Brad Thor dropped a major bomb-shell on Glenn’s radio program Thursday, saying he’s committed to running for president of the United States. Glenn introduced his friend by reminding listeners about the author’s courage in the face of controversy. “I believe Brad is one of the most courageous people out there. Because — he is in business. You’re selling a book. And what you said — I shouldn’t say what you said — because what you said was not controversial,” Glenn said. Some may recall the flak Glenn received following Thor’s fiery remarks about Donald Trump in his previous interview on The Glenn Beck Program. This time, Thor took his challenge to the next level. “I announced to Reince Priebus on Twitter, I said, ‘If it takes announcing my candidacy to get onto the stage to debate Donald Trump, I said I would do it.’ So I announced,” Thor said.

Most idiots on AM talk radio seriously see themselves as real movers and shakers.
Better choice: dump them onto the used market. You might stop someone from buying a new book, depriving him of royalties.
But, I'm disappointed as well. I've read most of Thor's books, but no more.
This will HELP Trump.
The more candidates, the better, because it will splinter the #NeverTrump voters.
I never heard of him before this thread that I know of. I’ll have to look him up. Beck has the BUTT HURT real bad!
Memo to any public figure with a successful career. Stay the hell away from Glenn Beck.

Here’s the controversial remarks from the broadcast about Donald Trump:
BRAD THOR: He is a danger to America and I got to ask you a question and this is serious and this could ring down incredible heat on me because I’m about to suggest something very bad. It is a hypothetical I am going to ask as a thriller writer.With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress won’t remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority, I should say, as president.
If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office? And I don’t think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office because you won’t be able to do it through Congress.
GLENN BECK: I would agree with you on that and I don’t think you actually have the voices we’ve been talking about and we’ve been talking about this off-air for a while. I think the voices like ours go away. I don’t think we are allowed – especially if things, and I believe the economy is going to go to crap, even if Jesus was in office. It’s going to naturally reset. It has to.

After receiving criticism for these comments from people who believed Thor and Beck were suggesting or at least implying assassination, Beck offered a lengthy defense of his statements. You can read the full transcript of his defense here.
Let not your heart be troubled! Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?
Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Every time Donald Trump says, “I love you!” to a crowd, I am reminded when Jesus said:
John 13
34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1047). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
The delusional, disinformation campaign of Stabby the Clown and his messianic complex. He ran the Teddy Cruz horse into the ground now he has a new bunkie. They don’t make enough meds to keep him from inevitable appointment with a straight jacket.
Trump for President.
The standard for getting into the televised debate was credible national polling at 15% or more. That was the standard for John Anderson (1980) and H. Ross Perot (1992 and 1996). The committee can lower it to 10% or even 5%, but somehow I don’t think they could justify lowering it to Thor’s level.
Exactly...this guy should be kept under watch, for his vile suggestion.
Meanwhile....Beck and Thor need to keep their bromance private. Just when we think they cannot embarrass themselves any more.....they do.
I have a video, this person had a vision back in 2011 and it was said that God was ready in 2012, but the people were not...this is the time now that God has his plan...
And I can’t help but remember my thoughts when I heard this man on this video, it came back so clear when I heard last night that GB had won their freedom...
This is God’s plan, not mans...
Peace Be With You...
Brad Thor’s hammer is missing. Donald has it.
Beck and Thor are screaming, out in the wilderness, for any last sliver of attention they can get.
It’s just a joke.
Seriously? This is the guy’s resume? A freaking novelist? Did he also sleep at a Holliday Inn?
From his website:
“BACKGROUND
Brad has served as a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Analytic Red Cell Unit, and has lectured to law enforcement organizations on over-the-horizon/future threats. He has been a keynote speaker for the National Tactical Officers Association annual conference, the Young America’s Foundation, and the Ronald Reagan 100 celebration. A supporter of The Heritage Foundation, Brad has spoken at their national headquarters on the need for robust missile defense.
In 2008, Brad shadowed a Black Ops team in Afghanistan to research his thriller, The Apostle.
Brad graduated cum laude from the University of Southern California where he studied creative writing, film, and television production.

Thor/Iron Man 2016
The woodshop teacher at my high school ran for president in 1964...he probably got more votes than Thor will get....
Indeed!
I read *ONE* (back around a decade ago, before any of this started). Never read a second, because Tom Clancy, he ain't...
