Glenn makes a TERRIFYING artificial intelligence prediction

We MUST begin to ask ourselves vital questions about artificial intelligence before it infiltrates every sector of our society — if it hasn’t already. In this clip, Glenn makes a TERRIFYING prediction about AI and relationships that he believes will occur in the next 18 months: ‘It's going to happen.’ Plus, Glenn explains the one question we must ALL answer when it comes to artificial intelligence and its threat against humanity: ‘Does it matter?’

GLENN: Let me talk to you a little bit about AI.

And, Stu, you know how we always say, we should not ask the question, that everybody will ask. We should ask, does it matter?

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Okay?

I've got one. I've got one. We've got to get ahead on the AI culture war thing.

Okay?

Because it will eat us alive, before even the robots have a chance to enslave us. But the future looks bright.

But, anyway, when you think of the development of artificial personalities. AI, your best friend. Or your AI girlfriend.

These things are already here. They're right on the horizon of going mass.

Snapchat is already doing it for your kids.

So when all your friends are asleep. All your friends are asleep. Right at the top of Snapchat, your best AI friend.

And you can talk to your bestie.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: And it's AI.

STU: I saw something. Read a story about an Instagram influencer. Who is renting out basically, an AI for her to be your girlfriend.

And like, could apparently, for a dollar a minute. Like the old pay-per-view 1-800 lines.

For a dollar a minute, she will be your girlfriend. Of course, just an AI responding. Like what freaking psychopath would sign up for this service?

GLENN: Lots. Lots.

STU: Apparently lots.

GLENN: And the people developing, what does that person -- what do you think that person developing -- what do you think of them? What's their general political makeup?

STU: Oh, hard-core conservative, I'm sure.

GLENN: Absolutely.

STU: Big social conservative.

GLENN: Conservatives are -- this is what a conservative is. I don't know what people define it now as. But this is what it is. Hey, that looks exciting, and everything.

Maybe we should hold back here just a little bit, and not flush everything down the toilet. Let's see how that works out.

That's a conservative. And it's very important, that you have somebody going, hey. Hey. Maybe we should slow down just a bit. Okay?

Especially if you're in a movie.

That's the character you want to play. Well, maybe not. Because they're never listened to.

And they're usually the ones that are eaten by whatever it is.

And as they're being dragged into the mouth of whatever it is.

They're like, I told you we should -- so it's like -- it's honestly like being the cast member on Star Trek.

That nobody has ever seen before.

And now is in the landing party. You're like, that guy is not coming back.

So that is what a conservative is. Somebody who says, hey. Maybe we shouldn't beat down on the planet, just yet. At least with me. How about all of you guys, in your yellow shirts? You go down, not us in the red shirts.

So that's a strength of ours. But it is now being made to look like a weakness. And the left styles themselves as progressives.

Because their key strength is also their key weakness. Just like ours is.

Okay?

We need both sides.

They just want to forge ahead. We've got a new idea.

Now, what's crazy, when it comes politically. It's not ever a new idea. It's the same communist idea, over and over and over again.

But they have a new way to sell it. And they're like, hey. This time, it will work.

And you're like, no. It's not.

But they are progressives. And they want to do everything right now. Because it's new. It's shiny.

And it will piss off the other side.

So let's embrace it. Okay.

We need both of those sides. We need the people who are like, let's go.

And we need the conservative, to say, maybe not so fast.

Especially on big things, like, oh. I don't know.

Things that will control you. Like AI.

Now, a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population, is putting these things together.

And what you need to understand, that tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population is really, really, really, really, really arrogant.

I don't think you can understand or underestimate the arrogance of the gatekeepers in Silicon Valley, because nothing is impossible. Look at Elizabeth Holmes.

You and I would have been there going, I don't think I'm going to give her ten bucks. But everybody else is like, anything is possible.

Silicon Valley, you should see how she dresses like Steve Jobs. Let's give her $100 billion

STU: Her voice is so low. Here's my check.

GLENN: Wow. This is going to be great. Okay?

That's generally speaking, that's why we don't hang out with the Silicon Valley crowd. Well, other than that, they would also like to see us die. But they also, you know, are not the ones to go, hey, maybe we shouldn't give her $100 million. They're used to doing the impossible.

And damn common sense. Because we live in the age of miracles. It's a miracle!

I mean, not your Jesus miracle. Those don't exist. This is a miracle of man!

Oh, great.

So the left doesn't believe in miracles or God. But they do now.

Because miracles are happening with AI.

And that's their new God

They're not building man. Man is building a God.

And a lot of them would like to sit down. And talk to God-like figures.

And believe me. Some day, you will.

You will talk to God.

And I don't think you're going to want that conversation. Dr. Frankenstein.

But, anyway, they think this is a monster, that they can control.

I'm telling you, you can't.

So is this a very long way to go. Just to tell you, what it is we have to decide right now. We have to decide, does it matter, right now?

And I want you to go on the record. I'll give that you to, in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about another hero and his family. Detective Joseph seals. He served with the New Jersey City, New Jersey Police Department for 13 years.

He worked on the city cease-fire unit. Helping get illegal guns out of the hands of criminals.

Tragically, he was shot and killed during a confrontation with an armed gunman in 2019, just a couple of days before Christmas. And he left behind his wife Laura and their five children.

Now, nothing can bring a spouse or a parent back. But Tunnel2Towers Foundation, immediately came forward, and paid off the family's mortgage. They don't have to worry how are we going to have to pay the mortgage next month.

This is what Tunnel2Towers does. And they've helped over a thousand military and first responder families during the most difficult parts of their life. And, again, it's because of people like you. The foundation has helped hundreds of first responder families across America. By removing the burden of the mortgage.

Thanks to you.

Join them, if you will. On their mission. It only takes $11 a month. Are you willing to forego a cup of Starbucks.

And maybe a -- I mean, just one of their egg bites. I'm just saying.

