00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:00:06.240 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:00:10.360 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:00:15.680 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:00:20.400 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:00:25.660 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:00:30.000 Hey, today's Father's Day Spectacular.

00:00:34.220 Not really.

00:00:35.220 It was the same show.

00:00:36.260 I just put that label on it, you know.

00:00:38.840 A commencement address for anybody who is, you know, starting out their life.

00:00:44.160 Whether you just graduated from high school, college, or you're just starting out or starting over.

00:00:49.280 Kind of a commencement address for the summer.

00:00:51.820 Also, Tulsi left a, well, she lit a fuse, if I will. 0.99

00:00:57.480 She lit a fuse.

00:00:58.620 and it's a bombshell

00:01:01.140 and it has serious ramifications

00:01:03.980 and I want to talk to you

00:01:05.740 about those serious ramifications

00:01:07.200 and what she left

00:01:08.900 based on the original documents

00:01:11.380 not on news reports

00:01:13.720 because they're not getting this right

00:01:15.460 and also it's Father's Day

00:01:18.020 what does it mean to be a father

00:03:22.500 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program welcome to the glenn beck program there

00:03:33.700 is a piece of open source intel audio that jason just played for the insiders and i'm just going

00:03:42.700 to play you just a just a bit of it you can just roll that tape for me please

00:03:47.060 We have translated this and it's very disturbing and it has everything to do with the Iran peace deal is just coming out.

00:04:05.860 Before I 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.

00:04:22.540 But it has deep ramifications.

00:04:24.640 I just want to make sure that it's absolutely real before we go into any further.

00:04:28.900 So I want you to know we are aware of this breaking news.

00:04:31.280 It is not breaking on any network or television station.

00:04:35.860 It's just, it's all over the internet now.

00:04:38.240 And so I'm very skeptical,

00:04:39.600 but I want you to know I'm aware of it

00:04:41.320 and we're gonna try to track it down

00:04:42.700 before the end of the program.

00:04:44.340 I also wanna talk to people who are starting their lives.

00:04:47.900 You know, it's been the season of graduation

00:04:50.320 and it's not just graduation.

00:04:53.480 It's people, you know, you graduate from high school

00:04:55.160 or college or you're just leaving home now

00:04:57.220 and you're beginning to work

00:04:59.160 and you're not gonna go to school

00:05:00.440 because you have a different path, whatever.

00:05:02.120 I really, I want to give you a message, because I think for a lot of you, there is 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.

00:05:20.000 I mean, I don't think I'm ready.

00:05:22.720 Let me start with the hard truth here.

00:05:24.960 Life is hard.

00:05:26.180 It is.

00:05:26.660 It's just not as hard as people profiting from your panic need you to believe.

00:05:31.040 It's not.

00:05:32.120 The hardness is real.

00:05:34.660 The hopelessness is a product.

00:05:38.660 Don't buy into that.

00:05:40.800 There's an entire industry whose only job is to convince you

00:05:44.140 that just being alive right now is the heaviest thing a human has ever carried.

00:05:50.080 It's not. It's not.

00:05:51.700 Your great-grandmother buried children and kept going.

00:05:55.680 Somebody in your bloodline crossed an ocean with a suitcase and a prayer

00:05:59.400 and a couple bucks in their pocket.

00:06:00.880 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 wait is real, but the despair is a sales pitch. Please don't buy into it.

00:06:18.760 now here is the new thing there is no graduating class or no no group of people your age

00:06:26.740 um that has there's things that you have that have these people have never been told before

00:06:33.820 you are the first generation in all of human history to graduate or to start your life

00:06:41.620 and live your whole life beside a mind that is not alive. 0.93

00:06:47.480 And you know what I mean, it's sitting in your pocket.

00:06:50.460 It can write your essay, it can paint your picture,

00:06:53.060 it can pass your exams,

00:06:54.320 it can answer almost anything you ask it

00:06:56.200 faster than you can finish the question.

00:06:58.900 And a lot of people are quietly terrified

00:07:01.760 that it has already made you obsolete.

00:07:05.440 So I want you to write this down or remember this, please.

00:07:09.360 You are alive.

00:07:11.620 It is not.

00:07:13.360 Never confuse the two.

00:07:16.780 The machine that we have right now in your pocket

00:07:19.660 that can read every book ever written,

00:07:22.920 but it has never once been afraid of the dark.

00:07:26.260 It can know everything and understand nothing.

