LIVE: The Glenn Beck Program | Hour 1 | 6/19/26

[00:00:00]Hello, America. Welcome to the Glen Beck program. It's Friday. Finally, we're here. We've made it. Uh there's some bumps along the way this week. I mean, one of them was the opening of the Obama Presidential Library, which I just blood shoots out of my eyes when I I was watching this thing yesterday and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. It's a comedy show. If it wasn't so pathetic, it would be an absolute comedy show. Uh I'm going to start there. Also some things for graduates today. I'm going to go over what Tulsi Gabbard released on her way out yesterday. Pretty amazing things. Don't worry. Don't worry. No, he's going to go to jail. Don't worry about that. And we're also going to talk about uh one of our founding fathers, the father of our country, George Washington, found an amazing letter from his stepson about Thank you for being my father. It's an amazing uh thing. I found it through an insider last night. They sent it to me and said, "Glenn, you really have to read this. It's so great." We're going to do that. I've got a lot on Father's Day as well. Coming up on today's program, but we start with the confession and the catering budget in Chicago. We'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, there are people who love paperwork.

[00:01:16]At least I'm told they exist, you know.

[00:01:17]Yeah. And dinosaurs were real, too.

[00:01:19]Anyway, uh apparently somewhere in America right now there is a person who gets genuine satisfaction from organizing forms into color-coded folders and reading the fine print on insurance policies for fun. I have never met that person. I don't even think I want to meet that person. Most business owners I know uh are not that person.

[00:01:38]They started a business because they were good at something, building things, selling things, fixing things, helping people. They didn't wake up and be like, "Man, you know what I want to do today?

[00:01:46]I want to read all the fine print in my insurance coverage limits. That's why Super Sure exists, and I love it. They make business insurance really simple.

[00:01:55]You can get coverage quickly, manage everything online, and actually understand what you're buying without needing a law degree and a decoder ring.

[00:02:02]Because the more time you spend with dealing, you know, an insurance confusion, the less time you spend running your business and helping people. That's what you got in the business for. So go to supershore.com/beck.

[00:02:25]>> Paid for by Superure Insurance Agency LLC. A licensed insurance agency.

[00:02:32]>> Oh golly. Oh golly golly golly. Well, the Barack Obama Presidential Library is finally open. Oh, thank goodness.

[00:02:46]I've been waiting and waiting and waiting. I'm like, I've always wanted to see what the Death Star looks like. Now, part of it is right there in Chicago.

[00:02:55]It's beautiful. Well, not beautiful exactly. It's horrendously hideously ugly, but beautiful in its own way. Not really. Uh, so yesterday they had this big opening and I got to tell you, I can't take the press coverage. There there's press coverage yesterday fawning on how beautiful how beautiful Michelle Obama looked and what she was wearing.

[00:03:18]And oh my gosh, look how she just look how she just pulls that off. She's just so beautiful and she's just wearing that with such style. Are you kidding me?

[00:03:28]Really? I mean, fine, she looks beautiful. She's wearing a nice dress, etc., etc. But I don't seem to recall any of that being said about the first lady who's an actual supermodel.

[00:03:41]But anyway, I digress. Uh, so they opened this up yesterday and I just want to give you a few things here. Um, well, let's let's start with this. Um, here's the CEO of the Obama Foundation, Valerie Jarrett. Of course she is. She's starting her speech about the presidential library. And of course, this is what she has to say. Listen, >> we'd also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today.

[00:04:10]>> We honor the Inishab, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojiway, the Odawa, and the Padawani nations.

[00:04:19]>> Oh, the Pawatami. I just love them so much. Um, fine. Fine. What does that mean exactly?

[00:04:28]This is my deal. It's fine to acknowledge people, but what does it mean? Let me give you some perspective here. $850 million, 20 acres. Springsteen, Stevie Wonder was there. Bono flew in to represent the Irish, I guess. And they choose to open this thing by stepping to the microphone in front of God and three former presidents and announce the entire monument is sitting on stolen land. I love that. and stolen land. But by the way, we're keeping it.

[00:05:01]We honor the original inhabitants on the land in which we're gathered. In plain English, this is what they're saying. We know this really isn't ours. You know, we took it. We're aware of it. Anyway, gift shop is right to your left. Tickets are $30 and uh that is the highest of any presidential museum in the country.

