Hey, today's Father's Day spectacular. Not really. This is the same show. I just put that label on it. You know, a commencement address for anybody who is, you know, starting out their life, whether you just graduated from high school, college, or you're just starting out or starting over. Kind of a commencement address for the summer. Also, Tulsi left a she. Well, she lit a fuse, if I will. She lit a fuse and it's a bombshell. And. And it has serious ramifications. And I want to talk to you about those serious ramifications and what she left based on the original documents, not on news reports, because they're not getting this right. And also, it's Father's Day. What does it mean to be a father? All that and more on the edited version. This is the best of podcast. When you're young, it's like your body keeps score for everything. You know, it does it in invisible ink, though. You climb ladders way too fast, you lift way too much, you laugh, you know, you laugh off a fall and you play a little too hard, you know, and then decades later, that ink suddenly starts to appear out of thin air and it just spells the word ouch. Every knot that shows up in your shoulder, every hitch that suddenly appears in your hip, it's a, you know, it's a nice long story that your body's been holding on to. But here's the thing. Your body was made to heal, not to hang on to all that pain forever. And that's where relief factor comes in. It's a daily partnership with your body's own natural process. It's a way to say, let's finally deal with this. Because relief factor isn't just about feeling better. It's about moving forward.

Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. There is a piece of open source intel audio that Jason just played for the insiders. And I'm just gonna play you just a. Just a bit of it. You just roll that tape for me, please. We have translated this and it's very disturbing and it has everything to do with the Iran peace deal is just coming out. We. Before I, you know, really go into this deeply, Jason is tracking down as much as he can to see if we can get any second verification of this, of, of what it is said to be. But it has deep ramifications. I just want to make sure that it's absolutely real before we go into any any further. So I want you to know we are aware of this breaking news. It is not breaking on any network or television station. It's just, it's all over the Internet now. And so I'm very skeptical. But I want you to know I'm aware of it and we're going to try to track it down before the end of the program. I also want to talk to people who are starting their lives. You know, it's, it's been the season of graduation, and it's not just graduation. It's people. You know, you graduate from high school or college or you're just leaving home now and you're beginning to work and you're not going to go to school because you have a different path. Whatever. I really, I want to give you a message because I think for a lot of you there is this, this quiet voice that has been whispering to you for a while now. And it says, the world's broken and somebody's handing it to me and I don't know what to do. I mean, I don't think I'm ready. Let me start with a hard truth here. Life is hard. It is. It's just not as hard as people profiting from your panic. Need you to believe, okay? It's not. The hardness is real. The hopelessness is a product. Don't buy into that there is an entire industry whose only job is to convince you that. That just being alive right now is the heaviest thing a human has ever carried. It's not. It's not. Your great grandmother buried children and kept going. Somebody in your bloodline crossed an ocean with a suitcase and a prayer and a couple of bucks in their pocket. They didn't even speak the language. You came from people who did really hard things. And they did it without WI Fi and Bluetooth. Look, the weight is real, but the despair is a sales pitch. Please don't buy into it. Now, here is the new thing. There is no graduating class or no, no group of people your age that has. There's things that you have that these people have never been told before. You are the first generation in all of human history to graduate or to start your life and live your whole life beside a mind that is not alive. And you know what I mean. It's sitting in your pocket. It can write your essay. It can paint your picture. It can pass your exams. It can answer almost anything. You ask it faster than you can finish the question. And a lot of people are quietly terrified that it has already made you obsolete. So I want you to write this down or remember this, please. You are alive. It is not. Never confuse the two. The machine that we have right now in your pocket that can read every book ever written, but it has never once been afraid of the dark. It can know everything and understand nothing. It will know more about you by Tuesday, yet it will never really know what it's like to be you. And that's not your weakness. That's the entire point of you. It has all of the answers, but not a single reason to get out of bed. You have all of the reasons. You may not have the answers, but you have the reasons. Don't trade those away. Let it carry the facts. But you have to carry the meaning. And that's always been the better job. Honestly. I mean, facts, whatever. What date was that? Who was it that led that war? What was it? Fine. The meaning behind it is