Racial double standard? White QB under fire for snubbing female reporter
ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge went viral this past December when she had to press Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to answer her postgame questions — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is impressed with her refusal to give up.
Herbert initially brushed off the reporter when she approached him, saying, “I’m trying to celebrate with my team.”
Rutledge wouldn’t take no for an answer and pressed him further, eventually pulling some answers out of the quarterback.
“Steve, I know you’ve covered a lot of sporting events. Have you ever seen that level of rudeness directed at a reporter? I just, that was incredible. She deserves a Purple Heart,” Whitlock asks BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim on “Fearless.”
“I have a question for those who were coming out and piling on Justin Herbert, who probably played the most physically taxing game I’ve seen any quarterback [play] this year. He’s probably banged up. He’s probably drugged up with all the pharmaceuticals, right, to get him out there,” Kim says.
“If that was a black quarterback, would those people dare have the same type of words for Justin Herbert like they would, let’s say its Lamar Jackson, and I’m just using him in this example,” he continues.
“I think Justin Herbert, being a white quarterback, it takes off some of the restrictions in terms of criticizing that particular athlete. I believe that Justin Herbert was banged up. He really doesn’t feel like talking, but at the end he said, ‘You know what? This is my job, I did it,’” he adds.
Whitlock sees both sides.
“I don’t blame her for not following protocol; as a reporter, that’s not what you do. Overtime game, it’s decided late, there’s an interception, and then you just go into scramble mode, and you just do what’s necessary to get the job done,” Whitlock chimes in.

Tim Walz ‘blames everybody but himself’ for Somali fraud — especially ‘right-wing conspiracy theorists’
Less than four months after announcing his re-election campaign, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has had a major change of heart.
“This is really, really sad news that Tampon Tim Walz announced this morning that he is dropping out of the 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial race,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“Tim Walz is out. He’s out in 2026. And he actually is out in large part due to Nick Shirley, a YouTuber who exposed a rampant Somalian fraud that is happening in Minnesota. And I don’t want to call him a random YouTuber guy to discredit him,” she continues.
“He heard about the fraud that was happening in Minnesota. He went out there. He had a guy that gave him all of this research of all of the fraudulent day care centers that are stealing millions of taxpayer dollars,” she says.
In videos posted to YouTube and social media, Shirley knocks on the doors of these Somali day cares and asks if he can speak to someone about his son potentially attending. Each time, he’s either shooed away or told that his son cannot attend the empty day care.
“So Tim Walz has some explaining to do. And instead of that, in his announcement, he blames everybody but himself actually. He said, ‘We’ve got conspiracy theorist right-wing YouTubers breaking into day care centers … and demanding access to our children,’” Gonzales comments, shocked.
Walz went on to claim that President Trump is demonizing “our Somali neighbors” and “wrongly confiscating childcare funding that Minnesotans rely on.”
“I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all. Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences,” Walz added.
“So he’s actually saying, ‘No, no, no, no, no. It’s your fault. And actually, the criminals are the victims,’ is what Tim Walz is saying,” Gonzales says.
“I would highly encourage people to continue finding all of this fraud that is happening and connecting all of the dots because I feel like it’s a pretty good bet that it can all be connected to Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz,” she continues, adding, “And by the way, Tim Walz should have been gone a long time ago.”

Why the Somali day-care journalist fears arrest in the UK
Journalist Nick Shirley’s name is on the tip of everyone’s tongues after his massive exposé of Somalian day-care fraud plaguing the taxpayers of Minnesota under Tim Walz’s watch — but that’s not the only event he’s covered.
“I’ve spent a lot of time in London,” Shirley tells BlazeTV host John Doyle at AmFest.
“I’ve been to a few of the marches that have been held there. I originally went there just to see what was happening cause I’ve heard of illegal immigration — or mass migration, not even illegal, because a lot of their immigration is legal — but how mass migration has shifted London,” he explains.
“Do you have to worry at all while you’re over there getting that kind of content that, like, the police are going to arrest you for hate speech or something?” Doyle asks.
“Yeah, that’s the thing that’s interesting about being in London. You don’t have to worry about being attacked per se. You have to worry about being arrested for the videos you make inside of London. So, I always film, and then I post them once I get out of London,” Shirley says.
And recently, Shirley has been impressed with the amount of people who have been taking to the streets to protest censorship or mass migration.
“They had, like, over a million people out in the streets of London. That was pretty incredible just to see how many people are actually very, not as much interested, but more so impacted by what’s happening in their country that a million people came out to support,” he explains.
This protest in particular was about both free speech and mass migration.
“Were people more or less happy to see an American over there in support of them?” Doyle asks.
“Very much so, because they say that if it wasn’t for Donald Trump, who knows what would happen with the West,” Shirley says.
“They feel a lot more safe, and they feel like their country is going to be in a lot better position,” he continues, “because Trump does stand for Western values, and he doesn’t want to see these other countries get diminished.”

