Conservative media host Glenn Beck said Monday that three FBI agents visited his home over the weekend to question him about antifa, the far-left movement recently designated a domestic terrorist organization by President Donald Trump.
Beck discussed the visit on his show, The Glenn Beck Program on The Blaze, claiming the agents were sent on the direction of FBI Director Kash Patel.
“So we dove in head first, and we analyzed the antifa network,” Beck said. “We went from the street thugs to the support groups, eventually to the funding. To say the FBI was interested might be an understatement.”
The visit came after Beck aired a segment last week breaking down antifa’s structure, operations, and financial backers.
“It’s so clear to me that they are exploring all angles of this,” he said. “They are talking to anyone and everyone that can give them any kind of information.”
According to Beck, the FBI reached out to him Saturday.
“I get a phone call — ‘Uh, the director would like to send over some agents to speak to you, Glenn,’” he recalled. “And I’m like, ‘The director? FBI agents?’ They’ll be over.”
Three agents reportedly spent nearly two hours at Beck’s home asking questions about antifa’s organization, tactics and funding. Beck said he called in his lead researcher, Jason Buttrill, during the meeting.
“Jason, you’re the researcher — your fault,” Beck joked on air. “I’m gonna throw you under the bus! You better get your butt over here.”
Beck said part of the conversation focused on the Tides Foundation, a nonprofit he has frequently accused of supporting radical left-wing causes.
“I talked to them for about 15 minutes just going over the Tides Foundation,” he said. “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.”
Antifa — short for “anti-fascist” — is an umbrella term used to describe loosely affiliated leftist activist groups. The Trump administration has blamed antifa for violent protests and unrest in cities controlled by Democrats.
Last month, Trump signed an executive order formally labeling Antifa a domestic terror group, saying it “uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide.”
Beck praised the administration for taking action.
“Finally, we have an administration and an FBI director that is willing to go in deep — not surface, but deep,” he said. “I can only imagine what we could have avoided if anyone in an administration would’ve done this in 2011.”
Beck said those affiliated with antifa should take the investigation seriously.
“If I were part of anything that was sending money their way or assistance their way, I might be a little concerned,” he said. “Because the FBI is deadass serious.”
He closed by thanking Trump, Patel and the bureau.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, and all of the agents at the FBI,” Beck said.
