Jailed Venezuelan kingpin praises Trump; drops bombshell about the narco regime
Once upon a time, retired three-star Venezuelan General Hugo Carvajal Barrios was one of the most powerful men within the Caracas socialist regime. Now, he’s writing letters to President Trump and the American people from his jail cell, which he landed in after voluntarily pleading guilty in the U.S. to a narco-terrorism conspiracy.
And while many politicians, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), are criticizing President Trump for actions taken against Venezuelan narco-terrorists, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is in full support of Trump — alongside Barrios.
Gonzales points out that Paul is “going out and giving these little, like, press junkets where he’s telling people, like, ‘Well, these guys weren’t armed. You need to prove that they’re armed first.’”
“You know what they’re armed with, Rand? Drugs that they’re bringing into our country to kill Americans with,” Gonzales says, adding, “That’s what they’re armed with.”
And in his letter, Barrios confirms Gonzales’ sentiment.
“I see the need to address the American people about the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is — and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security,” Barrios began in his letter.
“I personally witnessed how Hugo Chavez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolas Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials. The purpose of this organization, now known as the Cartel of the Suns, is to weaponize drugs against the United States,” he continued.
“The drugs that reached your cities through new routes were not accidents of corruption nor just the work of independent traffickers; they were deliberate policies coordinated by the Venezuelan regime against the United States,” he added.
Barrios went on to claim that the plan has “been successfully executed with help from FARC, ELN, Cuban operatives, and Hezbollah.”
“The regime has provided weapons, passports, and impunity for these terrorist organizations to operate freely from Venezuela against the United States. The regime I served is not merely hostile — it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons,” he wrote.
Barrios added, “I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth.”
“He’s already been sentenced. He’s serving time in federal prison. And he’s like, ‘I just want to make this right within my soul.’ So I’m going to explain all of this to you,” Gonzales says.
“It probably makes a whole hell of a lot of sense why the Trump administration is going so hard on Venezuela regardless of whether they’re armed with guns. … Innocent Americans are dying, and they don’t have to, because of the Venezuelan government.”
“We need to do something about that,” she adds.

THIS is why Trump should send Alejandro Mayorkas to PRISON
During President Trump’ s first term, Americans were forced to wake up and realize that immigration was a serious problem — and that we were losing who we were and what we stand for as a country.
“And then Biden gets in, who’s this — he’s not even a person. He’s this just sort of like empty vessel … and what they do immediately with him is not just like turn the immigration spigot back on, it’s supercharged,” BlazeTV host Jonathan “Lomez” Keeperman tells co-host Christopher Rufo on “Rufo & Lomez.”
“OK, we get in Biden’s four years, the equivalent of 12 years of immigration. The preceding 12 years combined ends up equaling what Biden does — another like eight million illegal immigrants,” Lomez says.
“Millions of these get away, they’re not even processing people at the border. … Alejandro Mayorkas just decides unilaterally, we’re going to start taking in people from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, Venezuela, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people basically flying illegal immigrants, paying to fly illegal immigrants into the country to be resettled by these refugee programs,” he continues.
“They’re getting hundreds of millions of dollars from DHS to do this. You have hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors, OK? We’re just taking in the world. We’re taking in the entire world.”
“And when I say we, I mean Alejandro Mayorkas, who should frankly be in jail and tried for sedition,” he adds.

