Reversal of FATE: Steve Baker’s update on January 6 prisoners is ‘a good sign’



January 6 started as a chance for Trump supporters to innocently protest and quickly turned into a day that would change their lives forever.

Now, however, things might be taking a turn for the better.

“One J-sixer is seeing a reversal of fate,” Jill Savage of “Blaze New Tonight” explains.

“John Strand is actually one of the more, let’s call it, infamous stories, certainly one of the more high-profile cases of all the January 6 defendants,” Steve Baker tells Savage.

Strand was friend and bodyguard of Simone Gold — a doctor and attorney who was the deplatformed founder of the Frontline American Doctors. Gold had been accused of “disinformation” for recommending alternative therapies that were not part of what Baker calls the “approved narrative” regarding COVID-19.

Gold was scheduled to speak on January 6 at one of the six legally permitted events scheduled on the Capitol property that day.

“By the time they got to the Capitol, everything had gone to hell in a handbasket, and so there was nothing but chaos by the time they arrived. The breaches had already taken place. John Strand and Simone Gold did not participate in violence, they did not participate in breaching the Capitol building whatsoever,” Baker explains.

However, their fatal flaw was going inside the Capitol peacefully.

“She actually decided to deliver her prepared remarks there in the Rotunda. She climbed up on the Eisenhower statue, with John standing guard beside her, she delivered her remarks there in the great Rotunda of the Capitol, and then they peacefully left, just as so many other hundreds and thousands of people did,” Baker says.

Both Strand and Gold were “handed that infamous 1512 obstruction of an official proceeding felony.”

The felony carried up to 20 years of imprisonment.

Gold ended up taking a plea deal and pled down to a single misdemeanor. Judge Christopher Cooper sentenced her to 60 days in prison.

“John Strand decided he was not going to take this lying down, that he was going to be a warrior, and he, despite the odds being horribly stacked against him, he was going to go to trial and he did that,” Baker explains.

He was convicted on all counts, and he was sentenced to 32 months in prison.

“Now what’s happening is that because of the Supreme Court’s overturning the 1512 obstruction of an official proceeding charge against 355 defendants, him being one of those,” Baker says, “they’re shortening their sentences or letting them go.”

If they haven’t gone to trial yet, they’re not charging them with it.

“It’s especially a good sign because the Department of Justice has already announced that they want to figure out how to continue with that charge,” Baker explains. “But the point being, is it appears that the judges are pushing back against the DOJ.”

“We’ll take this as a good sign,” he adds.

Boeing won’t stop until a judge makes it stop by rejecting a DOJ plea deal and calling for a criminal trial.

Alex Jones’ Infowars to be shut down and liquidated to pay Sandy Hook victims’ families



In yet another attack on freedom of speech, a court-appointed trustee in Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings has disclosed plans to effectively shut down Jones’ media platform, Infowars, and liquidate its inventory to pay some of the $1.5 billion he owes to the Sandy Hook victims’ families.

This news comes in the wake of the recent verdict that Jones’ personal assets would be liquidated to contribute toward paying the astronomical judgment for spreading “misinformation.”

Today he joins Glenn Beck to share his side of the story.

The END of Infowars: What's Next? | Glenn Beck INTERVIEWS Alex Jonesyoutu.be

“This is very historic,” says Jones. “The quote ‘families’ who are represented by high-power Democrat Party law firms, the same ones suing Elon Musk right now for defamation … went on CNN last week and said, ‘We do not want money. We want [Infowars] immediately closed.”’

“They don't want to sell the millions of dollars of inventory – books, films, T-shirts, supplements, water filters. They don't want anything; they want it immediately shut down, and they said ‘because we want to stop his speech,’” he tells Glenn. “It’s just outrageous how transparent this is.”

Jones recalls when two years ago, two judges, one from Texas, the other from Connecticut, found him liable for “failure to give any discovery.” However, Jones swears he “gave them everything,” but “there was just no evidence of what they said [he] did,” so he was declared “guilty in default.”

“I was not allowed to put on defense; I was not allowed to respond,” says Jones, adding that his lawyers “weren't allowed to [defend him].”

Jones says he agreed to an “orderly liquidation,” so that “the stuff actually gets sold off,” which might allow him to give his employees some severance.

However, “they immediately ran to the same judge that found me guilty without a jury trial in Texas and just in a summary hearing [with] no evidence said, ‘Seize all the assets,”’ Jones tells Glenn. “So now the federal trustee is in a fight with them trying to block them today, grabbing the bank accounts and having the sheriff’s department … come and lock the doors.”

When Jones informed the public of the situation, the media, once again, deemed him “a conspiracy theorist.”

“They've admitted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, CNN – everywhere – that they're going to use this precedent against me in lawfare,” he says.

“I'm guilty of plenty of stuff, I made plenty of mistakes, but I did not say 99% of what they said I said, but I couldn't defend myself,” Jones admits, adding that he did say the shooting was “totally staged” but “never sent anybody to [the families’] houses” and “never peed on graves.”

