Why Venezuela's Election Chaos Is a WARNING For America

The White House is now calling on the Venezuelan government to release detailed voting data amid claims of election fraud ... oh, the irony! Can no one in the media see it, Glenn asks? Glenn connects the dots that the media has missed about how Venezuela went from one of the wealthiest nations in the world to one of the most chaotic: A corrupt government, an embrace of socialism, a "reform" of their Supreme Court, a focus on "experts" ... is any of this sounding familiar?

GLENN: Well, hello, Stu.

STU: Hi, Glenn. How are you? That's how we're starting the show today? This voice?

GLENN: Yeah. We're going to talk like cartoon people. Because I think everything that is happening in the world is a giant cartoon.

STU: That is where we are, I think right now at this point. None of it seems real.

GLENN: It is. That's the only way you can look at it. None of it seems real.

And you're standing off to the side. What was that science fiction movie 2000.

STU: 2000. Yeah.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Yes, yes.

I feel like those guys sitting in front of the screen. Just watching the world unfold every day.

Like, this is going to work out well. You know what I mean?

Just, it's nuts what's happening. And the fact that no one can connect the dots.

Now, I've always been a dot connector. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm wrong.

But I always look at things. I can take things. Different things and ideas, that don't seem to be connected, but I can see them connected. And then I can find the connection to prove it to you. Many times.

and that is a skill, I guess. Or a curse.

But it appears to me, no one has that skill. Or maybe it's like, I don't want to look at that. I don't want to look at that.

Why would I look at that? The Venezuela story. Oh, I don't know.

Are there a couple of dots we could connect here?

Is there anything we could look at like, hmm. I wonder what we're doing here.

They started. It was a rich country! It was a country, where they weren't eating the zoo animals. Oh, just a few years ago.

It was the third richest country in the western hemisphere.

Has oils and resources, like nobody's business. Sound familiar?

Okay. Let's just keep that one over there. Rich country.

All kinds of resources. Could make it on their own.

If they just wouldn't go country, and go to socialism.

But what did they do? They go corrupt, and immediately go to socialism. How do they go to socialism?

They begin to talk down democracy. They begin to say, this republic. This Constitution isn't right.

And so Hugo Chavez. He is -- he is thrown in jail, by the president of Venezuela.

And nobody thinks that's right. He's like, I have to get out of -- and he gets out of jail.

And he replicates again. And this time, he wins.

Why? Because generally, the people don't like it, when you put their candidate in jail!

They don't think that's fair. Hmm. Is there another dot we can connect?

So then when he gets in, the first thing he does, is he changes the makeup of the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute. I'm seeing another dot on the horizon.

Then what does he do?

Well, then he starts talking about how we've just got to nationalize health care. Because health care costs are out of -- out of site. It's crazy.

We can't get anybody to have health care. So we've got to nationalize it. And it's going to save you like $2,000 per family. Every single year. And what does it do?

It jacks the price of -- of health care through the roof. And then the health care system collapses. And nobody can get anything.

Is there another dot we see?

Then they start jacking with the oil. Because, well, these big oil companies, they're just evil, you know.

And there was corruption. Why was there corruption. Because the government got involved with a private company.

And when the government gets involved, then there's you all kinds of things that are going on behind the scenes that nobody knows. And everybody starts enriching themselves, at the upper level, but not anywhere down below.

Is there another dot, we could connect?

So then they hire a man of the people. They hire a guy that, you know what, you know what, we need? Chavez is dead now. Gosh darn it, miss him. But let's keep going down this road. So they hire an expert.

A guy who was a bus driver. He was, a bus driver. He had no money. You know, much like the Obamas, when he went into office. I'm sure he had student loans. He couldn't afford his mortgage. He was an average, everyday guy struggling like you. And lo and behold, he's the president. And all of a sudden, he and his children are the wealthiest in Venezuela.

How did that happen, as a public service -- I mean, Maduro.

How does that happen? How come everybody in government, who claims, oh, I'm just trying to save the people, become incredibly rich and powerful.

How does that work, exactly. I'm trying to figure that out.

Did they all win lotteries. Or is there something else going on?

Now, they had problems with their voting machines. They just held an election. And everybody was talking about the voting machines.

Voting machines. This is bad. Not good. The voting machines. Voting machines. All kinds of corruption.

No, no, no, no. No corruption. No corruption.

Corruption. It's going to be bad. Maduro's -- the guy he was running against was like 30 points ahead, 30 points ahead.

And then when it comes to a vote, well, we've got to -- we're going to take a break. We'll take a break.

