BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre and contributor Eric July join the show to discuss rising crime in major American cities. New York City police arrested a man this week and charged him with reckless endangerment after he stepped in to save a woman who was being robbed at a subway station by a homeless man. Over in Nashville, Tennessee, an aspiring musician and college freshman at Belmont University was shot and killed by a man who was jailed earlier this year for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but was released after a court deemed him mentally incompetent to stand trial. Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt and coach Ansleigh Wilk joins the show to discuss how she fought and won a match against a transgender female. A few months later, the North American Grappling Association revised its policies to require only biological women to fight other women. Transgender athletes are now required to compete with their biological sex. Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn filled a subpoena yesterday for all flight records of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She is demanding that Congress release the records: “Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct.” Today's Sponsors: Relief factor isn't a drug, but it was developed by doctors to fight inflammation.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and author of "You Will Own Nothing" Carol Roth join the show to break down last night's third GOP presidential debate between the five front-runners in the Republican Party: Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, and Chris Christie. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came off as the winner last night after pushing back on the Biden administration's lack of care when it came to rescuing Americans from war between Israel and Gaza. Vivek Ramaswamy went full "attack dog" on RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, saying what a lot of Americans are thinking after a disastrous election night Tuesday. This morning, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed an impeachment resolution against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him and the Biden administration of high crimes and misdemeanors for his failure to address the crisis at the southern border. Senator Joe Manchin (D) of West Virginia surprised the country with the news that he will not be seeking re-election in 2024, leaving many wondering if he is planning to run for another office after telling Americans that he has an "interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together."

Comedian Michael Loftus and Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, join the show to discuss last night's election results from across the country that left the GOP in shambles. Virginia Democrats swept the state legislature, and Kentucky's gubernatorial race went to the Democrat. Across the country, abortion dominated the elections with Ohio enshrining abortion into its state constitution. The House Oversight Committee led by Congressman James Comer subpoenaed Hunter Biden, James Biden, and their business associate, Rob Walker, for testimony before the panel as part of its investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings. Last night, the House voted to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for her attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Twenty-two Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Tlaib. Eight of those Democrats are Jewish. Congressman Thomas Massie attempted last night to protect Americans from a bill that would add a "kill switch" that would stop drivers who were "impaired" to all cars made after 2026.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss a recent report from the House Judiciary Committee that revealed information that the Department of Homeland Security created a Stanford University “disinformation” group that censored Americans’ speech before the 2020 election. The group, named the Election Integrity Partnership, aimed to identify election-related content that needed to be censored. The report named prominent politicians like former President Trump, Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), along with conservative thinkers like Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin. Today is Election Day across the country. States like Virginia are mixing up their entire state governments, with 100 House seats up for election and 40 state Senate seats. States like Kentucky and Mississippi are electing their next governors. Ohio has abortion and marijuana on the ballot too.

BlazeTV host Chad Prather and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss an allegedly leaked portion of the Covenant School shooter's manifesto. The Nashville police department has yet to confirm the authenticity of the leaked manifesto released this morning by Steven Crowder. The FBI released information last week that a 20-year-old Jordanian man who was living in the country under an expired visa was arrested for illegally possessing a firearm. Law enforcement also said that Sohaib Abuayyash allegedly threatened to shoot up a Jewish center in Houston, Texas. Abuayyash was arrested in Houston on Oct. 19. The possible terror suspect remains detained pending further criminal proceedings. The New York Times released a new poll this weekend showing Biden losing to Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election. Biden trails by an average of 4 percentage points (44-48) behind Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere and contributor Eric July join the show to discuss a Wall Street Journal report that Russia's Wagner Group plans to send air defenses to Hezbollah, a Lebanese, Iran-backed terror organization. A U.S. official said that Washington hasn’t confirmed that the system has been sent, but officials are monitoring discussions between Hezbollah and Wagner. With talks of Hezbollah possibly becoming stronger, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $14.3 billion spending bill for aid to Israel. Twelve Democrats crossed the line to approve the bill while Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie voted against it. Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty last night of embezzling $10 billion of his clients' money in what the prosecutor said was "one of the biggest financial frauds in American history." Bankman-Fried will be sentenced on March 28 and could face up to 115 years in prison.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss Jewish hate that is on the rise globally and the White House's release of a national strategy to combat Islamophobia that stemmed from the Hamas attack on October 7. In a message, Vice President Kamala Harris announced the "country's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia" to "combat a surge of hate in America." Multiple Republicans joined with Democrats in voting to table a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. The resolution was put forward by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and last week, Tlaib issued a statement describing it as "unhinged" and "deeply Islamophobic." A group of thousands of migrants from China is headed to the United States by way of the Darién Gap. Chinese people were the fourth most numerous nationality — after Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, and Haitians — crossing the Darién Gap. Hunter Biden claimed victimhood in a recent op-ed with USA Today. Biden wrote about his battle with addiction and his fight to get sober. In his op-ed, he accused others of using his addiction as “fodder for a vile and sustained disinformation campaign against him." The Washington, D.C., mayor, in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, is giving away free AirTags and anti-theft devices to D.C. residents to combat a 27% raise in auto thefts.

BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens and Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, join the show to discuss Hamas official Ghazi Hamad's interview with a Lebanon news channel during which Hamad vowed to attack Israel again and again until Israel no longer exists. Hamad defended Hamas' actions that claimed the lives of over 1,400 Israelis on October 7. Hamad declared: "Israel is a country that has no place on our [Palestinian] land." President Biden claims he will veto a stand-alone funding bill for Israel. The Office of Management and Budget said, “This bill is bad for Israel, for the Middle East region, and for our own national security.” This budget bill would decouple the money from Ukraine funding and border aid. Patrick Dai, 21, a self-identified “Hamas fighter” who was busted for allegedly threatening to kill Jews at Cornell University, had his first day in court today. According to the indictment, Dai allegedly threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus” and “rape and kill all the Jew women before they birth more Jewish Hitlers." Chairman of the Oversight Committee Rep. James Comer unveiled a $40,000 direct payment to Joe Biden from 2017 labeled as a "loan repayment" that he claims is "laundered money" that can be traced back to the Chinese. Former President Donald Trump's legal team is back in court in Colorado as the state tries to take Trump's name off the 2024 GOP presidential ballot.

Matthew Marsden and Grant Stinchfield join the show to discuss the Senate hearings on Capitol Hill today. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas spoke before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and was eviscerated by Senator Josh Hawley for an incident concerning a DHS employee who posted an image on a burner Instagram account of a Hamas paraglider with a machine gun flying into Israel. Hawley was infuriated that the DHS had not fired the employee for her anti-Semitic comments. Later in the hearing, Mayorkas confirmed that the Biden administration has allowed over 600,000 known "gotaways" to illegally cross into the country, putting Americans at risk of another terrorist attack. President Biden signed a "landmark" executive order Monday, issuing sweeping regulations on artificial intelligence aimed at strengthening safety, security, and privacy and at "advancing equity."

BlazeTV contributor and "Uncle Tom" producer Chad Jackson joins the show to discuss the news that came out this morning that a federal judge is prohibiting the Biden administration from "disassembling, degrading, tampering with" the Texas concertina wire barriers. This is a major win for Texas sovereignty. On the other side of the world, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the world that a ceasefire will not happen. The Israeli leader noted that the conflict is a fight for the survival of the country. In Russia over the weekend, hundreds of individuals stormed an airport searching for Jews. A terrifying video showed the horde flooding into the Makhachkala International Airport in the North Caucasus Republic of Dagestan in Russia. The mob was seen waving Palestine flags and was heard shouting "Allahu akbar." In the United States, thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters shut down the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Saturday. Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with CBS News over the weekend.

