Sara Gonzales mocks media outrage over White House ban: 'You are literally covering him right now'



The mainstream media outlets are in shambles after President Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access, with some claiming the move goes against their constitutional right to cover him.

But BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains they're framing it all wrong.

“I regret to inform you that the fake news media has a new thing that they are clutching their pearls about. You know, they just love to be the victims. They actually really enjoy any time that they can paint themselves as some little precious little victims,” Gonzales says.

“For years, they have been allowed to just run rampant and say whatever the hell they want about President Trump and defame him. And you know what? He’s finally said, ‘You know, I’ve just kind of had enough with this,’” she continues.


However, she points out, they’re still allowed to cover Trump — just from a distance.

“We have a First Amendment right, freedom of the press. You are allowed to criticize the president whenever you want. It can be factual. It can be not factual unless it rises to the level of defamatory. But you are allowed to talk about the president all day long if you want,” Gonzales explains.

“You just don’t get the special privilege of being allowed in the White House,” she adds, before playing a clip of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins complaining about the president’s ban.

In a video posted to social media, Collins said, “One of the biggest questions that we’ve gotten asked and that we’ve asked our sources ever since the president announced that he was banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from covering his administration on Friday was ‘Why now?’”

“The president has complained about negative coverage for decades, long before he was in political office. So why is he taking this step to block outlets whose coverage he doesn’t like from covering him?” she added.

“You are literally covering him right now in this moment that you speak into a microphone about President Trump’s decision. No one is blocking you from covering him. You are not allowed in the White House. That’s it,” Gonzales responds.

“Nowhere in the First Amendment does it say that it is your constitutional right to have unlimited access … to the presidential residence, to the White House, to any of the White House grounds,” she continues.

“It doesn’t say any of that. They just can’t prevent you from criticizing them,” she adds.

Legacy Media Implode Over Losing White House Passes While The Rest Of America Shrugs

The latest controversy over the White House removing the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico further exposes legacy media’s delusions of their own self-importance.

Trump slams 'sick, treasonous, and demented' journalists after berating CNN's Kaitlan Collins



The president continued his rhetorical attacks on the mainstream media after issuing a controversial ban on several outlets from the White House.

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to regain access, while other news outlets have boycotted the press pool as a form of protest.

'She’s got a ''TRUMP'' addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented!'

President Donald Trump fired back in a post on the Truth Social platform.

"All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate 'Reporter,' Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me," he wrote.

The president was referring to an episode in which Collins asked him when the Iran war would end during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly.

"Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations?" he added. "Why was she there? She’s got a 'TRUMP' addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The 'good news' is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge."

Collins later said that she was credentialed by the United Nations and denied that CNN had said the network was never going to cover the president.

"We will continue to cover the president and his speech and as he meets with world leaders today, just not with a TV camera from one of the five major networks in the room," she said.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is presiding over the case and was appointed by Trump in his first term as president.

Collins also faced restrictions from the White House in 2018. Fox News defended her at time and called on the administration to back off.

CNN host Jake Tapper defended Collins in a post Wednesday.

"Not going to dignify the president’s juvenile social media post about our brilliant @kaitlancollins except to say she and we are going to keep doing our jobs," he wrote, "which is to ask and cover the questions voters care about — like those about the war in Iran and the economy."

Dem Doesn’t Realize How Clueless She Sounds by Saying This

Why this communist chef isn't just a threat to Wisconsin



Democratic socialist Francesca Hong’s rise is about more than one candidate — it’s a warning sign that ideas once confined to the political fringe are gaining influence across the country.

“If you don’t live in Wisconsin, you may not be interested, but you should be interested, because this is something that’s spreading across the nation. We have the same types of people running for office in Texas, and you probably have them in your state, so you’ve got to pay attention,” "Relatable" host Ron Simmons explains.

Hong, Simmons notes, has been "endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America as a member of the Wisconsin Socialist Caucus.”