Glenn Beck: Why Trump’s capture of Maduro IS ‘America First’
President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has shocked the world, but Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes that Trump’s true motive is much bigger than the speculation surrounding it.
“I want to give you a completely, I think, different perspective on what happened in Venezuela. Let me just say this: It is not about the oil. It’s not about drugs. It’s not about terrorism. It’s not about China. It’s not about communism, Marxism, or socialism,” Glenn says. “It’s about all of those things.”
“So, if anybody tells you that this is really all about the oil, just listen to them, because they might have a very good point on the oil thing, and go, ‘OK, well, that’s cute.’ But that’s not all it’s about,” he continues.
What Glenn believes Trump is really doing with this move is “playing to win.”
“And I mean win all of it. Never have I seen this before. Donald Trump has been saying, ‘America First,’ ‘America First’ his entire life. It hasn’t been a slogan. … It’s his worldview, and it always has been,” Glenn says.
“This is truly about who sets the table and the agenda for the next 100 years. Who’s it going to be? A global government, the Chinese government, AI, some technocratic government, or the American government?” he continues, pointing out that Trump’s latest move is making it much more likely that the ruler will be the last on that list.
“We’re going to look back at this time, assuming that it works, and we’re going to say, ‘That was brilliant.’ Do you know that because of Venezuela, we don’t need the oil? I’m going to get into this here in a second. We don’t need the oil,” Glenn says.
“Do you know that this is the first time since FDR that the world’s resources are now back under American, not control, but in friendly territory, that we’re the ones that dominate not just our oil but the resources?” he continues.
“It wasn’t like that two years ago. A year ago, it wasn’t like that,” he adds.

Will Trump’s unconventional plan to stop the UN climate elites work?
When President Trump boycotted the U.N. climate summit, many Americans who aren’t buying the elites’ climate fearmongering were pleased, hopeful that Trump’s move might weaken the globalist plans.
But after the global elites appeared to use the president’s absence to push extreme climate policies, some are wondering if the president could have made a mistake.
“We’ve got Trump in the White House, and of course he actually boycotted the summit. We reached out to the State Department. They told us they deliberately chose not to send anybody. So there was no U.S. delegation for the first time in 30 years of these, and that made for a very interesting situation,” journalist Alex Newman tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.
“And you know, a lot of Americans thought that was great. Hooray. And a lot of the climate skeptics also thought so. But some of the globalists at the U.N. conference also said, ‘Hey, this is a great opportunity, because the United States is still involved in the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, but they’re not here to obstruct passage of an ambitious deal,’” Newman explains.
“‘So let’s do some great stuff, and then when Trump is gone in three and a half years, we’ll impose that on Americans,’” he adds.
And the agreement they passed without Trump’s presence included “mention of a carbon budget.”
“They claim that four-fifths of the CO2 that humans can be allowed to emit has already been emitted,” Newman tells Glenn.
“I think the strategy for these people, Glenn, is ‘Hey, we’ve got Trump for three and a half more years. Let’s just keep our heads down. We know that he doesn’t believe us. We know that the American people don’t believe us. So let’s just not talk about it too loudly,’” he adds.
“So was this a mistake by not showing up?” Glenn asks.
“I don’t know,” Newman answers. “I know some of the people down at the U.N. summit thought this was a good opportunity for them, but you know, Trump’s not done.”
“I’ve spoken with people at EPA; I’ve spoke with people at the State Department, who have said that they are seriously considering the possibility of withdrawing from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change,” he continues.
“We have to,” Glenn interjects.
“Yeah, that seems like a no-brainer. … In fact, before he went into the White House, he said one of the top priorities for the MAGA movement and the United States needs to be to decisively crush this climate hysteria hoax,” Newman says, adding, “So he’s really serious about it.”

