Vibe shift: No rap in the Top 40 for the first time since 1989
Kendrick Lamar’s song “Luther” has just dropped out of the Billboard Top 40, making it the first time in 35 years hip-hop is not represented on the coveted list of music.
And BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock could not be happier.
“I just want to praise Jesus for that miracle, I just want to thank God for making this happen, and I hope that hip-hop music, the current form of it, never reappears in the top 40. I think it’s an indication once again that there is a cultural shift, a vibe shift, going on in America,” Whitlock explains.
“Are we reading too much into it, or this an indication that the world is healing and people are coming out of the demonic cult of hip-hop music?” Whitlock asks his panel.
“It’s an excellent sign,” BlazeTV contributor Chad O. Jackson says.
“And I think it’s high time that something like this occurs,” he adds.
However, BlazeTV contributors Shemeka Michelle and Virgil Walker are admittedly “cynical” when it comes to it being a good sign.
“I’m happy to see that, you know, hip-hop is taking a nose dive, especially in its current iteration. You know, we grew up, Jason, in the ’80s and understood kind of the old school hip-hop, kind of the golden era of hip-hop. Then soon after that, the ‘90s came along, and we got gangster rap, and that became the new cool,” Walker says.
“If you didn’t have enough profane words in your content, if you didn’t have enough sexualizing of women in your content, you weren’t going to be a hit. And that’s only amplified over the course of the last 20 years since 2000,” he continues.
“I think it’s wonderful that for at least a moment, at least a minute, at least a point in time, we’re not going to be bombarded with that kind of crash chaos … but my thought process, kind of like Shemeka said, is that, you know, we’re gonna have to give this a few weeks or so to see if it doesn’t show up again,” he says.
“So I anticipate it’ll make a rise again,” he adds.

‘Horror story’: RFK Jr. reveals chilling organ harvesting scandal
A shocking revelation from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has exposed what he calls a “horror story” inside America’s organ donation system.
On a recent segment of Newsmax, RFK Jr. detailed a case in which a woman allegedly awoke while her organs were being harvested and did not live to tell the tale.
“It’s a horror story, and part of it is because of the capture of the agency that was regulating ORR, had a — the board that was actually regulating organ harvesting was overlapping with the contractor that was actually harvesting the organs,” he began.
“I had one instance where a family was waiting at the hospital for the body of their deceased relative. The relative was brought to one of these private organ harvesting centers, awoke while they were harvesting her organs, and then was brought back to the hospital … where she died eventually,” he continued.
“But the family, you know, brought litigation, and that’s the only reason that we learned of this story. We’ve done a complete investigation of that company. We’ve taken the contract away from that company, and we’re reorganizing it so that we will be regulating it and running it directly at HHS and this will never happen again,” he added.
BlazeTV host Pat Gray is astonished.
“That is bizarre. And they did a thorough investigation. Turns out it’s true?” Gray says. “That’s weird.”

‘Franken-wheat’: The real reason Americans can’t eat bread anymore
Across the country, Americans have begun realizing they have a gluten sensitivity — but other countries don’t have the same issue. And according to Christian homesteader Michelle Visser, it’s not the fault of bread, but rather, how it’s made in America.
“Talking about other countries, back when we were adding into our flour and enriching it, other countries didn’t do that. In fact, in Italy, they had a pellagra outbreak around the same time that we were dealing with it here, but they responded completely different in little towns in Italy,” Visser tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey.
“They literally built communal ovens, bread ovens, and they encouraged them to use good grains, which had not gone through the green revolution of our country … and make whole wheat bread,” she explains.
“They knew that it was related to folate, and they knew it was dietary, and they said, ‘What can we do? We have in these small towns a lot of poor people who can’t necessarily afford good food. So one thing is, let’s at least give them the equipment to make the bread,’” she continues.
And the result of this, Visser explains, was wiping out pellagra — which was attributed to spoiled bread and polenta.
“So do you think gluten is unfairly demonized?” Stuckey asks.
“I think it is,” Visser says, using Norman Borlaug, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, as an example of being focused on the wrong issue when it comes to gluten.
“He had figured out how to manipulate wheat to give it a higher yield and to just simply grow more wheat for your buck. And while there’s definite advantages to understanding plant science, unfortunately, every time that we genetically change or we breed certain characteristics into any of our food, we are losing some nutrition,” she tells Stuckey.
“When they started milling it with the steel mills, they went from 20 barrels of flour a day to 500 barrels of flour a day with no extra energy, no extra expense. So there’s definitely money involved in the whole story is what I’m saying,” she explains.
“This bread that has been stripped of the good stuff, inserted with the synthetic stuff, that is maybe what’s causing the problems, especially in America,” Stuckey comments, surprised.
“Yeah,” Vasser confirms, noting that we’ve also added more protein into modern-day wheat, which has created a “franken-wheat.”
And then on top of what already is “franken-wheat,” wheat manufacturers have begun using pesticides and herbicides.
“If you are not buying organic flour, glyphosate is in trace amounts in your flour. It’s just, it’s there … if we are exposing our gut to glyphosate, we are killing the good bacteria. We’ve had gut problems in this country for many decades … and I think a lot of it has to do with this glyphosate in our flour.”

