Why did Team Biden ‘discover’ the classified documents NOW?

More classified documents were discovered over the weekend at another home of President Joe Biden (…how many homes does he HAVE?!). Attorneys for the president discovered the files when sent to the house to pack things up. But why were lawyers sent to pack up items? Why does it seem like the Biden Administration was aware of these documents the entire time? And if that is true, why did they decide to ‘discover’ them NOW? Is there more to this mysterious timeline? In this clip, Glenn answers all of these questions plus more. And, he’ll dive even more into this topic during his upcoming Glenn TV special this Wednesday at 9pm ET on BlazeTV.com.

GLENN: So Kevin McCarthy, he's come out and said, the discovery of more classified documents in President Joe Biden's possession, oh, that highlights the hypocrisy inside the federal government. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it does do that. It does. But is this new?

Haven't we always said this is this

Think of Donald Trump.

I mean, I could go back in time. Think of Ronald Reagan would have done that. Think of Eisenhower. If he would have done that.

I mean, you could go all the way -- think of Lincoln, if he would have done that. This is the same story. It's the same story.

We got it.

Now, why is this story happening? Well, let me give you -- they found more documents over the weekend. Now, remember, the White House said, we're absolutely done with documents.

They found every -- they found more over the weekend. At another house.

How many houses -- this guy is like Ronald McDonald. Ronald McDonald is constantly building another Ronald McDonald House.

How many houses does that clown need? How many houses does the president need?

He's got to have more houses. So they went to another house. And they went, oops. Okay. It's not exactly over, but these documents really don't matter.

Okay. All right. Well, they're classified documents. So I'm pretty sure that would matter.

Now, they went to Wilmington, and -- and when I say they, they went to Wilmington and Rohobeth HEP Beach. That's where his other house is.

And when I say they, I mean the same people that went to, you know, his foundation with the university.

So who are they? His attorneys. Now, this started back in -- what was it? November, or October?

Where the president's attorneys went to his office to pack up stuff and -- and close that office.

His attorneys. Now, that is the world's most expensive moving company. Okay?

Why would you have your attorneys do that?

Well, I could provide a thesis. Let's say, you know, you have something you shouldn't have. And maybe eudone something you shouldn't have done.

You go to your attorneys, first. Because to them, you don't have to say, I know this guy. What you say to them is, you guys can't talk, right?

I mean, legally, everything I say to you, you can't repeat it, right?

Right. Good.

I've got all these top secret documents, okay? There's a bunch of them over there. There might be a bunch of them -- I mean, I think I might have some of them in Sandy Berger's socks. I don't know. So if you guys go in there, and you find them, just do what you have to do, I don't want to know about it.

Okay. The president has said last week, the attorneys told me, you know, do not even ask about. Oh.

Hmm. Did you guys talk about it before they said that to you?

So the attorneys go in. They find it. And they immediately call and cooperate.

You know, that is big of Joe Biden.

Well, that's why he had the attorneys there. Now, go to his house. But I have it with my Corvette. Ah, yeah. We'll come back to them.

See, that is like the safest place on earth. You have an old Corvette?

I'm telling you, you can't break into -- the garage door opener. Nobody has one of those. Nobody has one of those.

You can't just -- and get in. Because the garage door opens.

It's locked.

You need some sort of like, I don't -- this is even beyond quantum computing, to be able to get past one of those Sears garage door openers.

So we're going to come back to that one. So then his other house, this weekend. After it's all out in the open, his attorneys are there at the other house.

Now, I don't know why they haven't done all of the places they could look. You know, at once. Maybe in November.

Hey, we found him in the basement. You have any, you know, next to your Corvette.

Well, there is that big box that says classified and has big red tape all over it. You know, we should probably go there. Do you have any other houses that -- I don't know why. I don't know why. But they're fully cooperating.

Okay. Now, let's ask two questions. Let's ask two questions.

When something says top secret, to get a top secret classification, what do they do, before you get that little card?

Stu.

STU: They usually do a background check.

GLENN: Background check. Okay. Good. Good. What are they looking for?

STU: Criminal activity. Some way you could be compromised.

GLENN: Compromised, sure.

Or, you know, I just toured the Soviet Union.

You know, they're looking for anything that you've done, that shows that you are on, let's say not America's side.

Or you have any friends that might be let's say, not on American side.

Or you have any business dealings, with some people, that let's just say, are not America's side. And then you also look -- final thing is, is he compromised with money? With drugs?

Is there a sex scandal? Is he -- is he prone to a honey pot thing? Okay. All right. That's what they're looking for.

Because you can so easily need money. And then somebody can come out and go, listen, I'm Boris, but I'm absolutely love America. And I just want to see the -- I want to see top secret document, pause I want to show you how American I am.

I'll never say anything to Soviet Union.

Okay. All right. That guy could approach you and go, so you need a little money, maybe. A little heroin. Okay. I can help.

But I want to see top secret document.

That's what they're worried about. Okay.

Now, wait a minute. This isn't the president or vice president's house at the time, he was the vice president. And he had them there, while he was vice president. And then he kept them there, while he was president. Okay. So they've been in there for a while. Who else has been in his house?

Oh, my gosh! A guy who is constantly asking for money for drugs and hookers. A guy who is doing shady business deals with China and with Russia. And Ukraine. Wait a minute. That's exactly the kind of guy we don't want to have access to top secret documents! Yeah. But he was almost never there.

Well, let's go back to that ultra secure garage. That's the house that Hunter Biden was renting from his dad. Not now with his art money. He was renting it from his dad, when he had no money. Remember?

