Glenn's Show Prep

Glenn's audience has raised OVER A MILLION DOLLARS for Maui wildfire relief. Here's how YOU can help.

August 16, 2023
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER
Katarina Bradford

Glenn's audience is rallying around the victims of the devastating Maui wildfires.

The wildfire that raged across Maui became the deadliest fire in US history, claiming more than 100 lives as search-and-rescue missions continue throughout the burnt remains of the historic town, Lahaina. In times of profound tragedy, Genn's audience has rallied around those enduring profound need and suffering through generous giving. On-air this week, Glenn rallied the troops again to support the grieving communities in Maui, challenging his audience to raise more money than the US government's aid package.

And you are doing just that.

As this week, YOU, Glenn's audience, have raised $1.2 million for the people of Maui via Glenn's non-profit, Mercury One (M1). Within the first day of Glenn's call-to-action to match the government's aid package, which has been raised to $2.3 million through FEMA, you gave HALF A MILLION towards this goal. That means Glenn's audience has sincw raised nearly HALF of the entire FEMA package.

YOU, Glenn's audience, have raised $1.2 MILLION for the people of Maui.

ALL of these proceeds, every penny, minus credit card fees, will go towards the residents as they grieve and rebuild in the tough days ahead. Through your continued support, Mercury One is well on its way to surpassing the government package.

Here's how YOUR gift is being used to bring relief in Maui RIGHT NOW.

Mercury One already has people on the ground in Maui using YOUR generous gift to give hope to the wildfire victims. Unlike the slow pace of government aid, your donation is being used NOW by M1 and their incredible partners, which includes Operation BBQ Relief, Samaritan's Purse, Operation Blessing, ITDRC, and Harvest Church, which is pastored by Greg Laurie in California and has a sister Church in Maui.

In fact, Drew Friedrich, Chief Operating Officer of Operation Blessing, praised Mercury One as one of the first organizations on the ground to provide aid:

Mercury One has been a faithful partner to Operation Blessing, helping expand our reach and drive greater impact for families and individuals whose lives have been interrupted by disaster. When the terrible fires in Hawaii devastated Lahaina and Maui, Mercury One was one of the first to step up with financial support to help. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and like-minded vision to deliver critical aid and resources to those in need.

Samaritan's Purse reported how YOUR gift is being used on the ground RIGHT NOW:

Samaritan’s Purse is grateful for the generosity of Mercury One, which has helped us airlift 17 tons of supplies to Maui, Hawaii, in the wake of the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over 100 years. The supplies on that DC-8 cargo aircraft include hygiene kits, solar lights, cooking kits, plastic tarp, and equipment needed for us to help in the aftermath of this disaster. As residents are allowed to return to their communities, Samaritan’s Purse volunteers will help homeowners sift through the ashes for any sentimental keepsakes that may have survived the flames. Thanks to Mercury One for partnering with us to bring timely assistance to the people of Hawaii.

Similarly, Operation BBQ Relief, which provides mobile BBQ food trucks to feed first responders and victims during natural disasters, thanks YOU for your incredible generosity:

I could not be more thankful for the support of Mercury One and its donors. Your trust in Operation BBQ Relief and Mercury One will continue to allow us to make significant impacts on Maui. With all they are dealing with, a hot meal is one less thing they will have to worry about.

The Mercury One staff stepped up.

Shortly after Glenn announced the fundraiser on-air, Mercury One suffered an online hacking incident. However, due to the incredible efforts of their staff, the site is back up and running at full capacity with no damage to the fundraiser. As JP Decker, executive director for Mercury One, assures:

The attack on our website did not make us weaker but instead made us stronger. Our M1 staff is a family that is small but mighty, and when this happened, every single staff member stepped in and started to plan for answering phones etc., ready to take donations. When you give to specific initiatives with Mercury One, 100% of your donation, minus credit card fees, goes to that initiative. When you give to Mercury One, it enables Mercury One to have the means to respond quickly when a crisis occurs.

And YOU stepped up.

This isn't the first time that Glenn's audience has stepped up in times of desperate need, from raising $35 MILLION to fund evacuations out of Afghanistan when our government refused, to funding community projects, aid for persecuted Christians, and SO much more. YOU, Glenn's audience, are truly giving light in a broken world.

When Glenn first started Mercury One, he said:

If we want the government to do less, we have to do more.

And that is exactly what YOU, through Mercury One have done. That's what it's all about: giving your neighbor hope, even in even the most hopeless situations.

As JP Decker says:

God is amazing, and what He alone has done with M1 is truly a miracle. What we did during the Afghanistan withdrawal, and what this [Glenn's] audience and M1 donors can do when our fellow man needs help is truly remarkable.