BlazeTV contributor Eric July and Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson join the show to break down last night's airstrike in Syria by the United States military. The Pentagon announced late last night that President Biden ordered an airstrike on two locations in eastern Syria that were linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The strikes were in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week. Nearly two days after suspect Robert Card allegedly killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, police still have no idea where Card is. During a lengthy news conference, Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck would only say that authorities are leaving all their options open. Newly voted-in House Speaker Mike Johnson sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity last night for his first interview since he took the speakership. Johnson told Hannity that the House is ready to fund the Ukraine war as well as the war in Israel and Gaza. However, Johnson said this time it would be different, because this Congress will find the money in the budget.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss the manhunt under way to find a mass shooter who allegedly killed 18 people and injured 13 others in Maine yesterday. California Governor Gavin Newsom politically exploited the heinous deaths of 18 people to garner support for a constitutional amendment that he knows would not have stopped the killer. New footage released today from Capitol cameras caught Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the act of deliberately pulling the fire alarm and taking down the emergency signs from the door to try to stop House proceedings. This morning, he pleaded guilty to falsely pulling a fire alarm and was arraigned in Washington, D.C. Jewish students at Cooper Union were locked inside the school's library for their own safety as pro-Hamas protesters were outside the doors banging to get in.

Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher and comedian JP Sears join the show to discuss the news that Congress has chosen a new speaker of the House: Congressman Mike Johnson. Texas sued the Biden administration Tuesday for the federal government’s practice of cutting wire placed along the border by state authorities. According to the lawsuit, federal agents have implemented a policy of destroying Texas’ wire to “encourage and assist thousands of aliens to illegally cross the Rio Grande and enter Texas.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams told migrants that they are unable to house any more people. Adams was planning to put migrants into new tent shelters because NYC was “out of room.” Today's Sponsors: You can get a FREE report with all the details on how the Bank On Yourself strategy adds guarantees, predictability, and control to your financial plan.

Tom Emmer dropped out of the speaker race just hours after his party selected him as its latest nominee. Jenna Ellis, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, pleaded guilty today in the Georgia election case. In a deal with prosecutors, Ellis, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, which is a felony. Ellis will not face jail time but will serve five years of probation, receive a $5,000 fine, and serve 100 hours of community service. She was also ordered to write an apology letter to the people of Georgia. Bank records released on Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 in funds from his brother, James Biden — more proof that President Biden directly profited from his family’s selling of influence.

BlazeTV contributor Eric July and Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson join the show to discuss President Biden's latest $100 billion spending bill to aid the wars in Ukraine and Israel and fund the United States-Mexico border. Senator Tom Cotton said it would be dead on arrival, claiming, "We will not spend, for example, $3.5 billion to address the ‘potential needs of Gazans’ — essentially functioning as a resupply line for Hamas terrorists.” While the Middle East is in the middle of a holy war, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told NBC News that he was concerned about Iranian proxies targeting American personnel, saying we need to be ready to respond to any attacks. David Sacks confirmed this morning information from Germany's former military leader, Gerhard Schröder, that back in 2022, President Biden and his administration rejected a peace deal that would have ended the war in Ukraine. During meetings in Istanbul, Turkey, Ukraine was willing to accept neutrality, but the deal was rejected by the Biden administration in Washington, D.C. The House speaker position remains vacant as nine candidates put their names in the hat. Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida remains a front-runner with a 100% Liberty Score. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee — a Democrat representing Texas — was caught going on a profanity-laden and abusive tirade on a staffer who she described as a "f***ing idiot."

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss President Biden's weird chin. Biden gave a tone-deaf speech aboard Air Force One last night, telling reporters that Hamas should “learn how to shoot straight.” A member of the "Hamas Caucus," Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, sobbed during a speech in front of the U.S Capitol yesterday — repeating the disputed claims that Israel sent an airstrike that killed hundreds of people at a hospital in the Gaza Strip. Congressman Jim Jordan told the press today that he is not backing down and is still running for speaker. The infamous "Release the Kraken" Sidney Powell shocked the country today by pleading guilty to six criminal counts in a deal with the Fulton County prosecutors that gave her a reduced sentence and no jail time. The shocking move sparked speculation that she "flipped" and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, turning on her old boss, former President Donald Trump.

