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?

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Epstein's "Blackmail Videos" Being Used for Leverage RIGHT NOW?

What was Jeffrey Epstein's operation all about. If he was at the center of a massive blackmail operation to compromise those in positions of power, who is in possession of that information now? Glenn Beck and ATF Whistleblower John Dodson analyze the details of this situation and give their thoughts on what is the most likely reality surrounding Epstein.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

Salena Zito reveals WHY Trump said “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.

SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?

SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
