[00:30] Child Exploitation Reveals America’s Sickness (33 minutes) The conservative right says that America is stronger, more religious and closer to God than ever before.

[33:00] Is World War III About to Begin?

[50:52] WorldWatch (5 minutes)

[00:30] War Pessimism (55 minutes) War pessimism has taken over the U.S. media, and the White House is battling to convince the war-weary public that this war is necessary.

[00:30] Europe’s Time Is Now (57 minutes) French President Emmanuel Macron announced this week that France is increasing its nuclear arsenal in cooperation with Germany because “the next half century will be an age of nuclear weaponry.” As the war with Iran rages, tensions at fuel transport choke points like the Strait of Hormuz threaten global gas prices. Is peace possible when there has been no “epic fury” aimed at our national sins?

[00:30] The Board of War Is Hard at Work (55 minutes) Iran retaliated against Operation Epic Fury by attacking American targets in other Middle Eastern nations with missiles and drones.

[00:30] U.S.-Iran Talks Stall (53 minutes) As U.S.-Iran talks reach an impasse, the White House has encouraged nonessential U.S. Embassy personnel in Israel to leave. Is the U.S. about to strike Iran? Or will the anti-Israel voices of Tucker Carlson and other right-wing anti-Semites win the day? [53:15] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] A New Golden Age? (55 minutes) President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was predictably self-congratulatory, centering on the president’s favorite theme: America’s new golden age. Though the president painted a rosy picture of America’s present and future, he committed the critical error of taking credit for what God has done.

[00:30] The Golden Age of Sin (55 minutes) President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address tonight, which will likely be a self-congratulatory speech celebrating a new age of American peace and prosperity. But what is the real state of our union? Our nation is living in the golden age of sin while the rest of the world pursues the golden age of militarization.

[00:30] The Case Against Big Tech (55 minutes) The 19-year-old plaintiff in a landmark California case blames her mental problems on Big Tech’s social media algorithms, but the companies on trial claim her problems were caused by domestic abuse and family trauma. This case and other recent family-related news stories present a perfect snapshot of our present evil world. Generations of breaking God’s marriage and family laws have created a degenerate and miserable society. How should we respond to this sin-drenched world?

[00:30] Yet Another Transgender Mass Shooting (15 minutes) A gender-confused young man killed nine in a school shooting yesterday in remote British Columbia, Canada.

Is America really experiencing a conservative awakening?

[00:30] Temporary Resurgence (14 minutes) President Donald Trump wants to “rededicate America as one nation under God” during a special event on May 17.

[00:30] Peace, Jesus and Nukes (45 minutes) While the U.S. celebrates world peace and Christian revival, Germany is openly discussing getting its own nuclear weapons.

[00:30] 85 Seconds to Midnight (40 minutes) President Donald Trump celebrates his domestic successes while the rest of the world colludes to take down America economically.

[00:30] President Trump at Davos (55 minutes) President Trump has done everything “perfectly,” he said during his Davos speech this morning. Yesterday at a press conference, Trump said, “God is very proud of the job I’ve done.” While he has had tremendous accomplishments, vanity and pride come before the fall. One area where the president’s vanity has caused a massive blind spot is how he deals with Europe, specifically Germany. Trump prides himself on helping make Europe “strong” again. Bible prophecy says that is a dangerous mistake.

[00:30] What Has Trump Accomplished in One Year? (55 minutes) One year into his second official presidential term, President Donald Trump’s most important accomplishment is single-handedly accelerating the development of the prophesied European superstate.

[00:30] Bible Prophecy Being Fulfilled Around January 16 (55 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong died on Jan. 16, 1986. The world today looks very different from his time.

[00:30] Trump: I’m the Only One Who Can Stop Me (50 minutes) President Donald Trump believes that his own mind and morality are the only things that can stop him.
