Getting on a plane for Thanksgiving? You might want to read this first



Last week, a new Blaze Originals dropped. Titled “Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster,” the documentary exposes the internal rot of America’s aviation industry. The reality is, our skies aren’t as safe as they used to be. In the last year alone, the number of “close calls” — meaning that planes narrowly avoided crashing into each other — surged to three per week.

What happened?

While there are numerous factors contributing to this decline, there’s one issue that stands out among the rest — the Federal Aviation Administration has infused DEI into its hiring system.

Stu Burguiere tells Glenn Beck just how insane the policies are.

Because of DEI policies that unfairly weed out qualified would-be air traffic controllers, our current air traffic controllers are “overworked” because nearly every control tower in the country is severely “understaffed,” Stu explains.

Further, these policies are specifically “blocking white males from getting these jobs,” he tells Glenn.

Flying an aircraft “is a matter of life and death,” says Glenn. “This DEI stuff ... it's death! It should be [spelled] DIE.”

“In the end, [death] is what happens when you have unqualified people building bridges, flying planes, being your eyes in the sky,” he adds.

“I talked to a guy in the documentary who took the merit-based test to become an air traffic controller and got a 100 on it — a perfect score. Then they added another test called the biographical exam,” says Stu.

“It had really weird questions,” like, “Did you perform well in science in high school?” and, “If you say, ‘Yes, I did well in science in high school,’ you get penalized,” he explains. “To [the FAA], you're less likely to be a minority if you did well in science in high school, so you get punished for doing well in a subject that obviously would relate to what you’re doing.”

The man who made a perfect score on the merit-based test ended up “not getting the job,” likely because the biographical exam pinned him as a white male.

“Now [he’s] suing the government over it,” says Stu.

Glenn is horrified but not surprised by all of this. In fact, he was just on a flight that nearly crashed into another plane. To hear the harrowing story of how his plane suddenly “rocketed up” unexpectedly, watch the clip above.

‘Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster’ – Blaze Originals documentary available NOW



When most people go to the airport, they are preoccupied with thoughts of checking luggage, obtaining boarding passes, getting to the correct gate, and determining whether or not their carry-on will fit in the overhead compartment. They aren’t thinking about what’s going on behind the scenes in air traffic control.

Until recently, passengers have never had to think about the strangers up in the towers tasked with ensuring that planes don’t crash into each other on the ground or in the air. They’ve always trusted that these individuals are highly qualified and capable of ensuring their safety.

Unfortunately, those days of blindly trusting that air traffic controllers have a tight grip on the reins are long gone. BlazeTV’s Stu Burguiere lays it all out in the latest Blaze Originals documentary.

“Over the past year, the number of close calls between commercial airliners has surged to nearly three per week,” says Burguiere.

What changed?

Stu traveled to Chicago, South Florida, Denver, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., and met with experts in the field as well as government officials to seek answers to that question.

The results of his investigation are both harrowing and complicated.

From severe understaffing and absurd DEI hiring policies to outdated technology and a seemingly untouchable Federal Aviation Administration, the people managing 45,000 flights, three million travelers, and 29 million square miles of airspace every single day are not in a position to continue keeping our skies safe.

We can’t help but wonder: It’s been 15 years since the last fatal commercial airline crash, but is the golden era of flying coming to an end?

Join Stu as he digs into the air infrastructure scandal few others are willing to give attention to.

Don Lemon dramatically quits X; gets owned on abortion by a random man in the park



There’s nothing Democrats love more than making a scene, and Don Lemon is no exception.

In a recent video post and hand-typed letter, Lemon announced to the world that he would sadly be leaving the social media platform X.

“I’ve loved connecting with all of you on X, but it’s time for me to leave the platform,” he began in his letter. “I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”

Lemon also quoted a Washington Post article explaining that X’s recent decision to change the terms has turned it into a “hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.”


He finished his devastating statement by noting that he would be on the new social media platform BlueSky, where his Democratic friends can join him. The ex-anchor has also been quite active on TikTok, where he’s been posting man on the street-style videos — and some of them feature some clear self-owns.

“Women I’ve been talking to are really, really concerned, and they’re emotional, and I think a lot of them have a right to be,” Lemon said to a man in one short interview.

