On the campaign trail, Donald Trump called the Iran nuclear deal disastrous and catastrophic. He said one of his top priorities if he became president would be to dismantle the agreement. This week, however, his administration was happy to announce that Iran was complying with the terms of the agreement. President Trump’s administration has come out strong against North Korea and Syria, but hasn’t moved beyond pinprick sanctions when it comes to confronting Iran. On today’s program we discuss why Iran is the rogue state we should be concerned about the most.

Last week, America dropped the “Mother of All Bombs” on Islamic State targets in Afghanistan. The week before, 59 cruise missiles struck a Syrian airstrip belonging to Bashar Assad. While these plot a different course for the United States compared with eight years of inaction, are they a sign that America is back? Charles Krauthammer thinks so. As does Mark Styn. On today’s program, Middle East correspondent Brent Nagtegaal analyzes the recent actions in light of the question, “Is America back?”

On Sunday, the Islamic State came within a whisker of blowing up the pope—not the more famous one, but Pope Tawadros II, leader of the Coptic Christians. The Islamic State is launching the most provocative attacks that it can in order to trigger a holy war. That means Christians in the Middle East, North Africa and beyond are under attack. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer reviews radical Islam’s efforts to trigger a crusade—and examines why the Catholic Church will benefit from such a fight.

Last night, the United States fired dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles at an air base in western Syria. The U.S. air strike was President Trump’s response to the Syrian government’s suspected use of banned chemical weapons earlier this week. When the dust settles from this strike, will the status quo hold for a bit longer in this war-torn region? Or is this the beginning of a prophesied dramatic realignment of Middle East actors?

On Tuesday, Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. Around 80 people died, many foaming at the mouth and writhing with muscle spasms—the symptoms of sarin nerve gas. Assad was supposed to have given up all his chemical weapons; clearly he has not. America’s decision to allow Russia to oversee the dismantling of Syria’s chemical weapons has failed, like so many of the previous administration’s Middle Eastern peace initiatives. And once again, Assad is gassing his own people. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines this abject failure. He also discusses how a change in course by the Trumpet administration could bring a longtime Trumpet forecast to completion. Also on today’s program, Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and the long-term fate of U.S.-China relations.

Britain’s Royal Navy is “being cut to the bone,” Con Coughlin wrote this week. Now 73 years on from D-Day, the greatest amphibious landing in history, many experts question if Britain’s Navy will ever again be capable of even making an amphibious landing. The great defenders of the free world, chiefly Britain and America, are no longer able or willing to pay the price to defend freedom. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we look back at the enormous sacrifice thousands of young men paid on D-Day, and then examine how the freedoms they fought for are in jeopardy today.

It’s easy to hear the truth. God, however, says it’s not enough to just hear His Word—we have to act on it. “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” the Apostle James wrote. Hearing and not doing is one major way people deceive themselves. On this episode of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry discusses how we can become doers of the Word and not hearers only.