00:07:30.560 It will know more about you by Tuesday,

00:07:34.400 Yet, it will never really know what it's like to be you

00:07:41.860 And that's not your weakness

00:07:44.720 That's the entire point of you

00:07:47.560 It has all of the answers, but not a single reason to get out of bed

00:07:52.540 You have all of the reasons

00:07:55.540 You may not have the answers, but you have the reasons

00:07:58.000 Don't trade those away

00:07:59.940 Let it carry the facts

00:08:02.460 but you have to carry the meaning and that's always been the better job honestly i mean facts

00:08:08.660 whatever i just what date was that who was it that led that war what was fine the meaning behind it

00:08:16.840 is what's human and important because here's the secret the machine accidentally just taught the

00:08:22.420 whole world it's a secret the wise have known for thousands of years knowledge is not wisdom

00:08:30.400 and wisdom is not God.

00:08:35.120 You know, there are three different floors

00:08:37.440 and most people spend their life

00:08:39.420 just living on the wrong one.

00:08:41.660 Knowledge tells you that the stove is hot.

00:08:45.420 Wisdom tells you, warn the child.

00:08:48.880 And God is the reason you love the child enough

00:08:52.360 to warn them in the first place.

00:08:54.400 Which floor do you live on?

00:08:57.760 A search engine has knowledge.

00:09:00.400 Your grandmother had wisdom.

00:09:03.420 Don't confuse the two.

00:09:06.000 And don't worship either one of them.

00:09:10.440 The good news is,

00:09:12.960 you don't need that machine for the part of life that matters.

00:09:19.740 Because everything you actually need to live a good life,

00:09:23.300 you already had by the first grade.

00:09:25.980 You know, you just spent 16 years at a fortune

00:09:29.520 helping you to forget everything that you knew,

00:09:32.320 all the common sense.

00:09:33.360 You want proof?

00:09:34.560 You already know all of these.

00:09:36.140 And this is the secret to a successful

00:09:38.400 and happy and joyous life.

00:09:41.520 Share.

00:09:43.160 Tell the truth.

00:09:45.240 Say you're sorry and mean it.

00:09:47.600 Don't take what isn't yours.

00:09:50.540 Clean up your mess. 0.94

00:09:52.420 Yours.

00:09:53.100 Not the internet.

00:09:54.280 Yours.

00:09:56.040 Don't hit.

00:09:57.020 Use your words.

00:09:57.680 when somebody falls down help them up don't stand over them filming it

00:10:04.360 hold hands when you cross the dangerous part take a nap when you're cranky honestly i really think

00:10:12.900 half the adults screaming on television and on the internet they just need a nap and a juice box

00:10:17.620 but you knew all of this by the time you were six you knew it before you could read because

00:10:24.320 answers to life are not that complicated we make them complicated because because simple truth is

00:10:32.480 impossible to sell and no fun to argue about on a panel show that simple knowing that's wisdom

00:10:40.200 and wisdom always points up

00:10:43.360 so while we're looking up let me say this there is a god and it's not you it's not me

00:10:53.700 strangely i think this is the best news anyone can ever get i'm not god because it means you

00:11:00.840 don't have to carry the weight of the world you were never strong enough you were never asked to

00:11:05.480 be strong enough and when i talk about god i'm not telling you to join a church church is the

00:11:11.960 building i'm telling you to find the architect because you're not an accident you know a universe

00:11:20.300 of cold math does not produce a soul that weeps at music by accident you were made and you are

00:11:27.080 made on purpose you not just man you and somewhere underneath all that noise purpose is still waiting

00:11:35.420 for you to get quiet enough to hear it i'm telling you you will find it you will find it you might

00:11:42.740 have to search i mean i searched for 35 years and i still am trying to i still am searching and i'm

00:11:48.920 still finding more reasons what I'm supposed to do

00:11:51.900 and why I'm alive.

00:11:53.620 Knowledge will puff you up.

00:11:55.500 Wisdom will calm you down, but God will set you free.

00:12:01.280 Let me talk a little bit about that fear

00:12:03.040 about not being ready.

00:12:04.620 People who built everything that you admire,

00:12:07.620 they were not braver than you.

00:12:09.460 They were just, they were scared and busy at the same time.

00:12:16.900 What is courage?

00:12:18.920 What is it?

00:12:21.320 The men who signed the Declaration of Independence,

00:12:23.600 they were not marble statues.

00:12:25.160 Half of them were kids.

00:12:27.800 Let me give you a perspective on the founding fathers.

00:12:30.240 You know, Monroe took a musket ball

00:12:32.920 crossing the Delaware at 18.

00:12:35.380 18.

00:12:36.840 Lafayette crossed an ocean to bleed for a country

00:12:39.320 that wasn't even his.