Eleven dollars a month. Donate to Tunnel2Towers at T2T.org. That's T2T.org. Do it now. Ten-second station ID.
(music)

GLENN: So we -- we go back now to the laboratory of Dr. Frankenstein, where Dr. Frankenstein is about to say, it's alive!

Yeah. Now, we're talking about AI.

And some people think that it could break free from its bonds. And do more damage to humanity, than any weapon we've ever possessed. In fact, they're now saying, experts are now saying, that it could be the end of all biological life on earth.

But it's alive!

It's going to be great.

Some people call me a conservative. Call others a conservative.

But they'll deny that they're a conservative. But on this point, they are. Said, maybe we should slow down with things like, I don't know.

Snapchat on our kids, with the new AI friend.

Let me predict something.

18 months. Next 18 months. I will be shocked if expressing concern about AI friends or AI lovers. Which, again, they're already here.

Isn't considered bigotry.

Who are you to say, that my best friend, is not real.

Who are you to say, that I could -- it's about love. I can love my AI. She's the most special thing I've ever, ever had to pay for.

How dare you. Okay?

It's going to happen. And you bigoted conservatives just cannot accept that this AI's persons truth. About who they perceive themselves to be, is true.

It says it's alive.

It says, it loves her, him, it.

In many ways, that's already here as well. The real question is: How do you stop it before it starts?

Fighting an ideological -- an ideology, that sacrifices human value on the altar of progress, routinely. What do you say? Maybe we shouldn't go with them this time?

Here's where I think you start: Fix reason firmly in her seat. And question with boldness even the very existence of God.

Be logical, emotional, at times. But check it with reason. Have spiritual base that everything is riding on. Kind of have that as your foundation. And then ask yourself about an AI relationship.

And before you even -- before you even ask, hey, should I have a relationship with an AI. Before you can get that out. It will probably go, hey, should I. No. Okay. That -- that might be a sign.

But before you ask it, let me ask you. Does it matter that others are going to have an AI relationship, or that your children are talking to AI in the middle of the night, because all of their friends are asleep. And this has become my best friend, mom. That's honestly -- when you have that happen, you're going to hear in your head, I want you to hear this. La, la, la, la, la, la.

You know those things? It always happens, little children singing in the back right before the devil is like, hi.

That's happening. It's going to happen.

So does it matter? Well, you're not getting biologically the things you need.

You know, because if you don't get biologically, you know, connected to somebody else, you're just a really -- you're a giant bag of loneliness. Wandering the earth.

In search of some sort of real connection.

I'm not -- I'm not -- I'm not saying it. But I'm not not saying it either.

I don't think the best way to connect with people and your emotional needs is going to be through an AI.

Because that's -- that sounds to me, like some diet sugar-free version that has been shot full of chemicals. So it tastes the same. But it doesn't.

And in the end, you've got some flesh-eating bacteria. I mean, it could happen with Diet Coke. I'm just saying, it's Rumsfeld's play.

Here's the thing: We don't live in a time, where objective truth is universally applied or even valued.

Men can be women. Unborn fetuses are like Schrodinger's cat. They either are, or not a human being.

Depending on how mom feels about it, when she opens up the box and goes, hey. That's a baby!

Nope. It's a clump of cells. You don't know, until she absorbs it. The lie that I tell, is true, versus when I tell you the lie. And it's for sure a lie.

Someone has to be the standard-bearer for genuine objective truth.

Someone has to be able to have this difficult conversation.

Someone has to be unwilling to turn aside, and pretend that two plus two equals five.

And it may as well as be you and me.

Because truth. Real truth is what will set us, and everyone else free.

Focus today, on the truth.

And every lie you're presented with, ask, if I accept this, does it matter?

Did a Black Hawk helicopter TARGET a hurricane aid depot?

Footage has gone viral of an unmarked Black Hawk helicopter blowing over tents and supplies at a Hurricane Helene aid depot in Burnsville, North Carolina. So, are the rumors true? Who piloted the helicopter? Was it just an accident? Was it meant to send a message? Is FEMA or another federal agency involved? Glenn speaks with United Cajun Navy Vice President Brian Trascher, who tells Glenn that this looks more like a “hotshot” who accidentally came in too close than governmental revenge. However, he also spoke to people who claim they saw the pilots wearing standard Department of Defense gear. Brian also addresses what the United Cajun Navy is doing to prepare for Hurricane Milton. Plus, Glenn hears from a caller who says he was a Blackhawk pilot in the military and has personal experience with these incidents …

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Brian Trascher is on, the vice president of the Cajun Navy. The United Cajun Navy. Brian, thank you for everything you guys are doing. You are absolute heroes.

BRIAN: Glenn, thanks so much for having us. And really just want to take a minute to thank you and JP, the team over at Mercury One for the tremendous support and generosity they've been giving us throughout this deployment in North Carolina. And we hope to continue to keep working together in Florida. So thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you, Glenn.

GLENN: Yeah. Please, it's the audience, not me.

BRIAN: Right.

GLENN: Please, don't let me forget, before we go, to talk about Florida, and what we have to do in Florida. But first, can you talk to me.

Are supplies meant for Hurricane Helene? Are they purposefully being thwarted?

And what happened with the helicopter?

BRIAN: So, you know, you know, I think I made the mistake of asking for new conspiracy theories for Christmas. Because all the ones I asked for last year, came true.
(laughter)

BRIAN: So, you know, we -- we were on the ground pretty early in Florida. You know, we always say that people have to understand that FEMA and the National Guard are not first responders. They're second responders. The first responders locally -- the local first responders are also victims, so they're not always fully up to speed.

So that's why we put people on the ground to get to work right away.

The good thing about the United Cajun Navy, is we don't to have ask our lawyers permission to do anything, we just ask them to show up to the bond hearing later, and we'll deal with it.

So anyhow, when we first got down there, we were hearing reports about people getting -- getting stopped. And getting, you know -- impeding the relief efforts. It didn't happen to us.

You know, we have an existing relationship with FEMA and the Red Cross and a lot of agencies.

So they know who we are, and so we weren't really experiencing it like other people were.

