Nikki Haley on America's safety under Biden: ‘START PRAYING’

‘How do we make it the next two years without getting into real trouble with some of these countries?’ Glenn asks former U.S. Ambassador to the UN and current 2024 GOP Presidential Candidate, Nikki Haley. ‘I mean, honestly,’ she says, ‘We better start praying.’ Haley joins Glenn to discuss the current tension brewing throughout the world and how President Biden is FAILING the American people in his responses to it all. She explains why war for America is NOT an option and how we can prevent it through the type of strength President Trump demonstrated while in office. Plus, Haley explains why the recent China spy balloon fiasco was just as much an embarrassment for the U.S. (and for the Biden Administration) as the botched Afghanistan withdrawal and why transparency ‘at every level’ is KEY to America’s success moving forward…

GLENN: Nikki, welcome to the program. How are you?

NIKKI: Hi, Glenn. It's great to be with you.

GLENN: It's great to be with you. Listen, I know we have a short period of time, so I want to get through an awful lot.

First, let me make sure everybody understands. This is Nikki Haley. She's running for president, even though she's past her prime, and only uses her brownness to mask her white supremacy.
(laughter)

NIKKI: You know, I mean, I have always made liberal heads to explode. They can't stand the thought that a minority -- a conservative minority female would not be Democrat.

And they just throw anything and everything. And, you know, it's just -- it means we're winning.

They know that -- they know that I pull independents. They know I pull suburban women.

They know I pull minorities. And so if that's all they've got, bring it.

GLENN: Yeah, I want to talk to you about, I'm very concerned about what I think is this march to global war.

You know, we have -- we have spent all of our capital, on, you know, peace through strength. We look incredibly weak.

The president was over in Ukraine. You know, its regime change are nothing, I think.

What -- what are we doing?

Is -- what are we doing?

NIKKI: Well, first of all, this isn't peace through strength. Let's start with the fact that Biden should not be in Ukraine right now. He should be in Ohio, with the people who are hurting.

GLENN: Yes.

NIKKI: And that's problem number one. Is that you never have a crisis happen, and not be with your people.

So that's my first bone to pick with him. You know, the second thing is, he's never shown any strength.

I mean, all we have to do -- you know, none of this would be happening.

Let's see very clear. None of this would be happening, if we didn't have the debacle in Afghanistan.

That sent so many ripple effects. I mean, the idea that we would leave Bagram Air Force Base, in the middle of the night, without telling our allies who stood shoulder to shoulder with us for decades.

I mean, nothing was more embarrassing than that. So that sent a huge message to our allies. But it sent a bigger message to our enemies.

GLENN: So what should we be doing?

We're in Ukraine, just sending everything over. Another $500 million. Now I guess we're paying for their pensions. China is all pissed off at us. They're threatening the Philippines.

I mean, Israel is probably going to hit Iran. North Korea is flexing its muscles.

Are we a nation headed towards war, because we look so weak?

NIKKI: Well, we have to understand that war is not an option. We have to prevent war. The way you prevent war, is, first of all -- I mean, when it comes to Ukraine, I will tell you, I don't think we should ever send cash. I don't think we should send blank checks. I think we should rally the NATO troops. NATO countries. And saying, what are you sending? What are you sending?

And we need to make sure that Ukraine has the equipment and ammunition from all of us to make sure they can win.

They have proven that they can do that. If Biden would have done that quickly in the beginning, and rallied the troops with the NATO countries, we wouldn't be sitting in this position. But what you do, is they have the ability to win. They don't need us to do that. They just need the equipment to do it.

The second thing is, if we see Ukraine follow through, which Russia has lost 200,000 troops. They raised the draft age to 65.

You know he's losing when he's getting drones from Iran and missiles from North Korea.

What we have to do is let them finish the job, and that will send the biggest message to China, Iran, and any enemy or dictator that wants to destroy the West.

Because China very much sees the West as the big sinners, and they are determined to take us over. And, Glenn, I've got to say. The idea that Americans, that American children would look to the sky and see a Chinese spy balloon, looking back at them, is the most unthinkable national embarrassment we could have ever had.

And that's no different than Afghanistan. Because the rest of the world, is going, what in the world is happening with America?