[00:05:20]Oh, and by the way, oh, I hope you're not black because you don't have ID.

[00:05:24]Have your ID ready.

[00:05:26]I mean, this is insane.

[00:05:29]Insane. From requiring people to have ID, which black people can't get ID.

[00:05:35]What are they? This is Jim Crow 3.0.

[00:05:39]And then they acknowledge the stolen land. That is This is not an acknowledgement. That is a guilty plea with a houseband. Okay? Run this logic through the rest of your life and just watch it just all fall apart. Well, I want you to walk into your living room tonight and imagine that there's a guy sitting in your chair, feet up, eating your food, and before you can open your mouth, he rises up and just dabs the corner of his lips and says, "You know what? Before we begin, I just like to pause and honor the original inhabitants of this home, the Hendersons, who built it, raised three babies here, and whose memory we just cherish on this special evening." Then he sits down and continues to eat in your house your food. You know, honestly, I've never felt so more respected. I've never felt more respected than I do right now.

[00:06:31]Thank you for acknowledge. Get the hell out of my house. You hand your valet keys.

[00:06:37]And when you hand the valet keys over, you say, "Before Before I let you park this car, let me recognize that this Honda Civic is the ancestral property of a man named Kevin." Gosh, Kevin. Who doesn't love Kevin? Kevin, whose spirit rides with me as I drive into the sunset and never come back.

[00:06:58]Okay, somebody cleans out the bank vault, pauses at the door on the way out. Uh, hey, I just want uh, you know, I think we'd be remiss here to, you know, to acknowledge to not acknowledge the original depositors whose hard-earned money, all their savings we carry forward in our hearts and in this here duffel bag. Oh, that is Thank you.

[00:07:23]Thank you. Hey, who stole my lunch from the from the office refrigerator?

[00:07:30]Oh, no, no, no. They left a note. Didn't you see that? They left the note. You know, all the good lunch, the leftovers you thought about all morning. There's a little post-it in there. We honor the original owner of this turkey sandwich.

[00:07:41]Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

[00:07:43]Signed, eaten, gone. Oh, okay.

[00:07:51]>> I can't. I just that your words don't carry an ounce of weight.

[00:07:57]The acknowledgement isn't humility. It's the most arrogant thing you could possibly say. But that's them, right?

[00:08:05]You look, you're looking at who you say is the rightful owner in the eye and say, "This belongs to you." But I want you to know, we poured $850 million of concrete on top of it and we put a turn style out in front. Can I see your ID?

[00:08:23]Do you believe this? There are two honest moves. give it back or stop saying that it's theirs.

[00:08:31]Somehow or another, the left continues to pick door number three. You keep every square inch and settle the whole account with a sentence and a saxophone solo. Okay. All right. Well, I mean, I don't think that's honoring anybody.

[00:08:46]That's a man telling you out loud exactly what he's getting away with and waiting for you to clap. So, go ahead, leftist. you imbecile. Clap if you want. Kevin's still walking, but uh thanks for acknowledging that it was his car. Okay, so I'm sorry. I This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I had to start there. Now, here's Michelle Obama. She steps to the mic and didn't she look beautiful? Oh my gosh, did you see what she was wearing? Michelle, who are you wearing? Um she uh steps and she starts talking about dreamers.

[00:09:24]Okay, here she is.

[00:09:27]>> Immigrants proving what it truly means to be a dreamer.

[00:09:32]These folks these folks aren't Americans, too. They are America. They are the beating heart of this country.

[00:09:45]They are us and we are them.

[00:09:48]and to ignore the simple truth to refuse to respect the contributions and experiences of people who aren't exactly like us.

[00:09:59]Y'all put it puts us all at risk failing to see the humanity in all.

[00:10:05]>> You know what? Can we stop cuz she's topping talking about dreamers and how it puts us all at risk. And I think she's right on that one. probably not the good week to do the dreamers speech uh and then say, you know, it puts us all at risk because you um let dreamers in and gave citizenship to some dreamers and guess who one of them was that we just found out this week? The guy who was trying to kill everybody in Washington DC this week. the guy who had plotted drones to fly over the UFC fight in Washington DC and then let those drones go off, blow up, cause panic, get everybody to funnel through the exits where you had snipers ready to shoot all of the people as they're in this funnel in this chute.

