Slimy media attack on Pope Francis — or lack of moral clarity?



Pope Francis’ passing has rattled the world, but it was who he was believed to be when he was alive that Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” is focused on.

“The hallmark of his papacy, in my opinion, was confusion for the faithful, due partially to his Argentine liberation theology, or his theology that was informed by his experiences in very close relationship with Argentine liberation theology,” she says, noting that “he simultaneously denied” being part of the theology, which is a Marxist view.

“It’s also worth noting that Pope Francis differed significantly from his predecessors — his two immediate predecessors, Pope Benedict and Pope St. John Paul II — because Pope Francis did not seem to understand the power of the media,” she continues.


“He never seemed to push back when the media misinterpreted what he said, and that happened often, by the way,” she adds, explaining that most of the time he spoke in Italian or Spanish, which allowed what he said publicly to be interpreted by the American media.

“How it was translated by either international or American media was often incongruent. It was often reported inaccurately, what Pope Francis actually said, and the media, of course, we know, has a bias not only politically but theologically, spiritually, religiously,” Wheeler explains.

“And so, the media often portrayed Pope Francis as saying things that he didn’t say, because it’s what the media wanted him to say,” she adds.

While the media made the pope out to lean left, Wheeler notes that, actually, he was “against gender ideology.”

“And he was very clear about marriage being between one man and one woman,” she says.

However, the pope elevated priests like Father James Martin, who is advocating for changes to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, because he’s “an LGBTQIA+ lobbyist.”

“That’s confusing to me; that’s confusing to the faithful,” Wheeler says.

Pope Francis also once described abortion as “hiring a hit man to resolve a problem.”

“You cannot stand for life more strongly than that, and yet, at the same time, he stated that the church ‘cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage, and the use of contraceptive methods,’” Wheeler says. “He instead suggested a broader focus on social justice issues, and I find that to be confusing.”

“How can you acknowledge that abortion is murder? How can you acknowledge that an unborn child is a human person, with as much right to life as you, that this unborn person with a right to life is made in the image and likeness of our creator, and then dismiss it as just, like, one of many social justice issues?" she continues.

“One of the roles of the pope is supposed to be to speak with moral clarity. There should be no misinterpretation possible when a pope is speaking, especially one of the hot-button issues that is kind of rife with confusion in the first place,” she adds.

White House endorses COVID lab leak theory, but will anyone be held accountable?



On April 18, the White House publicly endorsed the COVID lab leak theory. The government’s official COVID website was also redirected to a new page titled “Lab Leak: The True Origins of COVID-19,” which contends that the virus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, and was leaked by accident.

The revamped site criticizes Anthony Fauci, David Morens, Andrew Cuomo, the WHO, EcoHealth Alliance, and the Biden administration, among others, for actively promoting false information and covering up the truth.

It cites five points to support the lab leak claim:

1. “The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.”

2. “Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.”

3. “Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.”

4. “Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”

5. “By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.”

After years of the Biden administration and his loyal media allies promoting a lie, it’s refreshing to see the government proclaim the truth.

But while Glenn Beck sees the website as “an amazing thing,” the information on it isn’t exactly news.

“Most of this stuff we had within six or eight months of the actual outbreak,” he says.

The real question is: “Who’s going to jail over this?”

The other question is: Why doesn’t the legacy media seem interested in correcting the narrative?

“Millions of people died here. You'd think that it would be something [the media] would focus on and draw a lot of attention to and continue to kind of beat the drum until someone was held responsible, and they don't seem to have any interest in that,” says co-host Stu Burguiere, noting that most of these outlets “have run an op-ed” about the lab leak theory and called it good.

“If we make a mistake, we correct it because it drives us crazy that we made the mistake, and I don’t want anybody to believe that I’m standing behind something that is wrong and a lie,” says Glenn.

The legacy media clearly doesn’t have the same convictions.

“They knowingly lied” about COVID, Joe Biden’s cognitive state, and Russiagate, and yet, “There’s no consequence.”

