‘Don’t touch it’: Michelle Obama tells white folks to ‘get out of’ black women’s hair
Michelle Obama is making waves after claiming that black women have been trapped by the beauty standards of white people, which is why they straighten their hair.
The former first lady went on her rant during a live sit-down with Tracee Ellis Ross to discuss her new book, “The Look.”
“Let me explain something to white people,” Obama said. “Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So when we’re straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we’re trapped by the straightness.”
“That’s why so many of us can’t swim and we run away from the water … trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It is exhausting and it’s so expensive and it takes up so much time. Braids are for y’all so we can work harder and focus on the work,” she continued.
“Why do we need an act, an act of law, to tell white folks to get out of our hair? Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t,” she added.
BlazeTV host Pat Gray is not amused by Obama’s little rant.
“Can you imagine if this was a white person saying, ‘All right, let me talk down to black people. Let me explain something to you black people about reality.’ … You’re an instant racist if you say that. And you’re labeled as such the rest of your life,” he says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”
“There’s no escape from that. How is she immune to all of that?” he asks.
“Good lord,” executive producer Keith Malinak chimes in, adding, “She is insane.”

Cam Newton gets black fatigue after Grambling brawl — calls out black players and coaches
A massive brawl broke out at halftime between the players of Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman this past weekend — which resulted in over two dozen players being suspended.
Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman are both historically black colleges and universities that ex-NFL star Cam Newton explained on “4th&1 Podcast with Cam Newton” are now “set back” by the students’ and the coaches’ actions.
“We are already at a deficit with visibility, and we literally just had a civil war over a football game. What?” Newton began.
“No matter if you in the MEAC, the SWAC, the SIAC, the OVC, if you’re a representation of blackness and black culture, you should look at this and say to yourself, ‘This set us back,’” he continued.
Immediately following the brawl, Grambling State head coach Mickey Joseph said the school wasn’t going to tolerate “disrespect,” and the school is “going to meet disrespect with disrespect.” While he later apologized, Newton still wasn’t having it.
“It set us back. Just imagine if you had College Game Day and a melee broke out in halftime versus LSU in Alabama. Certain things just will not happen,” he said.
“I don’t care what somebody else did. It’s what you did in retaliation to that,” he added.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes Newton’s response is real “progress.”
“One of the things I have to acknowledge about all of these athletes moving into the media space, they’re now acting or moving towards acting like media members. And that means they find themselves having to criticize people who allegedly look like them or share their skin color,” Whitlock says.
“And so when it was just us journalists out here doing it, if you were white and you called out Mickey Joseph and this foolishness, oh, you’re being racist. If you were black, you’re an Uncle Tom and a coon, and the athletes used to feel this way and say these types of things,” he continues.
“Now that they’re in the media … they’re looking out like, ‘Hold on, man, there are people that allegedly look like me or share my skin complexion who are doing foolish things that have to be called out,’” he says, adding, “Hats off to Cam Newton for calling it out.”

Pat McAfee defies ESPN norms by hosting Trump — and executives can’t stop him
Like most major broadcast networks, ESPN isn’t known for being friendly to those with conservative beliefs.
But in honor of Veterans Day, Pat McAfee had President Donald Trump on his show to discuss the government shutdown, college football, and the NFL kickoff.
“I want you to picture McAfee calling Burke or Jimmy and saying, ‘Listen, White House just called,’ or ‘I have a contact there and they said I could have Trump on Veterans Day. Cool?’ And they said, ‘No.’ Can you imagine them telling him no?” BlazeTV contributor and former ESPN host Sage Steele tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock.
“Like that’s not happening. It’s impossible. And Pat knows that, and he did right. There’s just no way in hell that that happens that they tell Pat no about anything,” she continues, noting that McAfee has also been “vocal, critical, about this fight between ESPN, Disney, and YouTube.”
“He’s saying whatever he wants. That man has no rules. And I think it’s hysterical because I’m picturing being a fly on the wall watching the executives melt down as this interview happened yesterday. But they could not tell him no,” she adds.
“ESPN needs that. They need someone that’s outside their control,” Whitlock comments.
“This helps them, in their minds, probably, balance things out a little bit, right?” Steele asks. “And say, ‘Yeah, we might be woke and idiots on pretty much every single topic. But we have McAfee over here talking to Donald Trump. So see? We’re not that bad.’”

