The $1 billion Chinese text scam flooding Americans’ phones



A recent Wall Street Journal article has exposed the real culprit behind the incessant threatening text messages Americans all over the country have been receiving as of late — which include threats over late toll payments, U.S. postal service fees, and unpaid traffic violations.

According to the Wall Street Journal, these texts are always “poised to get unsuspecting victims to fork over their credit card details,” and those behind it “take advantage of this information to buy iPhones, gift cards, clothing, and cosmetics.”

And behind the messages are criminal organizations operating out of China — who have made more than $1 billion over the past three years off the scam.

“Wow,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler comments, shocked. “I think we can all speak to this personally. I know, for me at least, I’m receiving just dozens and dozens of these things — way more than I used to.”


These criminal gangs use “SIM farms” — which are rooms jammed with boxes of networking devices — to flood people with text messages.

“You know, you neglected to pay a toll, and now you better watch out or your credit score is going to get hacked, and you’re going to be thrown in jail, and your car is going to be taken away unless you click this really shady-looking URL and give us your credit card number, and then we’re going to steal from you,” Wheeler says.

At these SIM farms — which have been found in shared offices, crack houses, and auto repair shops — the servers are “stuffed with little white cards,” the Wall Street Journal writes, “that mobile customers put in their new phones to begin making calls or sending texts.”

And Wheeler explains that it’s the Chinese communists behind it.

“The Chinese communists are stealing from us to the tune of $1 billion, just by that particular text message scam alone over the course of the past three years — $1 billion. And this, I am sad to say, is just another example of a crime committed against us by the crafty Chinese communists,” she says.

“They are not merely adversarial trading partners in a globalist economy. The Chinese Communists actively, desperately want to depose the United States and destroy us, and they’re doing so by disrupting our society socially and culturally,” Wheeler continues.

“They are attempting to destroy our economy. They are sowing civil unrest,” she says. “For goodness sake, they created a virus that spiraled us into tyranny.”

Leftist ARRESTED for plot to assassinate conservative commentator Benny Johnson



Conservative commentator Benny Johnson is the latest target of left-wing political violence, after facing threats in a disturbing copycat plot inspired by the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

George Isabel Jr. has been arrested and accused of threatening to make “orphans” of Johnson’s children only days after Charlie’s assassination.

“Benny’s a well-known media personality carrying a message very similar to Charlie’s, grounded largely in faith and love of country. Just days after Charlie’s assassination, Benny received a letter at his home, where he and Kate are raising their beautiful, beautiful young family,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement following the threats.

“The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views and he wanted Benny dead. This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this,” she said.


“You are not going to get away with threatening people in this way,” she continued, adding that Isabel is being charged federally with mailing threatening communications.

And Johnson isn’t taking it lying down either.

“To the parents out there,” Johnson tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, “this is a movement about ensuring that you can raise your kids in safety and security, whether it’s from terroristic threatening of left-wing violence, which happened to me specifically in name when this individual, George Isabel Jr., said that he would blow my head off in an open field just like Charlie Kirk and watch my blood splatter on the concrete, or whether it’s from terroristic threatening of homicidal criminals who get let out of jail time and time again and scare you and your children out of the parks and off the streets.”

“What America First is is a movement of pro-family. And why is that important? Because actually, Liz, as you know, the things that make you happy in life are having a relationship with God, falling in love, getting married, having children,” he continues.

And the reason the left hates those who have prioritized family and God, he says, is because “these people are miserable.”

“They are godless. They often don’t have families,” he adds, noting that the man who allegedly sent him death threats will be made an example of in order to stop the incessant fighting against the pro-family movement.

“You can’t have a pro-family movement of people if parents are being terroristically threatened,” he says.

CNN asks Trump if he would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell?!



After the Supreme Court declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal, President Trump was thrown into the hot seat by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who asked the president whether or not he intended to pardon her himself.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long. I can say this: that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look,” he responded, asking Collins, “Did they reject that?”

“She wanted to appeal her conviction. They said that they were not going to hear her appeal,” Collins answered.