AUTOPEN REPORT: This could undo Joe Biden’s presidency
The House Oversight Committee has released its report on Biden’s autopen use as a cover-up of the former president’s mental decline — and while it’s not good, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t surprised.
“As you probably already guessed, because you have eyeballs and a working brain, there was a coordinated cover-up of his deterioration from the public … but more importantly, the senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself,” Gonzales says.
“And now that they’ve found all of this out through their report, they consider that any action that was signed with autopen is null and void if it is discovered that Joe Biden did not know about it, which, of course, is the right call,” she continues.
While hundreds of actions were signed with autopen, the question remains as to which ones he knew about.
“I mean, we had all of these pardons, all of these pre-emptive pardons on the way out the door in the 11th hour. … President Autopen was like, ‘Just to be sure, I’m going to sign pardons for all of my family and for Dr. Fauci and Mark Milley and the January 6th fake committee members, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Jamie Raskin,’” Gonzales mocks.
BlazeTV contributor Breanna Morello points out that the “first big red flag” regarding the autopen scandal was Joe Biden allegedly giving “clemency to a convicted pedophile” who had “thousands of child pornographic images on his devices” and was a “Chinese national.”
“And then the media covered for it. They didn’t actually cover that story … I think I was the only reporter talking about it initially, and then everyone else caught wind of it afterwards,” Morello says.
“So it’s not surprising. I couldn’t imagine why any president would have wanted their legacy to be freeing a convicted pedophile with over 42,000 child pornographic images on their devices. … And the fact that he pardoned the whole J6 committee when they pretend everything was legitimate tells you everything you need to know about all this,” she adds.

Don Lemon comes out as transphobic; says Megyn Kelly is ‘clockable’ as ‘trans’
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon’s new “Clip Farmers” podcast is off to a rocky start after he and his co-hosts were discussing the appearance of “MAGA women” — and Lemon took it a step too far.
As his Gen Z co-hosts were saying all MAGA women look the same, they also asked Lemon if Megyn Kelly was “chopped,” which they explain as meaning “not hot.”
“Yeah, she’s chopped,” Lemon replied, before adding, “I think she looks trans.”
“Let’s end on that note,” one of his co-hosts said in between nervous laughs.
But he couldn’t end it fast enough before Lemon added, “Looks clockable,” which means he thinks Kelly is not convincing as a woman — and thus would be easy to identify as transgender.
He went on to call her too skinny and said she wears too much makeup.
Now Lemon is in trouble with his base, as being “transphobic” is a direct assault on leftist values — and he used “trans” in a derogatory way despite speaking out numerous times about “transphobia.”
“So it’s OK for Don Lemon to use the word ‘trans’ as a derogatory statement about a woman? Oh, that’s interesting. I thought that was a lovely thing to be trans,” executive producer of “Pat Gray Unleashed” Keith Malinak says.
“This woman looks trans?” Pat Gray chimes in, shocked. “In what universe?”