The demographic CLIFF: The fertility CRISIS no one is ready for
America is approaching a civilizational breaking point as young men abandon the left to move right, while young women drift further left. This has left a massive gap that’s not only threatening the future of marriage and family formation, but even basic population replacement.
“This has come to a head to some degree. Now, I will say this, if you are a conservative young woman entering into marriage years, it is a good time to be you. … The market is very much in your favor,” BlazeTV host Steve Deace explains at AmFest.
“Countrywide, you’re unicorns,” he says, noting that despite their existence, “all these things eventually have to come to a head somewhere.”
“Someone is going to have to change, right?” he asks.
BlazeTV contributor Todd Erzen believes that there will need to be “incentivizations.”
“I just don’t think the mere biological cliff we are falling off, that realization is enough because that’s baked into the cake. That was the point all along. That is the dark success story of all of this,” Erzen says.
“I think there may ultimately need to be incentivizations that are kind of like a steroid that wake enough of the culture up to keep things going,” he continues.
However, “Steve Deace Show” executive producer Aaron McIntire disagrees.
“The bad news is, you look at countries like Japan, South Korea, they have faced the same sorts of demographic cliffs that we’re about to maybe go over. They have done all of these technocratic policies, you know, trying to actually animate, trying to just get people in the frame of mind of, ‘Hey, this is going to have a tax benefit for you. This is going to have some economic benefit for you if you have more children,’” McIntire says.
“They’re trying to encourage this, and it really hasn’t had much of a difference,” he says, adding, “So, I don’t think there’s any sort of technocratic solution that you can put in place.”

A supernatural encounter with Jesus saved his life — now he’s reaching a generation
Bryce Crawford is an evangelist whose supernatural encounter with Jesus not only stopped him from taking his own life, but has catapulted him into a position where he’s helping transform a generation.
“I became a Christian when I was 17. I had depression and anxiety for years. Grew up in a Christian environment, went to a Christian school, but I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus when I was 17. Stopped me from taking my life,” Crawford tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey at AmFest.
This happened in 2020, when Crawford had gone to Waffle House for his “death row meal” on Christmas Day.
“I went to Waffle House, and I was at this table. No one preached to me. No one shared the gospel with me. The total opposite happened actually. This grown man dumped his life issues on me, and he said, ‘I’m losing my wife. She’s divorcing me and taking my kids,’” he explains.
“And then he said, ‘There’s no growth in a relationship if the love isn’t mutual.’ And when he said that, time stopped. And I had learned about Jesus all my life. … And for the first time, I thought to myself, maybe I don’t know God loves me because I haven’t given myself a chance to love him back,” he says.
“And so I prayed a crazy prayer. I said, ‘Jesus, if you’re real, take away my anxiety and depression because this is the reason why I want to take my life,’ and I haven’t had that crippling anxiety or depression since that day. It’s been almost five years,” he continues.
This was what led Crawford to Christianity and ultimately where he is now — preaching the gospel.
“The Bible says we plant seeds and water seeds. It’s not my job to save anyone. It’s not your job to save anyone. And so I found listening and being intentional with people is the greatest tool of evangelism,” he says. “It’s not love-bombing. It’s just caring about people.”