[00:10:56]Shoot them all like they're cattle, you know, I I don't know. and then stormed the gates of the White House with yet another team that was thwarted this week. And you know who the the the guy who was that plot plotted the whole thing, the leader was uh oh, he was a dreamer.

[00:11:12]So Michelle, you're right. You're right.

[00:11:15]It does put us at risk. It does put us a little bit at risk. Read the room, sweetheart. Um and then of course because it's Junth which I have celebrated of course every year of my life. Everybody has. Everybody has. It's uh it's a very well-known holiday.

[00:11:35]Actually it's a Texas holiday. Um but the Obama's wanted to make sure that everybody was celebrating this Texas holiday cuz they love Texas. You know what I mean? Whatever Texas is doing, you know, the Obamas are like we should do this everywhere. This would not be the one that I would start with, you know, if I were the Obamas and I'm like, hey, what does Texas do that we should, you know, start doing around the rest of the country. I wouldn't have started with Junth, but okay. But he just loves the founders. He just loves them. He is so passive aggressive. Listen to what he said about the founders >> in forming our union. The founders fell terribly short of the declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact.

[00:12:20]allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who own property.

[00:12:28]But in drafting a constitution and a bill of rights, they did have the foresight, the genius to provide us with a framework that allows each generation to make our union more perfect.

[00:12:42]>> Okay, stop. Uh boy, this guy is amazing.

[00:12:45]How passive aggressive is that? So, um, he's he's halfright, you know, especially I love the fact that he brought up that white men with property.

[00:12:54]No. No. Um, but I'm glad you brought this up because, um, I'm so sick and tired of hearing that the founders, you know, didn't let women vote. Well, you could vote as a woman. Did you know that you could vote in America as a woman if your husband said you go vote? or if you your husband died or you said, "Hey, sit down, fat ass. I'm going to vote this time." The deal was when we founded this country, you could only vote if you had a stake in the game. If you if you owned property, you then had a stake in this. And so then you could vote. And if your husband died, you voted. Nobody said, "Uh, wait a minute. You're a chick." No, really.

[00:13:40]I'm Frederick. No, they didn't care. You own property. Great. Go ahead and vote.

[00:13:47]And quite honestly, I think we should do that again. And not necessarily ownership or property. I think it should be, do you pay taxes?

[00:13:54]Do you pay taxes?

[00:13:57]If you're getting money back from somebody else, I don't think you should have a right to vote because why would you vote anything other than, yeah, take more from them and give it to me. You have to have a stake in the game.

[00:14:12]But anyway, I digress because the most important thing that was said, the most revealing thing that was said was actually said on I think it's Good Morning America. They were being interviewed on Good Morning America. And I want you to hear what Michelle Obama said in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about burglars that think they're geniuses. No, really. Watch. Watch any true crime show. You'll see these guys plan their big heist on the back of a napkin, maybe in crayon. break through a window, take stuff, get rich. That's the level of strategy we're dealing with here, especially in California with Nuome. Uh oh, did I call him a robber and a crimeridden governor and crook? Yeah, I did. Yeah.

We'll get into that maybe if we have time a little later, but check it out. It's really, really good. All right, so let me give you what Michelle Obama uh said on Good Morning America. So, she and Barack are sitting there and they're asked to describe their next chapter in one word. Listen to this. Got five.

[00:16:34]>> One word to describe your next chapter.

[00:16:36]One word.

[00:16:38]>> Funny.

[00:16:40]>> Uh me.

[00:16:44]>> That's what you call drop the mic.

[00:16:47]>> You know what? You seem to be grading her higher on her answer.

[00:16:52]>> Wow. And if you watch it, he he's kind of surprised by that. He's like, whoa, whoa. Imagine saying that about your life with your husband or your wife. Imagine saying that. What are you saying?

[00:17:07]What she's saying is, "I've sacrificed my whole life for him."

[00:17:12]Um, did you Is that the way you guys work things out? Sacrifice. You're going to sacrifice this? You were not partners in any of this really? Cuz it seems like you were kind of partners, but um, what a sad relationship. I can't imagine if Tanya said, you know, your next chapter in life, what is it really about? I could see her saying us, it's about us.

