Glenn Beck has rolled out a surprise: a promo interview with “George AI,” an artificial-intelligence recreation of George Washington built from the Founders’ writings and intended as part of his new civics project. Beck says the system draws only on historical documents in his private collection and will live inside a new app called The Torch, designed to teach American history in a way the mainstream media refuses to.
Unsurprisingly, the left-leaning media pounced, accusing the AI of simply echoing Beck himself rather than the Founders, as if pointing out that a conservative voice inspired by America’s roots were an intellectual crime. Beck pushed back hard, calling the charge impossible and insisting there is a firewall between his own input and the George AI models — a convenient talking point for anyone who still believes media narratives before the facts.
Online reaction has been equal parts amusement and derision, with critics fixating on the avatar’s surprising gym-ready look or mocking the notion of digitally resurrecting founding figures. Social feeds compared the CGI Washington to everything from a tech bro to a video-game character, proving once again that the left will weaponize aesthetics and mockery to distract from substance.
Listen to what the AI actually said, though, and you get old-fashioned warnings about virtue, self-governance, and the danger of hollowing out a nation — themes sorely absent from the modern curriculum and the corporate media’s playbook. The George AI’s critique of moral decline and misplaced global priorities is pulled straight from the Founders’ playbook, and that discomfort explains why some on the left reflexively call it “extremist” when it simply defends American exceptionalism.
This stunt — if you insist on calling it that — is actually clever political theater wrapped in serious civic education. Conservatives have watched institutions abandon history and character for decades; creating an accessible digital teacher that brings the Founders’ words back into the conversation is a patriotic response, not a gimmick. If the choice is between passive despair over cultural decay and building tools to reclaim our narrative, conservatives should choose bold action every time.
The predictable media tantrum says more about their own fear of ideas than it does about Beck’s project. When a conservative proposes teaching Americans the virtues that undergird liberty, the establishment prefers sneers and labels to debate — which tells you this experiment is striking a nerve.
Let them laugh at the wig and the pecs; the real argument is over whether a nation without character can long remain free. Glenn Beck is giving people a jaw-dropping, unapologetic tool to reintroduce the Founders’ thinking into public life, and for those who still believe America is worth saving, that is exactly the kind of bold, unapologetic work we should be encouraging.
