EXPLAINED: Why THIS Hunter Biden crime update is ‘MADNESS’

There’s a new update on the Biden Crime Family, but it may not be what you hoped for. Hunter Biden, Joe’s son, now is expected to plea guilty to two tax fraud charges AND is expected to strike a deal regarding a felony gun charge. Republicans are calling it a ‘slap on the wrist,’ especially since it seems Hunter will receive NO jail time. It’s ‘madness,’ Glenn says, but he also predicts this entire Biden Crime Family saga is FAR from over. Listen to this clip to find out why…

GLENN: Okay. Everybody -- I want you to just breathe deeply, okay? Breathe deeply.

And after we give you the news, I want you to count to ten. Maybe to 10 million.

There is news on the Hunter Biden front. And it's glorious. And here it is.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. The Trump-appointed US attorney for Delaware. Has reached a plea agreement with Hunter Biden. In which he's expected to plead guilty, to do federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes. Biden also faces a separate gun possession charge, that will likely be dismissed, if he meets certain conditions according to court documents filed today.

Two sources familiar with the agreement told NBC News that it includes a provision in which the US attorney has agreed to recommend probation for Biden for his tax violations.

GLENN: Well, he's been such a good soul for so long.

I think just a light slap on the wrist from Mother Teresa, will probably do that.

STU: Legal experts say, that the tax and gun charges will likely not result in any jail time for President Joe Biden's son.

GLENN: Well, there you go. There you go. So now Joe Biden can go from, my son didn't do anything wrong.

To my son, okay. They pinned some misdemeanor charges on him. But he pled guilty. And he's paid his crime. He's paid his due to society.

STU: He gets away with everything else.

Was that -- did we even -- I guess we mentioned the tax charges before. But have we ever focused on that? Tax charges?

GLENN: He did not pay his income tax for two years. Two years. Just didn't file. Just didn't pay. Had a -- what was it? A 6 million-dollar fine on it. Somebody else just stepped in as a friend.

STU: What happens. People help you out all the time. People say, hey, here's 6 million to pay that of on.

GLENN: Yeah. And coughed up the 6 million dollars. No strings attached. And paid his 6 million-dollar fine. Like two years after the fine.

Let me ask you this: Are you still on the street, two years after you haven't paid your income tax?

No. Sorry. Four years after you haven't paid oops of amounting fine of $6 million? Are you on the street? Have they done anything to you yet?

Let me ask you this: If you are a --

STU: You're on the street, if that's where they left your body.

That's about it.

GLENN: If you're a.

SPEAKER SEVEN: Grueling.

And you go in, (?) and you try to buy a gun. You fill out a -- a form for the United States government. All over it. It says, if you lie about a any of this, you can face up to ten years in federal prison, and face criminal prosecution, if you knowingly make false statements.

Criminal prosecution, for a felony. He's gotten off with a misdemeanor. Now, I'm trying to figure that one out. Because his dad is really all up on making sure we don't have guns.

And yet, his son lied on a document. Signed his name to the document.

Saying, no. I'm not a drug user. Don't have any problems with that. See, this is -- this is why they nightmares.

For instance, are you an illegal alien.?"

If you answered yes. (?) you won't gadget. If you answered no, and you're lying, you go to prison.

And these -- these questions are put in there, to be able to trap you into several felonies. Okay?

If you're going to lie about one, you probably will lie about a couple of other things. So each one carries its own penalty.

And they lock you up. That's why you don't screw with gun laws. Don't ever. I don't know a single lawful single person that has a gun. That is legal.

I don't know a single person, who doesn't sweat, going into another state. Making sure, beforehand, am I legal in this state?

How do I carry it? When you bring it into an airport, which is completely legal, and you have it separated in (?) all of them locked.

You sweat your brains out. Because you could go to prison, if you get it wrong.

GLENN: Yeah. I used to live a intellectual Pennsylvania side.

Which has much better gun laws. Than New Jersey does.

And I was terrified that I would bring my gun to the range or something. Into Pennsylvania. And I don't know. Leave it in my trunk, right?

