'Free Luigi!' Bill Burr thinks a murdered father of two should have done some self-examination



Comedian Bill Burr made a habit in years past of poking fun of both the left and the right. However, he has increasingly been leaning left in his commentary.

In a Rolling Stone interview published on Tuesday, Burr complained about Immigration and Customs Enforcement, claiming whites are "not nearly upset as we need to be because we don't see ourselves going into the van."

'It's like, you're not the president. You’re just the CEO of a business.'

Burr — who is pro-abortion and previously criticized Florida's anti-mask mandates — also insinuated that the slaying of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which Luigi Mangione admitted to, was Thompson's fault. Burr then criticized the defensive actions taken by other major corporate executives.

"The response to the Luigi thing was not to be like, 'Well, hey, maybe we need to look at what we're doing if what we're doing makes some crazy person do this.' [Executives'] response was to take their faces off of the internet and get security."

"It’s like, you don’t think you need to examine? You know what I mean?" continued Burr. "It's like, you're not the president. You’re just the CEO of a business. Why do you need this level of security? Like, what is it that you're doing?'"

Health care executives and other Americans in the radical left's crosshairs might want more security because polling shows a troubling number of liberals support their demise.

According to a CloudResearch poll conducted in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of Thompson in December 2024, 25% of self-identified liberals were "supportive or very supportive" of the murder, and 68% said they felt at least some sympathy toward Mangione.

A recent Emerson poll found that 12.4% of Democrats said that "the actions of the killer of the United Healthcare CEO" are "completely acceptable," and 7.5% of Democrats said they were "somewhat acceptable."

This is hardly the first time that Burr has expressed sympathy with Mangione, not Thompson, who was a father of two.

Just days after Thompson was assassinated, Burr expressed satisfaction on his podcast that "f**king CEOs are f**king afraid right now," stressing they "should be."

Just weeks later, in early 2025, the middle-aged comic used his time on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to call for the release of Mangione, stating, "Free Luigi!" Kimmel laughed in response, though whether Burr meant the line as a joke is unclear.

In 2023, Burr's liberal wife made a lewd gesture to President Donald Trump at UFC 295.

Charlie Kirk reactions showed ‘just how dark some people’s hearts are’



When news broke that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated while speaking on a college campus, British podcaster Zuby was thousands of miles from home, recording podcast interviews in California.

A year later, he can still remember the shock of seeing the reports and reactions flash across television screens and social media feeds — especially the negative ones.

“I couldn’t believe it was real. It kind of felt like a weird dream. Now, reflecting back one year on from that, it’s still incredibly sad. I mean it was a massive loss. I wouldn’t say just for the USA. I wouldn’t say just for the West. I wouldn’t say just for the conservative movement or whatever you want to call it,” Zuby tells BlazeTV host Pat Gray on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“But I think it was a massive loss for the world,” he says.


“And then there was a sort of a secondary wave of upset and anger when you saw some people’s response to it, which just showed just how dark some people’s hearts are,” he recalls.

“It’s one thing for one person to do something awful, but when that happens, and it seems like hundreds of thousands or potentially millions of people may feel like, 'Oh, that was justified,' or whatever. And obviously these people are a minority, but in this day and age of social media, they’re a very loud minority,” he continues.

“It’s not a majority of people who think that that is acceptable. But it’s far more people than it should be,” he adds.

However, because Charlie was largely seen through social media, those disrespecting him in the wake of his assassination simply “see people as avatars.”

“People forget that there’s a living, breathing human being with friends and family and relationships and their own troubles and problems and so on. They just kind of see this avatar,” he tells Gray.

“They’re a liberal, or they’re a progressive, and they don’t like conservatives or they don’t like MAGA or they don’t like Trump or whatever, and they just see whoever’s in that bucket, whoever is in that box, this is how I feel about it right,” he continues.

“They’re just not really rooted in reality,” he adds.

'Me and Mom can say no': Conservatives cheer Sean Duffy for pushing back on daughter’s Harvard pitch



When Sean Duffy's daughter announced she wanted to attend Harvard University, the transportation secretary's reaction might have been torn apart by the left, but it couldn't have been more relatable to conservative parents across the country.

In a clip from their series “The Great American Road Trip,” Duffy’s daughter Paloma tells the secretary that he “can’t say no" to Harvard.

“Well, me and Mom can say no,” Duffy responded.

Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, went on to explain their reasoning.


“Catholicism, to us, is everything. It’s the basis of our marriage; it’s the basis of our family. So I’m nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard. We spend a lot of time nurturing and providing formation for our kids, giving them an environment where they are steeped in faith and values,” Campos-Duffy said.

“And so the idea of dropping her off at a place that would undermine that or try to undo all those things makes me worried,” she added.

“And again, I don’t want them to get one viewpoint. I want them to get a lot of different viewpoints, but I don’t want them fed only one viewpoint that’s contrary to the way my kids were raised,” Duffy chimed in.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is all too familiar with their struggle, telling Duffy “congratulations” for putting his foot down.

