Is the FBI still spying on this whistleblower? Hear his creepy story



At one point, FBI whistleblower Steve Friend assumed the FBI was a force for good.

“I’ve come around to the idea that it’s always been wrong, it’s always been about preserving the status quo and going after who the political enemies were,” Friend tells BlazeTV host Pat Gray on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

Friend tells Gray that communists have been “able to infiltrate the organization,” which is why “we’ve seen them particularly recently devolve their national security mission away from going after legitimate threat actors.”

“Now, they have this responsibility of rooting out terrorism here, but we’re going to change the message of terrorism. It’s not going to be the people who subscribe to a foreign ideology that says, ‘We’re going to engage in a violent activity to bring about political unrest and fear so we can get the changes we want,’” he continues.


“Instead we're going to say, ‘Well, it’s a homegrown violent extremist or a domestic violent extremist or an anti-government, anti-authority, violent extremist.’ And eventually, it's a nihilistic violent extremist, someone who doesn’t have an ideology at all,” he adds.

Because the greatest threat to the government as an entity are those who believe in a smaller government — those are the people who the FBI goes after now. And Friend, unfortunately, is one of them.

“A couple of nights ago, my phone on silent, do not disturb, all apps closed down, on a charger, alerted me and my wife when it started playing the placeholder video for my podcast,” he tells Gray. “Lo and behold, the next day, all my access to the Justice Department, www.justice.gov, website access denied. And then actually, last night, my phone started to chirp and woke us both up.”

“So I want to be on record that if there’s any sort of remote shenanigans that are happening with my devices, that’s not because I have any incriminating material I put on,” he continues, noting that the sound that came from his phone was one he’s “never heard before.”

‘This is going to keep happening’: The REAL reason behind the Boulder attack



Armed with a makeshift flamethrower and other incendiary devices, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly launched an attack on protesters in Boulder, Colorado, who were calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Soliman reportedly yelled, “Free Palestine!” during the attack, which injured multiple people.

“So you guys are going to be so shocked to hear that this man came into the country during the Biden era in August 2022 on a B-2 tourist visa, that he, of course, they mention, he intentionally overstayed for over two years,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.

“So he was here illegally while he was planning the attack, and then afterwards, after he was arrested, he told investigators he ‘wanted to kill all Zionist people’ and ‘wished they were all dead,’” she continues.


Soliman also reportedly claimed he hated the group who was demonstrating and needed to stop them from taking over “our land.”

“This is really tragic,” Gonzales says. “This is going to keep happening in this country. It’s just going to get worse from here on out, because the Biden regime intentionally let these people in, didn’t vet them properly, didn’t screen them properly, opened the damn floodgates, and said, ‘Come on in.’”

“It’s very easy to predict, just based on the sheer numbers that Joe Biden let in, that almost all of them are going to be tied to the Biden era,” she continues.

“No pun intended, but it is this Molotov cocktail of what happened in the Biden administration,” BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens agrees. “You drive God out of a nation, you try to make a nation completely immoral, truth becomes fluid, your version of the truth, you import all kinds of radical ideologies from all over the world.”

Dan Bongino publicly responds to FBI appointment of J6-obsessed official



In a move no conservative saw coming, a key player in the January 6 witch hunts was recently named the assistant director of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.

That key player is Steven Jensen.

While conservatives had been counting on newly crowned FBI Director Kash Patel to root out people like Jensen, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a few cryptic X posts that seemed to defend the FBI’s decision to give him the position.

“As I dive back into work, I want to reassure you that nothing that is happening here is happening by accident. Because of the sensitivity of what the FBI deals with, both the Director and I have to be circumspect in what we can make public. Bad guys read this stuff too. Neither one of us came here to play games,” Bongino wrote in a post on X.


“Measure us by results. You will see them. But just because you don’t see something happening right this second, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening,” he continued, noting that not every decision made will “please everyone,” and they won’t be “pandering” in order to do so.

“When you see something happen, and the entire story isn’t public, and the underlying facts aren’t all public, it may appear counterintuitive to our reform agenda,” he wrote in a follow-up post, adding, “I promise you, it’s not an accident.”

“We are assuming that Bongino was responding to this controversy,” Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News Tonight.” “If, in fact, he was responding to that, it still does not answer one of the hardest questions that I think and one of the most important questions that I have.”

That question, Baker reveals, is, “Why have we been a week and a half into this appointment and there’s been no announcement from the FBI, not even the lowest level public relations or spokesperson from the FBI?”

That includes FBI Director Kash Patel.

“There’s always an announcement about important positions when they are filled like this, and for him to take over the most important position in the Washington Field Office with no announcement, no press release,” Baker says, noting that the controversy surrounding the move would be incredibly hard for them to ignore.