“That tells you something. If there’s enough people in there to have a caucus, meaning there’s enough of her other fellow state reps that they form their own caucus, that’s a little scary,” he says.


And according to a Marquette University poll, she leads the primary with 38% support among Democrat voters, with her closest competitor being former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, who only has 16%.

“So I would say the chances of this lady winning the Democrat primary are pretty good. She has expressed some pretty radical views, including the criticism of traditional holidays such as Thanksgiving and support for anti-racism policies that most of us would argue are actually racial themselves,” he says.

However, even some Democrats are weary of her past comments, including CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.

Collins pressed the socialist on her controversial Thanksgiving opinion, asking, “Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?”

Hong responded, “Thanksgiving is also a time that’s incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there, I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve, and the position that I’m running for right now, and I think my background as a chef will actually help me become a better governor that’s able to bring more people to the table.”

“So I’ve never known anybody that's traumatized by Thanksgiving,” Simmons comments. “... And this lady is Korean ... why would she be traumatized by Thanksgiving?”

Hong also lamented on a podcast that her son is half-white, which gives him a “proximity to whiteness.”

“He’s an American male. And the fact that he’s half-Korean or whatever, half-non-Korean, what she calls ‘half-white,’ he’s an American male. That’s what he is,” Simmons says.

“And that's what we should think about him as being,” he adds.

Trump DESTROYED Kaitlan Collins — and leftist logic — with one perfect joke



Donald Trump turned a White House dinner joke into one of the most controversial statements possible, as his joke clearly left his victim fuming — but she couldn’t say anything about it without damaging the left’s belief system.

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales calls it “the greatest joke” he’s had, before playing a clip of the president honing in on CNN host Kaitlan Collins.

“But I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me, it’s a fake. She shouldn’t get the award. It was a fake. But I didn’t mind. I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake,” Trump began.

“There’s no question about it. But she’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles. I said, ‘Kaitlan, do you have a smile? Smile. You have a nice position. You’re at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan,’” he continued.


“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can,” he said, adding, “It was Dylan Mulvaney.”

“Now,” Gonzales comments, laughing, “what’s so brilliant about this joke is that they can’t actually complain about the joke without proving that they’re transphobic. How are you going to explain what exactly is offensive about this joke?”

“Because if you want to accept leftist logic, Dylan Mulvaney is just as beautiful of a woman as Kaitlan Collins,” she says, noting that according to the left, “trans women are real women.”

When Collins was questioned about the joke following the dinner, she ignored the questions and walked away.

“They couldn’t be too offended,” Gonzales says, adding, “to protect the trans people.”

Media Meltdown Over Trump’s Dylan Mulvaney Joke Proves They Know Trans Ideology Is A Lie

During Friday’s redo of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Donald Trump jokingly compared CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins’ appearance to that of Dylan Mulvaney, the mentally ill man cosplaying as a woman. Mulvaney’s viral Bud Light posts three years ago set off a firestorm that resulted in a boycott of Bud Light and crushed the […]

'Jarring': Democrats, CNN talking heads whine about Hegseth's plan to maximize testosterone in the military



The liberal media didn't appear particularly fussed when, during the Biden administration, the U.S. Army announced that it would provide trans-identifying service members not only with elective genital mutilation surgeries but with hormone therapy.

When, however, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday both that troops ages 30 and older will undergo mandatory annual screenings for testosterone deficiency and that those with low levels will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy as part of a new "High-T" initiative, liberal media personalities rushed to clutch their pearls.

'Is this a good idea?'

The liberal talking heads over at CNN — the network whose host Dana Bash admitted in 2024 of Democrats' appeal to men with lower testosterone — appeared especially shaken by the announcement.

"We owe our warriors the absolute best medical care in the world, and this program delivers on that obligation," Hegseth said in a video statement.

The war secretary added, "Taking care of your long-term health means ensuring you remain strong, resilient, and capable — not just for your next deployment, but for the rest of your life so you can thrive long after you take off the uniform."