GLENN: All right. So let me go back on a couple of things. You said, provide them, you know, the tools.

Does that include jets and tanks?

NIKKI: Well, I think that, first of all, when we sent that -- you know, if we had sent the anti-javelin tanks. You know, President Trump did that. And that was a big win for them. Because that's what they needed to be able to finish the deal.

We have to go with the NATO countries in saying, what are you sending? But I think you send what they need to win.

But we don't do it alone, we do it with the other country. They will win this. And they will win this sooner, when we stop dragging our feet.

We don't need to worry about sending cash to keep their government going. We need to worry to make sure that they have the ammunition to fight, because they have the will. They are trying to protect their freedoms. They're trying to save their country.

We just need to give them the ability to do that.

GLENN: So when we tell China, that they can't send any aid over, or that will be a line that they'll cross with us.

How do we have any credibility?

NIKKI: I mean, China will do what China is going to do.

First of all, China usually got arms from Russia.

It was never Russia getting arms from China. China typically sends parts. That's mostly what China ends up giving to Russia.

But, look, I mean, you can't trust either one of these countries.

The problem is, don't forget, before this war started, China and Russian declared themselves unlimited partners. And they said Iran was their junior partner.

They are determined to make sure that the West falls.

We have to be determined, to make sure that we are the ones that show that freedom reigns. And that freedom will always reign. And that we as freedom-loving countries, will stick together, to make sure that happens. If they see that, China doesn't want -- China sees what happens to Russia with all the sanctions. They don't want that to happen to them.

So we don't need to be sending threats, saying you can't send this to Russia. We just need to send the idea. That, look, we're unbreakable. This isn't going to happen. You see what happened to Russia, that could happen to you as well.

GLENN: I have said for years, that there will come a time when the rest of the world will sense our weakness. And they'll say, now. Go. Go. Go.

I think we're at that point.

NIKKI: We're completely at that point.

GLENN: And there's no way to -- I mean, there's nothing this president can do, that will send the message, that we're tough. Because we're not.

He's not. He's not a serious threat, to anyone, if somebody threatens us.

I don't even think our Pentagon really is a threat to us, at this point. The way they're being run. And what they did in Afghanistan.

How do we make it the next two years, without getting into real trouble with some of these countries?

NIKKI: I mean, honestly, Glenn. And I'm not being funny here. We better start praying. Because if he's not even going to protect our borders. And you have terrorists coming across our borders. You have Russian terrorists coming across our borders. The fact that he's not even doing that, that is so much -- they know this is the weakest president we've ever had in history. And they know if ever there was a time they wanted to get territory. If ever there was a time they wanted to defeat us, it's now.

So Biden is doing nothing. He's literally doing nothing. And so what I can do tell you is as a military wife, who doesn't want to see America go to war, I will tell you that the second that we start getting control of America back, the second we start showing strength, the second we show how strong our military is, strong militaries don't start wars. Strong militaries prevent war. We have to start acting like the strong country that we used to be. And you do that, not be reacting to countries.

You do it by telling them, what you expect of them. That's what went wrong.

If you look at when President Trump was in office, he and I did it at the UN. He was there. He told countries, what they should expect with us.

I made it to a point when I went to the UN. I told them what the US was for. And what the US was against. I didn't care if they didn't like me, but I wanted them to respect America. That's where we have to get back to again.

GLENN: You know, Trump surrogates are suckling that you're more of a globalist war hawk.

You have told me how much you respect President Trump. How do you stay above the fray, with Donald Trump?

Why did you decide -- you said once, I'm not going to run, if he's running. But you are now.

And how do we stop this from being ugly?

NIKKI: Well, first of all, when I said I wasn't going to run against them, we had not had the fall in Afghanistan. We did have Biden fall all over himself, to get back into the Iran Deal. We didn't see all of these closings in schools. We didn't lose the midterms.

GLENN: Things change.

NIKKI: So when I look at this, I think we have to start looking forward. There have been a lot of chaos in the past. People love to talk about the past.

We've got to move forward. I was a governor. I took a hurting state, and I turned it to the beast of the southeast. When I was at the UN, I took the kick me sign, off of our back.