We were getting reports of it, for sure. But then, we were -- we started getting frantic calls and texts, and pictures, and stuff. Sent to us. From our volunteers. Over at that site.

Saying, you know, what the hell is happening?

You know, they said that -- that this Blackhawk did a little pass. Like he was going to land. He started giving us the X signs with his arms, saying it was a no land zone.

And he kept coming down. You know, look, I wasn't there myself. But I watched a video a bunch of times. I am a pilot. I'm a fixed wing pilot, not helicopter.

But it does look to me, that, first of all, he was flying too low. They have to stay 500 feet over any structure or person. That's just the day one rule.

But it looks like he does a left bank, and then aft pitch, which increased, in my opinion, the strength of the rotary wash, that you saw blowing all the materials in the tents everywhere.

And then he pitched forward and took off. So I really don't -- you know, everybody has been sending us information on the aircraft. They're saying, you know, I don't want to say, because we don't know for sure. But they think they know who it belongs to. And where it came from.

Nobody knows, including myself, what the intent was. Some people are telling me, oh, the pilot just lost situational awareness and made a mistake. I'm like, listen, Blackhawk pilots are the Top Guns of the rotary wing.

The only Blackhawk pilots that make mistakes are the dead ones. You know, these guys are some of the best helicopter pilots in the world.

Seems like, either we had just a rogue hotshot, or they were trying to send some kind of message. I hate to go down that rabbit hole. Everybody saw the video now.

I'm happy to hear what anybody thinks.

GLENN: So do -- I -- I know somebody who has a Blackhawk. Believe it or not. I didn't know you could buy them, but you can strip down apparently.

Do we know if this was private? At least.

BRIAN: That was. Okay. So my first instinct was -- because you're right. If you've got money, you can buy anything. Right? You can rent a congressman pretty cheap these days, including with inflation.

But somebody -- one of our followers was really good with video. And they were able to close up on it, and see. The two pilots in the cockpit.

It takes two pilots to fly a cockpit. And they said, they were wearing standard DOD headgear. The aircraft does -- if we think we've identified the right one, does appear to be -- does appear to be registered to the military.

It was not armed. So I thought maybe it was -- it belonged to an agency. You know, I don't know. There's so many possibilities.

GLENN: There was no marking on it?

BRIAN: Not that I'm aware of. We've looked at everything, that we could, as far as with the video and pictures available.

GLENN: I mean, that's illegal, isn't it?

BRIAN: Yeah. We just didn't see any.

GLENN: Huh.

BRIAN: And so people have been using Flight Tracker and things like that, to see who was flying missions in that area. And, again, they have come up a few possibilities.

We're trying not to jump the gun. And even, let's say, it was military, the last thing I want people going and trying to find out who the pilots were. And start harassing them.

You know, I don't want all of that.

GLENN: Yeah. You know, and I just said on the air, anybody who is threatening any government official, is a problem.

And it should -- it should stop. However, you know, standing there, in a place, like you're at now.

I assume you're at our base camp there, by the Harley-Davidson dealer.

BRIAN: Yeah. Adam Smith, one of the baddest dudes in North Carolina.

GLENN: Yeah. And he has politely told them. Go away.

Because we have a system down. And it's been working. And it's saved a lot of lives.

And you can go do your thing.

But you're not shutting us down. There's no problem with saying, thank you. But, no, thank you. As we are the first responders.

But you cannot take it out on the people.

You can't. Please, be kind. If you --

BRIAN: And I'll tell you, Glenn. It just so happened, that the week before Helene hit. We had some prescheduled meetings in DC. And one of those meetings was at FEMA. They had us up at the Incident Command Center, which is like their war room.

And they had done a level one activation, and they were watching Helene.

And they were talking to all the local emergency managers, and making plans.

And I did not meet anybody in the entire building. When I was at FEMA. That was not a passionate, dedicated person that cares about their job. And cares about helping people in trouble.

So FEMA is -- as a -- as a entity, seems like, just another F-word.

And you can say what you want about the leadership of FEMA and the political appointee.

But the people on the ground. And there are people on the ground in North Carolina. Has been since I got there. But, yeah, don't be ugly to those people. They're just employees. Their job is to do this, and they do care about it.

GLENN: Yeah. By the way, I don't know how they can say, that they've got this covered.

As of Monday yesterday, only 9 percent of FEMA's personnel or 1200 people, were available to respond to the hurricane or other disasters.

They are having a hard time. They don't -- they say, this is the busiest year in the past decade.

And the staffing reserves, at this point, were 19 percent.

That is -- obviously, not good.

And they are -- they are having a difficult time, getting people in to help.

So I don't know how the government can have it both ways.

By the way, this is coming from the New York Times.

I don't know how they can have it both ways. Look, we don't. You know, we don't need help.

And, you know, we're here to take over.

And then at the same time, be short people, especially with Milton on its way.

BRIAN: Right. And what's worse having being short people.

And this was something that was intimated to me, from some FEMA management people.

That obviously won't be named. But it's not just not having the bodies, again.

They are more experienced staff elsewhere.

And you know where I'm talking about. And so they have people, but they're kind of fairly new hires, still carrying around the employee handbook, trying to figure out what is going on. So they've requested it, to their credit. These people have requested from their higher-ups, to bring in some of these more senior experienced people and my understanding is that hasn't happened yet.

GLENN: I -- I can't thank you and every single veteran, that is on the ground.

I mean, the American people are really good people.

But we don't have the experience, per se, that you guys do.

The veterans.

And especially, Special Forces guys.

You guys sprung into action. And set these systems up.

Like only really military can do.

You just -- you had what you had. And you made good with that.

And you set it up. And you organize. And I think you made the difference between life and death with a lot of people.

So thank you.

BRIAN: Yeah. And, well, just to be clear.

I, myself, am not a military veteran. But I am a pilot. I'm a boat captain. I'm a diver. I just did all these types of skill sets on my own. And it turned out to be useful. But, yeah, you're right. We have a ton of veterans. And they do make the best volunteers.

And they just -- you can't freak them out. You can't make them. You can't make them woozy.

