'DEEPLY TROUBLING' revelations from FBI testimony: 'NOW is the time to choose'

The Senate Judiciary Committee's latest hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray showcased just how little he knows about what’s happening in his department (or how little he's willing to admit). Glenn breaks down the latest revelations, from the "deeply troubling" memos sent to the entire department regarding "domestic extremists" to the shocking connections between the FBI's Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping debacle and the January 6 investigations. And he has some advice for FBI agents: "Now is the time to choose: Are you on the side of truth and real justice, or are you just standing on the sidelines?"

GLENN: Yesterday, testifying in the -- the committee in Washington, DC, was our FBI super God. And he wants you to know, that when he first heard about the FBI mishandling of the Hunter Biden information. He was -- he found it, quote, deeply troubling. Yeah. He hadn't done a damn thing about it. But he finds it deeply troubling. Which I, for one, really, truly appreciate. Let's get a couple of clips here. From Ted Cruz. Versus Christopher Ray.

Cut 14, please. Uh-huh. Ever see what I mean.

VOICE: This is a text that I was particularly struck, is the Gonzalez battle flag. Come and take it. As indicative of being a violent extremist militia, well, I will self-report now. And every day in the Senate, I wear my boots, that have the Gonzalez battle flag on the back of it.

GLENN: Amen.

TED: Director Ray, what are y'all doing? This makes no sense. Do -- do you agree with this FBI guidance, that the Betsy Ross flag and the Gadsden flag and the Gonzalez battle flag are signs of militia, violent extremism?

VOICE: Well, senator, I'm not familiar with the particular document you have behind you.

GLENN: Oh, I can't take it. Shut up! Okay. So stop. Stop. Stop.

I am so sick of this answer. Well, you know, I run the damn place. But, boy, I'm not aware of that -- that flier we put out to all FBI agents, saying, this is what you should look for, for domestic terrorists. You know what, I find that document. Now that you've pointed it out. I find that document, deeply troubling. Oh, yeah. Are you doing anything about it? No. But I find it deeply troubling, I'll tell you that.

The fact that you have it, and it was leaked out of my office. I'll find that damn leak, I'll tell you that right now. Then you have Ted Cruz questioning the FBI director about an FBI special agent. Listen to this. Cut 25.

TED: Recently.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

TED: There was the case against individuals charged with kidnapping and murdering Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.

That case ended up an absolute debacle, where the four people who went to trial, two of them received mistrials. None of them were convicted on even a single charge. And the basis of the defense was entrapment. That the FBI, that paid enforcements for the FBI, had suggested, and had incited the conduct. Let me ask you: How many FBI agents were disciplined and reprimanded after that disastrous case, and the misconduct that led to every defendant being acquitted or having a mistrial in every charge?

VOICE: Senator, I can't comment on any personal matter. I can tell you, that that case as I understand it, is now pending a retrial, as I understand.

TED: Well, the special agent in charge of that case, has now been sent to DC to the Washington, DC, office and now leads the investigation regarding January 6th. Is that correct?

VOICE: That doesn't sound right to me.

TED: That does not sound right. The -- the name of the individual is Steven -- he was run out of the FBI Detroit field office. And, by the way, I will point out that the lead investigator, special agent track, are you aware that he was apparently fired, for allegedly beating his wife after coming home from a swinger's party, and he made multiple derogatory political posts about President Trump, showing political bias. Are you aware of that?

VOICE: I'm aware of I think the incident you're describing. An action you're declaring about it. To clarify the first part of your question, Mr. Dan Twano (phonetic) was the special agent in charge of the office, the Detroit field office. Now the assistant director in charge of the Washington field office. I thought you were asking about the agent who was responsible for these.

TED: So the guy in charge got promoted and is now in charge of the January 6 investigation.

VOICE: The guy in charge of the whole Detroit field office is now in charge of the whole Washington field office.

TED: That is astonishing.

GLENN: Okay. Yeah. I find it deeply troubling. You know, we're not going to do anything about it. But I do find it deeply troubling. Listen, if you're in the FBI. If you're in the FBI. You have a choice to make. You can sit around and wait for your retirement. Which good luck with that. No, no, no, no.

