Is the FBI’s search for hidden Biden documents ALL FOR SHOW?

The FBI is FINALLY searching one of President Biden’s home for hidden documents, and agents already searched his D.C. think tank for them as well. But why now? Why weren’t these searches conducted LAST YEAR, when the DOJ first was informed the documents ever existed? Glenn’s chief writer, Jason Buttrill, joins the show to explain how the Democrats, the FBI, and the DOJ likely worked together to cover up this entire Biden scandal just days before the midterm. So, could this be one of the biggest examples of election interference in U.S. history?!

GLENN: Jason Buttrill who has an update for us. Jason, give me -- give me the update on what is happening now with Joe Biden and the FBI.

JASON: Hello, Glenn. Well, I'm sure everyone has seen this all over Twitter. There's like aerial cams from helicopters going over President Biden's house right now. They're live streaming the FBI raiding their house.

Looking for their classified documents. Everyone see that.

No. They're not treating it the same way they did. And this is amazing. They've been in their house.

Sources told CNBC, I think, was the first to report this. It was a very small story. I didn't hardly see anyone recording on it.

But they have been there. And the FBI just recently took a look at his DC think tank office. That took them around 12 hours.

So I'm assuming they will be there probably all day. This is really unprecedented.

Stu mentioned this earlier. What they're opening this up -- opening this up here. And the reason why, is because you're looking at a -- a weaponized Department of Justice. And FBI.

And I think when you look at this, on a time line. I think this -- I think this is covering up, as one of the biggest election interferences in American history.

Can I explain that, Glenn?

GLENN: Yes. Can you?

JASON: I can. So when we first heard about this. When the comments started materializing, Biden's lawyers found classified documents of the DC think tank office on November 2nd.

Why did we not hear anything then?

Because that wasn't -- in the very middle of the hoopla surrounding Trump and the raid at Mar-a-Lago.

Why didn't we hear about this update? Well, just six days later, it was the midterms. They couldn't let it go, because what we all knew was the raid at Mar-a-Lago was just a big political stunt. That's all it was.

They were losing hard-core in the polls. They knew they were about to take a big defeat in the midterms. They needed the whammy. And that whammy was the raid on Donald Trump's house. That's what it was. We all knew what it was. Now we're seeing it materialize. That's exactly what was going on. One day later, the DOJ on November 9th. The DOJ and the FBI decided, you know what, I think we should look at these classified documents found in his home.

I think maybe it could have been a violation of federal law. We're going to look at it. Oh, really?

A day after the midterms. Now you're going to decide? Because of this slow drip process, we didn't even hear about that.

We only just now heard about that a few weeks ago. And now that the FBI is now moving around some of these places. We're starting to see the FBI is completely boxed in. They've been caught. They were outed in this scheme to work with the Democrats.

To tank Republicans. To tank Donald Trump. And now they're like, okay. Well, now crud.

We have to move. We have to do a raid. We have to get involved and show that, hey, at least we're taking it seriously. Will they eventually in the end? Highly doubt it. Because this has been a sham since the beginning.

GLENN: All right. So here's a couple of questions.

First, you didn't touch on what CBS News has just reported that the FBI conducted another undisclosed search of the Biden Center back in November. I think that you might have just mentioned it in passing here.

They -- they knew that the -- that these were in existence. They knew this was a problem.

But they go and they raid it.

And the White House hasn't ever talked about it.

The White House is telling America, that they're very, very transparent.

They're cooperating, 100 percent.

Who is shutting down the information?

Who is --

PAT: Yeah!

GLENN: Is there a single journalist that would like to -- well, you're not going to win a Pulitzer. Because you have to lie to win one of those. Is there anybody that cares enough about the truth, no matter where it falls? That they'll tell the truth?

PAT: No. We just found out about that raid, that you mentioned this week. We found out about it, this week. It happened way back then.

It was almost like a drip process, when they went to move on Trump.

Remember how investigative these journalists were being. They were looking at torn-up notes in toilet bowls.

That's like, oh, exclusive. We found these torn-up notes. Look how careless he is. Then we start finding out about these classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. That's the lengths they're willing to go.

All of this stuff. Like, you have lawyers involved within the Biden administration. You have the DOJ involved, the FBI involved, going back months. And not a single journalist knew a thing about it?

GLENN: All right. So, of course, that's not true.

So, Jason, tell me, what do you think is happening?

Why would the FBI be raiding his house yet again?

Why would they be doing this today?

JASON: Well, I seriously think this -- this could point toward. We know it was a two-pronged reason for raiding Mar-a-Lago, and Donald Trump.

One, it was a heck of a -- it was a heck of a pre-October surprise, for the midterm election.

That's one. I think that was one of the biggest things. The second, they also wanted to prosecute him.

They didn't want him to run for president again, in the next election. That was a big thing. Now, I don't think anyone on the left, wants Joe Biden to run again in 2024. I do not think they want it. He was vulnerable now. But so is Trump. I think right now, they're kind of gambling.

Well, yes. We opened them both up to prosecution. They'll both be vulnerable. But do they care? No. I don't think they care.

I think now they're cutting their losses, and they're looking towards who actually they can find that is electable.

I don't think they have so many people that are electable. But I think that they see the vulnerability of Joe Biden.

That's a bonus for them. And they will continue with the vulnerability of Donald Trump. They will make an example --

GLENN: This is banana republic. This is banana republic stuff.

JASON: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: You don't go in and raid a sitting president's home.

You don't do it.

We've never, ever done anything like this. We've never done it with Donald Trump.

Now they're going and raiding a sitting president's home. That's fine, if we had a Justice Department, that we trusted.

But we don't!

We know they're not after real justice.

So that leads you to what is -- what is it that they're after?

