Trumpet World

For the last month, world news has revolved around whatever comes off the desk of President Donald Trump. As the Trumpet has forecast for years, America’s resurgence under President Trump has begun. The world is asking, What will Mr. Trump do next?

America’s future could be wonderful or catastrophic. It largely depends on what President Trump does in the near future. He has signed countless executive orders, but what is the most important proclamation he should make?

In today’s episode, Trumpet World host Richard Palmer is joined by Trumpet managing editor Joel Hilliker and assistant managing editor Philip Nice. They discuss the latest issue of the Trumpet magazine, which addresses all these questions and more.

It seems every week we can ask, “What has President Trump done now?” He is making big moves and seismically changing the landscape of geopolitics. This week he announced that the U.S. is going to take over Gaza. Is this a clever negotiating tactic, or will Gaza become “the Riviera of the Middle East”? Host Richard Palmer and Mihailo Zekic put this bombshell announcement in its broader context.

While Trump has his eyes on Gaza, Elon Musk and the Trump administration are exposing and cutting funding to USAID. As more is revealed about this organization, it is clear the U.S. was on the brink of collapse. Are these wasteful organizations run by incompetence or a deliberate agenda?

Europe is watching and reacting to the U.S., specifically President Trump. The European Commission is cozying up to China and rearming. Herbert W. Armstrong said for years that Europe will unite. Richard Palmer reminds us to keep watching the German elections.

With Jeremiah Jacques out for the day, Richard Palmer does his best to cover the latest news from Asia. China’s AI, though impressive, may not be as groundbreaking as first thought. Is China harnessing the power of the sun? Also Russia’s cruelty returns to the front page as reports indicate it is executing Ukrainian prisoners of war.

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?

Canada is in crisis. The country is fed up with Justin Trudeau. But can his damage be reversed? Is there a way out for the country?

We have a special guest for today’s show: Maxime Bernier, founder of the People’s Party of Canada. Host Richard Palmer and Mr. Bernier have an in-depth discussion about the future of Canadian politics, Canadian values and what the People’s Party of Canada has to offer.

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.

[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.
