Glenn Beck: NYT op-ed accidentally exposes the government’s theft
Buried in a recent New York Times op-ed on the government shutdown by Ezra Klein is a quiet confession by the elites — but not so quiet that Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck couldn’t hear it.
In the article, Klein argues that Republicans are incapable of accepting the reality that Obamacare health care subsidies are “working” — despite health care prices being through the roof.
“Why were the Democrats fighting so hard to neutralize their best issue in 2026?” Klein wrote in his op-ed. “The political logic of this shutdown fight was inverted. If Democrats got the tax credits extended, if they won, they’d be solving a huge electoral problem for the Republicans. If Republicans successfully allowed the tax credits to expire, if they won, they’d be handing the Democrats a cudgel, which would beat them in the next elections.”
“This is unbelievable. I mean, they’re saying it out loud,” Glenn comments. “You know what I mean?”
The article goes on to ask why Republicans “can’t accept reality” and that “health care subsidies are working.”
“No, they are not. They are propping, OK? They’re scaffolding, holding up a structure that was never sound. They were a COVID-era brace jammed under a tottering wall. And now the same architects who swore the house was, you know, the house was safe, they’re telling you now the splintered wood is actually part of the design,” Glenn says.
“This is the power the mainstream media has. The press still has over millions of Americans. It’s kind of like a hypnotic chokehold. You say the word subsidy enough times with the right sad piano music under it and suddenly forget what subsidies are,” he continues.
A subsidy, Glenn explains, is “money borrowed from the Chinese from the future to hide the failures of the present on decisions that were made in the past.”
“And now we’re told if we don’t just keep borrowing forever, America will collapse,” he says. “No, what collapses is this crazy illusion. Let’s be clear about something the op-ed never will admit. The Affordable Care Act didn’t fail because of Republicans. It failed because math is a stubborn thing.”
“You know, I’ve said this for months now. The greatest political opportunity of our lifetime now is health care reform. Real, actual reform,” he continues, adding, “Not another Washington quick fix. No more subsidies or anything else. Not a Band-Aid over a bullet wound.”

Christian soccer player slammed as ‘transphobic’ for defending women’s sports
When Christian soccer player Elizabeth Eddy wrote that only women should play in the National Women’s Soccer League, her teammates called her transphobic and racist — but all she did was explain that men and women are different.
The professional soccer player for Angel City FC had her op-ed published in the New York Post, where she wrote, “I’m concerned that without clarity about who the league is for, it will lose its identity and its momentum.”
Eddy proposed specific testing methods to verify players’ eligibility, asking the NWSL to adopt a clear standard, using the example that perhaps all players should be born with ovaries as a requirement.
Another option she pointed out was SRY gene tests, which are used in boxing to determine eligibility to compete among women.
The player also cited stats from the NIH, which show measurable differences between men and women when it comes to muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity, which directly affect competitive outcomes.
“It’s so stupid that we even have to say this,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments on “Relatable.”
“The production of testosterone is what makes the difference, not only in puberty but also in utero. So their bone density, their muscle mass, their aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Even if they go on cross-sex hormones, it is insurmountable. A woman just cannot overcome that,” Stuckey says.
“And so, she is speaking the scientific truth about this in an op-ed. Like, she didn’t even bring up any ideological argument. She brought up a scientific argument. She is a Christian. Christians are very clear on this,” she continues.
Despite her scientific argument, her teammates still went public to make sure everyone knew they vehemently disagreed.
“I really want to start off by saying that that article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I’ve had a lot of convos with my teammates in the past few days, and they are hurt, and they are harmed by the article. And also, they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article,” one teammate said during a press conference.
“It’s really important for me to say that. And we don’t agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well,” she continued, pointing out that the article calls for genetic testing and has a photo of an African player featured by the headline.
“That’s very harmful, and to me it’s inherently racist because to single out this community based on them looking or being different is absolutely a problem,” she added.
Stuckey is disturbed by the teammate’s reaction, saying, “I just cannot. Racist because they dared use a picture of a black woman.”
“This sister in Christ stood up for what is good, right, and true, and protection of women and girls, and she is getting blasted for it in the comments. She’s getting blasted from her own teammates. She’s being called things that are just not true,” Stuckey says.
“They are maligning her character because she spoke to what is biologically a fact,” she adds.