what's human and important. Because here's the secret. The machine accidentally just taught the whole world. It's a secret the wise have known for thousands of years. Knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not God. You know, there are three different floors and most people spend their life just living on the wrong one. Knowledge tells you that the stove is hot. Wisdom tells you warn the child. And God is the reason you loved the child enough to warn them in the first place. Which floor do you Live on a search engine has knowledge. Your grandmother had wisdom. Don't confuse the two and don't worship either one of them. The good news is you don't need the. You don't need that machine for the part of life that matters. Because everything you actually need to live a good life you already had by the first grade. You know you just spent 16 years and a fortune helping you to forget everything that you knew. All the common sense. You want proof you already know all of these. And this is the secret to a successful and happy and joyous life. Share. Tell the truth, say you're sorry, and mean it. Don't take what isn't yours. Clean up your mess. Yours, not the Internet. Yours. Don't hit. Use your words. When somebody falls down, help them up. Don't stand over them filming it. Hold hands when you cross the dangerous part. Take a nap when you're cranky. Honestly, I really think half the adults screaming on television and on the Internet, they just need a nap and a juice box. But you knew all of this by the time you were six. You knew it before you could read. Because answers to life are not that complicated. We make them complicated because. Because simple truth is impossible to sell and no fun to argue about on a panel show. That simple knowing, that's wisdom. And wisdom always points up. So while we're looking up, let me say this. There is a God. And it's not you. It's not me. Strangely, I think this is the best news anyone can ever get. I'm not God because it means you don't have to carry the weight of the world. You were never strong enough. You were never asked to be strong enough. And when I talk about God, I'm not telling you to join a church. Church is the building. I'm telling you to find the architect. Because you're not an accident. You know, a universe of cold math does not produce a soul that weeps at music by accident. You were made. And you are made on purpose. You are made. Not just man. You. And somewhere underneath all that noise, purpose is still waiting for you to get quiet enough to hear it. I'm telling you, you will find it. You will find it. You might have to search. I mean, I searched for 35 years and I still am trying to. I still am searching and I still finding more reasons what I'm supposed to do and why I'm alive. Knowledge will puff you up. Wisdom will calm you down. But God will set you free. Let me talk a little bit about that fear about not being ready People who built everything that you admire, they were not braver than you. They were just. They were scared and busy at the same time. What is courage? What is it? The men who signed the Declaration of Independence, they were not marble statues. Half of them were kids. Let me give you a perspective on the Founding Fathers. You know, Monroe took a musket ball crossing the Delaware at 1818. Lafayette crossed an ocean to bleed for a country that wasn't even his. Do you know how old. Lafayette. Lafayette. Lafayette, the guy who, if we didn't have. We might not have won the war. Do you know how old he was when he came over and said, this is not my country, but I'm going to help you defend it? He was 19. That's a sophomore. Nathan Hale. I've only got one life to give. That's his only regret. Do you know how old he was when he said that? 21. Nobody's ever ready. Readiness is a myth that confident people sell to nervous people. The whole fragile, beautiful thing has always been carried forward by frightened, frightened young people who just did the next right thing anyway. So if you're getting ready to start your life, let me give you four things. Write them down. Question and speak. Ask the most dangerous questions. The kind that cost something. Especially you. Cost you something. Because that's when you find what's true. And then you say it. Out loud in the room when it goes quiet. But speak. Build. Never to wound, but to build. To heal. The goal. The goal of a true thing is never to win. It is to heal. So learn and heal. The world is not victims and villains. It's not. It's. You know what it is? Mostly tired people carrying things you can't see. So listen to them before you condemn them. Get curious before you get furious. Then heal what you can reach. Not the whole world. Just the wound that is actually yours to tend. To. Start small, start near. Start now. Lift up. Hold. Lift. The person next to you. They're pretending they've got it all figured out. They don't. Nobody does. Then hold your word. Hold your friends. Hold the line and everybody else is letting go hold the line on what you know to be true. Build and do not destroy. Anyone can burn a barn, but it takes a carpenter and a whole community to raise one. Tearing down is loud. It's easy. And it's the surest sign of a small soul. The people who built the great cathedrals knew they'd die before that spire even touched the sky. But they built it anyway. For a stranger. That was 600 years away from them that you want to talk