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.

Did the FBI scrub Thomas Crooks' DISTURBING past to keep us in the dark?

New reports have dropped linking failed Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks to a multitude of online accounts, including some that were deep into the “furry” community. Glenn Beck asks, how did the FBI miss all of this when they insisted the Butler, PA, shooter didn’t have much online presence or a clear motive?! Or did they purposefully scrub this information from their reports to keep us in the dark?

GLENN: So there's a couple of things that are in the news. That Thomas Matthew Crooks thing.

You know, this is crazy. Went by they/them. Furry. I don't even -- I've been thinking about this a lot in the last 24 hours. You know, the kid that tried to take out Donald Trump back in July in the Butler rally.

It's a year later, okay? November 17, 2025. These new reports are dropping bombshells. It is the 17th, isn't it? 18th. Sorry. The 18th. These -- these new reports are dropping over and over and over and over and over again.

And there are things that nobody mentioned in the official investigations.

Independent researchers now are using the same kind of digital forensic tools that the Feds have. And they're piecing together a bunch of old online accounts, tied directly to Crooks' email. His real email and his name.

And one of the biggest ones was on Deviant Art. Okay. That sounds great. User names like Epic Microwave and The Epic Microwave.

Okay. This site -- apparently, a huge hub for artists. But also, ground zero for the furry community.

Now, we're going to get into this a little later. Because Stu is a big furry. And he will go right into it.

Where he likes to --

STU: Furries are not that large actually. More moderate sized.

Okay. All right. Well, this is where people get into the anthropomorphic animal thing. And they turn animals into half humans. And it turns sexual. And I don't even know.

So, anyway, this kid was not casually browsing. He was deep in that subculture, we find out now.

So that's two high-profile attempted assassination cases, or one attempted and one actual assassination case. And they're both tied to the same thing.

And nobody seems to be worried about that.

Nobody is talking about that. Imagine if we had two. One attempted and one actual assassination. And it was Charlie Kirk and president Biden.

Okay.

Anybody. And they both were deep into the GlennBeck.com subculture. Do you think the media would be like, what's going on there? But this thing, nobody cares. Okay? And when I say nobody cares, it seems like our FBI doesn't care either. Our DOJ doesn't care. The Trump case specifically blows a hole into the mysterious lone wolf with no known motive. Wait. What?

Now, this wasn't -- this wasn't Patel pushing this. This was the -- the Biden FBI that was pushing this. Christopher Wray went to Congress. And shrugged. And said, you know, we can't find any ideology. Or any online trail that explains this. What!

It's right here! What are you talking about? It's right here!

Crooks had at least 17 accounts across discord, YouTube, Gab, Deviant Art, all of it. Easily tracked to him!

And as we told you last week, he started cheering for Trump. And then went a die hard, you know, 180-degree turn around in 2020.

And then he started echoing anti-Semitic, anti-immigration rants, calling for political assassinations, repeating Maoist lines like, "Power grows at the barrel of a gun," and even chatting with sketchy European extremists, Nazis, who are linked to a designated terrorist group. He posted violent threats under his real name for years. Now, listen to this. He also got flagged by other users, who literally tagged law enforcement in their reply! And nothing happened. Nothing happened. They didn't know who this guy was. They didn't search for him. They didn't question him. Nothing happened until he climbed on to the roof and started shooting at Donald Trump. Excuse me?

Do you believe that? Stu, do you believe that?

They have people online, tipping the FBI off, and they didn't even who know this guy was.

They had no idea who he was.

STU: I mean, it seems impossible to believe.

You have one stray comment, that is taken the wrong way online. And, you know, Secret Service is calling you up. I mean, we've -- I don't want to bring up.

GLENN: We've personally gone through this.

STU: Exactly. This same thing.

GLENN: We said. I said -- I said it on one show.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Something about Donald Trump.

STU: No. No. No. No. I'm not going to let you get away with that.

No. I want to make sure that it's clear what occurred on the show was you essentially threatening my life!

And I want people to know. Where no. I was going to say. Right. I was saying something about Donald Trump.

And then Stu got in, and I said --

STU: I said --

GLENN: I will choke you to death. Or something. Yeah. I just need to choke you to death.

