Did a Secret Service agent plant the Jan. 6 pipe bomb at the DNC?

Newly released security footage from outside the DNC headquarters on January 6, 2021, has raised even more questions about the day's timeline. The footage shows a man with a bag getting out of a police vehicle and walking off camera in the direction where a pipe bomb was found just minutes later. So, did this man — possibly a Secret Service agent — plant the bomb? Glenn speaks with Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker, who warns against jumping to conclusions too early. But he also explains how we can find out: "The FBI can solve this for us today if they will release the DNC's own security cameras." Steve also discusses why he believes the pipe bombs were planted in the first place.

GLENN: Okay. We didn't spend a lot of time on it. Because I thought, well, it might have been that. It might have been a lot of things.

You know, I'll wait for Steve Baker to pin this down. Then this weekend, I saw Darren Beattie of Revolver News come out. And he said, it is the police.

Okay. That's kind of a big deal. I mean, that's earth-shattering. Steve Baker joins us now from the Blaze. Steve, is this new information, or the same information that you had?

STEVE: Hey, this is exactly the information that we had, and we released early last week.

But I think that whether it's Darren or any other journalist, stepping out and saying that this is conclusively proved that the police planted that bomb, is getting a little bit ahead of themselves.

And I'll tell you why, we had the video of the -- what we believe to be a Secret Service agent, exiting a metropolitan police vehicle.

He steps out of frame. He's carrying a bag in his hand.

But he steps out of frame.

And then two minutes later, he steps back into the camera frame once again. That is not proof, that he set a bomb down. But it does make us ask questions. And it makes us question the FBI directly, once again, as we did in our article, which was our lead in that article. Was the FBI can solve this for us today, if they will release the DNC's own security cameras. Their own security cameras. Are aimed and focused on exactly that spot.

Where the bomb was placed. But they have never released that to the public.

GLENN: So it is -- I mean, I have to tell you, I mean, if you have to take a leap of faith.

You're force Todd take a leap of faith. And you look at you all of the evidence. It is circumstantial. But it is pretty good, especially when the DNC has that video, and won't release it.

Why wouldn't you release the video?

STEVE: That's the great question about this bomb, and that's what makes as you're saying there, this so -- such a -- it's such an easy thing to come to a conclusion on, when you have a bomb that was allegedly placed, 17 hours earlier, around -- 7:30, 8 o'clock, the night before.

And then it allegedly sat there, undetected, during all that time, with so much foot traffic, that morning. So many officers on that building. From various agencies. Two different bomb teams, facility.

We know that from the OIG report that came out, a couple weeks ago.

There is this mounting evidence, that there -- there just couldn't have been a bomb there for 17 hours.

But somehow, some way, 15 minutes before it was discovered.

We see a guy, getting out of a car. Bag in his hand. He walks over that direction into that -- you know, it's a blind spot in the camera coverage from the CCTV --

GLENN: Because they moved it, right?

STEVE: Well, this particular camera, we went back. We went back, eight days.

That camera had been fixed for eight full days, prior to this event.

And than a camera begins moving five minutes after the alleged discovery of the bomb. By a plane clothes police officer. So then suddenly. So that camera starts moving by remote control.

It focuses in, it zooms in to that location. Between the benches. You can kind of pick up a little bit of a visual of the bomb, when that camera moves.

And then it sweeps away, and then within 30 minutes. Whoever the operator was, turned that camera off of the investigative seen, full 90 degrees away from it, and it never returned the rest of the day.

GLENN: So this takes us into a whole new territory, if this is true. And this is why, as much as I believe this probably is what happened, you don't want to go there. You know. Unless it's absolutely true.

And I don't know how we would ever prove that.

But this, you say. Why do you say this was a Secret Service agent?

STEVE: Mainly because of the way he was dressed. It was a Secret Service detail, and the Secret Service were mainly with metropolitan police officers that day in that detail, which is not uncommon. They do assist -- the local police do assist the Secret Service. And there was, of course, the facts that we learned sometime. Well, a year later, after January 6th, that Kamala Harris was actually inside the building at that time.

GLENN: So what do you think, why was it planted?

STEVE: This is no doubt. Now, I have no problem, going out, and declaring the reason for it, being planted. The reason for that bomb and the one for the RNC. The Capitol Hill club. Was diversionary. They were specifically planted, to divert resources from the Capitol. Bear in mind, that only five minutes, before the first breach of the West front there at the Capitol, on January 6th, that's when the first bomb was found at the RNC.

And then only two, three minutes before the breach, this particular -- what we think is a Secret Service agent, wearing a trench coat, carrying a bag, just two to three minutes before that barrier -- or, barricade breach at the Capitol, this guy disappeared, towards those benches. And then he's back, and then five minutes later -- or, 15 minutes later, some minutes after the barricade breach, the Capitol Police plainclothes officer found the bomb.

And that diverted resources from the Capitol that were needed.

GLENN: So do you think it was ever supposed to go off?

STEVE: No. The bombs were not viable. They were absolutely props.

And we know that beyond any shadow of a doubt. We have direct testimony from one of the agents, that worked on that bomb scene.

That worked on the investigation of the bomb. And he was told by his superiors, that these devices were not viable.

GLENN: What's your gut tell you on this?

STEVE: My -- my gut tells me, that we're going to learn who this man is.

That's the first thing. And that's one of the reasons why it would be reckless for us, to declare him -- that he had the bomb. That would be, there was probably some legal jeopardy to do that.

But it's suspicious. We will learn who he is.