about. Planting trees when shade you'll never sit in. It's that. And know this, somebody is making money off your anger. The machine in your pocket was tuned to keep you furious. Because a furious person doesn't build, they just scroll and seethe. And a generation that only seethes can be sold to, lied to, ruled. So reject that game. I know everybody wants to be a rebel. Well, that's your rebellion. In a world that desperately needs you to be outraged and pissed off and burn things down. A settled heart is the most dangerous. It's the most defiant thing you can carry. Your parents or grandparents rebelled with loud music. You get to rebel with peace. Yours is much cooler. Hatred is the easiest religion in the world. It doesn't ask anything of you, but your attention. And it will take your one and only life and spend it on people who will never know your name. Don't give it to them. Because there's something that I believe, and I believe it to the marrow of my bones. You're not the generation that ruins it. You're not the generation that loses it. You're the generation born. Exactly, late enough to fix it. You've seen the game closer than any of us did. And a lot of you are already done with them. You don't want the noise. You want something real. You're not naive. That's the oldest wisdom there is. Coming home. When that little voice says the world is broken and you're not ready, you tell it the truth. The world's always been a little broken. I was never going to be ready. The answers are simple. I've had them the whole time. There is a God and it's not me. And I'm going to build anyway. No matter what you say, I'm not too late. I didn't miss it. The story isn't over. The story. The story has been waiting for people in my generation. And the pin is in your hand and the page is blank. And nobody, nobody gets to write what comes next but you. I have to tell you, we've been waiting for you. We don't always treat you like it, but we have. You are the one. You are the generation. So question and speak. Learn. And he'll lift and hold. Build and don't destroy. Find the architect. Share your snacks. Take a nap. Be kind on purpose. And whatever that machine in your pocket ever tells you. Remember one thing it can never do. The one word that is yours and yours alone. Live. You are alive. It is not. Now go prove it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Boy, I gotta tell you, we were just kicking around theories and I'm gonna share them with you maybe on Monday. Let's get some more information. But we're just kicking around theories during the insider break and there, there could be some very interesting things happening here. Again, just theories, but we'll talk about that on Monday. Let's get some more facts and watch what happens. Anyway, I want to tell you what happened yesterday. On our very last day as the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard didn't pack up her office and slip quietly into the night. She walked out that door and she dropped a bomb. Actually two bombs, one right after the other. Last week she released the first one and we were talking on the air last week saying why didn't she include any of the Fauci stuff? Because that was this week. Last week, declassified intelligence proving that the United States government has been funding and operating more than 120 biological laboratories in over 30 countries around the world, including facilities in Ukraine that were handling some of the most dangerous pathogens on Earth. They're still there. Why we won't burn those out, why we don't get rid of those and literally take a flamethrower to those in a country where there's a war? What are we, insane? Sorry, rhetorical question. Now, for years, officials, including people tied to Anthony Fauci and the previous administration, looked at the American people, looked us right in the eye and lied. They said none of this stuff was happening. And they called people like me a conspiracy theorist or somebody that was just giving out misinformation, disinformation, mal information, and I was dangerous. Then yesterday, her final day, she released a second set of documents. And this one doesn't just connect the dots, it lights all the dots on fire. These papers show before COVID ever escaped, Anthony Fauci's NIAID was sending American taxpayer dollars through EcoHealth alliance to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct risky research on bat coronaviruses. We told you this. We did a whole special on this right after at. I mean, within six months of, of COVID coming out, we had all this, we had all of the, we didn't have the documents she just handed yesterday to you. They were doing research on all kinds of really deadly things, combining parts of this and combining it with that to see if it could infect human cells. Research that multiple experts have called. See if you heard this before. Gain of function work research that came with warning. State Department cables from 2018 that the lab in Wuhan had dangerously inadequate safety protocols. All of this now is out in the documents. The documents also show that Fauci personally engaged with the intelligence community on origin questions. June 2021, he sat in on a secure briefing where they discussed sick researchers at the Wuhan lab. Late 2019 we told you all of this. The early panic and chaos in China. He recommended for the, the, the scientist for the IC to, to talk to. Months