Glenn WARNS Tom Hanks AI FAKE is just the BEGINNING

Tom Hanks has warned his fans that a company is using an A.I. version of him to advertise a dental plan — without his consent. Glenn has been warning about this day for years — the day when you can no longer trust your eyes and ears. But it won't stop at fake Tom Hanks ads. What happens when artificial intelligence is used to create a scandal or crisis — Putin or Biden saying they'll launch nuclear missiles, Donald Trump admitting to something that never happened? "We are at the 'if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit' moment with A.I.," Glenn says. We are in a crisis of truth, but it's not just from A.I. The Biden administration is telling us the truth doesn't matter and Glenn has the receipts.

GLENN: If you do not have Dark Future yet. You need to read it. We can solve problems, if we understand what's coming our way. And it's coming our way quickly.

I've been talking you to about AI. And also, deepfakes for a while now. I've been telling you for, I don't even know, ten years. Look out. When this time comes, you won't be able to believe your eyes.

Tom Hanks has just come out yesterday, or the day before saying that there is an AI version of him, promoting some dental plan. And he said, that's not me. They did -- they didn't ask me to use my likeness or anything.

But it is an AI. Tom Hanks saying, hey, this dental plan is great. I'm Tom Hanks, take my word for it.

STU: Wow. And he had nothing to do with it. It's all AI.

GLENN: He had nothing to do with it. It's all AI.

When that happens -- when that happens in a scandal. If that happens when you see something that Putin said, about we're going to launch the missiles.

Or -- or Biden say, we're going to do something crazy. You --

STU: It's terrifying.

GLENN: You don't have time. It might not be really.

STU: And what percentage of people, would accept, if they saw a clip of Joe Biden or Donald Trump saying something that was totally fake. A good percentage of the opponents would just believe it, right?

GLENN: Here's where we are.

We are at the glove. If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.

We're at that point, with AI.

STU: What do you mean?

GLENN: The genetic code. We knew. We could take DNA samples. And narrow it down. Right?

And in the O.J. Simpson trial. They said, it's like 20 people maybe in the entire world, would have this DNA code that we could mistaken for one of 24, maximum.

STU: The science said, pretty clearly, he was guilty.

GLENN: Correct, but nobody knew what DNA was.

STU: Right. Right.

GLENN: Nobody knew what -- what that meant.

Now, we're at the same place, to where, some people will never believe something that is real, and always believe things that are fake.

STU: Right. Like people -- they're not at that point, where they are able to separation fiction in that realm.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: And some of it is so hard to tell, by the naked eye.

But at this point, we still sort of have institutions holding that line.

GLENN: Do we?

STU: Right? I don't know.

GLENN: The laptop isn't real. It's Russian disinformation. When it comes to politics, I don't think there is.

If it's political, if it's a dental thing.

STU: Yes, it's still there.

GLENN: But if it's a political thing, I don't think you could trust them.

STU: Let's just say, a fake video came out, of Donald Trump blurting out the N-word. Like, I would say, most of the liberal commentators, and many of the journalists, would -- would say it's true, for sure. And immediately, that would 100 percent be the reaction. But once it was discovered, it would be false. I think many of them would still kind of stick at this time.

GLENN: I think they would stick to it, and say, that's the way he would have acted.

STU: Or they'll say, the media -- what you're hearing. Who knows? They're probably trying to cover for Trump. Whatever.

Some way to make it seem like, yeah. Keep your mind open. Maybe it is true.

GLENN: This is why the truth matters in all of our life.

First of all, who is somebody you look up to? Try imagine a person. Something that you think, that's a person I can trust.

How many people can you come up with?

Okay. That's a problem. How many heroes do you have from the past, that you go, I'm comfortable with the history.

I understand it. I understand the good side, the bad side.

Nobody can take that apart on me.

I'm that confident I know who this person is.

You are probably that person to somebody else. Whether that's your kid. Your wife. Your husband.

A friend. You are probably that person.

And you just thought of how many people you can trust. When that person goes down, you have great grave, grave damage.

Grave damage. Because you've taken a little bit of hope in people away. Please, please, clean up your life. Tell the truth.

Just tell the truth all times. Tell the truth. I've said to you for years. People will not know what the truth is.

Well, people. I was wrong. I'm right that people don't know what the truth is. What I missed was, the whole society is telling you the truth doesn't matter. And it does matter.

Let me give you an example. The Biden administration secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine.

Just today. President Joe Biden's administration reportedly secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine. Despite putting on a brave face for the public, over the situation.

