Trumpet World

It has been another busy week in world events, and we attempt to cover the major stories.

[00:25] France Falls

The French government collapsed this week, again showing Europe needs strong leadership. Prime Minister Michel Barnier was ousted, leaving Macron in a difficult position. With the economy as a major issue, the political landscape of France is looking eerily similar to that of the French Revolution. Host Richard Palmer discusses this crisis, Mohammed being the most popular baby name in the United Kingdom in 2023, and the dangerous slope of assisted dying.

[16:50] Russian Trolls

South Korea is in shambles after President Yoon declared martial law. Despite the soldiers on the streets, parliament convened in the middle of the night and unanimously voted to overturn it. Jeremiah Jacques discusses the implications of a paragon of democracy having such turmoil and corruption. Also, TikTok has admitted the influence Russia had on the Romanian election through the use of troll accounts. Many accounts were eventually taken down, but it was too late. Russia is trying to resurrect the Soviet empire, and it will use any means necessary.

[39:50] Hunter Pardoned

Despite the media, press secretary and President Biden himself declaring that a pardon for Hunter would not happen, we witnessed the most sweeping pardon perhaps in presidential history. If the Biden crime family is so innocent, why such a convenient and all-encompassing pardon? Andrew Miiller breaks this down on today's show.

[58:21] Syria Update

On Wednesday's show, Mihailo Zekic and Richard Palmer discussed the plain truth behind the Syrian civil war. But much has happened since Wednesday, so Mihailo provides a quick update.

Syria has exploded again, and the fallout will change the Middle East, Europe and the world. Yet too few understand what is happening. Host Richard Palmer sits down with our resident Middle East correspondent to provide an overview of the events and how no matter where you are in the world, they impact you.

We had a clear forecast of Syria’s fate right from the start of the war in 2012. That forecast is based on Bible prophecy that you can prove for yourself. In the second part, Richard Palmer makes plain a major prophecy from Psalm 83 and Daniel 11. It has deadly repercussions as well as a glorious hope.

Europe Still Leaderless

France’s government is on the brink of collapse, the European Parliament approved a new commission by the slimmest margin ever, and a third of Austrians want a strong leader who can bypass inconvenient Democrats. Host Richard Palmer shows why Europe is heading for strongman leadership.

The Mexican Border, Under Control?

The Biden-Harris administration cannot undermine Texas’s efforts to defend its borders, a lower court ruled just before Thanksgiving. That wasn’t the only border news, as President-elect Trump announced tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Andrew Miiller dives into this and the potential repercussions of such drastic tariff threats.

An ICBM has been fired in anger for the first time. The International Criminal Court has gone after a democratic leader for the first time. We have a slightly different format to deal with this unprecedented week.

[00:30] Russia Issues a Warning Shot

For the first time, it seems ICBMs have been used in warfare. The missiles did not carry nuclear warheads as they were designed to do, but the impact was felt around the globe. By firing ICBMs, Russia sent a strong message that they mean business and nuclear war could be around the corner. Jeremiah Jacques discusses this development, as well as China sabotaging Europe's underwater cables again.

[25:40] Biden Lost in the Jungle?

It was a big week for international gatherings, and once again, President Biden made America look weak by missing photos and wandering into the jungle. China's and Latin America's friendship grew, bypassing America. Andrew Miiller explains how this could lead to a trade war.
"America Is Being Besieged Economically"

[39:28] ICC Slams the Gavel on Bibi

We went live when the news broke regarding the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Mihailo Zekic and Richard Palmer discuss the implications of this and what it means moving forward.
"ICC Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu"

China Owns Australia
China has slowly but effectively bought up Australia. By taking over Aussie energy companies and ports, private Chinese companies have made the land down under beholden to the Chinese Communist Party. China is also strategically circling Australia and its vital trade lines through the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. More and more, Australia is at the mercy of the CCP.

Isaiah’s End-Time Vision

Jews were hunted on the streets of Amsterdam last week. As Donald Trump returns and tries to reform Israel’s government, the return of pogroms is an ominous sign of the danger rising around the world.

[00:30] Amsterdam’s Pogrom

Europe is great at pointing fingers, but when the problem is on their own soil, they seem to be blind. Host Richard Palmer highlights this as he discusses the pogroms rampaging through Amsterdam. How could this be happening again? Also, the leadership void in Germany is impacting the whole of the EU.

[25:00] Donald Trump’s Dream Team

It has only been a week since the historic U.S. election, but Andrew Miiller helps explain the impact of some of President Trump’s policies and appointments. Notably, Elon Musk will cut the government's wasteful spending, or at least that is the hope. Will Trump’s dream team be as effective as it needs to be, or is the "deep state" too entrenched?

[44:11] Peace in the Middle East?

The Middle East is one of the regions most impacted by the U.S. election. Trump is a strong supporter of Israel in words and in actions; he appointed pro-Israel members to his cabinet. Mihailo Zekic breaks down whether or not peace is really coming to the Middle East.

[58:01] Putin’s End?

President Trump vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine War on day one of his presidency. Putin has since ramped up his fight over Ukrainian territory. Is this because he knows an end is inevitable, or are there more nefarious reasons? Jeremiah Jacques also examines South Korea's push for nuclear power.

[00:30] Trump the Businessman

Host Richard Palmer and Asia correspondent Jeremiah Jacques talk about Russia and China’s response to Trump’s return. It has been a while since there has been strength in the White House, but will the Ukraine War be stopped? And what will Trump’s economic plans (tariffs) really mean for the Chinese and U.S. economies?

[00:23] Germany’s Coalition Collapse

Germany’s government has collapsed just days after Donald Trump’s historic return. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister, Christian Lindner, on Wednesday over disagreements on spending. Now the government seems set to fall on January 15. The nation could be without effective leadership for the next year. The Bible prophesies a strong leader will step in and take power in an irregular way. Could the leadership void help this happen?

[25:25] Netanyahu Fires Defense Minister, Reshuffles Israeli Leadership

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is out, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes major changes to his cabinet and coalition. With Gallant gone, the new leadership is more unified behind Netanyahu. With more support at home and abroad thanks to President Trump’s return, what is next for Israel?

[40:15] A New Japan-Europe Defense Pact

Japan and the European Union have signed a sweeping defense agreement that will take effect on January 1. As Russian and Chinese aggression ramps up and America's role in Europe diminishes, the two are looking for new allies. But it wasn’t that long ago that Germany and Japan made a military pact as part of the most devasting war in human history. The world has valid concerns over the repetition of that dark history. Learn how this pact was prophesied in your Bible.

[52:40] Republican Party Nears Clean Sweep in U.S. Elections

Trump won the presidential election in a blowout victory, potentially receiving 312 electoral votes and winning the popular vote by 5 million. The Republican Party also won the Senate majority, with 52 seats in the bag and another three possibly going its way. The House of Representatives is still undecided but has a 93 percent chance of coming under Republican control. At least until the 2026 midterms, it seems there will be a period of decisive action by the Republican Party after nearly two decades of left-wing domination.

Trumpet World dives into the critical news events that leap from the pages of your Bible. In today's special live show, we'll update you with the latest from the U.S. election, focusing on how America is reacting.