Glenn Beck warns: Government reliance is a ‘poisoned promise’
The government shutdown may be ending, but it revealed something very important about Americans as a whole — too many rely on the government to survive.
And that is a very dangerous situation to be in.
“Whenever a society gets into this situation, history will show us a poisoned promise begins,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains.
“The socialists always arrive making all kinds of poison promises,” he says. “And there is a pattern, and it is so ancient it could be scripture. … Every socialist experiment starts with the same smooth-tongue promise: ‘We are going to make life fair.’”
“Unfortunately for socialists, you know, history keeps impeccable books. The receipts are really, really damning. Fortunately for socialists, nobody ever reads history,” he continues.
These receipts that Glenn pulls out are in the form of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Fidel Castro in Cuba, and Adolf Hitler in Germany.
“This story of socialism is written in blood in ledger books all over the world,” Glenn says. “And it always starts with the promise of equity or equality. And it always leads to the rise of an elite who decides what equality means. And every time it fails, they say, ‘Well, that was just put in the hands of the wrong people.’”
“No, the key word here is not ‘wrong,’ it’s ‘people.’ People. The workers never get the factories. The peasants never receive the land. The poor never get any of the wealth. And it’s this story over and over and over again,” he continues.
“Socialism begins with a promise but always ends with a ruling class armed with absolute power,” he says, adding, “Only the names change.”

ESPN’s empire is crumbling — and Netflix and Amazon are ‘ready to pounce’
ESPN’s reign as the king of sports media may be nearing its end.
BlazeTV contributor Paul Burkhardt is among those who believe this to be true, explaining that the network is “very vulnerable” as competitors like Netflix and Amazon prepare to make a “power play” that could permanently reshape the sports broadcasting landscape.
“I don’t think a lot of people are realizing — and I’ve been on this and been studying this now for probably about a year and a half — I believe ESPN is very vulnerable right now,” Burkhardt tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock and the rest of the panel on “Fearless.”
“And it’s the worst time for this to happen, because I think Netflix and Amazon are in a position to make the ultimate power play over the next, say, two to five years. They’ve already started to dabble into the games. They already have the leagues with them to some varying degree,” he continues.
“I think there’s a takedown about ready to happen, and I’m in line to watch it,” he adds.
Burkhardt believes that “Netflix and Amazon are ready to pounce.”
“I think that ESPN could be drunk on its success. ESPN has always had an overinflated sense of itself, particularly the on-air talent, because ESPN had such a monopoly on sports coverage that anybody you put on there was going to have the feeling of having a following,” Whitlock agrees.
“I don’t think Stephen A. Smith has a sincere following. I think he’s been forced down our throats on ESPN, but no one thinks Stephen A. Smith is talented. No one thinks he’s that informed or that insightful about sports,” he continues.
“It’s kind of reflective of the whole mentality of Hollywood and the leftist deal. … If they decide this person’s important; if they want to put Joe Biden in as president even though he’s half dead; if they decide, ‘Hey, no one likes Hillary Clinton, but we’re going to run her for president,’” he adds.

