Two leaders stand in the stark light of blame after horrific Minneapolis Catholic school shooting



On Wednesday, August 27, Robin (formerly Robert) Westman, a 23-year-old transgender-identifying person, opened fire through the windows of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis during a school Mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others. Westman, a former student, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, left behind writings and videos expressing hate toward multiple groups and an obsession with mass shooters.

“Minneapolis didn't just let a massacre happen. It helped make it happen,” says Jill Savage, BlazeTV host of “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

And two people stand under a harsh glare of blame: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D).

Minneapolis’ reputation was already waning thanks to the George Floyd riots and its defund-the-police crusade when Tim Walz made the state a transgender sanctuary in 2023.

But even though this move has proved disastrous, Mayor Frey has doubled down in his support for Minneapolis’ transgender community. “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity,” he said at a press conference on August 27. The next day, he reiterated the sentiment in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett.

“Should we be talking about the trans community and making sure that they feel our love and support, or should we actually be looking at the Catholics right now — the ones that were actually killed yesterday in that church?” says Jill.

“This is the 42nd or maybe 43rd attack on an American Catholic church this year alone in the United States. It is over 520 attacks on Catholic churches here since 2020,” says Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford.

“They’ve been satanic; they’ve been anti-Catholic; they’ve been pro-abortion; they’ve been pro-trans.”

But they haven’t been that surprising.

“Minneapolis and Minnesota have had an extreme tolerance for evil and promoting evil,” says Bedford, condemning the state's “permissive abortion laws” and policies allowing the state to take children away from parents who oppose "gender-affirming care."

Bedford stresses the need to investigate how things like cross-sex hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and mutilating surgeries impact a transgender-identifying individual’s behavior. Perhaps Westman was just a case of mental illness; perhaps there were drugs related to his gender transition that influenced his deadly actions. “I think that's something that's absolutely worth investigating,” he says.

As for Walz, Bedford says he “deserves condemnation for his anti-Catholic sentiments.” The woke governor denied Catholic schools' requests for security funding in 2022 and 2023, despite an $18 billion state surplus, leaving nonpublic schools without access to safety grants provided to public schools. He also allegedly denied Catholic school students access to Minnesota’s Postsecondary Enrollment Options program, preventing them from earning tuition-free college credits, despite their academic eligibility.

“These are the sorts of things that are going on in the United States and are being allowed by our politicians. … It's soft on evil, and it allows it to fester,” he says.

3 theories behind Bondi and Patel adding a co-deputy to Bongino’s FBI role



On Monday, August 18, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was appointed as co-deputy director of the FBI, a newly created position, to serve alongside Dan Bongino starting September 8.

This unusual move, announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, ignited a firestorm of speculation. Some theorize Bailey’s appointment is a prelude to Bongino's potential departure, or even Kash Patel’s, while others argue it aims to stabilize FBI leadership, advance Trump’s law and order agenda, or reshape the agency with politically aligned loyalists.

On a recent episode of “Blaze News: The Mandate,” Jill Savage, Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson, and senior politics editor Christopher Bedford dove into this controversy.

“I think fundamentally they need very talented people in extremely important positions to get the job done. ... [The FBI] is a large agency where a ton of reform is needed. It’s at the heart of the corruption that’s been allowed to fester in this country,” Peterson says. “So it would make sense to bring in someone who’s a very sharp, aggressive AG who’s done great work in Missouri and had a national impact.”

“That’s the positive, right? The negative is that there’s some things maybe that aren’t getting done that people think should get done, and they feel that there needs to be some change in how leadership is operating,” he adds.

Jill agrees there may be underlying factors behind Bailey’s sudden appointment. “Anytime you put ‘co-’ in front of something, it’s like, okay, what is actually happening right now?” she says.

Bedford suggests the new role might be a genuine effort to support Bongino, who, as the deputy director, has the enormous task of “[overseeing] the personnel of the FBI.”

“That’s tens of thousands of people that he’s got to deal with and got to manage. And Bongino, despite being a former officer, Secret Service agent, and despite having a very successful radio show and podcast, doesn’t have that kind of management experience,” he says.

The rumor in D.C., however, is that Bailey is there “to replace someone” — Bongino or perhaps even Kash Patel, Bedford says.

“That’s where it starts to get a little spicier because I think [replacing Patel] would start to really upset more people,” he adds, especially given Patel is the “main reason for why we have so much of this Russiagate information.”