We will also eventually going to learn after three and a half years, I hope why Kamala Harris was in that building. Why she was not in the Capitol, where she was being basically coronated as then vice president. She was a voting senator at the time. She was the VP Elect at the time.

And the debate for her ascendancy, to Vice Presidency -- certification of the electoral college vote was taking place at the Capitol at the time, when she had been scheduled according to this same OIG report, she had been scheduled according to the Secret Service logs, two days in advance, that she was going to be at the DNC from 11:30 to 3:30 during the scheduled debate and during the scheduled vote. She was not going to be there.

And this is -- I'm telling you, Glenn. That's a bigger mystery to me, than even the bombs. But if we do discover that these bombs were, in fact, planted by one of the agencies. Secret Service. FBI. NPT. Capitol Police. It doesn't heart. We discover that. It literally, no pun intended, blows this thing up.

GLENN: Tell me about what you know about the Secret Service, and the body of the would-be assassin of Donald Trump.

Being cremated before Congress had a chance to examine and investigate. And also, that they -- they cleaned up biological evidence, and that apparently doesn't happen. Is that true?

STEVE: It shouldn't have happened, as soon as it did. That's the first answer.

It is not 100 percent uncommon. That if a case is clearly solved, that they don't clean up. And they don't take the body away.

Or that they don't go ahead and turn the body back to the family for how they wish to take care of the body at that point.

It's not uncommon. But this is not a common case. And that's why this should not have been done so soon.

I think Representative Clay Aiken from Louisiana is absolutely correct in that.

Now, as the law enforcement officer himself, sheriff in Louisiana, he would have seen the disposal of all types, of all types of homicides.

And he would know, based on the significance of this, that it should have been preserved, the body of Thomas Crook should have been preserved to have other investigators, back up autopsies, other examinations from different agencies to confirm, validate findings. Because if you don't do that, all you do is open up the conspiracy theories.

And you let it ride, that there must be a cover up. Now, we -- we're pretty sure there is a cover-up.

We're just don't know if they're covering up their incompetence, or if they're covering up something, well, much more sinister.

GLENN: What's your gut tell you?

STEVE: In this case, I'm in the camp, solidly, Glenn, that this young man was groomed, that he had help.

GLENN: Wow.

STEVE: I do not believe for a second, that there was a second shooter on the scene. Those conspiracy theories are easily disproven.

GLENN: Right.

STEVE: But we have one of our absolute, most trusted sources. Is an individual, who for 30 years, did this very thing for our government, overseas. In Africa. Middle East. Asia. Central America.

He told me, and I'm quoting, he said, what disturbs him the most about this particular case and Thomas Crooks. Is he says, I recognize my own handiwork.

GLENN: Hmm. Are we going to find out who it is?

STEVE: I'll tell you what, you know that I'm looking. You know that Joe Hanneman, who wrote this article -- who I wrote this article with. We will be looking at this thing for a long time.

GLENN: I wish you luck. And I hope that -- thanks for being responsible on this. I'm not saying that the other reporters are not. They may know something that I don't know. Or we don't know.

But I don't want to rush to anything. And get it wrong.

This is way too important.

If that's true, then your Deep State is exposed.

And nobody is safe. Nobody is safe.

Thank you so much, appreciate it.

STEVE: Thank you, Glenn.

GLENN: You bet. Steve Baker from TheBlaze.

The ONLY way Trump can BEAT Kamala in a LANDSLIDE

The evidence is clear: Americans have had enough of the Harris/Biden administration. Inflation and prices are up, homelessness is rising, and illegal immigration has turned safe towns into hotbeds for unchecked crime. But there’s only one way that this changes: People must go out and VOTE. If they do, Glenn predicts, Donald Trump will win in a landslide. But ONLY if Americans show up at the ballot office! Glenn reviews videos of concerned citizens whose life has been upended by illegal immigration and lax law enforcement. Plus, he reviews the claims that Haitian immigrants are eating ducks and cats in the streets of Springfield, Ohio.

GLENN: So I have to tell you, I was with Tucker Carlson this weekend, and did his -- you know, his stage thing. And it was fantastic.

And there was just a spirit -- I had all day. I had to do some fundraisers earlier in the day, and I'm with these people.

And I'm just like, there is something happening today. At least in me.

And I don't know if people who saw the Carlson, you know, interview or I guess -- I don't know what it was. It was just two friends goofing around. But if you saw it, if you felt something change. But I think maybe it's just the realization that things could change for the better, that fast.

But we have to get out and vote.

But let me show you. You know, the poll numbers, Nate Silver just put out, his latest prediction. He says, Trump has a 68 percent chance of winning.

That's pretty remarkable. Tucker said, he's seen some polls, from both sides. And he said, Kamala is starting to crater.

STU: And just to -- 64 percent.

GLENN: Sorry.

STU: 63.3 percent is where you got the 68. Still, significant favor.

64, 36.

GLENN: It was a couple months ago.

STU: Harris was leading as of August 28 only a couple weeks ago.

GLENN: Right. Right. Okay. So let me tell you what I'm feeling, and you tell me that I am wrong. But I don't think I am.

I don't know if you've been -- I don't know if you've noticed, but people are starting to get pretty close to where they are, in Europe. About illegal immigration.

Now, they're farther ahead than we are. Maybe a year's worth. But everything is fundamentally changing.

I mean, the people in Ireland, now think Ireland is over! Unless, they act right now.

Okay? It is really bad. But let me just show you some things here in America. Here's a Springfield resident, Springfield, Ohio.