We're vote counting. It's sleepy. It's 9:30 at night. We have to get to bed. And then they count. And lo and behold, Maduro wins. We just found some ballots in Detroit.

Does anybody see a single dot here!

It's insane. It's -- do we have that -- that crazy music, that we -- that we may Sara, for stuff like this. When it's just -- it's the one with the horn honk. No. But that's appropriate too. That's appropriate too.
(music)
So, anyway, now he's president. It's like this. Is this the one with the horn honk? I think so. So he is -- so he's now president, and what did he do? Well, he consolidated power, in their Pentagon. You know, got rid of anybody that might be -- you know, might be against him.

So they got rid of him. Gee, isn't that what -- wait a minute. Didn't we stand our army down to do that right after? Well, that's weird. So now he has the complete support of the army. And they're out quelling these crazies that are saying, the election was stole. Was stolen. Because these people -- it's the worst thing to happen in Venezuela, since I don't know. The Civil War. And they're going into Civil War.

Now, I've been watching the news. And I haven't heard anyone pluck out a single parallel story here.

I haven't seen a single person on -- you know what I'm seeing on TV? This is bad. Look at this. Look at this. I mean, the people were crying out, saying there was corruption.

And now he's trying to -- he changed the Supreme Court again.

Now he's doing it again. This is out of control.

First of all, he was trying to arrest his opponent.

So I do believe, Stu. That for the rest of the show, we should just talk like this.

Because everything is a cartoon. I wouldn't be surprised.

Secret Service says, Donald Trump was not hit by a bullet. We believe, a safe fell out of the sky.

Why not?

STU: I've always believed acme was in on all of this. It's been Acme from the beginning.

Yeah.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Would you have been surprised if the guy up on the roof, would have had a big, black, round, bowling ball of a bomb. And lit the fuse.

And was wearing a fedora. And was like, shh. And he's lighting the fuse, and everybody is in the crowd going, there's a guy in a black fedora with a big black acme bomb. And he's lit it. And he will throw it towards the president. Why not?

Why not? Why is the crap that they're saying to us, right now, less believable?

STU: Every day, they update that story. Yeah. Every day they update that story.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. They do.

STU: He's there earlier. Like, I remembered when this story broke, I had a conniption on the vacations, saying, hey. How the heck was this guy up there for 90 seconds?

90 seconds! He was on the roof for 90 seconds?

And somehow they let him up there? You get updates. Eh, it was actually 26 minutes. Actually, he built a condo on the complex, six months ago, and has been living there, casing the entire field since then.

I don't -- every day, the story is worse.

GLENN: He was halfway finished with a tunnel that he was building from the roof to the lectern where Trump was. I just couldn't get it done in time.

Yeah. Now -- now we're starting to find out something about him.

The FBI has come out, and said, oh, no.

We have some evidence for you.

We think we might have -- we think we might have a motive.

Okay. First of all, I'm pretty sure, his motive was, to kill the president.

I think that's what his motive was. I don't know. What are you getting up for today? To ever, well, I was going to have some brand flakes, but I decided I will kill Donald Trump. That's what motivated him.

STU: Along with the brand flakes.

GLENN: Right. You eat brand flakes at that age.

STU: Twenty-eight cause weird outcomes, no doubt about that. And look, you have a situation where --

GLENN: Absolutely no footprint digitally. That happens all the time. He's never said a word, on the internet. Oh, yeah. And he's got a phone and everything. He's not crazy. He's got a phone. But he has zero footprint. He left us nothing. Except now we just found go!

Wait until you hear this story.

You're going to talk like this too, in just a few minutes.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half-hour is Lear Capital. You know, some would say, things are weird right now.

Not me. No, no. Not me. People are weird. Especially those Republicans. What a bunch of weirdos. By the way, you can go to Glenn Beck merch. And do we have the T-shirt?

I made two T-shirts for J.D. Vance.

One of them is -- well, I would hate to say, that I just lifted the artwork from Portland. And they have -- Portland, you know, campaign, that they had up on billboards. Keep Portland weird.

But it looks kind of like that.

The T-shirt just says, keep J.D. Vance weird. And the other one, you remember the -- keep calm and carry on.

This one is just Keep Calm and J.D. Vance weird. You can get them at Glenn Beck merch right now. Anyway, things are weird. What will they do next? Review next thing you'll know, the Republicans will say, hey, we shouldn't have a national digital currency.

That could be really bad.

Mark of the beast. You know, something like that.