Trans professor flunks student for calling trans ideology ‘demonic’
Most parents assume that when they send their children to college in the South, they’ll be marked safe from transgender ideology rearing its head in their classrooms.
However, it appears that they’ve assumed wrong.
Now a student at the University of Oklahoma has filed a discrimination report against a transgender instructor who failed her for referencing the Bible in an essay response to an article about gender stereotypes.
The student, Samantha Fulnecky, disagreed with the premise of the article but made sure her response worked well within the prompt’s guidelines — using the Bible to argue against the notion that there are multiple genders.
“Apparently the trans instructor didn’t like that very much and gave her a 0 as her grade,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
In her essay, Fulnecky wrote, “I strongly disagree with the idea from the article that encouraging acceptance of diverse gender expressions could improve students’ confidence. Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth.”
“My prayer for the world and specifically for American society and youth is that they would not believe the lies being spread from Satan that make them believe they are better off as another gender than what God made them,” she continued.
“My first reaction is why are you asking the students to write an essay about this in the first place? It seems to me like there are far better things that you could be teaching them rather than having them waste their precious time explaining something like ‘boys have penises and girls have vaginas,’” Gonzales comments.
“But then again, we are dealing with a mentally ill professor,” she continues, noting that when the New York Times covered the story, it conveniently left the part about the professor being transgender out.
“I find that part fascinating,” Gonzales comments.
The professor, who calls himself “Mel Curth,” responds, “I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting points for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive.”
“Additionally to call an entire group of people ‘demonic’ is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population,” he added.
“Seems to me like it’s entirely about her beliefs,” Gonzales comments, adding, “and the fact that she stood up for her, of course, Christian worldview.”

Conservative influencers promote Qatar as a desert paradise — but are they lying?
One of the main reasons Americans flock to shows like “The Liz Wheeler Show” is because Wheeler is someone the average citizen can trust to tell the truth — and it’s something that she’s very proud of. Which is why when other members of the new media on the right appear to betray the trust of the American people, she feels the need to call it out.
“These people, who are ostensibly conservatives, began to post on X very long, flowery defenses of Qatar and the Qatari government that didn’t seem to be quite authentic. It didn’t seem to be quite organic,” Wheeler explains, pointing to Rob Smith as one of those influencers.
“My first trip to Qatar has been eye-opening. This is a very different Middle East than I experienced as a U.S. Army soldier deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom,” Smith began in his post on X.
“I wasn’t aware of a great deal of things about Qatar, only misperceptions and half-truths I’d read about online. When the opportunity was presented to me, with full authority and autonomy to ask the tough questions of the officials I’d be meeting with (and I did), I decided to risk any potential criticism and to travel and experience it for myself,” he continued.
The post went on to praise the Qatari government further, finishing with a posed photo of Smith on a balcony.
“If your reaction after hearing that post or reading that post was anything like mine was, maybe you scratched your head after you read that, because it reads a little bit like a scam email,” Wheeler says.
“I mean, to be perfectly frank, my gut reaction when I read that was, ‘Shouldn’t you register as a foreign lobbyist after writing this post, Rob?’” she adds.
In another post from influencer Emily Wilson, she is posed in a photo on a very similar looking balcony, writing only, “So beautiful can’t wait to come back,” followed by the flag of Qatar.
When Wilson’s post went viral, she responded, “I genuinely can’t believe how clueless some people are. Qatar hosts Formula 1 and people from all over the world fly in for it. Tourists, models, celebrities, fans. It is a massive international destination.”
“And honestly it was amazing to finally feel safe and not be surrounded by homeless crackheads and criminals for once. I could actually relax and enjoy myself. Maybe if you salty losers left your bedrooms and visited a place before obsessively talking about it, you wouldn’t sound so chronically online and jealous,” she added.
“Again it just doesn’t ring quite true. Why all of a sudden are these influencers coming to the defense of Qatar?” Wheeler asks, pointing out that Smith happens to be gay, which is considered a crime in Qatar.
“They write these glowing recommendations of Qatar and yet their own behavior is actually illegal in Qatar. If you look at Qatari law, it’s illegal to evangelize for any other religion besides Islam. You can be put in prison or worse from that. You are not allowed to preach publicly about Christianity or distribute any kind of religious materials,” Wheeler explains.
“You can’t even question the tenants, the teachings of the Islamic religion. That is a criminal offense in Qatar. … Same-sex sexual relations in Qatar are illegal and punishable by imprisonment. If you engage in any kind of gay sex, then you are considered a criminal under the Islamic law in Qatar,” she continues.
“They have a two-tier justice system, a justice system that oppresses regular people and lets off the elites, holds them to an easier standard, which is pretty evident,” she says, adding, “That’s exactly what’s happening here to Rob Smith and to Emily Saves America.”