“I see. Well, I’ll take a look at it. I will speak to the DOJ. I wouldn’t consider it or not consider it; I don’t know anything about it. I will speak to the DOJ,” he answered.


“I have a lot of people who have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy, has asked me for a pardon,” he added.

“But she was convicted of child sex trafficking,” Collins interjected.

BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler isn't impressed by Collins' line of questioning.

“Kaitlan Collins was obviously trying to set President Trump up by asking whether he would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell because she wanted to be outraged by the idea that Trump would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell,” Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“I don’t think he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, but I think it was not a question that was asked in good faith by CNN. It was an attempt to trick Trump into appearing to go soft on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein,” she continues.

“So CNN, as always, can be completely discounted,” she adds.

FBI's ‘official narrative’ on J6 continues to crumble as new details are revealed



Americans were told that the infamous pipe bomb was planted on January 5 and found just moments before the first breach of the Capitol on January 6.

However, that narrative is now crumbling.

“You have access now to information that says that this narrative that came from law enforcement originally, this is not true,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says to John Solomon, editor in chief of Just the News.

“Kash Patel has always had his doubts about what happened on January 6. And now that he’s got access to what are known as prohibited case files and other drives of evidence that Congress had never accessed before, we’re beginning to see that the narrative doesn’t hold up,” Solomon tells Wheeler.

While the FBI’s initial narrative claimed that the pipe bombs were planted by unidentifiable figures the night before, there’s no phone tracking in the time frame that matches the action of the person on video.

“And so over the last six months or so, some people in Congress like Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the subcommittee, looking at it, starting to wonder, ‘Was that a head fake? Was there something different to look at? Was this a training episode?’” Solomon explains.

“You start opening up the possibilities of things that you didn’t think about in the original analysis when it was so clean and cut and the FBI gave us a nice cookie cutter of what they thought the storyline was,” he continues.

Now, FBI Director Kash Patel has been coming out with new information, like the lab report.

“The lab report shows that both of these bombs were not likely to have been active, meaning they would not have likely exploded with the triggers that were on them,” Solomon tells Wheeler. “And they use language like, ‘If they had been properly assembled, they would have exploded, but it doesn’t look like that.’”

Expert Fred Whitehurst, Solomon recalls, explained that the report had “a lot of problems in it” and was “made to make it sound like these bombs were dangerous and terrible and those bad Donald Trump people probably planted them.”

“There are two key things,” he tells Wheeler. “There doesn’t appear to be a lot of black powder in the bomb. That would be the propellant for the bomb exploding and putting out dangerous material and shrapnel towards people.”

“And then two, if these were planted 16 hours in advance, the bomb maker had an only one hour timer on it. So if you planted them 16 hours earlier, that timer is gone in an hour. What happened?” he continues.

However, that’s when the “real bombshell” came.

“There was a witness who found the Republican National Committee bomb and that witness says there is no chance that bomb was planted 15, 16 hours before,” Solomon tells Wheeler.

The witness noticed that there were 20 minutes left on the timer for the bomb before she alerted the police.

“Now none of that fits the 15-hour narrative that the FBI had long bestowed upon the American public,” Solomon says. “And by the way, that narrative comes from the Capitol police from their video footage.”

“So it starts with the Capitol police,” he adds.

UNMASKING the radical judge who let Kavanaugh’s transgender would-be assassin off easy



A federal judge has just sentenced Nicholas Roske — who now goes by Sophie — to only eight years in prison for his attempt to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022, right before the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

Roske had armed himself with a pistol, knife, lock-picking set, duct tape, hammer, crowbar, and tactical gear after flying from California to Virginia and before taking a taxi to Kavanaugh’s address.

The Department of Justice sought a much longer sentence for Roske, but Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, said during the sentencing hearing that Roske “spontaneously confessed to and cooperated with police.”

"I believe Ms. Roske understands that what she did was terribly wrong. I find her remorse sincere," Boardman said, using Roske’s new “she/her” pronouns.


“Nicholas Roske, deliberately and in a premeditated manner, targeted for assassination a Supreme Court justice, Brett Kavanaugh, because of Brett Kavanaugh’s pro-life views. And yet, eight years is the entirety of the sentence that Nicholas Roske has to serve in prison with a lifetime of supervised release,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler comments, disturbed.