“They’re not going to lose any advertisers. The New York Times hasn't lost any real money because of this. Their people just continue to watch,” says Glenn.

Singularity: The elites' dystopian view of human beings



The singularity has been at the tip of many tech-savvy and global-elitist tongues as of late — and its implications are more than a little frightening.

According to Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic and senior fellow at the Heartland Institute, the definition of the singularity is a "hypothetical moment off into the future when technology advances to a point where it just is completely transformative for humanity.”

“Typically, the way it's talked about is artificial intelligence — or just machines in general — become more intelligent than human beings,” Haskins tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.” He goes on to say that some people describe the singularity as the time when AI "has the ability to sort of continue to redesign itself."


While Haskins notes that some of the consequences of the singularity are positive — like the potential to cure cancer — it also creates all kinds of ethical problems.

“What happens when a lot of employees are no longer needed because HR and loan officers and all these other big gigantic parts of businesses can just be outsourced to an artificial intelligence system?” he asks.

In response, Haskins says, “There’ll be massive disruptions in the job market.”

Stuckey herself is wary of the small issues we have now that might grow into bigger problems.

“People have posted their interactions with different kinds of AI, whether it's ChatGPT or Grok,” she explains.

She continues, “I've seen people post their conversations of saying like, ‘Would you rather’ — asking the AI bot — ‘Would you rather misgender someone, like misgender Bruce Jenner, or kill a thousand people,’ and it will literally try to give some nuanced take about how misgendering is never okay.”

“And I know that we’re talking beyond just these chat bots. We’re talking about something much bigger than that, but if that’s what's happening on a small scale, we can see a peek into the morality of artificial intelligence,” she adds.

“If all of this is being created and programmed by people with particular values, that are either progressive or just pragmatists, like if they’re just like, 'Yeah, whatever we can do and whatever makes life easier, whatever makes me richer, we should just do that’ — there will be consequences of it,” she says.

Stuckey also notes that she had recently heard someone of importance discussing the loss of jobs and what people will do as a result, and the answer to that was concerning.

“It was some executive that said, ‘I’m not scared about AI killing 150 million jobs. That’s actually why we are creating these very immersive video games — so that when people lose their jobs, they can just play these video games and they can be satisfied and fulfilled that way,” Stuckey explains.

“That is a very dystopian look at the future,” she continues, adding, “And yet, that tells us the mind of a lot of the people at WEF, a lot of the people at Davos, a lot of the people in Silicon Valley. That’s really how they see human beings.”

“Whether you’re talking about the Great Reset, whether you’re talking about singularity, they don’t see us as people with innate worth; they see us as cogs in a wheel,” she adds.

Does rapid retirement of Shedeur Sanders’ jersey forecast a Deion exit?



#2 has been scratched off the list of available jersey numbers for future Colorado Buffaloes players. Just three months after his college football career ended, Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders’ youngest son, had his jersey retired. It now resides in Folsom Field, the Buffaloes' home stadium.

Most athletes have to wait years for such an honor. Occasionally, the standard is bent for extraordinary players or in cases of tragic death. Neither applies to Shedeur.

Jason Whitlock says the move to retire his jersey screams nepotism and potentially foreshadows Deion’s exit.

Rashaan Salaam, the University of Colorado’s first Heisman trophy winner, had to wait 23 years for his jersey to be retired, says Jason. Compare that to Shedeur, who “after going 13-12, 1-8 against top 25 opponents” gets “spanked in his only bowl game appearance.”

“He’s like the George Floyd of college football, getting statues and tributes and memorials undeserved,” he adds.

In a press conference, Deion was asked about the controversial decision to retire Shedeur’s jersey. Clearly agitated, he snapped, “If his last name wasn't Sanders, we wouldn't have this discussion.”

“Yes, because if his last name wasn't Sanders, his number wouldn't be retired,” says Jason. “Deion Sanders has turned his son into his sugar baby; he's made him an idol.”