About the new Haitian population. Which I think there were 53,000 residents, and they added 10,000, 15,000 Haitians into that. The city is collapsing, right? Listen to this resident.

VOICE: That's what they're used to though. They're in the park. Grabbing up decks, by their neck, and walking off with them, and eating them, like it's only going to get worse.

And y'all are sitting up there in these chairs. All y'all need to get out here and do something. Y'all are making hundreds of thousands of dollars. And y'all need to put on some T-shirt and some Crocks.

And then y'all need to come out here in these streets. And ugh. I'm out here before the police is.

Like, y'all need to do something, bro. Y'all really need to stand on business. Y'all are getting paid all this money, just to wear a suit and sit in a chair.

GLENN: Okay. That's a black man in an Ohio city councilman, saying, where are you? What are you doing?

Let me give another resident, same meeting. Listen to this. Cut six.

VOICE: I'm done with what I'm seeing. It's so unsafe in my neighborhood anymore. I have the homeless that are trying to camp out. And I've made concessions with them, and I've tried to help them as best I can, to keep them from trying to squat on my property. But it is so unsafe. I have men that cannot speak English, in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard. Throwing trash in my front yard.

And I can't -- look at me. I weigh 95 pounds. I couldn't defend myself if I had to. My husband is elderly. And last night, after living in this home for 45 years, he said, Noelle, guess what. It's time to pack up and move.

He said, we can't do this anymore. He said, it's killing both of us mentally. I don't understand what you expect of both of us as citizens. I understand they're here under temporary protective status. You're protecting them.

And I understand that our city services are overwhelmed and understaffed. But who is protecting them. If we're protecting them. Who is protecting me. I want out of this town. I am sorry. Please, give me a reason to stay.

GLENN: Now, listen to her.

STU: Jeez.

GLENN: Now, she's obviously somebody who is not like I am, on illegal immigrants.

I want them sent back. She's saying, I understand we're protecting them. I understand we have to help them.

I don't understand that. But she does. She's coming from an entirely different place than I'm at. If somebody were putting, you know, mattresses on my front yard, I would be really pissed.

She's coming to them, and saying, please. Notice she also says, I don't know what you expect of us.

She's also somebody who has put herself as a -- as a servant of the government.

You know, I'm trying to do my part. I'm trying to help.

I know you're telling me we have to protect them.

So I'm trying to.

I don't know what you expect of us. No. Reverse that. If you're a right thinking American. You understand, you don't -- you're not here to serve them!

The leaders in our communities are put there, to serve us. To protect and defend us!

So there's two people just in this small town in, Ohio. Ohio is, you know, has been in the past, a bellwether, and also a swing state. Now, it's not probably a swing state this time.

But if these things are happening are in Ohio, you're going to see people, do one of two things.

One, stay at home, because they can't vote for Trump.

But they can't vote for this anymore.

Or two, they're going to go out and vote for Trump.

Let me give you another one.

This is a Chicago residents.

Resident.

This is from a Fox 32 Chicago report.

And they're talking about the Venezuelan migrants in their community.

Cut seven.

VOICE: I don't want them there.

Take them someplace else, or send them back to Venezuela. I don't care where they go. This is wrong! You've got 73 percent of the people homeless in this city.

VOICE: There were lots of fireworks. Over the migrants moving into Lakeshore hotel for six months, where 300 can be housed. Also, the city said, it is a fluent situation, and it will need to revisit that time line.

GLENN: Okay. So now you have people -- let me play another one.

Cut 12. This is another woman, talking to the city council in Chicago.

She's a black woman, listen to this.

VOICE: You know, hang those signs. About black people hating on immigrants. Because black people have no reason to hate on immigrants.

VOICE: Let me tell you something, you get those signs down. Any time that you're in Boston -- and Silverstein. And what's that?

Up here. And talk about how they have a hate crime. You know, because swastikas was in my bags, in that community.

They hung this in our communities. We want it off the polls. We want that to be the beginning of a hate crime.

And that organization, which is a white, liberal organization, like in the words of Malcolm X, who told us, that the white liberal is the worst enemy to the black man.

And you're coming up in here, acting like y'all are representing some social justice. All you're doing is trying to use black people, to try to make some money. Let me tell you y'all something here, we're done! The Democratic Party is done!

VOICE: Y'all going to abuse us. They'll abuse the black American.

VOICE: Clean it up.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Do you see what's happening?

People in small cities, people in big cities, have had enough.

And if you're listening to her, what she's saying is, it's just not you and the city council.

It's Democrats!

You have betrayed us.

I think this is going to crystallize like crazy, by the time we get to the election.

I -- I just think, we are in for a -- something pretty amazing.

Listen, here's Kamala Harris in a barbershop this weekend.

Cut 29, please. Roist and we're talking about specifically, something that happens with black people so we have to be specifically targeting to help those people.

Because if we put those people in a position. And everybody knows this. He need understands it.

In America. America, you did this to these people. You should write laws for these people.

Don't -- don't group us in with everybody. Because everybody did not -- let's be fair. We waited.

We don't -- we actually write the law. Those of us who are willing and able to do work. Will do work.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

So here she is, this a barbershop. Now, Cut 52.

Listen to Cut 52. Here she is, talking to Al Sharpton.

ALAN: Reparations of descendents of African descent.

If you were elected president, would you sign that bill, if you came across your desk?

VOICE: When I'm elected president, I will sign it.
(applauding)

GLENN: So why is she saying this? Why is she saying this?

She knows the black community is cratering on her. So now, we're going to sign reparations.

Well, how are we going to afford that and all of the things that we're paying for, with the illegals?