“Why? Why is that? Well, I’ll tell you why that is. It’s because Nicholas Roske now identifies as a woman. ... Nicholas Roske, a biological man, has requested to be called Sophie. We on ‘The Liz Wheeler Show’ will not be honoring that request,” she continues.

Boardman referred to Roske as a transgender woman throughout the hearing, and Roske’s attorneys told the court that Roske goes by the name Sophie and uses female pronouns.

Boardman also claimed that she factored Trump’s executive order requiring transgender inmates to be detained in prisons that correspond to their sex at birth into her decision.

“The judge is worried about his safety if he, as a man, is in a male prison. No worry, though, about the women in the women’s prisons if a biological man is incarcerated with them. Don’t worry about their vulnerability to assault, especially sexual assault. She’s worried about his safety. So she reduced his sentence because she doesn’t like President Trump,” Wheeler explains.

“What she did is she legalized left-wing terrorism,” she continues. “So now, people on the left who are committing acts of violence against us, which is happening on a daily basis right now, now she has signaled to them that as long as you have openly embraced a communist ideology, the neo-Marxist ideology of queer theory, as long as you identify as transgender, then you will be held to a different standard.”

“You will be actually rewarded by our justice system if you commit violence in the name of radical leftist ideology as long as you have put on the mantle of transgenderism,” she adds.

The DARK past of Ilhan Omar's father and how he came to America



According to journalist Ashley Rindsberg, information about Ilhan Omar’s father and his alleged role in Somalia’s Marxist-Leninist Siad Barre regime was long dismissed by mainstream outlets as conspiracy theory.

But as Rindsberg tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, the evidence paints a different picture — one the press seemed determined to bury.

“The Omars were brought or came to America under a refugee program. It gave them a special ability to enter the U.S. and to have their pathway to citizenship. And that was presuming that they were not serving in the military or the genocidal military of the country which they came from,” Rindsberg tells Wheeler.

However, Rindsberg explains that this turned out to be the case.


“This was something that was buried by the so-called fact-checking industry and the mainstream media. They called it ‘misinformation.’ They called it an anti-Muslim smear. But the reality is that Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel in the Siad Barre regime, a Marxist-Leninist regime responsible for genocide of a neighboring tribe,” he says.

“And he was a senior official in that very regime,” he adds.

“And yet he denied association with that government and claimed he was trying to escape it?” Wheeler chimes in.

“He cast himself as a so-called teacher trainer. This was the term that kept coming up,” Rindsberg says.

While the media acted as though his so-called position as a “teacher trainer” was a noble and harmless pursuit, Wheeler notes that the term sounds like a major “red flag” when “that person comes from a Marxist regime.”

“That phrase in and of itself is not convincing to me; that’s almost laughable,” she says.

When Omar’s father passed away in 2020, Rindsberg explains that there were “a lot of obituaries in local Somali-language and English-language outlets in Minnesota claiming and celebrating the fact that he was a colonel in the regime.”

“They were not ashamed of it. They thought this was something to be proud of,” he adds.

PROOF Wikipedia is a well-funded propaganda machine



If you’re looking for reliable information, Wikipedia is the last source you should consult. Branded as a free online encyclopedia of verifiable information, the website is actually a tangle of lies and left-wing bias, hence why it’s been embroiled in numerous scandals.

Recent controversies include a U.S. congressional investigation into organized manipulation of politically sensitive articles, exposés on Big Law firms hiring anonymous editors to scrub their pages, allegations of undisclosed paid editing by government agencies, and documented anti-Israel bias campaigns led by coordinated editor networks tied to pro-Hamas groups.

“This is information warfare that's happening on Wikipedia,” says Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

Investigative journalist and editor of NeutralPOV Ashley Rindsberg, who has extensively reported on Wikipedia's recent scandals, concurs: "It's information warfare conducted by ideological actors, by state-aligned propagandists, by groups that are tied to foreign terror organizations across the board.”

