The dark side of Ms. Rachel she doesn't want you to see



Known to millions as “Ms. Rachel,” Rachel Griffin Accurso has built a massive following on YouTube through educational songs and videos for toddlers. But as a mother herself, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is not among the parents who allow their children to watch Accurso’s content.

“This is just a reminder for the parents that you never can be too careful with what your children are watching. There’s a lot out there that is going to completely indoctrinate your children,” Gonzales explains.

“And one of the ones to be on the lookout for is Ms. Rachel,” she says, calling her “the worst” for “multiple reasons.”


“She ... brags about how she plans to brainwash your children. She has chosen her latest political stunt,” Gonzales says, pulling up an article from Fox News with the headline, “YouTube star Ms Rachel declares ‘I am political’ in new mission to shut down ICE facility.’”

“She said it’s her goal to close down the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas. And she wants the federal government to return the illegal immigrants to where they were living in the United States,” she explains.

“So crazy to me because I didn’t hear her say anything about the 300,000 unaccompanied alien children that were turned over to unvetted sponsors by the Biden administration. ... I didn’t hear any outrage from Ms. Rachel about the children who have been impacted, who have been killed, who have been raped, who have been tortured by all these illegal immigrants that you want released back into the interior of the country,” she continues.

Gonzales points out that Ms. Rachel also was caught liking a comment on one of her political Instagram posts that read “Free America from the Jews.”

Accurso then released a social media video explaining herself, saying she’s “a human who makes mistakes” and that she would “never agree with an anti-Semitic thing.”

“I don’t understand how to work my phone,” Gonzales mocks.

“She knows what she’s doing. She also has a long and sordid history of being pro-Palestinian,” she adds.

Overlooked Trump WINS that have crowned him ‘the true patriarch of the nation’



Since most of the media outright ignores or denies President Trump’s wins since taking office last year, BlazeTV host John Doyle is taking a moment to appreciate them.

And the first win is the homicide rate.

“This is obviously something that America has struggled with, we’ll say, in the advent of diversity, civil rights law, police brutality, things of that nature,” Doyle explains.

According to the Council on Criminal Justice, the U.S. homicide rate is at a projected 125-year low, which is the lowest level in recorded history at four per 100,000 people.

“So yeah, we are very optimistic about the crime thing because nobody trusts the Democrats to actually handle that properly,” he says.


“Another thing that I think has been very good for us, the construction of the patriot border wall,” he adds, pointing out that Trump is making good on one of his major first-term promises.

“Perhaps his most famous campaign promise,” Doyle says, pulling up a recent article titled “A massive border wall expansion is underway” by the Washington Post.

The article details Trump’s $46.5 billion plan to build hundreds of miles of new southern border barriers at a pace of three new miles per week.

“Being the Washington Post, it’s going to spend a lot of time complaining about environmental impacts. But ... this is obviously a major victory for the Trump administration, for America,” he continues. “It’s proof that we are indeed heading in the right direction.”

But there’s more good where that came from.

“Another thing, which is immediately affecting American patriots: rent. Rent prices. They are actually at the national level beginning to decrease. It’s unbelievable,” he says, pointing out that according to the reventure app — which is a real estate data and analysis platform — rent prices are down across the country.

“As rent prices decrease and renting becomes cheaper than owning, like theoretically, selling prices on homes will also be forced to drop,” Doyle says.

And to Doyle, these wins have crowned Trump “the true patriarch of the nation.”

“He will make our cities great again,” he adds.

Glenn Beck: Trump’s anti-corruption task force signals 2028 succession strategy



President Trump started a task force on corruption led by JD Vance — and it’s a move that Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes is telling when it comes to whom President Trump will be choosing as his successor in 2028.

“I want you to think of everything through the eyes of 2028. And let’s look at the board the way a strategist would look at it,” Glenn begins.

“Where’s Marco Rubio right now? Marco Rubio has more jobs than anybody I’ve ever met. He is, right now, exactly where you’d expect him to be: deep in foreign policy, standing shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump and the administration in one of the most volatile geopolitical moments in my lifetime,” he explains.

