‘The moment that's going to stay with me for the rest of my life’: Auron MacIntyre on Trump’s unforgettable State of the Union



In his nearly two-hour State of the Union address last night, President Trump celebrated what he described as an extraordinary "turnaround for the ages" in his leadership, declaring America now "bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever" amid a booming economy marked by declining inflation, reduced gas and mortgage rates, rising wages, and a tightly secured border with no illegal entries reported in recent months.

He spotlighted aggressive immigration enforcement measures, stood firm on his tariff strategy, cautioned Iran against pursuing nuclear weapons while favoring diplomatic paths, floated new proposals like universal retirement savings access and curbs on institutional home buying, paid tribute to military veterans and the Olympic hockey squad, delivered pointed critiques of Democrats and previous administrations, and painted an optimistic picture of renewed national strength heading into the midterm elections.

But there was one singular moment that BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre says was genuinely unforgettable.

“The moment that's going to stay with me for the rest of my life is watching Iryna Zarutska’s mother with Erica Kirk and just the pain on her face in that moment and the fact that Democrats could not even in that moment summon a shred of humanity,” he says.

“I still don’t think that we have dealt with the psychic trauma again of that one-two punch of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska, and so I think that [Trump] highlighting that and, you know, showing the grief that is still there for that mother and knowing that we need justice, we need to end political violence, we need to end the soft-on-crime policy — I think those were all incredibly strong moments for him,” he adds.

Fellow BlazeTV host and SOTU panel member Steve Deace agrees that this was one of the most powerful, albeit enraging, moments of the entire event.

He points to a viral tweet from Turning Point USA Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer that shined a spotlight on the depths of Democrats’ hypocrisy.

Deace calls the close-up snapshot a “devastating” blow to Democrats.

“It’s a post of one of the Democrat members of Congress who did not want to stand during [the honoring of Anna Zarutska], and he’s got a Ukraine flag on his lapel. If that is not a portrait of where we are,” he scoffs.

“This is what the Democrats actually think of the Ukrainian people,” says guest and senior editor at Human Events Jack Posobiec.

Steve Deace: ‘3 money lines’ from President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union



In his State of the Union address last night, President Trump delivered a record-breaking, nearly two-hour speech touting a dramatic "turnaround for the ages" under his leadership, claiming the U.S. is now "bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before," with a "roaring" economy featuring falling inflation, lower gas prices and mortgage rates, rising incomes, and a secure border with zero illegal entries in recent months.

He also highlighted immigration crackdowns, defended tariffs, warned Iran against nuclear ambitions while preferring diplomacy, proposed initiatives like universal 401(k)-style retirement access and barring institutional home-buying, and honored veterans and the Olympic hockey team, while taking jabs at Democrats and past administrations and projecting national revival ahead of midterms.

But amid the gamut of issues the president covered, BlazeTV host Steve Deace says there were three critical lines — and it was Democrats who ironically teed them up.

“Take it from someone who spent a year trying to fight Donald Trump in the 2016 primary as a strategist for the Ted Cruz campaign. Do not give Donald Trump a foil,” he laughs.

“That's like handing Popeye spinach. That's like Hulk Hogan hulkin’ up in the ring. Do not give Trump a foil, okay? And [Democrats] did that tonight.”

In response to Democrats’ behavior — sitting stoically, refusing to stand when Iryna Zarutska’s mother was honored, and even heckling in some cases — Trump threw zinger after zinger, drawing big Republican applause.

“I thought there were three money lines in this speech,” says Deace.

  1. “Democrats are for illegal aliens; I'm for America.”
  2. “Democrats don’t want voter ID because they have to cheat to win elections.”
  3. “We're going to ban child gender mutilation surgeries all over America.”

“Without question, this is the kind of vision-casting our side desperately needed tonight to get back on message, to get back on mission, and I think this is exactly what the doctor ordered.”

Here’s what BlazeTV hosts are saying about Trump-Musk feud



President Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk have been at odds over Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," which Musk has criticized as a “disgusting abomination” that increases the federal deficit and undermines the DOGE’s cost-cutting efforts. Trump has declared the bill "arguably the most significant piece of legislation that will ever be signed in the history of our country,” praising its massive tax cuts, border security measures, and economic growth potential.

The public and politicians alike are taking sides. Some are eager to see the bill, which includes massive tax cuts, policies like no tax on tips and overtime, border security, and energy dominance, passed, as it will usher forth President Trump’s economic agenda. Fiscal conservatives, however, are concerned that the bill raises the debt ceiling and includes no permanent funding cuts, arguing that the country is on a one-way track to implosion if federal spending isn’t curbed.

