[00:30] Obama 2.0 (40 minutes) The memorandum of understanding exposes America’s weakness. The agreement with Iran doesn’t cover ballistic missiles or terrorism and contains no enforcement mechanisms to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran will also be able to access a $300 billion slush fund organized by the U.S. and backed by Gulf states. Is this any better than the JCPOA? [40:45] Personal Appearance Campaign (Charlotte, NC) (15 minutes)

[00:30] America Surrenders to Iran and Betrays Israel (42 minutes) Leaked text of an apparent draft of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding reveals massive U.S. concessions in exchange for Iran playing nice. The MOU is essentially a 60-day ceasefire to give the two countries time to formulate a real deal. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has been tearing into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for striking at Hezbollah, an internationally recognized terrorist organization. [42:30] Herbert W. Armstrong’s Prayer Rock (13 minutes)

[00:30] Another Disastrous Iran Deal (55 minutes) The U.S. and Iran have agreed on a memorandum of understanding to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. America’s blind negotiators misguidedly believe they are dealing with “very rational people” who want the best for Iran. President Donald Trump’s Iran deal is not that different from former President Barack Obama’s disastrous Iran deal. America’s pride will lead to its destruction.

[00:30] Our Violent Delights (46 minutes) This weekend was the ultimate contrast of God's culture versus Satan's culture. The FIFA World Cup, NBA championship, Stanley Cup and UFC 250 displayed celebrity worship, pleasure-seeking madness and violence. At the same time, North Carolina enjoyed Celtic Throne II and the Personal Appearance Campaign. [46:30] Herbert W. Armstrong Centennial, Part 1 (9 minutes)

[00:30] Trump’s JCPOA (27 minutes) President Donald Trump has been saying the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran for five months. Iran is still fighting because America is weak, and Trump’s deal is a repeat of the disastrous JCPOA. America doesn’t understand that Iran is willing to sacrifice anything to attain its goals. [27:00] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [31:00] Study Like Herbert W. Armstrong (26 minutes)

[00:30] Violence in Our Streets (16 minutes) The intense violence in today’s world should make us question if we are emotionally prepared for what is coming. [16:00] Tired of Netanyahu? (24 minutes) President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might not run for office again, contrary to all evidence. Trump then called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan his “very good friend” yesterday—although Erdoğan is rabidly anti-Israel and calls Netanyahu “the butcher of Gaza.” Is Trump tiring of Netanyahu? [39:45] Collapse of Modern Education (15 minutes)

[00:30] The Modern Times of the Judges (55 minutes) Belfast has erupted into riots following the attempted beheading on Monday night. At the same time, Western nations, including Northern Ireland, celebrate pride month. Our national lawlessness is an affront to the living God.

[00:30] The American Spectacle (18 minutes) The NBA Finals game last night was a spectacle of American division. [18:30] A Chain of Bloody Crimes (37 minutes) A Somali migrant in Northern Ireland tried to behead a man in the street. A schoolgirl was arrested for stabbing three people at a Manchester academy. In the Israel-Iran war, Iran is the knife-wielding terrorist, and Israel is the victim being criticized for defending itself. The Bible prophesies that in the end time, our nations will be “full of bloody crimes.” But it also shows how to have real joy in these dangerous times.

[00:30] Fantasy World (55 minutes) California’s officials are using helicopters to fly ballots to voting centers while still insisting that it will take weeks to count the votes. President Donald Trump stormed out of a Meet the Press interview after interviewer Kristen Welker refused to admit that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Media coverage of these and other recent events demonstrate that the media is living in a fantasy world filled with the spirit of “highmindedness” that the Apostle Paul warned would saturate the end time.