‘There’s something wrong with him’: Trump doubles down on Tim Walz insult
In a Thanksgiving Day Truth Social post, President Trump didn’t just wish a happy holiday to the American people, but he took on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for his fraud scandal in classic, scathing Trump fashion.
“As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great state of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” Trump wrote.
“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab … does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how ‘badly’ she is treated,” he added.
And when pressed on his comments by the media, President Trump stood his ground.
“In that same post, you mentioned Tim Walz, and you called him what many Americans do find an offensive word, uh, ‘retarded.’ Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz ‘retarded’?” a reporter asked.
“Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him. Absolutely, sure. You have a problem with it?” Trump responded.
“You know what, I think there’s something wrong with him. Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into his state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It’s not even a country because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name, but it doesn’t function like a country,” he continued.
“Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz,” he added.
BlazeTV host Pat Gray is thrilled with Trump’s comments, cheering, “He’s right about that.”
“I love it,” executive producer Keith Malinak chimes in, adding, “Accurate too.”

The left tries — and fails — to brand Pete Hegseth a ‘war criminal’
The left is attempting to paint Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a war criminal — and it’s backfiring miserably.
Hegseth is being accused of ordering a second strike on 11 Tren de Aragua terrorists who were running a drug-trafficking boat, while the left is attempting to spin it into an evil, unthinkable act.
“Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all,” a Washington Post headline reads. The subhead follows, “As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.”
“Am I supposed to feel bad for the drug runners? Am I supposed to feel bad for the narco-terrorists? I don’t feel bad for the narco-terrorists. Who I feel bad for are all of the families in this country who had to bury their loved ones due to the importation of these drugs from these narco-terrorists,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments.
“So, I don’t know, Washington Post, I don’t really feel bad for these two men clinging to a stricken burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6,” she continues.
Now, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is claiming that what Hegseth allegedly did crossed a line that he should “never step over.”
“If what has been reported is accurate, I’ve got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over,” Kelly said in a segment on CNN.
“This was the same guy who was just, like, last week telling the military to basically commit treason, telling the military to be insubordinate when it comes to the commander in chief and when it comes to orders that they are being given. So, it’s really, really rich,” Gonzales says.
But Kelly isn’t the only one who went after Hegseth, with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) telling ABC, “It’s very possible there was a war crime committed.”
“Of course, for it to be a war crime, you have to accept the Trump administration’s whole construct here, which is, we’re in armed conflict at war with this particular, with the drug gangs. Of course, they’ve never presented the public with the information they’ve got here. But it could be worse than that,” Van Hollen said.
“If that theory is wrong, then it’s plain murder. But even if you accept their legal theory, that it is a war crime. And so, I do believe that the secretary of defense should be held accountable for giving those kinds of orders,” he added.
“You’re going to be shocked to hear,” Gonzales comments, “that it turns out, all of this was total bulls**t because Pete Hegseth, according to the White House, was not even in charge when the second strike was ordered.”
“Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,” she adds.