Ilhan Omar blasts Somali voters after Minneapolis loss: ‘We need to get rid of these people’
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) is not a moderate or a centrist; rather, as BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler describes him, he’s a “radical leftist.”
But squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) doesn’t care, as his opponent for mayor, Omar Fateh, is a Somali-American — and she was furious when he lost the race, giving an angry speech in her native tongue — likely in the hopes that it wouldn’t be translated into English.
“When a Somali person becomes an enemy, they become a serious one,” she yelled in Somali. “There are people like that living right here in our city. We all see them. Some of us try to dismiss it, saying, ‘Oh, that person just talks too much, it doesn’t mean anything,’ or, ‘Leave them alone, that’s my relative.’”
“You’ve seen them. We need to get rid of these people. We will never gain power and move forward as Somalis as long as these people live among us and we don’t kick them out. The same people [Somalis] we try to defend, they’re the ones who spread lies about us. And when that happens, there’s no way to defend ourselves. I can’t keep saying all day, ‘I didn’t say that,’ because I’ve got work to do,” she continued.
“We’re busy doing our jobs, defending you [Somalis], protecting this country. I can’t waste every day fighting against accusations … that’s your responsibility, and your job is to not welcome those people who work to block and undermine Somalis,” she added.
“The point that’s critical to understand right now is Ilhan Omar is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America. She’s obviously a member of the squad. She’s a crony of Bernie Sanders and AOC and those people who dislike America and want to transform us into a socialist nation,” Wheeler says.
“Ilhan Omar primarily presents herself as being a DSA candidate. This sort of radical sect of the Democrat Party, but that’s not really who she is. Because Jacob Frey, the incumbent mayor of Minneapolis, actually meets all of those qualifications,” she continues.
“If Ilhan Omar wants someone who abides by transgender ideology … who abides by stupid radical leftist unconstitutional policies like gun control, that’s what Jacob Frey does. Jacob Frey is such a pandering leftist that he actually spoke Somali in his victory speech after he defeated Omar Fateh,” she adds.
Wheeler points out that it is because it is not all about politics to someone like Ilhan Omar.
“It’s about Islam. Socialism and Marxism and communism are a means to an end. They are a tool to achieve a secondary outcome. But to Ilhan Omar, the ultimate outcome is Islam,” Wheeler says, pointing out that in the video of her speech after Fateh’s loss, she is speaking like “she’s living in a caliphate.”
And Omar Fateh is, of course, not innocent either.
“Omar Fateh has ties to radical imams. He’s been defended by the Council on American Islamic Relations, who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, the largest terror financing prosecution in U.S. history,” Wheeler explains.
“And Ilhan Omar endorsed him and campaigned for him and defended him despite his shady background,” she adds.

Sorry, liberals — the Epstein emails don’t nail Trump
Just one day after their shutdown fiasco, Democrats have released new Epstein emails in an attempt to incriminate President Trump — but their plan has backfired miserably.
“They magically discovered and released some new emails from Jeffrey Epstein. And you’ll never believe: They finally got him. They got him. House Democrats release Epstein emails that mention Donald Trump,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales jokes.
One email, Gonzales says, “looks pretty bad” and reveals Epstein saying the “dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” before saying that a redacted victim “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with the now-president though he had “never once been mentioned.”
The victim’s name turned out to be Virginia Giuffre, who has “gone on record multiple times and said that President Trump did nothing wrong.”
“There is so much sworn testimony that she has provided about it. … She is on the record saying Trump couldn’t have been friendlier and that he never had sex with her or any of those underage girls,” Gonzales explains.
“The Democrats didn’t redact it because they care about protecting victims. They redacted it because they didn’t want you to be able to go, ‘I think there’s more to that. I don’t know that I buy that,’” she continues.
In another email thread between Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff discussing CNN preparing to ask Trump about his relationship with Epstein, Epstein asks Wolff what his answer would be for Trump if he could “craft an answer for him.”
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt,” Wolff replied.
“Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime,” he added.
Gonzales, again, is not fazed by the left’s new “evidence.”
“Right off the bat, you know, Michael Wolff is not only very aware of what Jeffrey Epstein is doing because he mentions the island … and yet, instead of calling the police, dialing up the FBI, giving some sort of law enforcement or federal official or, I don’t know, literally anyone who could help these young girls who are being trafficked, this guy, instead of doing any of that, he’s just like, ‘I’m going to give PR advice to Jeffrey Epstein,’” Gonzales says.
Not only that, but Wolff’s career as a journalist has been spent writing negative books on Donald Trump.
“A Trump-hater that stands to profit off of a scandal for President Trump. Got it. Not a guy I’m willing to trust,” Gonzales says.
The last email cherry-picked by the Democrats is an email from Epstein to Michael Wolff, where he writes a redacted victim’s name and the word Mar-a-Lago and says, “Trump said he asked me to resign. Never a member ever. Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
“So that doesn’t track with Donald Trump participating in anything, as he asked him to stop. We already know that Donald Trump said, ‘You cannot be a member of Mar-a-Lago any more. You cannot set foot on my property any more.’ We already know that to be true,” Gonzales comments.
Gonzales also notes that not too long ago, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed that Trump was an FBI informant ordered to help take Epstein down.
“It would make a whole lot of sense,” she says.

