Glenn Beck is launching a new foundation for American history and education, called “The Torch”, to pair with his TheBlaze media empire.
To begin his show on Monday morning, Beck shared his intentions to launch the new foundation with an educational background on American history in mind early next year.
“As a nation, we are we are now suffering from a lack of true education, true individual empowerment, and true non-governmental rescue,” he shared. “In January, I am launching the Glenn and Tania Beck Foundation for American History. It is a privately funded trust that will continue to do in an accelerated fashion what I began almost 20 years ago.
“For nearly two decades, I have been collecting the physical evidence of America’s soul, the documents, the letters, the artifacts that tell the true story of who we are. And it’s amazing to me, after 20 years, how big this thing has gotten, and how few people, even in my own audience, really know what it is, because we haven’t really unveiled it, except in glimpses here and there.”
Glenn Beck noted that his collection is now the “third largest private collection of founding documents in the world,” ranging from artifacts from the Pilgrims and the Jamestown colony to over a million documents and items of “evidence of the greatness of the American experiment.”
Beck shared that his daily radio show, which is available on TheBlaze and BlazeTV, is not going away.
“This is the next chapter — the final chapter — of my career. To try to restore curiosity, try to restore the ability to ask questions about history and then get honest results back without any bias, just based on actual documents. And all of it begins appropriately at the beginning of the 250 year of our nation’s founding now. This show that you hear, the radio show, will still be heard on radio and on Blaze TV.”
He concluded by teasing upcoming additions to his show and network.
“BlazeTV is going to be announcing some very exciting new expansions very soon,” Beck shared. “The app is going to have a completely new addition. We’re in beta testing right now. I hope it is going to be shocking in its usefulness.”

WOW this sounds exciting. I have been a public school teacher, a mentor teacher and developed history curriculum that involves kids actually setting up a pioneer camp. How can I get involved?
