Live with Steve Baker: FBI Agent Gone Roque in Corey Mills Alleged "Stolen Valor"? AND MORE!

Steve Baker: (Grok generated) Steve Baker is an investigative journalist known for his work with Blaze Media, a conservative news outlet. Born on April 27, 1968, in Louisiana, he grew up in Shreveport and later settled in Raleigh, North Carolina. Baker has a background in music, performing as a trumpeter and vocalist for Bull City Syndicate, and has two children, Stormie and Duncan. He gained attention for his coverage of the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, during which he was present as a freelance journalist, later selling footage to outlets like The New York Times and HBO. In March 2024, he was arrested by the FBI and charged with four misdemeanor counts related to his actions at the Capitol, including trespassing and disorderly conduct. Baker pleaded guilty to these charges in November 2024 but expressed confidence in receiving a pardon from former President Donald Trump, who issued pardons to many January 6 defendants in January 2025. His arrest sparked debate, with supporters claiming it was an attack on press freedom, while critics pointed to his sympathetic statements toward the rioters as evidence of bias.

We made it!

Safe and sound, just a cool 10 1/2 hour drive. We broke it up over two days to get here. Going back is going to be a solid day.

A blast from the past

Laura Loomer confirmed that the video of her holding the drone is real. So I asked the obvious question as to how she could ever be trusted if barely 2 years ago, she was that susceptible to Russian propaganda.

Someone replied to me that they could easily find examples where I’ve done a 180 on issues. I asked which. Didn’t get an answer from that person, but a troll actually answered “Covid”. And provided a link to a YouTube video from March 27, 2020.

As the expression goes, you can’t have a reasonable conversation with someone whose sole purpose it is to misunderstand.

And the bad faith actors will always pretend to not understand a clear joke.

But the video is hilarious! I should thank them for reminding me of it, because I totally forgot about it.

Classic!

Mitch McConnell still MIA

It’s dereliction of duty at the individual level, and at the party level. Letting the Democrats score an easy win, and making it look like they are in fact looking out for the will of the people over the Republican Party itself, is a self own.

Where the heck is Mitch McConnell?

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

Quick update!

Had a bit of a rough evening yesterday from a gastroenterological perspective.

It turns out that eating nothing but celery (to which I have a mild food allergy), carrots, cucumber, peppers, and sprouts, in conjunction with a Celsius energy drink, and a cup of coffee, can activate one’s IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

For a bit, I legit thought I had gotten the poison lettuce from Buc-ees.

Thank goodness it passed (pun intended?)

Anyhow, enough with the TMI.

Chattanooga is beautiful. We had a fantastic birthday dinner by the water. Getting ready to set up shop at the 1776 Law Center and listen to some big brains spread information!

More updates to follow.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of July 31, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.

The Barnes Brief: Thursday, July 30, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The well worn wooden desk, the papers stacked, the lamp lit office, the window’s view to the outer worls, the chalkboard for inspiration, the books stacked, the deep leather chair, and a bottle of bourbon for the work’s end. A perfect office. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Hubris is the arrogance that just scrapes the stars as it falls fast and furious to the demise of its exhibitor.”

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, July 29, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Venetian arched bridge above, the old walls of the city surround, the bricklaid road ahead, the dance of light against the alley, as the shadow makes us bigger than ourselves. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from self-destruction.” Zeena Shreck.