I've got no money. That's why she's pregnant. I couldn't afford a condom. Oh, poor guy.

So his dad said, just stay at my house. I'm not living there. You just stay at my house.

Oh, my gosh. What a great dad. And he wanted to make sure, that his son grew up a little bit. And you'll have to work for it, a little bit. You know, this house. The most expensive rent in this area, is $6,000 a month.

So I'm going to cut you a deal, because you're my son. You just pay $50,000 a month.

But, Dad, remember, I couldn't afford the condom.

Right. Well, this is a condominium. With more letters. Going to be a little more expensive.

$50,000 to his desperate son.

Now, where does his desperate, I don't have any money son get that money?

Oh, don't worry. He's got a job with like Burisma. He's doing deals over in China. Completely his deal. No big deal.

No big deal.

Joe Biden does not know a thing about it. Nothing. He's not getting any money from it. He's just trying to help out his poor wayward son. Giving him access to his house. So he has a place to rest his angelic head. While dad charges him $50,000 a month.

And what's in that house?

The boxes of top secret documents, right there, next to the garage.

So you don't need MacGyver. You don't need some genius to go, how do we break in, past that Sears robotic arm?

How do we do it?

Because you already have a drug addict inside. Who is writing his family going, yeah. At least dad doesn't take half your money. Remember? He's really bitter and angry with his dad, at that time. He wants his dad to suffer.

Hmm. So what Boris has to do? Hey. I hear you're unhappy about Dad, huh? Hey. Are those little top secret documents. You know, what would be fun, I give you more money. We say, you work in gas industry.

So why is this all coming out now?

Why did -- why did the attorneys go in to look for all of these documents? Why are they turning them in?

And it's good news, right? That we have a special counsel. Of course, it is. It's a very good thing. I'll tell you right now, you say the Justice Department is corrupt. I've employed a special counsel on it.

Oh, good. Let me tie this all up in a nice little bow for you, in 60 seconds.

Unfortunately, some of the best tech innovations out there, also represent the most danger from cyber criminals. Take Bluetooth, for instance. It's a great choice for sharing information between devices, but it's also easy to hack.

So anything -- you got personal information out there, yeah, don't worry about it.

No. Joe Biden. You know what, you have personal information, just keep it in a garage next to an old Corvette, and you'll be fine. Or maybe LifeLock.

They are top of the line in cyber security. They have both preventive measures to keep you safe. And because nobody can stop everything.

Because it's kind of a fast moving crime syndicate.

Wow. Kind of like our government. They also have a restoration team, that will clean up the mess, if your information is hacked into. Don't you wish we had a restoration team, I don't know, in the Congress?

GLENN: Okay. So let's tie this up in a bow. You have the lawyers, special counsel, the House, Hunter Biden. And innocent. Looking like a little puppy dog with big sad eyes, Joe Biden. Okay. Here's what's going on: Back in November, I remember reading a lil story. Lil, as Tom Broadkaw used to say. A lil story about how Joe Biden's White House was now preparing for the onslaught of the Republicans who were going to possibly win Congress, and they needed to have all these attorneys ready to go.

So they were already working up things. Okay.

Sidebar, put that off to the side for a second.

Why would you have your attorneys do this, when you know you're going to look like a hypocrite?

Well, you might want to do that with your attorneys, so you could tell the attorneys everything that, you know, what's going on, and they can't say anything.

And they could clean up this mess, and make it old news, by the time it's used in a case against Hunter Biden. We know this.

They already brought those out. And they were cooperating every step of the way.

We already know that Hunter Biden was paying his father $50,000 a month. And he rented a house where all those documents were. But it was crazy. His dad was, you know, vice president. He has a wayward son.

He was just trying to help him out. That's why we appointed a special counsel. Oh, no. Wait a minute. What was it that I heard from the worst spokesman at the White House ever, on this question?

Play it again, Sam. Play it again, Sam. Play it -- play it again, Sam. Okay.

VOICE: Does this episode undercut that argument? That he would restore confidence? Because here we have in the headlines that he is now under investigation.

VOICE: He's restored independence in the Department of Justice. That's what we're doing here. When we're saying we're going to refer you to the Department of Justice, that is restoring independence as it relates to --

GLENN: Oh, stop for a second.

So the only reason why a special counsel was appointed, was to restore America's confidence in the system.

And it has nothing to do with now Joe Biden, his attorneys, his spokespeople, saying, I cannot comment on this anymore.

I refer you to the Department of Justice. Well, normally, when they would say that, imagine if it was Abraham Lincoln and they did this. There would be leaks. Abraham Lincoln.

He's under investigation. But here's the stuff our inside sources tell us.

This time, there won't be those leaks.

So you've effectively now shut down the story. Well, they they got somebody super special on the case. Yeah. Inspector gadget.

We needed inspector gadget, because he's the only guy to figure out whether you could have a Corvette and a serious car opener and get into the place. Uh-huh. That's what's going on. This is all just pretrial maneuvering. Preinvestigative maneuvering. By the White House. To make this, we've heard this before.

That's just old news.

Yet all of these things cleared up, so they can say, I'm not talking about old news.

I'm talking about what's happening today. This president needs to concentrate on what's going on for the American people.

That's exactly what's happening. And if you would like more evidence of it, join me on Wednesday.

Because Wednesday, on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, I line all of this out.

It's pretty clear, when you look at it. Hmm.

Too bad nobody in the media is looking at it. It's weird. Neither is Kevin McCarthy. I can't believe the double standard of the media. You go get them, Kevin.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

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.
