BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales catches woke radicals spewing nonsense outside AmFest
With America Fest coming to a close just days before Christmas, woke protesters showed no signs of taking a hiatus to celebrate the holiday. BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales went into the fray outside AmFest and came back with some footage of the nonsense the protesters were spewing.
While Gonzales interviewed multiple leftists outside the AmFest venue, one woman stole the show.
‘It’s just signs with really mean words on them and brain-dead individuals holding them, not able to back it up.’
The woman mocked Jesus Christ, shouted about explicit sexual acts with children around, and mocked Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
At one point, Gonzales and the protester wearing the “Deport Melania” hat began arguing about whether there were children present, given that the protester was shouting and blasting explicit music.
“Oh, I’m so upset. There’s all these kids. You guys, there’s no kids. There’s no children here — unless you’re talking about the one I haven’t aborted yet! Am I right? Am I right?” she laughed.
The protester demanded that the cameraman pan around, and at least one kid was in the vicinity.

Concerned by this performance, Gonzales asked the woman several times if she was on drugs.
Gonzales also interviewed a man wearing a mask, sunglasses, bucket hat, and gloves who was carrying an American flag and a megaphone.
However, he refused to speak with Gonzales directly. Rather, to her disgust, he appears to have said, “I really love how Charlie Kirk hasn’t said anything racist in 90 days.”
“Are you happy with Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Cracking jokes? What is a racist thing that Charlie Kirk has said?”
He didn’t have an answer.
“Nothing,” Gonzales said. “Not a thing. These people have nothing. They stand here with their big signs and their big megaphones and they shout these tropes, and then when I ask them to explain themselves, they never can.”
Gonzales also got footage of a man in a giraffe costume singing a rendition of “YMCA” that changed the lyrics to say “f**k ICE,” among other mostly inaudible phrases.
The giraffe suit-wearing man was surrounded by other protesters, some carrying signs that said, for example, “Turning Point + Biggs = White Supremacy,” and “No Christo-Fascist Bulls**t Here.”
“Biggs” appears to refer to Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a featured AmFest speaker.
Gonzales tried one more time to talk to another person with a megaphone and a sign that said, “Stop the Nazi S**t.” Once again, the protester couldn’t, or wouldn’t, provide an explanation. Instead, she just played what sounded like a police siren to drown out the interviewer.
Over the sound of the siren, Gonzales said, “It’s so crazy. They come here with these signs, and they have nothing to back it up. They don’t know what they mean. They can’t explain them. They can’t define them. It’s just signs with really mean words on them and brain-dead individuals holding them, not able to back it up.”

‘We need no such protection’: Clinton accuses Trump of selectively releasing Epstein files — and calls for complete release
A spokesperson for former President Bill Clinton released a statement accusing the Trump administration of unfairly releasing selective portions of the Epstein files.
The Dept. of Justice released a trove of documents from the case against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, with many of the photographs relating to Clinton.
‘Someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what, or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.’
On Monday, the former president called for more transparency in the release in a statement released by his spokesperson Angel Urena.
“The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S.Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves,” Clinton’s statement reads.
“However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: Someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what, or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection,” the statement continued.
He went on to call on Trump to direct U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to “immediately” release other materials that related to Clinton, including “grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs,” as well any findings from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department ofJustice’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation,” Clinton’s statement continued, “using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.”

Among the photos widely circulated on social media from the release is one of Clinton with his arm around a young lady who also has her arm around his shoulders. Her face is obscured to protect her identity.
Another photograph shows the former president in a swimming pool with Epstein’s consort, Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as another woman whose face has been obscured.

TPUSA straw poll shows dominant front-runner for 2028 nomination
The straw poll of attendees at Turning Point USA’s conference shows a massive front-runner for the 2028 Republican nomination.

Then-candidate Trump received support from 82.6% of the voters in the previous poll.
In fact, Vance received slightly more support than President Donald Trump did in the same straw poll for 2024. Then-candidate Trump received support from 82.6% of the voters in the previous poll.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio came in a distant second with 4.8% support.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) obtained 2.9%, while Donald Trump Jr. got 1.8% support.
Attendees of the AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona, were also asked to express how they view the United States’ relationship with Israel. A third said Israel was the country’s top ally, while another 53.4% said Israel was one ally among many. Only 13.3% said Israel was not an ally at all.
An large number of attendees, 89.5%, said they would support a moratorium on immigration to the U.S. Only 10.5% said they opposed the policy.
Vance spoke at the conference and was endorsed by Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk, for president. He has not announced a campaign yet.