BlazeTV host Steve Deace and Glenn Beck's chief writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, join the show to discuss President Biden's trip to Israel today. During Biden's visit, he promised to provide aid to Gaza by way of $100 million of taxpayer money. While Biden was in the Middle East, back home in Washington, D.C., Hamas sympathizers took over the rotunda of the Cannon House office building, yelling, “Cease fire, now.” House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) failed to secure the necessary votes to gain the speakership after 22 House Republicans voted against him during a second vote today. According to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, in a head-to-head matchup, President Biden has a slight edge over former President Donald Trump, leading by three points with 49% to 46%. However, in a three-way contest that includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's support decreases to 37%, while Biden's falls to 44%, and RFK Jr sits at 16%. Alec Baldwin is heading back to court and facing possible new charges. The court said yesterday that “additional facts have come to light” following an “extensive” investigation carried out in recent months.

Glenn Beck's head writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, and BlazeTV host Chad Prather join the show to break down the violent terrorist attacks in Israel over the weekend. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is at war and called for a total siege of Gaza. President Biden had a very lackluster response to the news that Israel is at war and provided no press briefing Sunday or today. An Israeli commander said U.S. small arms that were left behind during President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 have found their way into the hands of Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip. According to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’ Saturday surprise attack on Israel. There were also pro-Palestine rallies across the globe over the weekend. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced today that he is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent.

Clinton questioned when Republicans would break with Trump and even mentioned a "formal deprogramming" of his supporters. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the Biden administration's decision to allow further construction of the Mexican border wall. She described the move as "cruel" and argued that walls are ineffective in deterring individuals fleeing poverty and violence from coming to the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security has suddenly reversed course and announced that it will continue building Trump's border wall. But has President Biden finally come to his senses, or is there more to this story?

BlazeTV contributors Jaco Booyens and Eric July join the show to discuss a wild weekend at the U.S. Capitol where Congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown. The recent stopgap funding bill did not include additional aid for Ukraine. However, it did allocate an extra $16 billion for natural disaster assistance. Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York was captured on video pulling a fire alarm in a Capitol office building shortly before the vote to keep the government open. He stated that he pulled the fire alarm because he believed it would open a door that is typically accessible for votes but was locked on that specific day. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is currently facing an effort led by conservative Representative Matt Gaetz to remove him from his position. This move is driven by frustrations among Gaetz and other House conservatives who believe McCarthy has not taken sufficient action to reduce federal spending. Former President Donald Trump is currently facing a civil fraud trial in New York. Prosecutors have accused him of inflating the value of his properties significantly, by billions of dollars, in order to obtain loans from banks. One specific example mentioned is Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, which his lawyers claim is worth at least $1 billion, in contrast to the $18 million valuation suggested by prosecutors.

Elon Musk's visit to the Texas-Mexico border continues to draw attention to issues surrounding immigration and border security. Notably, 21 Republicans voted alongside Democrats against the continuing resolution, which would have given the government 30 days to secure full funding.

Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson and Glenn Beck's chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, join the show to discuss the Left's move to replace Biden. Yesterday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released evidence that Hunter Biden did in fact receive money from China back in 2019, yet again showcasing that President Biden is not telling the full truth about his son's business dealings. While that is happening, they are actively investigating the president's mishandling of government documents while vice president and Delaware senator. President Biden's dog Commander is also in hot water for biting a Secret Service officer this week. This will be the 11th time the commander in chief's dog has bitten someone at the White House. The city of Philadelphia experienced a spree of looting and vandalism recently, with a group of around 100 juveniles moving from store to store and looting various businesses, including Foot Locker, Apple, and Lululemon. An Instagram influencer known as Dayjia Blackwell, who goes by the name Meatball, livestreamed the chaos on her Instagram page, and she was subsequently arrested during the incident. Britney Spears recently shared a video on Instagram where she was seen dancing while holding large kitchen knives. In her caption, she assured her followers that the knives were not real and that it was in preparation for Halloween. She later posted another video, explaining that she was simply "copying Shakira." Britney Spears' life has been under public scrutiny, especially since the termination of her conservatorship in 2021.