We can't!

Cloward and Piven.

Collapse the system. That's exactly what's happening.

Let me go to cut 48.

This is illegals. And the school buses in California.

Somewhere a group of migrants tried to board a school bus this morning, while it was traveling to a school.

The superintendent for the union school district, informed parents of that incident earlier today. It happened at one of the stops on the school district's bus route, that heads to Oak Grove Middle School and (inaudible) Primary.

Meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, in a similar area, along another route, the superintendent says that a group of migrants tried to stop another bus.

Border Patrol CHP and the sheriff's office have now been informed of these incidents. The superintendent says, that for the safety of everyone, if a driver sees a group of migrants at a bus stop, they will drive past it on -- and move on to the next.

GLENN: Stop. Hmm.

So if a bus driver is going to pick up your kid, at a bus stop, and he sees a bunch of illegals there, he's going to drive past, and let your kid leave them alone at the bus stop.

Oh, well, that's great. I feel good. I feel really good.

No. Seriously. Minute kids to ride the bus.

I want my kids waiting for the bus.

Sounds pretty safe! I'm telling you, the chickens are coming home to roost!

I'm telling you right now, if you get up and you vote and you bring everybody you know to vote, and you start talking about, are you seeing this?

What's happening in our community? What's happening in our schools.

What's happening in -- with illegal immigration. What's happening in the grocery store.

This will be a blowout.

Why Alan Dershowitz LEFT the Democrat Party after 70 years

Attorney Alan Dershowitz has been a Democrat for 70 years. He has only voted for Democratic presidents since JFK. But now, he no longer recognizes the Democratic Party. Dershowitz joins Glenn to explain why he left the Democrats behind to become an independent. After defending then-president Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, many Democrats distanced themselves from him. Since then, hatred of Israel and Jews has grown amongst their ranks, censorship has become the norm, and the Party has embraced the socialist leanings of Bernie Sanders and AOC. But Dershowitz tells Glenn that he’s not alone: liberals are fleeing the Democratic Party in droves! Dershowitz also comments on Republicans Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney’s endorsements of Kamala Harris and RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump.

GLENN: Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law professor. Emeritus.

Host of the Dershow.

And Get Trump author.

He came out this weekend, joining his voice to many others.

Saying, I am not a Democrat anymore.

He's an independent. He's not saying he is going to vote for Trump. But there is a problem in the democratic party, as we've been pointing out for a while now.

They're not your grandfather's Democratic Party. Your father's. Even maybe your Democratic Party anymore. They're not. Dershowitz is joining us now. Alan, how are you, sir?

ALAN: Well, I'm feeling really good as an independent. I've been a Democrat for 70 years. I started supporting the Democratic Party, in the early 1950s, as a kid, who went around in a sound truck, supporting Phillip Shuffler. The Democratic candidate, the assemblyman in Brooklyn.

And I haven't voted for single non-Democrats for president, since -- since John Kennedy in 1960.

But like Ronald Reagan said, the Democratic Party has left me, by having people like Keith Ellison, who was a supporter of the reverend -- and the Reverend Sharpton, who conducted an anti-Semitic pogrom, in the Bronx and in Brooklyn back in the day. And AOC, who says that Israel is a genocidal state. And -- and -- and people like Bernie Sanders. That's not my party. I can't support a party like that.

I'm going to be independent. And I'm hoping maybe some day, the Democrats will come back to their roots.

But until then, don't count on my support.

GLENN: This is really earth-shattering, I think to some people.

And the minute I read this, Alan. I thought of your children and your wife.

Because I know, I know decisions that you make. Like decisions I make. Affect the whole family.

How -- how is that going?

ALAN: Yeah. Terrible. Terrible. My nephew wrote to me yesterday, and said, you're now to the right of -- and then he mentioned, some of the people who -- you know, the old Republicans.

Cheney and others who are now supporting Harris.

And my family -- every -- my family is a Democrat.

And most of my friends.

I don't have that many friends left.

Because I have supported Donald Trump's civil liberties. Even before I left the democratic party.

I'm a civil libertarian first.

And I hate what the Democrats have done to Donald Trump.

You know, that New York case. And --

GLENN: But you --

ALAN: I've been on his side of the legal issues for years now.

GLENN: But what they're doing on censorship overall is terrifying.

ALAN: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Really terrifying.

ALAN: Well, it's happening around the world. It's what's happening in England. They're putting people in jail for protests.

GLENN: I know.

ALAN: It's horrible. And they're applying a double standard on universities. You know, you can't say a word negative about protected minorities on college campuses.

But, you know, if you use the wrong pronoun, you'll get expended. But you can call Israel a genocidal country. And you can say, you know, Jews are destroying America. That's okay. That's first America protected speech.

And I don't mind that, as long as you apply the same standard to everybody. They're not. They're not.

They're applying a double standard.

GLENN: So, Alan, do you sense that this is more than just you?

ALAN: Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of calls and emails, from people who say, you know, used to be Democrats. We still support a lot of the democratic platform.

On abortion rights and gay rights. But we can't be members of a party, for 50,000 -- or AOC. Or people like that. You know, the Republicans have their problem too, with Tucker Carlson.

He platformed recently a Holocaust denier. And he ought to be ashamed of himself for doing that. Neither party is perfect. But I think Republicans have done a better job of marginalizing their extremists than the Democrats have done.

GLENN: Well, I mean, you know, it's -- it's hard when Kamala came out, this weekend, saying, you know, I understand the Palestinians. Those who are standing up for the -- for Hamas.