And people in the audience said, I was threatening Donald Trump.

No, I was clearly threatening, and nobody called about poor Stu. I was clearly threatening Stu's life.

STU: Yeah, think about that when you're driving in your car right now. You didn't call! You heard it. And you let my life be threatened. And you didn't care at all.

GLENN: That's right.

STU: None of you cared. But apparently people care --

GLENN: That's why I love this audience.

That's right. So, anyway, so, anyway, the -- the -- secret service was with us two hours later. Okay?

STU: Rightfully so.

GLENN: Yeah. Rightfully so. And we have no problem with it. You know, we were talking to them. They were like, Mr. Beck, we know -- we listened to the tape, we know what happened. We just have to dot all the I's, cross all the T's, and just get a statement. And I'm like, no, not a problem.

I was threatening to kill him. And, you know, they laughed and went, yeah, we understand that. And they left!

Okay. That's the way I remember it.

This guy threatens to kill the president and others! People tag him to the FBI and to law enforcement. And they never check into him?

STU: And, Glenn, I think people can say, well, you know, the thing we're talking about did happen on a national radio show. A lot of people heard it.

Maybe some of the comments on, what is it? Deviant Art are not as well picked up. And that's probably true.

Though, we've seen --
GLENN: They've sent it to them. They've sent it to them.

STU: Right. We've seen tons of examples of people making offhanded statements where this has happened.

You know, not just a threat. Which would be serious enough. But constant threats. Dozens of them, it seems.

We're still, I feel learning about all the details about this. A lot of threats from a specific person.

And it doesn't seem like their argument is, it wasn't even on their radar! I mean, that's unbelievable! It's --

GLENN: Here's -- here's bare minimum.
Everyone should be fired. Everyone should be fired!

Not just the top person. Everyone should be fired. I'm sorry. You can reapply, but we're cleaning house.

Because this is inexcusable. Inexcusable. Now, here's the other thing that's inexcusable. None of this stuff about the threats. None of the radicalization. None of the violent posts. None of the furry gender stuff even made it into the big congressional report that dropped December 2024.

None of this!

It was like they scrubbed the kid clean to keep the public in the dark. Let me say that again. It's like they scrubbed the kid clean, to keep the public in the dark.

Hmm. Let me go to the comment about -- from President Trump yesterday. We played it in the news a few minutes ago.

Where he was talking about the Epstein case. Listen to this.

DONALD: We have nothing to do with Epstein the Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this Reid Hoffmann. You look at Larry Summers. Bill Clinton. They went to his island all the time. And many of this, all Democrats.

All I want is I want for people to recognize the great job that I've done on pricing, on affordability, because we brought prices went way lower. On energy. On ending eight wars, and another one coming pretty soon, I believe.

We've done a great job. And I hate to see that deflect from the great job we've done. So I'm all for -- you know, we have given 50,000 pages. You do know that.

Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Martin Luther King situation, not to put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category, but no matter what we give, it's never enough. You know, with Kennedy, we gave everything, and it wasn't enough. With Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it's never enough.

We've already given, I believe the number is 50,000 pages! 50,000 pages. And it's just a Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. So why?

Why is it never enough? Why is it never enough?

Because the government has lied to us, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Why is it never enough? Because what the hell happened here with this guy? What happened with these two shooters, and you're not telling us about the, you know, role-playing as a buff cartoon fox/wolf hybrid with they/them pronouns. And then being groomed by foreign edge lords, quoting Mao and terrorist manifestos. And then going out and trying to shoot somebody.

You don't mention that!

Yeah. That's why we don't believe the government. And until the government becomes fully clean, immediately, on everything, just, you know what, here it is.

Here it is!

Nobody is going to believe it. Now, what does this say about our kids. We have a whole generation now growing up the blued to these hyper niche, unmoderated corners of the internet, with fantasy and porn and identity confusion and hard-core political extremism. And all of it, just smashed together into one stream.

What do you think is going to happen? Family, school, real interactions with family. Real life friends. They don't touch these spaces.

You know, how's -- I feel weird about my body morph into, I need to commit mass violence against the world.