later, under oath before Congress, he claimed no, I have no idea. The intelligence agencies are talking to what, what I don't know. There's no intelligence at all about viral research connected to Covid. We now know he lied. It's right there. Documents also reveal how the lab leak hypothesis was treated inside the intelligence community. Analysts who lean toward, you know, toward it faced pressure. Some were told, in effect their careers depended on allying with the preferred narrative. You stop saying that or you won't have a career in the intelligence community. Whistleblowers who came forward, they were marginalized or worse. May 2020, an assessment from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory concluded the conditions at Wuhan lab were consistent with an accidental release of a laboratory modified coronavirus and gave equal weight to the lab origin possibility. That's not theory. Now these are the actual documents. Do not get them from the press. Don't even get them from me. I want you to go to the, I want you to go to the Tulsi Gabbard's website now and get them from the government website, National Director of Intelligence. Get them from that website, read the original fact, print them and save them. Here's the connection. Most people are missing here. And I believe, I believe this is why she released the biolab documents first. She started with a global picture because she wanted you to see the pattern. Not just one lab in one city. For years the United States has been quietly building and funding worldwide network of labs working on really dangerous stuff. Often in places with shaky oversight, political instability or active conflict. Is there a worse place to do this than in Ukraine? Yeah, there is. Iran. Wuhan was just another node in the same ecosystem of dual use research when something went wrong in Wuhan. When a virus that looks suspicious, like the kind of work that they were doing, escaped the same system that funded it and enabled it, was went into protection mode. And not to protect you, but to protect the program, the funding, the reputations and the narratives. I'm telling you these people should stand trial and should at least if it was proven that this is what's True. I mean, look at the, look at the documents. These, all these people you want to talk about. He lied. They died. He lied and millions died. I mean, honestly, I, I, I, I would push for the death penalty. This is one of the worst crimes against humanity. I know. That's why the Bio Labs release came first. It established this house of cards that's all over the world, not just in China. Then the COVID documents pulled the card labeled Wuhan and showed exactly how the whole thing collapsed on the world and millions of people died. Not from some random act of nature that nobody could have seen coming, but from research that was funded in part with your money, conducted under conditions that American diplomats had already flagged as dangerous. Then, buried under layers of trust, the experts follow the science. An attack on me is an attack on science. And now the woman that Donald Trump put into place to be able to run the entire intelligence community walks out on our last day and says, here, read it for yourself. Read it. I'm asking you not only to read it, I'm asking you to print these documents and save them. Because you know and I know that's gonna happen. Nobody's going to jail. Powerful. Never pay for anything this big. And they should. Look at the body count, look at the economic destruction, look at the loss of, of years, the shattered trust. Think of what has happened to our families. This is the biggest crime in human history. And the people responsible are going to retire to book deals and speaking circuits and the rest of us are still digging our lives out. I understand that anger and I understand the disgust. I share the disgust. But sunlight is still the best, best disinfectant if, God forbid, we lose this election. And I have to tell you, because I have more to share on this. I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow. I have much more to share on this. Tulsi Gabbard just opened the blinds on her way out and somebody else will come in and close those blinds. You have to print those documents and save them. They're safe in multiple hands. They have to be in, they have to be in people's hands all across the country. Save those documents now. She didn't have to do this. She was leaving. She could have kept her head down. She could have collected her pension, let the machine keep grinding. She could have written a book and made all kinds of money on the book. You know, we all would have went, why didn't you tell us this now? Instead, she decided to hand the American people the primary source documents. That matters. It matters because truth is Always has a way of working, even when justice is slow or incomplete. It matters because the receipts are now public and the gaslighting is going to become harder. It matters because the next time some official tells you, trust us, we'd never do anything reckless, you have the paper trail in your hand. Don't get this from mainstream media. Get. Get the original documents. So what do you do with this? Like I said, get the original documents. First, you have to refuse to look away. Read the documents. Share the documents. Not opinions, not me. The documents. Stop letting legacy media and captured institutions