Politico obtained a confidential US strategy document, in which US officials discussing objectives they have for helping Ukraine, rooted out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. The document warns that corruption in the country, could cause nations to pull their support from the country, as it battles the Russian military.

The report said, the administration wants to press Ukraine to cut graft, not least because US dollars are at stake.

The administration is reportedly concerned about being too loud about pressuring Ukraine to tackle its corruption.

Because they are worried that Republicans will use the issue to cut back spending. Use the issue? They would use the issue.

No. No.

The president should be concerned about your hard-earned money.

Everything -- everything that you have made, your entire life, or will make your entire life.

Every penny that you have put into Social Security and your taxes.

Every penny will not make a dent in one day of funding. To the Ukrainian people.

You've worked your whole life for that.

And they're just going to blow it?

How dare you. How dare you do that.

Are you more concerned about you, your special interests -- and I say this to Republicans and Democrats alike.

Are you worried more about you, your special interest, or what you think is important?

When your constituents say, no.

And if you're going to do it, can you at least do it responsibly.

Don't you have, even if you say, you know what, I'm sorry.

This is a representative republic.

So I am your representative.

I happen to -- you hired me to make the decisions for you.

And be informed.

And reflect you.

But you're wrong on this.

We have to do this.

Even if you believe that, don't they then have a responsibility to you, to do it effectively. And without corruption?

No. They don't take that seriously. What they take seriously, is the way it can politically backfire on them.

That's grotesque. Absolutely grotesque.

So now, we know that Joe Biden said, he went and fixed corruption over there. That he finally got the bad guy out.

When we've been saying, this is the most corrupt place ever.

He is so concerned about corruption, that during a war, when the Ukrainians are dying, he's worried that their politicians are so corrupt, they'll take the money, that should go to help them fight to keep their own country.

They'll take it, and waste it. They'll take it, and they'll keep it for themselves.

Wow. And you would send your son over there to do business, with the guy you know is one of the most ruthless oligarchs over there?

If my son was over there, first of all, he wouldn't be. But if my son was over there, and I knew he was with an oligarch who literally beheads people.

I would say son, no.

We don't work for him. You can take a job someplace -- do not work with that man.

That's the least I would say to him.

See, here's the thing. They say they care about democracy.

They don't. They care about controlling the votes.

That's nobody faces the machines. Nobody looked into the last election.

Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.

Nobody will actually pass anything, even though, we all, all of us, all of us, without getting political, about the last election. Or the next election. Just the election process. Do you want only people who are qualified to vote legally, be able to access the vote easily?

Do you want every legitimate vote counted, in a trustworthy situation?

I can't imagine that there is a -- a liberal, or a conservative, an independent, that would say, no to that.

You know who does?

Politicians who know how to work the system for themselves.

See, a democracy, a democracy is one man, one vote.

We don't have that. We don't have that.

Because the system is corrupt. But our Founders were smart enough to know, that it also doesn't work.

Because when the politician figures out, they can just give people money.

And that will make them vote for them. Then that politician is forever powerful. That's why we're supposed to have a representative government. A republic. So people can represent us, and say, no. You're being used over here. No. I'm sorry. That politician, no matter how much he gives you, should be stopped. We have such an important job to do. And this is not the time for sunshine patriots. This is the time, you were born for it. I hate to point it out. You were born for it. You're ready for it. If you're not, you should prepare. If you know our history, you know our Constitution, then have you thought about running for a position? I know that sucks. But have you thought about, there's so many racists now. That, Stu, just give me the Senate list, of the people that we have to have people running against.

STU: I mean, a couple names would be Roger Whittaker in Mississippi.

And Kevin Cramer in North Dakota. Both with very mediocre conservative voting records.

Both for election 2024.

There's no reason these people should not be primary.

You're going to win the state, if you win the primary. It's one of those type of situations. You don't have to worry about losing it. It's not like Maine.

Going against Susan Collins. Your primary winner might lose general. You're not going to lose either of those elections. Mitt Romney was the -- the number one target on this list. Luckily, he's retiring.

GLENN: Well, there would be a son of somebody, if it doesn't get in. It would be a son that runs.

STU: Please, you keep saying that. Please, stop saying that.

GLENN: I'm telling you, I think that's what will happen.

Anyway, you need to get involved. You need to stand up. And you need to say, at it people, retain. In Washington.

Who did this 45-day extension, with the CR.

So what are you doing today?

What are you doing today?

Bitching about it?

What is Kevin McCarthy doing today?

Is he actually moving forward on any of these things, where we're supposed to have passed, in 45 days?

If not, why the hell not?

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”.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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.