‘Star Wars’ actor smears Disney and MAGA as fascist
When Disney-owned ABC briefly pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air over comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, “Star Wars” actor Oscar Isaac took it personally.
In an interview with GQ magazine, Isaac was asked what his stance was on returning to “Star Wars” — and while he recently claimed to be on board with starring in the franchise again, things changed after Kimmel’s removal from the air.
“Yeah. I mean … I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can figure it out and not succumb to fascism, that would be great,” Isaac said.
“If that happens, then yeah, I’d be open to having a conversation about a galaxy far away,” he added.
“What universe am I living in that now Hollywood is saying that Disney are fascists because, of course, the ABC thing and suspending Jimmy Kimmel? And so now, Oscar Isaac, who, you know, just made, what, $2 million off of ‘Star Wars,’ $6 million off of ‘Moon Knight,’ I’m told,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.
“Now he has morals and standards,” she adds.
“The funny thing,” BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden says, “is that’s an absolute bait and switch right there, what he was doing, because he knows that the series that he was in was terrible and that ‘Star Wars’ was ruined and nobody likes it.”

Grand Obama ‘conspiracy’: The truth NYT tried to bury
Obama’s deep state tried to destroy Donald Trump, and in a recent New York Times article titled, “Trump Loyalists Push ‘Grand Conspiracy’ as New Subpoenas Land,” the publication is clearly trying to lie — claiming there’s no proof of that.
“Their theory of the case, still unsupported by the evidence: A cabal of Democrats and ‘deep state’ operatives, possibly led by former President Barack Obama, has worked to destroy Mr. Trump in a years-long plot spanning the inquiry into his 2016 campaign to the charge he faced after leaving office,” the article reads.
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales, however, has the receipts.
“The New York Times actually spent time and money on this to try to rewrite the narrative of what actually happened — what we watched happen. Multiple years, multiple years — hard evidence of what this actually was.”
“So here’s what actually happened, New York Times,” she continues. “Obama, and his deep state operatives — which very much are still alive and well, actually — did conspire to try and undermine Trump at every step the second he announced his candidacy.”
Gonzales points to the disproven Russiagate hoax and the surveillance for President Trump’s campaign — which Obama “knew about.”
“They abused the FISA court system to tap his phones. Remember when President Trump was like, ‘They’re spying on me. President Obama’s spying on me.’ And they were like, ‘What a crazy right-wing nutjob.’ No, I mean, it turns out he was right. It was happening,” she explains.
“And on top of that, Tulsi Gabbard just this year released a report proving that not only do we know that Russiagate was a total hoax, not only do we know that they literally spent, like, what, two years, millions of taxpayer dollars, to investigate the thing that they already knew wasn’t true,” she says.
“And when I say ‘they,’ I mean from the very top, the president of the United States at that time, Barack Obama, was in on the whole thing,” she adds.
“There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true,” Gabbard said at a White House press conference.
“It wasn’t. The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people,” she continued.
“In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016. They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be a years-long coup against him and his administration,” she added.
“Like, how much more evidence do you need, New York Times?” Gonzales asks, adding, “These are official documents.”

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.”

ESPN fatigue: Stephen A. Smith pushes vaccines, racial drama, and no real journalism
ESPN is in trouble, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t surprised — especially considering that one of its “stars,” Stephen A. Smith, has been pushing woke nonsense on listeners since the tiresome events of 2020.
In one clip that Whitlock plays from 2022, Smith addresses an incident involving a Duke volleyball player, Rachel Richardson, who claimed that she heard racial slurs in a game against BYU.
“I’m saying, BYU, you did it by allowing this to happen and not addressing it expeditiously, not addressing it with the level of quickness and speed that you should have addressed it with. So now, instead of looking at that fool, that racist bastard that was spewing that nonsense towards Miss Rachel Richardson,” Smith yelled on ESPN’s “First Take.”
“This is why I have fatigue,” Whitlock comments, annoyed. “And y’all remember this. This is about some BYU student that allegedly called some black girl the N-word or something at a volleyball game. It made no sense. There was no proof of it.”
“And Stephen A. Smith’s on TV yelling and screaming and wagging a finger at some white kid that he doesn’t know who he is. There’s no proof that it happened. There never was any proof that it happened. He made a fool of himself and ESPN, and they allowed it to happen. This is supposed to be some media corporation that should have some understanding of the basic tenets of journalism. And they’ve platformed Stephen A. Smith as if he’s the face of sports journalism,” he adds.
But Smith’s BYU outburst is far from the worst of it.
“The virus has been especially brutal to my community, with data showing black Americans being far more likely to get infected, get hospitalized, and, yes, even die from COVID-19. And now the data shows black Americans are not getting the vaccine, at least not at the same rate as other communities,” Smith preached on ESPN.
“Just in Philadelphia, where Rite Aid pharmacies are distributing the vaccine, 87% of vaccinations so far have gone to white folks, reportedly,” he added.
“‘You gotta take this poison, y’all,’” Whitlock mocks. “‘Black people, my community. Now, yes, I lived in a gated community filled with white people, but when I say my community, I’m talking about you black people.’”
“‘You got to take this experimental vaccine and kill yourself. … My IQ is probably in the low 80s, but I’m a doctor and can tell you what vaccines you should take,’” he continues.
“This is insanity,” Whitlock says, adding, “And you wonder why people have fatigue.”

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.