The government. Oh, they're going to give you all of this happy money. I'll bet you retire with $6 billion. Yeah. Yeah. It will be worth about 40 cents. But you go ahead and keep your retirement while they flush our government and our way of life down the toilet. If you are an FBI agent, now is the time to choose. Are you on the side of truth and real justice? Or are you just standing on the sidelines and not reporting? Are you just standing on the sidelines and saying, yeah. It can't get worse than this. Oh, yes, it will. Knock. Knock. Who is there? We will ask the questions here. Don't worry about it. It's all going to be good. By the way, the Democrats finally have their climate bill. Which I think is -- we want to thank Kyrsten Sinema. She apparently got her dome over the city of Phoenix, for air-conditioning. Oh, no. She didn't hold out for that? Oh, she was holding -- really? She was holding out for the elimination of that billionaire tax. That was in the -- that was in the climate bill. So not the climate bill. I'm sorry. It's the -- it's the anti-inflation bill. So...

STU: Do you think -- are we going to get some blockages now from the Bernie Sanders' wing. He's saying he's trying to do something about it. He's calling it a climate suicide pact. So if he votes for it, it will be interesting to see why he signed on to a climate suicide pact. Now the far left is saying, they may bail on this. They can only lose, obviously, one set. Or four or five congresspeople for this to occur.

GLENN: Right. Of course, they're bailing on it. Because the people who actually believe in climate change. Not as a vehicle, to take us to socialist town. It's great right now. The streets are alive with the sound of bloodshed.

They know, this is not going to do anything for global warming, if they're honest. You know what is included in this bill? I love this. I love it. $20 billion to pay farmers not to grow crops.

Now, when we have a -- a worldwide global food emergency coming, and our government is going to pay farmers $20 billion so they can rest those fields. They should be rested and for several years. Maybe forever. Because they've been growing stuff. And growing stuff. And they're tired. And we've just got to rest those fields forever. And I think that is money well spent. I mean, every farmer knows you have to rotate crops. And you have to rest your land. Every farmer knows that. Now the government is going to pay you to do that. And when you're struggling with things like fertilizer. And seeds. And everything else.

You're going to pay me, how much? To do nothing? Farmers, don't take it. Don't take it. Please, America has to be the breadbasket. We are going to have to feed the rest of the world. This is suicide!

By the way, just to add to it, climate alarmism, is now creating a potential for U.S. food insecurity, as anti-farm sentiment grows. Now, who isn't anti-farm? Seriously. Sure, I like to eat. But I don't want it coming from a farm. Oh. Those places are a mess. There's cow dung everywhere. They put poop on the -- on the -- on the vegetables, to make it grow. Oh, my gosh. I can't -- I hate farms.

I like food. But damn those farmers, man. I just -- what is wrong with people!

Oh, I know. The education system is teaching you to be a complete and total dummy. You should know your food comes from these farms, yeah. I know. But climate change is so bad. It would be so much better, if -- oh, I don't know. Maybe 3 billion people could just stop doing this.

The world would be such a better place, if we could all just stop doing it. Every time you do this, you are taking and you're putting poison for all of the trees and the sky and the little bunny rabbits. And every time you do this, you're stealing the air from them! Oh, my gosh. Why can't we just go back to something natural?

Okay. Sure. All right. By the way, some more good news, the Biden administration, according to a whistle-blower, thank you very much, whistle-blowers. The Biden administration let Afghans on the DOD watch list into the United States of America. While we were evacuating people. Now, that's weird. Because our people are still sitting in the lily pad countries. The countries that were just supposed to be housing them for a couple of weeks, while we move them into new countries. But because our United States government State Department would not -- I shouldn't even say. Would not vouch for anybody. Went to great extents to destroy the credibility of almost every agency out there, that is an NGO, that was saving people. They are all those people that were pulled out of Afghanistan. Are still sitting in a country, that doesn't really want them. Oh, that's good. That's good.

These allies. They love us! They're great, is what they always say about America now. Meanwhile, we could fly those guys in, that were on the terrorist watch list. Do you not see a pattern here?

Everything that is bad for America, and bad for the western world, they're doubling down on. They're importing terrorists while not letting good Christians in, that don't have any part of anything of terror. People who are atheists have nothing to do with terrorists. They're sitting some other place. While the United States government is flying in people that are on our watch list.

Well, the good news is, we'll have plenty of food to feed -- wait a minute.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