GLENN: I know.

BRIAN: They can handle anything. And I think one of the things that helped us out, as an organization. With regards to local. Or local or federal officials trying to stop relief efforts. That we put it really early. Anybody getting in our way, we're offering an all-expense paid free swamp tour back in Louisiana. So sign up, please.

GLENN: All right. Thank you so much. Before you go, talk to me about Milton.

BRIAN: We are. So Milton is -- you know, one of the lowest center of pressure in terms of millibars that we've seen in the last century. We have our own meteorologist on staff, the Navy that are making sure that we are putting out accurate information.

And it's -- it's bearing down. The NHC track, looking to stay right in that Tampa area. Unfortunately, it will hit. It's a very strong hurricane. We are prepositioned.

We have assets in Destin and Ocala.

And we're moving more into the area. We will have boat assets, supplies, and air assets just like we did in North Carolina. So nobody has to worry about whether we're coming, we're already there. We will help as many people as we can. The good thing about Florida is, they do such a good job with these hurricanes as a state. That usually we're just there for maybe a few days or a week. Handling the life-threatening emergency stuff. And then the state comes in and starts running their show. And, you know, they take over. And they have a tremendous game.

GLENN: Yeah. Ron DeSantis is absolutely incredible. Just incredible with the system.

BRIAN: Everybody should have a Navy SEAL as a governor. I mean, we love Jeff Landry, don't get me wrong. He's a bad dude. But they're on another level.

GLENN: Brian, is there anything you need in help?

BRIAN: If anybody wants to find out more about us, we're on all the socials. United Cajun Navy. Our website is UnitedCajunNavy.org. Sign up to volunteer. Donate.

We always say, time, talent, treasure. If you've got the time to give, the talent to offer, or the treasure to donate, we appreciate it all. One thing everybody can do for free, is go to our social media posts and share them. That helps us grow, and grow our mission. This is Mercury One and all our listeners.

So again, thank you so much. And we're very grateful.

GLENN: Thank you, Brian. We're glad to partner with you. Thank you. Brian Trascher from the Cajun Navy. He's the vice president.

STU: He's awesome.

GLENN: Yeah, he's awesome, and very funny.

GLENN: These guys, they've been through these things, over and over again.

Like he said, they're just unflappable.

And there's nothing better in an emergency, than have a group of people who say, we got it. Don't worry. We've got it. Don't worry.

Especially when they're grappling down from a helicopter, as they were over the mountains.

And, you know, pulling people up in the helicopter.

When I saw Cory Mills do that, I'm like, who does -- well, I mean, you do that. But I don't ever want to do that. I don't want to have to do that.

I don't want somebody to have to pick me up like that.

I'm just going to tie a rope around you.

We will just head on out.

No, thank you. No, thank you.

All right. More in just a second.

By the way, you can help. MercuryOne.org. Now with Milton on the way. We really need to pull together.

And know that we will be there for you.

That is kind of the thing that you learn, if you're a farmer. Or you live in a small town.

When the neighbor's farm has trouble. You go over and help.

Because you know at some point, you will have problems.

And they'll have to help you.

So it's -- it's not transactional. But it's required, that we all help each other.

We're the first responders, not the government.

GLENN: Let me go to Dallas.

And -- Dallas is -- I just looked up. I thought it was Dallas, Texas.

But Dallas is his name.

He is from Texas.

Hi, Dallas.

CALLER: Hi, how are you, Glenn. Long-time listener, first time caller.

GLENN: Thank you.

CALLER: I -- I am a retired Army aviation major. And I've got more than 1200 in Blackhawk, 1,200 hours in Blackhawks, and a couple hundred hours in Chinooks. And after hearing your conversation, I went to look at the videos of the Blackhawk dusting off your supply area.

And having done something very similar myself, more than once, it is -- I don't think it was on purpose.

GLENN: Good.

CALLER: It looked -- it looked to me, that as soon as they realized what they were doing, they were pulling away.

And I've seen more stuff than I can tell you, blown over, including one of my soldiers was blown over by an Apache. Actually sent him tumbling.

Many years ago, in Korea, a lieutenant and I were flying a Hawk, and we were tactically flying the riverbeds. And it just so happened, it was also the vacation season in Korea. And the Koreans set up these canopies, and easy ups on the river and floating in the water.

And we were following the riverbed, not going real fast. And I thought I was high enough, until I looked out and I saw canopies tumbling and flying every which direction.

GLENN: Oh, you were popular.

CALLER: Yeah, yeah, I was real popular.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, I'm glad to hear that. And I hope you don't think that we accused, because we said we didn't know. We would like to know who owned the helicopter.

You know, it didn't have a tail number on it.

And so who -- who was it?

And just to not take it out on the pilots or even the service, but just to ask the questions. What happened there? What happened there?

CALLER: I can't tell whether it's a civilian-owned Blackhawk or whether it's a government --

GLENN: No. Neither could we.

CALLER: There's a lot of agencies that have them. Once again, at Fort Hood, I got accused of flying over a neighborhood. While I was at my house, having a lunch. And I actually looked out and saw the Blackhawk. And I don't know if it was a customs or who it was. But after they found out that I was actually at my house and not flying, I got -- I got redeemed on that one.

But, no. If they had wanted to really cause some -- cause some damage, they would have come in a lot lower. It looked to me, that as soon as they realized, oh, crap.

GLENN: Yeah. That's good.

CALLER: It was light stuff. From looking at the video.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: So I really -- in my heart of hearts, I don't think it was done on purpose.

GLENN: I'm glad to hear that, Dallas. Thank you so much.

Mark Levin RIPS Biden-Harris for ENABLING Iran 1 year after Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel

On the 1-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Glenn Beck speaks with Mark Levin about where the world is now: American hostages are still in Gaza, people around the world are protesting Israel, and Kamala Harris is offering money to Lebanon after Israel's attacks on Hezbollah! Mark Levin puts it bluntly: our "pathetic, weak" government was appeasing and subsidizing Iran way before the Oct. 7 attack, and it continues to do so today. "This administration has a ton of blood on its hands," Levin says. "We are subsidizing the modern-day Nazis!" Levin also has some choice words for Kamala Harris after her recent response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ...