Or the Palestinian cause.

I have sympathy for them.

And that's why Israel, they have to offer a two-state solution.

They don't want a two-state solution.

Israel has offered a two-state solution.

They don't want one.

ALAN: There isn't a single protester. I will give a thousand dollars to Hamas, if you can show me protesters, protesters who are calling for a two-state solution. What they're calling for is the end of Israel.

GLENN: River to the sea.

ALAN: What they're calling for is a victory of Hamas. What they're calling for is the end of Israel.

They're not calling for a two-state solution.

That's ridiculous.

And they're not even calling for a cease-fire.

Because Israel is agreeing to the cease-fire. Even the State Department says, it's all up to Hamas now.

Has a single protestor ever said, hey, Hamas, agree to a ceasefire, maybe then you can save some lives?

Nobody is calling for that. These are just calls for the end of Israel.

And they're calls for the end of America.

Recently, some of the protesters were burning American flags. And saying, our real goal is the destruction of America.

Because Israel is a surrogate for America. Why is there so much focus on Israel?

Is there any focus on Darfur and the Sudan, where people are literally dying of hunger and thirst? No! Because that has nothing to do with being anti-American. So it's all about anti-Americans.

GLENN: So when you left the democratic party, it's more than just their stance on Israel.

ALAN: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's the whole movement to the hard left.

And look I'm a centrist Democrat. I'm a liberal. I'm an antiradical. I believe in civil liberties, and free speech. All the basic aspects of the Bill of Rights. And the Democrats aren't supporting that these days. To them, it's free speech for me, but not for thee.

GLENN: So Dick Cheney came out. Speaking of your nephew.

ALAN: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Dick Cheney came out this weekend and said, there's never been a bigger threat to the republic. Or I think he probably said the democracy. Than Donald Trump.

What do you make of that?

ALAN: I don't know.

You know, he was a pretty tough vice president.

And pretty aggressive in his support, of American policies.

I don't know that it has to do with -- I don't know what it has to do with his feeling that the Republicans haven't give up him enough deference.

He hasn't quit the Republican Party.

As far as I know, he's still a Republican. But he will still vote for Harris and against Trump.

I know people like that as well. And I know people on the other side.

This is an election that is very much about personalities. You know, I don't know very many people who will vote for anybody in this election.

I think there are a lot of people voting against a candidate. And they haven't decided against the candidate they are voting against yet. The American people really were entitled to a better choice.

GLENN: Yeah. So if you were -- if you were talking in front of a jury. Let's make America 12 men and women.

ALAN: Yeah.

GLENN: And you had to make a case, that the Democrats are actually a bigger threat, at least the way they're currently put together. How would you change -- how would you approach the jury?

ALAN: Well, I would approach the jury, by be looking at the facts. By seeing what the Democrats have done. How they've abused the rule of law.

How they're violating the First Amendment. The Fifth Amendment.

The -- the Sixth Amendment.

They're using lawfare. And politics.

They're distorting democracy.

And look, I don't like the fact that President Trump claims he won the last election. He didn't win the last election.

Although, I think a lot of people think he did. But I don't like the way the world. And the country. And the Democrats have reacted to that.

He has a free speech where I can make that position. He shouldn't have been indicted for any of the charges that he was indicted for.

And I think if you would have singled out one case, it's the New York case, against him.

Where they made up a crime.

Has done more damage to the rule of law. And to democracy. Than anything Donald Trump has done.

GLENN: Alan, thank you so much.

I --

ALAN: My pleasure.

GLENN: I feel for your family.

Because I know what it's like. I know.

ALAN: It's tough for them. It's tough for them.

But look, they have to buy the whole package. They know who I am.

I stand up for principle. And, you know, I put family first. But I put principle first too.

GLENN: Yeah.

ALAN: And mostly my family has been supportive. Not everybody in the family. But mostly my family has been supportive.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, you're probably feeling a lot like Robert F. Kennedy.

Jr.

Right now.

ALAN: Well, Bobby is an old friend of mine.

I've known him since he was a young man.

Of course, I've supported the Kennedys, right from the beginning.

I tell you a funny story about that. I was at a dinner party. And they see this Caroline Kennedy next to me, and she said, I know you were -- I wouldn't have come because you defended Donald Trump.

And I said, yeah, but I also defended Ted Kennedy.

That's how I first came to Martha's Vineyard. Defending Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick. Would you have walked on me, for that? Well, she had no answer.

GLENN: Huh. What do you think of Robert F. Kennedy joining the Trump thing?

ALAN: I'm not advised. I mean, they have a lot in common.

And, you know, he has very strong views. Some of which I agree with. Some of which I disagree with.

And he's a serious guy.

And I have to tell you, he's a great volleyball player. I've played against him a couple of times. My nose still hurts.

Into my face. But I like Bobby.

GLENN: Yeah.

ALAN: And, you know, I like his spiciness. I don't agree with all of his politics.

But he shouldn't be attacked by his family. He's an individual. He should be entitled to his own opinions.

GLENN: Alan Dershowitz. Appreciate it. Good to talk to you.

Jason Whitlock: I’m voting TRUMP because of THIS

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock has never voted in a national election. He tells Glenn that he has never believed politics solved any problems. But while he still believes that, he has decided to cast his first-ever vote this November for Donald Trump. Jason joins Glenn to explain the 3 things that convinced him to head to the ballot box: the Democrats' persecution of January 6th defendants, the bravery of Elon Musk to stand up to global powers, and the courage of Donald Trump to get back up and stay in the fight after surviving an assassination attempt: "Men are taking real risks right now and for me to say it's not worth my time to register to vote and vote, I would be a coward, a hypocrite, and worthy of disparagement."

