This week was a momentous week in news with President Trump welcoming to the White House Syria’s new leader, a man who formerly had a $10 million bounty on his head for terrorism. The two were laughing together, but what does this mean for the U.S., Syria and the world.
Mihailo Zekic discusses this as well as France welcoming another terrorist, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. He also discusses the recent elections in Iraq and what they mean for the region.
Andrew Miiller updates us on the end of the government shutdown and how money troubles still plague the United States. He also breaks down the new findings from the Epstein files and Barack Obama’s involvement.
Is Russia bankrupt and ready to collapse? This is the narrative being circulated by many, but as Jeremiah Jacques details, it is far from the truth—Putin is powerful and not going anywhere. Also, China put a bounty on two Taiwanese influencers.
Finally, host Richard Palmer updates us on Germany and Europe and how Herbert W. Armstrong’s forecast about Nazi Germany rising from the underground is coming to pass before our eyes.

A Communist Shia Muslim is now the mayor of New York City. For the first time in the city’s history, citizens elected a self-avowed socialist. Conservatives are wondering how this could have happened, even in New York. Andrew Miiller breaks down this shocking news, as well as America’s religious divide. China has a choke hold on American goods, and the United States is unaware.

China also has control of lithium-ion batteries, mature semiconductors and pharmaceutical ingredients—all of which enable China to weaponize crucial global supply chains, giving it major leverage over the U.S. in particular. Jeremiah Jacques explains this, along with Russia’s advances and a typhoon that hit the Philippines.

The German government sees military drone technology as so important that it is even funding failed manufacturers to gain an advantage in the drone arms race. Host Richard Palmer explains this alarming obsession with drones and how Germany’s new National Security Council held its first meeting on Wednesday.

Mihailo Zekic concludes the program by discussing a report that the U.S. will have a military presence in Damascus to monitor Syria-Israel relations, along with other stories about how the U.S. is cozying up to the al Qaeda regime in Syria, setting the stage for the Psalm 83 alliance.

This world is full of injustice. We can see and even feel it daily. Countless institutions have been set up to bring justice, peace and hope to society.

Mihailo Zekic provides a special report from The Hague, Netherlands, the seat of international “justice.” He discusses the history of these organizations and highlights how woefully short they have fallen of solving man’s issues.

Looking to Herbert W. Armstrong's teachings and work as an ambassador for world peace, Mihailo explains the root problem plaguing mankind and how the solution cannot be obtained through any building, nation or organization.

Hurricane Melissa devastated the Caribbean and surrounding areas, showing once again the power of natural disasters. Andrew Miiller provides an update on this, as well as the Trump administration's crackdown on cartels from Venezuela. He also talks about the shameful but barely covered Arctic Frost scandal, which further proves that the Obama-Biden administration was corrupt and sabotaged President Trump.

The majority of the Western world is spewing lies about genocide in Gaza while ignoring actual genocide in Sudan. Mihailo Zekic updates us on the horrific events in Sudan and how the bloodstained sand is literally visible from space.

Russia has advanced further into Ukraine, marking a momentous shift in the war. Povrovsk is a key city that could shape the war’s outcome. Jeremiah Jacques gives us the details of this and the ineffective sanctions placed on Russian oil. Russia’s allies have found loopholes or are simply ignoring the restrictions.

It seems every week we discuss a European political crisis. This week, it is the Dutch. After another tumultuous election in the Netherlands, another coalition is likely pushing Europe toward a strong leader. Host Richard Palmer talks about this and covers some other stories from the UK. Prince Andrew is no longer a prince; he has been stripped of his titles and even his home. The UK accidentally released a migrant rapist and is now conducting a manhunt to get him back into custody and deported.

The United States and Britain in Prophecy

We are back to our regular Friday “Week in Review,” and it has been a busy week.
Host Richard Palmer leads the panel of discussion starting with Andrew Miiller talking about the display of “brotherhood” between King Charles, head of the Church of England, and Pope Leo XIV. What is the problem with Britain cozying up to the Roman Catholic Church? Also, the Church of England appointed the first female archbishop of Canterbury. Will this shake the faith of its followers who believe the Bible?

Jeremiah Jacques discusses Japan’s new conservative prime minister, who is the nation's first female prime minister. This will shift Japan toward the right and toward rearmament. He also talks about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and the reaction to its destruction.

Richard Palmer talks about a relatively unknown tech giant that may impact you if you want to buy a new car. How could one company have such massive sway? It all leads back to China. Europe is taking note, however, despite some European governments being in disarray.

Mihailo Zekic highlights the news from the Middle East, mainly the threats of annexation of the West Bank, even while Vice President JD Vance was in Israel.

Today’s episode is another review, this time focusing on the United States and the Middle East. How big of a deal is the U.S. government shutdown? Andrew Miiller catches us up to speed on this, as well as the “No Kings” protests. Revealing the funding and the hypocrisy behind such large protests is sobering, but it also proves one thing: If President Donald Trump were truly a king, why would he allow the government to be shut down?

Mihailo Zekic, who is now residing in Canada, discusses the struggle for peace in the Middle East and the latest promises, exchanges and expectations from the current deal. Will peace last? If so, for how long?

We are back after a short break where our team traveled to various parts of the world to celebrate God’s commanded Feast of Tabernacles.

In today’s review episode, host Richard Palmer and Asia correspondent Jeremiah Jacques provide a summary of their regions’ major news stories from the past couple of weeks.

In Europe, France’s prime minister yo-yoed back into power after resigning, but not before destabilizing the country. Germany also faced some coalition chaos, but that is less surprising. What will come of an ungovernable Europe? A strongman that will take charge.

In Asia, Jeremiah Jacques gives an update on the Russia-Ukraine war and how North Korea continues to supply soldiers for the front lines. China is also once again bullying its neighbors in the South China Sea while also completing an Arctic trade route that cuts transport time dramatically.

Although Trumpet World's correspondents and editors are traveling around the world to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, we have pieced together a Week in Review highlighting some of the major stories from this week.

Mihailo Zekic discusses America’s Middle East peace plan and how it marks a big shift in negotiations. Hamas is yet to agree, Israel has agreed, and of course President Donald Trump thinks it is the best peace deal. Will this bring eternal peace to the Middle East? Bible prophecy reveals the answer.

Host Richard Palmer draws attention to Bosnia and Herzegovina and how Germany’s foothold is stronger than some may think. He also talks about what Moldova's recent elections indicate for the future.

Jeremiah Jacques talks about the raging Russia-Ukraine war and how Vladimir Putin is drafting more and more soldiers. He discusses a prophecy about how Putin will soon command the largest army ever. In addition, India and Russia conducted war games, and a major earthquake struck the Philippines.