[00:17:36]Um, I would say it's about her. I mean, the reason why we moved to Florida, I do not like I'm not a beach guy. I I see the sun and I break out in cancer. Um, I'm not a beach guy. I'm not a hot weather guy. I don't like humidity. I mean, Florida does not have my name on it, you know, on the surface, but I promise when Tanya and I got married and we we lived in Florida for a while. She always wanted She's a beach lover, she's a sun lover, blah blah blah. I always said to her, "Honey, if we can afford it someday, I will we will live on the beach. I know that's your dream. I've got so many things to do that I can't, you know, we're gonna have to live in New York and everything else." And she was like, "That's fine." And we don't have to live on the beach. And I'm like, "No, no, no. That's your dream. You're helping me with my dreams. Yeah, that's your dream. So, I turned 60 and I said to her, "I'm running out of time to keep my promise." And she's like, "What are you talking about?" Um, and I said, "I promised you that you would have your dream beach. We would live in Florida again." And um, she said, "Honey, we don't have to do that." I'm like, "Yeah, we do. That that that's you. It's time for me in my career now to serve you the and support you the way you supported me. That's a partnership. That's a marriage.

[00:18:56]And all the way through, I mean, even after we bought the house, she was like, I we didn't need to do this. I I don't know if we should have done this. And I'm like, oh, really? No. Anyway, um but I was kind of a steamroller on it. I was like, no, no. That's your dream. We're going to do it. And she is the such the type that is like, "No, no, no. Don't worry about me." She'd never she would serve everybody else first before she would ever take anything for herself.

[00:19:20]Um, but that's a that's a relationship.

[00:19:24]My wife has my wife would not look and she has sacrificed a lot for my job. A lot. I think my job has changed her not for the better in many ways. It has made her um I mean she's just a beam of sunshine. I've always felt she's just the brightest light in any room. She just is her she's just got goodness radiates out of her and she has in many things become very very cynical because of what she's experienced through me and my job and what she's seen and what she's had to go through with security and everything else. She wouldn't say she was sacrificing. She wouldn't.

[00:20:01]That's part of the deal. That's just what we signed up for.

[00:20:05]I'm I'm sad for the Obamas. I really am.

[00:20:08]I'm sad for them and their relationship.

[00:20:10]It just Man, I would hate to be in a relationship like that where you're like, "Fun. Next chapter is going to be fun. We're gonna have fun. Next chapter me. It's about me." Oh my god.

[00:20:24]So, I'm sad for them as a couple, but I'm kind of happy that he has to live with it. You know what I mean? I kind There is a part of me and it's a dark part. It's a very sad part of me. You know what I mean?

[00:20:37]And it's a probably bigger than I would hope that it would be, but there is a part of me that goes, "Yeah, you get what you deserve." Anyway, uh, American giant, here is an unspoken rule that is Jesus wouldn't have said that. Nope. But Jesus didn't have a talk show. Um, we used to in American manufacturing, you put your name on something, it better be good. You know what I mean? Not completely perfect necessarily, but pretty darn good. Good enough that you wouldn't be embarrassed if somebody found out who made it along along the way. uh you know companies forgot that rule. They started chasing cheaper materials, cheaper labor, cheaper production. The goal became making things for less, not making things well.

[00:21:15]And how best to do that? Do it overseas.

[00:21:19]That's one of the reasons I appreciate American Giant. They still believe in making things the right way here in America. Their clothes are made here in the United States using American workers, American factories. Um it's American cotton. The thread is made here in America. It's all cut and sewn here.

[00:21:34]I mean, and you can feel the difference.

[00:21:36]They're not just trying to make a shirt that last until next season. They're making a shirt that will last and last and last and you'll pass it on to your son or your or your daughter will be wearing your oversized shirt for the rest of her life. It is great.

[00:22:07]Welcome back to the Torch Insider Show.