M1 gives all the glory to God, who is our foundation and hope. We are honored and blessed to work with partners who stand for truth and believe that God is our only true Hope. We are blessed to be a part of what God is doing. There is hope, and Mercury One is here to restore Hope to the hopeless.

Did Trump's '51st state' jab just cost Canada its independence?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Did Canadians just vote in their doom?

On April 28, 2025, Canada held its federal election, and what began as a promising conservative revival ended in a Liberal Party regroup, fueled by an anti-Trump narrative. This outcome is troubling for Canada, as Glenn revealed when he exposed the globalist tendencies of the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney. On a recent episode of his podcast, Glenn hosted former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, who provided insight into Carney’s history. She revealed that, as governor of the Bank of England, Carney contributed to the 2022 pension crisis through policies that triggered excessive money printing, leading to rampant inflation.

Carney’s election and the Liberal Party’s fourth consecutive victory spell trouble for a Canada already straining under globalist policies. Many believed Canadians were fed up with the progressive agenda when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned amid plummeting public approval. Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party leader, started 2025 with a 25-point lead over his Liberal rivals, fueling optimism about his inevitable victory.

So, what went wrong? How did Poilievre go from predicted Prime Minister to losing his own parliamentary seat? And what details of this election could cost Canada dearly?

A Costly Election

The election defied the expectations of many analysts who anticipated a Conservative win earlier this year.

For Americans unfamiliar with parliamentary systems, here’s a brief overview of Canada’s federal election process. Unlike U.S. presidential elections, Canadians do not directly vote for their Prime Minister. Instead, they vote for a political party. Each Canadian resides in a "riding," similar to a U.S. congressional district, and during the election, each riding elects a Member of Parliament (MP). The party that secures the majority of MPs forms the government and appoints its leader as Prime Minister.

At the time of writing, the Liberal Party has secured 169 of the 172 seats needed for a majority, all but ensuring their victory. In contrast, the Conservative Party holds 144 seats, indicating that the Liberal Party will win by a solid margin, which will make passing legislation easier. This outcome is a far cry from the landslide Conservative victory many had anticipated.

Poilievre's Downfall

What caused Poilievre’s dramatic fall from front-runner to losing his parliamentary seat?

Despite his surge in popularity earlier this year, which coincided with enthusiasm surrounding Trump’s inauguration, many attribute the Conservative loss to Trump’s influence. Commentators argue that Trump’s repeated references to Canada as the "51st state" gave Liberals a rallying cry: Canadian sovereignty. The Liberal Party framed a vote for Poilievre as a vote to surrender Canada to U.S. influence, positioning Carney as the defender of national independence.

Others argue that Poilievre’s lackluster campaign was to blame. Critics suggest he should have embraced a Trump-style, Canada-first message, emphasizing a balanced relationship with the U.S. rather than distancing himself from Trump’s annexation remarks. By failing to counter the Liberal narrative effectively, Poilievre lost momentum and voter confidence.

This election marks a pivotal moment for Canada, with far-reaching implications for its sovereignty and economic stability. As Glenn has warned, Carney’s globalist leanings could align Canada more closely with international agendas, potentially at the expense of its national interests. Canadians now face the challenge of navigating this new political landscape under a leader with a controversial track record.

Top FIVE powerful takeaways from Glenn Beck’s unfiltered Trump interview

As President Trump approaches his 100th day in office, Glenn Beck joined him to evaluate his administration’s progress with a gripping new interview. April 30th is President Trump's 100th day in office, and what an eventful few months it has been. To commemorate this milestone, Glenn Beck was invited to the White House for an exclusive interview with the President.

Their conversation covered critical topics, including the border crisis, DOGE updates, the revival of the U.S. energy sector, AI advancements, and more. Trump remains energized, acutely aware of the nation’s challenges, and determined to address them.

Here are the top five takeaways from Glenn Beck’s one-on-one with President Trump:

Border Security and Cartels

Early in the interview, Glenn asked if Trump views Mexico as a failed narco-state. While Trump avoided the term, he acknowledged that cartels effectively control Mexico. He noted that while not all Mexican officials are corrupt, those who are honest fear severe repercussions for opposing the cartels.

Trump was unsurprised when Glenn cited evidence that cartels are using Pentagon-supplied weapons intended for the Mexican military. He is also aware of the fentanyl influx from China through Mexico and is committed to stopping the torrent of the dangerous narcotic. Trump revealed that he has offered military aid to Mexico to combat the cartels, but these offers have been repeatedly declined. While significant progress has been made in securing the border, Trump emphasized that more must be done.