Thank goodness, people who don't know what a woman is. So I'm not sure that they can put that together. Terrible changes will come. And we have to be prepared for it, as a people. If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is if you have any extra money, you need to put some of that money, in a hedge. Something that will hold up, if the dollar goes down. If dollar goes down, inflation goes up. What grows?

Well, gold is always that hedge. Gold or silver, now from Lear Capital. Thousands of five-star reviews, and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee. Precious metals leader, that you can trust.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
So the FBI director says, now there is no doubt. And there never has been any doubt about Trump.

He was hit by a bullet. No matter what, Director Wray was saying. It was a bullet. It only took us two weeks to find that out. Man, these guys are on top of it, aren't they? Now, the FBI also has come out and they believe hmm.

That Crook, his -- his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, was because he was motivated by, Stu.

STU: The desire to assassinate Donald Trump.

GLENN: Yes. But what was really behind that?

STU: Brand flakes?

GLENN: No. No. Stop listening to those conspiracy theorists.

He was extreme in his view of illegal aliens. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

And he also had extreme anti-Semitic comments. Now, the FBI released the story. And the headlines are all extreme anti-Semitic comments online. I thought he had no digital footprint. Now he found extreme anti-Semitic. Okay. Well, that would make him part of the left.

Which is weird. Because that's where the Nazis belong. On the extreme left. Not the right.

So he is now an anti-Semite. And he also said some vicious things about the border. And what's happening to our country.

Sounds to me, like he's a right-wing nut job.

STU: Well, I think there's a logical line there from someone who is upset about open borders. And immediately goes to assassinating Donald Trump.

Like is there any sense in that?

Is there any logic in that path there? I don't --

GLENN: Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Go with that for a second. Tell me why there's no logic in that. Because I have another story that you can help figure out. Go ahead.

STU: Well, Donald Trump is the most visible person in America, arguing for tighter Border Patrol.

If you're upset about what's going on, on the border, assuming it wasn't like, we have kids in cages thing, you know, with AOC crying in her $3,000 suit at the border fence. You would think, that Donald Trump would be your -- would be your hero. If -- if that were true.

GLENN: Yeah. If that's what you really -- okay. Can you help me figure this out? Because remember, you just said there's no real logic to that.

Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has received critical endorsements from the mayors of some of the largest towns on the Arizona/Mexico border.

I trust her to meet the needs of our border cities and towns, without taking advantages of us for her own personal gain, like her opponent.

The border mayors in Arizona, trust that the border czar. Non-border czar, is the one to fix the problem.

It's like, there is a little miniature shooter on the -- a slopy kind of roof, in my head, just killing brain cells.

Every time. I listen to the mainstream media.

So everything is fine, everybody. Hey!

I got a funny nose.

And J.D. Vance is weird.

Chalkboard Breakdown: How George Soros & the 'Deep State' funnel YOUR money to radical groups

Where do these massive left-wing radical groups get all their money from? Much of it is effectively a scam that occurs using your tax dollars to fund these groups that you would never support on your own. Glenn Beck heads to the chalkboard to expose the connections so you can visualize exactly how someone like George Soros manipulates the system.

You WON’T BELIEVE this leftist demand for ICE

As ICE agents continue to conduct immigration raids throughout the country, the Left is demanding that they be required to remove their masks and show their faces. Could this be because the Left wants to easily identify these agents so that they can dox them?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: There's a couple of things going on. There's a new democratic-leaning activist group, that has now raised more than $750 for mobile response teams.

Now, I know we just talked about Mercury One and their mobile response teams, you know, going -- trying to help find bodies here in Texas.

There's is to confront immigration and customs enforcement during raids in California.

Organization is save America movement.

It's asking for your donation, so its teams can follow ICE raids in real time.

The group began launching its first political ads and social media accounts in June in a fundraising web page.

It shows, they wanted to raise $1 million for the anti-ICE initiative. So far, I believe they have, yes.

$764,254.

Quote, ICE agents are raiding LA in masks without badges, names, or accountability. These ICE agents don't have names, or badges. Really?

Wow. And they wear masks. I wonder why they might wear masks.

You know, maybe it's because the people on the streets are also wearing masks.

Now, why would the people on the streets be wearing masks, Pat. I'm trying to figure that one out. Why would they be wearing masks?

PAT: Perhaps they don't want to be identified.

GLENN: Don't want to be identified. Why?

PAT: They're committing illegal acts.

GLENN: Yeah. Good. Good. Good.

And they know if they're identified, then the good guys will come and arrest them. But seeing that they think they're the good guys, and the police are the bad guys. Why would the police be wearing masks?

Because the police know the bad guys will identify them, and come get them and their children at night.