Woke Dallas pastor claims abortion PREVENTS abortion
Texas pastor Dwight McKissic took to X to shockingly credit Democrats with lowering abortion rates — and suggested that God is concerned with protecting “the whole of life,” not just birth.
“God can hit a straight lick with a crooked stick. The Democrats have actually reduced abortions more so than Republicans. In the sovereignty of God he is revealing to us, his ways are above our ways. Democracy [sic] who are pro-life understand that voting for Donald Trump was not going to save one baby,” McKissic wrote in a post on X.
“Abortions have decreased when Democrats were in office, and increased when Republican presidents were/are in office. God is demonstrating to us, he is concerned about the whole of life … not just pro-birth, but all aspects of life. God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform,” he added.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not buying it.
“This is a Democratic operative who calls himself a religious leader, who calls himself a Christian,” Whitlock says.
“He’s co-signed and said, ‘Hey look, you know, even when we’re putting Planned Parenthoods everywhere, even when we’re putting abortion trucks outside the Democrat National Convention, hey, this is all working in conjunction with God. And the more babies we kill, the actual less babies die,’” he continues.
“What Dwight McKissic is saying is actually reminiscent of what his contingent has been saying for a very long time,” BlazeTV contributor Chad Jackson says.
“I remember when Roland Martin said something similar. … He said that, ‘Well, Democrats are actually more pro-life than Republicans because we actually care about the entire life, the whole life. If you’re so pro-life, then why aren’t you supporting things like, you know, universal basic income?’” he adds.
“And so, what he’s saying is that the only life worth living, if you are an unborn child coming into the world, is a life that is basically socialist in nature,” he continues.
“And so, the fact of the matter is, Dwight McKissic is somebody who calls himself a pastor, but he has traded in his role as a pastor behind the pulpit for advancing a political agenda more so than advancing the kingdom of God. And it’s quite troubling because you see the same thing happening in many so-called black pulpits across this country and, I mean, they’re leading people straight to hell,” he says.

Your body isn’t God: Jen Hatmaker’s New Age lies exposed
Jen Hatmaker’s new book, “Awake,” dives into the tragic breakdown of her marriage — but what BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey finds even more tragic is that it covers the disintegration of her Christianity.
“She has now decided to worship the god of self rather than the God of Scripture. And that is not freedom. That’s not fulfillment. That’s not satisfaction. That will lead to a dead end, but she has exchanged Christianity for these New Age beliefs that, of course, Oprah herself has represented for a very long time,” Stuckey says on “Relatable.”
Hatmaker asserted in her book that her body holds infinite wisdom, explaining that women especially “contain a deep wisdom that not only leads us well but could heal the earth.”
“When my internalized misogyny asserts its conditioned response to defend abusive systems, my body overrides it immediately. She knows. She tells me the truth. She always tells me the truth,” Hatmaker said.
Stuckey points out the absurdity of the idea that a woman’s body is always telling the truth.
“Sometimes my body, my hormones, my hunger, my lack of sleep, the million things that go on in the world that affect our bodies tell us things that are not true. … They give us cues that don’t actually point us in the right direction,” Stuckey says.
“Our body is not a source of truth. Our bodies are made in the image of God, but they are not like God. Now, gosh, what did the serpent say to Eve in the Garden of Eden? ‘You can be like God. … You will not surely die if you take a bite of the fruit of this tree which the God who created you and loves you strictly forbade you from eating,’” she continues.
“Jen Hatmaker has taken a bite of the apple, and she believes that her body is like God, has this kind of gnostic, transcendent knowledge,” she adds.
Hatmaker goes on to say, “Our life’s work is to reject those capitalistic, patriarchal narrative systems that have conspired to keep us at war with our bodies.”
“If we hate how we look, these systems own us. If we hate what we want, they dominate us. If we hate what we crave, they control us. They get to master us with impunity when we despise ourselves; we do their dirty work and, in so doing, become their most powerful co-conspirators,” she writes.
While Stuckey notes that Hatmaker “sounds really eloquent” and “catchy” because the “pacing is right and the cadence is right,” but it doesn’t actually mean anything.
“That’s actually the hallmark of really good propaganda, of effective propaganda,” Stuckey says, noting that Hatmaker has also been 100% supportive of transgenderism, even in children.
“She’s been outspoken about this: ‘Protect trans kids.’ People who are mutilating their bodies through hormone blockers, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones and double mastectomies — that is literally bloody war with your body,” Stuckey says.
“So, she doesn’t even agree with what she’s saying,” she adds.

Mississippi marked safe from disease-ridden monkey escapees
Disaster nearly struck eastern Mississippi on Tuesday, Oct. 28, when a truck hauling lab monkeys from Tulane University crashed, with several of the animals fleeing the vehicle.
While all but one of the escaped monkeys were “destroyed” — according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department — the monkeys were “aggressive to humans” and potentially carried “hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID-19.”
However, Tulane University has now set people’s minds at ease and claimed that the escaped primates would not be the cause of the next pandemic.
“Non-human primates at the Tulane National Biomedical Research Center are provided to other research organizations to advance scientific discovery,” Tulane University said in a statement. “The primates in question belong to another entity and are not infectious. We are actively collaborating with local authorities and will send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed.”
“I wasn’t aware that they transported monkeys this way,” BlazeTV co-host 1/4 Black Garrett says on “Normal World,” adding, “let alone with herpes and COVID.”
“Here’s what I love, though,” BlazeTV host Dave Landau chimes in. “They say ‘potentially diseased’ even though they have the three diseases and they’re coming from New Orleans.”
“You have, like, herpes, hepatitis C, and COVID-19. They always try to jam it in there like it’s just as bad. It sounds like you’re trying to tell a girl what you have,” Landau laughs. “You’re like, ‘Look, you might want to get tested for hep C. You know, maybe some herpes and, you know, COVID-19.’”