[00:30] Election Rigging (14 minutes) California’s drawn-out primary elections demonstrate how necessary the SAVE America Act is. But the Senate can’t agree on passing a bill that would require Americans to prove who they are before they vote for our leaders. [14:00] Trump: A Second Obama? (17 minutes) Veteran journalist Melanie Phillips questions whether President Donald Trump’s Iran policy puts him in the same category as former President Barack Obama. [31:30] D-Day Anniversary (7 minutes) Eighty-two years on from D-Day, war again threatens the world. [38:00] Key of David: ‘Your Daily Pilgrimage’ (15 minutes) [53:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] ‘Pride Month’ (24 minutes) America is celebrating its sins during “Pride Month,” but the Bible shows the end result of the wickedness our society applauds. [24:30] Race Ideology (15 minutes) Henry Nowak’s murder exposes UK police’s obsession with race ideology. [39:45] California Curses (16 minutes) The legacy media is warning that it may take weeks to count California’s midterm primary election votes. The system is rigged.

[00:30] George Floyd in Reverse (36 minutes) Newly released police bodycam footage has ignited a public outcry about the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in December 2025. Nowak died from multiple stab wounds after UK police arrested him instead of the Sikh man who stabbed him. Officers prioritized the murderer’s lie that Nowak used a racial slur over the teenager’s pleas that he had been stabbed by his accuser. Nowak’s case is a direct inversion of the George Floyd case, which created many of the racial bias policies that police officers now follow. Will anything change after this new tragedy? [35:55] Study Like Mr. Armstrong (19 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong set a remarkable example of deep, life-changing Bible study.

[00:30] Ceasefire—but at What Cost? (45 minutes) President Donald Trump is forcing Israel to back down in Lebanon, pinpointing the conflict as the reason for Iran’s slowness to make a deal. The president’s reportedly profane phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demonstrates the strained relationship between these two leaders. [45:00] National Repentance (10 minutes) America’s leaders are celebrating national religious revival during America’s 250th anniversary but ignoring the dozens of Bible verses that call for individual repentance and change. Repentance is not a popular message, but it is the only way to solve our problems.

[00:30] Iran Update (11 minutes) The U.S. and Iran are back to firing at each other as they try to negotiate a deal. Negotiating with terrorists will never lead to peace. [11:00] America Is Proud of Its Filth (14 minutes) As the U.S. enters so-called Pride Month, a quick look at societal and entertainment trends shows the kind of filth America is proud of. [25:30] The Key of David: ‘The Infinitesimal Start of God’s Worldwide Work’ (28 minutes)

[00:30] The U.S.’s Partisan Birthday (55 minutes) America’s 250th birthday celebrations are creating a partisan divide. The infighting over what should be a nonpolitical commemoration of our national history and accomplishments is a perfect snapshot of America today. At the same time, U.S. and Iran negotiators have agreed on a memorandum of understanding, which reopens the Strait of Hormuz but doesn’t determine the future of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

[00:30] Remembering the Past (26 minutes) In a world of political upheaval and escalating crises, becoming grounded in Church history and God’s truth is critically important. [26:45] The Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ: ‘Teach Us to Pray’ (29 minutes)

[00:30] This Is Not the Founders’ America (38 minutes) America celebrates its 250th birthday this summer—while violent crimes fill our cities, President Trump faces threats against his life, and the UFC plans an event on the White House lawn. The president’s capitulation to Iran may cost our nation $24 billion in exchange for a “memorandum of understanding” from the terrorist nation. What has happened to America? [38:00] Time Traveling Through History (8 minutes) Studying history and visiting historical sites teaches valuable lessons we can apply today. [46:10] The Story of America: John Adams (12 minutes)

[00:30] Europe Loves Nukes (55 minutes) Europe is seeking more nuclear weapons. What will a powerful, nuclear-armed Europe mean for the world? The Bible describes the terrible impact nuclear weapons will have on our nations very soon.

[00:30] Memorial Day (15 minutes) The U.S. celebrates Memorial Day today, remembering the sacrifices of our soldiers. What are Americans willing to fight for today? [15:00] Remembering Herbert W. Armstrong (40 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong began his work for God in small-town Oregon. His life teaches important lessons about drive and ambition for God.