There's one that's on the righteous side. One that is not on the righteous side. I'm trying to remember which one is which.

So the Save America Movement is launching its liberty vans. Mobile response teams with cameras, chaplains. Now, I'm just trying -- I'm just trying to imagine the chaplains that might be going with them.

Chaplains, lawyers, and veterans. To show the world what's happening in our communities.

What is happening in the communities? I'm wondering.

Now, the group announced its steering committee on June 18th. That includes Erica Alexander. Dr. Reverend William Barber. Ryan Busse. Steve Smith. And Billy Ray. These -- at least Alexander and Barber have spoken at the Democratic National Convention. Alexander campaigned for a -- the -- for Hillary Clinton. She was, you know, campaigning for Hillary Clinton. And, by the way, Hillary Clinton was so popular. She lost.

Schmitt was also the cofounder of the anti-Trump Lincoln project before stepping down in 2021.

So this is just the usual suspects. Do you remember, Pat, when we were working at Fox? And we were doing all that research?

And, remember, we would look into these organizations. Like, well, same 12 people. Every time. Same 12 people.

It was like, there were only like 25 to 50 revolutionaries that were actually. And then none of these guys were revolutionaries.

All of these guys were all political figures, that were all orchestrating and funding everything.

It was the revolutionaries that would be like, yeah.

You go out and do that!

Yeah. I'm going to be here. I've got your back.

I've got your back.

You should go out and blow yourself up.

I mean, it's -- it's the same thing with the mullahs.

The mullahs aren't ever the ones going out.

They're never like, and I'm going to show you how much I believe in this.

I'm going out and blowing myself up.

No. No. It's the same thing with the DNC.

All of these people, all behind the scenes, they're using you.

They don't know how you don't see that.

They're using you.

And, again, on the other hand, I don't see how the Democrats don't see, no!

The radicals now are using you.

Now the radicals are in charge. And be afraid. Be very afraid.

Because they're going to come for you. Before they come for me.

You think they're going to eat us first.

But, I mean, we had this story. What was it last week?

Did you see the story where -- where Democratic politicians are now saying, they're afraid of their own constituents?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Right?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Their own constituents are saying, maybe you should die, so we can get some attention to our cause.

You know, we need some blood to be spilled for a real revolution.

And the democratic politician was like, wait. Wait.

Wait. My blood.

PAT: And they got a little taste of that, during the Palestinian Israeli situation. Because err where Democrats went, they were committing genocide. Because they supported Israel.

So they got a little taste of -- of how the left could turn on them.

GLENN: I -- too we need to go through Minneapolis?

I mean, look what happened in Minneapolis.

I mean, I don't know -- do I have this -- where is it?

There's a story today, on the Minneapolis -- okay. Yeah.

Here.

The Minneapolis -- the Minnesota assassin Vance -- what is it?

Bolter said neither his pro-life worldview, nor his support for Donald Trump were motivations behind the deadly June 14th shooting rampage.

That left a top Democratic lawmaker dead, and another seriously wounded. Now, he's pro-life.
And he's a supporter of Donald Trump. Yet, he worked for the Democrats.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Appointed by two Democratic governors, I believe.

GLENN: Yeah. And I'm trying to -- I'm trying to make that fit.

You're a pro-lifer that also is a big supporter of Donald Trump.

And you go to work for Tim Walz?

I'm just -- I mean, I know sometimes Common Core math hurts with be when you try to think.

But this one is almost impossible. Even -- even, even -- if I say you're right, if you just show me how you got there.

I don't think I can show you that you're right on that one.

He said, his pro-life worldview. Or his deep, deep support for Donald Trump were not motivations.

I'm going to let you chew on that for a while.

That's his quote for prison.

He's waiting for trial.

And the New York Post. Did an interview with him.

He said, you're fishing.

And I can't talk about my case.

I'll say, it didn't involve either Trump or pro-life us stuff.

I'll just say, there's a lot of information that will come out in the future. That people willing look at.

And judge for themselves.

That goes back 24 months before the 14th.
If the governor ever lets that get out.

Now, wait a minute. Tim Walz is the governor. He faces possible federal grand jury indictment this week, after being charged with six felonies, stalking and murder-related counts of killing, of the Democratic lawmaker.

And, by the way, if you're really -- if you're really on the right. Why would you kill the lawmaker that just voted with the Democrats?

Or, I'm sorry, just voted with the Republicans. She actually took a hard line, and a very hard decision, she didn't want to.

But she said, I just feel like, it's the right thing for the state. And it's killing me to vote this way. But I feel I really have to.