00:12:40.840 Do you know how old Lafayette?

00:12:43.160 Lafayette.

00:12:45.120 Lafayette.

00:12:46.020 The guy who, if we didn't have,

00:12:47.740 we might not have won the war.

00:12:50.060 Do you know how old he was when he came over and said,

00:12:52.540 this is not my country, but I'm going to help you defend it?

00:12:55.100 He was 19.

00:12:57.180 That's a sophomore.

00:12:59.940 Nathan Hale.

00:13:02.200 I've only got one life to give.

00:13:04.260 That's his only regret.

00:13:05.280 Do you know how old he was when he said that?

00:13:07.060 21.

00:13:09.500 Nobody's ever ready.

00:13:11.000 Readiness is a myth that confident people

00:13:13.120 sell to nervous people.

00:13:14.500 the whole fragile beautiful thing has always been carried forward by

00:13:21.140 frightened frightened young people who just did the next right thing anyway

00:13:26.100 so if you're getting ready to start your life let me give you four things write them down

00:13:34.240 question and speak ask the most dangerous questions the kind that cost something especially

00:13:41.080 you cost you something because that's when you find what's true and then you say it out loud in

00:13:47.480 the room when it goes quiet but speak build never to wound but to build to heal the goal the goal

00:13:55.380 of a true thing is never to win it is to heal so learn and heal the world is not victims and

00:14:03.020 villains it's not it's you know what it is mostly tired people carrying things you can't see

00:14:09.120 so listen to them before you condemn them

00:14:12.520 get curious before you get furious

00:14:14.420 then heal what you can reach

00:14:16.960 not the whole world

00:14:17.680 just the wound that is actually yours to tend to

00:14:20.400 start small, start near, start now

00:14:22.760 lift up, hold

00:14:24.660 lift the person next to you

00:14:26.900 they're pretending they've got it all figured out

00:14:32.160 they don't, nobody does

00:14:34.360 then hold your word

00:14:36.540 hold your friends, hold the line

00:14:38.420 and everybody else is letting go hold the line on what you know to be true build and do not destroy

00:14:47.100 anyone can burn a barn but it takes a carpenter and a whole community to raise one tearing down

00:14:53.660 is loud it's easy and it's the surest sign of a small soul the people who built the great

00:15:00.160 cathedrals knew they'd die before that spire even touched the sky but they built it anyway

00:15:04.880 for a stranger that was 600 years away from them that you want to talk about planting trees

00:15:12.620 one shade you'll never sit in it's that and know this somebody is making money off your anger

00:15:19.340 the machine in your pocket was tuned to keep your few furious because a furious person doesn't build

00:15:26.600 they just scroll and seethe and a generation that only seethes can be sold to lied to ruled

00:15:34.200 So, reject that game.

00:15:37.760 I know everybody wants to be a rebel.

00:15:39.320 Well, that's your rebellion.

00:15:40.740 In a world that desperately needs you to be outraged and pissed off and burn things down,

00:15:46.520 a settled heart is the most dangerous.

00:15:48.880 It's the most defiant thing you can carry.

00:15:52.600 Your parents or grandparents rebelled with loud music.

00:15:56.600 You get to rebel with peace.

00:15:58.880 Yours is much cooler.

00:15:59.820 hatred is the easiest religion in the world

00:16:03.640 it doesn't ask anything of you

00:16:06.760 but your attention

00:16:07.620 and it will take your one

00:16:10.800 and only life

00:16:12.060 and spend it on people

00:16:13.380 who will never know your name

00:16:15.380 don't give it to them

00:16:17.840 is there something that I believe

00:16:22.820 and I believe it to the marrow of my bones 0.99

00:16:26.100 you're not the generation

00:16:28.280 that ruins it

00:16:29.340 you're not the generation that loses it

00:16:31.680 you're the generation born exactly

00:16:33.820 late enough to fix it

00:16:35.640 you've seen the game closer than

00:16:37.660 any of us did and a lot

00:16:39.760 of you are already done with them

00:16:40.960 you don't want the noise you want something

00:16:43.560 real you're not naive

00:16:45.800 that's the oldest wisdom there

00:16:47.720 is coming home

00:16:49.540 when that little voice

00:16:51.840 says the world is broken and you're not ready 1.00

00:16:53.820 you tell it the truth

00:16:55.980 the world's always been

00:16:57.880 a little broken i was never going to be ready the answers are simple i've had them the whole time

00:17:05.180 there is a god and it's not me and i'm going to build anyway no matter what you say i'm not too

00:17:11.760 late i didn't miss it the story isn't over the story the story has been waiting for people in

00:17:17.560 my generation and the pin is in your hand and the page is blank and nobody nobody gets to write what

00:17:24.700 comes next, but you. I have to tell you, we've been waiting for you. We don't always treat you

00:17:32.200 like it, but we have. You are the one. You are the generation. So question and speak, learn and heal,

00:17:40.740 lift and hold, build and don't destroy. Find the architect, share your snacks, take a nap,

00:17:48.120 be kind on purpose. And whatever that machine in your pocket ever tells you, remember one thing,

00:17:54.440 it can never do. The one word that is yours and yours alone. Live. You are alive. It is not.

