In a recent interview, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) urged Americans to tone down violent and divisive rhetoric — emphasizing unity and civil debate as core to the nation’s strength.
“The president has done this, knowingly divided. He uses words like, ‘the enemy,’ ‘the enemy within,’ and we’ve never used that language,” Walz said in the interview.
However, Walz has contributed to much of the inflammatory rhetoric himself, and BlazeTV host Pat Gray has the receipts.
“Think about how easy it would be to be a damn Republican,” Walz shouted on stage at a DNC summer meeting. “Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid, freaking, red hat. What should I say today? I don’t know, just make sure it’s cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy, oh, the felon in the White House.”
“That’s not divisive at all,” Gray says sarcastically on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”
“And neither is this,” he adds, before playing another damning clip of Walz.
“My record is so pro-choice, Nancy Pelosi asked me if I should tone it down. I stand with Planned Parenthood, and we won!” he yelled.
In yet another clip, Walz is confronted in a congressional hearing about calling ICE agents under the orders of Trump “a modern-day Gestapo.”
“Do you realize how disgusting that is considering the history of Nazi Germany? Would you like to recant that statement?” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) asked Walz.
“What I said congressman, and I have a long history of supporting law enforcement, I said President Trump was using them as his modern-day Gestapo,” Walz answered.
“Right,” Gray says in disbelief. “That’s the problem.”

Paul Gottfried is an American philosopher and historian who has largely been disappointed by the conservatives of the past for their refusal to enforce their supposed values, whose moderate stances have led to the LGBTQ cult takeover as well as the rise of far-left figures like Zohran Mamdani and Jasmine Crockett.
“Watching Fox News, I’ve been struck by the fact that they simply went along with gay marriage. … Last year I saw Caitlyn Jenner on Fox News ... presented as some kind of conservative transgender,” Gottfried tells BlazeTV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on "Blaze News: The Mandate."
“There seems to be a reluctance to offend groups that are seen as very powerful and may interfere with the careers of some of these establishment conservative celebrities, but this does not seem to be the case with the populist right,” he continues.
“They’re very frontal in their attack on the social cultural revolution that the country has gone through in the last 20, 30 years, and you know, they don’t hold back, which I think is much to their credit,” he adds.
This is what Gottfried calls a “spontaneous counterrevolution.”
“I cannot get over this transformation, but it has really risen from the people in a way that the neo-conservative takeover certainly did not,” he explains.
And Gottfried believes the youth who are taking on the left in a harsher way than their elders did are right to do so for the sake of the future of our country.
“I think the woke thing is more dangerous in America than communism ever was,” he tells Peterson and Savage, noting that what makes it so dangerous is what drives it.
“What drives this woke left is not utopianism or some vision of this. It is absolute hatred. It is hatred of normal people, as far as I can determine,” he explains.
“It’s pure malice that drives many of these people, where the feminists hate the men. You know, ‘I’m the victim of the patriarchy,’" he mocks. “And you look at these women, they’re living very well. How are they victims of the patriarchy?”

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump broke free of his usual pro-COVID vaccine sentiment and appeared to openly question pharmaceutical companies in a post on Truth Social.
“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” Trump began in his post.
“I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not??? They go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work,” he continued.
“I want them to show them NOW to the CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!! I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as ‘BRILLIANT’ as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why???” he added.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention insider Dr. Robert Malone, who’s been on the front lines of the vaccine fight ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, has his own thoughts on the matter.
“In public health, I don’t think that we’ve ever had a period of time, a window of time, in which the underlying culture and a lot of the established conceptions of particularly the vaccine sector being challenged so actively,” Malone tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler in response to Trump's post on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
But the COVID vaccine isn’t even close to the only one that Trump should be questioning.
“There is a culture, and it really has earned the name of the term, being a cabal. There is a culture, an obsessive culture of vaccination. And let’s be real here. Vaccines are just another pharmaceutical. That’s all they are. They are not a magic bullet that cures all infectious disease,” Malone tells Wheeler.
“Influenza vaccination is something like less, well less than 50% effective. Sometimes it’s almost down in the single digit,” he continues.
However, the “experts” refuse to acknowledge this.
“They act as if they are untouchable, that their determinations are God’s truth and shall not be questioned,” Malone tells Wheeler, adding, “This is scientism.”

As news of the beloved old country store Cracker Barrel’s “woke” makeover went viral, Americans across the country voiced their disappointment — and even President Donald Trump weighed in.
“Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before. They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again. Remember, in just a short period of time I made the United States of America the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World. One year ago, it was ‘DEAD.’ Good luck!”
Despite the obvious backlash, Cracker Barrel’s new CEO doesn’t seem to notice.
“Honestly, the feedback’s been overwhelmingly positive, that people like what we’re doing,” the CEO said on ABC News.
“I’m sorry,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage tells BlazeTV host Steve Deace on the “Steve Deace Show.” “You don’t have to be, like, a genius. You had to be online for about three minutes and you would know that people were making fun of this rollout on both sides of the aisle.”
Savage believes the new design choice reflects a larger agenda for a “soulless America.”
“They want, like, fashion trends that absolutely everybody follows and doing things that everybody else does. And that, to me, is the Soviet trend,” she explains.
“They’re trying to put this into a box that’s just like everything else. Don’t be exceptional. Don’t be yourselves. Don’t be unique. Just be like everything else,” she adds.
“So conformity over ingenuity is what you see,” Deace comments.
“Yep, absolutely,” Savage adds.

President Donald Trump’s plan to allow 600,000 Chinese student visas to be issued has Americans on the right outraged.
"I think it's very insulting to say students can't come here. Because they'll go out and start building schools and they'll be able to survive it. But I like that their students come here. I like that other countries' students come here,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting.
“And you know what would happen if they didn't? Our college system would go to hell very quickly. And it wouldn't be the top colleges; it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom. And you take out 300,000 or 600,000 students out of the system," Trump continued.
"I like having — and I told this to President Xi, that we're honored to have their students here," he added.
Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck is among those shocked by Trump’s move.
“You have to be close to the CCP to be able to travel to the United States, don’t you? You have to be well connected with the Communist Party,” Glenn says to investigative journalist and author Peter Schweizer.
“Yeah, that’s right, Glenn,” Schweizer answers. “I mean, look, the reason I think that Trump is allowing this to happen is because this is a top priority for Xi and they’re trying to negotiate a whole bunch of things, but I still think it is a mistake.”
“There are 600,000 Chinese students that come to the United States. American students going to China is a trickle. So this is not about an exchange of ideas,” he continues.
“The entire premise behind the student exchanges going back to the 1980s is that this would make the Chinese elite more like us, right? They get to know us, they become friendly, they become more Americanized. The vast majority of the hard-line aides around President Xi were educated in the United States, primarily at places like Harvard,” he explains.
This is why Schweizer believes “it’s not working.”
“The Chinese leadership is actually more hard-line now than it was under Hu Jintao or under Deng Xiaoping. And they’re more Western-educated,” he says.
And what these 600,000 students are studying is even more cause for concern.
“They’re not coming here to study comparative literature or sociology. The vast, vast majority, over 90%, are in the hard sciences,” Schweizer says, adding, “So it is stealing our secrets.”
