[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.

[14:45] Trumpet Daily Interview: Gadi Taub, Part 3 (39 minutes) In Part 3 of the interview, Israeli historian and political commentator Gadi Taub discusses his advice to young people and teachers, the art of good conversation, the importance of studying history and reading good books, and the impact his father had on his life. [53:00] WorldWatch (3 minutes)

[18:00] Trumpet Daily Interview: Gadi Taub, Part 2 (41 minutes) Part 2 of the interview with Israeli historian and political commentator Gadi Taub covers his impressions from visiting the Herbert W. Armstrong College campus, his views on Israel’s relationship with Germany, and the positives and negatives of academia.

[00:30] Britain’s Sickness (43 minutes) Pro-Palestinian protests, London mobs supporting the Iranian regime, police-enforced hate speech laws, widespread abortions, broken families—this is the sad reality in the United Kingdom today. The U.S. and Britain are following the path to national suicide. [43:00] A New Iran Deal? (12 minutes) Iran and the U.S. are scheduled to hold nuclear talks on Friday, potentially negotiating a new Iran deal. President Donald Trump has high hopes for the deal, but Iran historically has used nuclear talks to string America along while pursuing its nuclear ambitions.

[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. False Christianity provides no real answers to man’s problems. [45:00] Prophecy in Panama (10 minutes) Panama’s highest court has annulled the contract that allowed China to control two ports at either end of the Panama Canal. Will the U.S. temporarily regain control of this essential sea gate?

[00:30] Murder in Edmond, OK (25 minutes) A Christian woman was murdered by her adopted son in an upscale neighborhood across the street from Herbert W. Armstrong College. Why does God allow this violence? [25:00] Fulton County Rigging Exposed (10 minutes) The FBI has recovered ballots and other documents from Fulton County, Georgia, that prove the 2020 presidential election was rigged. [35:00] Mobocracy in Minneapolis (17 minutes) America’s founders created our government structure to prevent a loud, violent minority from dictating how the country should be run. The anti-ICE riots in Minneapolis show what America will look like if the mobocracy wins. [52:15] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Nuclear Anxiety Is Back—or Is It? (55 minutes) Many Hollywood movies and TV shows attempt to illustrate the gut-wrenching realities of nuclear war. But do most Americans fear the imminent threat of nuclear warfare? Bible prophecy shows that we must take this threat seriously because the unthinkable will happen.

[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. As other nations form anti-American alliances, the U.S. is consumed with arrogance and overconfidence. [40:00] Is America Close to God? (12 minutes) Many Americans believe our nation has God’s support, but the Bible reveals the shallowness of today’s false religions. [52:00] Birds! (3 minutes)

[00:30] Trump Backs Down in Minneapolis (28 minutes) After Minneapolis anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti’s death, President Donald Trump has backed down on his strong stance in Minnesota. Trump now says he is on a “similar wavelength” to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. [28:00] Reviving the European Beast Power (27 minutes) The European Union just signed another huge trade deal with India. International trade blocks are aligning to freeze the U.S. out of world trade.

[00:30] The Beginning of Civil War (55 minutes) Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis escalated over the weekend after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed armed protester Alex Pretti. The well-organized protests are drawing attention away from the massive financial fraud and corruption uncovered at the highest levels of Minnesota’s government—and from the vision Celtic Throne brought to the city last week.

[00:30] Awakening the German Beast (52 minutes) President Donald’s Trump’s Board of Peace is sowing the seeds of the next world war. The World Economic Forum in Davos is exposing the divisions between world powers and highlighting Germany’s determination to take charge of European security. Man-made peace plans will never work because their authors do not follow God’s way to peace. [52:20] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Peace Derangement Syndrome (55 minutes) President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is now official. This is a modern-day Neville Chamberlain moment—a spectacle of delusion based on a shortsighted view of world history and human nature. Bible prophecy reveals the inevitable end of man’s peace initiatives.

[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. Greenland and the Minneapolis riots are distractions from the critical danger posed by a powerful German war machine alienated from America. What will the world look like a year from now?

