Dark money — who is responsible for the anti-ICE protests?



Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) claims to have followed the money regarding the violent protests that broke out in Los Angeles over the weekend — and where it’s led her is disturbing, to say the least.

“Who is behind all these crazy riots in L.A. and that will be across the nation?” Luna asked in a video posted to social media, before answering her own question.

“This specifically is being funded by an individual by the name of Neville Singham, who actually made his money pushing communist Chinese propaganda, became a billionaire doing it," she continued. "And the guy behind all these protests was also behind and tied to the protests at Columbia University pushing all of that B.S., if you don’t remember."


“If you actually look at the social organization that’s putting out these flyers, it’s the party for socialism and liberation, which is, and I kid you not, the actual Communist Party,” she said. “So, they are using Hispanics; they’re using illegal immigrants; they’re trying to hype people up, thinking that they care, but they don’t care.”

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales, founder of Rippaverse Comics Eric July, and BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden aren’t surprised, but they aren’t happy with the news either.

“They are willing to unfortunately collapse this entire country all in the name of, again, social justice leftism, more accurately authoritarian leftism,” July says, while Marsden notes that while they are intent on destruction, they’re also uniting the right.

“It’s shone a light,” Marsden says, adding, “and everything, all the cockroaches are right there for us to see.”

Supreme Court victory: DEI is dead



The left has claimed that it’s impossible to be racist against any majority group for years, and unfortunately, as DEI has gone mainstream, those in power have seemed to agree.

That is, they’ve agreed until now.

Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of a straight woman who had twice lost positions to gay employees. The New York Times reports that the woman claimed “an appeals court had been wrong to require her to meet a heightened burden in seeking to prove workplace discrimination because she was a member of a majority group.”


“Who you have sex with, you can’t discriminate based on that, you can’t discriminate based on the color of your skin,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains. “I wish that they would add political party to that, because we all know there’s nothing worse than a Democrat who is discriminating against conservatives.”

“They do it all the time,” she adds.

BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden points out that being racist toward majority groups is still worded as “reverse discrimination.”

“I know, and that’s the irony of it all. Just discrimination. There’s no reverse racism,” Gonzales agrees.

“It was always dumb,” BlazeTV contributor Eric July chimes in. “Discrimination is discrimination, racism is racism or what have you now. My argument on this is that there shouldn’t even be any laws that are against any of that stuff.”

“Let people do with their private property whatever the hell they want. If that means discriminating against me because I’m black, put a sign out there, I don’t give a s**t. I know not to give you any money,” he adds.

Another Summer of Love? University of Washington overrun by Antifa thugs



The University of Washington was overrun by militant Antifa members protesting in favor of Hamas and Gaza — and the scene was eerily reminiscent of 2020’s unforgettable Summer of Love riots.

“They were lighting fires. They were attacking police,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments, noting that the fires were “rather large.” Video also shows the Antifa members running off the campus security guards, who were in vehicles, with shields made out of garbage cans.

“Chasing away the security service with garbage cans. How embarrassing is that? What is the point of you guys? You’re scared off by a little garbage can shield?” Gonzales asks, shocked.


“When you got time to do all that stuff, you don’t got s**t else to do, and I think this is why we need to start addressing this welfare statism. And I talked about this in 2020 during the Summer of Love. These are bored people. First-world problems,” Eric July, founder of Rippaverse Comics, chimes in.

“These are people that have nothing else to do, and therefore, they just cause issues and cause all sorts of trouble. That’s all there is to it,” he continues. “All it does is remind me that I think these issues that plague America could just so easily be addressed; they just don’t, and I think we know why. I think there’s no real incentive, especially politically.”

"The Bottom Line" host Jaco Booyens believes these Antifa members are responding to a “lack of consequence” and an identity crisis.

“It is a gigantic class in American society at the moment that has no identity, and definitely not a Christ identity,” Booyens says. “So you can co-opt them to do anything.”

Jasmine Crockett under FEC investigation for money laundering



Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) has been in the headlines for her wild antics quite a bit in the not-so-distant past, but this time the reason appears to be a little more serious.

