Was Biden’s Putin ‘gaffe’ actually a HINT for coming WAR?

Over the weekend, President Biden said of Russian President Vladimir Putin: ‘For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.’ It was a shocking display of Biden’s true, inner thoughts that most Americans may assume was simply a famous Joe ‘gaffe.’ But Glenn has a different theory…because Biden’s statement coupled with a shocking Joe Biden tweet could hint that this administration actually WANTS war with Russia to go on…

GLENN: Okay. So let's start with this wonderful, wonderful speech that the president gave yesterday. First of all -- or day before.

He was in -- he was in Poland, and it was remarkable. You could compare it to, and it has been Pope John Paul. And his speeches to Poland. And -- and JFK. And Ronald Reagan. And I think it's true.

I mean, he really -- he really went right where everybody who was involved in this, right where they live. Cut five, please.

BIDEN: As a matter of economic security and asset security for the survivability of the planet, we all need to move as quickly as possible to clean renewable energy, and we'll work together to help get that done.

GLENN: Hmm. That's great. That's great. Oh, yeah. That's right. He also was talking about Ukraine and NATO, and what was happening with Ukraine. And I think what's great, is what he ended it with. Now, listen how awkward this is. Usually, you leave on a happy note. President Biden decided not to. Here it is.

BIDEN: Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. We will have a different future. A brighter future. Rooted in democracy and principle. Hope and light, of decency and dignity and freedom and possibilities. For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.

GLENN: Okay. All right. So that was weird. Apparently, not in the speech. I don't know if you could trust that or not. But let me refresh your memory on the Gorbachev/Reagan speech. While he was in Berlin. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall. That went back and forth with the State Department. He said, I'm saying it. No, you're not. Yes, I am. No, I'm not.

Wait a minute. It's like that Bugs Bunny routine. It was taken out of the speech three times. It was not in the teleprompter. And he knew right where he wanted to say it. And he wrote it. It was him. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Now, that was not a Mr. Gorbachev, somebody needs to overthrow you. Quite different. But the State Department was against that, because it would cause all kinds of problems they thought. And it did. It did. Unfortunately, for the Soviet Union. Not for the rest of the free world. It freed the world.

Now, Putin -- I mean, this was -- it seems like an ad-lib, because you wouldn't have put that at the end of the speech, but Mr. Mental agility couldn't find a place to put that into the speech. So just at the end, he's like, the whole time. Now, think about this. If it was an ad-lib, the whole time, he's thinking, this guy can't be in power. This guy can't be in power. And he can't find a place to put it in the speech, so he just adds it to the end.

Now, is it possible that that's what he really thinks? Well, let's remember. Joe Biden is known for leading his staff. He's known for whatever the policy is, they're you working under. Remember the homosexual marriage, thing? We know that the White House was working on a draft to announce, you know, they were for gay marriage. Yada, yada. And Joe Biden just came out on some weekend and went, I'm always for gay marriage. That's where we need to be. And the White House was a little pissed. Remember that?

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Okay so he's done that thing several times. Where he leads the staff. He leads. He just blurts it out.

STU: Oh. This conflict began around that whole situation.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Where he said a minor incursion might not be that big of a deal. It's that same type of moment.

GLENN: Right. Right. So if he's thinking this. And this is an ad-lib, what does that mean?

Now, let me give you some -- let me give you some additional stuff. There's a possibility, he's just completely senile. And that's a discussion, we should have. Because if he's that out of control, he should not be the president of the United States. I honestly don't think that's it. I think he has a different point of view. And let me make -- let me make the case here. First of all, this strengthens Putin, horrible, horrible idea. Horrible idea. But also, in his framing, he is also framing this as democracy versus autocracy. This is a theme of his -- of his first year. His nightmare year. This is one of the first things, that stood out to me, in his first speech from the well of the Senate. When he told all of the people sitting there, in -- in the capitol, that you were the people that made the world a better place. That they were the people, that got us through this pandemic. Not the American people. The people in power. And then he twice, maybe three times, questioned democracy versus autocracy. So he's going for a bigger thing. He's not going for the -- Putin getting out of Ukraine. He's going for something much, much bigger. Case in point: Did you sees the weird tweet that came out from his office? He's not on Twitter. I don't even think he knows how to work the phone. He's like, phone doesn't have that little grinder there on the side, where my gavel -- give me -- give me 8/1000. What?