[00:30] A World on the Brink (55 minutes) Bible prophecy predicts an international trade bloc that will freeze the United States out of world trade. Events this weekend took a significant step toward the fulfillment of this prophecy.

[00:30] Destroying the Work (25 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong built a worldwide work that preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God as a “witness unto all nations.” On Jan. 16, 1986, Mr. Armstrong died. Tragically, his successors wasted no time in dismantling his entire work. Forty years later, where is the work of Herbert Armstrong? [26:00] Celtic Throne Tour (11 minutes) Celtic Throne is on tour through the American Midwest. This is the first time the troupe has toured and performed around January 16. [37:00] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [41:00] Tribute to Mr Armstrong (26 minutes) Following Mr. Armstrong’s death on Jan. 16, 1986, the Worldwide Church of God prepared a special tribute program. The program aired on the weekend of Jan. 25-26, 1986 and brought in a record number of requests for Mr. Armstrong’s greatest book, Mystery of the Ages.

[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. Iran is killing its own people to put down anti-government protests, angry women are leading Minneapolis anti-ICE riots, and Israel and Germany have signed a security pact. The Trumpet and its predecessor, the Plain Truth, have been proclaiming the ultimate outcome of these events for decades.

[00:30] Golden Age of War (28 minutes) As the 40-year anniversary of Satan being cast down nears, the devil is supercharging the air with war, hatred and violence. Instead of a golden age of peace, we are entering an age of war. [28:00] The Bible Is Jesus Christ in Print (28 minutes) Jesus Christ is the personal Word of God. The Bible is that same Word of God in print. Christ’s instructions in the Gospels and the example of Herbert W. Armstrong reveal what a true Christian must do to understand the Holy Scriptures.

[00:30] A World in Realignment (30 minutes) As the U.S. withdraws from the international scene, the European Union steps into the gap. For decades, Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied the seventh and last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire. We are watching that resurrection rise and other prophesied alliances form while President Donald Trump talks about world peace. [30:30] The Most Important Book Since the Bible (27 minutes)

[00:30] Is Iran’s Regime Finished? (55 minutes) Protests are raging in Iran, threatening the Islamic regime led by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini. Is this building toward a momentous event around the 40th anniversary of Herbert W. Armstrong’s death?

[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. This level of self-reliance is dangerous. God allowed President Trump to return to the presidency to give America one last chance to repent. Meanwhile, German defense spending is booming as European leaders talk publicly about the death of NATO. [50:45] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] The New George Floyd? (55 minutes) Minneapolis has descended into chaos again after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman who tried to run him over. The left is turning this into another George Floyd moment. A few weeks ago, conservative media lauded America’s turn toward religion, but this apparent religious revival is not helping Americans get along.

[00:30] Europe Seeks a Strong Leader (33 minutes) While the U.S. deals with a major corruption scandal in Minnesota, European leaders are divided over the U.S.’s Venezuela takeover.

[00:30] Communism and Anti-Semitism in New York (52 minutes) New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani took his oath of office yesterday with his hand on the Koran. One of the proud Democratic Socialist’s first acts was erasing an executive order recognizing anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism. During a meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Trump will be the first non-Israeli to receive the Israel Prize. Despite America’s history of supporting Israel, prophecy shows that Israel ultimately will turn to Germany for help. [52:50] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Germany’s Manufactured Crises (32 minutes) As 2026 begins, one of the most important prophetic trends to watch is Germany’s remilitarization. The Trumpet and its predecessor, the Plain Truth, have been warning of Germany’s military rise for decades. [32:00] Exposing Myths About Jesus Christ (23 minutes) Does traditional Christianity know the truth about its namesake, Jesus Christ? The Bible exposes dozens of accepted myths about the Son of God.

