Hey, today's Father's Day Spectacular. Not really. It was the same show. I just put that label on it. A commencement address for anybody who is 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, well, she lit a fuse, if I will. She lit a fuse. And it's a bombshell. 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.

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 going to play you just a bit of it. You can 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 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 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 the 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 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 group of people your age. There are things that these people have never been told before. You are the first generation in all of human history to graduate or to start a 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.