[00:30] The End of NATO? (30 minutes) At a NATO summit in Sweden, Secretary of State Marco Rubio encouraged European nations to become stronger so that the alliance benefits everyone. But as the connection between the U.S. and its apparent NATO allies weakens due to the conflict with Iran and other complications, what’s next for the trans-Atlantic relationship? [30:50] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [35:00] The Key of David: ‘What Is God’s College Like?’ (24 minutes)

[00:30] As the World Turns (35 minutes) Iran is rebuilding faster than expected, Israel’s relationship with the United States is strained, and President Trump might do in Cuba what he did in Venezuela. In the midst of all this news, the U.S. is failing to educate future generations. Test scores continue to plummet even as spending on education increases. What’s the missing dimension in education? [35:15] Armstrong College 25-Year Reunion Video (20 minutes)

[00:30] Backing Out of Europe (41 minutes) America’s plan to pull troops out of Europe will backfire. The trajectory of events in Europe is leading inexorably to the united European superstate prophesied in your Bible. [41:00] Laws of Radiant Health (14 minutes) Ozempic culture discourages following God’s simple laws of health.

What is the purpose of education? Is education just about finding a good-paying job? True education is about far more than material knowledge—it’s about eternity! Herbert W. Armstrong said that “real conversion is education.” What is the plain truth about education that so many people are missing?

[00:30] ‘Rededicate 250’ (25 minutes) Preachers from around America gathered in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to rededicate America to God. Hardly anyone showed up to the event, including some of the most prominent speakers who opted instead to send in prerecorded video messages. What was missing from the rededication ceremony? [25:00] Commencement Address 2026 (30 minutes)

[00:30] Rededicating America to God (54 minutes) The “Rededicate 250” event this weekend will provide a lot of feel-good talk about religion and “a new birth of faith and freedom” in America—but no repentance. While U.S. leadership praises our nation’s unity and spirituality, the U.S. economy is in shambles, our city streets are overrun with homeless drug addicts, and international headlines demonstrate the volatile state of the rest of the world. God’s true educational system can solve all these problems. [54:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Trump in China (38 minutes) President Donald Trump and Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping met in Beijing this week, projecting friendliness despite the divisions and disagreements between the two countries. At the same time, CIA whistleblower James Erdman testified before Congress about the COVID-19 coverup, which included CIA personnel working with China to hide the virus’s true origins. [38:20] Where Are the Men? (27 minutes) Where have America’s men gone? Sixteen percent of prime-age workingmen in America are not working; and in many households, the wife is the primary breadwinner. Living by God’s Bible-based marriage and family roles is the only way to true happiness.

[00:30] America’s Debt Crisis (12 minutes) In this 250th year of America, our nation is broke because of out-of-control debt. [12:15] Anti-Israel Blood Libel (19 minutes) The New York Times promoted an unsubstantiated, anti-Israel propaganda piece about Israeli abuse of Palestinian prisoners. A day later, the Daily Mail publicized a disturbing, evidence-based report about Hamas’s murderous sexual crimes against Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Who are the real criminals here? [31:30] The Key of David: ‘Judah’s Deadly Wound’ (27 minutes)

[00:30] We’re All Las Vegas (36 minutes) The U.S. national debt has grown larger than our economy for the first time since World War II. At the same time, marijuana use, sports betting and pornography consumption have skyrocketed due to increased availability and lax laws. As Axios put it, “America is quickly becoming Sin Nation.” [36:00] What’s Next for Iran? (19 minutes) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the future of the war with Iran during a 60 Minutes interview. A new report about the massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, exposes just how sin-sick this world is.