According to the Pentagon, its new "enhanced screening protocol" is aimed at optimizing performance, combatting "operator syndrome," and maximizing mission readiness, and "complements the efforts outlined in the 'Warfighter Performance Optimization — Total Force Fitness' memorandum."

When pressed by CNN's Erin Burnett to comment on Wednesday about the policy, Rt. Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, suggested that testosterone is "not connected to the reality of the modern battlefield."

Burnett followed up by complaining that "it was really jarring just to hear that today, and obviously, you know, all the implications of it."

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins set the stage for Democratic Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) to similarly complain about the policy, which he said "seems sick."

"Somebody, please wake me up from this dystopian nightmare where we have such unserious people in some of the most important positions, not just in America, one of the most important positions globally," Booker said.

"This is ridiculous, and it should be mocked, and it's just another reason why we should remove him from office," he added.

John King, CNN's chief national correspondent, also concern-mongered about the policy, asking Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), "Is this necessary? Is this a good idea? A bad idea?"

"It's a weird idea," Kelly said. "I mean, what have we seen from this secretary of defense so far? We see him run around on a stage talking about lethality and killing people. Now, he is talking about testosterone. This isn't what we need. What we need is better leadership."

NewsBusters highlighted that absent from CNN's coverage of the policy was any counterpoint.

In its coverage, the Washington Post similarly neglected to address any upsides of the policy, instead amplifying concerns from physicians such as Adriane Fugh-Berman of Georgetown University, who said that "this is non-evidence-based and could cause harm."

While across the Atlantic, there was some huffing and puffing over the policy at the Guardian, the BBC dared to print expert insight suggesting that testosterone screens and boosts might be beneficial.

Dr. Mohit Khera, a specialist in hormone replacement therapy and a professor of urology at Baylor College of Medicine, told the BBC that all men over 30 should undergo testosterone screenings, as it is a top marker of their current and future health.

"The key here is that many young men have low testosterone levels, which puts them at a disadvantage in terms of muscle mass, energy, and that could be an issue if you are in combat," Khera said.

Khera noted that while you have to be careful not to give someone testosterone unless "they do have some kind of symptoms," the benefits of hormone replacement therapy are increased muscle mass, decreased risk for depression, and decreased fatty deposits.

Admiral Brian Christine, assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has expressed his full support for the testosterone initiative, stating, "Optimizing testosterone supports strength, endurance, healthy body composition, cognitive performance, mission readiness, and overall well-being — ensuring America's fighting force is prepared to perform at its highest level."

Democrats are finally admitting it: ‘Our goal is communism’



For years, progressives have worked to soften the public’s perception of their agenda with carefully chosen language — but that strategy is getting harder to maintain.

And after President Donald Trump claimed that they use the word “social democrat because it sounds so nice” when they really mean communism, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) argued that he only said that because socialism is so “popular.”

“I mean, he is ridiculous, but the reason he’s using communism is because he knows socialism is really popular,” Jayapal told Kaitlan Collins on CNN.

“So, he’s trying to turn this into communism when he knows that the ideas that social democrats are running on, that progressives are running on — universal health care, universal child care, making sure that people get paid higher wages — those are incredibly popular,” she continued.


“He’s trying to attach an ideology to it, a label that isn’t correct,” she added.

“Hold on a second,” “Pat Gray Unleashed” executive producer Keith Malinak says. “So, Jayapal, she just said that Trump is using the word ‘communism’ because he knows that socialism is popular.”

“So, can you flip that and say that she and her gang are using the word ‘socialism’ because they know the word ‘communism’ is unpopular?” he asks. “I mean, seriously, she’s basically saying the quiet part out loud.”

And David Jenkins of the Democratic Socialists of America has confirmed this, explaining on video, “Our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism.”

Gray doesn’t understand his logic, asking, “Since when has communism ever liberated anybody?”