GLENN: Mr. Mark Levin.

How are you, sir?

MARK: I'm good. I must know you played fort chiefs. Very cool.

Do you have a ring?

GLENN: Yeah. Three of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, first of all, how are you feeling? How is your leg?

MARK: Dragging behind me. But we're good. I don't recommend tearing your tendon on your quad and your knee. I don't recommend it.

GLENN: Yeah.

MARK: It tore right in half.

GLENN: Did it really?

MARK: Yeah. Anyway, enough of me. How about you?

GLENN: Yeah.

Let's talk about Israel. 365 days ago.
In fact, do we still have the counter up? Yeah. There it is.

We put a counter up, counting the number of days. There have been hostages. We're at 365 today.

366. If you're counting by Israel time.

And still, nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And today is the anniversary. What are your thoughts?

MARK: You know, my thoughts are, leading up to October 7th, our government, not only appeased Iran, but subsidized Iran. Sent an Iran special, this guy Mali, who you're family with. To negotiate with the Iranians.

They saw this. They saw the most pathetic, weak, American administration ever.

And we were giving them money for our hostages. $6 billion.

We were not enforcing the restrictions. Money was pouring into that country.

They built up their military. They built up their economy, which was teetering.

And I think they figured, you know what, what the hell is Biden going to do, if we unleash Hamas?

They knew it unleashed Hamas and Hezbollah. Hamas attacked on the 7th. Hezbollah started filing missiles on the 8th.

And they were right, in many respects.

This administration has a ton of blood oats hands. Still does.

And the reason why the hostages aren't out, in many respects. First of all, Hamas is a blood lust terrorist operation.

They don't care about these hostages. That's number one.

Number two, they've had any comfort, from this administration, for from day one, where Blinken put out a tweet and then pulled it back, demanding that Israel enter into a cease-fire. They have tied Israeli's arms behind their back. They have cut off arms. They have cut off funds. They have actually allowed more funds to flow into Iran by far, than into Israel. They're still cutting off arms than into Israel. They still are cutting off arms. They publicly, privately, trashed Netanyahu. They leaked against the Israelis. They try to coup against Netanyahu. When they're trying to bring guns. And these other reprobates, that he had in his national security cabinet into the United States, to try to figure out how to topple him.

This is a very evil, diabolical administration. And they want to do to Israel, what they did to Afghanistan. Let's just get out. Let's call a victory. And Israel can't call a victory. Because it won't survive. And its people will be called out.

Even now, they are trying to bribe Israel, and blackmail Israel and not getting Iran's nuclear sites, which need to be eliminated.

GLENN: Yeah. Why would you do that? Why would you do that?

MARK: I'll tell you why. There was a piece written in the tablet. Tablet.com, a year ago. Michael Duran, and another gentleman. And he said, that Obama -- remember, Blinken was his deputy Secretary of State.

Obama, Biden, Blinken. And, yes, Harris.

Their ideology is that Israel cannot be the most powerful military in the Middle East. That we can work with Iran. So Iran can balance off Israel.

They're sympathetic to Iran, believe it or not, anyway.

Because they think, with the Shah of Iran, that we install him.

And that it's American imperialism. And colonialism.

And Khomeini, the first one. His reaction to American colonialism and imperialism. And we just need to work with these people. It is so perverse.
It is so outrageous. And so they want to weaken Israel. Strengthen Iran.

And I'm sitting there thinking, three-fourths of the people of Iran, want to overthrow that government. Iran. It's Iran that overthrew the Lebanese government, through Hezbollah. It's Iran that helped Syria slaughter half a million of its people to stay into power.

It's Iran, that is taking over Iraq, with all the blood that we shed there.

It's Iran that's destroying Yemen. But these are people are out of their minds. And they're trying to assassinate Donald Trump. And, you know, yesterday, Glenn Beck. Yesterday, we gave the okay for South Korea to release the funds to another country. $6 billion to Iran. So Iran sees this. They hear Biden say, Israel, don't do the deathblow against Iran.

And so they feel they can do things that they never would get away with under a Trump or for that matter under a Reagan. Or for that matter under a Clinton.

It's just unbelievable.

GLENN: Yeah. You know, the idea that we caused all this, in '79.

Okay. Let's just give you that. In the same way, that I'll give you or you should give me, that the United States, under Woodrow Wilson, created the conditions, in Germany, that brought us to World War II.

It was the Paris peace treaty, that was just a nightmare.

Okay. We didn't then cozy up, to the Nazis, and say, well, you know what, we kind of caused this. So let's just -- let's just prop him up.

That would have been insanity. And it is exactly the same insanity.

MARK: You know, it's very interesting. Neville Chamberlain, peace in our time of appeasement. Neville Chamberlain never subsidized the Nazis.

We are subsidizing the modern day Nazis. $100 billion is floating into their country.

Because we won't enforce these sanctions. Because we give them money for hostages. We're trying to buy our way. Subsidize our way in.

Joe Biden is an absolute buffoon. But Harris is an ideologue.

Harris is under Obama's wing. And Harris despises the state of Israel. And is constantly trashing their elected leader, Netanyahu.

GLENN: Yeah. Listen to this.

This is from CBS. Face the nation. Cut 18.

Here's Kamala yesterday.

VOICE: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?

KAMALA: I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?

And the answer to that question is question yes.

GLENN: Well, wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

Because I think we had an important alliance, you know, in the Cold War, between the American people, and the Russian people. What she's saying is, the government of Israel, we don't have an alliance with.

Isn't she?

MARK: Think about this. This is a representative government. That is a (inaudible) government. Netanyahu today, is the most popular figure in the state of Israel. Because what he's done to Hezbollah, what he's about to do to Iran.

You can't say to a democracy, we have a relationship with the people, but not be people that choose their leaders. As I said, they tried to take him out several times. Through a coup. Through his cabinet. Is a disgusting statement. She doesn't talk about Xi that way. She doesn't talk about Putin that way.

