Summary

Glenn starts the show by discussing the latest in America’s conflict with Iran and why Iran remains a dangerous threat to the West. Glenn also gives the difference between Iran and North Korea, as Glenn argues that President Trump is attempting to do exactly what needs to be done to end the Iran threat. Glenn also tells the story of how President Trump traveled to Turkey in a fancy new plane, but due to the Iranian threat near the border, Trump had to fly back in an old armored jet with the shades lowered. Glenn discusses the downfall of the once-informative Smithsonian Museum, which he claims has now been captured by self-loathing revisionism that turns American heroes into villains and core values into racial flaws. Glenn Beck producer and co-author of "Chasing Embers" Mikayla Hedrick joins to discuss the release of the audiobook and the production behind it. Graham Platner has officially dropped out of the Maine Senate race after a sexual assault accusation, and Glenn discusses how Democrats manipulate elections with superdelegates to hand-select candidates for critical elections.