00:18:06.900 Now, go prove it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:18:14.480 Boy, I got to tell you, we were just kicking around theories and I'm going to share them

00:18:18.820 with you maybe on Monday. Let's get some more information, but we're just kicking around

00:18:22.020 theories uh during the insider break and uh there there could be some very interesting things

00:18:28.680 happening here again just theories but we'll talk about that on monday let's get some more facts

00:18:33.200 and watch what happens anyway i want to tell you what happened yesterday on our very last day as

00:18:38.320 the director of uh national intelligence tulsi gabbard didn't pack up her office and slip quietly

00:18:43.980 into the night she walked out that door and she dropped a bomb actually two bombs one right after

00:18:51.400 the other last week she released the first one and we were talking on the air last week saying

00:18:56.440 why didn't she include any of the fauci stuff because that was this week last week declassified

00:19:03.120 intelligence proving that the united states government has been funding and operating

00:19:08.280 more than 120 biological laboratories in over 30 countries around the world

00:19:13.500 including facilities in ukraine that were handling some of the most dangerous pathogens on earth 0.53

00:19:18.980 they're still there why we won't burn those out why we don't get rid of those and literally take 0.90

00:19:25.700 a flamethrower to those in a country where there's a war what are we insane sorry rhetorical question

00:19:32.440 now for years officials including people tied to anthony fauci and the previous administration

00:19:38.640 looked at the american people looked us right in the eye and lied they said none of this stuff was

00:19:43.820 happening. And they called people like me a conspiracy theorist or somebody that was just

00:19:49.660 giving out misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and I was dangerous. Then

00:19:56.280 yesterday, her final day, she released a second set of documents. And this one doesn't just connect

00:20:01.960 the dots. It lights all the dots on fire. These papers show before COVID ever escaped, Anthony

00:20:09.640 Fauci's NIAID was sending American taxpayer dollars through EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan

00:20:19.420 Institute of Virology to conduct risky research on bat coronaviruses. We told you this. We did a

00:20:27.840 whole special on this right at, I mean, within six months of COVID coming out, we had all this.

00:20:35.480 We didn't have the documents she just handed yesterday to you.

00:20:42.760 They were doing research on all kinds of really deadly things,

00:20:47.740 combining parts of this and combining it with that

00:20:50.540 to see if it could infect human cells.

00:20:53.260 Research that multiple experts have called,

00:20:56.760 see if you've ever heard this before, gain-of-function work.

00:21:01.220 Research that came with warnings.

00:21:03.060 state department cables from 2018 that the lab in wuhan had dangerously inadequate safety protocols

00:21:09.500 all of this now is out in the documents the documents also show that fauci personally

00:21:15.220 engaged with the intelligence community on origin questions june 2021 he sat in on a secure briefing

00:21:22.880 where they discussed sick researchers at the wuhan lab late 2019 we told you all of this

00:21:29.320 the early panic and chaos in china he recommended for the uh the the scientist for the ic

00:21:37.820 to uh to talk to months later under oath before congress he claimed no i have no idea the

00:21:47.960 intelligence agencies are talking to what what i don't know there's no intelligence at all about

00:21:53.680 viral research connected to COVID, we now know he lied. It's right there. Documents also reveal

00:22:01.400 how the lab leak hypothesis was treated inside the intelligence community. Analysts who leaned

00:22:08.880 toward, you know, toward it faced pressure. Some were told, in effect, their careers depended on

00:22:13.820 a lying with the preferred narrative. You stop saying that or you won't have a career in the

00:22:19.400 intelligence community whistleblowers who came forward they were marginalized or worse

00:22:24.820 may 2020 an assessment from the lawrence livermore national laboratory concluded the conditions at

00:22:30.280 wuhan lab were consistent with an accidental release of a laboratory modified coronavirus

00:22:36.020 and gave equal weight to the lab origin possibility that's not theory now these are the actual

00:22:43.560 documents do not get them from the press don't even get them from me i want you to go to the

00:22:48.420 Again, I want you to go to the Tulsi Gabbard's website now

00:22:54.580 and get them from the government website.