Muscular Christianity: Debunking the manosphere’s lies
When women are told that the biggest issue they face is their self-esteem — not their sin — it doesn’t bring them closer to God or make them more likely to walk through the church doors on Sunday.
Instead, it leaves them feeling like they can find that kind of advice anywhere.
“Why would you go to church and sacrifice your free time if you’re going to hear the same message anywhere?” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey asks ex-Green Beret and Virginia delegate Nick Freitas, noting that they’re simply being told what “they want to hear.”
And women aren’t the only ones being fooled.
“Do you feel like that also might be happening among the Andrew Tate acolytes of the world who say, ‘Okay, in order to attract these young men, we have to not be like Jesus was. We have to be crass, and we have to be rude, and we have to be arrogant, and we have to be materialistic, and we have to be promiscuous, and we have to talk about women like they’re objects ’cause that’s real masculinity’?” she asks.
Freitas agrees, calling the approach symbolic of the “manosphere.”
“So, I think there’s two things that we have to recognize whenever we talk about what we might call the manosphere — Andrew Tate, Justin Waller, some of these other guys, Fresh and Fit. … The first thing that we need to recognize is the reason why they resonated so much with young men was not simply because all these guys have admirable accomplishments in their own right,” he explains.
“But they tend to be strong. They tend to be wealthy, and they tend to, you know, women tend to be attracted to them, right? So, these are all things that, if you’re a young man without a spiritual basis in your life, you’re looking at these things going, ‘I want that,’” he continues.
“The most important component, though, is a lot of young men felt like those guys were sticking up for them when nobody else would,” he says, noting that “men associate loyalty with love.”
“And so, a lot of young men look at guys like Andrew Tate, and they say, ‘That guy had my back when none of you people in the church were mentioning any of this. And now the first time you want to come up and talk about the problems with masculinity, you want to bash Andrew Tate, the one guy that had my back,’” he explains.
“And so, the way I think we need to approach something like that is certainly not by excusing what I believe is disastrous, sinful, and ultimately not genuinely masculine behavior, but I think we need to recognize the source of the problem and from whence it comes,” he adds.
Freitas also explains that the “masculinity” that the manosphere pushes is “hedonistic masculinity,” which says that “you should dominate for the sake of your own pleasure.”
“Essentially, your will to power is the highest moral standard that you can appeal to. That is not in line with Christianity at all,” he says, adding that in order to be in line with Christianity it would have to be “sacrificial in nature.”
“The thing that I would tell young men is, I can appreciate that Andrew Tate is fit, right? I can appreciate that the man can fight. … But if you really want something that’s going to give you ultimate meaning and purpose, … you get that when you recognize that there is a God,” he explains.
“He has a meaning and purpose for your life,” he continues, adding, “and he requires you to be strong because it is a difficult world.”

Sara Gonzales EXPOSED Texas all-ages drag shows — and now they’re against the law
Vice President of Texas Family Project and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales helped craft a law years ago that is finally being upheld in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals — and it’s a really, really good one.
The law prevents drag queens and all adults from performing sexually in front of children.
“As I said, it has been tied up in the courts for years and we have been waiting for this moment. It is upheld. In the state of Texas, you cannot dance provocatively and sexually in front of young children,” Gonzales beams.
“Obviously, we worked very hard to expose these all-ages shows that were happening in the state of Texas. Those exposés, those videos, were instrumental in the fight to prevent this from happening. I worked directly with legislators to craft the language of this bill. So this is very, very personal for me,” she continues.
“And a lot of the things that we were talking about, I told them, ‘You would not believe me if I didn’t go to brunch and take video. So I’m going to do it and then I’m going to show you. And when you see it, you’re not going to be able to unsee it, and you’re going to have to pass a law about it.’ And that is what they did,” she adds.
Drag queens, or “pedophiles,” which Gonzales calls “kind of the same thing,” fought the law in the Texas courts for years.
“Here in Texas, where everyone thinks, ‘Oh, it’s so super red.’ No, actually, they had these all-ages events all over the place in Texas,” she says.
In one clip from an all-ages event, Gonzales asks a woman if she finds the show “age appropriate” for her children.
“Yeah … I’m not as conservative, but I mean, really it’s not any different than I mean Disney, and Disney, they have similar things, like it’s really not that far from it,” the woman replied.
The drag queens at this particular show were parading around with fake breasts and nipples out, sniffing and playing with their fake breasts, and asking the audience if they were “reaching for” her “titties.”
In another horrifying scene, two men were humping each other and simulating sex.
When Gonzales brought this up to another mother whose 12-year-old daughter was in attendance, the mother replied, “She goes to school. She sees simulated sex all the time.”
“Ma’am, what school are you taking your 12-year-old daughter to? I don’t think that’s in the curriculum. … It’s not appropriate for children,” Gonzales says, disgusted.
At a different all-ages event, older women were handing a child money to give to the dominatrix drag queens, before the drag queens gave away “unisex” sex toys for “all genders.”
“Isn’t that just the wholesome content that you think children should be exposed to?” Gonzales mocks.
But now it’s all over for the all-ages drag queen events.
“A lot of groomers when this bill was passed before it got tied up in the courts, they were like, ‘You know what? We’re just going to leave. We’re going to leave the state of Texas. We’re not even going to live here anymore,’” Gonzales recalls.
“You know what? Go. Please leave,” she adds.