GLENN: Mr. Jason Whitlock. I have a lot to talk to you about today.

But let me just start with, you're voting?

JASON: Yes, I'm voting. I've registered here in Tennessee. And I will be casting a vote for Donald Trump.

GLENN: Okay. So this is -- this is a big deal.

And we've talked about this for years, and there have been really important elections. Why did you never vote?

JASON: Because I've never believed the politics really solved any problems. That I always felt like, you know, there's no political solutions to spiritual problems.

I still believe that, but I -- I do believe the stakes and the consequences of this election and one particular issue that is just near and dear to my heart, if anybody has followed me for any period of time, on January 6th, 2021, I didn't wait until the 7th or the 8th or the 9th or a year later.

I -- I felt like those people were justified in their actions. I -- my instincts said, they've been set up.

There were agitators.

And that this was being overblown. And calling this an insurrection.

And I just -- Ashley Babette being murdered for no reason.

And the only way to provide those people, that they have put underneath prison. The only way to provide relief to them, is if Donald Trump gets reelected and pardons them.

And so I -- it's easier for me to see the consequences and/or benefits in this election. And -- and, you know, I could go on with all the other things, that the left are doing. That bothered me.

But I don't -- sometimes, I question whether, are the Republicans in on some of this other stuff, that the left is doing?

As it relates --

GLENN: You think?

JASON: As it relates to getting January 6 people out of these dungeons. Trump can, should, I hope will do it. And I can't sit on the sidelines. And say, I did nothing. When I'm -- you know, when I have an opportunity to do something.

GLENN: So, you know, what's really weird. With the things that are going on now.

Jason, where, you know, we talk about it before. And say, you know, looks like this might happen. This might happen. These things are happening. I mean, the way they're coming after Elon Musk, all over the world now in a coordinated effort, is a little terrifying. Don't you think?

JASON: It's -- it's terrifying. But I tend to look at it more of -- it's inspiring. Because that would be part two of, like, this -- this guy has pushed all of his chips into the middle of the table. He's Elon Musk. He's made himself an assassination candidate, a career financial suicide candidate. He's -- he's been very bold. And I can't stand on the sidelines.

And watch this guy risk everything.

And the third part of it would just be the shot that they took at Donald Trump is -- is -- I mean -- men are taking real risks right now.

And for me to say, it's not even worth my time to register to vote. And vote.

I would be a coward and hypocrite.

And worthy of, you know, disparagement.

GLENN: Wow. Good for you.

What do you think will happen with the jail time?

I think it's the 16th. The judge in New York has to decide, you know, what his sentence is.

If they put him in jail, Jason. How do you think that will play out?

JASON: I think it's going to inspire more of us. I think that, you know, I'll be praying for President Trump, but I -- I just think, it just -- it's just pushing more and more chips into the middle of the table. And making conflict more and more inevitable.

You know, I -- it's -- I have so little confidence in the integrity of the election process. We've clearly become a banana republic. And I -- there's a TV show called Narcos. It was popular on Netflix. And it was about, you know, drug cartels and their influence over politics and Colombia and other South American countries.

And I watch it now, or I remember it now, and go, holy cow. We're just like that.

The -- the corrupt criminals are actually -- we have Venezuelan gangs taking over neighborhoods and communities, that we have politicians doing nothing about it.

And today, Glenn, I'm going to -- on my show, I will get into a discussion about The Great Replacement. And I will use sports to -- to unpack it, so that people can perhaps hear it in a non-political way.

But this replacement thing that they have going on. That too many black people don't understand, and I know it's not just black people that don't understand it.

We've lost our reverence for American citizenship.

And we just think, hey. Anybody and everybody should just be able to come over here, and do whatever.

And we're so caught up. We lost site of like, religion.

Shared values based on religious belief.

Shared values based on our geography.

Shared values based on our language.

That's our identity. Not this other.

Who you have sex with.

How you have sex.

What skin color.

Those things are irrelevant. Your language. Your geology. And the values from your religion.

That is what you should be tying us together.

But we don't care. This whole people of color thing. Show me in the history of the world, where people have accomplished something great winning magnificent, healthy, based off of shared skin color.

No. It's shared values. It's shared language. It's shared geography. And we're just throwing it all away. Hey. Just let any and everybody in here. If they're from Somalia. If they practice some other form of religion. That's fine. That's great. And if there's some other skin color. Diversity is our strength. Shared values had been our strength. And we have to get back to that, or we're all throwing away our safety.

WHAT did the FBI know before the Apalachee High School tragedy?

Once again, a killer was on the FBI’s radar. Glenn and Stu review the latest details about the Apalachee High School shooting, including some odd ones: Why is the 14-year-old killer’s father being charged? What happened after the FBI interviewed the family over a year ago? Why do we even have an FBI if all they do is spy on us illegally “for our own safety” and then fail to keep us safe?! And how do we already know so much about this killer when we still barely know anything about the attempted Trump assassin?

GLENN: Let's just assume, okay.

That you don't know anything about the -- the Georgia shooter, that went in and -- and murdered a bunch of people.

Just this week. Now, here's the headline. Now, Stu, I want you to do this with me. Pretend you don't know anything about this story. Okay? Other than some kid went this and shot.

STU: Terrible story.

GLENN: Here it is. Dad of alleged school shooter. Colt Gray. Arrested. Hit with murder and man slaughter charges.

