## Resource

Glenn 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. Learn more about your ad choices.