American Energy Revival

Trump’s tariffs are driving jobs back to America, with the AI sector showing immense growth potential. He explained that future AI systems require massive, costly complexes with significant electricity demands. China is outpacing the U.S. in building power plants to support AI development, threatening America’s technological leadership.

To counter this, Trump is cutting bureaucratic red tape, allowing AI companies to construct their own power plants, potentially including nuclear facilities, to meet the energy needs of AI server farms. Glenn was thrilled to learn these plants could also serve as utilities, supplying excess power to homes and businesses. Trump is determined to ensure America remains the global leader in AI and energy.

Liberation Day Shakeup

Glenn drew a parallel between Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs and the historical post-World War II Liberation Day. Trump confirmed the analogy, explaining that his policy aims to dismantle an outdated global economic order established to rebuild Europe and Asia after the wars of the 20th century. While beneficial decades ago, this system now disadvantages the U.S. through job outsourcing, unfair trade deals, and disproportionate NATO contributions.

Trump stressed that America’s economic survival is at stake. Without swift action, the U.S. risks collapse, potentially dragging the West down with it. He views his presidency as a critical opportunity to reverse this decline.

Trouble in Europe

When Glenn pressed Trump on his tariff strategy and negotiations with Europe, Trump delivered a powerful statement: “I don’t have to negotiate.” Despite America’s challenges, it remains the world’s leading economy with the wealthiest consumer base, making it an indispensable trading partner for Europe. Trump wants to make equitable deals and is willing to negotiate with European leaders out of respect and desire for shared prosperity, he knows that they are dependent on U.S. dollars to keep the lights on.

Trump makes an analogy, comparing America to a big store. If Europe wants to shop at the store, they are going to have to pay an honest price. Or go home empty-handed.

Need for Peace

Trump emphasized the need to end America’s involvement in endless wars, which have cost countless lives and billions of dollars without a clear purpose. He highlighted the staggering losses in Ukraine, where thousands of soldiers die weekly. Trump is committed to ending the conflict but noted that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has been a challenging partner, constantly demanding more U.S. support.

The ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East are unsustainable, and America’s excessive involvement has prolonged these conflicts, leading to further casualties. Trump aims to extricate the U.S. from these entanglements.

In honor of Trump's 100th day in office, Glenn was invited to the White House for an exclusive interview with the President.

Naturally, Glenn's visit wasn't solely confined to the interview, and before long, Glenn and Trump were strolling through the majestic halls of the White House, trading interesting historical anecdotes while touring the iconic home. Glenn was blown away by the renovations that Trump and his team have made to the presidential residence and enthralled by the history that practically oozed out of the gleaming walls.

Want to join Glenn on this magical tour? Fortunately, Trump's gracious White House staff was kind enough to provide Glenn with photos of his journey through the historic residence so that he might share the experience with you.

So join Glenn for a stroll through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the photo gallery below:

Trump branded a tyrant, but did Obama outdo him on deportations?

Genaro Molina / Contributor | Getty Images

MSNBC and CNN want you to think the president is a new Hitler launching another Holocaust. But the actual deportation numbers are nowhere near what they claim.

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust. He claimed that Hitler didn’t bother with German law — he just hauled people off to death camps in Poland and Hungary. Apparently, that’s what Trump is doing now by deporting MS-13 gang members to El Salvador.

Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans. I’ll wait while you try to do that math.

The debate is about control — weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent.

Media mouthpieces like Sanders and Matthews are just the latest examples of the left’s Pavlovian tribalism when it comes to Trump and immigration. Just say the word “Trump,” and people froth at the mouth before they even hear the sentence. While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise. And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.

Numbers don’t lie

The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump. It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals. President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals. Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.

So how does Donald Trump stack up? Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton. In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people. Yes, that’s assertive for a first term — but it's still fewer than Biden was deporting toward the end of his presidency.

The numbers simply don’t support the hysteria.

Who's the “dictator” here? Trump is deporting fewer people, with more legal oversight, and still being compared to history’s most reviled tyrant. Apparently, sending MS-13 gang members — violent criminals — back to their country of origin is now equivalent to genocide.

It’s not about immigration

This debate stopped being about immigration a long time ago. It’s now about control — about weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent. It’s about turning Donald Trump into the villain of every story, facts be damned.

If the numbers mattered, we’d be having a very different national conversation. We’d be asking why Bill Clinton deported six times as many people as Trump and never got labeled a fascist. We’d be questioning why Barack Obama’s record-setting removals didn’t spark cries of ethnic cleansing. And we’d be wondering why Trump, whose enforcement was relatively modest by comparison, triggered lawsuits, media hysteria, and endless Nazi analogies.

But facts don’t drive this narrative. The villain does. And in this script, Trump plays the villain — even when he does far less than the so-called heroes who came before him.
