FDA launches major crackdown on toxic food dyes



Dr. Marty Makary with the FDA has announced that the government will be banning all petroleum-based chemicals from the American food supply — which will largely include food dyes.

“Today the FDA is taking action to remove petroleum-based food dyes from the U.S. food supply and from medications. For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals,” Makary said in a public statement.

“The scientific community has conducted a number of studies raising concerns about the correlation between petroleum-based synthetic dyes and several health conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, genomic disruption, GI issues, as I’ve seen in the hospital, and allergic reactions,” he continues.


Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” couldn’t be happier, asking, “Oh, wow, we can trust the experts again?”

While she’s grateful, the move to ban these harmful chemicals is long overdue.

“The facts are, these dyes — they’re not just unnecessary. They’ve been proven harmful time and time again, especially to our children. And even though we have been consuming all of these for decades, people seemed to just not care — the people who were put in charge of making sure that we are safe,” Gonzales says.

“I mean, what the hell else is the Food and Drug Administration for? What the hell else is the CDC for? What the hell else are all these departments for, if not to make sure that they are overseeing that Americans are not consuming poison? And time and time again, we have seen that for decades they have been doing the exact opposite,” she continues.

“They have just been poisoning us, and they know it, and you know that they know it, because other countries have already been like, ‘Yeah, that’s a proven carcinogen. We’re removing it. Yeah, that’s proven to cause harm to children. We’re removing it,’” she adds.

Trump’s First 100 Days: 3 key moments from Glenn Beck’s exclusive interview



Yesterday, Glenn Beck sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump to review his first 100 days in office. Glenn is the first member of the media to conduct a 100-day retrospective interview, offering a unique window into the administration’s rapid progress.

It should come as no surprise that the duo broached a wide range of topics. From his unprecedented number of executive orders — 130 in just three months! — to the equally unprecedented number of injunctions he’s faced from a rogue judicial system, tariffs, the DOGE, and the border, a lot has happened in a short window.

But that’s what President Trump promised. He pledged to fix America quickly, and every day, he delivers on that promise more. The pace at which his administration is moving is indeed shocking and awe-inspiring.

This exclusive interview captures the energy and determination driving these historic first 100 days, revealing key insights into Trump’s vision and leadership.

Here are the top three moments from President Trump’s conversation with Glenn.

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on 'Judicial Insurrection,' Tariffs, and 100 Days in Office | Ep 429 youtu.be

1. Congress and codification

When Glenn asked President Trump about his extensive executive orders, which have addressed immigration, government reform, the economy, national security, energy, and cultural issues, he said, “There were just so many things the country needed” after Biden’s destructive term.

Isn’t that the truth?

Yet there’s a growing angst about getting these executive orders codified by Congress. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” aims to codify key policies, especially those related to border security, energy production, taxes, and deregulation, but its budget focus limits its scope, and GOP infighting between fiscal hawks and moderates has slowed the process.

However, President Trump told Glenn not to worry and expressed faith in Republicans, especially considering their seven-seat majority in the House, which gives them enough votes to pass the bill if they stay united.

“We’re going to codify, and we’re going to wait until after the bill has passed, and then we’re going to work on nothing but codifying,” he said.

2. Judicial insurrection

Glenn reminded us that Bill Clinton deported 12.3 million people; George W. Bush deported 10.3 million people and had six injunctions against him; Barack Obama deported 5.5 million people and had 12 injunctions against him.

But Trump, not even 100 days into his second term, faces more lawsuits than Clinton, Bush, and Obama combined.

“You’re 100 days in, and you have 190 cases against you,” said Glenn.

“It’s obstruction,” Trump agreed, condemning Democrats for trying to protect MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom they’ve painted as an innocent victim.

Regardless of the unprecedented judicial pushback that’s making deportations “so much more difficult than it should be,” Trump expressed confidence. “We’re getting it done, and we’re winning.”

3. Powering the AI revolution

“I think you’re going to be remembered as the AI president,” said Glenn.

“You are the first one to really talk about, really take it on.”