frame the story for you and your family. Second, demand the rest of the truth. Full unredacted accounting of every dollar that went into risky pathogen research, every safety failure that was ignored, every law that was broken, every internal assessment that was buried or pressured. And we support ending gain of function research on potential pandemic pathogens. You have to be serious about resilience because the people who created this mess have proven they cannot be trusted to protect you, protect you from the next one. You have to build your own margin. You have to strengthen your own community. You have to grow your own food. You have to know your neighbors. You have to teach your children real history and critical thinking so they never again will outset outsource their mind to the experts who. Who have conflicts of interest. The size of a pandemic. And finally, this is the part that will separate despair from duty. Choose courage over cynicism. Cynicism says nothing will ever change, so why bother? Courage says, I'm not living by lies. Even if liars never face a courtroom, I will not live by lies. And neither will my family. The same spirit that animated the persecuted church, same people who lost everything, yet they radiate joy because they know the truth that is available to you. The same courage that has marked every truth teller who stood against the machine in really dark times is available to us. Grab onto that truth. Tulsi Gabbard lit a fuse on her way out. And you know what? I hope the left sees this is the way you do it. You don't burn the country down. You burn away the lies that have been choking it. What we do now determines whether that light exposes the rot or whether we just let the smoke clear and we pretend we never saw it. Millions, millions paid with their lives for the arrogance and the COVID up. The least we can do, the very least, is to make sure their deaths are not in vain by refusing to let the same system keep operating in the dark. This is the reckoning. And it all starts with us knowing the truth and acting like it. The best of the Glenn Beck program Foreign. And I don't know if you feel this way, but there are so many things I wish I would have said to my dad and my grandfather. And they aren't here now. So I wrote him a letter. What I'd say by the window. There's a chair by the window where the light comes in early. And I sit there sometimes before the house wakes up. Before the world wants anything from me. And lately, that's where the two of you will find me. Dad, Grandpa, I don't know if you can hear this. Never have exactly. But this weekend, of all weekends, I find I have a few things to say. And the strange part is, now that I'm at the age that I am, I finally have the words for him. I just don't have the two of you here to hand them to. But let me try anyway. Dad, I understand you now. I'm sorry. The things I once took for hardness. I see them differently now. From this point. That quiet at the end of the long day. The worry that you wore like a coat you never took off. I thought it was distance. It was love with its sleeves rolled up and too tired to say so. I know that now because I've worn the same coat. I've sat in the same silence. And some nights I. I catch myself sounding exactly like you, which I swore I never would. But to tell you the truth, it's the proudest I ever feel. There are questions I meant to ask. I figured there'd be time. What were you afraid of? What you wanted back before life narrowed the options down. Whether you knew, really knew, how much I was watching, taking notes, becoming you. And neither of us was looking. What I would give for just one more ordinary afternoon. Nothing special. Grandpa, you taught me how to tell a story. You taught me the long view that a man plants trees he'll never sit under. That you do the work. Whether anybody is keeping score. That there are people in this world who do things a certain way, a steady way, a decent way. And they don't even know that the reason they do it is you. It came down through me and they never heard your name. But it's there. You're still here, in the grain of things. And this Father's Day weekend, I want both of you to know. Dad and Grandpa. I turned out all right. There were rough stretches that you would have hated to watch, but I came through them. The faith you handed me, sometimes without a word, just by the way you lived Held. And it's still holding. But that's not why I sat in this chair. I sat down not to tell you those things. I just sat down to say thank you. That's all. Just thank you for more than I knew to thank you for. For the things I'm now only now old enough to see. I also wanted to tell you I can't wait to see you again. Not soon, hopefully. I mean, I have trees to plant, people who need me to be the man that you raised. But someday. Someday I'll find you both on a porch in heaven, in the light in the window of a house I haven't seen, there with the ones who came before you. And I'll walk up those steps and we'll have all the afternoons we ever wanted. Nothing special. Just time enough at last to waste until then. Thank you. I love you. I'll be carrying your name around a little while longer and truly trying to do it proud. You know, it's our fathers who teach us how to be fathers. But they do it without any words. Usually. Usually we just learn by watching. But in our time, we can't take words like father for granted