A dead scientist, quarantines, and a plague lab: Here we go again?



A researcher at a Russian plague laboratory is dead, dozens of people have reportedly been quarantined, and several hospitals have been shut down.

Naturally, people are starting to ask questions.

And BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau are a little concerned.

“Dozens have been quarantined after a researcher at a Russian plague laboratory dies of an unknown infection,” Stu says. “I will say, I don’t really want there to be Russian plague factories or observatories anymore.”

“No,” Dave agrees, “but what will be exciting is when we find out that our tax dollars have somehow been funding it.”


However, while dozens have been quarantined, Stu believes “it’s important to note, quarantine does not mean you have the virus or disease.”

“Being quarantined means they’re worried that you had contact with someone or contact with someone who had contact with this particular woman,” he says.

“So, it doesn’t mean all these people have the illness. However, it’s the freaking plague. So, we better be pretty careful,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Russia is saying it “had nothing to do with that.”

“It was just a normal illness. It’s no big deal. This is all out of a massive precaution,” Stu says, mimicking Russia. “Which may be true, but they did close down four different hospitals, three of which they have direct evidence of a contact tracing to those hospitals. The fourth one just kind of being out of extra, extra special security measures.”

The outbreak bears a striking resemblance to the Wuhan lab leak preceding the COVID pandemic, which Dave points out is “kind of terrifying.”

“Especially because this is, you know, a replay of things that have happened in the past,” he adds.

“You mean conspiracy theories about COVID-19?” Stu asks.

“Conspiracy theories about things that were proven correct. That’s what I mean,” Dave says.

French author tells Glenn Beck why she fell in love with America: 'It's endless'



Lea Martin arrived in America expecting to find the country she'd heard about her entire life: uncultured, superficial, and different from Europe in all the wrong ways.

Instead, she found something she never anticipated.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck has read her new book, "Dear Land of the Free," and he calls it “almost like a love letter” about his beloved country.

Martin explains that she wrote the book after she broke up with her ex-boyfriend and felt “disassociated.”


“I felt like, oh my god, I need to write this love letter to this country that gave me so much and helped me transform so much,” she tells Glenn.

“So, it’s just my whole love for this country that gave me so, so much,” she adds.

“What was it that flipped you … because I know what people say in Europe about America, and it’s almost a cartoon version of us. But what was it that you either saw that you were like, ‘Oh my gosh, I have this all wrong,’ and what flipped you to this?” Glenn asks.

“When I arrived in the U.S., I had so many cliches, and I’ve never dreamed about moving to the U.S. It just happened because of my ex,” she explains. “And then when I arrived here, I realized how wrong I was because we have so many cliches around food, around Americans, around so many things here.”

“And I realized I was so wrong,” she says, noting that “one of the biggest cliches” is that Americans are “uncultured” because they don’t travel as much as Europeans.

“And I’ve realized there’s a lot of nuance in this cliche,” she says.

“It’s so easy for us to travel because also the flight tickets there are way cheaper, while in the U.S. it's more complicated. This country is so huge. Like, when even I was in Pennsylvania, I did a road trip in Pennsylvania, and I was like, I’m still in the same state, but I can drive hours and hours and hours,” she explains.

When she road-tripped through Texas, she found the same thing, calling it “endless.”

“Each state has its own specialties, people, mindset. It’s so interesting,” she adds.

Justice Alito’s Practical Guide to Originalism

Almost 40 years ago, when he was still a new member of the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia gave a speech, later published as an essay, on how judges should interpret the Constitution. In "Originalism: The Lesser Evil," Scalia argued that judges should interpret the Constitution's words in accordance with how those words were interpreted by the generation that wrote and ratified them.

Chris Hansen is NOT a fan of new Robert Pattinson film 'Primetime'



Chris Hansen built his career confronting alleged child predators — adults who had agreed to meet up with children — but Hollywood is telling his story from a different angle.

An angle where, apparently, he’s the predator.

In “Primetime,” Robert Pattinson portrays the longtime "To Catch a Predator" host in a fictionalized take on Hansen’s career.

BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau are less than impressed with the film’s spin, especially considering Hollywood doesn’t hold any moral high ground when it comes to predatory behavior.

“It’s odd because Hollywood’s like, you know, we’re the industry falling apart because we’re, you know, the industry that’s been accused of pedophilia and grooming. So what we should do is make a movie about Chris Hansen where the pedophiles are the good guys,” Dave says.

“This is what fascinates me more than anything else,” Stu agrees, “because of course we live in the country that would … make the guy getting the pedophiles arrested into the bad guy."

Dave notes that having met Hansen twice himself, he found him to be a “genuinely good dude” who “actually cares about his work.”

Hansen isn’t a fan of the film either, explaining in an interview that even though he is not “the most objective reviewer ... since A24 made it without [his] consult or consideration, and they use [his] name, image, and likeness,” that the film is “pure fiction.”

“They mix in some reality here and there. At the end of the day, I wasn’t blown away by it either way. It’s a movie, and I’ll continue to do the work I do, and people can watch this movie and make up their own minds,” he added.

A Washington Post article also addresses the new film’s spin on Hansen’s career, titled “A new movie asks whether Chris Hansen is the predator. He’s sure of his answer.”

“‘No’ is his answer,” Stu laughs. “Quite obviously ‘no’ is the correct answer. It’s easy to detect because he was the people putting predators into prison.”

“Yes, that’s how you know he wasn’t the predator,” Dave agrees.

“The pitch on him being the bad guy, by the way, is all he cared about was ratings and he was exposing these losers and their weird sexual things to the masses for his own publicity and ruining their lives, which, at some level, parts of that storyline are true,” Stu says.

“I’m sure he cared about ratings, as every television person does,” he continues. “I’m sure he was trying to advance his career and make the show popular.”

"But … just because you’re a loser and just because, you know, you have a weird sexual thing does not make it OK to act on that with kids,” he adds.

Mamdani Strategy on Protecting Jews Is Denounced by Jews

The mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, a boycott-Israel activist since his college days who as recently as this month was denouncing the Israeli prime minister as a war criminal who should be arrested and prosecuted, rolled out a "strategy to combat antisemitism" that was immediately met with withering derision from the very Jewish community the strategy was ostensibly intended to protect.

‘Looksmaxxing’ king Clavicular built a brand on breaking bones. Now he’s charged with breaking a lot more.



Millions know him as Clavicular, the controversial influencer who helped popularize "looksmaxxing" — an online subculture obsessed with maximizing physical attractiveness by any means necessary.

But as BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau explain, the story surrounding the internet celebrity has become far more disturbing than viral videos about jawlines and self-improvement.

“We’re in this weird society where people can be massively famous, and you’ve never heard of them,” Stu says. “That’s kind of where I am with Clavicular until I did some deep research today preparing for this show.”

“He is a ‘looksmaxxing’ influencer,” he adds.


“This is a man who chiseled his face with a hammer,” Dave comments, explaining that it’s called “bone smashing.”

“The point of this is basically hitting yourself literally in the face with a hammer. Breaking the bones slightly, causing fractures, and then the bone was supposed to grow back to make you look more handsome,” Stu says.

“By the way, you should know this, this does not at all seem to be accurate about how the human body works,” he adds.

“It’s causing a lot of issues for a lot of people,” Dave agrees.

Clavicular has also been charged with allegedly raping a teenage girl, who claims that he lured her to his family’s $3 million Cape Cod mansion before exploiting her months later.

“He films everything that he does,” Dave comments. “Did he happen to turn off his backpack camera when this happened?”

“Well, apparently not,” Stu says, “when he was giving an underage girl alcohol and apparently injecting her face with some sort of serum.”

But those aren’t the only legal troubles Clavicular has faced. In February 2026, he was reportedly booted from a “fashion bash” and “attacked on a night out in New York,” before being arrested in March 2026 on a battery warrant.

The influencer was also charged with a misdemeanor after a viral video revealed an alligator being shot “repeatedly.”

“I know PETA won’t agree with me,” Dave says, “but they’re nasty lizard creatures, and I think they’re what’s remaining of the dinosaurs, and we don’t need them.”