“AI is certainly very important, and we’re pressing it very hard. We have trillions of dollars being invested,” Trump said. However, AI takes “massive amounts of electricity,” more than “we have right now in our country.”

Even though it’s an enormous obstacle, Trump says he’s got a plan.

"We’re going to let them build their own electric plants,” he said, noting that “they can use nuclear [power] if they want.”

“We’re going to get it done very quickly,” he added.

“I call it a national emergency,” but “we’re going to be number one.”

To hear the rest of Glenn and President Trump’s conversation, including their discussion on tariffs, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, justice and accountability for major incidents of fraud, and Elon Musk’s role in the DOGE, watch the full interview above.

Colorado parents will lose custody for 'deadnaming'



Four new bills focused on protecting abortion care and “gender-affirming health care” are currently working their way through the Colorado legislature.

One such bill, H.B. 25, is focused on protecting “access” to this gender-affirming health care.

“Whenever you see that word 'access' used by progressives, what they mean is that they are forcing you to pay for something. They’re forcing the taxpayer to pay for something, to pay for transition so-called or to pay for abortion, and this grants access to people who maybe wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it without the help of taxpayer dollars,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” explains.

"This bill codifies protections for gender-affirming health care in state law. It mandates that all health insurance plans in Colorado cover 'medically necessary gender-affirming care,'" she adds.


“No gender-affirming care is medically necessary,” Stuckey says.

However, while concerning to begin with, there’s another part of H.B. 25 that puts parents and their custody of their children in jeopardy.

One part of the bill, known as the Kelly Loving Act, was passed by the Colorado House on April 6 and now awaits review in the Colorado Senate.

“This is a very scary part of this bill,” Stuckey says. “The courts must consider deadnaming, all these euphemisms, misgendering, threats to publish material related to gender-affirming care — so like outing someone — as coercive control when determining parenting time and child custody.”

“They must look at all of these things when they are determining parental custody, like a divorce custody battle, when it comes to how these parents treat their children,” she explains.

“So, they could accuse a parent of coercive control if a parent, for example, threatens to publish the individual's sensitive personal information, including sexually explicit material or material related to gender-affirming health care services or make reports to the police or authorities or deadnaming or misgendering the individual or individual’s child,” she continues.

An example Stuckey uses is a woman who is in a custody battle and is getting divorced from her husband who has now declared that he’s a woman. If she continues to call him Frank when he wants to be called Sally, the judge has to consider this in the custody battle when awarding custody to parents.

“So, the parent who acknowledges reality, acknowledges the reality of their ex-spouse’s gender or acknowledges the reality of their child, refuses to affirm these newfound identities, then that parent could be punished and should be punished, really,” Stuckey explains.

“Basically, the state will steal your child from you, will take away your custody rights from your child, if you affirm biological reality,” she adds.

Texas House's SHOCKING plan to honor abortion icon unravels



In a major shock to all pro-life Texas conservatives, the Republican-led Texas House just tried to honor the life of Cecile Richards — a former Planned Parenthood president.

While memorial resolutions are a long-standing tradition that involve honoring the lives of people who have passed in their district, this one stood out. The resolution was submitted by Democrat Representative Donna Howard.

“They wanted to honor Cecile Richards, the former president of the Planned Parenthood of America, that was the intention. That is diabolical. This woman was responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn babies, and the Texas House was set to honor her memory,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” explains, disgusted.


“Texas, the very same state that is supposed to be pro-life. We are supposed to be a pro-life state with a Republican legislature voted in by your constituents,” she continues, noting that they made a “conscious decision to honor the ringleader of baby killers” and a “woman who made her career” on the idea that babies don’t always deserve to live.

“Tell me how a pro-life state could even consider something like that? And yet, there it was on the Texas House floor,” she adds.

While the resolution was shot down by his Republican colleagues, Texas Republican and House Representative Jared Patterson was also in favor of memorializing Richards.

But the betrayal gets worse.