According to Jones, after “the media [created] this illusion” that he was guilty of a long list of atrocities, they made it impossible for him to respond.

“Every nightly news channel” and “hundreds of publications” were “saying things I never said, [but] I was unable to respond, so that's what's so scary about the situation,” he says.

Judge Merchan says Facebook commenter posted, 'My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted'



Judge Juan Merchan has indicated that in a Facebook comment someone wrote, "My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted."

The jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial — the verdict was handed down on May 30.

'Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!'

"Dear Counsel: Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System's public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention," Merchan wrote.

"My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted," the comment from "Michael Anderson" said, according to Merchan's note. "Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!" the comment read.

"The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding," Merchan noted. "The posting, entitled 'The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at 10,' and the comment are both viewable at https://www.facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/."

The post on which Merchan said the comment had been left does not currently appear to be on the Facebook page he cited.

Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, is currently seeking to win the presidential election later this year.

Will Democrats SCARE the Supreme Court Out of Hearing Trump's Appeal?

Will Democrats SCARE the Supreme Court Out of Hearing Trump's Appeal?

Can the Democrats scare the Supreme Court out of hearing Trump’s appeal?



Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 counts in his New York hush-money trial — and Americans everywhere are horrified.

Not only because the former president may be going to prison, but the additional looming consequences could be game-changing.

“I think it also will be used as the excuse for Joe Biden not debating him. ‘I don’t debate a felon,’” Glenn Beck predicts, mocking Biden.

“They’re moving past this and they’re moving to the Supreme Court,” Glenn continues. “They are launching cannon balls at the ship, saying, ‘Don’t you dare get involved in this trial.’”

“They sent the message to Alito and Thomas and everybody else, ‘Back off, stay down,’” he explains.

“That’s the entire point of this process, in a nutshell, is intimidation. Telling them to back down, do not stand in our way,” Glenn’s chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, agrees.

“I’m glad you talk about this going to the Supreme Court. This is absolutely getting appealed,” Buttrill says. “But first he has to go to sentencing. Now, normally, in a sane world, I would say you know he’s only going to get probation, maybe at the very worst like house arrest.”

While the Democrats are doing everything they can to keep Trump out of the White House, their plan might be backfiring when it comes to their support.

“People who didn’t vote and don’t like Donald Trump, I’ve seen them yesterday give and commit to voting for him,” Glenn says, adding that however, “there is a chance this works out horribly.”

RFK Jr. accuses the Democratic Party of trying to defeat Trump 'in the courtroom rather than the ballot box'



Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that the Democratic Party is using the legal system as a weapon to try to prevent former President Donald Trump from winning the 2024 presidential election.

A jury found Trump guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial. The verdict, which was announced on Thursday, came in the middle of a presidential election cycle as Trump aims to defeat Democratic President Joe Biden.

'I'm challenging him on his record.'

"The Democratic Party's strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic. America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government's separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can't save democracy by destroying it first," Kennedy tweeted. "The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom."

"I'm also running against President Trump in this election. The difference is I'm challenging him on his record. His lockdowns during Covid. His atrocious environmental record. His cozy relationship with corporate America. His support for the war machine. His failure to root out waste and corruption in Washington. His service to the billionaire class. His bloating of the national debt. These are the issues that shape American lives," Kennedy continued. "I'll challenge him on these things, but the Democrats won't. You know why? Because they pursue the very same policies."

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has said she would be willing to serve as Trump's running mate, blasted Biden in a post on Thursday after the verdict had been announced.

"Biden: GUILTY of abuse of power. Biden: GUILTY of turning our country into a banana republic where those in power use the law to go after their political opponents. Biden: GUILTY of undermining our Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein. Biden has proven he is unfit for the office of the presidency," she tweeted.

Gabbard served in Congress as a Democrat but announced in 2022 that she was leaving the party.

Hogan pummeled on social media after calling people to 'respect the verdict' in Trump trial, 'regardless of the result'



Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who earlier this month won a Republican U.S. Senate primary in the state, urged Americans to "respect the verdict" in former President Donald Trump's case. Hogan's post appears to have been shared shortly before news broke that Trump had been found guilty on all counts by a jury in a New York criminal trial.

"Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law," Hogan said in the tweet.

'Today's verdict is a fire-bell in the night.'

In response to Hogan's post, GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah tweeted, "I don't respect this verdict. Nor should anyone."

— (@)

Eric Bolling tweeted, "Can you please do us ALL a favor and STHU. You fake news massive RINO!!"

"I hope you lose handily," Jeremy Frankel wrote in response to Hogan's post.

Tim Pool called Hogan "a disgrace."

But while many blasted Hogan, others, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, agreed with him. "By far the best Republican response i have seen. Respect for the system we all rely on, what a noble concept," Kinzinger wrote.

