Evidence: Did Jill Biden FORCE Joe Biden to Run Again?

President Biden’s performance in the CNN Presidential Debate was shocking. But what happened after the debate ended was even more revealing: Jill Biden had to help Joe off stage and she praised him as if he was a 4-year-old for ... answering all the questions. This caused many to question whether Jill is the real driving force behind Biden’s re-election campaign. But this isn’t the first time these rumors have surfaced. Glenn reviews multiple mainstream media pieces on why Jill Biden may have convinced Joe to run, despite his age. But could this explain his poor debate performance? Did other prominent Democrats allow this train wreck to happen?

GLENN: Sometimes there are stories, that are in our show prep.

And we include them, because spider senses tell me something is not right.

And there's been a couple of stories in our morning show prep, that if you get it at GlennBeck.com, it's free. You get all the stories.

You'll be able to see a pattern in the way that we work as a team.

There are two stories about Jill Biden that bothered me. And I never talked about them on the air, because I couldn't figure them out yet.

But I had a feeling about a year ago, that Joe Biden isn't making the decisions on whether to run or not.

It was Jill.

Now, there's a couple of things.

First, let me go to a story from Politico.
How Jill Biden helped Joe to get to yes for running on re-election at 80.

She is the not-so-secret weapon behind her husband. And unlike four years ago, she doesn't have reservations before he chose to run. Privately, the First Lady encouraged her husband to run again, while giving him the space he needed to process the decision in the way he traditionally does. With extensive deliberations, consideration of the burden it would place on his family, and a bit of classic Biden hemming and hawing. She was involved in the high level discussions around the decision. Giving council when she felt it was necessary. She's usually in the room when senior campaign staff, was presenting strategy to her husband.

She'll ask questions. But she never weighs on the decisions. Said a former senior Biden adviser.

Her gentle encouragement of her husband's reelection run. Comes as she relishes her role, hanging out at the Super Bowl, or the women's final four. And actively posting on social media. Unlike the cliché applied to wives of major political figures, that they're the secret weapon behind their husband's success.

There is nothing secret about the role she is playing. Nearly a dozen aides and advisers in Biden world described the First Lady as someone who has grown more willing to enjoy the rigors and demands of being in the political spotlight herself, and more convinced of her husband's ability to be fit for the job.

Interesting line. When I read that, I went, hmm.

That's a weird line to just throw in.

Close advisers says, she feels a comfort level with her role inside the White House. Balancing the ceremonial responsibilities. Now, why are they making this?

Why are they making his throwing in his decision to run, and that she is feeling more comfortable at the White House?

That she also is really enjoying kind of the power things that you get to do. In Washington.

And it goes on to talk about, he's -- she's always there, taking notes, listening. With her glasses on.

And Joe will always look at her, and go, what do you think?

And she advises him. Now, that is contradicted in the same story.

And it's just a confusing mess.

I read another story about a year ago, that was talking about how Jill was the force, behind the -- the Biden run, this time around.

That she was the one, driving it.

Okay.

Then there was this story, that just came out from Slate last week. Or maybe earlier this week.

What's happening with Jill Biden?

June has turned out, unlike how the Bidens expected. To me natured by a much bleaker circumstance. Namely Hunter Biden's federal trial. And conviction.

Some of that could not have been foreseen.

Jill Biden as an intensely private First Lady, exercised her near perfect control over her image during her three and a half years in the White House. However, that has cracked.

When she appeared at Hunter's trial this month, she faced exactly the same sort of scrutiny and unpredictable headlines that she sought to avoid. Her communications director reacted defensively to questions about this, saying, she's a mom. Of course, she would be there as much as possible to support him. The spokesperson said, at one point -- and it was hard to argue with that. Even as ABC News began reporting the steep cost to the taxpayers of her trips to the courthouse.

Now, when was the last time -- I mean, unless it was Melania Trump. When was the last time you heard about the First Lady's expense?

Remember how they -- they threw just flower petals at the feet of Michelle Obama?

And she could spend a fortune and nobody ever said anything about it?

In fact, you were called a racist if you did say something about it?

Jill was more in her element a few weeks ago. Appearing on Good Morning America. And the View.

By the way, both ABC.

It was ostensibly to promote her book. These were actually campaign appearances. And awkward ones, at that that.

But they were nothing compared to the book she was promoting Willow. Which I have not been able to quite shake from my mind, since peering through a digital copy this month, as admittedly more consequential events played out.

The juxtaposition of poor Willow the Cat, against all else, that has happened in June, feels like a telling example of the Biden's larger comes trouble.

And tendency to assume the benevolent gaslighting might be a viable solution for dealing with them.

So here's Slate magazine. They start out about her appearance at Hunter Biden's trial. And that she blew her, you know -- cracked that she will of just I'm the perfect First Lady.

Then they went into, she's spending a lot of money.

Then they go into this bizarre review of this book, she was hocking, about Willow the cat. And they go so far as to say, it might be good news for Jill Biden that no one is paying attention to this book. It could go on. But here's what bothered me on these stories. And this is why they were included in the show prep. And I didn't know why exactly.

The left does not go after the First Lady. And it wasn't a universal thing, it was here and there.

In this story, you find out, that there were three occasions, that it was just ABC News.

Hmm. I believe that Jill Biden was the driving force behind Joe, making this decision.

To run again. And that there were people in the White House, and people in the democratic party, that knew that was going to be a disaster.

And they couldn't come out and say anything. It wasn't like Edith Wilson.

Because this is what happened. The Democratic Party, under Woodrow Wilson.

He had a stroke.

Edith ran the White House, ran everything.

Put a pen in his hand. And then signed his name. To documents and everything else.

And he was going to run for a third term. Well, nobody saw the president.

She wouldn't let anybody in. And finally, the Congress. The Democrats got together, and said, we demand we see him.

Or we're going to bring up hearings.

And he will have to appear. So they did. She was -- had registered him for a third term.

After the stroke. And the Democrats finally had to come to her. And threaten her. And say, we're going to expose all of this. Or you can go away peacefully in the night.

I'm not saying that Jill was -- you know, faking his signature or anything like that. But she was the one that was getting in the way of getting him to step down, because there were Democrats, screw the country.

Didn't think that he should run for president again. I think last night happened because that same force that has been throwing her under the bus. The same force has said, put him in now, while we still have a chance. Let's do a debate early.

And they sold it, and they bought it. And they did it.

And what happened last night, Jill Biden was the first one to step up, as soon as. He -- well, let me just show you the walking off the stage.

Who was the one walking -- he was stuck. Donald Trump left the stage.

And it was -- this is just a shot from -- from people in the room.

This wasn't what was on TV. Show that -- show that videotape of him --

VOICE: President Trump walking off the stage. The first debate of the 2024 campaign, and the earliest presidential campaign ever now in the books.

GLENN: So he just walks off, and Joe Biden is just standing there. And Jill comes out, and grabs his arm and stands there for a while, and then walks him down, with his arm down the stairs of the stage.

Then they go back into the Spin Room. And here's what she says, when they go back in public. Listen to this.

JILL: Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the facts!

And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do? Lie!

GLENN: Look at him.

Then she went to Waffle Hut -- or Waffle House. She goes to Waffle House. And she's running a little dog and pony show, where Joe is just kind of, you know, still looks like he was hit by a freight train. And she is spinning this whole thing, and leading a show, at a Waffle House.

The hell is going on there?

I think this was -- I think this was a democratic inside job, to get her to have so much pressure. Not him.

Her!

To feel the pressure, that he has got to go.

Could be wrong.

But I bet I'm not.

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