And so she does. And then this guy goes and kills her? Because he's such a big conservative?
What? Any of this makes sense to you?

PAT: None. No.

None of it.

GLENN: During two 20-minute video visits with the Post, he said police have withheld key details from his handwritten letter, left by the alleged person in a getaway car. Let's see. Alleged person.

I think that's his wife. The letter which has not been released is addressed to FBI director Kash Patel. My wife and family had nothing to do with any of this.

Certain details of that letter were leaked out. That probably painted one kind of a picture, but a lot more important details that were in that letter were not leaked out.

He refused to elaborate, saying the withheld details related to things that were going on in Minnesota. Huh.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: I also made sure, when I was arrested, that they secured that letter.

I made the request. That they secure that letter, before it gets destroyed.

Because I was concerned somebody would destroy it.

Police found a handwritten note in the suspect's fake police SUV with a hit list of more than 50 Democrat officials from at least six states.

Police found other notes with directions to the Hortman home, and a list of websites used to gather information on the targets.

Asked by the Post how he felt about the shooting victims and their families.

He said, you can maybe ask, if someone believes that. And they love God. And they love their neighbor.

Allegedly, how they could be involved in a situation where some people were no longer here that were here before.

But I'll let you chew on that one too.

PAT: It's so bizarre.

GLENN: A little nuts. A little nuts.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: The letter left behind for the FBI, also alleged that they claimed Tim Walz told him to murder Amy Klobuchar. And others. So he could run for US Senate.

Now, I can believe a lot of things about Tim Walz. But I don't believe --

PAT: You don't buy that? Huh.

GLENN: No. I don't buy that.

You can believe a lot of stuff about Tim Walz, but no. No. I'm not going to buy that one.

He would not discuss his views or relationship with Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: Walz appointed Boelter to a four-year term on the governor's workforce development board in December of 2019.

And then the mark Dayton. The -- also tempted Minnesota governor. Appointed him to another board. The same kind of board in 2016.

So the guy has been working for --

PAT: Democrats.

GLENN: For a very, very long time.

But pay no attention to that. Pay no attention to that.

Democrats, you're fine.

Your base isn't about to rise up and kill you.

Remember warning about this?

We -- in 2008 and '9. I was like, you cannot get into bed with crazy radicals.

You can't. Crazy, being part of the word.

Radical, the other important word.

In crazy radicals. They'll kill you!

When they don't think that you're taking this revolutionary -- revolution seriously enough, which is exactly what's happening.

ICE, they're now going out in the streets.

And they're -- they're shooting at ICE.

And they know that Donald Trump doesn't want them to do that. But you're on their side.

And let me see if anybody remembers where this line came from.

You betrayed the revolution. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right.

Right at the gallows. I don't remember which country that was. Not the gallows. But guillotines.

You betrayed the revolution. That's what happens in revolutions. If you're not revolutionary enough for the most bloodthirsty, they come after you. And they come after you first!

That's what's coming, America.

What is happening -- and I will give you some other stories. What is happening on the streets right now, is a lead-up to serious, serious trouble on the streets. And a bloodbath on the streets.

Pray for our law enforcement.

Oh, no.

Don't even pray about that. Because what could possibly happen. If law enforcement decides, I'm not putting up with this anymore. Because the city will not support them.

What could possibly go wrong?

We have Elon Musk, and Grok four, and his robots all ready to go. He said last week, all I have to do now is download Grok four into the heads of my robots. And they will be able to take care of everything.

Wouldn't that be great?

We could have a robot police force.

PAT: That usually works out well. And all the documentaries I have seen, it works out really well.

GLENN: It always works out really well. Well, it didn't in iRobot. Remember?

PAT: Oh, that one document.

GLENN: Yeah. That one documentary.

But that's because, you know, they had m.-- you know, they had the four rules. Remember?

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: And the good news in RAI, we decided those four rules didn't need to be put in.

So we don't have those four rules in RAI, so I don't know why.

But probably wasn't going to work anyway.

Texas flood UPDATE: We have NEVER SEEN this before

A little over a week after the flooding in the Texas Hill Country, Mercury One executive director JP Decker joins Glenn Beck to describe what he saw on the ground. The state’s response, he says, was unlike anything he has ever seen, and President Trump’s impact was also incredible. But this is just the beginning of the recovery efforts …

100% of all donations given through Mercury One for the Texas flooding relief go to help the community recover.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. More rains in Texas, which, I mean, Texas, I've never seen Texas this green, not this time of year.

Oh, my gosh, it's lush. It's beautiful here.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Yesterday, I was down -- downtown in a place called Highland Park.

