'Deadass serious': FBI goes to Glenn Beck's home after he helped expose Antifa's terror network



President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination by a radical assassin who allegedly etched Antifa slogans into his bullet casings.

In the interest of obliging Trump and finally destroying Antifa, the Justice Department and the FBI have evidently appealed to the expertise of some of those Americans who chronicled Antifa terrorists' crimes, analyzed their tactics, and identified their supporters while authorities previously sat on their hands.

'It was surreal.'

Antifa is an anarcho-communist militant group that has long threatened lives and property throughout the Western world.

In a show that debuted on Oct. 8 titled "Unmasking Antifa: The Dark Truth Behind Its Well-Funded Network," Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck took a deep dive, "shattering the myth" that Antifa is leaderless and decentralized.

"We analyzed the Antifa network," Beck said with regard to his show last week. "And we went from the street thugs, to the support groups, eventually to the funding."

Beck added, "To say the FBI was interested in this might be an understatement."

Just days after the show's initial broadcast, Beck received a knock on the door from the FBI.

"Let's just say the FBI is turning over every single stone," continued Beck. "It is so clear to me that they are exploring all angles of this, and they are talking to anyone and everyone that can give them any kind of information.

"How do I know?" Beck asked. He then immediately began to explain why he is confident that federal authorities are serious about Antifa this time.

Beck indicated that he was informed in a phone call Saturday that FBI Director Kash Patel wanted to send some agents over to speak with him.

"I'm like, 'The direct —? FBI agents?' 'Yes, you said some things that they need to talk to you about,'" continued Beck, recalling the conversation. "'Well, good things or bad things?' 'They'll be over.'"

The Blaze Media co-founder indicated that he, his wife, and his head researcher, Jason Buttrill, spent nearly two hours on Saturday sharing insights into the leftist terror enterprise with a trio of FBI agents in Beck's living room.

"It was surreal," said Beck. "At one point, I talked to them for about 15 minutes just going over the Tides Foundation. And saying, 'If you understand Tides, you'll understand how difficult your job is going to be.' And this is information that I first gave on Fox years ago."

Reflecting on the bureau's newfound interest in stamping out leftist terrorism, Beck noted, "Finally, we have an administration and an FBI director that is willing to go in deep. Not surface. But deep. I could only imagine what we could have avoided if anyone in an administration would have done this in 2011."

This is not the first time in recent weeks that Beck's reporting has created headaches for leftist extremists and their alleged benefactors.

Beck hosted counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro on the Sept. 17 episode of the "The Charlie Kirk Show" and discussed the findings of Mauro's Capital Research Center report concerning the funding of U.S.-based groups potentially engaged in terrorism by George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

Days later, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's office reportedly issued a directive to U.S. attorneys' offices in at least three states and several cities instructing federal prosecutors to prepare probes into Soros' group.

Following his meeting with the FBI agents on Saturday, Beck suggested that Antifa members and their enablers ought to be concerned right now because "the FBI is deadass serious."

Pam Bondi presses Democrat over hypocritical demand: 'You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?'



Attorney General Pam Bondi had a fiery exchange with several Democrats, including Sen. Alex Padilla (D) of California, during her congressional testimony on Tuesday.

Bondi and Padilla sparred when the attorney general called out the Democrat for hypocritically demanding "order" during Tuesday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The two had a tense back-and-forth before Padilla called for order during the hearing despite repeatedly interrupting Bondi whenever she attempted to respond to questions.

'You stormed the director of Homeland Security.'

Padilla initially asked Bondi whether she thought FBI Director Kash Patel is "doing a good job."

"I believe Director Patel is doing a great job," Bondi said.

Bondi then tried to turn the tables, asking, "You know where he is right now, Senator Padilla?" At that point, Padilla tried to interject, but Bondi continued with her thought.

"You asked me a question!" Bondi said after Padilla began talking over her. "Director Patel is in Chicago right now ... fighting to keep Chicago safe."

Padilla continued talking over the attorney general, yet repeatedly called for "order" before Bondi eventually unloaded on the Democratic senator.

"You know, you want 'order' here now, yet you stormed the Director of Homeland Security Kristi Noem," Bondi said. "You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?"

Padilla quietly attempted to dismiss Bondi's claims, despite extensive video evidence depicting his disruptive confrontation with Noem and subsequent detainment back in June.

Padilla originally confronted Noem during a Los Angeles press conference in June about the ongoing protests and riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Padilla burst into the conference and rushed toward the podium before he was forcefully removed.

Noem claimed she chatted with Padilla after the press conference and even exchanged phone numbers with him, Bill Melugin of Fox News reported at the time. According to Melugin, Noem characterized their conversation as "cordial and beneficial."

'WORSE THAN WATERGATE': Republicans demand answers after documents reveal FBI spied on 9 GOP lawmakers



Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed on Monday that the FBI under the Biden administration obtained private cellphone information from nine GOP lawmakers, including Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.). All of the targeted lawmakers are Republicans.

'We were surveilled simply for being Republicans.'

In breaking the news with an internal FBI document, Sen. Grassley wrote on X, "BIDEN FBI WEAPONIZATION = WORSE THAN WATERGATE."

Commenting on the news, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who was also named in the document, said, "We were surveilled simply for being Republicans. ... It should shock every American." He called the surveillance "an outrageous abuse of power" and "blatant political persecution."

The surveillance took place as part of the FBI's Arctic Frost investigation into the 2020 election. Operation Arctic Frost, launched in April 2022, was handed to special counsel Jack Smith in November of that year, who used it as the basis for the charges filed against President Trump in August 2023.

The FBI document detailing the surveillance of GOP lawmakers is dated September 27, 2023, though it is unclear when the actual surveillance took place.

In a post on Truth Social, President Trump weighed in, writing, "Deranged Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. A real sleazebag!!!"

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), in commenting on the surveillance during a committee hearing on Tuesday, said, "I find this breathtaking." He also pushed for a hearing on the matter: "I don't want to wait 24 years to get an answer."

In a GOP press briefing, Sen. Johnson pointed out that "this is not the first time I was targeted by the FBI. Under the Obama administration, the same thing happened to both Senator Grassley and I."

In addressing the issue, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, "The abuse of power ends now. Under my leadership, the FBI will deliver truth and accountability, and never again be weaponized against the American people."