“So there was another layer if you will to how deep this disgusting act goes, because it also happened to be in the same memorial resolution as conservative pro-life activist Jill Glover, who unfortunately passed away from cancer last year,” Gonzales explains.

“Now, being a conservative activist, she quite literally fought against everything that Cecile Richards stood for,” she continues, asking, “So how could a true conservative, in good conscience, sign off on a resolution honoring a woman who made it her life’s work to kill as many babies as possible in the womb? How could a true conservative even send this to the floor?”

Destruction of male-only spaces needs to stop — if we want masculinity to survive



The fight for women to maintain their spaces without males infiltrating them is important and only just beginning — but they’re not the only ones whose sacred spaces are being threatened.

“We’ve had this debate here over the past few years about women’s-only spaces and how guys who say that they’re women seem to be invading them quite a bit, and I think that’s set off the appropriate amount of outrage,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” tells Independent Women’s Forum senior legal analyst Inez Stepman.

“We’ve been having this huge national conversation mostly spurred by people of one sex who claim to be the opposite sex, and of men, biological men, invading women’s spaces. And of course, that’s a big deal in some ways, more sort of direct or obvious or urgent, when we see girls losing sports competitions and in a totally unfair way,” Stepman explains.


“Or even we see women’s safety threatened in prisons because we’re putting male sex offenders who claim that they’re women in women’s prisons,” she continues, noting that when the tables are turned and it’s men losing their spaces, it's a “slower burn.”

“Slowly, one by one, since the 1990s and early 2000s, there have been virtually no organized spaces where men can gather together and know that there won’t be any women around, and I think that’s been a negative,” she adds.

And this has been affecting their social lives gravely, as one in four men under 30 don’t consider themselves to have any close friends.

Stepman believes this to be a consequence of not only having fewer and fewer male only spaces, but also the modern obsession with sexualizing male friendships.

In a piece she wrote for National Review on this topic called “Men Need Single-Sex Spaces Too,” Stepman uses Frodo and Sam from "The Lord of the Rings" as an example.

“There’s all those gay jokes; it seems homoerotic to people because we’re so unfamiliar with the idea of close bonds and close friendships,” she explains, adding that even the military has now been infiltrated by women.

But it doesn’t stop there. Once just for boys learning survival skills and, ultimately, how to be men, the Boy Scouts are now allowing girls to join.

“I just think we have lost a lot by making sure that even the Boy Scouts is not allowed to be just for boys to learn how to be boys and grow up into men,” Stepman says.

“I think it’s really time to reconsider that cultural push,” she adds.

Young people are FLOCKING to the Catholic Church — here’s why



According to several recent reports, including one from the National Catholic Register, we’ve seen a huge surge in Catholic conversions — especially among younger generations. A recent New York Post article highlighted the “growing number of young people turning to the Catholic Church from other denominations, religions and even no faith at all.”

What’s behind this sudden flocking to Catholicism?

Glenn Beck says that people are drawn to Catholic rituals because they offer order and meaning in this era of progressive chaos.

He reflects on Michelle Obama’s infamous 2008 speech, during which she claimed that “we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.”

A decade and a half later, and it’s clear that uprooting tradition results in division, displacement, and disorder.

Tradition, Glenn explains, is “deeply human” and serves to “mark moments that matter in our lives” and “helps organize things in our mind.”

Catholicism, which is predicated on tradition, can restore the emptiness our current culture has adopted.

“Rituals in Catholicism — the Eucharist or the confession — elevate this instinct, this need to the sacred, so it’s not just a routine; it is a bridge to meaning,” says Glenn. “That matters because when you have meaning and there's a storm in your life, it gives structure so it doesn't feel like the storm is just going to wipe you out entirely.”

Modern worship doesn’t seem to offer the same stability as traditional worship. The Post article notes that “Gen Z crave clarity and certainty” and are therefore “rejecting lax alternatives of modern worship.”

“Why? Because modern worship tells you you can believe anything; there are no real rules,” says Glenn.

The problem is, that kind of progressive doctrine lacks substance, which is what the human soul is designed to thirst for. Ritual and tradition can offer a solution because they “build communities — like a congregation singing together in unison or a neighborhood block party,” says Glenn.