New York Times admits massive fraud under Tim Walz
BlazeTV host Christopher Rufo and his co-author have broken a story on the rampant fraud within Minnesota’s social services system — and now even the New York Times is reporting on what has gone down on the governor’s watch.
“This is fascinating,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says. “Why would they be doing this? … Why would Tim Walz be the target of an actual investigation by the New York Times?”
In the New York Times article, titled, “How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch,” the outlet writes, “Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in the pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided.”
“These are the types of things that we always tell you are going to happen when they set these programs up. They always do happen, and no one cares,” Burguiere says.
“Federal prosecutors say that 59 people have been convicted in those schemes so far, and that more than $1 billion in taxpayers’ money has been stolen in three plots they are investigating. That is more than Minnesota spends annually to run its Department of Corrections,” the article reports.
Burguiere isn’t surprised in the slightest.
“It’s weird — when you just give away a bunch of free money, a lot of people who want free money show up. That happens all the time. It’s what we say about the border. It’s what we say about all sorts of different communities that are able to access this cash,” he says.
And according to the Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary, Walz was aware of the fraud well before he began taking action to stop it.
“Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports,” the account wrote in a post on X.
And according to the White House, the Trump administration is now “terminating Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, indefinitely halting migration from third-world countries, re-examining green cards for every alien from every country of concern, pausing all asylum decisions, and more.”
“I’m sure there are many wonderful examples that escaped a civil war and have done great things,” Burguiere comments regarding Somali citizens. “That being said, a lot of these people are not examples of that situation, and we need to do something about that, not ignore it because we feel bad to call people names because we’re worried they might think we’re racists.”

Jack Posobiec’s prediction comes true in record time; classified Trump-Russia call conveniently leaked
Just days ago, Jack Posobiec predicted future government leaks to damage President Trump were incoming — and not 24 hours after his prediction, it was proven right.
“When the first impeachment of President Trump happened in 2019, it was regarding leaks from a phone call, believe it or not, with Ukraine and the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” Posobiec told BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
“So in that case, you had Alexander Binman, who was an Army officer. You had the CIA officer Eric Ciaramella that was detailed to President Trump’s White House and the National Security Council. I’ve said that I think what they’re trying to do is gin this up again. They’re trying to get someone … to start leaking classified information, national security information,” he continued, adding, “Like, oh, I don’t know, the current peace negotiations between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia.”
The plan, Posobiec told Wheeler, would be to get “another impeachment of President Trump.”
“And if the Democrats are able to be victorious in taking back the House, many people think that’s a possibility for 2026, then this will be something that they have on the shelf ready to go day one,” he explained.
“I think that there’s a plot afoot, I absolutely think that it’s a color revolution designed to overthrow the sitting commander in chief, the president of the United States,” he added.
Wheeler is astounded by how quickly Posobiec was proven correct.
“Less than 24 hours after that aired … Jack’s prediction came true. We were greeted this morning with a leak, a leak of a classified phone call, or I would assume it was classified, a transcript of a phone call between Vladimir Putin’s senior foreign policy adviser and Steve Witkoff, who is President Trump’s special envoy,” Wheeler explains.
“This phone call between Witkoff and Putin’s senior foreign policy adviser is being presented in exactly the same way as that phone call between President Trump and Zelenskyy was presented all those years ago,” she continues.
Now the left is “framing this as some kind of great scandal.”
“They’re saying President Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff has advised the Russian government, has given advice to Vladimir Putin, on how to coerce Trump into agreeing to a certain peace plan,” Wheeler explains, pointing out that “there was nothing remotely scandalous about anything that was said in that call.”
“The scandal, of course, is that this call was leaked to Bloomberg and that this was released publicly. That is a bad faith move by a bad actor, and we should figure out who leaked that to Bloomberg because it will be detrimental to actually creating a peace deal,” she says.
“President Trump is not only a good negotiator, he’s a good negotiator because he negotiates at a very high level, but he uses very basic negotiation techniques and tactics. One of the most effective negotiation tactics, when you have something that you want the other party to agree to, is to make the other party think that your idea is their idea,” she continues.
“That is what you’re seeing play out with Steve Witkoff,” she adds.