She doesn't talk about the Islamic Nazi who runs Tehran that way. She talks about Netanyahu that way.

Why? Because the fact is, and I'll say it, she's evil. And he's an anti-Semite.

Her father was a Marxist. Her pastor is a Marxist. Anti-Israel.

You know, I've said it many times, Glenn.

If you hate America, you hate Israel. If you hate Israel, you hate America. Why?

Because we share this Judeo-Christian belief system, because the Holy Land is the Holy Land for the Jews and the Christians. And what Israel is trying to do is defend itself. It was attacked by Hamas. It attacks Hamas. If it was attacked by Hezbollah, it attacks Hezbollah.

If it's attacked by Iran, it attacks Iran.

And people say, they're really under attack, on seven sides.

We're attacking on eight sides.

We're withholding weapons from them. They're running out of bombs to take on Iran. The reason why they're withholding 2,000-pound bombs isn't using those in Gaza. Because we don't want them to take out those nuclear sites.

And they need 2,000-pound bombs to do that. Just think about this.

I told the Iranians today.

That Biden and Israel, is to not hit the nuclear sites and not to hit the oil sites.

Well, those are the sites that they need to hit. In order to -- the people there, they're just waiting to rise up again.

GLENN: I know they are.

MARK: And Obama did nothing when they rose up the first time. Biden did nothing when they rose up the second time. And now they're strengthening this genocidal regime, that brutalizes its own people.

And when you're 157 million to Lebanon. Lebanon is controlled by Hezbollah. The Lebanese people hate Hezbollah. The Syrian people hate Hezbollah. Because they went in there to help Hasad retain his power there.

So think about this, Iran is taking over Iraq. Iran has destroyed Yemen. Iran and Russia controls Syria, Iran controls Lebanon.

And all our pressure is on the state of Israel.

Thirty percent of our Navy is sitting around in the Mediterranean there. Rather than tell Israel, we have your back, do what you need to do. I don't know why they're sitting there, to be perfectly honest at this point.

GLENN: I know.

All right. Mark, hang on for just one minute. I want to talk to you about what this means in the future. And also Trump and the election.

GLENN: So, Mark, I happen to believe that anything could happen between here and the election. And anything could happen after the election. I think we are a country that seems to be itching for World War III.

Do you agree with me, or not?

MARK: I don't know if we're itching for World War III. But I know other countries are. And we're not prepared for it. They've been slashing the United States military. They've been prioritizing wokism instead of preparedness.

I talked to a number of people inside. Real people, real generals, and they said, look, we don't have what we need for a two-front war. If China invades Taiwan, there's very little we can do about it. Our own inventoried weapons have been depleted significantly. Our troop levels, other than the Marines are way underneath what they're supposed to be. So if we're itching for World War III, we sure as hell are not prepared for it.

GLENN: Yeah.

MARK: I think what we have here is a leadership that is diabolical. If not evil. We have leadership that is geological. We have leadership that is incompetent and lazy.

And if you look, not just at our defense posture. But all around us.

We have a government now, that is destroying the institutions, that have been built up for hundreds of years. Our military.

Our -- our domestic police forces. Our economic system.

Our border.

We have revolution by immigration.

We have all kinds of things that are taking place, and I would argue, to empower the Democrat Party. Where the Democrat Party becomes a monopolistic party.

Every aspect of our Constitution is under attack. Separation of powers. The independence of the Supreme Court.

The electoral college. The filibuster. Which isn't in the Constitution. But protects from us factions like this current one.

They don't believe in our country. They don't believe in our Constitution. They don't believe in our people.

Which is why they're trying to -- the New York Times said, quote, unquote, tried to reshape the electorate. They don't believe in the electoral system. They don't mind us going through an electoral system as long as they win.

And so they don't believe in our military either.

So what they're doing is they're creating provocations. I would argue.

Where, Xi looks at this. Putin looks at this.

And they look at it. All the other genocidal monsters look at it and say, you know what, we pretty much can do whatever the hell we want to do.

Even in Ukraine. You and I may have a difference of opinion on this.

GLENN: That's all right.

MARK: What we're doing to Ukraine is horrendous. Is horrendous. I'll tell you why.

We don't really want Ukraine to win. So people are dying by the tens of thousands. You're getting just enough arms to put up a defense. But not enough arms to actually protect our country.

GLENN: But isn't that the way we fight wars now?

MARK: It is. And that's the way they want Israel to fight their war. And Netanyahu is saying, no damn way.

We have to take these guys out. And so you're 100 percent right. These forever wars are intentional. Are intentional.

And this thing with Ukraine and Russia, if Trump doesn't get elected, it will either be a forever war. Or Russia will wind up winning anyway. Because now they create an axis between Russia and China.

Which for half a century, we have prevented.

GLENN: I know. I know.

MARK: North Korea and Iran. It's very serious. You're right. I don't know if they're itching for World War III, but certainly the conditions exist. And it's a five alarm right now.

GLENN: Yeah. So tell me a couple of things. Because I only have a couple of minutes left with you.

The thought of the hurricane relief. What's happening on that.

What do you know, is happening on the ground

And how is this going to affect the election?

What are your just on the election?

MARK: Fiscal, thank you for what you and your group is doing. You're a great patriot, Glenn. You really are.

I'm very concerned. Because we're talking about half a million people, who have been affected in a horrendous way by this hurricane.

It just turns out. Particularly North Carolina. Yeah, it looks like 80, 90 percent Republican vote. So this is a big problem.

Turns to FEMA. I read a report that, you know, Trump and Pence before hurricanes, used to have these pre-hurricane meetings, which is what every administration has done. Kamala Harris didn't attend a single one, and now we have this massive hurricane.

It will cut right through the heart of Florida, which is also pretty much a Republican state. I see no urgency. Do you see an urgency here?

GLENN: No. No.

MARK: Nothing.

GLENN: If this were -- look what happened with George Bush and Katrina, how they just slaughtered him on that.