Peterson, despite acknowledging Kash’s invaluable contributions to the Trump agenda, can’t deny that rumors are swirling that Patel’s leadership is lacking at the FBI.

“There is a lot of talk around town and elsewhere that that’s not happening and that some of these reports on the left, while no one wants to agree with them publicly, may have some validity to them in terms of how things are going over there at the FBI,” he says.

“We’ll have to wait and see, but the main thing I think we should take away from this is that Bailey is talented. Bailey is energetic, and they need more than two people at the top of this thing and whatever is going on over there. We need someone who is going to be aggressive and who’s going to actually clean house.”

GOP Rep. Cory Mills gave THIS ridiculous excuse for his failure to pay $85K in rent



Between his stolen valor accusations, an ethics probe into his business dealings, an alleged secret Islamic conversion, and domestic abuse allegations, Florida GOP Rep. Cory Mills was already drowning in a sea of scandal before revelations emerged that he now faces eviction from his luxury Washington, D.C., apartment after allegedly failing to pay $85,000 in rent.

Jill Savage, BlazeTV host of “Blaze News: The Mandate,” along with Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson dive into this latest controversy.

Mills' monthly rent for his D.C. penthouse comes out to about “$21,000 a month,” while his Florida rental property costs approximately “$12,000” monthly.

“So we're estimating here about $400,000 a year in rent,” says Jill.

To sustain such a cost, he would “have to be rather independently wealthy,” says Bedford.

According to financial disclosures, Mills has accumulated substantial wealth from co-founding defense contracting firms like Pacem Solutions International and Pacem Defense.

Jill points out, however, that Mills has publicly claimed at different times to have "divested" from his Pacem companies and also to have placed them into a "blind trust.” But when questioned about the specifics during a phone call with Blaze Media’s Return editor Peter Gietl, Mills dodged the question, claiming he couldn't remember the details because it happened four years ago.

“You can't tell me if you're divested or in a blind trust for the business that you're a part of that pays you all this money so you can afford a penthouse for $21,000?” she asks.

“Maybe that's why he just forgot to pay his rent, you know? He just doesn't remember the important things,” Peterson jokes, “but that doesn't seem very likely. It seems more likely that something very fishy is going on here.”

Mills has claimed that his failure to pay rent is not due to financial inability but rather because “the online payment system is broken.”

“They don't evict you from a penthouse over a technical glitch on their website,” scoffs Bedford. “I've never lived in a penthouse, but it doesn't seem like the kind of service you're paying for at that sort of incredible level.”

SHOCKING: The New York Times covers Biden’s autopen pardons



Conservatives have been questioning Biden’s mental fitness since before he got into office, and finally, publications like the New York Times are beginning to catch up.

“Even the New York Times was admitting that the legacy questions are striking a nerve with the former president,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage says on “Blaze News: The Mandate,” noting that Biden’s recent interview with the publication consisted of a 10-minute phone call.

“He was able to talk for 10 minutes. I think that in itself is impressive,” Savage adds.

Now, evidence shows that Biden staffers, not Biden himself, approved controversial pardons using an autopen. Over 4,200 pardons were issued during his term, and 96% happened in his final year — including the clemencies for Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley.


“I feel like every time we get a new information dump about the pardons, it’s just so much worse every time,” Savage says.

“The big picture here is the New York Times has to come out and deal with this now,” BlazeTV host Matthew Peterson chimes in. “Biden has to be trotted out to, you know, start rambling because he’s trying to save a legacy that is rapidly eroding in real time in front of the American people.”

“And this thing has legs. It’s not going to go away, because there are legal issues involved,” he continues.

“This is a good sign,” Savage agrees, “because now you have the New York Times covering autopen and going deep into this. This means that this is going to be a story that sticks around.”

“Even if you were a leftist who didn’t want to believe it for a very long time,” she adds.

Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford has a slightly different theory.

“This investigative journalism is coming from inside the White House. It’s coming from team Biden, and they’re trying to get out ahead because this is their favorite thing,” he explains.

“First they say you’re a conspiracy theorist and it’s not happening. Then they say it happened, but it’s old and it doesn’t matter. Then there’s no point where they say, ‘All right, that was really bad, unconstitutional, and completely insane,’” he continues.

“It’s either, ‘This is a right-wing conspiracy. It’s not happening.’ ‘Fine, it happened. It didn’t matter.’ And that’s the stage that they’re moving on to now,” he adds.

