[00:30] Spending Ourselves Into Oblivion (29 minutes)

The United States is destroying itself with its out-of-control spending, and Republicans are adding to the national debt instead of making promised cutbacks.

[29:25] Dangerous Times (26 minutes)

Since Oct. 7, 2023, the U.S. has allowed violent anti-Semitism to be expressed openly on college campuses and in cities across the country. These verbal attacks have now escalated into violent terrorist acts against Jews. While negotiating a new nuclear deal with the U.S., Iran has doubled its stockpile of 60 percent-enriched uranium since February. These are dangerous times.

[00:30] Forever Wars Escalate (23 minutes)

Ukraine carried out a daring drone strike in Russia yesterday, targeting strategic bombers parked at Russian air bases as far away as Siberia. President Donald Trump is upset with Israel because its war with Hamas won’t end on his timetable. A terrorist shouting “Free Palestine” attacked a demonstration in support of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, this weekend. Our world is descending into chaos.

[23:30] Herbert W. Armstrong College Commencement Address (2025) (32 minutes)

[00:30] Peace Derangement Syndrome (55 minutes)

The White House is afflicted with peace derangement syndrome, determined to pursue peace at any cost and convinced that terrorists and dictators are great negotiating partners.

[00:30] Witkoff Proclaims Peace While Iran Chants ‘Death to America’ (40 minutes)

This weekend, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed the nuclear talks with America, calling President Donald Trump a liar while Iranian supporters chanted “Death to America!” U.S. leaders are eager to sit down with terrorists who want to kill them. These diplomats are products of a fundamentally unsound educational system that believes human nature is innately good.

[40:30] The Biden Cover-up Continues (15 minutes)

News of former President Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer diagnosis is burying the bombshell disclosures from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview and Jake Tapper’s new book. Biden’s doctors have been concealing his true condition for years—possibly as long as a decade.

[00:30] A Dangerous Age (33 minutes)

Germany is rearming with the full support of the U.S., and rogue communication devices have been found in China-made solar power technology used throughout the U.S. In this dangerous age, history and Bible prophecy provide the vital context for understanding our world.

[33:45] WorldWatch (3 minutes)

[37:00] Why God’s College (18 minutes)

Why does the Philadelphia Church of God have a college?

[00:30] Trump’s Foreign-Policy Flaw: Total Trust in Human Nature (55 minutes)

President Donald Trump’s Middle East negotiations this week have a fatal flaw: The president and his administration make decisions based on total trust in the innate “goodness” of human nature. Inexperienced U.S. officials are reaching out to dictators, tyrants and terrorists in the misguided belief that they can make peace through negotiation. The Bible shows that trusting in man is a curse and will lead to destruction.

[00:30] Purpose of the Resurgence (15 minutes)

The United States economy is in a grave financial situation despite the Trump administration’s attempts to salvage it. However, President Donald Trump’s miracle victory is allowing Americans a brief period for repentance.

[15:00] Propaganda Press (30 minutes)

Jake Tapper is releasing a book about the coverup of President Biden’s health decline—a comprehensive White House and media coverup that Tapper himself participated in. The propaganda media knowingly published lies about Biden’s mental acuity for years.

[45:00] President Trump’s Psalm 83 Tour (10 minutes)

President Trump is on tour in the Middle East and says he’s ready for a “new beginning” with Iran. Meanwhile, Israel has been left off his itinerary as he continues to make decisions that aren’t in the interest of America’s closest ally.

[00:30] Is God Behind America’s Religious Revival? (55 minutes)

The U.S. is experiencing a religious revival led by the Trump administration, and the usually strictly secular mainstream U.S. media is suddenly talking about God. However, this world’s religions cannot provide solutions for our national and individual problems because they ignore the truths of the Bible. Will God answer America’s prayers?

[00:30] Pay to Play (31 minutes)

News outlets are rightly criticizing President Donald Trump for accepting a $400 million ultra-luxury plane from Qatari “jihadists in suits.” The Trump administration is taking a lot of action this week in the Middle East, but this kind of “pay to play” behavior is disturbing.

[31:00] Key of David: “Germany in Prophecy,” Part 3 (25 minutes)

[00:30] Will the New Pope Bring World Peace? (13 minutes)

[27:05] Key of David: ‘Germany in Prophecy’ (28 minutes)

[00:30] Nuclear War? (28 minutes)

India fired missiles into Pakistan overnight, sparking fears of nuclear war between these two nuclear-armed powers.

[28:00] He Was Right (27 minutes)

As dramatic events occur in Europe, we take a step back and recognize Herbert W. Armstrong’s signature prophecies regarding this key region.