“It only takes about a dozen, maybe, dedicated editors to completely conquer or infiltrate a topic area and implant their own viewpoint on it and spread these kinds of falsehoods freely,” Rindsberg says.

One of the most alarming reports he has done on Wikipedia exposes a group of editors “acting on behalf of the Iranian regime,” who are “removing mentions of Hamas crimes, including terror attacks,” “whitewashing Hezbollah,” and “removing human rights abuses listed.”

For example, “one of these editors removed any mention of Hamas' genocidal 1988 charter from dozens of Wikipedia articles,” he tells Liz.

This has helped shape the global narrative around Iran and its terrorist proxies. Once information is put on Wikipedia, it then gets “pulled into ChatGPT, into Gemini, into every frontier AI model,” says Rindsberg. “It basically populates all of Google on a topic search. It is what feeds into Alexa, into Siri, and what becomes ground truth for most of us without us actually ever knowing that.”

“As it relates to domestic politics here, who's behind the Wikipedia editor efforts?” Liz asks.

Unfortunately, anonymity is one of Wikipedia’s greatest weapons. Rindsberg explains how anonymous Wikipedia editors can push biased narratives — like labeling Trump a fascist using far-left sources — without anyone knowing their identities or motives. This allows a small group to shape public views on major issues while the site enjoys trust and tax benefits as a “neutral” resource.

The other issue, he says, is that “a significant portion of the money that Wikimedia Foundation receives from donations … about $185 million in income a year — a lot of that money gets passed through to radical left-wing NGOs.”

“The other piece here is that there's significant ties between Wikimedia Foundation and Hillary Clinton and also with George Soros,” he says.

“A lot of Soros’ most senior people were put into or came to Wikimedia Foundation in 2017, which is right at the time Wikimedia Foundation redefined the mission of Wikipedia from just being an online encyclopedia into becoming a social justice movement powered by DEI.”

“I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point,” sighs Liz. “These radical leftist NGOs funded by billionaire leftists like George Soros or Roy Singham — they are behind everything.”

Pete Buttigieg TOO GAY to be vice president according to Kamala Harris



Former Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris said the quiet part out loud when she wrote in her new book, "107 Days," that her first choice for a vice presidential candidate in the 2024 election was not Tim Walz — but Pete Buttigieg.

And not only did she admit that Walz was not her first choice, but that she didn’t pick Buttigieg as her running mate because he is gay.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who is gay, sat down with Harris for an interview and put her in the hot seat over her decision.

“I guess I’d ask you to just elaborate on that a little bit. It’s hard to hear with you running, as you know, you’re the first woman elected vice president, you’re a black woman and a South Asian woman elected to high office, very nearly elected president. To say that he couldn’t be on the ticket effectively because he was gay is hard to hear,” Maddow said, disappointed.


“No, no, no, that’s not what I said, that he couldn’t be on the ticket because he is gay,” Harris responded, before trying to explain herself.

“To be a black woman running for president of the United States and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man, with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad, but I also realized it would be a real risk, no matter how, you know, I’ve been an advocate and an ally of the LGBT community my entire life,” she said.

BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler is floored.

“Imagine if this were a Republican saying what Kamala Harris just said. Imagine if a Republican went on cable news after having lost the presidential election,” Wheeler says.

“Imagine if a Republican said, ‘Actually, my first choice for vice presidential running mate, I decided against because he was gay.’ The left’s heads would explode. They would be screeching and screaming melting down like the wicked witch of the West, calling that Republican a bigot, a hateful homophobic bigot,” she continues.

And instead of admitting that she didn’t choose Buttigieg because he’s gay, she laid the blame at the feet of Americans who wouldn’t vote for him.

“Kamala Harris, her answer, she said she didn’t disqualify Pete Buttigieg because he’s gay, because she’s personally prejudiced. She disqualified — she decided not to choose him because he’s gay because you’re prejudiced,” Wheeler says.

“She didn’t have time to contend with the homophobic masses. She didn’t have time to re-educate the Christians, the terrible, hateful Christians who hate Pete Buttigieg because he’s gay,” she continues, adding, “She’s dripping with disdain for you, but she’s above board.”