“And still, the only thing that we have seen posted from Kash Patel on his X account so far is the intramural fundraising hockey game that they had in Chicago, and maybe a couple of other arrests, but nothing to do with this particular controversy whatsoever,” Baker continues.

“So they are obviously ignoring it for some reason,” he adds.

'Without hesitation': FBI whistleblower warns Kamala WILL JAIL her opponents



After the weaponization of Biden’s DOJ — where peaceful pro-life activists and attendees of January 6 were jailed — it should come as no surprise that Democrats want to crack down harder on American citizens.

Recent comments made by Virgin Islands delegate Stacey Plaskett on the weaponization of the federal government couldn’t have made that more obvious.

“It’s necessary for the public and the media to try and provide cover for the eradication of the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Plaskett said, claiming without these agencies there would be no checks “against white nationalism, great replacement theorists, Christian nationalists, white fragility, fascists, and the twice-impeached convicted felon former President, and would-be dictator, Donald Trump.”

FBI whistleblower, Steve Friend, believes Plaskett reflects “entirely what they’re all interested in.”

“They’re sending the new agents to the academy and teaching them that, basically, the only thing they’re going to be focusing on is white supremacy,” Friend tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”

Friend notes that the Christian nationalism label is “a trap” and that the FBI “has found the hack around the First Amendment” and “your ability to worship as you see fit.”

Savage is concerned that if Kamala Harris does get elected, this could get worse.

“What would happen if Kamala Harris gets elected as president and they can even push this further?” she asks Friend.

“A Kamala Harris presidency will only further weaponize the FBI. They have their targets,” Friend explains.

“The narrative now is that half the country are domestic terrorists,” he continues, warning, “and now you’re going to have a Kamala Harris presidency, God forbid, in the next couple of months if she is elected, where she will take the FBI, the teeth on this attack dog, against her political enemies — and not hesitate.”

FBI whistleblower WARNS about agent investigating 2nd Trump assassination attempt



The FBI is investigating the incident at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida as a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump — but is the FBI trustworthy to lead this investigation?

FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who exposed what really happened in the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid — is blowing the whistle again. This time, he’s warning that the same FBI office is handling this investigation.

“The guy who authorized that, and then dummied evidence up, is the guy in charge now of the FBI’s investigation of this shooter,” Glenn Beck says, shocked.

“It actually goes a little bit deeper than that Glenn,” Friend comments.

Friend explains that Jeffrey Beltre was once the deputy assistant director of the security division for the FBI before assuming his current post as a special agent in charge of Miami’s FBI.

His prior position is the branch that goes after the whistleblowers.

Friend notes that Beltre has said that “they were looking to purge from the ranks people who were military veterans because he thought that they were disloyal, as well as people who attended regular religious worship ceremonies and opposed the coronavirus vaccine.”

When he announced he was going to Miami, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and Executive Assistant Director Jen Moore told him to cleanse his social media accounts of all the anti-Trump vitriol.

“Now, he’s in a position of authority in the FBI Miami office, and that is the office that has the responsibility for investigating this latest assassination attempt,” Friend explains.

“So you think the guy who wanted to purge the FBI of military people, religious people, and Trump supporters might not do an honest investigation?” Glenn asks.

‘Why do we have an FBI?’: Georgia school shooter was on FBI’s radar months before attack



Not surprisingly, the shooter behind the Apalachee High School shooting was on the FBI’s radar.

A day after Colt Gray was charged with murder, the father of the 14-year-old shooter was charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children.

“My first thought was crimes that the son commits, you don’t hold the father for. Crimes of the father, you don’t hold on the son. That was my first reaction, like what are we doing?” Glenn Beck asks.

The charges came after it was revealed that the father purchased an AR-15 style rifle to give to his son as a Christmas gift last year.

“I got my first gun from my grandfather when I was like, 12,” Glenn comments in disbelief, adding, “Now I’m thinking to myself, this is another way to get guns.”

However, the case is more complicated than meets the eye, as authorities reportedly visited the pair before the father gifted his son the gun after receiving tips about online school shooting threats.

“This is the information that the FBI had months before the shooting,” Glenn says, noting that the mother has a lengthy rap sheet, including abuse of her children. The shooter’s aunt, Annie Brown, also told the Washington Post that her nephew was struggling with mental health issues and had been “begging for help from everyone around him.”

“So I want to ask. Why do we have an FBI? Why do we have one? You know they’re spying on us illegally for our own safety, but I don’t think it is for our safety, you know, cause they’re not protecting us,” he says, explaining that many of the shooters who carried out mass shootings were also already on the FBI’s radar.

“FBI missed signals in four mass shootings. What the hell are they doing?” Glenn asks.