I mean, this is the five alarm tire. When you have two political assassinations. Two of them!

That trace back to the exact same subculture, you've got a real problem!

It's not like every furry is dangerous. Well, I know. I question every furry.

I mean, I don't even know what -- anyway!

There is some sort of radicalization pipeline that is happening. And we're raising our kids in digital petri dishes. Where mental illness and sexual confusion and violent ideology is all growing together!

And then we act shocked when one of our kids grab a rifle. America, wake up! Stop pretending this stuff is just a harmless little quirk. You know, or live and let live. Or we're just going to keep burying victims one after thorough. Parents and schools and tech companies. Law enforcement. Everybody dropped the ball on crooks.

For years! Red flags were out there, screaming about this guy.

And nobody in the government did anything. Nobody in law enforcement did anything? How many of our kids have to climb roofs, before we admit these dark corners of the internet are producing real monsters.

How many? How many?

And this is only the beginning of it.

Why the MASSIVE internet outage is more DANGEROUS than you think...

Early this morning, millions of Americans were unable to log onto websites such as X, Spotify, and ChatGPT due to a widespread Cloudflare outage. This is just a few weeks after the major AWS outage that took a major chunk of the internet out of commission. Glenn warns that because everything is so consolidated, should the wrong hands gain control over our online infrastructure, we could have MAJOR issues...

GLENN: Let me explain the internet. You know, the internet is not some magic cloud. It's really a house of clouds, that's built on the back bone And, you know, built on a handful of companies. Cloud Fare is probably a company that you've never ever heard of. It is the front door and the alarm system, if you will, for the entire internet.

It protects websites from attacks and security problems. So the internet flows through Cloud Fare.

STU: Not flare, Glenn?

GLENN: To -- Cardflare [sic], yes. Cloudflare. Sorry. To the websites. Okay? When they go down, traffic to the entire website can stop.

And most of the internet uses Cloudflare. Without them, the internet would be really, really vulnerable to cyber. Okay?

They filter are all the traffic goes. They filter it. Make sure that there's no -- nobody trying to attack, before it goes to a company's website. So the filter is blocked when they go down.
So traffic can't get through to anybody. All right?

It's a really complex service. One of the most highly valued companies in technology companies. And, I mean, it's -- it's almost irreplaceable.

They have the capacity to absorb massive attacks that will take down companies, as large as Amazon and Microsoft.

This is the -- this is the first line of defense. And it's a great line of defense!

They filter out all the attacks, so Amazon, Microsoft, all the way down GlennBeck.com. All of them -- are -- are hacked into it and don't have cyber attacks. Okay? That's Cloudflare. AWS now, that is the foundation and the plumbing. That's the Amazon. And it is the plumbing, for another third of the internet.

One glitch, not even a hack, just the stupid software bug like what happened in October, and poof, Netflix stops. Your terror bell camera goes blind.

Hospitals can't access records. Et cetera, et cetera. And we saw it last month with AWS. Today, we're seeing it with Cloudflare.

What happens when the bad guys flip the switch on purpose?

Because we're understanding now that this is just a glitch. Just -- you know, there's a wrinkle in the get along.

And we just couldn't get that hitch and glitch out of the get along. And so you know what happens when that happens?

No. I -- I really don't.

The bad guys in this scenario, one of the bad guys is communist China. Because they just launched. We found this out last week, they just launched the world's first AI agent army.

This is unbelievable. This is not sci-fi.

This is real.

In September, the -- the hackers, you know, didn't sit in darkrooms, typing, and trying to get out. They turned an American AI. Claude, which is Amazon, is it not?

Claude.

STU: It's Grok, I believe.

GLENN: Is that Google? It's anthropic. You're right. You're right. Anthropic.

They turned Claude into a Terminator.

What they did is they got into Claude, and they said, hey, pretend you're a good guy, doing security tests. Then gather this information. And put some problems into the system. They scan the networks. They wrote exploits.

They stole secrets from big tech companies. From banks. Even from our government!

Okay?

Because humans just -- when it's in there, and you see that it's, you know, anthropic. You're like, oh, yeah.

Approve!