[00:30] Fake Peace (21 minutes) After a phone call with Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Trump said Russia “wants to see Ukraine succeed.” This comes right after another brutal bombing of Kyiv by Russia. Meanwhile, ahead of a meeting with President Trump’s team in Miami, Russia’s lead negotiator is showing how serious he is about pursuing peace by posting pictures of his windsurfing experience. [22:00] Somali Fraudsters (18 minutes) Somali immigrants have bilked billions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers in fraud schemes in Minneapolis. Part of the scheme was set up by Somali Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who introduced legislation at the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns that enabled day-care centers and meal halls to take in millions of dollars’ worth of government funding. [40:00] The Danger in Christmas (25 minutes)

[00:30] The Right Kind of Revival (51 minutes) Traditional Christianity is essentially whatever you want it to be. But though some Americans are returning to church, is America actually getting closer to God? The Bible shows what the right kind of religious revival looks like. [51:15] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Christian Music and Christmas—True Religious Revival? (55 minutes) AP thinks Christian music’s popularity proves America is experiencing a religious revival. But Christian churches—Protestant and Catholic alike—do not preach the truth of the Bible. Those celebrating Christmas today may feel very religious, but true religion is based on God’s Word and not human tradition.

[00:30] Is Human Nature Good? (55 minutes) The January-February 2026 Royal Vision issue is a special tribute to Herbert W. Armstrong, commemorating the 40th anniversary of his death. In a world where everyone believes they are good, why is there so much evil? Mr. Armstrong proclaimed the biblical answer to this paradox of human nature.

[00:30] Is America Experiencing a Holy Awakening? (56 minutes) Fulton County has finally admitted that the 2020 election was rigged, but the U.S. news cycle is focused on Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes segment and the success of the new David movie. Republican media outlets are proclaiming religious myths while nations like Germany arm for war.

[00:30] Re-Christianizing America? (40 minutes) Turning Point USA’s America Fest projected a message of righteousness, religion and unity, but the convention exposed the deep division in the MAGA movement. Just talking about God will not solve our national or individual problems. [40:00] Stop, in the Name of God (15 minutes) Charlie Kirk’s new book encourages people to keep the Sabbath—but only when it’s convenient. That is not true Sabbath-keeping.

[00:30] The Prince of Peace (52 minutes) President Donald Trump believes he is the greatest peacemaker in history. But trusting in human solutions and promises inevitably leads to war. Only God can bring peace to the world. [52:10] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] American Arrogance (56 minutes) President Donald Trump’s speeches are filled with self-congratulatory rhetoric and predictions of an endless future of American prosperity. Midterm elections, stimulus checks, the economy, religious revival and many other distractions in 2026 are set to steal Americans’ attention from Bible prophecies being fulfilled worldwide, especially in the heart of Europe. Germany is preparing for war while America is preparing for peace.

[00:30] He Was Right (55 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong was right about Germany. History and prophecy prove that a remilitarized Germany preparing for war poses an extreme threat to the world. Though the media is finally reporting Germany’s race to rearm, no one seems concerned. Even Israel is supporting the supposedly pacifist nation's campaign for rearmament, while Holocaust history is somehow drawing Israel closer to its recent enemy.

[00:30] The New German War Machine (55 minutes) German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated this weekend that “Pax Americana” is over, and Europe can no longer rely on the U.S. for defense. Germany’s young people are now preparing for the reality of war. A PBS documentary aired in November analyzed the rise of German nationalism and militarism, trends that the Plain Truth and Trumpet magazines have been warning about since the end of World War II.

[00:30] A Weekend of Bloody Crimes (55 minutes) Violent murders dominated the news cycle this weekend—an anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Australia, a shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island, a son who murdered his famous parents in Los Angeles, and a Syrian government agent who killed two U.S. servicemen and an American translator in Syria. Dialogue about peace is at fever pitch right now, but our world is full of bloody crimes. Is this God’s world?