[00:30] Elon Musk Leaving DOGE (20 minutes)

Elon Musk is leaving his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Democrats are saying Musk was pressured to leave early by the “forces” of democracy, while others say it was his disagreement with the “big, beautiful spending bill.” Musk’s objective was to simply clean out fraud and cut back on spending—a message too strong for the D.C. swamp to handle.

[20:00] Obama Has Lost His Shine (10 minutes)

Democratic strategists are finally moving past the Obamas and looking for a new leader.

[30:00] WorldWatch (3 minutes)

[33:00] The Key of David (26 minutes)

[00:30] Photo of the Year (22 minutes)

President Trump stated he will be a two-term president. The White House Correspondents Association’s “Photo of the Year” is a boring picture of former President Joe Biden walking away from a podium—instead of the iconic image of President Donald Trump standing up immediately after almost being assassinated in July 2024.

[22:45] German Election Drama (30 minutes)

New German Chancellor Friedrich Merz did not win the first vote to confirm him as chancellor, tarnishing his prestige and reputation as leader of Germany.

[52:30] Celtic Throne Feedback (3 minutes)

[00:30] Last Hour Anniversary (36 minutes)

May 5, 2001, was the beginning of a critical time period that the Bible calls “the last hour.” God requires true Christians to have a sense of urgency in this last hour and be willing to follow Christ wherever He leads.

[36:20] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[40:10] Ten Years of Trumpet Daily (15 minutes)

[00:30] Young Americans Step Up (35 minutes)

In an age when many world leaders act like emotionally immature children, a few young members of society are stepping up. The youthful members of the Department of Government Efficiency are exposing deep corruption in the U.S. Treasury, and American youth are again signing up to serve in the military. But these few bright spots and DOGE’s government spending cutbacks won’t solve our deeper problems.

[35:00] One Nation Going Under (18 minutes)

President Trump stated yesterday, “If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” Recognizing this truth will not save America unless we experience true national repentance.

[00:30] Tomorrow’s News Today (50 minutes)

After the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second official presidential term, the international community is still trying to find its footing and the U.S. is divided about whether his actions have helped or harmed the nation. In these uncertain times, we must ask where we are in the panorama of prophesied world events. Herbert W. Armstrong was right about the earthshaking events occurring today.

[50:30] Feedback (5 minutes)

[00:30] Lessons From the Vietnam Spectacle (55 minutes)

Fifty years on from the fall of Saigon, the disastrous history of the Vietnam War should teach the United States many important lessons. Instead of learning these lessons, the U.S. media is focused on condemning President Donald Trump for deporting illegal immigrant criminals.

[00:30] Canada’s Trump Derangement Syndrome (55 minutes)

The spirit of hatred for U.S. President Donald Trump dominated the latest Canadian election cycle, leading to the unlikely victory of Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney, who is cut from the same cloth as former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, promised Canadians he would never yield to the United States. Politicians, media personnel and citizens around the world are making critical decisions based on uncontrolled emotion and anti-Trump outrage—a dangerous trend that will lead to crisis.

[00:30] The ‘Iconic’ Vatican and Trump’s Misguided Peace Deal (34 minutes)

The papal conclave to select the next pope will begin on May 7. Catholics hope that the new pope will unite the divided Catholic Church and bring more transparency to the deeply corrupt institution. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held an impromptu meeting at the “iconic” Vatican. President Trump hopes to broker a peace deal to end the Ukraine war, but his solutions won’t solve the underlying problems that started the war in the first place. Mankind has a lot of faith in human institutions and diplomacy but no faith in God.

[34:00] Activists in Judges’ Robes (22 minutes)

The regime media is predictably outraged after Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested for helping an illegal immigrant criminal avoid ICE arrest.

[00:30] U.S. and Europe Diverge on Ukraine (38 minutes)

The White House allows “new media” in the press briefing room, infuriating established media outlets like CNN. The radical left still hopes to undermine the Trump administration through the federal court system and legacy media propaganda. Meanwhile, the Ukraine war is dividing the U.S. and Europe, and nations around the world are suddenly interested in nuclear proliferation.

[38:20] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[41:45] Administering God’s Government (14 minutes)

A strong leader for God knows how to administer God’s government well.

[00:30] Trump’s 1914 ‘Peace Plan’ for Ukraine (45 minutes)

President Donald Trump’s leaked peace plan to end the Ukraine war has shocked the world because it rewards Russia instead of supporting battle-torn Ukraine. This peace plan highlights the fundamentally flawed premise of the president’s international diplomacy. History proves that trusting dictators to keep their word is foolish. World events are coalescing toward a crisis that no human-devised peace plan will solve.