And I saw all these green ribbons around the tree.

And my first reaction was, yellow ribbon.

Who is?

And then my next reaction was like, all right. What does the green ribbon mean? And then I realized, oh, this is for all the loss of life here in Florida, in the last flood.

And J.P. Decker is with us now, who is -- runs Mercury One. And, hey, J., welcome.

J.P.: Thank you, it's good to be here.

GLENN: First time, J.P. ever -- we've known each other how long?

J.P.: Fourteen, fifteen years. Something like that. Low number there.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. I lose track of time. But you -- for the very first time, you wrote to me, on day one, and I said, what's happening with the floods?

And you said, we're just staying out of the way. What?

For the first time ever, since Mercury One has been doing this. He said, the state has this so buttoned up, we just want to stay out of the way.

So we were just feeding people.

J.P.: Yeah. We were working with our partners. We didn't want to get in the way of search-and-rescue.

As you were saying, the loss of life on this one, it was horrific. To see what these kids went through.

GLENN: Do you know what the loss of life was, Pat? Off the top of your head?
PAT: Last I saw was 129.

J.P.: Yeah, I think it's about 130, 140 now. And they're still missing...

PAT: Still missing over 100. 150.

J.P.: Over 100. It's horrific.

GLENN: It's horrific.

J.P.: And they just had flooding again, so that means everything moves down more.

That first week. We took a week, when it came down. Because we wanted to stay out of the way. There were too many people, with the loss of life. And the search-and-rescue.

GLENN: Is this our footage?

J.P.: This is some of the drone footage. What's amazing about this, that's not even the river. That's right next to the river.

GLENN: This was a runoff?

J.P.: Yeah. This is a runoff. What's interesting though, walking through this area, there's just regular locals. And probably people from all around Texas, just searching.

I mean, they brought their own shovels. They brought their own pickaxes. They're just trying to help --

GLENN: How do you search and stuff like -- you're washed down. And you were probably. I mean, bodies would be swept up in the logs.

J.P.: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Silt.

J.P.: There's search-and-rescue teams from all over the country. And that's, again, we saw that in North Carolina.

GLENN: Look at that. If you happen to be watching on the Blaze, it's -- I mean, this is footage that Mercury One just brought back. And is that the runoff, or is that the river?

J.P.: That is the river right there.

And right in that area, we are helping the little town because there were about 26 homes that were hit pretty hard by it. So we're helping that area provide, you know, the sheetrock and everything they need to kind of rebuild. But the day before we were in that neighborhood, about 200 yards away, they found two adults and a little 9-month-old.

PAT: Oh, jeez.

J.P.: And that's a week after that.

PAT: There's still 101 people missing. 132 confirmed dead and 101 missing. This is unbelievable.

J.P.: It's horrific.

And it's interesting, just talking with some of the locals, about what they're going through. And almost everyone said, we're Texans. We will get through it. And then when you -- we talked to all of our partners. And they said, this is unlike any disaster we've ever seen. Some of them have been doing it for 15, 20 years.

They said, the response from the administration helped us to be able to help them long-term.

And --

GLENN: You mean administration.

The state --

J.P.: The state and federal.

Because they sent the National Guard. But also the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard got there within no time.

We saw the story about the diver.

It's cool to see when administrations do the job. But we as Mercury One.

You know, we as Mercury One.

We always challenge. We were there, talking with people.

Last week, we kind of said, hey. We will need -- we challenged our donors, a million dollars.

When we say that, our people know, that we do not take admin costs.

It's not saying, hey, help us keep the lights on. To help people.

It's literally a million dollars to help people in the hill country.

As soon as we got to the hill country, we got a text from our team saying, within 48 hours, the donors raised a million dollars. And usually with that, we do have to pay credit card fees. But the donors chose to pay $25,000 of fees to go help these people. And I think that alone tells you, one, how amazing our donors are, but how amazing your listeners are. Because they believe and they trust what we're doing with the funds.

GLENN: I have to tell you, J.P., I am so proud of Mercury One.

And I'm so proud of what you have created. It's -- I mean, you were there, and you are the first in, the last out, every time.

J.P.: Yep.

GLENN: And it's just so good.

J.P.: It's so good to see -- to have a nonprofit where you can honestly say, we're going to help you. And we will be there.

And unfortunately, we kept hearing, as soon as the president left, which so glad he was there.

And a lot of the NGOs left. And as soon as the cameras left, they left. And so we kept hearing this from all of our partners.

And thank God, when we choose a partner, we go through a long dating period, and we make sure that they are vetted and taken care of.