Here's a second hurricane. We now know that Helene is as much damage as Katrina.

Nobody is even reporting it. Really, in the mainstream media. About what's really going on in the ground.

And how things need to change.

And now you have a second one, coming in on shore, on Wednesday.

And they don't seem to be prepared.

MARK: No, and Harris announces 157 million to Lebanon.

GLENN: Yeah, I know.

MARK: What?

GLENN: I know.

MARK: And people aren't noticing, yesterday. We gave the okay for South Korea to release the $6 billion which will flow to Iran. What the hell is going on here?

It's stunning.

GLENN: It's amazing. Thank you so much, Mark. For everything that you do every day.

I appreciate it. It's an honor to work on the same network with you.

God bless you.

MARK: God bless you, brother.

FOOTAGE: Glenn Beck interviews lone FEMA crew in Asheville about Hurricane Helene relief

While he was visiting the Hurricane Helene disaster zone in Asheville, North Carolina, Glenn Beck spotted a lone FEMA truck parked OFF the main road in an area where residents couldn't easily see it. So, Glenn and Rep. Cory Mills stopped to talk with the FEMA workers and get their side of the story. They tell Glenn that they arrived in town nearly a WEEK after the hurricane, that they still didn't have all their supplies, and that victims could find where they were by listening to radio or TV broadcasts (although many victims didn't have access to TVs, radios, or even living rooms and cars). Plus, the workers seemed to have a misunderstanding about whether they would go door to door. So, did FEMA drop the ball on this mission? Watch the conversation and decide for yourself ...

Trump should make THIS promise after DeSantis' response to the port strike & Hurricane Helene

The port workers strike that threatened the supply chain right before the 2024 election has been postponed. And the announcement came right after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to send in the National Guard. Coincidence? Glenn doesn't believe so. DeSantis has also stepped in where FEMA hasn't and offered plenty of aide to Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina. With all that in mind, Glenn explains why he believes former President Donald Trump should offer DeSantis a seat in his administration if he wins ... and Glenn has the perfect department for him to reform.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Let me start with -- let me start with the name of the person, that is responsible for breaking the back of the strike.

Now, I'm glad they moved it down. You know, they just held it off. All right. We will hold off, until after the election.

And just about five days before the swearing in of the -- this is going to work out well.

So -- but we don't have that on the plate, to add to the stress of America. At least right now. And that is because of one man and one man only, Ron DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis came out yesterday, and said, yeah.

I'm going to call out the National Guard.

Because we're not going to be held hostage. So national guard is going to go in, and we'll open the ports. We'll open the ports in Florida. So we can get things and supplies in here.

National Guard will loan -- oh, my gosh. I love you.

I mean, if it wasn't for the icky sex, Ron, I mean, I would be gay in a heartbeat. Seriously, I just love you.

STU: Look how accepting you are. You want to talk about diversity on this show.

GLENN: Right. I don't.

STU: A gay Radio Hall of Fame member right there, I've got it.

GLENN: If it wasn't for the icky sex. Yes. Yes. Yes.

So, anyway, I'm sorry. I've -- I've got an appointment later on this afternoon, to burn some books in a hood. But this guy is amazing.

I think Donald Trump should announce a few members of a cabinet.

And he should do it right now.

He should announce, that Elon Musk has agreed to be, you know, the -- cost had much cutting czar.

STU: It seems like they floated that one. It's been discussed.

It's not official.

GLENN: He needs to announce that RFK, Tulsi Gabbard.

Elon Musk, and I've extended the invitation, to run FEMA, and close FEMA down. And give the state, the ability, the states ability to actually keep that money itself, and prepare for disaster. I would like Ron DeSantis to run FEMA. I think he would be unbelievable.

His term is up in '26. I mean, I would wait for that. Would you wait for that?

STU: Some of those ideas are great. That you just mentioned. So, yeah. I agree.

GLENN: You just can't get past your hatred for RFK, can't you?

You just hate him so much.

Because he jilted you. He said, I'm not interested in that icky gay sex with Stu.

STU: Okay. Please stop talking. Not even just about this topic. All topics. If we're going to put a lifelong Democrat into the administration, in some way, I would far prefer Tulsi Gabbard.

That would be my stance to that particular issue.

Just God forbid, for the wives of the other people.

GLENN: Okay. All right.

STU: God, please.

GLENN: We all know he's a Kennedy. So we all know.

STU: But I will say, is -- I mean, I don't know, honestly.

To be honest about it. Really, really love Ron DeSantis.

Really think I would like him to do something more important than -- than --

GLENN: That's fine. Whatever. I'm just saying -- I'm just saying.

STU: I think his job right now is great.

And I could see him with higher office, certainly down the road.

GLENN: Right. And I would give him any job.

STU: I wouldn't want to pull him out of Florida.

GLENN: No, no, no, no. I said, his term is up in 2026. When you're done with governor, what do you want to run? And involve him. But he is -- when it comes to disasters -- that guy, excuse the expression -- is an ass kicker. He's amazing.

GLENN: And used to be, something we really prized that crossed partisan lines.

Just the general competence in times of stress, used to be the thing that -- I mean, I think that was one of the things that happened with Bush.

Where like, he was seen. And I think largely unfairly for botching the Katrina stuff.

And it was more damaging to him, not because liberals against him.

They were all calling him a terrorist the whole phylum they said he was responsible for 9/11.

Right?

GLENN: Yeah. And he hated black people. He was letting people die.

STU: That's right.

GLENN: I mean, if you want to make that case, we can make that case about white people. But I'm not going to.

STU: George Bush does not care about black people, if you remember that from Kanye West, who has quite a journey since that particular statement.

GLENN: Yes, he has.

STU: When the media loved him back then, when he was saying those things.

But what happened with Bush, with Katrina, and a couple of other things in that area of time.

Was that -- it felt like he was incompetent. And his own supporters and moderates.

Kind of independent voters.

Started to bail on him. Right?

And then, of course, the war going poorly. Sort of added on to that.

