How to make sure NO MORE American icons like Harley Davidson go woke
Many Americans didn’t expect Harley Davidson of all companies to go woke, as filmmaker Robby Starbuck exposed. Harley has since walked back a few of its DEI-related policies and issued a half-hearted apology. But is it too little, too late? Glenn argues that it’s time to take a stand and remember the American spirit that made these companies what they are. Companies like Harley Davidson, Ford, John Deere, and Levi’s aren’t just brands for corporate boards to bend to their will. They’re American icons. But what they’ve become is a slap in the face to hard-working Americans across the country. “Show your kids that sometimes, doing the right thing really hurts,” Glenn says, “and SELL YOUR FRIKKIN’ HARLEY.”

GLENN: Does it really matter, where Levi's are made?
Does it really matter that, when anywhere in the world, you see a can of Coca-Cola, they view it as America?
I read an amazing analysis on the birth of -- of modern America.
And it talked about how the veterans came back from World War II.
And it was a combination of things like the GI Bill, that opened up, avenues for Americans that were previously never there.
American soldiers were returning home.
Many of them were fighting men.
Warriors.
Who saw the worst humanity could throw at them. They fought for freedom. And they brought back skills that you'll never teach in any primary, or university campus.
The veterans benefits open up the possibility for the American dream.
Over 13 million people, some went to college. While others bought homes.
The latter, opened up businesses, empowered by their newly taught skill sets, things like engineering, auto, air mechanics, all amplified by a newfound grit and determination.
We hadn't had that grit and determination since the days of the American pioneers. The US interstate system, followed just a few years later. And it connected this new era of American pioneers like never before. Go west, young man! Was replaced by get your hands dirty. Work for what you believe in. Improve your community. Fix, not replace what's broken.
See, there used to be a time, when we took pride, in the maintenance, of America. And the maintenance of American heritage.
It's exactly what it was. American Heritage. American brands, like John Deere, Tractor Supply, Ford, Chevrolet, Indian, and Harley Davidson. We took pride in those American brands. I'm not even a motorcycle guy, and I know Indian and I know Harley because they're American.
We protected their legacy. We worked on their products in the fields. In our home the barrages. We made businesses to ensure that they would continue serving the American public. These were not commodities. They were our livelihood in many cases. They plowed our field and fed our families. They took our kids to school.
They were as American as it got. They were symbols of everything we would fight and die for. They were symbols of what we could live for.
To the children of some of those returning veterans, how many learned about real American muscle while leaning over the front end of a 1965 Shelby GT, or a '69 Chevrolet Camaro, or a 1970 Chevy Chavelle. How many learned about the internal combustion engine, while dad tore apart a 1941 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead?
How many assisted your dad to keep the plowing season alive, by repairing the family's 49 Model B John Deere tractor, and how many trips to Tractor Supply did it take?
No doubt, you bloodied a bunch of fingers. You sat in the garage, maybe on the hood, or in the field. And dumped about 10 gallons of sweat, but you did it proudly.
You listened as your dad or your grandpa patiently said, there's where the crankshaft is. That's the water pump. That's the alternator. That's the fuel pump. That's the line that goes up to the carburetor.
He might have even let you when you were young, pull on the throttle linkage, so you could hear the sound of that engine sing. There was no agenda here, outside of pure American greatness. American brands built our country. We relied and depended on them. We built businesses of our own, off of them. And we passed that legacy on to our children.
It was their birthright. And it created American -- modern America.
So why am I telling you all this?
Well, that's something that the elites will never understand.
This is why today's corporate DEI craze is such a huge slap in the face. Woke politics have replaced the purity of the American brands that we grew up on. We depended on these products. We built income off of them. We supported our communities with their logos displayed proudly on our barns or in our garages. And the symbols are now being replaced by corporate boards who get their marching orders from people like Larry Fink at BlackRock. All of these companies have been exposed. Robbie Starbuck has recently exposed multiple companies for this behavior.
John Deere, Tractor Supply. Then the latest is the most American brands. The most American brand as any brand could get. It's Harley-Davidson.
Can you think of a bigger slap across America's face, than Harley-Davidson, going woke?
