How does Glenn explain Trump's changing rhetoric toward Iran as a negotiation tactic?
America has always had a fascination with the finished product. We love the hero who crosses the Delaware, the general who wins the war, the president who voluntarily gives up power. But we don't spend as nearly as much time asking the important question. How did he become that man in the first place? Great leaders don't just appear, they are shaped by failure and courage and discipline and the choices they make when nobody's watching. That's what makes Young Washington so timely. It's such a great movie in a moment where America is celebrating her 250th birthday. This film will take you back to the years before the legend when George Washington... was still just learning character that would eventually change the course of history.
It's more than just a historic drama. It's a reminder that liberty is always dependent on men and women who are willing to grow, sacrifice, and answer the call when their moment arrived. That's the message worth hearing today as much as it was 250 years ago. So see Young Washington in theaters now. Tickets available at angel.com slash young washington.
is on.
Boy, every day I think that song is so true. You know, I am Glenn Beck. I am on heroin today, but I am on and I'm glad that you're here. Thank you so much for joining us. I got a lot. I got a lot to say. I can't wait because I've spent some time looking at that 167 page report on the Smithsonian and I was just at the Smithsonian and it's crap. But the good news is, Trump came out, said 167-page report show how out of step with the American story the Smithsonian is. But the New York Times just broke some news in the middle of the night. They got a bunch of experts together, and the experts say, that report just isn't true. There's nothing like that going on in the Smithsonian. And by the way, Make sure you're wearing your mask today and take the sixth booster shot of the vaccine.
Trust us, we're experts. Okay, we'll get into that. Also, Platner, he dropped out or did he? This is a fascinating story. And I'm going to take a couple of angles if we have time. Also today, the new audio book, Chasing Embers, is out. It is a great dystopian thriller from, well, I mean, from me. Well, one of the people who I just love on our staff actually was the one who wrote it. I told them the story and they were like, could you stop talking and let me write this story? And I'm like, well, Michaela, I guess so, but don't you really need? No, no. I listen to you talk all the time, Glenn. Please stop talking. It was a New York Times bestseller out a couple of years ago. We never did an audiobook. We've done it completely differently now.
It's been acted out by a couple of really talented actors, and you're going to love it. It's out wherever you get your audiobooks. It's out today. All right, I want to start with Donald Trump and Iran because what's happening? I want to pick you up from where I was yesterday where I said he's looking for an Albert Speer figure. And if you don't know who Albert Speer was from Germany in the 1930s, you know, you can ask the politician up in Maine. He knows exactly who he is. But we'll get to Iran and Trump and what's really going on. Some analysis on this coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Legacy Box. When you're young, you think you're going to remember everything. The sound of your parent laughing.
your kids when they were little, that old camcorder video from family vacation. You figure those memories will always be there. But... Time has a way of proving us wrong. The good news is memories may not be gone. They're just stuck on a shelf in the garage, sitting on an old VHS tape or a camcorder cassette or film reels or boxes of photos that nobody's opened up in years. So I'm glad to tell you about Legacy Box. They make it easy to preserve those memories before time takes a toll. You send them in, all your old media, their team right in Tennessee, carefully digitize it by hand. They return all of your original along with all of the digital copies so you can watch, share, and pass down for generations to come.