Is Elon’s America Party really a threat to Republicans?



Over the Fourth of July weekend, billionaire inventor and political provocateur Elon Musk posted the following poll on X:

The survey followed a public clash between Musk and Trump, ignited by Musk's sharp criticism of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which he slammed as a shield for bureaucratic excess.

The poll’s strong support spurred Musk to then declare the creation of a new political party. On July 5, he unveiled the “America Party,” vowing it would “give you back your freedom” and challenge the entrenched "one-party system."

Conservatives, even those who share Musk’s frustrations, are concerned, however, that the formation of a new party might actually backfire and end up benefiting Democrats by splitting the conservative vote.

To get clarity on whether or not Musk’s new party can legitimately hurt Republicans, “Blaze News: The Mandate’s” Jill Savage asked Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford to unpack the possibilities.

“It definitely hurts. … Third parties are like wasps. They can sting once, but then they die. That sting can be painful,” says Bedford, referring to a famous line by historian Richard Hofstadter.

And the damage it causes will likely be for naught. Musk’s “biggest mistake,” he says, is “his assumption that in the most polarized time of the last 100 years … that there's some broad 80% coalition looking to get behind libertarianism.”

“Twitter polls are not real, actual reads of what people will vote on and what people are upset about,” he says.

While Bedford doubts Musk will pursue this at the presidential level, he is concerned about his party targeting Senate races, where third parties can sway outcomes by a small margin (like Michigan, where a third-party candidate’s 1.8% vote share tipped a race). This could hurt Republicans by splitting their votes, he warns.

More than likely, though, Musk is risking hurting himself more than anyone else. If there’s still potential for him to be a key figure in the Republican party — and Bedford thinks there is, especially if JD Vance succeeds Trump — Musk is risking blowing that opportunity by continuing to show “how quickly he can turn.”

He’s “somebody [who] goes from a savior … ‘we're best friends forever’ to ‘I hate you, you're a pedophile, and I'm going to do everything I can to undermine you,'” says Bedford.

This mercurial quality Elon has is also the very thing that makes him the mad genius he is, says Jill. “Elon is a disruptor at heart. This is what he does. He can't just come in and play by the rules that are laid out in front of him.”

Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson agrees.

Unless he “backs off” of this idea, which is a possibility, “it's just going to cause a lot of harm to things that he himself is supposedly for,” says Peterson, adding that while some believe Musk’s party will cause “normie Democrats” to split from the “radicalized progressive party,” which would benefit Republicans, more than likely “this is a huge waste of time and resources.”

Go woke, go MEGA broke — this luxury company’s sales just plummeted 97%



2025’s Pride Month went out with a glorious whimper. Many didn’t even notice it happened at all. Compared to previous Junes when rainbow-drenched hordes of people screamed their sexual fetishes in the streets, this June was pretty quiet.

The truth is, Pride Month “is diminishing,” says Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford. “Except for Jaguar.”

Last fall, the luxury car company released a bizarre commercial featuring “nothing but androgynous, strange people cavorting in dresses.” Their product — you know, cars — didn’t make the cut. Zero Jaguar vehicles were featured in the advertisement that was intended to launch their nonbinary rebranding campaign.

But that’s not all Jaguar did. As part of its "Reimagine" campaign aimed at transitioning into an all-electric, ultra-luxury brand by 2025, the company discontinued nearly all of its beloved previous models. In other words, “They got rid of all ... the amazing stuff,” Bedford says.

And Jaguar is paying sorely for it. This April, it registered just 49 cars in all of Europe — a 97.5% drop from 1,961 sales in April 2024.

“Go woke, go broke,” Bedford says.

Through the entire campaign, from its weird “Copy Nothing” commercial to its discontinuation of the very models that made it a sought-after brand, Jaguar has hit the “self-destruct” button, says Matthew Peterson, Blaze News editor in chief and co-host of “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

“Everything about Jaguar was refuted,” he says. “Who do you think buys Jaguars?”

The company “used to be synonymous with British engineering, and now it's gay,” Bedford says.

Thankfully, Jaguar’s refusal to abandon the path of wokeness is becoming a rarity among big companies these days. Most have walked back the pandering and virtue signaling and returned to doing practical business, which doesn’t include shoving DEI and LGBTQ+ agendas down consumers’ throats.

While “the wokeness is still present and accounted for,” we’re witnessing the beginning of the “end of all this nonsense,” Peterson says.