00:22:59.700 National Director of Intelligence.

00:23:02.640 Get them from that website.

00:23:05.120 Read the original document.

00:23:06.440 In fact, print them and save them.

00:23:09.440 Here's the connection most people are missing here.

00:23:11.440 And I believe this is why she released the Biolab documents first.

00:23:16.700 She started with a global picture because she wanted you to see the pattern

00:23:20.740 Not just one lab in one city

00:23:22.880 For years, the United States have been quietly building and funding a worldwide network of labs

00:23:27.540 Working on really dangerous stuff

00:23:29.940 Often in places with shaky oversight, political instability, or active conflict

00:23:35.020 Is there a worse place to do this than in Ukraine? 0.98

00:23:40.380 Yeah, there is, Iran

00:23:41.860 wuhan was just another node in the same ecosystem of dual use research when something went wrong

00:23:51.740 in wuhan when a virus that looks suspiciously like the kind of work that they were doing

00:23:56.520 escaped the same system that funded it and enabled it went into protection mode and not to protect

00:24:03.560 you but to protect the program the funding the reputations and the narratives i'm telling you

00:24:09.140 these people should stand trial and should at least,

00:24:12.720 if it was proven that this is what's true,

00:24:14.560 I mean, look at the documents.

00:24:18.620 All these people, you want to talk about he lied, they died.

00:24:24.780 He lied and millions died.

00:24:30.360 I mean, honestly, I would push for the death penalty. 1.00

00:24:35.400 this is one of the worst crimes against humanity i know that's why the biolabs release came first 1.00

00:24:43.200 it established this house of cards that's all over the world not just in china then the covid

00:24:48.760 documents pulled the card labeled wuhan and showed exactly how the whole thing collapsed on the world

00:24:54.420 and millions of people died not from some random act of nature that nobody could have seen coming

00:24:59.620 But from research that was funded in part with your money, conducted under conditions that American diplomats had already flagged as dangerous, then buried under layers of trust the experts, follow the science.

00:25:14.540 An attack on me is an attack on science. 0.97

00:25:17.500 and now the woman that donald trump put into place to be able to uh run the entire intelligence

00:25:27.740 community walks out on her last day and says here read it for yourself read it i'm asking you not

00:25:36.100 only to read it i'm asking you to print these documents and save them because you know and i

00:25:42.200 know that's going to happen nobody's going to jail powerful never pay for anything this big

00:25:48.980 and they should look at the body count look at the economic destruction look at the loss of of

00:25:55.720 years the shattered trust think of what has happened to our families this is the biggest

00:26:02.500 crime in human history and the people responsible are going to retire to book deals and speaking

00:26:08.180 circuits and the rest of us are still digging our lives out i understand that anger and i

00:26:14.760 understand the disgust i share the disgust but sunlight is still the best disinfectant

00:26:23.140 if god forbid we lose this election and i have to tell you because i have more to share on this

00:26:30.280 i'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow i have much more to share on this tulsi gabbard just 0.99

00:26:35.260 open the blinds on her way out and somebody else will come in and close those blinds you have to

00:26:41.560 print those documents and save them they're safe in multiple hands they have to be in they have to

00:26:47.100 be in people's hands all across the country save those documents now she didn't have to do this

00:26:54.920 she was leaving she could have kept her head down she could have collected her pension let the 0.61

00:26:58.980 machine keep grinding she could have written a book and made all kinds of money on the book

00:27:02.840 you know we all would have went why didn't you tell us this now instead she decided to hand the

00:27:08.640 american people the primary source documents that matters it matters because truth is always has a

00:27:14.740 way of working even when justice is slow or incomplete it matters because the receipts are

00:27:20.120 now public and the gaslighting is going to become harder it matters because the next time some

00:27:26.420 official tells you, trust us. We'd never do anything reckless. You have the paper trail

00:27:31.400 in your hand. Don't get this from mainstream media. Get the original documents.

00:27:41.780 So what do you do with this? Like I said, get the original documents. First, you have to refuse to

00:27:47.060 look away. Read the documents. Share the documents. Not opinions, not me, the documents.

