Why did President Trump fly home in the old armored jet with the shades lowered?
Today's show, we cover all the news of the day, but we start with something that one of our listeners wrote in at the end of the first hour and said, my stomach is in my throat. I hadn't thought about any of these things. Trump. facing his own mortality. And what he said in the last few days is different than what he has said before. Um, and I explain it and explain also what he's actually trying to do in Iran started on this yesterday, but it's becoming more and more clear. And if you understand these few things about Donald Trump and about what's happening, uh, with the negotiations, um, you'll feel better. You'll feel better and you won't be so stressed. Also, Smithsonian is rewriting our history and I take you through what that means.
And, you know, there's been a few countries that have done it before in the past and it doesn't work out well. And Chasing Embers is out. It's the audio book of the dystopian book that was a New York Times bestseller a couple of summers ago. We made it into an audio book and it is a really good, really good acted out audio book. In fact, we're I'm telling the story today that a lot of the people that were involved, we had to produce it out in Los Angeles, and there were actors that were involved, and people that were in the control room and everything else, and nobody wanted to do a Glenn Beck audiobook. And they were kind of like, yeah, just don't put my name on it. By the end, all of them were fans, and all of them were like, I'm proud to have done this.
It's a great story that can appeal to anybody. I mean, believe me. It's happening to the actors and actresses and the board ops and the techs in Los Angeles. It'll appeal to anybody. And it's a great audio book that will help you teach your kids that there is exciting things happening in books they should read and the importance of history and what might be coming if we don't pay attention to that. It's a dystopian, futuristic thriller. For young adults, it's out today. It's called Chasing Embers. Go get it now, wherever you get your audio.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
You know, in history, there have been a couple of people that have been world leaders that have made peace with their death. And Martin Luther King was one of them. I may not join you on the mountaintop. I may not get there with you. And Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln knew he was going to die and made peace with it. He had dreams and everything else. He just didn't tell his wife about it, but he wrote about it and he talked about it more obliquely. Donald Trump said something yesterday. And remember, Donald Trump is a guy, if you know anything about him, he speaks things into reality. He does not say things without the understanding of manifesting it. Okay. Okay. Like, he never will talk to you about an assassination attempt.
He will not talk to you about it. However, lately, he's been saying things like he said yesterday. I want you to listen to this.
Do you know why they had us close our window blinds? That was... Well, yeah, because you're... probably on a dangerous slate because of the sleazebags that we have to deal with. The same thing that Iran was possibly thinking, trying to do. Well, I mean, if they asked you to close your windows, probably they'd feel that way. They didn't ask me to close mine, but if they did, I would have done it. Now, these are sick people. So I could see something like that. I didn't know they did that, but I could see something like that.
Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against Air Force One?
Well, I haven't read all the time. I'm number one on their list before you. But if I go, you go, right? So perhaps someday you want to change professions.
Now, he also said yesterday, these things like threats of the president, they usually don't work out well. And the way he said it, in a way, seemed like he was making peace with that. And I will tell you, I've lived with credible threats for a long time. And some of them have just been, it's like now, it's just always in the background.