Daniel Turner reacts to apparent threat from Democratic lawmaker



Democratic Rep. Greg Casar of Texas apparently threatened congressional witnesses during a heated hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, was testifying before the Department of Government Efficiency subcommittee about the corrupt relationships between the government and left-wing nonprofits. Turner, who himself has uncovered much of the corruption, found himself in the hot seat when Casar apparently threatened the congressional witness.

'Political violence directed towards me is kind of not new, but it was odd to see it from a member of Congress so flippant.'

Casar began the confrontation by referencing the 2019 mass murder where a shooter killed 23 individuals in a Walmart. Casar then told the witnesses: "What goes around comes around." Turner attempted to ask for clarification, but Casar left the hearing before anyone had the opportunity to follow up with him.

"I wasn't able to ask Mr. Casar before he ran out the room, but he was looking at the witnesses, talking about a murderer and said, 'What goes around comes around,'" Turner said during the hearing. "I don't know what that comment meant. I don't have the luxury of Capitol Hill police to protect me. In the climate space we get a lot of death threats. We get a lot of hate. ... I just don't know what 'goes around comes around' meant."

Turner later appeared on "Blaze News | The Mandate," where he recapped the interaction with Christopher Bedford, senior Washington correspondent for Blaze News.

"The eco-left has a long, long history in political violence," Turner told Bedford. "Political violence directed towards me is kind of not new, but it was odd to see it from a member of Congress so flippant."

"He was talking about this horrible mass murder in his city of San Antonio and then saying, 'What goes around comes around,'" Turner added. "And he's doing it in the context of 'you need to stop punishing nonprofits, because otherwise you're going to be mass murdered next.'"

Although Turner notes that he is no stranger to threats of political violence, he admits that they usually do not come from members of Congress.

"It was so bizarre, and I wasn't going to let it go," Turner said. "I actually got a little, not scolded, but you're not supposed to interrupt hearings, right? They're very, very formal. But I was like, 'I'm not going to sit here and have some little congressman, you know, write a check he's not going to cash. I am not going to be threatened by a member of Congress who's got all this bravado trying to intimidate me.'"

"I thought it was really inappropriate, really offensive," Turner added. "He scurried out of the room like a little weasel. I doubt I'll ever hear from him again, but I'm glad I called him out."

Grift king Tapper? CNN star’s fake exposé spills what he knew for years



In just three days, Jake Tapper’s phony exposé “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which he co-authored with Axios’ Alex Thompson, will be released.

If you’ll recall, Tapper was more than happy to regurgitate the mainstream media narrative that Joe Biden was cognitively stable, downplaying and dismissing concerns about his mental acuity and shaming anyone who dared to raise eyebrows. But now that the secret is out and Democrats are no longer in power, he’s cashing in the opportunity to “expose the truth” he knew all along.

“Is Jake Tapper the king of grift?” scoffs “Blaze News | The Mandate’s” Jill Savage.

Blaze Media senior politics editor and Washington correspondent Christopher Bedford, who explored this subject in his recent article “The Great Biden Book War has finally begun,” says that “it’s just incredible” what Tapper and Thompson are trying to do.

“They covered Joe Biden; they covered him for years. Alex was on the campaign at the time. He wrote a lot of stuff about the campaign ... but he never at any point wrote about the obvious cognitive decline of the president,” he says.

The same goes for Tapper, who “covered politics from his role as a host at CNN.”

“[Tapper] never once talked about the obvious cognitive decline of the president,” says Bedford. In fact, at one point, he even “[berated] Lara Trump” for questioning Biden’s mental state, claiming she was shaming children with stutters for pointing out Biden’s speech struggles.

But as soon as the cat was out of the bag after Biden’s disastrous career-ending debate against Donald Trump, Tapper and Thompson seized on the chance to pad their wallets. They began conducting interviews with senior Democrats inside and around the White House and Harris’ campaign, collecting stories to corroborate the truth they already knew.

One highlight in the book is that “the administration was considering the use of a wheelchair as soon as the second administration of Joe Biden started ... but not before” so as to maintain the illusion of health, says Bedford.

Another anecdote from the book details how Biden aides tried to conceal his “awkward gait” by blaming it on an old injury that had already healed.

Tapper and Thompson are presenting this information as if it’s shocking, but it was abundantly clear to anyone paying attention that Biden was doing “the dead man shuffle,” says Bedford. “He took the kiddie stairs at the back of Air Force One after multiple falls. This is not an inside scoop.”

