On Jan. 5, 2026, he will launch the Glenn and Tania Beck Foundation for American History, a privately funded trust, to make his collection of over a million documents accessible to everyone. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThis is my next and final step in my career, and it is the culmination of everything that I have done and built,\u201d Beck said. \u201cThis is the moment that I try to pass the torch to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The new platform, called \u201cThe Torch,\u201d will feature an AI \u201clibrarian\u201d named George that will base responses exclusively on the words of George Washington, the writings of other Founding Fathers, the books they would have read and the sermons they would have heard, Beck said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Unlike other large language models, like ChatGPT, The Torch will not have \u201challucinations,\u201d or the ability to make false claims, according to Beck, because it will respond based directly on primary source historical documents. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beck envisions The Torch being used as a teaching resource that connects Americans with the beliefs, values and intentions of the country\u2019s founders, in their own words, instead of through modern interpretations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThis is the final chapter of my career, to try to restore curiosity,\u201d Beck said. \u201cTry to restore the ability to ask questions about history and then get honest results back without any bias, just based on actual documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is Glenn Beck retiring? <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beck has long harbored concerns about AI, often speaking to his audience about the potential for AI to boost government surveillance programs, control investment portfolios and rewrite history. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">But by developing his own proprietary AI database, Beck hopes he can utilize AI to permanently preserve \u201cthe physical evidence of America\u2019s soul,\u201d providing unique insight into the nation\u2019s exceptional beginnings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beck\u2019s physical archive is currently split between multiple locations, including vaults at his Texas and Idaho residences. Beck says he has now created a \u201cdigital vault,\u201d where historical documents are registered on a blockchain, prohibiting future tampering. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cSo these facts and artifacts will never, ever be lost, unless you want to shut down the entire internet,\u201d Beck said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Torch will be made available as an app, or through glennbeck.com, on Jan. 5, 2026, with plans for significant expansion throughout the year marking this 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beck <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/politics\/2025\/10\/10\/glenn-beck-says-he-wanted-to-give-his-radio-media-empire-to-charlie-kirk-at-turning-point-usa-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/politics\/2025\/10\/10\/glenn-beck-says-he-wanted-to-give-his-radio-media-empire-to-charlie-kirk-at-turning-point-usa-event\/\">clarified that he is not retiring<\/a> from his radio program, but suggested that he will be focusing on in-depth investigations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Torch will also give users access to over 30 years of Beck content \u2014 his entire \u201clife\u2019s work\u201d \u2014 including every radio show, book, video and speech Beck has produced since becoming a talk show star. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Since starting the Glenn Beck program in 2000, Beck has gained the nation\u2019s fourth largest radio audience of around 8.75 million, while also hosting key time slots on CNN and Fox News, and founding Blaze Media. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">On Monday, Beck, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said he recently realized he was meant to accomplish much more work during his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI can now turn to what I want to do, which is my next disruption and my next creative venture, because as a nation we are now suffering from a lack of true education,\u201d Beck said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glenn Beck said he will focus the remainder of his career on increasing access to his collection of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":337320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,738,1681,974,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-337319","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-news-division","11":"tag-news-feed-national","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115449240172840436","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