Sanders went on to argue that waiting years to bestow honor on someone is outdated and that we’re in the “now generation,” where instant gratification is the norm.

“I give you your flowers now; I'm not going to wait 20 years down the street, then to bring you back when you limping and barely walk or some tragedy happens to recognize your greatness and what you contributed to this program,” he said, noting that Shedeur and Travis Hunter, whose jersey was also retired, “deserve what they deserve right now.”

“Everything we get is right now; we want something, we order off Amazon right now. We ain't in no waiting generation no more. That's over. That’s a wrap on that,” Deion added.

While he may be right about the nature of our now-obsessed culture, it doesn’t mean we should embrace it as good.

“This is idolatry,” says Jason. “I’m embarrassed for Deion Sanders.”

“Fearless” guest Steve Kim adds, “When Coach Prime said if his name was not Sanders we wouldn't be talking about it, it’s the most unironic self-own I've ever seen. I'm like, ‘Yeah, Coach, we all agree.”’

“I know for a fact that a lot of the great Colorado Buffaloes that have that big shiny 1990 co-national championship ring, who built that program, they're not happy about this,” he says.

Steve argues that the real reason Shedeur’s jersey was retired is not because we’re in the “now generation” but rather because “at this point, Deion Sanders has the leverage.”

Jason agrees. “This to me screams this is Deion’s final year at Colorado” because if he was planning to stay, he would have waited longer than three months to retire his son’s jersey.

‘The racism of low expectations': Sunny Hostin says black people aren’t capable of getting IDs



Critics of voter ID who argue minorities are barred from voting because it’s too difficult for them to get to the DMV fail to see that their whining about marginalization is actually fueled by racism.

Take “The View’s” Sunny Hostin as an example. In a recent interview, Hostin said, “Black people don’t have cars, don’t have drivers licenses, so it’s sort of a vestige of post-slavery laws where black people had to prove their right to vote, and oftentimes they couldn't vote because they couldn't pass some crazy test or they didn't have the appropriate ID.”

“It's a brilliant notion that less voter ID laws allows more people to vote, and most democracies do it that way. We're the only ones that really don't do it that way,” she added.

“That’s an absolute lie,” says Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “The racism of low expectations might be the worst kind of racism of all.”

“Your normal run-of-the-mill racism — that's just based on ignorance. But this — the racism of low expectations — for that you have to believe, as so many of these left-wing elitist numbskulls do, that blacks are incapable of obtaining a photo ID, which is so incredibly demeaning,” he sighs. “It means that you believe they're too stupid, too lazy, too incompetent.”

“Not only can you not figure out how to obtain this impossible task of a photo ID or where such a thing might be located, but they also think you can't scrape together the five bucks” it takes to pay for an ID.

While Sunny Hostin might be dumb enough to actually believe that, Pat knows what the Democrat Party is really after: not equity but dependency.

Democrats need minorities to “have to depend on the benevolent benefactors on the left to continue to take care of them their whole lives,” he says, calling the notion “so condescending” and “so insulting.”

“But this is what the left has always done to minorities. They keep them dependent on their liberal lords and ladies — their betters. To them, blacks are just cattle, and they — the elitists — are the ranchers,” he explains.

As a result of minorities’ devotion to the Democrat Party, “they're going to continue to treat [them] like garbage, as they have for the past several centuries; they're going to continue to lead [them] around by the nose and make sure that [they] never exceed their incredibly low expectations,” says Pat.

Medicaid madness: The RINO plot to sabotage Trump’s spending bill



On April 10 in an effort to advance President Trump’s agenda, House Republicans narrowly passed a budget resolution aimed at tax cuts, border security, and military spending. Hard-line conservatives, led by House Freedom Caucus members like Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), demanded deep cuts to Medicaid to rein in bloated entitlements.