“Politicians aren’t perfect, they’re imperfect like everybody else. Trump’s rhetoric isn’t for everybody, his style isn’t for everybody, we got a lot of good things done under Trump,” the man responded to Lemon’s surprise.

“A woman’s right to choose is removed under Trump,” Lemon countered.

“That’s not the only issue in this world,” the interviewee shot back. “A percentage of the female vote went up 2%. So are those women crazy? I mean, it’s not 50%, but it’s high 40s, and he got that. So ask those women why they voted for Trump. So clearly, it wasn’t just abortion was the issue.”

“They’re concerned about the broken border; they’re concerned about crime; they’re concerned about inflation; they’re concerned about a lot of other things. So women are not one-dimensional. Men are not one-dimensional. And so if you’re upset about abortion, great. If that’s your prime issue, then go live in a state that’s pro-choice,” the interviewee continued.

“That’s easy for you to say as a man,” Lemon countered.

“Well, dude, it’s easy for me to say a lot of things. Sure, I’m not a woman, that’s why I don’t opine on abortion,” the interviewee said, nearly laughing.

Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” is impressed, noting that “he just owned Don Lemon.”

“He posted that on his own site,” Keith Malinak says through shocked laughter. “Kudos to rando guy in the park.”

The Injustice Department: Steve Baker pleads guilty to January 6 charges



Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker has been breaking down the January 6 trials of American citizens and exposing what he’s found for years now — and because of that, the hammer of the government came down on him as well.

Now he’s pleading guilty to four charges related to January 6.

“My decision was very easy after my sentencing hearing last Wednesday, which was of course the day after President Trump was confirmed to have won the election. I went through what I consider a brutal hearing in which the justice department, not only them but also the court itself, showed their inflexibility,” Baker explains to Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”


“They showed to me that they were going to not allow us to present my case as I've imagined in my mind for three years now, that I would ultimately present my case if I was charged. And then after being charged back in March of this year, I’ve had nine, 10 months now to build that case,” he continues, noting that the court denied him on every motion made.

According to Baker, he had “behaved completely, 100% professionally as a journalist” and the prosecution is in “violation of the First Amendment.”

Because the court denied Baker the right to present his case, he decided to plead guilty instead.

“I told my attorneys in a Zoom call that we made immediately after my hearing last Wednesday that I was not going to do this. I was not going to allow the government to put me through nothing more than a shaming exercise and to be quite frank, a 100% losing record for January 6 defendants,” he explains.

“There has not been a single exoneration, not a single acquittal, so I was going up against that buzzsaw if I did go to trial today,” he adds.

While Baker was just doing his job, so were many other journalists in attendance on January 6 who are not facing the same fate. And seeing the same thing happen to others, he believes that no defendant was given a fair chance based on their political leaning.

“Beginning with the Oath Keepers trial, which of course was the biggest, most publicized January 6 trial of all,” he says, “I saw how those defendants were denied the right to prevent evidence that was exculpatory evidence in their own trial, and yet, the government was allowed to present basically anything that they wished.”

Bitcoin and gold skyrocket after Trump victory — financial expert explains why



After former President Donald Trump declared victory last week, the value of Bitcoin, gold, and various stocks skyrocketed. Financial expert and author of “MoneyGPT” James Rickards knows why.

“The immediate reaction to the Trump election was stocks took off, and with good reason. His economic policies, less regulation, drill baby drill, basically getting rid of wasteful investment in what I call the ‘Green New Scam,’” Rickards tells Jill Savage and Stu Burguiere on “Blaze News Tonight.”

“So he has a lot of things that are going to be very good for stocks. However, there’s something bigger than Trump. There’s something bigger than the electoral process, which is the economy itself,” he continues, noting that in the next six to nine months, we may be going through a recession.


“There are a lot of signs of recession out there, so we may get off to a rough start, but the same thing happened to Ronald Reagan in 1982. He had one of the worst recessions in U.S. history but finished with very strong growth toward the end of his first term and into a second term,” he explains.

While Rickards believes that Trump’s presidency will overall be a good thing for the economy, he isn’t so sure about Bitcoin as a form of currency in general.