00:27:55.280 stop letting legacy media and captured institutions frame the story for you and your family

00:28:01.380 second demand the rest of the truth full unredacted accounting of every dollar that went

00:28:08.020 went into risky pathogen research every safety failure that was ignored every law that was

00:28:15.060 broken every internal assessment that was buried or pressured and we support ending gain-of-function

00:28:22.060 research on potential pandemic pathogens, period. You have to be serious about resilience because

00:28:33.280 the people who created this mess have proven they cannot be trusted to protect you from the next

00:28:38.160 one. You have to build your own margin. You have to strengthen your own community. You have to grow

00:28:43.820 your own food. You have to know your neighbors. You have to teach your children real history

00:28:49.460 and critical thinking so they never again will outsource their mind to the experts

00:28:55.740 who have conflicts of interest the size of a pandemic.

00:29:01.120 And finally, this is the part that will separate despair from duty.

00:29:05.220 Choose courage over cynicism.

00:29:07.460 Cynicism says nothing will ever change, so why bother?

00:29:10.740 Courage says I'm not living by lies.

00:29:13.200 Even if liars never face a courtroom, I will not live by lies,

00:29:17.820 and neither will my family.

00:29:19.460 the same spirit that animated the persecuted church,

00:29:24.160 same people who lost everything,

00:29:27.820 yet they radiate joy because they know the truth,

00:29:31.520 that is available to you.

00:29:33.840 The same courage that has marked every truth teller

00:29:36.460 who stood against the machine in really dark times

00:29:39.600 is available to us.

00:29:44.340 Grab on to that truth.

00:29:45.780 tulsi gabbard lit a fuse on our way out and you know what i hope the left sees

00:29:54.340 this is the way you do it you don't burn the country down you burn away the lies that have

00:30:00.080 been choking it what we do now determines whether that light exposes the rot or whether we just let

00:30:09.500 the smoke clear and we pretend we never saw it. Millions, millions paid with their lives for the

00:30:18.900 arrogance and the cover-up. The least we can do, the very least, is to make sure their deaths are

00:30:25.180 not in vain by refusing to let the same system keep operating in the dark. This is the reckoning

00:30:32.920 and it all starts with us knowing the truth and acting like it.

00:30:39.500 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:48.480 It's Father's Day weekend, and I don't know if you feel this way,

00:30:51.460 but there are so many things I wish I would have said to my dad and my grandfather.

00:30:56.020 And they aren't here now.

00:30:58.220 So I wrote them a letter.

00:31:04.080 What I'd say by the window.

00:31:05.540 there's a chair by the window where the

00:31:10.800 light comes in early and I sit there

00:31:13.020 sometimes before the house

00:31:15.120 wakes up before the world

00:31:17.020 wants anything from me

00:31:18.200 and lately

00:31:21.120 that's where the two

00:31:23.240 of you will find me dad

00:31:24.820 grandpa

00:31:25.740 I don't know if you can hear

00:31:29.180 this never have exactly but

00:31:30.780 this weekend of all

00:31:33.060 weekends

00:31:33.580 I find I have a few things to say

00:31:37.080 and

00:31:37.480 the strange part is

00:31:40.100 now that I'm at the age that I am

00:31:42.260 I finally have the words for them

00:31:44.480 I just don't have the

00:31:46.780 have the two of you here

00:31:48.160 to hand them to

00:31:49.180 but let me try anyway

00:31:51.860 dad

00:31:54.600 I understand you now

00:31:56.880 I'm sorry

00:31:59.720 the things I once took for hardness

00:32:02.260 I see them differently now from this point.

00:32:06.700 That quiet at the end of the long day,

00:32:08.960 the worry that you wore like a coat you never took off.

00:32:14.320 I thought it was distance.

00:32:18.060 It was love with its sleeves rolled up

00:32:20.400 and too tired to say so.

00:32:25.540 I know that now because I've worn the same coat.

00:32:28.100 I've sat in the same silence

00:32:29.320 and some nights I catch myself sounding exactly like you,

00:32:32.720 which I swore I never would,

00:32:34.200 but to tell you the truth, it's the proudest I ever feel.

00:32:40.220 There are questions I meant to ask.

00:32:41.900 I figured there'd be time.

00:32:43.780 What were you afraid of?

00:32:46.240 What you wanted back before life narrowed options down?

00:32:51.700 Whether you knew, really knew how much I was watching,

00:32:54.620 taking notes, becoming you when neither of us was looking.

00:32:59.320 what I would give for just one more ordinary afternoon.

00:33:04.540 Nothing special.

00:33:09.740 Grandpa, you taught me how to tell a story.

00:33:14.700 You taught me the long view that a man plants trees he'll never sit under,

00:33:19.240 that you do the work whether anybody is keeping score,

00:33:22.140 that there are people in this world who do things a certain way,

00:33:25.060 a steady way, a decent way,

00:33:26.440 and they don't even know that the reason they do it is you.