“We now live in a world of screen and rush,” he explains. But rituals and traditions “will slow you down, make you present in the moment.”

“They're not about rules; they're all about meaning if you do it right. This isn't about recognizing one faith over another. This is about recognizing what rituals do for us.”

‘Permanent dystopia’: Former OpenAI researcher warns of ‘reckless race’ for AI control



AI development companies like OpenAI and Google DeepMind are in a "reckless race" to build smarter AI systems that may soon become an “army of geniuses.” While that may seem like a good idea to those behind the technology, it might spell disaster for mankind.

“It’s going to be very thrilling — and also very scary,” former OpenAI researcher and AI Futures Project Executive Director Daniel Kokotajlo tells Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“It’s the stated intention of the CEOs of these companies to eventually build superintelligence,” he continues, noting that “superintelligence is fully autonomous AI systems that are better than humans at absolutely everything.”

“That sounds like a movie that we’ve all seen,” Glenn comments, concerned.


“They totally have seen those movies,” Kokotajlo says of those behind the push for superintelligence. “And they totally think, yes, it could go really bad. In fact, that’s part of the founding story of some of these companies.”

“Lots of people at these companies, especially early on, basically had similar thoughts of, ‘Wow, this is going to be the biggest thing ever. If it goes well, it could be the best thing that ever happens. If it goes poorly, it could literally kill everyone or do something similarly catastrophic like lead to a permanent dystopia,’” he continues.

One major issue that could lead to the latter is that those who end up running these companies or are in high-up positions at them are not the ones who are concerned about where this is all headed.

Those who are concerned — like Kokotajlo — are the ones who quit who walked away from millions in equity.

Kokotajlo tells Glenn that he walked away when he was told there was going to be a large focus on addressing questions like, "How do we make sure that we can control the AI when they’re smarter than us?” As time went on, he noticed there was little to no effort being put toward addressing these questions.

“That's just an example of the sort of thing that made me quit,” he explains. “We’re going to build anyway, even though we don’t understand it, don’t know how to control it, and, you know, it’s going to be a disaster. That’s basically what caused me to leave.”

Shannon Sharpe hit with $50 million lawsuit as brow-raising audio clip emerges



Professional football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe is facing a $50 million civil lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, battery, and emotional abuse. The plaintiff, referred to as "Jane Doe" in court documents, alleges that during their two-year "rocky consensual relationship," Sharpe raped her twice, recorded sexual encounters without consent, and threatened her.

In an audio clip released to the media by the plaintiff’s attorney, a woman says, “Don’t manipulate me,” to which Sharpe responds, “Oh, Lord have mercy, if you say that word one more time, I'm going to f*****g choke the s**t out of you when I see you.” The woman then sheepishly replies, “I don’t want to be choked.”

Sharpe has vehemently denied the allegations, alleging that the clip was intentionally edited to misrepresent a consensual interaction.

In a recent public statement, he called the lawsuit “a shakedown,” identified the plaintiff as OnlyFans model Gabriella “Gabbi” Zuniga, and claimed that it was “all being orchestrated by Tony Buzbee,” Gabbi’s attorney.

“Tony Buzbee targets black men, and I believe he’s going to release a 30-second clip of a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty and play in to every stereotype you could possibly imagine,” Sharpe said.

He went on to allege that the sex tape was actually “10 minutes” and that the encounter took place “at her invitation.” He accused Gabbi of coordinating “a deliberate setup” and Buzbee of editing the video to “manipulate the media,” promising to meet their lawsuit with a defamation countersuit.

Jason Whitlock and “Fearless” guest Shemeka Michelle dive into the scandal.

Jason believes that Sharpe’s public persona is a significant factor in this controversy. He puts two and two together: If the phone call was consensual, as Sharpe insists it was, then the choking threat must have meant he was playing a character, as he often does on television.

“A lot of times, a character takes on a life of its own that's out of control and will get the real person in a lot of trouble,” says Jason.