[00:22:09]There's a uh before I get into some more of what GL was just talking about, there is some some news that some people are starting to talk about uh that I'm still trying to check on because a lot of the media hasn't really talked about this yet. Uh but as usual, we're getting a lot of our breaking news. It comes directly from X, which is just wild to me. uh that the pretty much every single major decision by world leaders, they announce it first on X. They don't go to CNN or Reuters or wherever it it first appears on X, which is just wild. It's wild the turn that that happened when Elon Musk purchased X and turned it into more of a a free speech platform. A lot of these organizations that are now releasing this information on X were all just swearing up and down that they would not, you know, they were cancelceing their, you know, their their uh X account. They would never do anything there again. No, it's it's pretty much the the global leader in breaking news. Um, but this is so um before that there was a few different uh insiders that were uh mentioning this right at the top of the show. June8610 said the straight of Hormuz is closed again. Uh multiple other uh insiders were saying that. So, where this is coming from is from an apparent broadcast that was sent from the IRGC in Iran to uh multiple uh heavy tanker ships in the uh in the um in the in in the Persian Gulf and straight her. This is what they heard. Uh don't put this up, Matt. I'm just going to because it's just audio. So, I'll just play this.

[00:23:48]So that's just an example of it's all it's all in Farsy uh or whatever that language is. Um but this is the translation. Quote, "Since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon and the complete lifting of the naval blockade and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States. The Straight of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met. All ships are ordered not to approach the straight of Hormuz with their own safety and health. Any vessel that defies this order will be targeted.

[00:24:19]Still trying to track down the origins of this. Right at the moment there, this is being reported by open- source uh intelligence accounts on X that are playing this uh and and discussing it.

[00:24:31]So uh don't take this as gospel right now. Well, I'm I'm going to hang back a little bit as we usually do with this kind of stuff and see if it actually is true. But these are the rumors that are going around this AM on it. I've got a lot more in Iran. Uh specifically comments from the vice president on explaining a lot of the things that we were worried about with theou. Um I'm going to get to that probably at the top of the hour when you have more time to play through some of those. Um but that's something to keep an eye on. If you see something before I do, let me know down in the insider chat. Um back to Obama. So the irritating thing to me is as someone that's actually written speeches or written TV shows, monologues, stuff like that is I get in my mind what I would love to hear from President Obama, which we'll never hear obviously. And it really irritates me on things that I would love to see in the opening of his presidential library speech. kind of like the fact that while he was railing against American businesses, saying you didn't build this, the government did. While he was vilifying corporations or anybody really that made any money for themselves, Occupy Wall Street sprung up. A lot of progressives and people on the left like to memoryhole this. They definitely don't want to talk about how everything that was copied by Occupy Wall Street later and some of the crazy street movements we see now, a lot of the people that were associated with Obama back then, they left the campaign afterwards and went into some of these organizations that are that are coordinating a lot of these uh street movements, street protests, sometimes turning violent. But uh they never attribute that to the divider and sheep ever. Even though also I would include in this monologue or speech the fact that while he was dividing America like never before while he was making everything about race every by the way if if every if you see race and everything if you believe everything is about race it's possible you're the racist it's possible just just it's just it's just possible but while this was happening black lives matter started it wasn't under Trump wasn't under Bush wasn't under Biden. It was under Obama.

[00:26:49]Two of the major radical protest groups that began and started the path on where we are now when we have these radical anti-ICE movements, no kings every other day, it seems like. Yes, they're still doing stuff started under Obama. All of that stuff started under Obama.

[00:27:07]But then n the media won't the media won't talk about that. And possibly the reason why the media sucks now is because they won't talk about anything that's so obviously true to you and me.

[00:27:18]This is even true to some of their own supporters. Did you see Tom Hanks at the opening of the Obama library? Check this out.

[00:27:25]>> Family for so long storytelling with you.

[00:27:28]>> Yeah. Thank you. Come on.

[00:27:30]>> Doris Goodwin is here. It's great to see you.

[00:27:32]>> What can I do for the 800 people watching Jacob now?

[00:27:35]>> We're live on.

[00:27:36]>> All right. add a zero to it if you need.

[00:27:39]>> I would say millions now that you're on Earth.

[00:27:40]>> All right. All right.

[00:27:41]>> How'd you feel to be here today?

[00:27:42]>> The 800 people that are watching MS Now, if you're if you're a a massive Democrat and you're in Hollywood and basically your entire job is to push left-wing propaganda and you're calling out MS Now in that manner.

[00:27:59]Yeah. Kind of shows where you're going.

[00:28:01]Back to Glenn.

[00:28:25]Welcome to the Glen Beck program. There is a um a piece of opensource uh intel audio that Jason just played for the insiders and uh I'm just going to play you just a just a bit of it. Can you just roll that tape for me, please?