But they're staying. We're staying for a long time.

I mean, I just got an update this morning. We're up to almost 150 homes, rebuilt in North Carolina. Our goal is 400 over the next two years.
And 100 percent of the funds that came in last year, go to help those people. And it's just so --

GLENN: Do we have the money for 400 houses?

J.P.: Because of the donors last year, we're very close to being able to cover all of it. So same thing with North Texas.

We will be there for a long time, helping to rebuild these homes. Even though, you're in the main area, the main town.

You see people kind of going about their business, going to a local store, buying some plants. But then you go right around the corner, and the destruction starts. And so the difference with North Carolina, the infrastructure was gone. And no one was coming in to help them.

Here, there's power in the buildings. The businesses are being run. It's the loss of life, and homes that are gone. There are so many mobile homes that are just destroyed. We talked to one mom that lost her husband.

And she and her kids are just living on a couch. So we're helping provide hotel rooms. We're also looking at helping to pay for the funerals of some of these kids. And some of these families.

Because they don't have the funds for it.

And, again, we're seeing that most people did not have flood insurance, in this area. And insurance companies have already denied a couple of people, that we've reached out to, which amazingly they responded that fast. And we're going to help.
We are going to help rebuild.

Because we want this area to be the hill country again. We don't want it to be anything else.
We don't want people to come in and take over the land, like we've seen some of that in Lahaina.

GLENN: You see that now in Los Angeles.

J.P.: Oh, Los Angeles is a nightmare.

GLENN: Oh, yeah, it's the state and city coming in.

And we told you that is going to happen.

That is your plan. That is a plan that was on the books.

PAT: Low-income housing in Pacific Palisades.

GLENN: Yeah, no, no, no.

But they're also -- they're also buying it up and preserving now, like exactly what they were doing in Lahaina. We said that was going to happen.

And we were like, we can't live there anymore.

J.P.: We need to build like a green space to make sure it's really taken care of.

GLENN: Wow.

J.P.: But we helped in Los Angeles as well.

With generators to the local churches. And we're helping, because of what some of our donors did, rebuild some of those local churches, that were destroyed. And no insurance.

And not to say, no one is going to help them.

It's just, there's so many little stories, that we can tell for generations about what Mercury One has done.

GLENN: It's really an amazing thing.

And, you know, I'm amazed at how well the money is managed.

And how far you guys make this money go.

It is really remarkable.

J.P.: Takes an amazing team.

GLENN: Yeah. And I know we have some announcements coming.

And I'm really excited.

J.P.: Me too.

GLENN: Next year will be a really exciting year for Mercury One.

Thank you.

J.P.: Thank you.

GLENN: If you want to get involved, all you have to do is go to MercuryOne.org.

MercuryOne.org.

When there's a disaster, we're there.

And I will tell you, I don't know if either one of you know why I say, 100 percent goes -- when we raise something like this, it goes to whatever it is we're talking about.

You want to raise something. You want to give something now to Texas.

You go to the website.

And say, I want to help this disaster.

And it 100 percent goes there.

Do you know why that is?

To an what happened?

What gave me this idea years ago?

It was right after 911.

And it was a year after.

And remember all of the fundraisers of the Red Cross did.

St. Paul of these big shows.

And we raised all this money.

And I find out about a year later, that they spent I can't remember.

It was -- it was just around a million dollars, I think.

On a new phone system.

PAT: I remember that.

GLENN: You remember that? It was the Red Cross.

And I lost my mind.

Like, you're kidding me, right?

We stood in line, to give blood.

We gave money. We wanted to make sure it was going to the firefighters.

It was going to rebuild, whatever.

And you bought a new phone system with that money.

And it drove me out of my mind.

And I said, if I ever started a charity.

Actually, it wasn't even that.

It was, I want to find the charity that will guarantee me, that none of that crap comes out of the money I'm giving.

I'm not giving so you can get a new phone system. Raise that another way.

J.P.: It's still hard to find that kind of a nonprofit.

PAT: Oh, really hard. And anybody who does over 60 percent, is usually unusual. If 60 percent of your donation goes to where you intend for it to go and then 40 percent administration, that's unusual.

GLENN: Well, everything that we raise, right?

Can we say this? Right? Everything that we raise, when it is earmarked. We have a general fund. And we mark that clearly. That this is to keep the lights on.

But that's why we usually do these fundraisers. But everything -- everything goes right directly to the source.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: That's unheard of.

PAT: It's incredible.