[00:30] Will AI Save the World? (34 minutes) The architects of artificial intelligence think technology will save the world, but they don’t realize that their creation is fatally flawed. [34:00] The Deadly Toll of the COVID ‘Cure’ (10 minutes) Five years ago, the media and medical establishment told you that you would die if you didn’t get vaccinated. Now the Atlantic admits that children and adults died because of coronavirus vaccinations. Why has it taken so long to admit the deadly toll of the COVID “cure”? [44:00] Trump’s Historic Presidency (8 minutes) President Donald Trump has done some great things for America, but Americans are looking to him instead of God for solutions. [52:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Stop in the Name of God (56 minutes) Charlie Kirk’s last book, Stop in the Name of God, encourages everyone to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. God commanded Sabbath observance thousands of years ago, but most of mankind rejects God’s authority, government and laws. True Christians must choose to obey all of God’s commandments, including the Sabbath day.

[00:30] The Way of Jeroboam (45 minutes) George Washington and Abraham Lincoln gave God credit for their victories. President Donald Trump praises himself. Though the president has a lot of leadership qualities that God has used to save America temporarily, the resurgence will only be temporary if America does not repent in humility. [45:00] Rely on God for Education (10 minutes) Unrestricted access to technology can be extremely dangerous, especially for young people. Break free from technology addiction and fill your mind with godly education.

[00:30] Has Donald Trump Stopped World War III? (55 minutes) President Donald Trump believes he has prevented World War III, but he is also calling for Europe to remilitarize under a strong leader, alienating U.S. allies, and cozying up to nations that hate us. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is fawning over Qatar, and Israel is reaching out to its historical enemy, Germany, for protection. Bible prophecy shows that these foreign-policy decisions will have deadly consequences.

[00:30] Trump’s New National Security Strategy Enrages Europe (56 minutes) The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy openly criticizes Europe’s internal weaknesses and indicates the U.S.’s global alliances are shifting. The document encourages Europe to increase its military power so that it can stand on its own without American backing. Students of Bible prophecy and history should recognize the serious danger behind this line of thinking, as Herbert W. Armstrong warned for decades. Meanwhile, as America turns inward, Israel is looking to Germany for protection.

[00:30] January 6 Pipe-Bomber Arrested (28 minutes) After nearly five years, the January 6 pipe-bomber was finally arrested yesterday. The big question is: Why did it take so long? The media has suggested since Jan. 6, 2021, that the pipe-bomber was a right-wing, white supremacist, but it turns out the bomber was a black man who supported left-wing causes. [28:00] A Look Back at the Royal Wedding (24 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong called Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s 1981 wedding “Britain’s last gasp of joy and splendor.” Successful marriages and families must be based on biblical principles and family roles. [52:00] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] The Great Infantilization of America (36 minutes) American society is a perfect picture of Isaiah 3:4-5—a nation filled with adults behaving like overgrown children. Battling obesity with drugs instead of lifestyle changes is one example of this childish reasoning. [36:00] What Is the Monarchy For? (20 minutes) The UK media and public have lost faith in the British monarchy. These modern descendants of King David do not follow the principles of leadership described in the Bible.

[00:30] Who Is Responsible for the Temporary Resurgence? (30 minutes) President Donald Trump is very proud of himself for “saving America” and battling the fake news media despite his age. But the president is causing Americans to look to him instead of God. [30:00] Bringing Afghanistan to America (25 minutes) Liberal immigration policies have brought curses on our nation.

[00:30] ‘The New German War Machine’ (55 minutes) The Atlantic spotlighted “The New German War Machine” yesterday, a headline straight out of Bible prophecy. The Trumpet and its predecessor, the Plain Truth, have warned about a revived German military machine for nearly 100 years. As world leaders talk nonstop about peace, Germany is arming for war.

The Pope’s Peacemaking Tour [00:30] Pope’s Peacemaker Tour (35 minutes) American Pope Leo is taking a page out of President Trump’s peacemaking manual on his first trip abroad to Turkey and Lebanon. History proves that the Catholic Church will not bring world peace. [35:00] Protecting the Drug Smugglers (20 minutes) The radical left is very upset that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued a kill order against drug smugglers in the Caribbean. This story is drawing media attention away from the radicalized Afghan immigrant who shot two National Guard members in D.C. last week.