Honor Charlie and put America first at the ballot box in 2026
As debates over America First, Islam’s compatibility with the West, and the future of the conservative movement continue to intensify, Jack Posobiec tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales that Republicans need to step up across the board.
“It’s America first,” Posobiec tells Gonzales. “It’s literally America first. … Any policy that America should have going forward should be a policy that says what is the best way forward in the best interest of the American people, right here, right now.”
And Posobiec explains that there’s one way to ensure Americans are put first — and the late Charlie Kirk knew it well.
“Charlie was totally committed to victory, and that obviously meant victory at the ballot box,” he tells Gonzales.
“We’re up against a lot of headwinds in 2026. And to put my analyst hat on, you know, if I were to sit here and say that everything’s hunky-dory and that we’re, you know, we’re wading into safe waters, I wouldn’t be a good sailor if I did that,” he says.
“I was in the Navy, and so, look, you’ve got to tell the captain that the ship is headed toward some rocky waters. And that’s just the truth of the matter,” he continues, pointing out that the Republican House is currently “hanging by a thread.”
“You see people resigning, you see people walking away, quitters, and that only reduces the majority from four to three to, it might even be two by the time we’re done with this conversation. That’s not a large majority,” he says.
“So, you’re defending all of that territory, and all they have to do is pick up a couple,” he adds.
And despite the left’s claims that President Trump is a dictator, he’s not even close — which means that the left does stand a chance.
“He is not Mussolini. He is not General Franco. He can’t just pass these edicts and they immediately become law. … And so, that’s why you need the Republicans in Congress to step up,” Posobiec tells Gonzales.
“You have a majority right now, Republicans, and it is incumbent upon you to use it while you have it,” he adds.

Glenn Beck sounds the alarm on Apple’s digital ID: ‘Control of absolutely everything’
Apple has introduced its own digital ID, which is connected to Apple Wallet — but Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is not thrilled to hear about the company’s latest advancement, calling it a “very bad idea.”
“Digital ID is the first thing. Then it includes your medical records. It includes all your health — everything. It will give you access to the hospitals or not access to the hospitals. It will allow you to buy things or not buy things,” Glenn explains.
“It’ll allow you to access online or not access online. It is control of absolutely everything. And that’s in the design, and they talk about it openly,” he adds.
After the tyranny displayed during COVID, Glenn is among those most skeptical of advancements like digital ID.
“Presenting the new Apple digital ID,” Glenn says sarcastically. “Now at the TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports all across the U.S., you can present your digital ID at TSA checkpoints and get right onto that plane.”
While Apple claims the digital ID is “not a replacement” for a physical passport, it does add an official government ID to a user’s Apple wallet.
“It does sort of sound appealing, doesn’t it? I mean, just speaking frankly for a moment,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere chimes in.
While Glenn agrees that it does “sound appealing,” he points out that the end result would be anything but.
“I have to tell you, when you start putting everything, all records, all passports — it is your one universal key, and it’s tied directly to online, where it’s tracking everything, everywhere you go, every dollar you spend,” he says. “This is just a very bad idea.”
“There’s a story … it’s called the book of Revelation. I mean, how much clearer do you have to be, where you can’t go anywhere, you can’t buy anything, unless you have the mark. I’m not saying Apple is coming up with the mark of the beast, but this is the technology that sure kind of fits it,” he adds.

Digital NECROMANCY? This new AI tech crossed a spiritual line.
AI company 2wai may have taken its latest commercial a bit too far — as it presents the idea that your loved ones could live forever, as AI avatars, of course.
In the commercial, a pregnant mother speaks to her passed loved one via the phone app, showing the avatar her stomach.
“Oh, honey, that’s wonderful,” the AI responds. “He’s listening. Put your hand on your tummy and hum to him. You used to love that.”
The deceased avatar is 2wai’s core product, a HoloAvatar — which is an AI rendition of a real person, brought to life by a large language model.
“The question on the table, based on what you just saw: ‘Is this idolatry or not?’” BlazeTV host Steve Deace asks BlazeTV contributor Todd Erzen on the “Steve Deace Show.”
“To quote Gandalf, ‘Run, you fools,’” Erzen responds. “This is grotesque idolatry. This is emotional pornography of the highest order.”
“I lost my mother three months before I got married. She never got to meet my four daughters. She was the finest human being I ever met. She was truly good. I would never dishonor her memory with this. I’m utterly disgusted by the perpetual childish neediness of grown-ups who would bow at this altar,” he continues.
“It is profoundly wicked and evil to normalize this in any way, shape, or form. May God have mercy on our souls, quite frankly,” he adds.
“Steve Deace Show” executive producer Aaron McIntire is on the same page as Erzen, telling Deace the product should be burned “with fire.”
“It’s possible that this might not be idolatry if we were all robots, but we’re not robots. Something like this is just not fit for human nature,” he adds.