But that didn’t land so well with the RINOs. On April 16, twelve GOP moderates sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) threatening to tank the upcoming reconciliation bill if it slashes Medicaid.

With the GOP once again divided, conservatives now brace for a high-stakes showdown as committees go to war over the bill’s details.

“Is the House actually trying to eat itself alive, or is this just how things are done in D.C.?” asks “Blaze News Tonight” host Jill Savage.

“It’s kind of both,” says Blaze News senior politics editor and Washington correspondent Christopher Bedford.

“The way things are done is a lot of circular firing squads and eating their own, but at the end of the day, different congressmen come from different districts with different voter backgrounds and different needs, and some of those congressmen are going to be more responsive to liberal voters, less able to be Chip Roys on these sorts of matters,” he explains.

The dissenting letter, he thinks, was “more of a warning shot than a ‘we will not work with you’” declaration.

“Generally speaking, there’s no bigger wimp than a moderate Republican. … At the end of the day they derive their power from their closeness to Republican leadership, so if Republican leadership whispers no and barrels ahead, they almost without fail will break,” says Bedford.

Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson then raises a key question: How does the GOP reconcile Trump and Johnson’s former promises to protect or improve Medicaid given the budget resolution’s massive cut targets?

“It’s murky,” says Bedford, addressing Medicaid’s fate. “You have President Trump saying it's not going to get touched; you have conservative fiscal hawks saying it needs to absolutely get touched; and you have Mike Johnson who says yes to everyone in town.”

While “it's still all behind-closed-doors negotiations,” hopefully GOP leaders can at least work toward a Medicaid goal nobody should oppose: targeting fraud, abuse, and inefficiencies in Medicaid.

Maryland Democrat proves loyalty to Kilmar Garcia; shirks constituents to visit him



Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has been promoting his trip to El Salvador last week to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant who is currently sitting in an El Salvador prison.

President Donald Trump is not amused by Van Hollen’s leftist antics, and he made that clear in a Truth Social post, writing, “Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland looked like a fool yesterday standing in El Salvador begging for attention from the Fake News Media, or anyone. GRANDSTANDER!!!”

“I probably haven’t seen a public stunt face-plant as hard since my pal and friend Eric Bolling put ketchup on his hands to talk about how Obama had blood on his, and nobody got it,” Christopher Bedford, Blaze News senior editor for politics, tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”


“That he would go and leave his constituents,” he continues, “leave Maryland behind, go to a foreign country, post TikTok videos about it, post on Twitter about it, post on Instagram about it, go to a prison to demand the release of someone who’s not one of his citizens, someone who’s been affiliated with a gang, someone who an immigration judge and an immigration appeals court has found is affiliated with a gang.”

Meanwhile, Bedford notes that a Maryland mother of five was beaten to death by an illegal immigrant and only got a minor press release in response. Rachel Morin was only 37 years old when she was found dead near the Ma & Pa Trail in Harford County on August 6, 2023, a day after she left for a jog.

“Just to show you where his priorities are,” Bedford says, mocking Van Hollen, “‘I’m gonna fly all the way down to El Salvador, and you’re going to pay for it. And these are my constituents, the foreigners of the world.’”

“I’ve long written that Democrats care more about foreigners than Americans. Not all Democrats, but a lot of their politicians care more about foreigners than they do about their actual Americans,” he adds.

RFK Jr.’s new autism study: The health care industry’s biggest nightmare



The momentum behind the Make America Healthy Again movement is strong. In fact, it’s so strong that RFK Jr. has now claimed that Health and Human Services will announce multiple new studies on the role of environmental toxins in autism within only three weeks.

“Within three weeks, and probably, we’re hoping in two weeks, we’re going to announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental toxins are that are causing it. This has not been done before, and we’re going to do it in a thorough and comprehensive way, and we’re going to get back with an answer to the American people very quickly,” RFK Jr. said in his announcement.

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” couldn’t be happier.