00:33:32.400 It came down through me

00:33:33.920 and they never heard your name, but it's there.

00:33:39.000 You're still here in the grain of things.

00:33:43.760 And this Father's Day weekend,

00:33:45.280 I want both of you to know dad and grandpa.

00:33:48.600 I turned out all right.

00:33:50.860 There were rough stretches that you would have hated to watch,

00:33:54.280 but I came through them.

00:33:56.440 The faith you handed me, sometimes without a word,

00:33:59.120 just by the way you lived, held, and it's still holding.

00:34:06.160 But that's not why I sat in this chair.

00:34:08.820 I sat down, not to tell you those things,

00:34:11.580 I just sat down to say thank you.

00:34:13.500 That's all, just thank you.

00:34:16.680 For more than I knew to thank you for,

00:34:19.560 for the things I'm now only, now old enough to see.

00:34:27.400 I also wanted to tell you I can't wait to see you again.

00:34:30.080 Not soon, hopefully.

00:34:32.240 I mean, I have trees to plant, people who need me to be the man that you raised.

00:34:37.620 But someday, someday, I'll find you both on a porch in heaven,

00:34:42.540 in the light, in the window of a house I haven't seen,

00:34:49.220 there with the ones who came before you.

00:34:51.380 And I'll walk up those steps and we'll have all the afternoons we ever wanted.

00:34:56.440 Nothing special, just time enough at last to waste.

00:35:06.680 Until then, thank you.

00:35:09.640 I love you.

00:35:11.560 I'll be carrying your name around a little while longer and truly trying to do it proud.

00:35:23.360 You know, it's our fathers who teach us how to be fathers.

00:35:26.440 but they do without any words usually usually we just learn by watching

00:35:32.820 but in our time we can't take words like father for granted anymore and assume we all know what

00:35:40.800 that means because i don't know if we do for a long time i had a hard time describing what a

00:35:48.600 father was my father was abused by his father and his father by his father and my father decided

00:35:56.420 it. He's not going to do that. But he didn't know how to be a good father. And so to make sure he

00:36:02.920 didn't do it, he kind of just worked himself to death. A father is the kind of man the world

00:36:12.500 almost never claps for. He gets up before the light. He goes to work that bores him so somebody

00:36:19.820 smaller than him can chase the work that thrills them. He fixes things twice because the first

00:36:26.400 fix didn't hold and nobody ever knows there was a first fix at all and he he carries the heavy end

00:36:32.100 and lets his son carry the handle and tells him good job you did it good job and he means it

00:36:38.040 that man is a father

00:36:40.300 we've gotten confused about what the word means we think it means a strong jaw and a firm ham

00:36:50.800 shake. We think it means provision, and it does. But a checkbook is not a father. We

00:36:57.980 think it means discipline, and it does. But fear is not a father. It's not the same as

00:37:03.440 respect. And a man who is only feared has not finished the job. The truth is older than

00:37:14.620 our dads, our grandparents

00:37:16.880 our country, older than Rome

00:37:18.900 written into us

00:37:21.340 before we had a word for it

00:37:22.800 to be a father is

00:37:25.060 to go first

00:37:26.900 to walk into the dark room

00:37:31.280 ahead of the child and say

00:37:32.460 see there's nothing in here, there's nothing to be afraid of

00:37:35.480 even though you might be

00:37:37.380 freaked out of your mind

00:37:38.480 to be a father means to stand

00:37:43.300 between your family and the storm

00:37:44.820 and let the storm believe

00:37:46.340 for at least one more night.

00:37:48.980 This house is unbreakable.

00:37:53.840 To be a father means to take the blow

00:37:56.040 that was meant for them

00:37:57.380 and then not mention it at dinnertime.

00:38:03.660 The father is somebody who tests the ice

00:38:05.680 before anyone he loves ever steps foot on it.

00:38:10.260 And you know, the strange holy thing about it is

00:38:12.680 i guess the thing that young men don't understand is that he does almost all of it in private

00:38:21.040 there's no audience for the 2 a.m floor walking with a fevered baby dad there's you know no one

00:38:30.740 films the father who sits in the truck in the driveway for 10 minutes swallowing a hard day

00:38:36.500 just collecting himself

00:38:39.140 so he can walk through that door

00:38:41.160 as the man they need him to be

00:38:42.820 instead of the man he feels like.

00:38:50.740 The best fathering in the world,

00:38:52.920 the best fathering the world has ever seen

00:38:56.140 happens when nobody is watching.

00:39:00.200 And that's not a tragedy.