Responses to Musk's claim about Trump in the Epstein files are varied as well. From outright dismissal and meme-making to urgent calls for investigation and transparency, conservative influencers are rejecting the accusation as baseless while Democrats and some media outlets are amplifying demands for the files' release.

Here at Blaze Media, our hosts are thoroughly exploring the Trump-Musk feud, dissecting its implications from every perspective. Below, discover a range of insights into the tensions between President Trump and Elon Musk.

Nicole Shanahan’s ‘Back to the People’ is coming to Blaze Media



Blaze Media and Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former vice presidential running mate, have teamed up to bring her podcast, “Back to the People,” to Blaze Media. Starting soon, the podcast will be available to BlazeTV+ subscribers on BlazeTV.

“Back to the People” features in-depth interviews and candid conversations with thought leaders, cultural critics, and the voices shaping the future of the country. Shanahan has a particular focus on the Make America Healthy Again movement and has been working tirelessly to help Americans live healthier lives.

Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon is excited that Shanahan is joining the network. “Nicole brings a unique perspective and a growing audience of Americans who are hungry for real dialogue outside the filter of legacy media.” He added, “We’re proud to support her vision and help her reach even more people who care about raising healthy families and Making America Healthy Again.”

Shanahan wants the Blaze Media audience to know that “we’re living through a time when trust in the mainstream media has collapsed — and for good reason. People want to hear real conversations that challenge the status quo, that speak to our values, our families, and our future.” She added, “Partnering with Blaze Media gives ‘Back to the People’ the platform to grow into exactly that — a home for truth-seekers, free thinkers, and those who still believe in the strength, wisdom, and resilience of the human spirit.”

“Back to the People” will be available on BlazeTV, YouTube, Spotify, BlazeLive, X, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you may get your podcasts.

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.

Glenn Beck and BlazeTV hosts REACT to last night’s presidential address



Last night, President Donald Trump delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress — his first presidential address since his historic return to the White House. His words were full of hope as he celebrated “the dawn of the golden age of America,” the long list of wins the administration already has under its belt, and the victories that have yet to come.

“I return to this chamber tonight to report that America’s momentum is back. Our spirit is back. Our pride is back. Our confidence is back. And the American dream is surging, bigger and better than ever before,” he said.

Throughout his 90-minute speech, President Trump continually returned to the most pressing issues that still face our nation: a hurting working class, an economy that is far from recovered, and millions of illegal immigrants who remain in the country, among others.

BlazeTV hosts Glenn Beck, Liz Wheeler, Allie Beth Stuckey, Steve Deace, Stu Burguiere, Jill Savage, and Matthew Peterson share their thoughts on the address.

“This speech was awesome,” says Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “This man was in command. He was untriggered by these ridiculous, silly people, like Al Green.”

Glenn points out that Trump’s composure is evidence that a shift has happened: The old Donald Trump was “reacting, reacting, reacting” and “always attacking” in response to the left’s incessant efforts to sabotage him. But now, “he blows it off” as Democrats spend all their time “attacking.”

The way the party has been acting since Trump’s return to the Oval Office is evidence that Democrats “don’t know who they are any more,” he says.

Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of “Relatable,” points out how Democrats “could not even muster the courage to clap, to honor the women who have been murdered by illegal aliens” or “clap for the little kid who was diagnosed with brain cancer.”

How they think that will “[work] on the American people” is beyond her.

Steve Deace, host of the “Steve Deace Show,” calls the Al Green cane-shaking stunt and the refusal to clap “on brand for the Democrats.”

Petulant liberal antics aside, the “line of the night,” he says, was when President Trump said “to the children of America: You are perfect the way God made you.”

Jill Savage and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson, hosts of “Blaze News Tonight,” were equally impressed with the speech.

Peterson praises the president’s ability to “[summarize] and [bring] together all of the things he has done” into “one big, beautiful speech,” which is so needed when much of the country either “isn’t paying attention” to what’s going on or is getting fake news from mainstream media.

“Trump is a master of rhetoric in the digital age,” he says.

Jill was heartened by President Trump reiterating that God saved him to make America great again.

“I think that he truly believes that,” she says. “He now knows that there is an end to his life. … He now believes that he is still on this earth to make a difference while he still can, and I think that is such a powerful thing.”

There was, however, one part of the speech that some of the hosts were concerned about.

Glenn says that when President Trump broached this particular subject, he found it “a little frightening.”