Crockett is officially under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for money laundering through the Democrat donation site ActBlue and alleged voter intimidation, after conservative advocacy group the Coolidge Reagan Foundation filed a complaint against her.

A donor was reported to have given 53 separate donations to her campaign that totaled $595 and were made through the ActBlue donations portal. The donations were tied to a 73-year-old Texas resident named Randy Best, but Best’s wife claims to have no knowledge of the donations.


“Now, we have an official FEC investigation into Jasmine Crockett’s campaign, which this says that it was $870,000 dollars of ActBlue donations and that it’s unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions made in the name of unsuspecting, innocent people, who did not actually provide the funds,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” explains.

“It’s almost like ActBlue has been acting as this giant money-laundering operation for the Democrats,” she continues, adding, “That kind of talk is why I’m demonetized from YouTube.”

Eric July agrees that it’s likely a much bigger problem than just Crockett.

“I mean, you can just look at Congress in general. I mean, I feel like we talk about it every week, how it comes under question how so many of these people get rich despite the salaries that they have. And it’s not like they’re somehow becoming business gurus just by getting some congressional insight,” July tells Gonzales.

“I’m already under the impression that most of them are a bunch of crooks,” he continues. “I mean, they’re swindling the American people regardless, but I believe that a lot of them are also enriching themselves and just using the political system as it is to do it.”

Is the US covering up UFOs firing on New Jersey?



Mysterious drones have been spotted flying over the United States, and a recent video purports to show a drone firing tracers over New Jersey.

New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew told Fox News that “Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones” and that “we know it’s not our own government.”

While the government continues to deny and claim ignorance, Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” doesn’t believe for a second that it's giving us the whole story.

“He’s like, ‘Well it’s not our own government, because then we’d know,’” Gonzales tells Eric July. “No you wouldn’t. How many times has the Biden regime gone rogue on so many different things?”

“Oh, you think they’re not going to keep that from you?” She continues, adding, “I just don’t buy that to begin with.”


“I think when things like this happen, a lot of people’s minds just go in the complete opposite direction, where they assume that it could be, let’s say, some foreign country or something of that nature. I think it’s very dangerous, especially when you start looking at these government officials who go out on a limb and are like, ‘Oh, I think it was that person or that group,’” July says.

“We’ve seen war started for less,” he says, noting that meanwhile, drone technology is only escalating.

“They’re advancing quick, man. These things are able to do some really, really, I’d argue, cool things. But yeah, when I see something just sitting there floating and it’s spraying something, I’ll be like, ‘Is it mosquitoes? Or are you doing something else?’” He continues, adding, “And I think any person that’s going to see something floating in the air is going to be kind of turned off by that.”

RFK Jr. ENDORSES Trump — and Kamala’s campaign might be in trouble



Robert F. Kennedy Jr. bowed out of the presidential race on Friday, leaving former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris the last two in the ring.

In his highly anticipated speech, RFK criticized the Democratic Party’s abandonment of its core values and endorsed Trump, which resulted in many of his family members openly disparaging him on social media.

“While democracy may still be alive at the grassroots, it has become little more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media, and for our government, and most sadly of all for me — the Democratic Party,” RFK said in his speech.

While Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” is grateful to have him on Trump’s side, she’s not convinced his endorsement will sway independent voters.

“It is interesting to think about what demographic his voters really are, because he’s all over the place with his policies,” Gonzales says. “He’s a crazy environmentalist, wants crazy climate change proposals — which you would associate with a radical leftist.”

“But then also, he wants to totally reform Big Pharma and the FDA and the CDC,” she continues, “he’s a very obviously infamous vaccine skeptic.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is facing criticism from her own leftist supporters for not being “pro-Palestine” enough.

“You have to imagine that the enthusiasm is not going to be there to get out on Election Day or during early voting and go cast your vote for Kamala,” Gonzales says. “Now, you may have these independents as well who, okay, maybe they can’t be bothered to vote for Trump, but do you really think they’re going to show up on Election Day and vote for Kamala Harris?”

