The South African government has passed a new law that allows the government to help itself to private land. United States President Donald Trump has taken a hard stance against the law, promising to cut off funding to South Africa until it is investigated. Some have accused South Africa of having openly racist ownership laws. More than ever, white farmers face the threat of having their land stolen. The nation has placed itself under an undesirable spotlight.

Trumpet World host Richard Palmer interviews Ernst van Zyl, head of public relations at AfriForum. They discuss the details of an onslaught against private property rights in South Africa, as well as the country’s unhealthy obsession with race.

The Wonderful World Tomorrow—What It Will Be Like

On today’s live show, we start by discussing the “Doomsday Clock,” which is the closest to midnight it has ever been at 89 seconds. Herbert W. Armstrong warned about this topic decades ago.

Host Richard Palmer emphasizes how the EU is sending peacekeepers to monitor and assist with the Rafah border crossing. Once again, Europe’s reach in the Middle East is expanding and actually being welcomed.

Mihailo Zekic provides an update on the hostage return, Syrian leadership and an interesting development in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Lastly, Andrew Miiller elaborates on President Donald Trump’s mass deportations and how we can forget the first 100 days in office and focus on the first 100 hours. He also recaps the plane-helicopter collision and the alarming trend of illiteracy in American children.

On today’s episode, our European correspondent Josué Michels chats with Nicolaos Khovrin Komnenos, an international lawyer and general secretary of the United Cyprus Republican Party. They discuss Cyprus's tumultuous history, the Crusades, how the European Union has impacted and influenced Cyprus, and the geostrategic significance of this tiny island.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has long warned that Cyprus will play an important role in the coming clash of nations; this discussion between Josué and Nicolaos helps explain why.

President Donald Trump has been in office for less than a week, and he’s already done more than most right-wing governments accomplish in their entire term. With executive actions flying off his desk, we already have a picture of what his second term in office will be like. Meanwhile Europe is scrambling to decide how to react to such a strong American leader.

China is threatening Taiwan—again. Jeremiah Jacques highlights how Chinese leader Xi Jinping has his eyes on a goal and not even Trump is dissuading him. Also, Russia is concerned about America’s potential response to the Ukraine invasion.

We now have more information about the Israel-Hamas hostage deal, and it does not look good for Israel. Why would pro-Israel President Trump be so enthusiastic about a deal like this?

Israel and Hamas are close to a ceasefire. Will it hold, is it a good deal, and did President Donald Trump make it happen? Trump has focused on regaining control of naval choke points. Yet Joe Biden just made a dangerous deal with Cuba, which contains a critical U.S. naval base. Why? And nuclear bombs are back, with reports that countries want to rearm despite the potentially grave consequences. In today’s live show, host Richard Palmer and guests discuss the top stories of the week.

Trumpet writer Mihailo Zekic interviews Oleksii Babenko, founder and CEO of Vyriy Drone, a Ukrainian company specializing in the production of attack drones for the Ukrainian military.

[01:44] Interview With Oleksii Babenko

We are entering the age of drone warfare. Unmanned aerial vehicles are one of the biggest leaps in warfare within the last few years, especially in the war between Russia and Ukraine. How far will this new age of warfare advance?

Trumpet writer Mihailo Zekic interviews Oleksii Babenko, founder and CEO of Vyriy Drone, a Ukrainian company specializing in the production of attack drones for the Ukrainian military. He started as a civilian volunteer, but Babenko’s three-year-old company is now one of the main contractors of FPV drones used by the Ukrainian government. In this interview, they discuss drone warfare on the front lines, as well as Europe and China’s increasing interest in this sector.

[28:31] The Biblical Perspective

What does the Bible have to say about this terrifying new age of advanced warfare we are living in? The Bible does not specifically mention drones, but prophecies in Matthew 24 and Revelation 9 explain just how bad things will be before they get better.

[00:11] Why ‘Natural’ Disasters?

A deadly earthquake struck Tibet early this week. Deadly fires rage in Los Angeles. Host Richard Palmer and the panel discuss the natural disasters striking around the world and why a loving God lets them happen.

[18:45] Fortress America

Justin Trudeau resigned this week, while Don Trump Jr. visited Greenland, and President Trump discussed the Panama Canal. Donald Trump has big plans for North America—but will they come true? Meanwhile China is preparing to challenge the U.S. in Latin America. Will it succeed in breaching fortress America?

[48:20] Germany’s AfD, Nazi or Not?

The far right seems set to provide Austria’s next chancellor. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is giving Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland a loud megaphone. With Musk’s help, it is masquerading as a sensible, right wing party that can solve Germany’s problems. Is that what it really is?

[01:03:00] Lebanon Still Shifting to Europe

Lebanon has a new leader—and despite the vote of one Lebanese MP, it’s not Bernie Sanders. This new president will help shift Lebanon closer to the European Union, an important prophesied trend.

Host Richard Palmer and Canadian correspondent Abraham Blondeau discuss the recent news of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

Justin Trudeau has left Canada a mess. Canada’s mass immigration dwarfs that of any other Western nation. Government-assisted murder has become the fourth-biggest cause of death for Canadians. People who merely donated to a protest movement Trudeau disagreed with had their bank accounts frozen.

Host Richard Palmer and Canadian correspondent Abraham Blondeau discuss the recent news of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation. What will the next few months look like with Trudeau in office without parliamentary oversight? And what is the real cause of Canada’s dysfunction?

Join us for a lively discussion surrounding the miraculous shift in Canadian politics, who will replace Trudeau, the real causes behind the nation's problems, and whether Canada will become a U.S. state.

[00:30] Ignorance of Terrorism

A terrorist rammed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans. A bomber blew up a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Both men served at the same military base. There is no official word on if they are connected, but one thing is certain: Violence and terrorism have overtaken the beginning of 2025. Host Richard Palmer and Trumpet writer Andrew Miiller discuss this alarming issue that has taken center stage at the start of this year. On a related note, Britain has repeatedly turned a blind eye to its Muslim grooming gangs. Both countries are waking up to the fact that they have been importing terrorists for years. Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 prophesied these exact dangers and show why America and Britain face them today. One major reason is ignorant tolerance. These nations are failing to protect their innocents in favor of the perpetrators.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has warned of these ambitions for years, all based on Bible prophecy.

[51:35] Al Jazeera Banned, Houthis Strike Back, Germany and France Come to Syria

Trumpet writer Mihailo Zekic brings details on the temporary closure of Al Jazeera in the West Bank by the Palestinian Authority after it gave critical coverage of the PA’s Jenin campaign against Hamas. This is the second time within a month that the PA has done this. Israel recently shuttered the news organization in Israel proper and Ramallah. Why is the PA suddenly doing what Israel wants? Psalm 83 provides an answer. The German and French foreign ministers are coming to Damascus to discuss increased political cooperation. Houthis have fired a missile and a drone into Israeli airspace as a response to Israel’s strike against Yemen.