[00:30] Germany Rises (33 minutes) In yet another prophetic headline, the Telegraph warns “Europe’s Sleeping Giant Rearms.” Laid-off German car mechanics are now making weapons as the nation rushes to arm 80,000 extra soldiers. Meanwhile, Putin is inviting Germany to openly turn against Donald Trump’s America. The prophecies of your Bible and the warnings of Herbert W. Armstrong are rapidly being fulfilled. [34:00] Key of David: Germany in Prophecy (25 minutes)

[00:30] Prophecy Comes Alive in Europe (28 minutes) Nigel Farage and the Reform Party are winning in UK local elections. Populism is surging across Europe, and European nations are seeking to separate from reliance on the U.S. military for defense. [28:00] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [31:50] Key of David: Why America Put Troops in Germany (28 minutes)

[00:30] Met Gala Madness (34 minutes) America is talking a lot about religion right now, but the Met Gala provided a bizarre snapshot of a nation where “the transgressors are come to the full.” Also, former President Barack Obama is criticizing President Donald Trump and Republicans for not following the rule of law—conveniently ignoring his own blatant disregard for the Constitution. [34:30] Iran War Update (21 minutes) The U.S. is apparently close to a deal with Iran, exposing America’s broken will. Meanwhile, Israel and Germany are drawing closer together.

[00:30] Germany Rises—America Falls (52 minutes) Germany’s swift return to European dominance should be the world’s No. 1 headline. Europe is pivoting away from relying on the U.S. for defense, and Germany plans to be Europe’s strongest military again as soon as possible. President Donald Trump’s foreign-policy decisions and especially the war in Iran are pushing Europe to unite and setting the stage for a massive economic siege against America.

[00:30] The Last Hour (55 minutes) Today is the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the last hour. May 8 is the 81st anniversary of V-E Day, and the Guardian reports that Germany will soon be “the leading European military power” again. Knowing how short time is and how swiftly prophetic events are moving, what kind of lives should we be living?

[00:30] Youth Culture (47 minutes) A late-night party at Lake Arcadia, Oklahoma—less than 10 miles from the Trumpet’s headquarters campus—turned into tragedy last night as two gunmen opened fire on the throng of young adults. Other recent headlines expose the terrible influences destroying the minds and lives of this generation of unrestrained young people. [47:00] Trump vs. Europe (8 minutes) German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has softened his strong anti-Trump rhetoric after the U.S. decided to pull 5,000 troops from Germany.

[00:30] Trump vs. Europe (51 minutes) President Donald Trump is threatening to pull U.S. troops from European countries like Germany, Italy and Spain. How quickly America has forgotten the lessons of World War II. [51:10] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Humility vs. Vanity (44 minutes) President Donald Trump and other American leaders are blinded by pride and vanity in many of their foreign and domestic policy decisions. George Washington’s first inaugural address teaches a profound lesson about humility. [44:30] The Kingdom’s Court (11 minutes) The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional redistricting map, ending gerrymandering to favor racial minorities. Leftist media outlets are calling this ruling “voter suppression,” though gerrymandered district lines have been suppressing Republican votes for years.

[00:30] Two Kings (22 minutes) A White House X post featured a picture of King Charles and President Trump with the caption “Two Kings." Does the cozy visit between these two heads of state signal a permanent thawing of relations? [22:00] Comey Indicted for ‘86 47’ (33 minutes) The Department of Justice is going after former FBI Director James Comey for a social media post of sea shells—but not for the dozens of other treasonous crimes he is responsible for.

[00:30] Character Assassination (55 minutes) The latest Trump would-be assassin, Cole Allen, published a manifesto echoing the talking points that have been mainstream news networks’ primary message for 10 years: President Donald Trump is a dangerous, racist, pedophile dictator. This third assassination attempt will not cause these networks to repent of their nonstop character assassination.

[00:30] Another Assassination Attempt (55 minutes) A shooter attacked the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, planning to target President Donald Trump and his administration officials. The president called for national unity in the press conference and a 60 Minutes interview after the assassination attempt, but there cannot be true reconciliation without repentance.