Harley is one of the -- it's the one of the brands that helped wind the Second World War. The Harley-Davidson WLA, carried American GIs to war, against the Nazis.
Then the WLA was brought back to the United States. And a new era of motorcycles were born. After the veterans began chopping them up for civilians to use. The chopper was born.
And ever since then, veterans returning from war, from the 1940s, until the wars today, they all ride on a Harley.
It's therapeutic. It helps people deal with what they saw. Or as an homage to experience the openness of American freedom.
That is the Harley legacy that had been taught and handed down, to Harley-Davidson writers from father to son. Father to son. Father to son.
Since 1903. So what's Harley doing that's so bad. Well, they openly support the equality act, which would allow men into girl's bathrooms, sports and locker rooms.
Harley-Davidson funded an all-ages Pride event that featured a rage room, next to the Drag Queen story time. 1800 employees had to do virtual training on how to become LGBTQ+ allies. The woke CEO, he signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge.
They made February and March Months of Inclusion, because apparently Pride Month isn't enough.
They've included the United Way trainings, which are way woke. They sent some white male employees, to a white male woke only diversity training program. They're working to have less white suppliers and dealers and employees. And the list goes on and on and on.
Is that what Harley-Davidson stands for?
Is that what they want America to become?
You know, the purpose of cultural Marxism and progressivism.
Is to destroy, what was once great. By attacking everything that made it great, back at the very beginning.
Make America great again.
I just don't understand that. When was America great?
America was great, for most of its life.
America is still struggling to be great.
But great things happen here every day.
One little disconnect at a time, from what made America great.
We're seeing it happen now in realtime.
Woodrow Wilson once said, the use of a university, is to young gentle men as unlike their fathers as possible. Did you know that? Did you know that's what a university was trying to do?
The 21st century fascists are doing this one beloved brand at a time. You will heal. You will kneel to us.
By and large, the universities are lost. They should be shut down, but that wasn't enough, to lose the universities. Then they turned their sights to our children in grade schools. But that wasn't enough either.
They go after the heart of American entrepreneurial spirit. And the beloved brands that made us who we are today.
The brands that we were brought up to love. We learned to see them as icons for what we stood for.
But now we're being conditioned to be unburdened.
Do me a favor, will you? Do yourself a favor?
Do your country a favor. Reconnect your children to the basics of what American products, what made them so great. Why American made is so more than just a slogan. It represents the weary men and women, working in factories and small towns, all across Middle America. Who are trying to give their kids a better life.
It's the dad teaching his kids how to change their own tires and oil.
It's the multiple trips to the local part store. And the thrill of victory. As the family tractor roars back to life.
Teach your kids, that getting their hands dirty, is a good thing.
Something fought, bled, and sweat for.
Has meaningful value. And that's who we are as Americans. It benefits the family. It supports the community.
It spreads that beloved American brand all over the country and the world. And that can actually go all the way to the top of the corporate boardroom.
That connection, that you have, that power, that that spirit creates. That's what the globalists fear most.
Your passion, because your passion has the power to destroy, every coercive, motive, they can ever dream up.
It is the same passion that fueled American pioneers.
It was carried on to our soldiers, in the war against the Nazis.
And then, drove them to catapult this country, into the modern era. That passion, if we find it again, is why they ultimately will lose.
That's the passion that they're trying to snuff out.
Unburden your family from the burden burdening will you? Teach them the history of what made this country great.
If a corporation tries to pervert a beloved American brand, show your kids what made them beloved, to begin with.
And then show them, that sometimes, doing the right thing really hurts. And sell your freaking Harley. Then go replace the alternator of the Chavelle. Explain how Harley-Davidson, the engine noise was designed to be iconic.
Have the crank shift only has one pin, and the arrangement of the cylinders makes the pistons fire unevenly. No other motorcycle, sounds the same.
Why? Because it's an American motorcycle. The Harley-Davidson.
It's a part of the story. And that right there, is why American companies are so beloved.
Because they're part of our story. And they are -- they are dismissing and destroying our story. Reconnect to the stories. Get some oil and grease, and break dust on your hands. Take pride when your kids ultimately cover their faces while trying to help you. Passion drives change. And it is your passion, that scares tyrants the most.