“It's not the first time I’ve heard a woman — a young woman — claim [she was] choked by Shannon Sharpe,” he adds, noting that he used to work with Sharpe at Fox Sports a few years ago.

But that doesn’t mean he’s on team Gabbi necessarily. Tony Buzbee’s lawsuit record does include the names of several high-profile black men, including Jay-Z, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Deshaun Watson.

But Jason doesn’t assume Buzbee is just “out to get black men.” What he’s actually after is “doing the bidding of women,” he says.

Shemeka agrees, acknowledging that it’s true that women engage in these relationships with celebrities for the explicit purpose of getting rich.

“I am going to be one of these people to wait to see what information comes out,” she says, noting that if the full context of the phone call between Gabbi and Sharpe is released, it could very well prove that the exchange was part of a role-playing game.

Even if that’s true, Jason thinks Sharpe should know better.

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” he says.

Trump 2.0: ‘Bloodless revolution’ has the deep state in full meltdown mode



On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding.

Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson and President of the Claremont Institute Ryan Williams don’t believe the occasion could have come at a better time.

“It’s a happy coincidence,” Williams tells Peterson, “because in many ways, what we’ve been calling for for a long time is a second American Revolution. Bloodless, of course, but institutionally, which is to say, to finally get a handle on the large bureaucracy that has been governing all aspects of our lives.”

While America does need those with expertise in government, Williams explains that we should “be controlled by constitutional officers” rather than “bureaucrats who can never be fired.”


However, most on the left — and some on the right — don’t see it that way.

“They think all efforts to reform it or defund it or start firing more bureaucrats, this is somehow all illegitimate,” Williams tells Peterson. “And I think it’ll be our job to tell people to connect the founding and constitutionalism to that project, and to illustrate to people that it’s really a way to return control over their government to them, and really to return prosperity and flourishing to America.”

And the two do not see the president failing in his goal to reform the government and make America a better place, as this is Trump’s second chance at accomplishing his goals — which Peterson calls “Trump 2.0.”

“The big difference is he has a loyal team for the most part. Trump 1.0, he had to rely on the establishment apparatus in many instances,” Williams says. “He had a bunch of principals around him who thought it was their God-given job to control him and prevent him from somehow destroying America, which was ridiculous.”

“I think it’s almost providential that he lost in 2020,” he continues, adding, “They had time to really think about this, and draft up more plans, and you really have almost a new presidential term rather than a second term, which are notoriously deflating and deflated as they’re kind of lame ducks out of the gate.”

Climate doom propaganda: How the left celebrated Earth Day



Earth Day is one of the climate alarmists' favorite days to shove their propaganda down Americans' throats — but this year, the Washington Post was one of the few media outlets to put a positive spin on Earth’s impending doom.

“This Earth Day, there are some reasons to be hopeful about the climate,” reads the cheery headline.

“It’s not all doom: Innovators are reimagining how we power our lives, nature is pulling off surprising comebacks, cities are cleaning their air, and nations are opening their wallets,” the article explains.

“Obviously, spending money is the main way you can help the climate. It always is. If you ever want to help a climate organization, giving them cash is always the best thing you can do,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments.


However, there is some bad news.

“Donald Trump, right? Because you have the good news of the climate there, but you can't just take it like that. You got to understand that Donald Trump is doing everything he can to ruin the environment for you,” Stu explains, before pulling up another article from the Guardian.

“Tariffs will raise prices, but the climate crisis is the real inflation risk,” this headline reads.

The article goes on to claim that the "Trump administration has recently declared a war on climate change research inside the federal government and the wider U.S. research community, as well as doubling down on carbon-based business models.”

“But wishing the problem away won’t make it disappear. The real drivers of future inflation are not just tariffs, but the climate crisis and states backing off their decarbonization efforts,” the article goes on.

“The state is so effective at everything that it does,” Stu mocks. “If they honestly try to decarbon or to add more carbon to the atmosphere, they probably would fail spectacularly and actually wind up getting rid of a bunch of it. So maybe they should just try reversing their goals.”