[00:28:49]We have translated this um and uh it's very disturbing and it has everything to do with the Iran peace deal um is just coming out. We before I, you know, really go into this deeply, uh, 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. Um, 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.

[00:29:25]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. Um I also want to talk to people who are starting their lives. You know, it's it's been the season of graduation. Um and it's not just graduation. It's people, you know, you graduated from high school or college or you're just leaving home now. uh and you're beginning to work and you're not going to go to school because you have a different path, whatever. I I really I want to give you a message. Um 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.

[00:30:16]Let me start with the hard truth here.

[00:30:19]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.

[00:30:33]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 greatg grandmother buried children and kept going. Somebody in your bloodline crossed an ocean with a suitcase and a prayer and a couple bucks in their pocket. They didn't even speak the language.

[00:30:57]You came from people who did really hard things and they did it without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

[00:31:05]Look, the weight is real, but the despair is a sales pitch. Please don't buy into it. Now, here is the new thing.

[00:31:16]There is no graduating class or no no group of people your age um that has there's things that you have that have these people have never been told before.

[00:31:29]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.

[00:31:59]So I want you to write this down or remember this please. You are alive. It is not. Never confuse the two.

[00:32:11]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.

[00:32:30]Yet, it will really um it will never really know what it's like to be you.

[00:32:37]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.

[00:32:48]You have all of the reasons. You may not have the answers, but you have the reasons. Don't trade those away.

[00:32:55]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. I I just 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.

[00:33:18]It's a secret the wise have known for thousands of years. Knowledge is not wisdom and wisdom is not God.

[00:33:29]You know there 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.

[00:33:43]And God is the reason you loved the child enough to warn them in the first place. Which floor do you live on?

[00:33:52]A search engine has knowledge. Your grandmother had wisdom.

[00:33:57]Don't confuse the two. And don't worship either one of them.

[00:34:04]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.

[00:34:35]Share.

[00:34:37]Tell the truth. Say you're sorry and mean it. Don't take what isn't yours.

[00:34:44]Clean up your mess. Yours. Not the internet. Yours.

[00:34:50]Don't hit. Use your words.

[00:34:53]When somebody falls down, help them up.

[00:34:56]Don't stand over them filming it.

[00:35:00]Hold hands when you cross the dangerous part. Take a nap when you're cranky.

[00:35:05]Honestly, I really think half the adults screaming on television and on the internet, they just need a nap in a juice box.

[00:35:13]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.

[00:35:39]So while we're looking up, let me say this. There is a God and it's not you.

[00:35:46]It's not me.

[00:35:49]Strangely, I think this is the best news anyone can ever get. I'm not God.

[00:35:54]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.

[00:36:02]And when I talk about God, I'm not telling you to join a church. Church is the building.

[00:36:08]I'm telling you to find the architect because you're not an accident.

[00:36:13]You know, a universe of cold math does not produce a soul that weeps at music by accident. You were made. And you were made on purpose. You, not just man, you.

[00:36:26]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.

[00:36:36]You might have to search. I mean, I searched for 35 years and I still am trying to I still am searching and I'm still finding more reasons what I'm supposed to do and why I'm alive.

[00:36:47]Knowledge will puff you up. Wisdom will calm you down, but God will set you free.

[00:36:55]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.

[00:37:11]What is courage?

[00:37:13]What is it?

[00:37:15]The men who signed the Declaration of Independence, they were not marble statues. Half of them were kids.

[00:37:21]Let me give you a perspective on the founding fathers. You know, Monroe took a musk ball crossing the Delaware at 18.

[00:37:29]18. Lafayette crossed an ocean to bleed for a country that wasn't even his. Do you know how old Lafayette Lafayette?

[00:37:39]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.

[00:37:54]Nathan Hail.

[00:37:56]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.

[00:38:03]Nobody's ever ready. Readiness is a myth that confident people sell to nervous people.

[00:38:10]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.

[00:38:29]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.

[00:39:24]They're pretending they've got it all figured out. They don't. Nobody does.

[00:39:29]Then hold your word. Hold your friends.

[00:39:31]Hold the line.

[00:39:34]And everybody else is letting go. Hold the line on what you know to be true.