“How do you think this thing is gonna sell?” asks Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson.

To hear Bedford’s prediction, watch the clip above.

New Washington law forces priests to break confessional seal, sparking Catholic outrage



On May 2, Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson (D) signed Senate Bill 5375 into law, mandating that clergy, including Catholic priests, report suspected child abuse or neglect to law enforcement or state authorities, even if the information is disclosed during the sacrament of confession.

This means priests must break the seal of confession, a sacred Catholic practice, or face legal consequences. However, to abide by the law means priests will face automatic excommunication under Canon Law, which deems violating the confessional seal a grave offense.

The Catholic Church has come out in strong opposition of the law, claiming it violates First Amendment protections for religious freedom and unfairly targets clergy, as other privileged communications (e.g., attorney-client, doctor-patient) remain exempt.

“Blaze News Tonight’s” Jill Savage, Matthew Peterson, and Christopher Bedford — all practicing Catholics — say it’s an egregious law.

Confession is how “people bring their sins before God and ask for forgiveness and penance. It’s as important as marriage; it’s as important as last rites; it's as important to salvation as baptism. It's something that is essential in the spiritual life of Catholics,” says Bedford. “People have to unburden themselves with some darkness, and they only can do that and have that access to the sacrament if they know that the priests, that the seal of confession is legit.”

Further, the law is just “a red herring” that distracts from the real problem: abusive priests who have been historically protected by the Church.

Reflecting on his childhood, Bedford says, “We had family friends who killed themselves after the awfulness that they were subjected to by some satanic priests.”

The issue of child abuse as it relates to the Catholic Church has never been that admissions “were whispered in confession” but rather that the criminal actions of abusive priests “were know to the higher-ups of the church and covered over,” he explains.

“This is an actual attack on the Church, on the sacraments, and it's a great thing that the bishops are coming up against it,” Bedford says, adding that “I'm really excited to see that the federal Department of Justice is now investigating this law for the obvious — obvious — civil rights violations that it entails.”

Peterson agrees, suspecting that the push for these laws isn’t really fueled by a desire to protect children, as supporters claim, but rather by an “anti-religious fervor.”

There is “a massive and increasing anti-Catholic animus across the West,” says Bedford, citing the 2021 “spate of church burnings across Canada done by activists.”

“A priest who deals a lot with the demonic once told me …’the devil is no longer hiding in the shadows. The devil is very much out in the open.”’

Miller teases tariff talks amid ongoing trade war: 'China is a unique situation'



During Thursday morning's press briefing, top White House official Stephen Miller told Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was "in the process" of developing his plan to address the ongoing trade war with China.

At this point, the United States has imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, and China has reciprocated with a 125% tariff on American imports. As market uncertainty lingers, Miller reassured reporters that the administration is working toward a trade deal with China that is advantageous to Americans.

'The secretary of the treasury is in the process of developing a plan that will answer the questions that you're talking about, but the president's goals have been very clear on these points.'

DC Correspondent @CBedfordDC: "What is the end goal of the China tariffs right now?"@StephenM: "China is a unique situation, but the president's goals have been very clear. We need to have a trade relationship that does not harm our nation's economic and national security." pic.twitter.com/sUf4g0DB2b
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) May 1, 2025

"China is a unique situation, obviously," Miller told Bedford. "The president has talked at length about what happened to us economically since China's entrance into the World Trade Organization, and the trillions and trillions of dollars of trade deficits that we racked up with China over the period of that time and what that's meant for our national security, what that's meant for economic security, what that's meant for our supply chains."

"Obviously right now, the secretary of the treasury is in the process of developing a plan that will answer the questions that you're talking about, but the president's goals have been very clear on these points," Miller added.

Although tariffs have been a source of criticism from political and media adversaries, Miller maintains that the trade war will be settled in a way that ultimately benefits the United States.

"[President Trump] is not going to allow China to continue to steal our intellectual property, to continue to illegally dump and subsidize their goods in our markets, to manipulate their currency, to rack up an unsustainable trade deficit," Miller said.

"We need to have a trade relationship with China that does not do harm to our nation's economic and national security, and that has to be the guidepost of any objective," Miller added. "At the same time, tariffs will bring significant revenue into this country that will allow us to pursue our dramatic plan of tax cuts and reforms."