anymore and assume we all know what that means, because I don't know if we do. For a long time, I had a hard time describing what a father was. My father was abused by his father and his father by his father. And my father decided he's not going to do that. But he didn't know how to be a good father. And so to make sure he didn't do it, he kind of just worked himself to death. Father is the kind of man the world almost never claps for. He gets up before the light. He goes to work that bores him so somebody smaller than him can chase the work that thrills them. He fixes things twice because the first fix didn't hold. And nobody ever knows there was a first fix at all. And he. He carries the heavy end and lets his son carry the handle and tells him, good job. You did it. Good job. And he means it. That man is a father. We've gotten confused about what the word means. We think it means a strong jaw and a firm handshake. We think it means provision. And it does. But a checkbook is not a father. We think it means discipline, and it does. But fear is not a father. It's not the same as respect. And a man who is only feared has not finished the job. The truth is older than our dads, our grandparents, our country. Older than Rome, written into us before we Had a word for it. To be a father is to go first to walk into the dark room ahead of the child and say, see, there's nothing in here. There's nothing to be afraid of. Even though you might be freaked out of your mind. To be a father means to stand between your family and the storm and let the storm believe for at least one more night. This house is unbreakable. To be a father means to take the blow that was meant for them and then not mention it at dinner time. The father is somebody who tests the ice before anyone he loves ever steps foot on it. And you know the strange holy thing about it is. I guess the thing that young men don't understand is that he does almost all of it in private. There's no audience for the 2am Floor. Walking with a fevered baby dad. There's, you know, no one films the father who sits in the truck in the driveway for 10 minutes swallowing a hard day, just collecting himself so he can walk through that door as the man they need him to be instead of the man he feels like. The best fathering in the world, the best fathering the world has ever seen happens when nobody is watching. And that's not a tragedy. That's the design. Dads are the load bearing wall inside of the house. You don't decorate it, you don't admire it, you don't even know is that a load bearing. You don't even know. You only notice it the day it's gone and then you understand it was holding everything up. I want to say to my children, not for my sake, for somebody. I want them to know this is what you're looking for. You know, even when you're fighting it, you don't actually want your father who let you win. You want a father strong enough that when he tells you you're going to be all right, you believe him. Because you've seen him, you've watched him be all right before. You want to push against something that doesn't move so you can learn how strong you're becoming. Strive to become that. Not loud, not rich, immovable in the things that matter and gentle with the people. You could crush. My daughters. All women. When you're looking for a man, don't be dazzled by the one who talks about love. Watch the one who just shows up. The dazzling ones are usually the ones that leave. The one that shows up on an ordinary Tuesday who keeps the small promise about the small thing, who's the same man in the kitchen that he is in the Crowd. That man. That man will still be standing next to you in the hospital hallway 40 years from now because the fireworks fade. You're not looking for fireworks. You're looking for a hearth. And to the old men who are listening, I'm relating more and more to you every day. You're looking back now and you're counting the misses. You're counting the games you missed. The nights you were too tired. The words you said that were too sharp. The apology you owed and never quite delivered. Let me tell you something. The measure of your fatherhood was never the perfect days. It was that you stayed. You came back to the table. You kept laying down the road even when your own father never laid one down for you. That's the most heroic version of all. The man who builds the bridge, he never got to cross. Take a minute, old man, to look at those who carry your name. They're standing on ground you cleared. They don't even see it. The same way you don't see air. That's how you know you did it right. Because a father is not a man at all. A father. A father's a direction. He's the way the family faces. Long after he is gone, his children will reach for a word and it will be his word. They'll face a storm and they'll stand the way he stood. They'll hold their own child at 2am Walking that same floor. And they'll understand him at last. And they will weep. And they will keep walking. That is the thing that lasts. A good father doesn't leave you money. He leaves you away to be a man. A way to be loved. A way to stay. He spends his whole life pouring himself into people who won't understand the gift until he's no longer there to thank. But he does it anyway. That's what it means to be a father. It is the most ordinary, unglamorous, world saving thing a man will ever do. Happy Father's Day and dad and Grandpa again. Thank you.