Antifreeze ice cream and pesticide tea: Why it’s time to ditch processed foods
If you read the label on your favorite “healthy” food, the chances are high that you’re going to be extremely disappointed — and maybe even inspired to make a massive change.
And that’s exactly what happened when Christian homesteader Michelle Visser took a harder look at what she was putting in her body.
“I had been a junk food junkie my whole life, and I had been eating processed food my whole life,” Visser tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey.
“I started looking at the ingredients of the processed food, and I started realizing, well, instead of using this little pack of taco seasoning, I could make my own taco seasoning. And instead of buying this ice cream that has antifreeze as one of its ingredients, I could make my own ice cream,” Visser explains.
“What differences did you see in your own body and in the health of your family when you started making those changes?” Stuckey asks.
“So much more energy and just zest for life and a really good feeling about food that I had never had before,” she responds, telling Stuckey that the difference between opening up a cardboard box and making your own food from scratch is staggering.
“It just doesn’t give you the satisfaction and the creativity that real food can give you,” she says. “So I started feeling much better in that way. Just more energy, sleeping better, just really good overall.”
Stuckey points out that in many cases, removing processed foods from diets does alleviate a lot of chronic symptoms people may have had.
“It’s not just one quick fix, but you know, a lot of the things that people in America struggle with today, when it comes to our gut, when it comes to our skin, a lot of the things that start with our digestion, they can be alleviated, or helped a lot, by what we do in the kitchen,” Stuckey says.
And Visser has some shocking news for those who believe they’re being healthy by drinking tea every night.
“It turns out it’s one of the most heavily unregulated, yet heavily sprayed with pesticide food or drink that you can eat,” she tells Stuckey, explaining that even when the tea is “organic,” it may come in a toxic bleached bag.
“So maybe loose leaf tea is the way to go,” Stuckey says.
“That’s what I recommend,” Visser agrees.

Former NBA star Paul Pierce tells men to CHEAT on their girlfriends
Former NBA star Paul Pierce is handing out free advice from his podcast “The Truth After Dark” — but it’s advice only a fellow millionaire could take, not regular guys who listen to his podcast.
“If you really want to know if a girl love you, you need to go out and cheat on her,” Pierce said on “The Truth After Dark” podcast.
“Go cheat on her and see how she reacts. Now we going to see what’s real,” he added.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock and BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle are not impressed with the wisdom Pierce has chosen to impart to his audience.
“That’s just dumb. You know, I don’t know what his religious affiliation or his beliefs are, but the Bible tells us that love is kind. It doesn’t dishonor others. It’s not self-seeking. And it always protects. How are you protecting her heart, her mind, her spirit, just to go out here and cheat?” Michelle says.
“It’s crazy that his podcast is called ‘The Truth.’ Where’s the truth? There’s no truth in that. And Satan is the father of lies. It’s unfortunate that all of his sons and daughters have this access to the airwaves to just push foolishness,” she continues.
“This man said, intentionally, pretty much, is what he’s saying: Go out here to cheat,” she adds. “Why would you do that to her?”
Whitlock points out that while this strategy may work for Pierce, it will lead most men’s lives to ruin.
“Most men that would live the lifestyle that he’s talking about will be so plagued by women who hate them and stalk them and try to create chaos in their life. Women that have some sort of support check that they have because they’ve had a stray baby with this person,” Whitlock says.
“It’s just bad, bad advice,” he continues.
“You start thinking you’re your own god and you did all this, and so you start passing on your level of wisdom, and it’s, you know, an inch deep at best,” he adds.