Liz Wheeler: It’s Cuomo — not Curtis Sliwa — who should drop out of NYC mayoral race
There have been calls from both sides of the aisle for NYC Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the race, as he continues to lag far behind front-runner Zohran Mamdani.
While the argument from many is that Curtis Sliwa’s base would then vote for Andrew Cuomo — who they view as the lesser of two evils — BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler doesn’t think they’re right.
“While on paper, Andrew Cuomo is clearly less of a radical than Zohran Mamdani, might seem like he’s the lesser of two evils, that’s actually just hypothetical because Zohran Mamdani, even though he verbalizes these extremely radical, dangerous, anti-American viewpoints, he hasn’t been terribly effective in doing any of that stuff,” Wheeler explains.
“He just says it, and he has a large platform, and words matter. But his policies haven’t yet hurt people. But Andrew Cuomo’s have,” she continues, noting that Cuomo “presided over the tyrannical disaster of COVID in New York City.”
“Over 10,000 senior citizens in New York City were essentially sent to their deaths by then-Governor Andrew Cuomo because he forced them to go back to nursing homes, and they died of COVID there,” she says.
“And his record, Andrew Cuomo’s record, even if his words are less radical than Zohran’s, is Andrew Cuomo’s record not more deadly? And so, when I hear this argument coming from some people on the right that Curtis Sliwa should drop out, I’m like, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You’re thinking about this all wrong.’”
Wheeler believes Andrew Cuomo should drop out, not Curtis Sliwa.
“Andrew Cuomo’s voters obviously reject Zohran Mamdani. That’s why they’re choosing the independent Andrew Cuomo over the Democrat Zohran,” Wheeler says. “So, if Andrew Cuomo drops out, would his voters not migrate to Curtis Sliwa?”

Texas school kept predator coach on staff after abuse allegations, suit claims
A shocking new lawsuit claims Celina ISD in Texas covered up allegations that its middle school football coach Caleb Elliot was a sexual predator — before he got the job as a middle school football coach.
Elliot is alleged to have been moved to the middle school after an “improper” relationship with a high school senior, instead of being fired and labeled as a predator.
The lawsuit also alleges that Elliot was caught during the 2024–2025 school year placing cameras in the Moore Middle School locker room and captured the teenage boys as they undressed — which resulted in the coach being banned from the locker room.
In defense of himself, Elliot claimed that “he did not know it was illegal and was trying to deter theft.”
“Now obviously, we know that’s not the case because again, predator is going to predator. Obviously, this child predator was only enabled and emboldened by this district. And he decided to just get more brazen with his exploitation,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, disgusted.
“Should have been fired but once again was not. He still was not fired. Instead, Celina ISD continued to harbor a child predator, because football, man,” Gonzales continues, noting that Elliot was a very successful coach’s son.
“It is unfathomable and unconscionable that this district would have covered up multiple instances of sexual exploitation of children because of football, because they wanted to win games, because they wanted to be the state champs,” she adds.
After Elliot’s cameras and footage were discovered, he was banned from the locker rooms.
“You’re going to be shocked to hear this, as a child predator would do. Caleb ignored the rule. And since the rule was never communicated, allegedly, according to the lawsuit, the rule was never communicated to the eighth grade team, they didn’t know that Caleb wasn’t supposed to go in there,” Gonzales explains.
“He just started entering the locker room after the coaches had left and returned to their offices,” she adds, noting that it gets even more disturbing.
“I’m going to read this directly from the lawsuit,” Gonzales says. “‘Beginning in September, the boys noticed Elliot standing around the locker room and staring as they undressed and showered, often holding his cell phone with the camera pointed toward the students.’”
“Plaintiffs allege that Elliot took one of the boys’ backpacks and said that he had to quote ‘do jumping jacks fully nude,’ end quote, to get it back. ‘The boy complied while Elliot watched the child’s penis,’ end quote,” Gonzales reads.
“I would probably be in jail if anyone had engaged in this sort of conduct with my son,” she says.
“These are young boys who have been traumatized, who’ve been exploited in their most vulnerable time by a sick ass pervert freak,” she adds.