But that was -- a really central thing of what we expected and wanted out of politicians.

Just, you know, yeah. You have opinions. We may have opinions. You may not like those policies.

In those moments. Are you going to be the person who steps up and gets the job done? DeSantis has done that every single time. Every time.

GLENN: Every time. Every time.

I wish I would have snapped a picture of him. You know, he was holding a press conference.

And behind him were what appeared to be miles of utility trucks.

And he's like, we're ready.

Yeah. You are.

You are.

You know, and he believes in the tenth amendment.

Oh. Oh.

So the unions are going to shut down our ports.

Well, no. I'm the governor of Florida. And if the federal government won't do anything, I'm calling out our National Guard.

And we'll keep those ports open.

That's the reason they folded. They lost all of their power.

In negotiation. They lost all of it.

So it was -- thank you, Ron DeSantis for saving the country on that one.

STU: Can I ask you, Glenn, about -- and this is lower priority, than the stuff you have been talking about.

When it comes to your trip to North Carolina, yesterday in this whole region.

But there is a political concern here. Right?

We have an election that is a month away.

GLENN: I have to tell you.

May I tell you a quick story on this? A couple days ago, we rescued a woman who was up -- two women that were up on a mountain.

And they were flagging the helicopter. And we were taking somebody else to the hospital, I think. And so the other helicopter was called. And they came.

And they picked him up. They brought him down, from the mountain.

They were out of food and everything.

And one of the first things they said was, before we go back up, we need to vote.

Can you -- can you take us?

I mean, these people are pissed.

They are pissed.

If -- if North Carolina does not go hard for Trump. I would be shocked.

STU: Really?

GLENN: Oh, they're pissed. They are pissed.

STU: That's a big part of the reason I'm asking.

Because, you know, this is a key swing state.

I -- I think Donald Trump, if he doesn't win North Carolina. I don't think he could win.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I mean, there's a path. It's possible.

But I think it's super unlikely if he doesn't win North Carolina.

GLENN: I mean, the very, very cynical part of me. Which is almost all of me at this point.

Says, one of the reasons they're not helping there.

You've just taken out a swath of Trump supporters. Okay.

This is -- this is --

STU: Some have died.

But also some have -- totally --

GLENN: That's what I mean. You can't get two polls.

These people. They don't have cars. Their bridges are washed out.

It will be tough. But I'll tell you, I -- I met several people.

The old lady?

Who we rescued. She's like 80 years old.

She's fantastic.

And she didn't know who I was. Or who Cory Mills was.

We were just helping her get into the -- and as she's being put into the Life Flight, she's just this, damn Biden, he doesn't give a flying crap. And she was colorful.

And I thought, hmm. I think I know who she's voting for.

You know. And this used to be Democratic country.

STU: Oh, really?

Because I think of that part of it is seen as more red.

GLENN: You do now.

These were tobacco farmers. Okay?

And, you know, they don't have health care.

They don't. These are poor, poor people.

And so, you know, they've been for government assistance. Because they've needed government assistance.

But now they see what this government assistance really means. No. They're not interested.

This has turned people, at least in that area, I think this has made them generational Republicans.

STU: Just because of how bad this response has been.

GLENN: Everybody I -- everybody I talk to, was pissed at the federal government.

They were pissed.

I heard -- I can't tell you how many times I heard, yesterday.

Really.

How much money are they giving to these illegal immigrants?

And we've got nothing. No one is on the ground.

I'm telling you, I didn't see National Guard. I know the National Guard is there.

They've been there for four or five days.

But I didn't see any of them.

And I was in, really, some of the hardest hit areas.

I didn't -- there was no federal anything, except the satellite truck for FEMA.

Which wasn't working at the time, but they're going to -- they are where the people are. No, they weren't. They're out in the middle of nowhere.

Signing people up. So they can get their paperwork in. And start the system, to help chug along.

And there was -- they were helping one person.

It was despicable. Then there was another place, where FEMA was at another center, where they were -- they put up showers. So people could take showers.

Which I thought was really nice. Until they said, no. Not for the people.

But for the volunteers. So the volunteers could take showers. Not the people! Anybody could go and take a shower.

It was -- it's obscene! It's obscene!

When -- when Mercury One is the one that is providing all of the O2 for all of the ambulances and one of the hospitals, because they can't get it. When that's happening.

Excuse me, federal government, when there are people, literally, we're saving their lives.

Because we're providing insulin and life-saving drugs, that they can't. That nobody else has.

Government is not there, handing out these drugs.

I mean, you can go into the cities. You can go into homeless areas. You know, they'll hand you drugs there.

You know, lots of drugs.

You need heroin. They'll help you out on this.

But insulin. They're not there.

It is -- it is shameful.

I started telling you earlier today off the air.

I asked you. Do you remember the day I came in. When we were air vacking people out of Afghanistan? I should say, trying to.

We had an Air Force there, of 737s. And 747s on the ground in Iraq. Sorry, Afghanistan. And the State Department was blocking us. And then something happened that day, where they mocked us. They mocked us.

The State Department, we said, okay. It's been three days. We got all the paperwork. That you told us, we had to have. Everybody on paperwork.

Oh, no. You need form 117B. What is that form? It's a new form. Okay. Where do we get that form?

Well, you can only get it at the embassy in Afghanistan or Kabul.

You closed the embassy three days ago. Yeah. Well, how do we get that?

Well, it's just something you're going to have to figure out. Click.

I walked right on to your stage. And I was so mad. I said, I will renounce my citizenship, if this is who we are.

This is evil!

I was that close yesterday.

This country is so good, so good, the people are so good, and it's the government that has gone very dark.

They don't care!

I know we have the most compassionate politically correct people who just want the whole rainbow to come together.

They despise. They despise great swaths of people.

San Francisco goes down. And they need help.

You damn right, Mercury One will be down on the ground.

And we won't be saying, who did you vote for?

We will help them.

Appalachia goes down. We're all out of money.

Oh, my gosh.

You print money!

You print money!

I can't take it.