Eric July is in agreement.

“Considering his history, he’s been a Democrat, and you think of the two, that’s where he’s going to pull from more,” he says. “So, either it is a wash considering everything that you just said or it does benefit Trump more than anything.”

'Blaze News Tonight' RECAP: Elon Musk's Trump donation, Secret Service failure, and a Jan. 6 victory



In the wake of Trump’s near-assassinaton, Elon Musk has not only endorsed Donald Trump for president but has also pledged $45 million a month to a Trump-affiliated PAC, likely making him an even bigger target for the left. Corrupt Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez (N.J.) has been convicted on 16 counts, leading several Democrat senators to call for his resignation, even threatening to expel him if he refuses to step down. Next, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) gives her thoughts in an exclusive interview on Trump’s decision to appoint JD Vance as his running mate, as well as Biden’s calls for unity. Next, former Navy SEAL and security expert Erik Prince joins the show to shed light on the newly surfaced Iranian assassination plot, as well as the failure of the Secret Service not only at the rally but in general. However, there is a hopeful development in one January 6 case. A federal judge ordered the release of January 6 prisoner John Strand. Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker calls in to discuss the ruling.

Elon Musk Goes Full MAGA with Monthly $45M Trump Super PAC Pledge | Guest: Erik Prince | 7/16/24 www.youtube.com

Elon gets super political in super PAC donation

Senior politics editor and Washington correspondent for Blaze Media Christopher Bedford joins Jill and the panel on “Blaze News Tonight” from day two of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to discuss Elon Musk’s recent political moves and Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s conviction.

In regard to Musk’s donation pledge, Bedford says, “My gosh, he’s brave.”

Not only did Musk pledge “$45 million a month, a staggering amount of money,” to a Trump super PAC, but he also expressed his disapproval of Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s bill that permits children to transition behind their parents’ backs by vowing to “move his space company to Texas.”

Further, Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, who Bedford says is “one of the more openly corrupt senators” and “an incredibly arrogant politician,” has been convicted on “federal corruption charges.”

Even “the Democrats just want him to go away,” says Bedford.

Further, Julio Rosas, Blaze Media’s national correspondent, who is also attending the RNC convention, spoke with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) about her thoughts regarding Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance.

“It’s the direction I want the party to go in, and that’s going to be America first,” Greene said of Vance.

To Biden’s calls for “unity,” Greene was candid: “If Joe Biden and the Democrats were serious about unity, he would completely stop the weaponized Department of Justice that he has enabled, he would reel back Merrick Garland, he would drop all the charges against President Trump, [and] he would release political prisoners who are being held in prison for years now for protesting election fraud.”

Secret Service failure and Kimberly Cheatle’s refusal to step down

The Secret Service is on high alert after reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump have surfaced. Former Navy SEAL and security expert Erik Prince joins the show to shed light on the threat.

“I think this is a desperate effort to deflect from a completely botched job of protecting the leading Republican candidate and front-runner for the next presidency,” Prince tells Jill, adding that he doesn’t give the threat “a whole lot of credibility.”

“We suffer from a from a whole collection of federal agencies that are bloated, obese, unaccountable, and ineffective, and we continue to steer away from a merit-based, execution-based excellent society to our detriment,” he continues, noting that had Trump been killed, “we could have literally torn the country asunder.”

When Prince points to the lack of merit in our federal agencies, he is, at least in part, referring to Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle’s DEI initiative to ensure 30% of the force is made up of women.

Even though Cheatle has technically “[taken] responsibility” for Trump’s near-assassination, she has nonetheless refused to step down from her position.

While the FBI has sworn to investigate Saturday’s unfortunate events, Jill questions the authenticity of their claims, given “the way that the federal agencies have handled Donald Trump-related issues in the past.”

Prince agrees, stating he has “zero confidence in the federal government being able to investigate itself.”

A January 6 victory

The tides have turned for one January 6 defendant, John Strand, who was ordered to be released by a federal judge this July.