GLENN: Thank you. Appreciate it.
It's MercuryOne.org. MercuryOne.org. And thank you, as an audience, you amaze me. You truly amaze me.

You give me so much hope.

That there are -- there's good, profound -- profound good left in this country.

And every day -- you know, I don't open up the mail and see the checks.

I do get a report, you know, every quarter when the board meets. And I see, it's not coming in, in -- you know, 100,000-dollar chunks. It's coming in, in ten, 20, 50, 100 dollar chunks.

People who are just -- they don't have the money to give big.

It's just so many people, just doing what they can. And I wish I could share -- I wish I could share that hope with you. I wish you could see what I see from my vantage point. It's remarkable what this audience really is.

Has Elon Musk Gone TOO FAR with Insane New 'GROK 4' AI System?

Elon Musk's new Grok 4 Artificial Intelligence has again accelerated the technological arms race which may soon become beyond our control. Glenn Beck breaks down what’s coming in the next year with AI, which even Elon Musk called “terrifying.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Last night, Elon Musk is touting this -- this AI.

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

And I'm quoting. This is one of them.

It's somewhat unnerving to have created intelligence that's greater than our own.

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

Now, this is a man who has launched rockets, you know, into orbit.

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

You know, after he sees the results of it. He says, you know, it's really -- in a way, quite terrifying to see what it's doing.

But we just have to make sure that it remains good!

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

Now, the key point in the announcement was the mention of ARC-AGI.

I had never heard of ARC-AGI. I had no idea what it was. But I noticed AGI. And I went, uh-oh. That sounds important. So this is the gold standard. The bench mark testing for artificial general intelligence.

Okay.

As I've said before, AGI. Artificial General Intelligence is a machine that matches all human cognition, across all domains.

Reasoning, creativity.

Problem solving. Not just specialized tasks like playing Go or analyzing x-rays. Everything. For instance, Musk said by mid-next year to the latest end of next year, it will be able to create a full length movie, just from a text prompt.
And do it all at once!

So, in other words, it will say, create a movie, and you just explain the Godfather.

It will do the casting. It will do the writing. It will do the filming, if you will. It will -- score the music, and it will happen that fast.

Almost in realtime. We are nowhere near the computational power now, to do that separately.

But this will do it all at once. It will make a movie with all of it, simultaneously.

So the arc AGI system is the benchmark on how close we are to AGI. Remember, scary things happen at AGI.

Terrifying things happen at ASI. ASI could be a matter of hours, or days after we hit AGI.

Grok 4 scored 16.2 percent on the ARC-AGI scale.

Why is that important? You're like, well, only 16 percent away.

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

And that -- they took that test, last time with Grok three.

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

We're at 16 percent. Remember, these things are not linear. The next time, we could be at 32, we might be at 64.

We are on the verge. This is the last year of -- I can't believe I'm saying this. Of normalcy. Okay?

This year is -- we're going to look back at this year, probably two years ago, gosh, remember the good old days, when everything was normal.

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

Everything you and I talked about last night, Stu, about what we're doing in January, make -- put -- does it make it even more critical that that happens like, oh, I don't know.

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

GLENN: You are going to need to know your values, your ethics, your rights.

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

It lacks the full autonomy and the generalized reasoning of a human mind. But it is the closest that we've come.

It's a system that can adapt, innovate, at a level that outpaces specialized AIs by a wide margin.

This is a milestone. This is not a destination, but it's something that should jolt everybody awake. So here's what's coming over the next six months. By December 2025, that's this Christmas!

December 2025, he believes, Musk, that Grok 4, will drive breakthroughs in material sciences.

So, in other words, imagine a new -- brand-new alloy, that is lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel.

And it revolutionizes aerospace and everything else, or a drug that halts Alzheimer's progression, tailored to a person's DNA.

Grok will drive breakthroughs through material science. So brand-new materials that nobody has ever thought of.

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

And chemical engineering, putting together chemicals that no man has ever thought.

That's going for happen by December.

Imagine a chemical compound that makes carbon capture, economically viable. The climate change stuff, that's over.

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

Musk said something that he never thought. He believes that within the next year, by 2027, Grok 4 will uncover new physical laws.

So that will rewrite the understanding -- our understanding of the entire universe.

That there will come -- like there's gravity. Hey, you know what, there's another law here that you never thought of. Wait. What?

That, he says, will come by 2027. This is going to accelerate human discovery, at an unprecedented scale.

I told you, at some point. I said, by 2030. It might be a little earlier than that.

Things will be happening at such a fast rate, you won't be able to keep up with them.

And it will accelerate to the point to where you won't even understand what all of this means.

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?