Are the anti-DNC protests funded by our BIGGEST ENEMIES?
Over 200 groups are slated to protest outside the DNC in Chicago this week. According to a Capital Research Center investigation, over 150 of them qualify as “extremist groups.” Glenn reviews the shocking findings, including that at least 147 of the groups are either connected to or have supported terrorist groups or terrorist attacks. And most of those groups have supported Hamas! Just as concerning is how many of them are either linked to or have supported a foreign nation that is hostile to the United States. But as these groups tear down fences outside the DNC, the Democratic Party appears to be appeasing them! “This is foreign interference from our greatest enemies,” Glenn says, “and the Democrats are playing footsie with them.”
Transcript

GLENN: So I don't know if you've seen what the Capitol Research Center has put out. But they have -- they have a very narrow definition of extremist.
Extremist groups are only designated extremist groups, if they have documented ties, or publicly expressed support for terrorism. Or terrorist groups.
Ties to or publicly expressed solidarity, with hostile foreign governments. And/or support for anarchism.
Marxism, or communism.
Okay.
That's the deal.
So how many of those groups are in Chicago, right now?
At least 279 extremist groups, are now on the streets, as part of this coalition, to march on the DNC in Chicago.
Separate coalition that is publicly planning disruptions at the convention. Several Chicago-based Islamic groups that are also involved in the efforts. But are not officially enlisted in any coalition.
Of the 229 groups, involved in the anti-DNC efforts. 162 or 71 percent qualify as an extremist group.
At least 147 of the anti-DNC groups have expressed support. 147 of these groups, have expressed support for, or ties to terrorist groups or terrorist attacks.
But a handful of one of those 147 groups have ties to or publicly support Hamas, and/or the terrorist attacks on Israel. On October 7th.
Hamas allied and Iran-backed Marxist Leninist groups also on the ground. The popular Front for Liberation of Palestine. They have strong, direct links for a coalition that is openly planning to replicate the violent 1968, Democratic Convention.
The majority of the identified extremist groups are linked to, or have expressed solidarity with at least one of the nine foreign governments, hostile to the United States. Including Iran, Venezuela, China, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Pakistan, and Nicaragua. The extremist groups also have ties to or express support for 19 foreign terrorist organizations. Including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp, the PFLP, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, the Lion's Den, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamat Islami, the Taliban, al-Qaeda. Marxist terrorists from Puerto Rico. Islamist terrorists in Sudan. Lashkar Etieba. Hisbolmahagene (all phonetic). Duketarhanemalot, and the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People's Party.
The coalition to march on the DNC's official statement and website content explicitly supports Hamas and the atrocities committed on October 7th. The group's official involvement in the coalition is a very strong indication, that they are a supporter of terrorism.
A large portion of the extremist groups have engaged in, endorsed or attempted to assist acts of violence, property destruction, economic sabotage on the US soil, and justifiably described as acts of terrorism.
The monitoring of the mainstream media coverage of the protest found almost a universal failure to inform readers or watchers about the pro-terrorism stances of the groups and the activists mention and had quoted in the news articles and on air segments.
That's quite a list. That seems, I don't know, maybe dangerous. And something people should point out. What do you think, Stu?
STU: You think that's worth pointing out? I don't want to get extreme here.
You sound like some sort of nutjob protester there with that sort of request.
GLENN: Yeah. I know.
But look at the -- look at the groups.
These are all the enemies, the worst of the worst. And they are 60 percent of them, they say, are from foreign countries.
Sixty percent of these people, coming in, on the streets of Chicago, are from foreign countries.
This is foreign interference. From our greatest enemies.
And the Democrats are playing footsy with them.
STU: Yeah. I mean --
GLENN: They should be denouncing them from the stage.
STU: Yeah. That should be -- not handing them their chosen vice presidential pick.
That's certainly not the direction to go. If you think about it that way, the reason why Tim Walz is the vice presidential candidate is to appease these groups. They specifically picked him, because they were worried about these protests. And worried that these stuff would flare up. So they gave him, exactly what they wanted. And what happens, Glenn, when you give terrorists. And terrorist supporters exactly what they want?