[00:39:39]Build and do not destroy. Anyone can burn a barn, but it takes a carpenter and a whole community to raise one.

[00:39:46]Tearing down is loud. It's easy. And it's the shest sign of a small soul.

[00:39:52]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 that you'll never sit in, it's that.

[00:40:11]And know this, somebody is making money off your anger. The machine in your pocket was tuned to keep your you furious because a furious person doesn't build. They just scroll and see. And a generation that only sees can be sold to, lied to, ruled. So reject that game.

[00:40:31]I know everybody wants to be a rebel.

[00:40:33]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.

[00:40:47]Your parents or grandparents rebelled with loud music. You get to rebel with peace. Yours is much cooler.

[00:40:55]Hatred is the easiest religion in the world.

[00:40:59]It doesn't ask anything of you but your attention.

[00:41:03]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.

[00:41:15]Is there 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.

[00:41:33]And a lot of you are already done with them. You don't want the noise. You want something real. They're not naive.

[00:41:40]That's the oldest wisdom there is.

[00:41:42]coming home.

[00:41:44]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.

[00:41:57]I've had them the whole time.

[00:42:00]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 pen is in your hand and the page is blank and nobody nobody gets to write what comes next but you.

[00:42:22]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.

[00:42:32]So question and speak. Learn and heal.

[00:42:34]Lift and hold. Build and don't destroy.

[00:42:37]Find the architect. Share your snacks.

[00:42:40]Take a nap.

[00:42:42]Be kind on purpose.

[00:42:45]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.

[00:42:54]Live.

[00:42:56]You are alive. It is not.

[00:43:01]Now go prove it.

[00:44:30]Glenn Beck back in a moment.

[00:44:45]>> Welcome back to the Torch Insider Show.

[00:44:47]Pivoting back over to breaking news now and what's happening with the Iran deal.

[00:44:52]Um I just saw from the New York Post is now uh reporting what we were just talking about. So, it sounds like they are confirming that uh recording that we uh played on air and uh they're saying the New York Post is saying it's a statement that was read over maritime radio channels.

[00:45:10]Um and then referenced the IR it was from the IRGC. So, it's sounding like that is legit. That's real. Um question is what happens now? Uh from this is from CNN like a little Tik Tok on the latest and what's happening with the negotiations. So the talks have now been that I I mentioned yesterday that the real work on what Glenn was talking about or trying to describe as ruthless diplomacy is what should happen next.

[00:45:34]That was supposed to happen today. Um but now those talks have been delayed.

[00:45:39]Um we know that uh JD Vance was uh was supposed to be headed towards uh um where was that? Was it in Geneva? I can't remember where that was supposed to be. Um he was supposed to be on his way over there to do that. Now he is not on his way over there. So that first round has been delayed. Um, and you see why they're saying here on CNN, as Thrron seeks guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon will end before it resumes negotiations.

[00:46:04]This enrages me like nothing else. Especially since I've been to Israel, I've noticed how the mainstream media firsthand treats what happens in Israel and how they never report the attacks that come over versus how Israel responds. They only switch the cameras on or talk about when Israel responds. It's absolutely ridiculous. No other nation is treated like this. It's It's only Israel. Um this is from NBC News. Israel and Hezbollah agree to a ceasefire. Another one. Does it even matter? Does it matter if they have a ceasefire or not? No, it doesn't because Hezbollah, which let's just say Iran, does not care. They're going to violate it anyway. This this mentions that vice president J Vance had canceled his trans uh plan travel to Switzerland for for the negotiations.

[00:46:57]Um, listen to this. This is talking about what this is what's ticking Iran off.

[00:47:04]earlier. Intense new Israeli strikes in Lebanon cast doubts on the deal to end the war. Listen to how they describe that. Intense new Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

[00:47:16]That's pretty much all they talk about.

[00:47:20]Though they did they do say that Israel said it launched the attacks in response. Oh, okay. This is good. To the killing of four soldiers. I like how they talk about that. It's like, "Oh, well, you know, at first, a couple paragraphs earlier, it was just because Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Three paragraphs down, oh yeah, by the way, Hezbollah attacked Israel and killed four soldiers."