FDA admits COVID shot killed children — and the media still runs cover
After years of gaslighting by the Biden administration, the Food and Drug Administration is finally coming clean to the American people and admitting that “at least 10 children died after and because of receiving the COVID vaccine.”
A memo written by Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, concluded that “no fewer than 10” of 96 child deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System between 2021 and 2024 were related to COVID vaccination.
Prasad even claimed the numbers could be higher.
“Now, this is something that I’ve been trying to sound the alarm on for a very, very long time. And it is very refreshing to hear this coming to light,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, though she notes that the entire vaccine schedule needs to be scrutinized further.
“Wait till you hear about the CDC schedule,” she adds.
As for the COVID vaccine, Gonzales points out the heavily ignored but well-reported uptick of myocarditis following inoculation in children.
“You had these young boys who were developing it — not normal, despite what the Biden administration tried to tell you. And then Johnson & Johnson, that clot shot was quietly taken away when it killed people,” she says.
“Despite the fact that all of these drug makers try to hide the negative effects, despite all of that, despite what you see in front of your very eyes, you still have doctors trying to peddle total f**king lies,” she continues, before playing a clip from an MS NOW segment where a doctor belittles the FDA’s findings.
“Here we just have the FDA saying, ‘Trust us, we know this to be true,’ without giving us any clear evidence,” Dr. Paul Offit tells Ana Cabrera on “Ana Cabrera Reports.”
“In fact, NBC reports that the memo did not include the children’s ages or medical histories, timelines, or documentation for the deaths he references, does not identify the manufacturer of the vaccine. The FDA’s findings haven’t even been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Doctor, what do you make of that? And do we have any details about these deaths?” Cabrera asks.
“No, it’s an unprofessional and irresponsible thing to do,” Offit replies.
“That’s Dr. Paul Offit — he has gotten totally rich. Totally rich. He is one of the benefactors of the fact that you go and inject your child with poison because you think that they need it to go to school. He is one of the largest benefactors of that,” Gonzales comments.
“So, please, who are you going to believe? Who are you going to believe? The man who stands to financially benefit from the vaccine program? That guy? By the way, total retard. Or the FDA, who is looking at this objectively?” she continues.
“The COVID shot is just the tip of the iceberg,” she adds.

Autism fraud: Muslim migrants are exploiting empathy for power
BlazeTV host Christopher Rufo broke a massive story surrounding the Somalian community in Minnesota last week. Members of the community “allegedly participated in complex schemes related to autism services, food programs, and housing.”
Prosecutors estimate billions of taxpayer dollars have been stolen and some of it has ended up in the hands of a terrorist organization in Somalia.
“For example, the Housing Stabilization Services Program — meant to cost $2.6 million per year — exploded to $104 million annually by 2024 and $61 million in just the first half of 2025 before being shut down because the vast majority of it was fraudulent,” explains BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”
Somali-owned nonprofits like Feeding Our Future were also claiming to feed thousands of children daily “with fake rosters and invoices,” before using the money to fund luxury vehicle purchases and “overseas real estate,” she continues.
“Say you were a Republican who had been running in Minnesota and you had run on, ‘Hey, we got to cut spending, and we have to cut the taxpayer dollars that we are giving to Feeding Our Future.’ What would the liberal media have said? ‘Oh, you’re evil. How dare you DOGE this. You don’t want to feed innocent children. You want these innocent children to starve,’” she says.
Separately, a $14 million autism services fraud ring allegedly paid Somali parents cash kickbacks to enroll kids, despite the children not having autism diagnoses.
“What are we doing?” Stuckey asks. “I mean, if this is happening in Minnesota, and this is actually being uncovered in Minnesota, which is pretty incredible, like, what’s happening in California? What’s happening in Illinois? What’s happening in New York? What is happening in Houston, these Democrat-run places where there are these large Somalian Islamic groups?”
“I mean, you’ve got to give them credit. They look out for themselves. They’re going to put themselves first. They’re looking out for Somalia. They’re looking out for Afghanistan. They’re looking out for Islam. They’re looking out for their people,” she continues, pointing out that these scandals have “erupted” since Governor Tim Walz (D) took office in 2019.
“If he ran right now, every Democrat in the state of Minnesota would vote for him. I mean, we already had someone in the state of Virginia win after texts were leaked that said that he wanted to kill his opponent’s children,” Stuckey says.
“So I don’t think that fraud is, like, the moral limit that the current Democrat Party has,” she adds.