BlazeTV hosts Chad Prather and James Poulos join the show to discuss a new Washington Post/ABC poll that was released over the weekend, which raises concerns about Biden's re-election campaign. In an unusual turn of events, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill late Friday night that would have required judges to consider whether parents have affirmed the gender identity of their children amid custody disputes. This decision has sparked a debate: will the Democratic Party consider Newsom as a replacement for Biden in 2024? New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez believes he will be exonerated in his upcoming case, where he faces three criminal counts: conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion. He is accused of having an improper relationship with three New Jersey businessmen who allegedly paid him and his wife in exchange for using his influence in Washington, D.C. During an appearance on "Meet the Press," Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her belief that Menendez should step down and resign. Congressman Matt Gaetz is not backing down from his calls to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy if McCarthy doesn't agree to the terms Gaetz has set for the spending bills that are crucial for keeping the country running. The country faces the possibility of a government shutdown in six days if a bipartisan agreement isn't reached at the 11th hour.

Garland fielded questions from congressional members on a range of topics, including the Hunter Biden investigation and the January 6th protests. Garland notably declined to address probing questions regarding his relationship with the FBI and special counsel David Weiss, refusing to confirm any involvement in the Hunter Biden investigation or any communication with the FBI.

Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson and digital strategist Logan Hall join the show to discuss the news that the Department of Justice has indicted President Biden's son, Hunter, on three federal gun charges stemming from his alleged drug use at the time of purchasing a firearm in 2018. During a recent interview, Megyn Kelly challenged former President Donald Trump on COVID and his relationship with former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci. Trump has faced criticism from the Right for his handling of the pandemic. While attempting to defend his actions, Trump expressed his belief that he did not receive enough credit for his contributions to the country during the pandemic. President Biden is facing scrutiny for making a false claim about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11, when in reality, he was in Washington, D.C., on 9/12/2001. His National Security Council spokesman, John Kirby, attempted to address the situation, but the discrepancy remains. The White House has released the total cost to taxpayers for the Ukraine war, and the figure is astonishing. Today's Sponsors: Stop supporting companies that don’t align with your values.

Utah Senator Mitt Romney announced today that he will not seek a second term. Romney's decision not to run for re-election was heavily influenced by his belief that a second term, which would take him into his 80s, probably would be less productive and less satisfying.

BlazeTV host Chad Prather and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss how the New Mexico governor overstepped her executive power and attempted to disarm law-abiding citizens by suspending the Second Amendment. Another example of the two-tiered justice system that plagues the country is a North Dakota resident who got five years in prison for killing 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson because he believed the teenager was a "Republican extremist." Shannon Brandt drove over the teen and initially failed to call the police. Brandt left Ellingson to die alone but later called the authorities to tell them what he had done. President Joe Biden bailed on 9/11 survivors today, choosing to speak in Alaska over visiting one of the three sites that were attacked 22 years ago.

BlazeTV contributors Eric July and John Doyle join the show to discuss the recent announcement that Rep. Nancy Pelosi is seeking her 20th term in Congress. With a post on X, Pelosi declared that she will be running for re-election to "advance San Francisco values and further our recovery" but fails to say how she will help the United States. President Biden managed to avoid contracting COVID-19 after Dr. Jill Biden tested positive this week. Despite CDC protocol recommending that Biden wear a mask, he laughed it off and humorously asked reporters not to mention his choice not to wear one. New York City children went back to school yesterday, but not all had a seat when they got there. 21,000 students were turned away due to the arrival of migrant children. Climate activists disrupted the U.S. Open yesterday, staging a protest from their seats that garnered significant attention and caused a match to be stopped for nearly an hour.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss special counsel David Weiss' latest effort to indict President Joe Biden's son Hunter. Weiss cited the Speedy Trial Act, which will allow him to get an indictment from a grand jury by the end of the month. Hunter's attorney still remains positive that the gun charge agreement, which could possibly keep Hunter out of jail, will stick. Allegations that Barack Obama had a sexual affair with Larry Sinclair back in 1999 have resurfaced this week after Tucker Carlson interviewed Sinclair on his X show last night. A federal judge in Texas gave Biden a big win this week by forcing Texas Governor Greg Abbott to remove the buoy barrier from the Rio Grande. Governor Abbott’s office said it plans to appeal the ruling. New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke at a town hall last night and bashed President Biden’s immigration policies and warned that the migrant crisis is destroying his city. Suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment trial hearing is heating up as it goes into a third day. Paxton faces 20 articles of impeachment from the Republican-controlled Texas House, but the Senate adopted only 16 of the 20. Paxton is in the fight of his life, defending himself against accusations of disregard of duty, constitutional bribery, conspiracy, and dereliction of duty. Georgia Republican Attorney General Chris Carr announced Tuesday that he has indicted 61 radicals from the Defend the Atlanta Forest group under the same RICO statute that DA Fani Willis used to charge Trump.

Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson and Glenn Beck's chief researcher Jason Buttrill join the show to discuss Congressman James Comer and the House Oversight Committee's latest attempt to catch the Biden Crime Family in action. Comer demanded that the National Archives provide his committee unrestricted, unredacted special access to a series of records reportedly relating to the Office of the Vice President colluding with Hunter Biden’s business associates during Joe Biden’s tenure. Allegedly, the FBI leaked false information to the New York Times, claiming that allegations against Hunter Biden came from Rudy Giuliani. That false information was then forwarded to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to throw off his investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax fraud. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a Washington-based watchdog group, filed a lawsuit to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 Colorado ballot. The United States Supreme Court is set to hear later this month a case that would decide whether Trump will be kicked off the ballot. Liberty Safe, one of the largest gun safe manufacturers in the country, is taking heat after giving a private citizen’s access code to the FBI during a raid on the citizen's home.

BlazeTV host Chad Prather and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show with Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker to discuss how everything you have been told about January 6 is wrong. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released the January 6 footage to only a small group of people, and we are among them. Baker discusses how hard it is to review the footage and why officials aren't telling the whole truth about that day on Capitol Hill. President Biden came under fire this weekend for telling reporters that he is not always on vacation and that he does not have a home to go to. The White House announced yesterday that the first lady has tested positive for COVID and is resting at her home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. President Biden is being tested regularly and watched for any symptoms. CNN host Michael Smerconish confronted Anthony Fauci on his show Saturday with a study that showed masking made little to no difference in the course of COVID-19.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere and contributor Eric July join the show to discuss how BlackRock and Vanguard are choosing financial profits over social issues. Is ESG finally making its way out the back door? Sara and the panelists discuss how the largest investment companies are turning their backs on climate and social issues to help make their clients more money. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to pull the wool over the American people's eyes this week by claiming that Biden has secured the border better than anyone else while also claiming that he is making larger pathways for illegal aliens to gain residency through "parolee programs." Jean-Pierre ignored the fact that this so-called "single largest month-to-month drop" came about only because illegal immigration along the southern border has skyrocketed to record levels under the Biden administration. Trump got HUGE news last night: a Georgia judge has granted access for the public to view his upcoming trial through the court's YouTube page.

BlazeTV contributors John Doyle and Jaco Booyens discuss the recent sentencing of a former Proud Boy who participated in the events on January 6, 2021. Former Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs was sentenced to 17 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. The judge ruled that Biggs qualified for a terrorism sentencing enhancement because he tore down a fence that stood between police and rioters. The ACLU is demanding Indiana taxpayers pay for a male prisoner, who brutally murdered his 11-month-old stepdaughter, to get a fake vagina. An Oklahoma City elementary school hired a new principal who happens to moonlight as a drag queen during his time off and has been doing so for almost the last 20 years.

BlazeTV media critic Rob Eno and Glenn Beck's chief researcher Jason Buttrill discuss Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell's medical scare during a press conference today. This makes twice that the Senate minority leader has frozen up during a public appearance. Some are calling into question his ability to lead the Senate and continue his time in Congress. Del Bigtree joins the show to discuss a CDC post that warns people not to rely on masks to protect them from wildfire smoke. This leads some to wonder how masks can help keep people safe from COVID if it can't protect them from smoke. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. This makes him the first candidate to drop out of the race. Portland Public Schools will no longer be allowed to give students zeros for cheating or missing work, per the district's new “equitable grading policy.” California’s attorney general filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Chino Valley Unified School District Monday because the district adopted a policy that would inform parents when their child has told teachers or administrators they want to go by another name or gender. Attorney General Rob Bonta feels this new policy would hurt students. Today's Sponsor: Birch Gold makes it easy to convert an IRA or 401(k) into an IRA in precious metals. Here’s what you need to do.