This becomes extraordinarily dangerous, for a republic.

If your Justice Department is corrupt. And the Deep State is in charge, and they can just take any president, and go into their house and raid it.

And charge him on things that Hillary Clinton didn't go to jail for.

Nobody went -- I can't believe I'm actually kind of defending Joe Biden here.

Because I'm defending the process. You should have done this from the beginning. Now they're using this as a political tool, I fear.

Because the biggest tool is Hunter Biden. And the things that are coming out about Hunter Biden are really, really damaging.

It looks -- what was it? Yesterday, Jason.

We had the story about Hunter's -- Hunter setting up the biotech labs. The bioweapons lab in Ukraine.

He was the guy who helped start that. And helped fund that. What's that all about?

JASON: I think the further we start seeing -- the Ukraine stuff. The business dealings with Hunter Biden, the rest of his family. And why they're so hyper focused with Ukraine. And why they're so hyper focused on making sure that everything is secure there.

You know, they have to make sure that, you know, all of those skeletons are completely buried. I don't even think that we're -- we probably haven't even scratched the surface. I mean, we covered Burisma in detail. Now we're getting hints of this. Those are the things we know. What do we not know that we have of our fingers in? This is absolutely insane.

GLENN: You know, what's bothered me so much is the amount of money, that's gone over there.

Because we know most of it has not gone to the front lines. We've had people on the front lines, who would verify this.

We're not seeing an influx of things. Why are all those things going?

You're seeing ten politicians had to step down, because they were taking the aid and funneling it towards their families, et cetera, et cetera.

Ten politicians. We're not monitoring anything.

And I think this is a huge payoff. Did you see that it was -- what was it? $2.5 billion, they say was given out, during the PPP program, that shouldn't have been given out? All went to corruption.

$2.5 billion. Do you know politically, what could be done with a billion dollars?

Ten billion dollars.

If this money is being funneled nefarious places, which is the only way dirty money ever goes.

It's not like it goes to the church. This money is being funneled somewhere. Where?

Who is using that money for what kind of a global campaign?

Where is that money's influence being felt?

We need to know this. Jason, is your -- is it your belief, at this point, that the government is going to move on Joe Biden, more than this?

JASON: Well, I kind of do. Because I don't think -- I don't really see an out on the DOJ and FBI on this. I really don't.

They've already -- you know, the grenade they've dropped with Trump. And now all the Revelations that are coming out about Biden. I just don't see how they can -- they're going to try and minimize and make it seem more benign, what Biden did.

I -- I saw that, in just some of the early reporting on the raids. The FBI search today. They are trying to say, oh, Joe Biden is in full cooperation with the FBI.

And, you know, more than happy to let the FBI search his home today.

There's no difference between that and what Donald Trump did. He was in cooperation with the FBI. He allowed them access. They went and looked.

They searched through the file folders. Looked at everything. And said, hey, let's spread things apart, and put a padlock on that door.

Okay. So he did it. What is the difference?

Really? What is the difference? There is no difference. But you can already see them. You know, calling their shot right now. They're going to try to make this look more benign. They'll probably end up saying, okay. We find no criminality here. For some weird magic trick. We find criminality with Donald Trump. But in the end, they're both vulnerable with the ultimate --

GLENN: So do you think that there's -- do you think there's a chance that this is -- because this is what I'm hearing from people.

The left is done with the Bidens. And so now this is all coming from the Deep State. And they're just going to destroy him and his family.

JASON: Yeah. And, Glenn, just a real quick point on just how Deep State is right now, and how much they're outing themselves.

I mean, just look at the DOJ and the FBI. Look at what they did to the pro-life activists.

GLENN: I know. I know.

JASON: But can you believe that? The DOJ actually -- they knew they did not have a case, Glenn. They knew they did not have a case. They knew how flimsy it was. He wasn't even blocking this entrance. This other activist went towards a hook.

Basically ran him down the street. And then he had -- as per in the court. The Planned Parenthood CEO admitted that this guy had those issues before. He had been confronting people out on the street, which they were told not to do before. So the DOJ knew they didn't have a case. But what did they do? They still went. Because it was retaliation. Their flagship issue Roe v. Wade had gotten overturned. So they wanted to deliver a gut punch, had nothing to do with justice. But they were weaponized.

I mean, this on top of what is going on with Biden Trump are now -- there's the bee sting right there. They are fully weaponized, and they're coming after you.

GLENN: Yeah. That's what disturbs me.

Yesterday, we had a guy who filed a lawsuit here in Texas, against the ATF. On the -- what do you call them?

The stocks. The collapse I believe stocks.

But what do they call it?

The pistols that can turn into rifles, magically, with the stabilizing stocks.

And the ATF said, those are absolutely legal.

They've been legal for years. Blah, blah, blah. Now through a stroke of a pen, not Congress or anything else. They decided, that's a felony to own one of those. In case you missed yesterday's podcast. We talked to the guy who was filing suit. Because yesterday, was the day that it actually became -- in the Federal Registry. Which means, it's now officially on the books.

So the clock started running yesterday. You have 120 days, before you're a felon.

They -- they may not get away with this.

But what they're doing, when you say weaponizing. There are two things that people have to understand.

How a -- a national socialist kind of takeover usually happens. Is they make so many things through regulation illegal, that almost everybody is in violation of something. And then they apply pressure, selectively, to who they want to apply pressure.

So if you have one of those guns, and you haven't filed in 120 days, because you're waiting for the court to speak on it. What's going to happen to you?

They will arrest you, even if they know, nothing is going to happen.

They want to make people's lives miserable, through the system.

That way, they can control you.

Even if it doesn't end up, that you have to be held in jail. The whole process, is the real punishment.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