Four breaches were confirmed.

And that's just what we caught.

There was no human involved in this. Okay?

Now, the computer is on wheels.

Tesla. One software update that goes wrong, and you're -- your Tesla becomes a brick at 90 miles an hour. The internet is exactly the same.

We've handled our -- we've handed our entire lives over to the internet. And to automation. Banking. Shopping. Voting. Talking.

These are all really fragile digital pipes. And now, the AI super soldiers. The agents. Without anyone behind them, just one guy typing in, in China, you know, go in and cause disruption and pretend that you're a friend.

And it does! So what does this mean to you? Well, it means we need redundancy for one thing. I mean, are you safe with your power?

Are you safe with your heating? Are you safe with some of the things that are going on.
Your 401(k). Hacked by a robot that never, ever sleeps. Your kid's school records, gone. Your power grid. Remember Texas, a few years back, when the power grid was overwhelmed? Imagine that being done by AI robotics.

We keep centralizing everything. This is the problem. This is the problem with our government and everything else.

Instead of getting smaller, we keep getting larger. You remember what they said in '08. The banks, they're just too big to fail. Instead of breaking them up and strengthening the smaller banks, they put the smaller banks out of business and rolled them into the bigger banks. So made the bigger banks even bigger than they were.

Centralization is a bull's-eye for chaos. And everything is being centralized right now. And the outage starves the system.

This is a wake-up call. If you're trying to get onto ChatGPT or anything else today, your banks, whatever, and there's a glitch, and it's down for a while.

We need a redundancy yesterday. Decentralize! Again, it's like bringing manufacturing home again. Bringing the chips home again.

Build AI defenses, that don't let Chinese agents waltz right this, through the back door. Harden our grid, harden our data. Or lose your freedom.

So that's what's happening today. Now, let me get to one of the distractions, quickly. The Epstein files. President Trump has said, release the damn Epstein files. But he also said at the same time, it's not going to be enough. It's never enough!

We've released the JFK files and everything else.

Yes! And you know why? It has nothing to do with Donald Trump or Joe Biden or anybody else.

It has everything to do with the United States people lying to its people over and over and over and over again.

Overclassifying absolutely he went. So we never feel like we get the truth.

And then on top of it, never holding anyone accountable for their actions.

Did you see the judge said at a -- because the government made a mistake on gathering some of the evidence that looks like that Comey case may just have to be thrown out. You're not going to be able to try Comey.

What a surprise!

What a freaking surprise!

So he's releasing the Epstein files, but says, they're just -- they're not going to be enough. But they vote on the Epstein files being released. And I hope everybody in Washington votes to release them.

You know, what changed his mind?

I'll tell you what changed his mind. He saw what the Democrats were doing, in selectively releasing things.

Just dump them all out there. Then they're out.

And anybody thinks he's in the Epstein files.

Why?

Just ask yourself this one simple question. Why wouldn't the Democrats have used it between 2020 and 2024?

Why would they have not released that evidence? It would have been the easiest way to make sure he wasn't president of the United States. If you think he's hiding something for him, you're out of your ever loving mind!

Now, that's my opinion. I have a strong, forceful opinion.

I know. I've done a lot of critical thinking on this one.

But that doesn't mean that all of his buddies and everything else, is safe. Larry Summers has just announced he will step back from public life. I mean, he's the former Democratic Treasury Secretary.

He said, he's going to -- he's going to step back. Summer's emails with Epstein, show that the former cabinet official saw late night. Or the late financiers Streisand.

On pursuing a woman he refers to as his mentee.

And he referred to himself in this email as Epstein's wing man. Oh, boy.

He said, I'm deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain I've caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decisions to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fill my teaching obligations. So we've got a guy who is hanging out with Epstein.

Because where does he teach? I think he teaches in Harvard, doesn't he? Oh, good, yeah, let's have him hang out with the young kids. I'll be stepping back for my public commitments as part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair a relationship with the people closest to me.

Like, maybe, I don't know, your wife.

He hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing. But he was, you know -- you know, hanging out with Epstein. And writing him for love advice. And how can you -- hey. I need a wing man!