Episode Overview
This episode of The Glenn Beck Program features a “commencement address for the summer,” reflections on the meaning of fatherhood, and a deep dive into bombshell revelations about U.S.-funded overseas biolabs and COVID-19 origins. With his hallmark blend of directness, storytelling, and cultural critique, Glenn delivers hopeful advice to new graduates, heartfelt words for Father’s Day, and a strong call to action regarding government transparency, referencing documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
[Approx. 07:00 – 30:00]
“Life is hard. It is. It’s just not as hard as people profiting from your panic need you to believe...” – Glenn Beck (12:30)
"You are the first generation in all of human history to graduate or to start your life and live your whole life beside a mind that is not alive...You are alive. It is not. Never confuse the two." – Glenn Beck (15:10)
"Knowledge tells you that the stove is hot. Wisdom tells you warn the child. And God is the reason you loved the child enough to warn them in the first place." – Glenn Beck (17:45)
“A settled heart is the most dangerous. It’s the most defiant thing you can carry. Your parents or grandparents rebelled with loud music. You get to rebel with peace. Yours is much cooler.” – Glenn Beck (24:30)
“You’re not the generation that ruins it...You’re the generation born, exactly, late enough to fix it...The story has been waiting for people in my generation. And the pen is in your hand and the page is blank. And nobody, nobody gets to write what comes next but you.” – Glenn Beck (29:10)
[Approx. 32:00 – 55:00]
“For years, officials...looked us right in the eye and lied. They said none of this stuff was happening...Now, for years, the United States has been quietly building and funding a worldwide network of labs working on really dangerous stuff.” – Glenn Beck (37:05)
"He lied and millions died. I mean, honestly, I would push for the death penalty. This is one of the worst crimes against humanity." – Glenn Beck (43:08)
"Don't get these from the press. Don't even get them from me. Go to Tulsi Gabbard's website and get them from the government website...Read the original fact, print them and save them." – Glenn Beck (46:15)
“Tulsi Gabbard lit a fuse on her way out. And you know what? I hope the left sees this is the way you do it. You don’t burn the country down. You burn away the lies that have been choking it. What we do now determines whether that light exposes the rot, or whether we just let the smoke clear...” – Glenn Beck (53:12)
[Approx. 56:00 – End]
“My father was abused by his father and his father by his father. And my father decided he’s not going to do that. But he didn’t know how to be a good father. And so to make sure he didn’t do it, he kind of just worked himself to death.” – Glenn Beck (59:55)
“The best fathering the world has ever seen happens when nobody is watching. And that’s not a tragedy. That’s the design. Dads are the load bearing wall inside of the house. You don’t decorate it, you don’t even know it until it’s gone.” – Glenn Beck (01:02:00)
“The measure of your fatherhood was never the perfect days. It was that you stayed. The man who builds the bridge he never got to cross. Take a minute, old man, to look at those who carry your name. They’re standing on ground you cleared.” – Glenn Beck (01:05:10)
“A father doesn’t leave you money. He leaves you a way to be a man. A way to stay...It is the most ordinary, unglamorous, world saving thing a man will ever do.” – Glenn Beck (01:07:45)
