Harley-Davidson went WOKE — it’s up to us stop other American icons from doing the same
If there’s one company you’d expect to be exploding with hardcore American values, it’s the famed, American made, tough guy motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson.
Which is why Glenn Beck was absolutely shocked when filmmaker Robby Starbuck exposed Harley-Davidson, among others, for DEI-related policies that flew directly in the face of what being an American means.
“There used to be a time when we took pride in the maintenance of America, the maintenance of American heritage,” Glenn says. “It’s exactly what it was: American heritage. American brands like John Deere, Tractor Supply, Ford, Chevrolet, Indian, and Harley-Davidson.”
“We protected their legacy. We worked on their products in the fields, in our home, garages,” he continues, adding, “There was no agenda here outside of pure American greatness.”
Now, these companies are being infiltrated by people who “get their marching orders from people like Larry Fink at Black Rock” — which becomes obvious when you see what they’ve been supporting.
Harley-Davidson not only got behind the “equality act,” which would allow men into girls bathrooms, sports, and locker rooms, but the company funded an all-ages Pride event that featured a rage room next to the drag queen story time.
In addition, 1800 employees had to finish a virtual training on how to become LGBTQ+ allies, and the CEO signed the CEO action for diversity and inclusion pledge — making February and March “months of inclusion.”
White male employees were sent to a white male-only diversity training program, and the company itself is attempting to lower the number of white suppliers and employees it has.
While the company has apologized and is now walking back its leftist agenda, Glenn believes it's up to Americans to remind these companies of why they’re here and what they stand for.
“Do yourself a favor, do your country a favor. Reconnect your children to the basics of what American products are, what made them so great, why 'American Made' is more than just a slogan,” Glenn says.
“It represents the weary men and women working in factories, in small towns, all across middle America, who are trying to give their kids a better life,” he continues. “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. That connection goes all the way to the top of the corporate boardroom, that connection that you have, that power that that spirit creates, that’s what globalists fear most.”

Why YOU should DEMAND the firing of Biden’s Secret Service director
Former President Donald Trump may have survived the attempt on his life, but it doesn’t seem like the Secret Service had much to do with it.
“It was by the grace of God that Donald Trump survived, it was not with the help of the Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” says.
Not only does Cheatle refuse to resign, but she’s blaming others for what happened on the day the former president narrowly escaped with his life.
“There was local police in the area that were responsible for the outer perimeter of the building,” Cheatle said in an interview on ABC News, adding, “I’m being told that the shooter was actually identified as a potential person of suspicion.”
“At least we can be thankful that apparently she’s so stupid that she thought that it would be wise to point that out,” Gonzales says. “Like, that’s how incapable we were. We identified him, I mean, he still managed to get a shot off, he still managed to get on the roof, he still managed to go around unscathed.”
At one point in the director’s interview with ABC News, the reporter asked her who was “responsible for this happening?”
“The Secret Service is responsible for the protection of the former president,” Cheatle responded, before the reporter asked, “So, the buck stops with you?”
“The buck stops with me. I am the director of the Secret Service. It was unacceptable and it’s something that shouldn’t happen again,” she said, later adding that she does “plan to stay on.”
Gonzales cannot believe the woman plans to stay in her position.
“Number one, Cheatle is obviously an under-qualified, nepotistic, DEI hire,” Gonzales says, noting that an insider told the New York Post that Jill Biden’s chief adviser Anthony Bernal was the one who pushed for her to get the director job.
While Cheatle was previously a part of Vice President Joe Biden’s security detail, she held a string of administrative jobs that included the assistant director of protective operations — where she managed the budget.
“I’m sure that the person who handles the finances would know how to just make sure that your people don’t die,” Gonzales scoffs, adding, “She’s a glorified secretary who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who was connected with someone else.”
In addition, the director is also blaming the “sloped roof” for what happened.
“That building in particular has a sloped roof, at its highest point, and so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof and so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building from the inside,” she said in the interview with ABC News.
“We saw the counter snipers behind Donald Trump who were on sloped roofs,” Gonzales says. “The entire point of Secret Service is for them to put themselves in harm's way in order to save whoever it is that they’re guarding.”