Blaze News investigative journalist and fellow January 6 victim Steve Baker joins the show to explain the details of Strand’s case. Steve tells Jill and the panel that Strand is one of the more “high-profile cases” of all the January 6 defendants.

Strand attended the Capitol on January 6 because he was the friend and bodyguard of Dr. Simone Gold, who was deplatformed during the height of COVID for recommending “alternate therapies that were not part of the approved narrative from the administration.”

Dr. Gold was scheduled to speak at the Capitol that day — an event that was “legally permitted.” When the Oathkeepers and Strand escorted Dr. Gold to her speaking location, however, the chaos had already begun.

“John Strand and Simone Gold did not participate in violence; they did not participate in breaching the Capitol building whatsoever,” says Baker, “but when the doors opened, they, like so many hundreds and even thousands of others, did in fact go inside peacefully, and she actually decided to deliver her prepared remarks there in the Rotunda.”

After Dr. Gold delivered her speech, she and Strand “peacefully left.” However, both were “arrested very early on” and were “charged not only with a handful of misdemeanors,” but also with the “infamous 1512 obstruction of an official preceding felony, which carried up to 20 years potential imprisonment.”

While Gold ended up “taking a plea deal" involving “60 days in prison,” Strand decided that “he was going to be a warrior” and fight the charges. In the end, he was sentenced to “32 months in prison.”

“They committed exactly the same crimes, but because he wasted the government's time and he put them through the hassle of having to prepare for a trial … Simone got two months in prison and he got 32 months in prison,” says Baker.

However, the Supreme Court’s “overturning of 1512" led to Strand’s release.

'Blaze News Tonight' RECAP: Implications of Trump’s near-assassination, JD Vance, and eerie parallels between Trump and Roosevelt



Last weekend, President Trump came within a literal inch of death during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The following Monday, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed his classified documents case due to the unconstitutionality of Jack Smith's involvement. BlazeTV host of “Stu Does America” Stu Burguiere joins "Blaze News Tonight" to discuss the historic last few days for Donald Trump and what they could mean come November. Next, Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford and Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas tune in from the RNC convention in Milwaukee to discuss President Trump's VP pick — Ohio Senator JD Vance — and the anti-Trump protests raging in the streets outside the convention. Next, the panel discusses the group of attendees at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally who witnessed the shooter mount the roof and who called for help but were ignored. Former intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense and chief researcher for Glenn Beck Jason Buttrill joins to break down the failure of the Secret Service to protect former President Donald Trump from danger. Lastly, BlazeTV host of "The Glenn Beck Program" and Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck joins the show to discuss the parallels between the attempted assassination of Trump and that of President Theodore Roosevelt.

'America’s Hitler'?! Biden’s Unity Message TANKS After Trump Picks JD Vance for VP | 7/15/24www.youtube.com

Historic days for Donald Trump

At a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, former president Donald Trump was nearly assassinated when a shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire from a nearby rooftop, hitting Trump in the ear. Two days later, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump’s classified documents case, ruling that special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.

“This is probably one of the craziest sequences of events that I've ever seen in politics,” says BlazeTV’s Stu Burguiere.

“To just have a bullet go through your ear, you're an inch away from dying, to have the presence of mind to stand up there and raise your fist and show America that … not only did this not hurt you, but we're going to keep going is one of the most incredible moments — the most bada** moment — I've ever seen,” he tells Jill.

According to Stu, Trump’s bold display of courage will likely result in “a bump” for him, meaning that people who have never considered voting for him before may find themselves “crossing that line for the first time because there is something really, truly American” about “the way [Trump] reacted.”

Further, Stu suspects the mainstream media will soften toward Trump for a while and conveniently “forget about all the rhetoric” it’s been spreading about his similarity to Hitler.

“You call somebody Hitler over and over and over again, it's going to create an impression among some unstable people that the correct, moral thing to do is to take him out,” says Stu, suggesting that the media’s rhetoric is at least partially to blame for Trump’s almost-assassination.

Republicans unite at Milwaukee RNC Convention, anti-Trump protests rage on

According to Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford, currently attending the RNC convention in Milwaukee, the events that occurred over the weekend seem to be unifying the right.