What's your first emotion? What are you feeling?

STU: Anger. Anger at the father.

GLENN: At the father.

STU: Father and the son. Did he help plan this? Did he -- did he encourage it?

You know, it they have the texts of him saying, go do it, son?

What do they have on him?

GLENN: See. My first thought was, crimes that the son commits. You don't hold the father for. Or crimes of the father. You don't hold on the son.

That was my first reaction. Like, what are we doing now?

Okay? Colin Gray 54, charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder. And eight counts of cruelty to children. This is according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

This is the day after his 14-year-old son Colt Gray was charged with murder. The charges come after it was revealed that dad purchased an AR-15-style rifle to give to his son as a Christmas gift last year.

What's your emotion? What are you thinking?

STU: I mean, I can't believe he would do such a thing. Obviously, he wanted this to happen. This is what I'm supposed to feel.

GLENN: I got my first gun from my grandfather when I was 12. Try not to hurt yourself. Okay.

Try not to --

STU: That was a different era.

GLENN: My family.

STU: That's the era where they built the playgrounds with the 42-foot ladders with --

GLENN: With rocks. With no nets.

STU: Yes. That was that era.

GLENN: That's when we lived. That's when children lived. All right.

These charges. Now, I'm thinking to myself. Oh, now, this is another way to get guns. Because I can get my son a gun, as long as it's legal.

I can give him a gun.

I don't know what the laws are in Georgia.

These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly, allowing his son, Colt, to possess a weapon. Colt received the deadly present from his father, just seven months.

Now, things are going to change pretty hard.

He got his deadly present from his father. Just seven months after authorities visited the pair, when the FBI received tips about online school shooting threats.

So wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Dad gave him a gun after the FBI was at the house. Now I'm thinking that the dad is a total dirtbag and deserves everything.

Except, I also wonder -- now, wait a minute. The FBI knew about this kid. This is a roller coaster ride.

Okay. Colin Gray told the police at the time, that he had hunting guns at his home. But said Colt did not have unsupervised access to them.

Okay. The teen also denied making the threats. Oh. So it didn't happen then. Colt Gray allegedly gunned down two fellow students and two teachers, when he opened fire at the school on Wednesday morning. Those killed were students. Blah, blah, blah. Nine others. Seven students and two teachers were hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

Barrow County sheriff Judge Smith said, Thursday night, he was happy to reveal that all of those injured will make a full recovery.

Okay. The disturbed teenager came from a broken home. Now, this is the information that the FBI had, months before the -- the shooting.

The disturbed teenager came from a broken home. Where he and his sisters were regularly abused by their troubled mother, and visited frequently by police and child services.

Colt's mother, 43-year-old Marcy gray. Forty-three. Has a lengthy rap sheet. Spanning 17 years. And four Georgia counties.

Including arrest for drug possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence. Lauren Vickers who lived next door to the Grays and Jefferson, said the children were always wearing dirty clothes and sometimes were hungry. It was constant abuse, she said.

Colt's aunt, Annie Brown told the Washington Post, that her nephew was struggling with mental health issues. And was, quote, begging for help from everyone around him, before he shot up the school.

Okay. Okay.

I think we know what happened here. Okay? I think we got a pretty good handle.

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, because they're not protecting us. Listen, Georgia school shooting, suspect, on FBI radar, since 2023.

How about this one?

FBI got a tip about shooting suspect before the -- the day before the 2021 arrest. Suspect shooter and attacks on Jewish men, was on FBI's radar.

I'm just reading headlines from the past. Iowa mass shooter on FBI's radar.

The Highland Park shooting highlights limitations in pursuing disturbing content online.
Ohio man was on the FBI's radar for months. Officials say, Ricky Schiffler, 42, was killed after hours after trying to breach an FBI office.

Main police were alerted weeks ago, about the shooters threats. Suspect in double homicide, kidnapping was on FBI's radar.

What went wrong? FBI missed signals in four mass shootings. What the hell are they -- they doing?

What are they doing? I mean, you know what, I think we should just have their radar.

I think that's all we should have. We should just have something. Boop. Boop. Boop. Just show us the radar. That's all we need.

We don't need any humans to man it. It could be running by itself. That radar. Always on their radar.

That could just be running by itself. In a room locked up. And nobody ever sees it.

That's how effective the FBI is on this. So congratulations. I wonder what they're doing. You know, besides arresting grandma. You know, the true villains of the deadliest of all deadly days.

January 6th. By the way, there's a -- there's a new series coming out from the Babylon Bee on January 6th.

Here's a -- here's a little preview. Do you have the preview here?

It's cut -- that's --

VOICE: Nagasaki. The heat of the universe. These are some of the deadliest days in history.

But none of them compare to the most deadliest day, January 6th, 2021.

Coming soon, in the most epic movie event, since Robot Jocks, Left Behind, or maybe even Sunk the Mask.

The Babylon Bee investigates the darkest day in the history of democracy.

VOICE: Where were you on January 6th?

VOICE: In January? Storming the Capitol, baby.

VOICE: Scary stuff like this happened.
(music)

VOICE: Okay.
(music)

GLENN: Just shows a guy moving the podium.

VOICE: So a scale of nine to ten, how terrifying was what you just witnessed?

VOICE: Three? I don't know.

VOICE: We go on location. We bring you 100 percent true facts.

VOICE: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was murdered over seven times.

VOICE: We asked the tough questions.

VOICE: Is it true that you have a Jewish space leader?

VOICE: This is incredibly boring. Can you please explain it to me using Marvel characters.