[45:00] The Vatican ‘Deep State’ (10 minutes)

As all eyes turn to the Vatican after the death of Pope Francis, some journalists are exposing the depth of the “Vatican deep state” and the difficulties the new pope will face.

[00:30] Saint Kilmar (27 minutes)

Democrats are still championing the cause of illegal immigrant gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has symbols representing MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles. While the media is focused on Kilmar, other illegal aliens with long rap sheets are repeatedly committing crimes across the United States.

[27:00] America’s Diseased Health-care System (28 minutes)

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains the health crisis America faces due to our diseased and money-obsessed health-care system. Disobeying God’s laws has caused America’s decline in health.

[00:30] The End of a Republic (32 minutes)

U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff’s latest Israel-Hamas ceasefire plan is extremely lopsided in the terrorists’ favor. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is leaving the Department of Government Efficiency after criticizing the latest government spending bill for increasing the deficit instead of balancing the national budget.

[32:00] Melanie Phillips Interview, Part 3 (23 minutes)

Listen to Part 3 of our interview with conservative author Melanie Phillips.

[00:30] Judicial Despotism (37 minutes)

In an act of judicial despotism this weekend, the Supreme Court ordered President Donald Trump to cease deporting illegal alien gang members without due process, even though these illegals are not U.S. citizens and have committed crimes against the nation.

[37:40] Death of Pope Francis (18 minutes)

The world experiences a resurgence in Catholic religious fervor after the death of “woke” Pope Francis.

[00:30] Death of Pope Francis (56 minutes)

Pope Francis, the liberal “people’s pope,” died this morning. Catholics hope for a new pope who will prevent the world from descending into the abyss, but prophecy shows that an end-time leader of the Roman Catholic Church will help unify the last and most dangerous resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire. The latest Trumpet magazine features a prescient article titled “A New Pope for a New Era,” prophesying that the dangerous prophetic age we are entering into will require a new and much stronger pope.

[00:30] The Forgetfulness of Human Nature (48 minutes)

Commentators and historians on both the left and right sides of the political aisle are rewriting history to reflect modern liberal ideas. In a modern age that is extremely bad at remembering, true historians are the “anti-amnesia shock troops” who fight to protect the truth of the past. The biblical example of young King Josiah shows the correct response to studying history.

[48:40] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] The Radical Left Loves Criminals (32 minutes)

MS-13 illegal immigrant criminal Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Democrats’ anti-deportation poster child, but his nefarious criminal past raises serious questions about why the Democrats are so focused on protecting due process for this man who isn’t even a U.S. citizen. The radical left’s heart is with criminal illegals, but even CNN admits that most of America thinks President Donald Trump’s immigration policy restrictions are on the right track.

[32:00] Rewriting World War II History (23 minutes)

Some American conservatives are painting Winston Churchill as the villain of World War II while defending Adolf Hitler. Rewriting World War II history is dangerous because that history is now repeating itself.

[00:30] Democrats’ Last Stand (30 minutes)

Democrats are bent on defending an MS-13 gangbanger who was deported to El Salvador. The left’s plan to use the federal court system to thwart President Donald Trump’s deportations of illegal immigrant criminals will backfire.

[30:40] Harvard Plays the Martyr (6 minutes)

President Trump is freezing woke Harvard University’s funding because it rejected his demands to fight anti-Semitism.

[37:00] Christ Is the Way (18 minutes)

The world is deeply confused about the right way to live. Jesus Christ shows us the way.

[00:30] Trump Administration Supports JCPOA 2.0 (51 minutes)

The Trump administration’s proposed deal with Iran is eerily similar to Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which allowed Iran to quietly pursue its nuclear goals. President Donald Trump and his team are big on dialogue, but dialogue will not solve the Iranian nuclear threat, neutralize Hamas, or convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to retreat from Ukraine. Though President Trump recognizes that Iran is “tapping us along” to get its own way, other leaders are beginning to view him as a geopolitical bloviator who talks big but doesn’t follow through.

[51:30] Feedback (4 minutes)

[00:30] The Fruits of the ‘Get’ Way (27 minutes)

Today’s headlines provide dozens of examples of the problems that arise when nations are focused only on getting for themselves. This spirit of competition will not bring world peace.

[27:30] Jesus Christ—the Bread of Life (23 minutes)

Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread picture breaking away from the sins of this world and taking on the character of Jesus Christ, the bread of life.

