'Blaze News Tonight' RECAP: Project 2025, the SAVE Act, and Inflation



The left is panicking over Project 2025, villainizing it as far-right extremism, but what's really in the document? Heritage Foundation president and co-author of the initiative Kevin Roberts joins the show to answer questions and debunk lies regarding Project 2025. Next, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) explains the SAVE Act — a bill that would bar non-citizens from voting in the 2024 election. Democrats have largely voted against it; Biden has even vowed to veto it, and yet, 81% of the American people agree that only American citizens should have the right to vote in U.S. elections. What the people want is crystal clear, but how likely is the SAVE Act to pass prior to November? Finally, Carol Roth joins the program to tell us the truth about inflation, including what the recent one-tenth drop means for the average American.

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts on Project 2025

Democrats are in an uproar over Project 2025, calling the initiative far-right extremism and attempting to attach the document to Donald Trump, who has denied any affiliation. Headed by the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a detailed plan of policy proposals for the next conservative administration. What's in the document, though? Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation president and co-author of Project 2025, joins the show to "separate fact from fiction."

The list of lies liberals are spreading about Project 2025 grows longer by the day, but "the one thing they get right," Roberts says, "is that we call for the utter elimination of the U.S. Department of Education."

As for the people "doxxing" and "threatening" those behind Project 2025, Roberts promises unapologetic prosecution.

"We are going to prosecute you, and we're going to do that using every ounce of the law. It's going to be peaceful; it's going to be lawful, but you have picked the wrong fight," he says.

Sen. Mike Lee on the SAVE Act

Among the many fears Americans harbor regarding Biden's open border policies that have ushered in millions and millions of illegal immigrants is the concern that non-citizens will be given voting rights prior to the 2024 election, potentially changing the outcome. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), however, alongside Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and House Speaker Mike Johnson, have proposed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act that aims to ensure only American citizens can vote in the 2024 election. Unsurprisingly, most Democrats have voted against it. Biden has also mentioned vetoing the bill.

Sen. Mike Lee, who joins the show, explains that liberal opposition to the bill is rooted in Democrats' desire to "rely on non-citizens" to impact "a federal election" — something he calls "terrifying."

While Lee admits that they face "some heavy obstacles to passing [the SAVE Act]," he knows that should the bill be voted down, the decision "is going to come at a price," granted "81% of American voters agreed that only citizens — only American citizens — should vote in federal elections," which is "a huge bipartisan supermajority."

Sen. Lee also broke down his op-ed on Blaze News, which discusses the legal lawfare the left has used to take down Trump. "[Democrats] are the rule of law," he says, adding that "Democrats love throwing around ... the term 'our democracy,' and yet, when they use the term democracy, they're more often than not talking about something that is the exact opposite of democracy."

As for President Biden's cognitive decline, Lee says his Democratic colleagues "are referring behind closed doors to this situation ... as the 'Weekend at Bernie's' chat."

"I think they've finally started to accept the fact that they've pushed it so far they can't take it any farther."

Carol Roth on inflation

Blaze News contributor and author of "You Will Own Nothing" Carol Roth joins the show to tell us the truth about inflation, one of the biggest — if not the biggest — complaint of American citizens.

"The top issue on Americans’ minds as they head to the polls is the economy," Roth wrote in her recent article "The GOP needs to stay focused on inflation, not cognition."

Roth, who agrees that Biden's mental acuity is a problem, argues that his administration's destructive policies — including the ones driving inflation through the roof — are the far more pressing issue.

"We're missing the opportunity when we're talking about his cognitive decline to talk about the fact that whether it's Biden or someone they put in his place ... these are the broader policies of not just this man but of the Democrats and that if we want to save our country, we need to be making a change in holding those people accountable, and that goes farther than just Joe Biden," she says.

As for inflation, which as of yesterday was down "one-tenth of 1%," Roth says she isn't hopeful it will make a real difference for the average American.

"A quarter of a percentage point, which is probably what is on the table today for September (if that even happens) isn't going to change things meaningfully," she says, adding that she thinks "we need to see something like a 1% cut ... then maybe Americans start to feel a little bit of relief in terms of anything that is tied to an interest rate."

"The most meaningful thing it will mean is that the $35 trillion in debt we have — that big portion of it that needs to be refinanced plus the almost $2 trillion deficits that we're running that need to be financed — they will be able to be financed hopefully at lower interest rates, which will overtime, theoretically, bring down the deficits and hopefully have a positive impact on inflation ... that's the best we can hope for."

Heritage Foundation debunks left's lies about Project 2025 on debut of 'Blaze News Tonight'



On the inaugural episode of "Blaze News Tonight," co-hosts Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson chatted with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts about Project 2025 and the left's gross mischaracterization of it in a tired attempt to frighten Americans out of voting for Republicans.

As questions continue to swirl about Joe Biden's cognitive abilities and his overall fitness for office, Democrats have seemingly attempted to distract voters from the chaos in their own house by frequently casting the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 as a threat to democracy. As part of that effort, they have also attempted to tie Project 2025 to former President Donald Trump, who has no official association with it.

'The American people want to return to normal. They want to return to commonsense policies.'