I am a problem solver. I want to get in there. I want to fix it. And I do think it's time for a new generation do go in there. I don't think you have to be 80 years old to run for president. President Trump is my friend. He's my friend. But I think it's time for something new. And I think we need to start boldly going, where we haven't gone before. And start righting the ship.

And, you know, I think that if ever there was a time, America is tired of losing. America is tired of losing.

And we have to do that. Now, how do we keep it from not getting messy. I'm not kicking sideways. I'm kicking forward.

I'm not going and focusing on President Trump. I'm focusing on President Biden and how awful he's leading our country.

And that's where we're going to focus. And, you know, if those others choose to get dirty. And you see how the south combusted over the fact that I'm running. They can do that.

But I am very focused. And very disciplined. On the fact that American families can't afford their groceries. Mothers are looking for baby formula.

Children are so far behind in their education, we don't know if we can catch them back up. We have open borders. We have our minds closed by woke ideology.

And we have a Chinese spy balloon in the air. I mean, something has to give. I'm not going to wait for somebody else to fix it. I'm going to get in there and fix it.

GLENN: So you talked about a competency test for politicians. Recently. And we didn't have this problem. You know, when George Washington retired after his second term.

That set the standard, until the Progressive Era. And the progressives just wanted to be more autocratic, and keep the power centralized. And everybody can run for as when terms as they want. Which we saw with -- with FDR.

When you talk about a competency test. That's clear with Joe Biden.

It is clear with Feinstein.

It's -- it's clear with our new Senator from Pennsylvania.

But it's not really just the competency of the people in office.

Honestly, that's competency of the voter. How do you not -- it's not that they just won't leave.

It's just, the voter can see it.

And they still vote for it.

NIKKI: Well, I think I am strongly.

And I will push for term limits.

I do think we need to have mental competency tests for anyone over 75. Look at DC. And look at everybody there from Dianne Feinstein to Bernie Sanders, pitched a fit yesterday, on the fact that I said that.

And that's all the reason we have to do that.

It's about transparency, Glenn. We need to realize that government works for the people, not the other way around.

That means that elected officials don't get to go up there. And do what they want. And show the power they want. They need to be transparent to the American people.

Don't forget, when I was a state legislator in South Carolina, our legislators weren't showing their votes on the record.

We had a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and Republican governor. And my focus was, if you are debating anything on the floor of the House or the Senate, you have to show legislative votes on the record. I was completely blackballed. So I ran for governor.

And now South Carolina shows every vote on the record. Every ounce of transparency, from health care, to term limits, to competency tests. When the American people see who is really in DC. When they see what they're doing. We will expose all of that. Because we need to light a fire under our elected officials.

Congress is not working. And something has to give.

GLENN: It's also though, if you get rid of the -- you put term limits there unelected. And not on these so-called public servants. Who have long careers.

And they make up the Deep State. They don't care who is elected.

They're outlasting them. Would you consider doing that. And reducing the size, or abolishing a lot of the agencies under the president?

NIKKI: Well, you first have to start by being able to fire whoever you need to fire.

I mean, when I was at the United Nations, I saw how entrenched they were. Obama was very smart. When he was leaving office, he went and basically promoted all of middle management to senior management, so that they couldn't get fired.

We have toggle clean our agencies out, from the inside out.

Look at our intelligence agencies right now. Look at the DOJ right now. Look at the State Department.

All of those, we have to go in there, and clean house. And I did that in South Carolina as governor. You go in and you let them know what you expected. And anybody that is not walking a line, where they understand they work for the people. You get rid of them.

You know, when I went to the UN, my very first week, John Kerry's sister worked at the UN, in the US embassy of the UN. And she went and started causing trouble the very first week. I told them. I said, get rid of her. And they said, oh, you can't get rid of her. She doesn't retire for six more months. I said, send her home, I don't care. She does not work in here.

You can't have poison in a situation, and think you're going to fix it. You have to get rid of all the toxicity.

GLENN: Nikki Haley running as a presidential candidate for the G.O.P. in 2024.

You can find all the information on her, and support her candidacy by going to NikkiHaley.com. That's NikkiHaley.com. Nikki, thank you so much.

NIKKI: Thank you, my friend. Talk to you soon.

GLENN: You bet. Buh-bye.

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.

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?