Allie Beth Stuckey delivers bold speech at TPUSA AmericaFest: ‘Truth divides’
BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey took the stage at the Turning Point USA conference and delivered a bold speech to thousands of attendees on Saturday.
Stuckey, who helms the hit Christian podcast “Relatable,” challenged societal notions about the conservative movement and the Christian’s role in politics.
‘Truth divides. It’s not always a bad thing.’
“While I do think it’s important to find unity, I actually think that truth is more important than that. I think truth is more important than that,” Stuckey said.
“And it’s important to remember this analogy: If you’re discouraged by the disagreements and the division and the debates, I understand. It can feel demoralizing, but let me tell you why this happens so much on the right, seemingly more than it happens on the left,” she added.
“There is a difference in the nature of progressivism versus conservatism. Progressivism sets out to destroy, and if you are destroying something — destroying Western civilization, destroying the church, destroying the family — it does not matter how you do it. It doesn’t matter what tool you hold or what material you use. As long as you are destroying whatever institution or edifice it is, that’s fine. You don’t really have to agree on much,” Stuckey explained.
“But on the right, on the conservative side, we are trying to build something. And when you’re building something, you have to agree on a lot. You have to agree on the materials used, the tools being used to build, and most importantly, you have to agree on a foundation. And if we cannot agree on a foundation, then it’s going to be very hard to build something together,” she said.
“But the debates and working out what that edifice looks like, of what the future of America should be, there’s going to be some discomfort and division within that,” Stuckey added. “Truth divides. It’s not always a bad thing.”
She went on to say that the job of Christians is to pull people to their side and not compromise on their principles.
Elsewhere in her speech, Stuckey said that politics should be one of the methods through which Christians show their love of their neighbors.
“Let me tell you, as a Christian, something that a lot of people don’t want to talk about, but I know everyone in this room wants to hear and agrees with,” Stuckey said.
“One way that Christians can glorify God, one way that Christians can love our neighbor as we await the perfect and sure victory of Jesus Christ is through politics. It’s through politics. Politics matter because policy matters, because people matter,” she added.

“Politics affects policy. Policy affects people. People are made in the image of God. People matter to God, and therefore they matter to us,” Stuckey continued.
“And so Christians don’t have an option, nor should we want the option not to be political,” she added. “That doesn’t mean that politics is the primary way or the only way that we love our neighbor, but it is a way to love our neighbor. Because our most vulnerable neighbors are affected by politics.”
Vice President JD Vance and rap artist Nicki Minaj were among the more prominent speakers at the Turning Point USA conference that lasted until Sunday.

Nicki Minaj stuns crowd in surprise appearance at TPUSA conference, praises Trump and Vance
Rapper Nicki Minaj surprised the audience at the Turning Point USA conference on Sunday and voiced her enthusiastic support for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
The star has been using her social media platform to defend Israel and criticize many leftist policies, but few expected her to show up to AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona.
‘He has, I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win.’
Minaj and Erika Kirk hugged on stage before answering questions from the audience. Minaj made it very clear she is a Trump supporter.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” she said. “He has, I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact.”
She went on to praise the president as well as the vice president.
“I can relate to them. When I hear them speak, I know that they’re one of us. … They haven’t lost touch of the world, you know,” Minaj said. “They’re still connected to the world and what’s happening in the world, with the younger people and older people, with the richer people and not-so-rich people. They have the ability to still connect and be real and make us feel proud to be American.”
The rapper touched upon the plight of Christians under persecution around the globe.
“We won’t be silenced ever again. We will speak up for Christians wherever they are in this world!” she said to loud applause.

She also continued her tirade against California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely considered to be seeking to run for president in 2028.
“‘We don’t have a problem cleaning up the scum if we have to. Please tread lightly.’ That’s what I would say to Gavie-poo,” she said.
President Trump has frequently insulted the Democrat by referring to him as “Gavin Newscum.”
Minaj previously noted when Vice President JD Vance posted his support for her side in a very public feud she has had with fellow rap artist Cardi B.