[00:30] Peace With Iran? (18 minutes)

The United States has begun direct negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. News of the talks came as a surprise to America’s greatest ally in the Middle East—Israel. Another round of nuclear negotiations with Iran is a nightmare for Israel. This is the latest example of the Trump administration betraying Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel.

[19:00] Negotiating With Terrorists (28 minutes)

The United States continues to try to deal with Hamas and Qatar. In the midst of these shameful negotiations, a rift is deepening between the U.S. and Israel. There is a fatal flaw in President Trump’s foreign policy that will not bring peace.

[47:00] Archaeology Updates (8 minutes)

The “Kingdom of David and Solomon Discovered” exhibit in Edmond, Oklahoma, will be wrapping up in one month. In Jerusalem, Herbert W. Armstrong College students are helping with an excavation on the Ophel.

[00:30] Overselling the Pause (40 minutes)

President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs yesterday on all nations except China. Trump officials and media pundits said the pause was all part of a grand strategy. One adviser said we’re “watching the greatest economic master strategy from an American president in history.” Is this really by design, or is America quite a bit more vulnerable than Trump officials realize?

[40:00] The Big Picture (15 minutes)

Amid all the back and forth about tariffs and what’s best for the economy, both sides are missing the most important knowledge needed to truly solve problems in this world.

[00:30] Trade War Escalation Continues (52 minutes)
President Donald Trump is taking the Chinese dragon head on, something no recent U.S. leader has been willing to do. Past presidential administrations have built a U.S. economy completely dependent on foreign goods and supply chains. Now China is cutting off shipments of critical rare earth minerals used in U.S. defense manufacturing and other crucial industries, proving Trump’s point that the U.S. is far too reliant on China.

[00:30] BidenGate (23 minutes)

Details about the so-called cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline continue to emerge. We now know that the Democrat plan was to install a “mentally incapacitated” president they could control and the COVID-19 lockdowns provided the perfect cover. The question remains: Who was running the country? From the start, the Trumpet wasn’t fooled about who was in control.

[23:30] Melanie Phillips Interview, Part 2 (29 minutes)

Listen to Part 2 of our interview with conservative author Melanie Phillips.

[00:30] Trump Followed Through on Tariffs (55 minutes)

President Donald Trump’s stance on trade imbalances and tariffs was remarkably consistent for 40 years, but the media views his trade decisions since regaining office as shocking and unexpected. During his second official term, President Trump has become more audacious in using his king-like power. Meanwhile, the leaderless Democratic Party is floundering without the influence of former President Barack Obama.

[00:30] Ongoing Trade War (55 minutes)
Nations worldwide have been charging extremely high tariffs on U.S. goods for years. Now President Donald Trump is public enemy No. 1 because he is trying to protect U.S. interests by charging similar tariffs. Though media moguls forecast disaster after stock market losses in the first week of April, many nations are now working out free-trade deals with the U.S. that would help the American economy. Though these deals could initiate a short-term economic boost, the ultimate prophetic implications of open trade war are clear: International powers will ultimately band together in an anti-U.S. trade bloc.

[00:30] Trump Tariffs Trigger Bible Prophecy (39 minutes)

Worldwide trade war places human nature’s get-focused competitive spirit fully on display. The Trump administration has enacted tariffs to salvage the U.S.’s long-term economic health, hoping to bring manufacturing home and encourage other nations to lower tariffs on U.S. goods. However, most of our former economic allies have retaliated with their own high tariffs, triggering a tit-for-tat tariff war.

[43:30] A Functionally Illiterate Generation (12 minutes)

America’s youth are no longer proficient in even the basics of education, devoting their time instead to technology and TikTok. True education requires work.

[00:30] History Is Repeating Itself (55 minutes)

Prophetic events in the heart of Europe are moving swiftly, but American commentators still doubt that a rearmed, remilitarized Germany is a problem. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is uniting the world against the U.S. through tariffs.

[00:30] Warfare Is in the Air (55 minutes)

Nations are preparing for war while their leaders talk endlessly about peace. Meanwhile, DOGE is setting its sights on politicians who are somehow worth far more than they earn, investigating why it seems to pay so well to join the uniparty. In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to watch world events and compare them to Bible prophecy.

[00:30] The Opening Salvos of World War III (55 minutes)

Europe does not view the United States as an ally anymore. President Donald Trump has enacted stringent tariffs to encourage its trading partners to end unfair trade practices that hurt the U.S. economy. In response, European nations are uniting in protest, using the situation as an excuse to militarize while insisting everything is America’s fault.

