world disciples, or students, for the purpose of educating them to become teachers and also rulers with and under Christ, for when He returns to this Earth in power and glory to teach all nations!

In today’s high-intensity political scene where left and right are more divided than ever, the left has stooped to the low level of politicizing horrific events to work to their advantage. Liberals are quick to draw conclusions, before facts are revealed and evidence presented, in order to stir up support for their agenda. The murder of the M.P. in the United Kingdom and the Orlando shooting last weekend are prime examples. The practice is both dangerous and divisive, and it shows a lack of respect for the victims of those tragedies. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses just how far the left will go to promote its bias.

On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses:

George Friedman’s latest article on the Orlando shootings What Europe and Britain will look like after Britain is out of the European Union Canada’s new gender-neutral national anthem A look into the relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father.

Each time radical Islamists carry out a successful attack on United States soil, the Obama administration’s measured response has been as consistent as it is predictable: steadfastly defend the religion of Islam and furiously attack Americans’ rights to bear arms. Blame the guns—not the killers who pull the triggers. For more on the latest attack in Orlando and the overall increase of terrorist attacks worldwide, listen to Stephen Flurry on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Russia’s remilitarization is only just getting started, but Europe is already scared. European nato members have reversed course on defense spending, building their armies instead of shrinking them. Poland is encouraging the rise of private militia groups, even allowing them to take part in nato exercises. Yet Britain is moving in the opposite direction: cutting its navy down to impotence. Trumpet staff writer Richard Palmer examines Europe’s remilitarization.

Once upon a time, the media labeled anyone who said “Islam is a violent religion” as Islamophobic. But after the Orlando shooting this weekend, all you need to do to earn that label is mention that the terrorist was Muslim. The shooting has been blamed on “hatred,” “religious fundamentalism, whether your call it ‘Christian’ or ‘Muslim,’” and even “the patriarchy.” One senator was so anxious to avoid the term “Islamic terrorism” that he referred to the attack as a “public health crisis.” No one wants to talk about radical Islam. Even after news media reported Omar Mateen’s pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State, United States President Barack Obama said he had no “judgment on the precise motivations of the killer.” As former CIA director James Woolsey said, “You can’t effectively fight something if you can’t discuss it.” Trumpet writer Richard Palmer explores America’s muddled response to Sunday’s shooting and shows why America cannot solve a problem that it refuses to see.

In just six days in 1967, the nation of Israel beat back three attacking Arab armies, gaining the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights and the West Bank, including all of Jerusalem. Many commentators and soldiers at the time acknowledged God's miraculous intervention in the war. And yet, 49 years later this week, how many remember God's help? In today's program, Jerusalem correspondent Brent Nagtegaal looks back to the Six Day War and then further to the time of Nehemiah to show how and why God once helped the Jews gain victories.

“Britain is going to look back on Monday, Jan. 1, 1973, in all probability, as a most tragically historic date—a date fraught with ominous potentialities!” wrote Herbert W. Armstrong when Britain first joined the European Union. “For that date marked the United Kingdom’s entry into the European Community.” On today’s show, Trumpet writer Richard Palmer looks at the picture 40 years on. Has the EU hurt Britain? How much control does Brussels have? Will leaving the EU solve Britain's problem?

Early into United States President Barack Obama’s first term in office he said he believed in American exceptionalism just as “Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” His comment brought strong criticism from the right. Some even wondered if President Obama understood what the term “American exceptionalism” meant. He later backtracked on the comment and tried to clarify what exactly he meant. Ironically, current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s view of American exceptionalism is even more left than President Obama’s. When asked about it a little over a year ago, he pointedly said, “I don’t like the term.” On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses American exceptionalism, what it is, where it came from and what America must do to hold onto it.