GLENN: They demand more, and get louder. And more dangerous, and closer to you.
STU: And you incentivize them, to do more of this. So this is what they had to do to deal with. They made this bed, and they now have to lie in it.
GLENN: So let me just -- now that you know who these protesters are. And you know the reaction of the Harris campaign. To embrace and get closer.
Do you think she's qualified to be commander-in-chief? Do you think -- sitting down at a negotiating table with Iran, South Korea, China, Putin, that she would be able to actually bring peace to the world?
This is the most dangerous time, in our country's history.
This is more dangerous than the Civil War. Because we have nuclear weapons, pointed at us.
We not only have the chance of Civil War, in this country. We are looking at global annihilation, as well, if we're not careful. My gosh.
I -- I just -- you know, nobody is -- nobody is pointing anything out, in the media. The mainstream media.
It was all bunny rabbits and Easter flowers, from the networks yesterday. They intentionally hid Joe Biden.
They intentionally. You don't go 90 minutes late for the president of the United States. They pushed him out of prime time on the East coast.
And that was intentional. They're hiding him. Nobody wants to see him, anymore.
He's now on vacation, in California. And I -- hope his health stays really, really strong.
But, again, I ask, who is running our country?

YouTube censors Glenn for NONVIOLENT content, but is fine with THESE videos?!
YouTube recently censored Glenn Beck's newsmaking interview with British independent journalist Tommy Robinson about the UK riots. Media outlets and officials in Great Britain and the European Union have claimed that Robinson's rhetoric instigated the violent riots, but he called for NONVIOLENCE in his interview with Glenn: "They're saying it's Tommy Robinson [calling for violence]. Whereas the truth, if you watch my videos, is the total opposite." So, why would YouTube censor the video and declare it "inappropriate or offensive to some audiences"? Is the company bowing to a global censorship regime? Glenn asks these questions and also highlights some content that YouTube HASN'T censored, including a video of Kamala Harris saying that BLM "should not" "let up" as they were burning cities and attacking police officers.

GLENN: YouTube has taken away some of our -- some of our freedoms on YouTube. Why? Well, because we have -- we dared to have a news maker on.
We dared have Tommy Robinson on. What was it, last week?
Week after.
Now, he's the guy that the English are saying, is responsible for it.
I interviewed him.
I asked him about violence. He said, he was absolutely against violence. And there wasn't one thing in this eight minute interview. There's not one single thing that he said about violence.
Except, to say, he's not for it. In fact, let me -- could we please play the Tommy Robinson clip here.
You are not -- you're not calling for the rioting and burning of buildings and bricks through windows. Correct?
TOMMY: Glenn, if you just -- I put a media together. The media, the politicians can be building a narrative, and they're everywhere. The boy -- so I thought -- if you look, it's my latest tweet on Twitter. I made a video. And I've (inaudible) that said, do not be violent. You're a moron if you're violent. Put the bricks down. You're ruining everything.
I have appealed for calm, peace, and love from the start. But the truth of the matter, the truth of the matter, because my name is banned from Facebook and Instagram and TikTok. So they can tell the public whatever they want, and they're currently saying that I am indeed violent. So you're looking at the bias. Right now, on British TV, on every chapter, everywhere, they're saying it's violence.
Whereas the truth, if you watch my videos is the total opposite.
GLENN: Jeez. Huh!
So that's the only time we talked about anything violent, and he was against it. But YouTube is taking now their marching orders from the European Union. This is something, we warned you would happen.
We now all have to comply by Europe's standards.
So if Europe puts this woke bullcrap in, these public private partnerships will say, well, yeah.
We have to do it for Europe. Otherwise, we won't be able to compete. So, you know, they'll kick us out of Europe.
Good. Kick us out of Europe! Kick them out of Europe! That's fine!
This is not an American first attitude, because we're better than everybody else. You don't break our Constitution. You don't go against the things that set America and the rest of the world free, for the first time, in human history.
We have certain standards here. Don't we?
Or maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. And I can't figure out the standards, at all.
Of -- of YouTube. Because this is -- this is the note we got.
YouTube doesn't allow hate speech. Tell me what the hate speech was there. Tell me what the hate speech was.