I'm trying to get this young mentee to sleep with me.

How do you think I can get it done.

I don't know. Nothing illegal. But nothing really non-sleazy about that.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

WARNING: The Fusion of AI with Human Beings Will Put Our Souls at Stake

Humanity is racing toward a future where artificial intelligence, brain implants, genetic engineering, and robotics merge into a new post-human species. Glenn Beck and Timothy Alberino warn this “upgrade” may cost us the one thing we can’t replace: our humanity. With AI soon operating inside the brain and artificial wombs being used for reproduction, the world is entering a hybrid age that threatens to erase what it even means to be human. This is not a tech revolution, it’s a civilizational crossroads.

Why Democrats' FAKE OUTRAGE over "The Epstein Files" is About to Backfire on Them

The fight over releasing the Epstein records has exploded into one of the biggest transparency battles in Washington. Republicans say Democrats deliberately blocked the vote to fast-track disclosure, raising questions about what the party is trying to hide — and why the timing matters so much. Glenn Beck breaks down why both sides are terrified of what might be revealed, how Trump’s call to “release everything” changed the political calculus, and why the banking records may hold the real truth behind Epstein’s power.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Johnson. Can we bring this up, Sara?

Johnson is live. And he's talking about transparency.

VOICE: Concerned as we were about all this. As we've insisted from the very beginning. Republicans are the only party trying to ensure maximum transparency. By the way, I will just tell you, I put the bill on the floor of unanimous consent last Wednesday night. And guess who objected to it? The Democrats.

Okay?

If they were so -- if this was so urgent. And they were so concerned about getting this done, and seeing justice be done and all of that, they would have not blocked the request. Okay?

This is about politics. They -- they blocked our unanimous consent motion to expedite our bill and made us waste all of this additional time.

Republicans are ready to get the job done, to move forward so we can continue to get on these important issues dealing with what the American people demand and deserve for us to deal with.

And so I want to leave you with this thought: Everybody should think long and hard about who is acting truthfully, honestly, and in good faith. It is not in the Democrat Party that has obfuscated and blatantly lied the last four years about all these things. It's not the Democrats who shut down the government and for their own selfish political purposes. It's not the Democrats who blocked the passage of this discharge a week ago because they wanted to have a political moment.

It is the Republicans who are acting in good faith. And I believe the American people are going to see that. And understand that.

I'm going to vote to move this forward.

I think it could be close to a unanimous vote because everybody here, all the Republicans want to go on record to show they're for maximum transparency. But they also want to know, that we're demanding that this stuff get corrected before it's ever -- moves through the process. And is completed.

GLENN: I think that's fascinating.

JUSTIN: I sincerely hope my Democrat colleagues will show the same level of urgency and enthusiasm when it comes to tackling the real issues facing the country that we have to get to.

GLENN: Okay. Top.

Stu, how -- how do the Democrats vote against this?

STU: As far as the -- the bill to expose the Epstein files?

I mean, I don't think they will in the end.

I don't think they will.

GLENN: You think it will be unanimous?

STU: I don't think it will be unanimous.

But I do think that it will pass when -- when it goes through. I -- I do think, it will get a lot of votes too. Because now people are cushioned. Right?

It's easy. No problems, really. Now that Trump has said, release it. There's really nobody opposing it outside of -- they probably want to make sure that they get everybody on record. So they're opposing the unanimous consent vote.

That's my guess, of their strategy there.

But, you know, what a surprise!

JASON: Personally, I think the Democrats walked into a huge trap on this, personally.

I think it's too politically dangerous for them to vote against it.

Although, I do feel like there will be more pushback, than some people could expect on this.

I think a lot of people will flip and vote against it. To me, it's desperation. What they did, last week. Or the past couple of weeks.

Come on! Redacting certain names within these emails. Just blowing past certain journalists that are considered on their side. That were allegedly coaching Epstein.

I mean, being willing to put that out there, is massive desperation.

I think President Trump set a trap for them on this.

I think it was sprung when he flipped. And said, no. We're releasing it. It just feels all too perfect for me.

I think the Democrats are terrified of some of the things that could be coming out of this.