Then drive across to get gas in New Jersey. Which we did all the time. If you get pulled over there, they ga through your stuff, somehow. And find the weapon. (?) totally different laws. I was terrified to take care of the out of the house.

I was afraid (?), oh, I'll stop on the way home, and get gas. And cross that border. Snookering

We've seen people. This has happened to. That have gone to prison. Moms. Who have gone to prison. Because they just crossed the line like this. And Hunter Biden, with all the stuff --

GLENN: His dad just gave a speech about how guns can just change their caliber?

He knows nothing about guns. I've never seen that magic caliber-changing gun.

But he is all over wanting stricter restrictions on guns.

His son violates a pretty basic one, that is clearly oops your signature is. A felony, to knowingly provide false information. And he gets a misdemeanor?

GLENN: And that doesn't even seem to be part of it. Those will be L just be dismissed. If it meets (?) certain conditions. The taxes are the only things they're going after him on. Think of what they have seen. Way too much of Hunter Biden. I never wanted to see this much of Hunter Biden.

GLENN: I didn't (?) him in a jacket. I don't want to see that one.

STU: But, I mean, this guy has done, and committed crime after crime after crime. Most of them on video of his own cell phone. And yet, none of this is going to affect him at all?

PAT: It's madness. It's madness.

GLENN: Madness is a great word for it. I don't even (?) any one of the hundreds of crimes you've outlined that he's committed, I would be in jail for a long time.

STU: Oh, a long time. A long time. You may not leave jail. If we committed half, a quarter of the crimes, that he has committed.

I can't remember, I saw a total, just the other day. It was like 400 some crimes.

That are provable crimes.

We did not even hundred of those.

We would never see the outside of a cell.

Never. Never.

GLENN: And yet this guy will musical of this? (?) is this how it will really end?

GLENN: So here is the latest poll. Do you think that the FBI report, from an informant, alleging that Joe Biden took a 5 million that are bribe, while (?) by the FBI.

83 percent say the FBI should make it public.

Only 17 percent said it should be kept secret.

Most of those were members of the Biden family. 74 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of independents. And 92 percent of Republicans, say the file should be public.

74 percent after Democrats. This will not last. The center cannot hold with this. Only 45 percent of voters say the FBI is fully investigating the allegations.

Really? A majority, 55 percent said the bureau is not really investigating. That's amazing.

That is truly amazing. There's more on a lot of these things. But let me just switch quickly, on what happened in Montana. The high wood grand jurors shop. (?) it's in Great Falls Montana. It's reopened for business.

It was rated by the IRS. And the Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives, last Wednesday.

Okay? There is apparently it was an IRS violation. So I don't know what that is, because they came in and all they did was take all of the documents on showing who has purchased a gun. That has origination with the IRS.

So what are (?) you doing? The owner has said that we have a good. We've always had a good relationship with the ATF. It's not worth not crossing every T or dot word they just come in (?) and they take 4,473 background check forms.

They include no financial information. So there's no discernable reason, why the IRS would need those forms. What they did was they try to imagine five thousands of individuals Americans' personal information. (?) seized it.

For what? So they can go hassle those 4500 people? Is that what it is? The owner of this group has said, it's (?) for a couple of years. He said, I have no idea or reason why.

I am guessing it's political. He said, I'm assuming that it's because of the style of weapons, that we have. And the press that is against them. The current administration seems hell-bent on getting those guns out of the hands of average Americans.

He said, we have a Republican kind of like thatting all the Is. And crossing all the T's. It's not worth doing things that will get you in trouble.

By the way, the IRS, thanks to the Senate, has hired thetational 80,000 agents.

That for some reason, are involved in seemingly gun control. Hmm.

But the good news is, let me just go back, breathe team. This too shall pass. I don't think the Hunter Biden enstory is done. By any stretch of the imagination.

This is all going to come back and roost. And it won't be good, when it does. There will be jail time at the end for those who have blatantly broken the law. And then used their political connections to get away with, well, everything except seemingly murder.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

The American Dream is in CRISIS - How Freedom Was Replaced by Comfort

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