Or content that provides or promotes or incites violence.
Okay?
Tell me, tell me how we promoted or incited violence.
Can't do that. And in some cases, content that is potentially controversial, or offensive.
It may remain up, but with some features disabled. That's exactly what this is.
It's -- it's remained up. But you can't share it. You have to go through a maze to get to it.
And the features are disabled.
You can't read any comments.
You can't make any comments.
Your videos are still live on YouTube, but some features have been disabled.
Meaning, the Watch page will no longer have comments, suggested videos, or likes.
So you can't share anything. This is -- you know what this is? This is a digital ghetto! And I know I've got a lot of heat from social media, when I first talked about a digital ghetto. I said, that's what they're building.
You can talk all you want. Talk all you want! You Jews!
You just have to do it behind this wall. You can say whatever you want. Oh, but nobody will see us, because there's a wall between us?
It's a digital ghetto!
YouTube. Telling the truth, is not inciting violence. Telling the truth is not controversial, and if it's offensive, get over it! Since when, in this country, can we not talk to a news maker? What was hateful about this? What part incited violence? Oh, I know it's controversial. But with whom?
The elites. I'm going to show this Wednesday night, this is what the whole special is about.
This is going around the Constitution because public/private partnerships are in bed with our governments. The -- and we're very careful. We are very careful, on what we put on YouTube.
Because we know that X, and the Blaze, are the only true free platforms, that we don't have to worry about.
Two. Two platforms, that we don't have to worry about!
X and the Blaze. My gosh.
I got this on Friday, right after the show. And I was livid. Livid.
How dare you!
This is a news maker, on a news making show.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
That's controversial. He said fight, fight, fight. You know what he meant by that. He meant burn down Minneapolis. No, they already did that.
May I just show you some other things that have not had any problems on YouTube. And are still live and are still there?
You know the -- the home secretary of the UK, is now saying, that they -- they have to look at ideological trends, and what they need to do is hold people's views about women.
It's not okay anymore to ignore the massive, growing threat, caused by online hatred towards women.
What online hatred towards women is there?
Come on. Think this through. Well, if you're talking about the UK, I would say it's about 60 percent of London now. What is it?
58 percent Islamist.
They don't seem to like women an awful lot. They don't seem to give the rights to women.
Is that who you're talking about England? Or are you talking about the extreme right-wing?
Oh, you know what, it's -- this is it. It's not the Islamist that you're worried about. It's all of those people that say, these men can beat up women in a boxing ring.
Right? The one that says, your daughter has to compete against men in sports, or the one that says, hey! You, as a guy, you can become a woman, and become anything.
You go, girl. Even though, you're a man. That must be the hate. The ones that hate women, right?
The ones that have taken all the rights that women have worked so hard for, and flushing them down the toilet. That has to be the women's rights that you're talking about.
Or is it the extreme right-wing?
Now, when you listen, I think you can spot. I mean, it kind of -- inciting violence. You kind of know what it is, when you hear it. Tommy Robinson saying, no. You're destroying everything we're trying to do, by picking up a brick or having violence.
Yeah. I kind of understand that. Because if it wasn't the FBI or the CIA or whoever, that orchestrated January 6, if it was really just a bunch of right-wing people, which I highly doubt.
Thanks a lot. You've destroyed everything. So I understand that, what Tommy is saying. But let's listen to some other things that are not inciting violence or controversial, that are still on YouTube with all of their privileges.
Cut five.
VOICE: Some of the success that we've been able to achieve around criminal justice reform, would not have happened in recent years were it not for Black Lives Matter. And the intensity and the brilliance of that movement, that forced at least that -- that there would be some counterforce to the status quo, which is so reluctant for change, if not hostile to change. That's what these movements do. They're not going to stop. They're not going to stop. And they're not -- this is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not going to stop. And everyone, be aware, because they're not going to stop. They're not going to stop before Election Day November. And they're not going to stop after election take. And everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't -- they're not going to let up, and they should not. And we should not.
GLENN: And they should not. And they should not, said Kamala Harris. And they should not. That's in the midst of the rioting in the streets. YouTube says that's fine.

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.