VOICE: The scariest crooks you'll ever meet.

VOICE: Are you a dangerous insurrection man?

VOICE: Who is asking?

VOICE: We're in. Into the lair of darkness I go. Darkness because these are Republicans, not because --

VOICE: Shame! Shame!
(laughter)

VOICE: This fall, the only way you can save democracy, is by becoming a member of the Babylon Bee. So you can see January 6th.

The most deadliest day.

VOICE: Where were you on January 6th?

VOICE: I was in that mob, that is going into the Capitol.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh. You know, this is -- they had took something that we should be concerned about.

And just made it into a joke.

It's just a joke now. By -- by -- by calling it the deadliest day, in the history of America. Worst than the Civil War.

Really?

The most dangerous day to democracy. By doing all of that. And then going out and arresting grandmothers. And putting them in jail for two years.

You know, I think. I think they made a joke out of our Justice Department. And our justice system.

Well, that and Hunter Biden, you know, going to court yesterday.

And saying, I want to plead guilty. Without saying I'm guilty.

And the judge saying, no. You can't do that.

All right. Then I'm guilty. I did it. What? The Justice Department say total yolk. A total joke. And you know whose advantage that works out for? People that want to cause chaos? I don't know. I don't know. You know, when you can't arrest people, let me -- let me give you this. Cut -- cut 11. Here's cut 11.

VOICE: Answers about a weekend attack, police say, they found the victim lying in a bed with a pickax, embedded in his skull.

A witness says, that they saw 26-year-old Hanson Hernandez-Moran hitting the victim multiple times, with the farming tool. Hernandez is charged with second-degree attempted murder. And we showed you these pictures, a large police presence. And KPD cruisers lined up outside the home where it happened.

GLENN: What about the --

VOICE: According to the report, Hernandez-Moran ran off, turned himself in to the police at the scene. The victim was transported to UT Medical Center with --

GLENN: But is he a citizen? Yeah. No, you see. This is an illegal. An illegal took a pickax to somebody.

But that's -- you know, that's no big deal. That's really no big deal. You know.

Okay. So we have a few Venezuelan gangs. Do you know that the Venezuelan gangs, do you know that they made themselves apparent to the police, about a year ago?

STU: Here on the radar? Of the police?

GLENN: They were on the FBI radar.

Why? Why has nobody come in and just said, yeah. We're going to take all of these guys out. We're going to put them in prison, or we'll kill them.

But they're not going to do this. No.

I mean, where a-- where is this story?

Where has this story been for a year? Answer: Not with the media. Because they're lying to you. Just like that last story.

She didn't say who that guy was. It is important to say, he's not a citizen.

Let me translate. This wouldn't have happened if we didn't have open borders.

STU: That's why it's good that we have a prosecutor in chief, that can come into the Oval Office.

And she's the only one, Glenn, who has prosecuted cartels. The only one. And that is why we need her in there. The tough on the border, border hawkish Kamala Harris.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's prosecuted the cartels. You know, I'm a little more for Donald Trump, just sending planes with bombs over their compounds.

That's what I'm for. That's what I'm for. No prosecution. We don't have to prosecute them. We know where they live. We know who they are.

Stop -- you know, stop trading in children.

And stop making fentanyl, and shipping it across our border. Or we will deem you an enemy of the United States. Buh-bye.

Now, I would like a justice system. But I don't think we have one right now.

Don't think we have one.

STU: Well --

GLENN: And until we can scare the hell out of the bad guys, we're not going to have much time.

To go through court. You know, for three or four years.

Let's -- let's -- let's make sure that our enemies, that know we're serious. And I think Donald Trump will do that. I think he will do that.

STU: Can I ask a question on this entire series of stories? And perhaps maybe we take a break, and you come back, and we talk about.

GLENN: Well.

STU: The -- like, for example, this case in Georgia. You know what I listened to this morning?

Glenn. What I listened to this morning. Was the audio of the entire conversation, that police had with this kid and his dad. A year ago.

I know about him. I know about his family's history. I'm really -- I've heard about the abusive mom. I've heard about her leaving. I've heard about the Christmas presents he's purchased. I've heard an incredible amount of detail about this case. And great.

Why have I heard almost nothing about the guy who tried to shoot Donald Trump?

GLENN: Well, because he had no footprint. He had no digital footprint, Stu. None whatsoever. None was what. Back in just a minute, with a little more on that.

You know, it was a very disingenuous question, that Stu just posed.

You know, why -- why do I know everything about this shooter, but I don't know really, very much about Nashville?

You know, or the guy who killed the president.

Or tried to kill the president.

You know, we all know, he had no digital footprint.

I mean, there are a lot of teens that have zero footprint.

And even more teens that have secret encrypted accounts with foreign entities, in three different countries.

That happens all the time.

But the real answer on why we don't know, is because they're taking this so seriously, Stu. They're putting the same guy, that was -- was -- and still is, on the -- the Vegas shooting.

They got him on the assassination.

And he also -- I mean, he's got a lot of things going on.

He's also looking into the pipe bombs. At the DNC.

STU: Oh, good.

GLENN: And RNC.

STU: So they were on top of it.

GLENN: Yeah. He's on top of it.

It's Bill.

He's like, oh, no. Another massive case?

All right. It will take me a little bit longer to get this information out.

But I'm the guy. I'm the guy.

So we have our best guy on it.

STU: Bill?

GLENN: Yeah. Bill.

I would like to tell you more about him.

But I can't get that information from the DOJ. Or the FBI.

But rest assured.

It's on their radar.

It's on their radar.