“I saw the look on your daughter’s face in that video … when you said, ‘Well, your mom and dad can say no,’ and that is so hard, and parents are dealing with this,” Glenn comments. “Why do you feel so strongly about this?”

“I think American conservative families are having this conversation every single day because they know, whether it’s a family member or a friend or a neighbor who has sent their kid off to school, and ... they come back and they’re unrecognizable. We don’t know who these kids are,” Duffy tells Glenn.

“They’ve been completely contorted and converted from these liberal institutions,” he adds.

TikTok feminism: The left’s war on motherhood has reached a disturbing new low



Why would anyone cheer for a woman accused of killing her own children?

That’s the question on BlazeTV hosts Sara Gonzales' and Dave Landau’s minds as women across the country raise money for, post supportive TikToks of, and send letters to alleged child murderer Lindsay Clancy.

“Who cheers for an [alleged] child killer?” Dave asks.

“Like her lawyer said that she has gotten enough letters to support three bankers' boxes,” he continues. “So it’s basically like 'Miracle on 34th Street,' letters to a woman who [allegedly] murdered her children.”

“This is fan mail,” Gonzales agrees. “This is not like a sternly worded letter to the manager telling her how terrible of a person she is.”


And Dave wants to know why.

“Some [women] are like, ‘Well, it’s hormonal, you don’t understand how hard it is.’ And you know, you’re a woman, what is this supposed to mean?” Dave asks.

“What it means is that we now have a culture that hates motherhood,” Gonzales answers. “These women, they have been struck by the feminist bug, and they just hate motherhood because there really is no defense to this.”

And it’s not just the letters to Clancy that bother Dave and Gonzales.

“We are living in this sort of TikTok generation of people getting their advice on how to be mentally sound through a dopamine hit-app run by China,” Dave says.

“Seems like a bad idea,” Gonzales says. “Seems like a really bad idea ... I just think that TikTok has made especially white liberal women, I just think it’s made them just worse people. It’s brain rot."

“They get one there. They, you know, like think that it’s cool now to hate motherhood. So now you’ve got all of these TikTokers that are going on and throwing ice in bathtubs to control their rage that they have at their children so that they won’t get in a screaming match with their toddlers. I kid you not,” Gonzales says, referencing a recent trend of women who have been filming themselves trying not to freak out at their kids by throwing ice cubes.

“And I’m just like, what is happening to us?” she asks.

“The only reason why you would get into a screaming match with your toddler is because you were at the same mental level with your toddler,” Dave says.

But this issue doesn’t begin with the Lindsay Clancy case or even postpartum.

“When you say that it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb, and then you say it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb up until the point of birth,” Gonzales says, “can you really be surprised that you find yourself in a place in society where now women are like, ‘OK, but not just up to birth. What about the first couple years?’”

The celebrity escape plan backfires as 2 iconic Trump haters just slunk back home



When Trump won the presidency in 2024, several celebrities made good on their promise to evacuate the United States — but that’s not stopping them from coming back.

Rosie O’Donnell famously fled to Ireland with her 13-year-old child, Clay, immediately after Trump’s win, and returned this June for the Tony Awards.

While O’Donnell had no issues getting back into the States, she made it clear that she was “worried” that it would be “problematic” the first time she returned on a secret trip in February.

“I worried the first time I came back, whether that would be problematic, and I came alone without my child, who is 13 and has autism. She’s my youngest of five,” she told Page Six in an interview. “I wanted to make sure that if anything happened, it didn’t happen in her presence, so it was fine — as it should be.”


O’Donnell explained that Trump “can’t really arrest American citizens without cause” and speaking out against him is “using freedom speech” and “is not a reason to be arrested in America.”

BlazeTV host Jeff Fisher points out that O’Donnell also called Trump an “a-hole and a con man.”

“That’s so surprising for her,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray adds.

But O’Donnell isn’t the only one.

While Ellen DeGeneres also made a big show of moving to the U.K. after Trump’s election, she purchased land in California after the move.

“They’d already sold both their homes in Los Angeles, both their mansions in L.A.,” Gray explains, “and so they had to go back home, and they bought a new mansion in Los Angeles where she spent her birthday this year.”

Ex-GOP congressman tries to save Democrats from losing redistricting war — but Hakeem Jeffries doesn't want his help



Rep. Kevin Kiley was elected as a Republican in 2022 to represent California's 3rd district in the U.S. Congress.

After the Golden State's Democratic gerrymander effectively reduced to nil his chances of getting re-elected with an "R" next to his name, Kiley filed to run as an independent in the nonpartisan primary for California's newly drawn 6th district.

'This arms race could create a new norm.'

"I've always seen my role as being an independent voice for our community, holding politicians in Sacramento and Washington accountable to serve my constituents. I answer to you, not party leaders," said Kiley, who had a 77.42% lifetime score in Turning Point Action's rating system.