[00:30] Trade War and Illegal Immigrant Voters (55 minutes)

President Donald Trump is a dealmaker, but not all of his deals are going well. The U.S. has enacted tariffs to force other countries to make their trade with the U.S. more fair, but America’s allies are uniting in anger against the U.S. for standing up for itself. Meanwhile, the Department of Government Efficiency has revealed that the Joebama administration gave Social Security numbers to illegal immigrants so they could vote Democrat.

[00:30] U.S.-Canada Trade War (22 minutes)

Canada and the United States are in full-fledged trade war. However, President Donald Trump’s battle is not with Canadians in general but with the nation’s radical-left leadership, which has declared it wants to inflict as much pain as possible on the U.S. because of tariffs.

[22:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[26:15] The Most Transparent Government Agency (29 minutes)

Fox News host Bret Baier interviewed Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team regarding DOGE’s attempts to keep the U.S. from going bankrupt.

[00:30] Trade Wars Are Here (38 minutes)

President Donald Trump is escalating the trade war, imposing a 25 percent tariff on all cars not made in the U.S. in an attempt to restore American manufacturing at the cost of international relations. These tariffs will hit Germany the hardest—but Volkswagen is already discussing using its manufacturing plants to produce vehicles for the German military.

[00:30] The Crisis at the Close (55 minutes)

The world has entered a dangerous new nuclear age. The global balance of power is teetering as Europe pulls further away from the United States and other nations rethink their alliances. U.S. media continues to harp on the Signal chat scandal, but most Americans are more focused on the Trump administration’s solutions for domestic problems like illegal immigration and violent crime. The FBI has launched a Tesla “terrorism” task force to investigate the many recent attacks against Elon Musk’s company, while FBI Director Kash Patel works to redistribute the high concentration of FBI resources in Washington, D.C.

[00:30] Decline in Judeo-Christian Values (28 minutes)

The United States was founded on timeless Judeo-Christian values. Our national and international decline is directly tied to the widespread abandonment of these beliefs.

[28:45] Trumpet Daily Exclusive Interview: Melanie Phillips (27 minutes)

Trumpet Daily host Stephen Flurry and celebrated author and journalist Melanie Phillips discuss a variety of topics, including President Donald Trump’s dangerously misguided negotiations with terrorists, the current situation in Israel, and how the decline in Judeo-Christian values is endangering civilization itself.

[00:30] Trump Admins ‘Signal’ Blunder (39 minutes)

Somehow Jeffrey Goldberg, one of Barack Obama’s favorite journalists at the Atlantic, was added to a Trump administration group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal. Goldberg took screenshots of the messages, which some have argued contain classified material, and published the information today in an article titled “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”

[39:00] Democrat Cities Fight Deportations (12 minutes)

While the Trump administration works to deport illegal immigrants, some city governors have declared their intention of fighting back.

[50:40] Feedback (4 minutes)

[00:30] Deadly Naiveté (20 minutes)

The current U.S. administration places an enormous amount of trust in men, even madmen like Russian President Vladimir Putin. Tucker Carlson had a disturbing and revealing interview with Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff that showed what the Trump administration thinks about making peace: Anything can be solved with dialogue. This naive worldview can only have disastrous consequences.

[20:00] No Hope in Man (35 minutes)

The Bible clearly shows that when world leaders say “peace and safety,” sudden destruction is coming. As times grow more urgent, true Christians must sprint, spiritually, toward the finish line.

[00:30] Dismantling the Department of Education (30 minutes)

President Donald Trump has signed an order to dismantle the Department of Education. His decision immediately sparked rampant Trump Derangement Syndrome in the media even though media personalities can’t even explain what the DOE actually does.

[30:45] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[34:30] Activist Judges Carry On the Resistance (21 minutes)

Federal judges are still trying to block Trump’s executive orders, insisting that he does not have the power to fire federal employees, deport foreign terorrists, revoke federal grants, or stop government waste. Meanwhile, Democrats are cheering on the Tesla terrorists and joking about vandalism and violence.

[00:30] Does Donald Trump Know the Way to Peace? (44 minutes)

President Donald Trump has made some very positive changes to domestic policy in the United States, but he has a deadly weakness in peace negotiations and international diplomacy. Headlines from around the world openly discuss a “nuclear wave” and support an international arms race that is supposed to somehow guarantee peace. Despite world leaders’ avowed belief that world peace is possible, Bible prophecy shows that these last days are “perilous times.”

[44:00] Prodigal Son (11 minutes)

The parable of the prodigal son teaches many important lessons about repentance.