“I love it because he’s so committed to giving us an answer. And he’s just being radically transparent about his process,” Wheeler says, noting that this is the biggest announcement from the Trump administration thus far.

“The point, though, is to differentiate between the monetary cost and the human cost of autism is incredibly important,” she continues. “It sounds so bold to say this, but autism is a very profitable business, and I’m not just talking about Big Pharma.”

“It’s hospital systems that deal with health crises that are due to autism diagnosis, doctors, and I’m talking both doctor’s networks and individual practitioners, we’re talking insurance companies, we’re talking therapists,” she explains. “There is an enormous infrastructure that profits off of autism.”

Which is why it sadly makes sense that those who profit from the illness are not pleased that RFK Jr. is attempting to find the real cause of it.

“He is going to need our support if he is going to be able to produce the results from the studies that are going to make a difference in our society, because there are many, many forces that are trying to impede him,” Wheeler says.

“But really, it’s not just him; what they’re impeding is the health and flourishing of our children,” she adds.

Here’s the ‘Truth About January 6’



Over the last four years, more and more information about what really went down on January 6, 2021, has trickled out. From FBI involvement to Capitol Police possible perjury, Blaze Media has been unveiling the bombshells that shatter the left’s anti-Trump insurrectionist narrative.

In our final episode of “The Truth About January 6,” BlazeTV is blowing that narrative wide open. We’ve got Capitol surveillance footage, conflicting timelines, and serious questions about Officer Harry Dunn’s story — the one he used to get rich and famous.

Blaze Media investigative reporter Steve Baker, who has studied Dunn’s every move for the last year and a half, says this exposé “will contradict everything he’s ever said about that day.”

In this episode, Baker dismantles Dunn’s story from beginning to end. From Dunn's morning briefing and his violent encounters with protesters to his efforts to save Rosanne Boyland and the tirade of racial slurs that drove him to weep, Baker, armed with ample video footage, shows that none of it ever happened.

“There is no other conclusion that can be made: Dunn is either a pathological liar, or he’s been conscripted by the left-wing establishment in D.C. to support their narrative,” says Baker.

The left’s lie that Officer Dunn is a “hero” deserving of praise ends with the release of “A Day in the Life of Harry Dunn: Part Three.”

Join us as we set the record straight. Our final installment of “The Truth About January 6” is streaming right now on BlazeTV. To watch the full investigation from the very beginning, subscribe to BlazeTV.

‘Deport them, no questions asked’: 2008 Hillary was a right-wing ‘extremist’?



While the Democrats fight tooth and nail to protect illegal immigrants, a resurfaced 2008 clip of Hillary Clinton reveals that once upon a time, they believed that what Trump is trying to do is the correct move.

“I think we’ve got to have tough conditions. Tell people to come out of the shadows if they’ve committed a crime. Deport them, no questions asked. They’re gone,” Clinton said in the 2008 clip.

“If they’ve been working, and are law-abiding, we should say, ‘Here are the conditions for you staying: You have to pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally, you have to pay back taxes, and you have to try to learn English, and you have to wait in line,’” she added.


“I don’t know who that was,” Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments, shocked.

“Head of the Republican National Committee?” Pat Gray jokes, adding, “That’s amazing, jeez.”

Clinton’s comments eerily seemed to be ripped from the same belief system as the Trump sdministration, as a recent statement by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reflects a similar sentiment.

“All foreign nationals present in the United States longer than 30 days must register with the federal government. Failure to comply with this is a crime punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both, As President Trump and Secretary Noem have both said, ‘If you register and you leave now, you choose to self-deport, you may have the opportunity to return later legally,’” Leavitt said.

“If not, you will be arrested, fined, deported, never to return to our country again. The Trump administration will continue to enforce our nation’s immigration laws. We will not pick and choose which laws to enforce. We must know who is in our country for the safety and the security of our homeland and for all American citizens,” she added.

“Yep, pretty reasonable,” Gray comments.