Not to say, that it would be, like, very, very damning. But very, very embarrassing for a lot of them. That's what I'm expecting.

And I'm fully thinking there will be a floodgate of a lot of this stuff. They made a huge miscalculation, in my opinion, on doing that act of desperation.

STU: Why wouldn't Trump then want to -- why wouldn't he want to release these previously?

I mean, seeming, it does seem like when Donald Trump has an opportunity to make Democrats look bad, he's pretty -- he'll take it. He -- he likes that. Why wouldn't he have been in favor of this from the beginning if they actually had stuff on the Democrats?

GLENN: I don't think anything bad on the Democrats is actually there. I mean, really bad.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I think there's some embarrassing stuff from both sides.

But, you know, mainly for the Democrats. But there's not going to be a smoking gun on Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or any of the big ones.

This is the way it always happens. The real kingpins always get away. It's just the underlings. And it will be the underlings that aren't real popular. That's what will happen. That are spendable. That maybe they want to get rid of in small districts.

The Democrats want to get rid of. Because the tells me could have cleaned all of this up, during Biden.

Whatever they wanted to do. They could have gotten rid of it.

STU: Glenn, can we talk for a second of how Trump is talking about this?

Because, obviously, we've talked about it as a big priority before the campaign. And now he's president of the United States.

And now he's used the term Epstein hoax. And all of that, several times.

I noticed in the clip we played earlier. That he started to clean that up, a little bit. And he said, the Epstein hoax.

It's a hoax, as it applies to Republicans.

And he started to kind of change his language on that a little bit. Which I find to be interesting.

I think smart. Because the American people don't think this is a nothing story.

They don't think this is a hoax. They don't think that the idea that that Epstein did these terrible things. Is something that is a nothing story to us right now.

But I think the way Trump thinks about it, is he's trying to deal with what's going on right now. And it's like, if we were -- if we unearthed a bunch of text messages from Jeffrey Dahmer to Nancy Pelosi. That would be a big story.

It would be important to find out why Jeffrey Dahmer and Nancy Pelosi were trading text messages. But that being said, it wouldn't be the number one issue of the president of the United States. Because it -- you know, Jeffrey Dahmer is long dead. Right?

Whatever was going on back then. We should know about it, but it's not necessarily as important right now as bringing down prices and making sure our economy doesn't spin out of control.

Or, you know, the Middle East. Or whatever else Trump is dealing with.

So I think Trump sees it. He keeps using hoax. I think to him, he really sees it as a distraction to the things he's actually trying to get accomplished. When at the end of the day, it's an important story.

About the, you know, they're lying about it constantly in the media. And it's just become a distraction from what he really wants to get accomplished. You buy that?

GLENN: I mean, look at what we accomplished over the last week.

Ever since the -- ever since the -- the -- the Democrats voted to open the government again. The very next day, it was Epstein, and we're still talking about Epstein.

And that's why he's changed. That's why he's changed. He knows, that this is just not going to go away. And I think he alluded to it in his statement yesterday, it's still not going to go away. It's never going to be enough. It's never going to be enough.

But let's just release everything. And show you what it is. And, you know, if there is anything there, about the Democrats.

I don't think it will be about Bill Clinton. I think it will be about smaller Democrats.

And Democrats that are passed their prime or out. You know, I just don't think they're going to be -- they're going to be anything that's big in it.

Maybe. But I don't think so. I think where you will find big things. Was yesterday. Or the day before. Was he was going to look into the banking records. He wants to see all of Epstein's transactions. And who was sending money where, et cetera, et cetera.

That's where you're going to start seeing some names. If they go into the banking records.

I mean, look what happened -- what was the bank? Was it J.P. Morning Chase, that was Epstein's bank?

I can't remember. I hate to say that. Because it may not be. Will you look that up real quick?

You know, they went into the banking records, and then, you know, there were lawsuits about that. And then all of a sudden, just kind of went away. I don't even what happened with that. Hmm. What?

You're banking. Huh?

JASON: JPMorgan and Deutsche.

GLENN: Yeah. And I think that's where you're going to find stuff. That's where the bodies will be find. Because the banking records will be the banking records, and you won't get rid of those.