Was Kimmel suspension really a violation of free speech?



Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night “comedy” show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” was suspended all of six days before ABC caved to public pressure from the left and reinstated it.

The network originally pulled the show because Kimmel made the following vile comment just six days after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated while speaking on his college campus tour: “We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

He then went on to make fun of President Trump for his reaction to being asked how he was handling the death of his friend. “I think very good,” he said before quickly pivoting to discussing a White House ballroom renovation project.

Liz explains, "When you are a public broadcast network ... ABC, or NBC, or CBS, you have a broadcast license. You're not a cable news network. You have a broadcast license from the federal government. It's issued by the FCC ... and part of the terms of your broadcast license is that you are to serve the public interest."

But the left spun the narrative that the government strong-armed ABC to suspend the show because Kimmel criticized Donald Trump.

Clearly they’ve forgotten that “he's been [mocking Donald Trump] on a nightly basis for the last decade” and has never been fired for it, says Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“Jimmy Kimmel was not fired for making a joke at Donald Trump's expense. He wasn't even fired for mocking Charlie Kirk, as despicable as he is for doing that. … Jimmy Kimmel was fired for lying about Charlie Kirk's assassin,” she clarifies, noting that Kirk’s alleged murderer has been proven to be a radical leftist.

Kimmel “lied and libeled half of the country,” says Liz.

But that’s exactly what he’s expected to do. As part of the left-wing media apparatus, Kimmel is expected to broadcast “malicious, false vilification of everyone who dared to vote for Donald Trump.”

This kind of hate-inspiring rhetoric is the entire reason Charlie Kirk is dead, says Liz.

“Children, yes, like Tyler Robinson, are indoctrinated with violent, revolutionary, neo-Marxist ideology like transgenderism. This happens in schools from kindergarten all the way through college,” and “the mainstream media and voices like Jimmy Kimmel play a large, even an outsized, role in that kind of propaganda,” she explains.

Whether it’s a teacher celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk or Kimmel’s slanderous lie that Robinson was MAGA and that Trump supporters are a violent gang, it is moral and necessary for them to lose their jobs.

“It's not cancel culture; it's self-defense,” says Liz.

‘A lion has been awakened’: The Turning Point of America is here



As news continues to break about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer — who was believed to be living with a transgender woman at the time of the assassination — even more important news about Charlie’s life’s work is breaking.

Because more important than the suspect is Charlie’s legacy — which will never be silenced.

“A lion has been awakened in our country. I’ve never seen anything like this. And there’s evidence of the impact of this lion that’s been awakened,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“The social media accounts that are associated with Charlie Kirk and his wife, Erika Kirk, and Turning Point USA saw increases of epic proportions over the past four days,” she explains.


Charlie’s Instagram, Erika’s Instagram, their Facebook accounts, Turning Point USA’s accounts across the social media platforms — all of them have cumulatively gained at least 23.3 million followers as of two days ago.

“That’s not even the most up-to-date numbers in the last couple of hours. On Instagram, Charlie Kirk’s account gained 5 million followers. He now has a total of 12.2 million. 12.2 million. That’s almost tripling,” Wheeler says, shocked.

“Tell me, are you not getting the chills?” she asks, before noting that even on TikTok, “The Charlie Kirk Show” gained 2 million followers for a total of 9.3 million.

“These numbers are astronomical,” she says.

And the producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” Andrew Kolvet, has even better news.

“I wanted to share a ... report from TPUSA. The organization has received over 32,000 inquiries in the last 48-hours to start new campus chapters. To put that in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 official college chapters and around 1,200 high school chapters, with a presence on 3,500 total,” Kolvet wrote in a post on X.

“Charlie's vision to have a Club America chapter (our high school brand) in every high school in America (around 23,000) will come true much much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined. Truly incredible,” he added.

“I am not sure that there has ever been a moment in our nation where more people felt like Jesus Christ is calling you now,” Wheeler says. “If you’ve ever thought about going to church, do it now. Go to mass, walk in, cross yourself, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to Christ, and he will.”