[00:30] Trump: Don’t Rush Me! (38 minutes) President Donald Trump seems to think America has all the time in the world to make a deal with Iran, but the Iran war has nearly halved the U.S.’s weapons stockpile and exposed our dangerous reliance on expensive military hardware. Meanwhile, Europe is preparing for war. [38:00] The Great Paradox (13 minutes) The great paradox of our times is that man is capable of dramatic technological advancement but cannot solve his own problems. [51:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Iran’s Pushier New Regime (24 minutes) Iran’s regime has changed—but not for the better. [24:00] Lamentations of Jeremiah (6 minutes) The Lamentations of Jeremiah oratorio debuts at Armstrong Auditorium this Sunday, presenting a sobering warning from the Scriptures. [30:30] Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ: ‘The Finisher of Our Salvation’ (28 minutes)

[00:30] America Reads the Bible (35 minutes) President Donald Trump read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 yesterday as part of the “America Reads the Bible” event, including one of conservatives’ most often misquoted verses. This passage exposes the real problem with America’s leaders and our entire society. [35:00] Who Really Supports the Nazis? (20 minutes) Democrats have said for 10 years that President Trump supports Nazis. Now the Department of Justice has indicted the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center for illicitly funding racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

[00:30] America Reads the Bible? (55 minutes) President Donald Trump is commemorating 250 years of the Bible being “indelibly woven into our national identity and way of life” with the “America Reads the Bible” event this week. But far from promoting biblical values, our nation is embracing a lifestyle of sin. 2 Chronicles 7:14 shows that we must turn from our wicked ways to be blessed by God.

[00:30] Trump’s Uncertain Iran War Strategy (29 minutes) President Donald Trump’s confusing strategy in Iran has focused on narratives instead of facts, alienated allies by lack of communication, functioned on arbitrary timelines, and been punctuated by premature declarations of peace. Meanwhile, “Germany Is Reinventing Itself as a Weapons Factory,” according to the Wall Street Journal—a headline straight out of Bible prophecy. [29:00] Are Psychedelics the Answer? (26 minutes) Violent acts stemming from mental illness are increasing, so President Trump has broadened access to experimental psychedelic drug treatments. Will psychedelics really solve post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental problems? The Bible provides the true answer.

[00:30] Rumors of Wars, Ceasefires and Victories (51 minutes) President Donald Trump takes full credit for ending nine wars, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and establishing a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon—but are these peace deals really permanent? The Bible shows that all of man’s peacemaking strategies will ultimately end in more war. [51:00] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

[00:30] Britain in Peril (55 minutes) As the rest of the world prepares for war, the once mighty military of Great Britain now has more diversity and inclusion groups than working Challenger tanks. Britain has totally lost its will to defend itself or even to prosecute sinister crimes like pedophilia. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is facing a more defiant world as the war with Iran enters its dialogue phase. The Olivet prophecy shows what we must focus on in these dangerous times.

[00:30] Trump-Meloni Rift (56 minutes) President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s formerly cozy relationship has soured after the president’s comments about Pope Leo XIV and the war in Iran. Bible prophecy shows the significance of this fallout centered around the Vatican.

[00:30] Dialogue With Terrorists (33 minutes) U.S. negotiators are excited about the ongoing dialogue with Iran. President Donald Trump’s “siege” on the Strait of Hormuz is applying enormous pressure on Iran and testing America’s will. [33:20] The Olivet Prophecy (22 minutes) Vice President JD Vance (a Catholic) thinks the pope should “stick to matters of morality” and leave foreign policy to President Trump. The Olivet prophecy shows the ultimate outcome of both Pope Leo XIV and the president’s peace efforts.

[00:30] Donald Trump vs. the Pope (55 minutes) Verbal conflict between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV escalated this weekend. The pope said God doesn’t listen to those who wage war and condemned President Trump’s war against Iran, while the president said he is “not a big fan” of the pope because he is “very liberal.” As politicians, religious leaders and media personalities debate whether the war against Iran is justified, what does the Bible teach about war and peace?

[00:30] Artemis II (27 minutes) The Artemis II astronauts should reenter Earth’s atmosphere this evening, concluding a record-breaking moon mission. In a world overwhelmed with distractions, God wants us to look up at the heavens and learn lessons from His space program. [27:20] WorldWatch (3 minutes) [30:20] Key of David Program: ‘Pro-Nazi Election Victory’ (28 minutes)