So I don't think he knows how to work any kind of -- any kind of phone sitting on the pot, you know, tweeting. Listen to this: We are engaged in a new great battle for freedom. A battle between democracy and autocracy. Between liberty and repression. This battle will not be won in days or months, either. We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead. Wow. Wow. What -- hmm. What does he see coming? Now, Blinken came out this weekend and said, that's not what he means. I suggest it is. Because what was the other problem, what was the other thing he said this weekend? While he was over there. He made several things, that they had to walk back. But they were all in exactly the same direction. Let's play cut 13.

BIDEN: The Ukrainian people. The Ukrainian people have a lot of back bone. They have a lot of guts. And I'm sure you're observing it. And I don't mean just the military. Which we've been training since back when Russia moved into -- in -- in the southeast -- southeast Ukraine. But also, the average citizen. Look how they're stepping up. Look how they're stepping up. And you will see when they're there. You're going to see -- you're going to see women -- young women standing in front of a damn tank, just saying, I'm not leaving. I'm holding my ground. They're incredible.

GLENN: All right. Okay.

BIDEN: So take a lot of inspiration from us. And, you know, a woman who just died, Secretary of State said, used to have an expression, saying, we are the essential nation. It sounds like a bit of a hyperbole. But the truth of the matter is, you are the organizing principle upon which the rest of the world -- the free world is moving.

GLENN: Stop there's a couple of -- there's three things here. First, let me take down the obvious, kind of essential one, going to his mind state. That woman that just decide, that would be Madeleine Albright. But he couldn't recall her name. That woman who just died. Okay. Okay. So that makes a case, he doesn't know what the hell he's even talking about. Which is a conversation we should have. But let's -- let's look at this as maybe he does know what he's talking about. He just has no filter on it. When he suggested that the troops that were stationed in Poland, that they would witness the bravery of the American people, when you're there. He immediately followed it with, and a lot of you have already been there.

But that doesn't make sense. Now, I dismiss this, as an old man gaffe, when I first heard this. But this was one of the first big gaffes, they had to walk back. So I dismissed this, as just, oh, well. It's just an old man gaffe. Well, doesn't that fit with, he has to be removed? And doesn't the -- the world looks to you, the soldier? You are the organizing principle, that the world is being built around. Those fit. So I would like to give the president the benefit of the doubt. But if I'm on the opposing side, if I'm advising Putin, because this is what they have to do. What is this president even saying? Is he -- is he incompetent, or is he revealing what they -- what their real intention is?

I would say, if I were advising Russia, I don't -- I don't know, Mr. President, but I think that there's a pattern here. Just look at what his Twitter feed said. Again, it doesn't mean that he's not senile. But my case to you is, he's revealing -- he's revealing the things that are coming.

And how do we know? Well, those were all crazy, off the cuff clips, but they're all consistent for a bigger, longer war. All right. Maybe he's just thinking that himself, but nobody else is. Then why would the White House tweet, we are engaged in a new, great battle for freedom. A battle between democracy and autocracy. Between liberty and repression. This battle will not be won in days or months either. We need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead. That's coming. Approved from the White House, yesterday. America, we better decide a couple of things. First of all, is our president competent? If he's making these kinds of mistakes and they truly are mistakes because he's just not a gaffe machine. This is a very dangerous situation. If he's not competent, he should not be the president of the United States. And I know what that means. That means a world run by Kamala Harris. God help us all. But at least she would not make any sense, and wouldn't be doing this stuff. Or, are we being prepared for a war? It seems to me, when Putin is talking about his first phase is done, and everybody is looking for negotiations, and Putin seems to be looking for a way out of this. This is exactly the wrong kind of language to use. Where is the White House saying, it looks like Putin may be done with the first phase, as they said. And it looks good. Maybe we have -- maybe we have a bright future with a very quick war that has come to an end? Where is that encouragement? Instead, we need to steal ourselves, for the long fight ahead. I think this administration wants war. I think they want a fight. They just don't want to release it yet. But that's what they're talking about, in the White House. And he's just blowing the cover. That's my theory. But it's either that, or the guy is totally incompetent. And saying things that are very dangerous, that are not connected to any reality in the White House. And that should stop.

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.