Not a ‘feminist’: Allie Beth Stuckey defends speech condemning porn amid ‘conservative’ backlash
BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey’s Turning Point USA speech where she condemned pornography as “evil in every way” sparked a wave of attacks from men who claim to share her Christian and conservative values.
These men claimed that she was a “feminist” who should not be directly speaking to men. In fact, she was simply reciting a message that Charlie Kirk himself was very passionate about.
“There is a segment of males on the right, presumably the political right, who also profess to be Christians, who have been expressing their utter indignation that I gave a speech at a Turning Point USA campus stop and that in that speech, I talked about the dangers of pornography,” Stuckey explains on “Relatable.”
“I was called a feminist. I was called a bad mom, a negligent wife who was trying to act like a man. I was told that I should only talk to women or that I should not talk at all, that women have no place in the public square,” she continues.
Stuckey was asked by Kirk to join her on this campus tour before he was assassinated, so in order to honor him, her speech reflected the most controversial truths that he taught.
One of these truths is that porn has “weakened men,” which was the catalyst for all the outrage that followed.
“Charlie was so good at talking about this and so good at talking so courageously and sternly and clearly to the young men,” Stuckey said during her “controversial” speech, before explaining why it “is so detrimental not only to men” but also “objectifies women and children.”
“It commercializes sex, which is a gift from God for a married couple, between one man and one woman. And it glorifies violence. It creates addiction and shame. It destroys marriages. It ruins your perception of other people. It is the legal loophole for sex trafficking. It is evil in every way, and it will destroy your life,” she said.
“And this is what I would want to say to men, and I hope that you hear it from strong men in your life, that men, we need you. And we need your masculinity, and we need your strength, and we need your boldness, and we need your courage, and we need those things to be harnessed for good,” she continued.
“We need really strong men, and porn makes you weak,” she concluded.
Some “Christian conservative” men who heard this part of Allie’s speech took to X to mislabel her a “feminist” who should not be speaking to men.
“There is probably not another Christian woman in the conservative commentary space who has made more of an effort than I have to pull women away from progressivism, to try to change women’s minds and hearts when it comes to abortion, to try to change women’s minds and hearts when it comes to marriage,” Stuckey says in response.
“So, to say that I am a feminist who preaches to men really is just laughable. And it just goes to show you that people will just lie,” she adds.

The left’s vile rhetoric just keeps getting darker
Democrats are learning all the wrong lessons from where their vile rhetoric has gotten them — and Nancy Pelosi’s latest outburst is only the latest proof.
In a recent CNN interview, Pelosi called Donald Trump “a vile creature” and “the worst thing on the face of the earth,” before backing up her claim with virtually nothing.
“He’s just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth, but anyway,” Pelosi told the interviewer.
“You think he’s the worst thing on the face of the earth?” the interviewer asked.
“Yeah, I do, because he’s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States,” Pelosi replied.
“Really, Nancy? You couldn’t think of one single solitary thing that’s worse than a president who believes in things like freedom and liberty, and, you know, smaller government and lower taxes? That’s really the worst thing in the world to you?” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales responds on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“These people are so incredible in their myopic thinking. I really wonder how they’re going to cope when Donald Trump is out of politics,” she adds.
Pelosi’s assertion that Donald Trump is “the worst thing on the face of the earth” is the kind of rhetoric that has led many Democrats to speak similarly to any Republican voter or official, as is evidenced in one recent case out of Montana.
After voting for Trump’s big, beautiful bill, freshman Senator of Montana Tim Sheehy (R) received an alarming voicemail from Haley McKnight, a woman running for the Helena city commission.
“I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away health care for 17 million Americans. And I hope you’re really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can’t even treat you for it,” McKnight said in the warm, friendly voicemail.
“I hope that you die in the street like a dog. One day, you’re going to live to regret this. I hope that your children never forgive you. I hope that you are infertile. I hope you never manage to get a boner ever again. You are the worst piece of s**t I’ve ever, ever, ever had the misfortune of looking at, and you don’t serve Montanans. You serve your own private interests,” she continued.
“God forbid that you ever meet me on the streets, because I will make you regret it. F**k you. I hope you die,” she added, for good measure.
Apparently, McKnight doubled down when asked about the voicemail, calling it justifiable rage.
“Did she have this all mapped out on a piece of paper, or did she just fly in there blind?” Gonzales asks, shocked.
“This woman is running for office,” she adds.