On his way out the GOP door, the newly minted free agent complained about gerrymandering, noting that "both parties are complicit" and that "political division has become a serious problem for our country."

Kiley — one of the few casualties on the right of the redistricting war that Republicans are now winning in a big way thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Callais — is asking Democrats to help him pass a bill that would prohibit states from engaging in mid-cycle redistricting and changing their congressional maps more than once a decade.

The former Republican told Axios on Wednesday that he has written to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, asking the radical Democrat and his cronies to support a discharge petition that would force a vote on his ban.

"This arms race could create a new norm where maps are redrawn to gain a temporary advantage every two years," Kiley wrote to Jeffries. "The result will be chaos for our democracy: a weakening of representation, a further polarization of Congress, and a deepening of the distrust and division that threaten our country's future."

Some Democratic lawmakers who, like Kiley, are on tilt after having their districts redrawn, are receptive to the idea of a ban.

Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio), for instance, said he'd sign on, noting, "Why wouldn't I? Both parties need to get behind ending this. It's gonna kill the democracy."

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D), whose Kansas City-based district lawmakers transformed last year into a GOP-leaning Missouri seat, is another desperate lawmaker supportive of the ban, stating that "of course" he would sign onto the discharge petition.

Jeffries — whose help Kiley acknowledged was critical to the petition's success — apparently has no interest in helping the independent with his crusade.

Christie Stephenson, a spokeswoman for Jeffries, told Axios, "Kevin Kiley's unserious legislation would supercharge partisan gerrymandering by Red states while putting Democratic-led ones at a serious disadvantage."

"Leader Jeffries has no plans to support it," Stephenson added.

This is at odds with Kiley's statement earlier this month, where he noted, "Minority Leader Jeffries has announced he supports my proposal to prohibit mid-decade redistricting."

Former Democratic Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee (Texas), who passed away in 2024, introduced the same legislation to ban mid-cycle redistricting in the last Congress.

‘Low-IQ content’: Meet the left’s new ‘radical leftist hero’



Like many of her fellow liberals, progressive podcast host Jennifer Welch used the latest attempt on President Trump’s life to show her true colors.

In a segment on her podcast “I’ve Had It,” Welch mocked Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, for her response to the assassination attempt.

Dressed in all black with a black baseball cap to match what Kirk wore in her video message, Welch said, “How would you feel if the president of the United States said he wanted to wipe out an entire population? How would you feel if your husband said, ‘Because he’s famous, he can grab them by the p***y?’”

“What would Jesus do? What would Jesus do to the black pilot? How would you feel if your husband, president of the United States, was an adjudicated rapist? How would you feel about that? How would you feel?” she said.


Welch also promoted her new anti-fascist book, saying, “Make sure you preorder my book, which I would like to dedicate to one Erika Kirk.”

“Erika, the person that I’m talking about today, fascist, is you. You. You were the racist fascist about whom I am talking to. The work that your husband’s company and that you are doing to America’s youth to make them racist, narrow-minded, hateful, and bats**t crazy is an absolute disgrace. And thank you for the outfit, hashtag inspo,” she added, while her co-host laughed uncontrollably.

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is disturbed by liberals’ new “radical leftist hero.”

“It’s alarming to me that a lot of people are watching this content, let alone like one person. I don’t understand the other worthless shrew that comes into frame and starts cackling like it’s just so hilarious,” Gonzales says, calling it “low-IQ content.”

“You’re talking about Erika Kirk’s dead husband and saying that he’s a fascist because he created Turning Point USA so that young people could have a conservative organization to look up to so that they weren’t just inundated by leftist indoctrination,” she continues.

“It’s kind of depressing that people are, anyone is, consuming this content,” she adds.

Comedian claims his young daughter has trans friends — and Bill Maher shuts him down



Bill Maher has once again clashed with a liberal on his podcast — this time with comedian David Cross over transgender politics.

As the pair argued on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast about biological men competing in women’s sports, Cross seemed to believe that the existence of his young daughter’s transgender friends would be a winning argument.

However, Maher quickly responded with shock when Cross explained that his daughter’s transgender friends are 9 years old and 3 years old.

“I knew somebody who said to me ... a woman, said, ‘I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that’s what they would have done to me,’” Maher explained.


“Well, nobody’s doing this to her,” Cross said.

“Somebody is doing something, because 8- or 9-year-olds can’t do anything on their own,” Maher responded.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere and co-host Dave Landau are not surprised that Cross has adopted the opinions of the left.

“He’s in L.A., though, where he lives, so he is at the eye of the storm. So, I mean, if any of us lived in Los Angeles, our kids would have a friend who identified as trans. It would be almost impossible not to,” Landau comments.

“But I would hope, Dave, we would be able to keep our connection to reality and be able to say, ‘Look, that’s not a thing,’” Stu says.

“Three years old. This is insanity,” he adds.

“It’s a conversation that I’m shocked we’re still having,” Landau agrees.
