Glenn Beck has quietly rolled out something the mainstream media will sneer at and the left will try to banish, but patriotic Americans should pay attention: a new AI “George” — an artificial intelligence voice and avatar of George Washington — is being built as part of Beck’s larger project called The Torch. Beck says the platform will be backed by the Glenn and Tania Beck Foundation for American History and is meant to make his vast collection of founding documents available to the public beginning in January 2026.
This isn’t another woke classroom lecture repackaged by bureaucrats; Beck insists George is trained only on primary source material — letters, sermons, books and the actual words of the Founders — and will act as an AI librarian that points students to first-source truth. He’s also building a so-called digital vault, with documents registered and preserved so future generations can’t have their history quietly rewritten by academic elites or tech censors.
Beck even aired a preview interview where he sat across from the George AI avatar and asked it to speak plainly about America’s troubles, and what came back was a moral call to responsibility — not leftist hand-wringing or technocratic nostrums. When the AI answered that the country’s rot is moral and spiritual in nature, Beck admitted he asked it to say it in today’s language so people would actually listen. That exchange shows this project is meant to reconnect citizens with virtue, not to puppet the public.
Conservatives should be honest: the left has weaponized education and culture for decades, and someone finally building an alternative that leans on original documents is worth supporting. Beck claims his collection is among the largest private holdings of founding-era material in the country, and turning that trove into a teaching tool is exactly the kind of private-sector muscle the Right needs to push back against the government schools and revisionist historians. This is how you defend a free civilization — with truth, not mandates.
Of course the media loved to mock the avatar’s look and the uncanny voice, calling it bizarre and accusing the AI of simply echoing Beck’s own talking points. Let them scoff while they empty classrooms of patriotism; elite mockery has always been the first refuge of a losing argument. The practical question isn’t whether the avatar looks like a podcast guest — it’s whether the platform preserves the record and teaches kids the Constitution and the Federalist Papers as the Framers intended.
Beck has been candid about the limits: he said compute costs are high and that early on he might have to personally shepherd interviews as the system scales. That honesty matters. Conservatives don’t need silicon-utopian fairy tales; we need tools that actually work to educate ordinary Americans and hand them the facts so they can think for themselves. If The Torch can do that, it’s a win for every parent who wants their child to know what America truly stands for.
Patriots should stop waiting for permission from gated institutions and start supporting projects that preserve and teach our founding principles. If Glenn Beck’s George AI and The Torch light a path away from corruption and towards civic literacy, hardworking Americans ought to rally behind it, test it, and use it to pass the torch of liberty to the next generation. The fight for truth is a civic duty; building the tools to win it is how we keep this republic.