00:39:02.060 That's the design.

00:39:03.280 Dads are the load-bearing wall inside of the house

00:39:10.120 You don't decorate it

00:39:12.340 You don't admire it

00:39:14.040 You don't even know

00:39:17.980 Is that a load-bearing? You don't even know

00:39:20.440 You only notice it the day it's gone

00:39:24.140 And then you understand it was holding everything up

00:39:27.980 i want to say to my children not for my sake for somebody i want them to know

00:39:40.760 this is what you're looking for you know even when you're fighting it you don't actually want

00:39:47.320 your father who lets you win you want a father strong enough that when he tells you you're going

00:39:52.840 to be all right. You believe him

00:39:54.640 because you've seen him. You've watched

00:39:56.780 him be all right before.

00:39:59.300 You want to push against

00:40:00.780 something that doesn't move

00:40:02.200 so you can learn how strong

00:40:04.560 you're becoming. Strive to become

00:40:06.780 that, not loud,

00:40:08.580 not rich.

00:40:11.260 Immovable in the things that

00:40:12.740 matter and

00:40:14.620 gentle with the people you could crush.

00:40:22.840 my daughters. 1.00

00:40:28.560 All women, when you're looking for a man, 0.99

00:40:31.480 don't be dazzled by the one who talks about love. 0.99

00:40:36.220 Watch the one who just shows up.

00:40:38.520 The dazzling ones are usually the ones that leave.

00:40:41.120 The one that shows up on an ordinary Tuesday,

00:40:43.440 who keeps the small promise about the small thing,

00:40:47.200 who's the same man in the kitchen that he is in the crowd,

00:40:51.360 that man, that man

00:40:53.680 will still be standing next to you in the hospital

00:40:55.900 hallway 40 years from now

00:40:57.500 as the fireworks fade

00:40:59.540 you're not looking for fireworks

00:41:01.880 you're looking

00:41:03.840 for a hearth 1.00

00:41:05.000 and to the old men who are listening

00:41:11.740 I'm relating more and more to you every day

00:41:18.140 you're looking back now

00:41:19.800 and you're counting the misses

00:41:20.880 you're counting the games you missed

00:41:23.920 the nights you were too tired

00:41:26.900 the words you said that were too sharp

00:41:29.800 the apology you owed and never quite delivered

00:41:33.000 let me tell you something

00:41:34.620 the measure of your fatherhood was never the perfect days

00:41:39.820 it was that you stayed

00:41:42.680 you came back to the table

00:41:45.860 you kept laying down the road

00:41:48.880 even when your own father never laid one down for you.

00:41:52.820 That's the most heroic version of all.

00:41:56.780 The man who builds the bridge he never got to cross. 1.00

00:42:03.320 Take a minute, old man,

00:42:06.500 to look at those who carry your name.

00:42:10.680 They're standing on ground you cleared.

00:42:13.640 They don't even see it.

00:42:15.280 The same way you don't see air.

00:42:18.880 that's how you know you did it right.

00:42:23.500 Because a father is not a man at all.

00:42:27.120 A father,

00:42:28.420 a father's a direction.

00:42:34.160 He's the way the family faces.

00:42:37.420 Long after he is gone,

00:42:38.960 his children will reach for a word

00:42:40.780 and it will be his word.

00:42:45.000 They'll face a storm

00:42:46.420 and they'll stand the way he stood.

00:42:49.440 They'll hold their own child at 2 a.m.

00:42:51.740 walking that same floor

00:42:53.100 and they'll understand him at last

00:42:54.940 and they will weep

00:42:56.420 and they will keep walking.

00:43:00.160 That is the thing that lasts.

00:43:04.300 A good father doesn't leave you money.

00:43:07.260 He leaves you a way to be a man,

00:43:10.480 a way to be loved,

00:43:12.300 a way to stay.

00:43:16.260 He spends his whole life

00:43:17.600 pouring himself into people who won't understand the gift

00:43:20.340 until he's no longer there to thank.

00:43:24.400 But he does it anyway.

00:43:30.380 That's what it means to be a father.

00:43:33.100 It is the most ordinary, unglamorous, world-saving thing

00:43:37.720 a man will ever do.

00:43:43.180 Happy Father's Day.

00:43:44.400 and dad and grandpa.

00:43:49.020 Again, thank you.

00:43:54.160 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors

00:43:57.280 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:43:59.800 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:44:03.300 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:44:06.380 We're making every corner of Ontario safer

00:44:09.020 to make all of Ontario safer.

00:44:11.380 That's how we protect Ontario.

00:44:13.180 For all of us.