John Bolton — who wrote in former Vice President Dick Cheney in the 2020 presidential election and plans to do so again in 2024 — tweeted, "Today's verdict is a fire-bell in the night. The Republican Party now has one last chance to change course, and not nominate a convicted felon for President." Bolton served as assistant to the president for national security affairs during a portion of Trump's presidential tenure.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in a tweet, "America is a nation built upon the rule of law. The jury has spoken and carefully rendered a decision. Responsible leadership requires the verdict to be respected."

DeSantis and other conservatives react to Trump guilty verdict: 'Political debasement of the justice system'



A jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial, with the verdict coming in the midst of the 2024 presidential election cycle in which Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, is running to defeat Democratic President Joe Biden.

Conservatives have been sounding off on social media in response to the verdict.

"Red states need to respond by declaring themselves sanctuaries from blue state prosecutions. That if the state AG determines the charges are politically motivated, the state troopers would be prohibited from facilitating extradition," Blaze Media's Daniel Horowitz tweeted.

'I can't imagine a bigger, more impactful contribution to the Biden campaign.'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who dropped out of the GOP presidential primary and endorsed Trump after placing second in the Iowa caucuses in January, spoke of "political debasement of the justice system."

"Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to 'get' Donald Trump," he declared in a post on X.

"That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction," DeSantis noted. "In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court."

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia shared an upside down American flag in a post on X.

"Guilty on 34 counts, but no underlying crime. Partisan hacks serving as judges, investigators, and prosecutors have turned our legal system into a farce at both the state and federal level," GOP Sen. Thomas Massie of Kentucky tweeted.

"How long can our Republic survive once partisans have taken over the judicial process? This verdict will tragically undermine Americans' confidence in impartial justice. A sad day for America…" Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said in a post.

"I can't imagine a bigger, more impactful contribution to the Biden campaign," GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah tweeted. "Will the Biden campaign need to disclose the efforts of the New York prosecutors as an in-kind campaign contribution? If not, our campaign-finance laws seem somewhat pointless at this point."

"This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one," House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement. "The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong—and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict—and he WILL WIN!"

"They dismembered kids and murdered them. Now they are mutilating them. They opened our borders. They destroyed the middle class dream and replaced it with both spouses have to work until July 1 just to pay their tax debt, and then their kids have to get a bunch of college debt to learn unmarketable doctrines of demons. They mandated you ingest a toxic genetic serum to work. I could go on and on," Blaze Media's Steve Deace tweeted. "No, folks, we didn’t cross any Rubicons today. Rather, today is just another confirmation the Rubicon was long ago crossed. The hay is already out of the barn you’re trying to lock. We are way down the rabbit hole, Alice. Revival or bust."

Former Capitol cop Harry Dunn — subject of Blaze News Jan. 6 investigation — calls Trump 'greatest threat to our democracy'



Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn — a main subject of an ongoing Blaze News investigation uncovering the truth about January 6 — on Tuesday blasted former President Donald Trump as the "greatest threat to our democracy" during a news conference outside a Manhattan courthouse where Trump's controversial Stormy Daniels trial was being held.

Video shows Dunn saying the following:

The fight for a lot of us didn't end on January 6 that evening when we went home. The fight still continues now. What happened that day was an attempt to halt, to overthrow an election. Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy and the safety of communities across the country today. He has encouraged and continued to encourage political violence. We've been called traitors, just today. We were all called traitors on January 6 for doing our job. And yes, we protected Republicans, we protected Democrats alike. It's not about the story that we don't agree with. Political violence is never acceptable ... but you have a presidential candidate that champions it, that encourages it, that supports it. We cannot have that.

'The fact that Harry Dunn, Fanone, and the others are going to do a swing-state tour with Biden is just fodder for those of us who know the truth of what they really did happen on January 6.'

Dunn also said, “Americans need to wake up. This is not a drill,” the Associated Press reported.

The former cop — who also recently lost a bid for a U.S. House seat — added, “We can’t count on these institutions to stop Donald Trump. It’s going to take us Americans at the ballot box to defeat him once and for all," the AP said.

The news conference also featured anti-Trump barbs from left-wing actor Robert De Niro, who called Dunn and another former Capitol Police officer, Michael Fanone, "true heroes." A person standing close by called them "traitors" and said "they lied under oath." That set off De Niro, who clearly didn't know what the person was talking about. The actor finally admitted, "I don't know, I don't even know how to deal with you, my friend. I don't even know how to deal with you."

Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker has penned multiple analyses pushing back against Dunn's many claims about January 6, such as "January 6 and the N-word that wasn't," "Harry Dunn's account of January 6 does not add up. At all." and "Why did a powerful veterans' PAC endorse Harry Dunn, phony ‘hero’ of January 6?"

Baker offered Blaze News the following reaction to Tuesday's news conference:

The fact that Harry Dunn, Fanone, and the others are going to do a swing-state tour with Biden is just fodder for those of us who know the truth of what they really did happen on January 6. Watching this presser with De Niro when someone said, "They lied under oath" and "they're traitors," and De Niro replied, "I don't even know how to deal with you" — of course he doesn't know. He's unaware that we have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that some of those cops lied under oath, both in congressional and trial testimonies.
