Steve Baker on Tucker Carlson

The Jan. 6 pipe bomber apparently was wearing an Apple Watch, and engaging with it during the bomb planting itinerary.

Apparently, Brian Cole Jr. does not own an Apple Watch, and has never owned an Apple Watch.

Operating on the basis that this was likely an inside job, as per Bongino’s sources at the time, who else on the Capitol police had an Apple Watch?

This adds a new level of relevance to the fact that Capitol police phones were not subject to searches and verifications in the dragnet Jan. 6 persecution.

Link to the interview. Give it a watch :-) https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/2072478348899762441?s=46

The Barnes Brief: July 4th weekend, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • They raise the flag of liberty, replacing the image of the King, but the painting speaks more than just that celebration of the Revolution. A mother holds up\ her child. Women dance. Young and old alike volunteer. but look a bit closer, and you see the true source of the revolution: as the aristocrats walk away, the commoiners lift the flag of liberty. The founding Fathers weren’t just a few folks writing documents; it was the ordinary people taking dramatic action, peopling the volunteer army, sacricing for boycotts, smuggling information and goods across enemy lines, voicing their independence in taverns and community halls, taking their freedom into their hands for themselves and their posterity, the true founders of America. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • "If all else fails, I will retreat up the Valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." George Washington.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Note: Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day

  • The blue heron showed up outside my rental home here in upstate New York, my totem according to some native tribal traditions. The totem represents your spirit animal, your analogue in the animal world. A few common tidbits of this totem as “heron medicine” — know yourself to uncover your gifts and discover your limits; follow your intuition; embrace self-reliance and feel free to be your own, unafraid of the challenges that come to the nonconformist; be a place for unique wisdom, expressing the best of that most American spirit — independence.

B. Wisdom of the Day

  • “You can’t kill your way out of every security concern.” J.D. Vance