“I’ve studied Bitcoin for a long time,” Rickards says. “If you want to buy Bitcoin, knock yourself out. But I don’t really think of it as a form of money.”

“It’s really just a form of gambling. I don’t really think of it as an investment. There’s no use case for Bitcoin. Now, can you make money? Absolutely, a lot of people have. So my attitude is I’m not a Bitcoin-basher,” he adds.

As for gold, Rickards explains that the value of it isn’t actually getting higher.

“It’s not that gold’s getting higher, it’s that the dollar is collapsing in front of your eyes,” Rickards says. “What’s really happening is you’re watching your dollar evaporate. You’re watching the dollar crash.”

“The main reason is people are looking for alternatives to the dollar. I’m not saying the dollar is going away. You can’t totally get out of the dollar. It’s too big for that,” he adds.

‘Rocket fuel for the economy’: Why Trump’s plan to raise tariffs and abolish income tax is brilliant



In Donald Trump’s bombshell interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience," the president-elect floated the idea of abolishing the income tax as well as raising tariffs.

While Glenn Beck has historically been against heavy tariffs, Trump may have won “The Glenn Beck Program” host over with his explanation.

“I’ve always been against tariffs; however, I might be wrong,” Glenn says. “Donald Trump is making a good case when he’s talking about getting rid of the income tax because tariffs will raise the prices of things, especially if he does it the way he’s talking about doing it.”

However, if Trump lowers the income tax simultaneously, the economy would boom.


“We could make up that deficit and become a very powerful nation again. Tell me I’m wrong,” Glenn challenges economic expert and Heritage Foundation visiting fellow Peter St Onge.

“That’s absolutely correct,” St Onge replies. “The vast majority of economists go after tariffs, they attack Trump over tariffs, and I think they are looking at the trees for the forest here.”

“If you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it’s one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax, it is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy,” he explains, noting that Trump’s plan is reminiscent of the 1800s.

“That was before we had an income tax, was also before we had a Fed, and back then, the federal government had to live off tariffs,” St Onge says. “That was the greatest period not only of economic growth but of cultural achievement.”

“It was really the golden age of humanity, and the key there was that we did not have an income tax, we did not have a regulatory state, we did not have a Fed. So if Trump can take us back there, and all we have to do is like an 8% sales tax on Chinese stocks, that is the deal of the century,” he adds.

Sacrificing rights on the altar of abortion? Not this time, Kamala



The Democrats' method of fearmongering, lying, and name-calling surprisingly didn’t secure Kamala Harris a spot in the Oval Office — and Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” couldn’t be happier.

“Kamala Harris tried really hard to make you believe that miscarriage and abortion are the same thing,” Stuckey says, adding, “Kamala thought that she would be able to run exclusively on abortion. Every speech that she gave, every debate moment that she had, every interview that she offered, went back to abortion.”

“She will sacrifice any right that you have on the altar of abortion, and that is the only thing that she knew how to run on, because that is the only time she really sounds articulate,” Stuckey says, adding, “Which is completely demonic and depraved when you think about it.”

Not only has Kamala successfully convinced her voters to be terrified they’ll be faced with “forced births” despite abortion not even being on the ballot at a federal level — but her entire campaign was run on a hypothetical.


“Kamala Harris was asking that group of voters to vote based on a hypothetical that is probably not going to affect them. An abstract issue to them that is probably never going to impact their family. That is a difficult case to make when they are looking at things that really do affect their family in a tangible, physical way,” Stuckey says.

Those tangible things include the cost of living and crime — which have both skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration.

“What voters in general cared about more was being able to afford groceries and gas and being able to walk through their neighborhoods safely, communities, not being riddled with crime because of the purposeful and unmitigated importation of unvetted, military-aged illegal immigrants,” Stuckey explains.

"And so this campaign that she pushed, this deceptive strategy of convincing people that miscarriage and abortion is the same thing, and therefore you have to vote for the pro-abortion candidate, it just did not win,” she adds.

Not only was her abortion stance a failure, but her transgender advocacy was a major failure as well.

“People don’t want transgenderism,” Stuckey says, adding, “People don’t want its effects in their life. The idea that a man is a woman because he wears lipstick and a dress was the bridge too far.”