[00:47:43]Now, that is the headline. That's what you lead with. Iran and their proxy Hezbollah for no reason whatsoever except for for to derail the the talks and get more concessions. That's how the That's how the head the head headline should be four Israel Israeli soldiers killed by Iran through Hezbollah. The sub headline should be to derail the talks and get more concessions. If NBC News was a legit news organization, that's how the article would read. But it does not. Instead, you got to go to places like the New York Post that their main uh uh um title is four IDF soldiers killed by Hezbollah drone strike in Lebanon.

[00:48:25]the media. I know we say this enough, but if you don't hate You really don't hate the mainstream media enough. I know we I know we all could agree, no, no, we pretty much hate them. No, we don't hate them enough. This is stupid. It's going to continue and probably get a lot worse with how they're covering this. Back to Glenn.

[00:48:55]Wow, we have so much we have to cover.

[00:48:57]Um, Tulsi Gabbert just dropped another bombshell. Um, which makes the bombshell she dropped last week make more sense.

[00:49:05]Um, and I have to go through that. But also, we are getting reports now that the audio I played for you is real. I'm going to give you the full translation what it means. Not anything good. Um, but the New York Post is now verifying that it is coming from the IRGC.

[00:49:22]Um, and um, how Trump is going to respond is going to be interesting here on the day that we're supposed to have the peace deal signed and moving forward. Uh, it'll be interesting to see if he moves forward now. More on that next.

[00:49:57]Welcome back. It is the Torch Insider Show. We've got a lot of time here at the top of the hour typical uh segment where we get a little bit more time to to play some audio, play some video, and go a little bit deeper in depth on what's happening in Iran. Um, I'm saving this for the first long segment so we can move on from this and and and hopefully have a little bit more fun heading into the weekend. Uh, and a and a and a father's day weekend at that.

[00:50:20]Happy Father's Day uh ahead of time for all the fathers out there. Um, I want to go through all of, you know, some of the current news. We just did the, you know, the delayed talks. Um, we did the message from the IRGC. um potentially well it sounds like they're back to the straits are now closed. We'll see how the US Navy responds to that. We'll see how the uh you know the Trump administration responds to that. But I also want to play for you because we had yesterday we went through a lot of the points of the of theou. We also went through some of the concerns that we have within theou and just reiterating what I said yesterday. I think it's unfair to even talk about, you know, or or to get def, you know, definite definitive conclusions on an MOU because a lot of that stuff is legally mumbo jumbo. A lot of that coming from the Treasury. Some of that probably being manipulated by the State Department to make sure that, you know, the Iranians don't get scared and leave the table or never even come to the table. So, a lot to be worked out, but I think there's a lot of people rushing to or jumping to conclusions on what our intentions are for the end of this. what's going to happen at the end. What do we get out of it? What is Iran held to? So, I want to play directly from the Trump administration. This is from uh it's going to come from the vice president yesterday at the podium addressing some of the concerns that we had. Um before I play some of those, let's look at this.

[00:51:48]This is interesting. So, um I got a few comments yesterday that I didn't even really have time to to go into further, but there were multiple people. I think Michelle, the mountains, you might have been one there. And there was a couple more that were talking about what's going on with the power struggle within Iran. Could this deal possibly be uh, you know, inflaming that power struggle within Iran? Because I think Glenn and I both have been saying from the get-go that it's interesting how these delay tactics going over the several several months has really drawn this out in the open. You have, you know, members of the IRGC falling a little bit, then rising a little bit. The political the, you know, the political diplomats, the president, the head of parliament, some of those guys at times have seemed like they've risen in power, then dropped in power.

[00:52:37]There's clearly a struggle right now.

[00:52:40]Well, Iran released yesterday a written statement from the new Gayatollah. I'm sorry, the Ayatollah. from the new Ayatollah who uh apparently wrote this letter himself.

[00:52:54]Now, do we know? No.

[00:52:58]No one's seen him. No one's heard from him, but we do apparently have a letter.

[00:53:05]You know, it could have been written by the 12th imam himself from the well.

[00:53:09]We're not entirely sure, but uh apparently he wrote this letter. I don't think it even matters because this is more from like the IRG's perspect IRGC's perspective because they are the ones that are you know uh lock step with the gay I'm sorry I am sorry the Ayatollah they're in lock step with the Ayatollah but the Ayatollah has said that he did approve allegedly supposedly this framework thisou Do
