United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died last Friday. Justice Scalia was a staunch constitutionalist and for nearly 30 years fought relentlessly to defend the U.S. Constitution and uphold the rule of law. Scalia was pivotal in holding back the rising tide of lawlessness, and his death marks a significant moment in Satan the devil’s ongoing rampage of lawlessness. On today’s program, Trumpet columnist Brad Macdonald discusses Justice Scalia’s death and its implications for America’s future.

Do you endure hard things? What can you do to be prepared for the challenges in life? Stephen Flurry explains on today’s program that the best way to endure hardness is to run to it. Also on today’s show, how President Barack Obama’s time in office has done more to divide America than unite it.

The Syria crisis has gotten even messier since Russian jets and Iranian ground troops began their assault on rebel forces in the Syrian city of Aleppo this month. Analysts fear the siege will produce a new wave of migrants. More worrying though is the United States' reaction to the players carrying out the assault. Russia and Iran were supposed to be fighting the Islamic State, and were, for the most part, encouraged by the West. However, it’s now clear Russia and Iran are bent on propping up the Assad regime as it fights Western-backed rebel forces. U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East is helpless as it supports supposed allies in one nation and ends up fighting them in another. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry digs into the mess created in Syria and exposes the facts America has tried to ignore.

President Barack Obama’s $4.1 trillion budget is the culmination of seven years of an administration bent on redistributing America’s wealth. An editorial piece from Investor Business Daily reports that 70 percent of the budget is allocated for what is essentially “writing checks to individuals.” The budget focuses on financing social programs and is built around increased taxes on America’s wealthy. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry asks, What will happen when America runs out of other people’s money?

Over the weekend, the Sunday Times featured a front-page article saying Margaret Thatcher would have voted yes to the European Union. The claim was made by one of her former advisers, Lord Powell. The Times jumped on his statement writing, “She would have gone along with what is on offer, indeed negotiated something similar herself.” Even leading up to her death, Margaret Thatcher’s skepticism of the EU did not dwindle. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry looks back at some of Margaret Thatcher’s key remarks about Britain and the EU.

During the second half of today’s show, Mr. Flurry explains the purpose and spiritual importance of marriage.

“The United States of America, right now, has the strongest, most durable economy in the world,” President Barack Obama said in his statement on the economy last Friday. The president cited stats showing job growth and low unemployment rates and promised that his upcoming budget will maintain that progress. To the naysayers criticizing America’s “progress," the president said, “Talking down the American economy … does not make that progress.” But is the economy doing better? Are the people wrong who are “talking down” the economy? On today’s program, Stephen Flurry examines some of the sobering facts about America’s real economic status and explains how a soon-coming economic crisis will be the catalyst that leads to the fulfillment of many prophecies in the Bible.

There has been a strong push in Western nations to create multicultural societies. We were told the more diverse and tolerant we were, the stronger and more united our nation would become. The story has been told from Germany to the United States, and the same is true for both places: Multiculturalism has failed. Not only has multiculturalism failed to unite the nations, it is actually having the opposite effect and quickening their demise. Why is there so much confusion surrounding this topic? What is the truth, and why has man been so far removed from being able to find it? Listen to Stephen Flurry answer these questions on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

U.S. President Obama spoke at a U.S. mosque yesterday for the first time during his presidency. The president addressed the real threat posed by terrorists, but again refused to admit there was any relationship between terror and Islam. “So the best way for us to fight terrorism is to deny these organizations legitimacy …” he said. The motives of terror organizations like the Islamic State and Al Qaeda are given legitimacy—so Mr. Obama believes—when the religion of Islam is associated with their actions. And so America’s war against the nameless organizations spreading terror around the world continues. On today’s program Stephen Flurry explains that in order to conquer an enemy, it must first be identified.

The year 2015 saw cyberthreats brought to the mainstream in America. Numerous attacks were carried out against private businesses, government agencies and local infrastructure. People’s lives were in danger, and millions had personal information compromised. The threat is real and it’s not always clear who the enemy is. This puts America in a vulnerable position that its enemies will exploit. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry looks back at some of the major cybersecurity threats of 2015 and explains how it is leading to a prophesied decline in America’s power.

More than 70 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction of the United States. And as another election season heats up, politicians again sound very optimistic about solving America’s problems and leading the nation toward a bright future. Haven’t we heard these promises many times before—even as America’s problems continue to get much worse? Listen to Stephen Flurry explain why no politician can rescue America from ruin.

Also on today’s program, Stephen Flurry follows up on President Barack Obama’s decision to “normalize” relations with Cuba a little over a year ago. Opening diplomatic ties with Cuba in December 2014 was lauded by the administration at the time, but today, the left-wing Washington Post editorial board is already calling this decision a total failure.