“The Republicans were already set to walk into this week more unified than the Democratic Party by an absolute long shot, but the historic deadly attack and the attempted assassination that we watched on television on Saturday has even heightened that,” says Bedford, adding that the spectrum of Republicans coming together ranges from warmongering Nikki Haley to 50 Cent.

As for Trump’s VP pick — Ohio Senator JD Vance — Bedford alleges that the majority of convention attendees seem “thrilled with this decision,” but there are certain individuals, “some of the old Tea Party conservatives,” for example, who are not so thrilled.

“What choosing Vance says — a young senator, 39 [years old], in his first term, a rising star, telegenic, intelligent — is it allows the MAGA movement to know that there's some kind of future, a potential successor, after Trump's second term in office if he wins,” Bedford explains.

For all the unity among Republicans, however, there seems to be equal solidarity among Trump-haters. Footage shows mass anti-Trump protests in the streets of Milwaukee, where Trump-Hitler rhetoric has not waned at all.

Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas tells Jill that in the press conference that followed the march on the RNC, protest leaders were “denouncing Trump,” likely realizing that his “popularity [is] rising in the aftermath” of the assassination attempt.

“One of the speakers did say that, generally speaking, she was against any assassination attempt on any politician, but then she caveated that by saying it's undeniable that Trump's rhetoric, policies, and actions has led to the legitimization of political violence by white nationalists,” Rosas reports.

Secret Service failure?

Police forces and Secret Service at the rally where President Trump was shot have come under intense scrutiny after a group of bystanders witnessed the armed shooter mount the roof but were ignored when they reported the threat.

Jill plays the footage of one witness recounting to the BBC’s Gary O'Donoghue that he “[pointed] at the guy crawling up the roof” to police and Secret Service and even told police that “there's guy on the roof with a rifle,” but nothing was done until after Crooks had already started firing.

He also asked: “Why is there not Secret Service on all of these roofs?”

Former intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense and chief researcher for Glenn Beck Jason Buttrill calls the situation “ridiculous” and “chaotic.”

Jason, who’s “worked alongside Secret Service,” says that he “cannot fathom how this happened,” as Secret Service — especially when the protective operation involves a president — will “show up weeks in advance” to conduct a “site survey” for the purpose of developing a “multi-tiered security plan.”

Part of that security plan involves setting up “firing positions” that fall “outside the perimeter,” completely debunking the narrative of the Secret Service director who claimed that “they’re not responsible outside that perimeter.”

All considered, it seems highly unlikely that the roof from which the shooter fired was not considered a high-risk area by the Secret Service prior to the rally.

Parallels between Teddy Roosevelt & Donald Trump’s almost-assassinations

Glenn Beck, a lover of history, couldn’t help but notice several parallels between Donald Trump’s near-death experience and that of Teddy Roosevelt in 1912.

When Roosevelt was shot, the bullet “didn't go into his lungs” but rather “lodged between two ribs because the speech and his glasses,” which he’d put into his front coat pocket, “caught that bullet,” says Glenn, adding that Roosevelt “went on to give the speech” despite his wound.

“The way Donald Trump handled the assassination attempt is almost identical to what Teddy Roosevelt did,” he tells Jill. “When Donald Trump got up and he said, ‘Wait, wait, wait,’ and then he looked at the crowd and held his fist up and he said ‘fight.’ I ... immediately thought of Theodore Roosevelt.”

Jill agrees, adding that Trump “never backs away from a fight,” which is also “what Teddy Roosevelt is known for.”

As for Trump’s decision to select JD Vance as his running mate, Glenn says, “I think it was a really good move.”

Vance, according to Glenn, has the potential to carry on Trump’s legacy and counteract the left’s narrative that Trump will refuse to leave office.

“You could interpret this as … Donald Trump saying, ‘I know I'm only going to be there four years,”’ says Glenn, meaning that Vance, if he runs for president in 2028, could actually accomplish much of what Trump set out to do — things that Trump knows are impossible to achieve in one term.