Undercover video reveals voter FRAUD in 2020 election — while ballot boxes burn today



If Kamala Harris wins the presidential election, will Americans believe it?

After shocking news about Colorado voter fraud has already been reported, and a ballot box has been caught on video being burned in Washington state, Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” answers that question with a resounding “no.”

“There was ballot fraud uncovered in the state of Colorado, and the secretary of state of Colorado said there’s nothing they can do about it. These fraudulent ballots, these votes were already cast, and they will be counted towards the outcome of the election,” Wheeler explains.


“That’s the most messed up thing I’ve ever heard,” she continues. “We should not for one second accept that. That means that in the state of Colorado, the tally of votes is already tainted. The next time a Democrat says, ‘Oh ballot fraud doesn’t happen,’ you point them to this story.”

But it’s not just the 2024 election, and it’s not just in Colorado.

A new undercover video from Steve Crowder’s team at “Louder with Crowder” shows a man claiming that they rigged the election in Atlanta, Georgia.

“The whole thing with the dome, when they was counting, you know, that was the big thing,” Joel Caldwell, director of operations for the Coalition for the People’s Agenda in Georgia, began in the video.

“That was the big thing here, was the counting of the ballots at the dome. They was all counting the ballots, and they told him there was a leak on the opposite side of the dome. Everybody needed to evacuate. So then when they all left, the Democrats went back in and started counting, and the Republicans went back to the headquarters,” he explained.

“When they were counting, I think during that hour, that stretch of that, it was only like, less than 100 votes was counted for Trump and just statistically, you’re downtown. There’s going to be more than 100 votes for Trump,” he added.

“Unbelievable,” Wheeler comments. “These Democrats just thumb their noses at us, don’t they? They thumb their noses at us because they don’t just commit crimes, they commit crimes so blatantly and so egregiously that we know they committed the crime.”

“They want us to know because they know that they’re going to get away with it,” she adds.

Inside Trump’s White House during the early pandemic: ‘The Coverup’ Episode 3 available NOW



Years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Matt Kibbe is still searching for answers. We know our corrupt government has no plans to tell the American people why they were banished to their homes, forced to wear masks, pressured to get an experimental vaccine, unconstitutionally censored, and lied to repeatedly. So he set out on a mission to dig up the answers U.S. citizens deserve.

In episode one of “The Coverup,” which is available on YouTube, Kibbe met with distinguished Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was silenced and threatened during the pandemic for daring to publish his research and voice his professional opinions that contradicted the COVID narrative.

In episode two, also available on YouTube, he met with Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) – the only man in the U.S. Senate who is still demanding justice for the atrocities committed by Anthony Fauci and agencies such the DOD and the NIH during the pandemic.

In episode three, which just dropped today on BlazeTV+, Kibbe partners with Scott Atlas, one of Trump’s coronavirus task force advisers, to expose what was going on behind closed doors at the White House while the rest of us were locked up in our homes.

Kibbe asks the questions: Why was Trump compelled to listen to Fauci and Birx? And what led to Atlas’ resignation from the task force?

‘Best advice from a celebrity’: LGBTQ star Chappell Roan won’t endorse Kamala Harris



Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence, and Hayley Williams of the band Paramore wasted no time endorsing Kamala Harris and citing her views on “reproductive rights” as a reason.

Yet one celebrity known for her leftist beliefs has shockingly refused to endorse the vice president: LGBTQ activist Chappell Roan.

“She is like a big old lib and LGBTQ advocate; she’s gay herself, and she dresses in drag as a woman,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” explains, noting that Roan is also “very sacrilegious.”

Now, Roan’s fans are allegedly angry with her for refusing to endorse Harris — but she doesn’t seem to care.

“I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change, so I don’t feel pressured to endorse someone. There’s problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote, vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city,” Roan told the Guardian in an interview.

Stuckey is impressed.

“That actually might be the best advice that I have heard from a celebrity, a liberal celebrity. Typically this is conservative-coded language,” she says, explaining that this type of response usually comes from “someone who doesn’t want to say that they’re voting for Trump.”

“But she’s not,” she continues, adding that Roan’s call to focus on local elections is “absolutely right.”

“We shouldn’t care this much about who’s running for president. It should matter a lot more what’s going on on the local level.”