Biden claimed that Project 2025 would "terminate[] the Constitution" by handing "limitless power" to his potential successor.

"Project 2025 should scare every single American," Biden posted to X on Thursday. "It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives."

"Donald Trump and Project 2025 are connected at the hip," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) likewise insisted.

Though the left has attempted to turn Project 2025 into a political bogeyman, Roberts and Peterson noted that Project 2025 basically lists the same ideas and principles that "unabashedly conservative" organizations have been espousing for decades.

"Only in a leftist America would you have the situation where something the conservative movement has done since 1980 — starting for Ronald Reagan and this year, obviously, for our standard-bearer, Donald Trump — be such a story," Roberts said.

"It's the most normal thing in the world," Peterson added.

Roberts also suggested that the reason Democrats have distorted Project 2025 so much is because they know it is a very attractive policy agenda for average voters.

"The American people want to return to normal," he claimed. "They want to return to commonsense policies, and when they look at Project 2025 ... most Americans ... realize, 'Gosh, we agree with that.'"

"You know it's good when people are actually out there and attacking it," Savage quipped.

Savage further claimed that Democrats and leftist media outlets like Rolling Stone have issued a "very long list of lies" about Project 2025, including that Trump and other Republicans want to "monitor[] women's pregnancies" and "gut the separation of powers." While Roberts agreed that leftists have frequently lied about Project 2025, he noted that they have accurately portrayed one Project 2025 agenda item.

"We call for the utter elimination of the U.S. Department of Education," Roberts stated proudly.

Roberts went on to explain that leftists cleave to the Department of Education because it is the means by which they "indoctrinate our kids, generation after generation." That's why they are "scared" of eliminating it, he said.

They are apparently so "scared" of ending the DOE and other Project 2025 ideas that some activists even managed to hack "a very old third-party vendor website" affiliated with the Heritage Foundation to try to extract personal information about its personnel. Roberts told Savage and Peterson that he and his group takes this and other threats from Democrats seriously and that they are prepared to take legal action if necessary.

"It's going to be lawful, but you have picked the wrong fight," he said.

Finally, Roberts claimed that he understands why the Trump campaign has distanced itself from some aspects of Project 2025. "The presidential campaign runs in its lane, the Republican Party runs in its lane, and those of us who are offering personnel and policy from the outside are offering or doing what we do," he explained.

"Project 2025 exists to be of service to ... decision-makers, starting with the president."

EXCLUSIVE: Overwhelming Majority Of Swing State Voters Oppose More Ukraine Funding Without Border Deal

Battleground state voters are growing hesitant on sending additional aid to Ukraine and are more focused on border security in the U.S. as border crossings and illegal immigrant apprehensions have hit record highs under the Biden administration, according to a poll obtained first by the Daily Caller. The poll was conducted by The Heritage Foundation […]

Here's what actually defeated the atrocious ‘border’ bill



The war bill that the Senate tried to pass off as a “border” bill has been defeated — and it’s all thanks to conservatives around the country.

“We collectively — the big, royal 'we' — killed the border non-security part of that bill,” Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts tells Glenn Beck.

And it’s all thanks to conservatives around the country who have awakened to the reality that our government is not acting in the people’s best interest — and taken action.

“What I have been saying for the last 24 hours, Glenn, to friends around the country, is, 'Guys, this is an example of the good things that happen when we wake up,'” he adds, noting that “we have to stay engaged.”

One of the ways to stay engaged is to clear the Senate of the people who aren’t doing the right thing.

“I don’t know how you feel about McConnell,” Glenn tells Roberts, “but I think he’s got to go.”

“Politically, he’s the icon of everything that’s wrong in Washington because what’s wrong in Washington — and it’s connected to the World Economic Forum, as you know — is that these people decide, just a handful of people, they’re going to tell us what’s best for us, and they demand that we eat it,” Roberts says.

“I actually think this defeat yesterday of this bill shows that there is, politically speaking, blood in the water, that his leadership is really weakened,” he adds.

Roberts believes this might precede a retirement announcement for McConnell.

“Thankfully, as you know,” he tells Glenn, “there are a number of good potential replacements who would fix the problem.”

To hear the full conversation, watch the clip below.

Republicans propose bill to prohibit US from funding the World Economic Forum



Several House Republicans are pushing a measure that would bar the U.S. from funding the World Economic Forum.

"No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum," the briefly-worded bill declares.

Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania has been joined by GOP Reps. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, and Matt Rosendale of Montana in introducing the proposal, according to a press release.

"The World Economic Forum doesn't deserve one cent of American funding, and it's past time we defund Davos," Perry said, according to the press release.

"The Defund Davos Act would ensure that U.S. tax dollars are not funding the World Economic Forum and their reset on our way of life. I thank Congressman Perry for leading this important effort," Tiffany said, according to the press release.

During the WEF's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week, Argentinian President Javier Milei delivered a speech in which he discussed capitalism, as well as the miserable failures of socialism. "The state is not the solution, the state is the problem itself," he said.

During an appearance on a panel at the WEF meeting, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said that members of the next conservative presidential administration should reject all of the ideas ever proposed at the WEF.