Glenn calls the current situation in Iran and Israel the “highest stakes” he’s “ever seen a president play at.”


“High visibility, high risk, and whoever is with it is either a hero or a villain. And if it works, there’s stability. There’s lower oil prices. There’s a real peace dividend by '26 or '27. And Rubio will look like an amazing statesman. He becomes the natural heir, the man who helped steady the world,” he explains.

However, if the war doesn’t end and costs continue to rise, Rubio’s position “is an absolute anchor.”

“Where’s JD Vance right now on this issue?” Glenn asks.

“I’ve heard rumors — he’s not really with the president on this one — but I haven’t seen any statements, and I haven’t seen the president say, ‘Yeah, he’s kind of weak on this,’” he says, though he notes that Vance is very big on rooting out fraud and corruption.

“You have one potential successor tied to global outcomes that he can’t fully control, but he’s going to be tied with that. Another one being given a domestic mission that can be prosecuted daily, case by case, headline by headline, building a narrative that feeds directly into the next campaign,” Glenn says.

“JD Vance is going to be the guy against Gavin Newsom, because he’s going to find the corruption in California. So that pits him against Newsom. By 2028, we’ll know what the Republican message will be. Not just growth, not just strength abroad, but this: Your government was looted. The biggest theft in American history happened,” he explains.

“And we stopped it. That’s a pretty powerful argument against governors like Gavin Newsom or any other Democrat running on expanding programs and increasing spending and promising more systems, because the counter is going to be simple,” he continues.

“If it goes well, you have the possibility of the two best candidates I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, because we will know on record what they are capable of doing. We will have seen them in action,” he says. “This is how you build a successor without naming one.”

American hostage to finally return home after Taliban captivity



An American hostage has been released by the Taliban after more than a year in custody.

Fox News reported Tuesday that Dennis Coyle, an American academic who spent nearly two decades in Afghanistan before being detained by the Taliban without charges, has finally been released after more than a year in near-solitary confinement.

'Today, Dennis is on his way home.'

Coyle, 64, was taken from his home in Kabul in January 2025.

"The United States welcomes the release of American citizen Dennis Coyle, who was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan for more than a year," Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler said in a statement to Fox News.

Earlier this month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Afghanistan as a state sponsor of wrongful detention, writing on social media, "The Taliban continue to use terrorist tactics to seek policy concessions, but it won't work under this administration. The Taliban must release Dennis Coyle, Mahmood Habibi, and all Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan."

On Tuesday, Rubio celebrated Coyle's release as "a positive step towards ending the practice of hostage diplomacy."

"Earlier this month, I met Molly, Amy, and Patti as they asked for help freeing their brother Dennis Coyle from detention in Afghanistan. Today, Dennis is on his way home. We thank the UAE and Qatar for their support," Rubio said on social media.

Coyle's family told Fox News that Coyle had been working legally as an academic researcher to support language communities in Afghanistan.

He was seized on January 27, 2025, just days after another American, Ryan Corbett, was released at the start of President Trump's second term, CBS News reported on the anniversary of Coyle's detention.

Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Coyle's release on social media. A section of the translated post on X reads: "[The release] has further strengthened the atmosphere of trust between the two countries. Likewise, it expresses the hope that both countries will, in the future, find ways to resolve the remaining issues through mutual understanding and constructive dialogue."

Habibi's status is unclear. The U.S. government, including the House Foreign Affairs Committee, claims he was taken hostage by the Taliban in August 2022. The State Department has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his whereabouts.

CBS News reported in January that the Taliban denies that they arrested him.

Trump issues WARNING to Republicans who don't vote for the SAVE America Act



President Donald Trump is throwing his full support behind the proposed SAVE America Act, framing it as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overhaul U.S. elections and restore public confidence in their right to vote.

And he’s not going to let those who oppose it off so easily.

“The Save America Act is one of the most IMPORTANT & CONSEQUENTIAL pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and America itself. NO MORE RIGGED ELECTIONS! Voter I.D., Proof of Citizenship, No Rigged Mail-In Voting (We are the only Country in the World that allows this!), No Men in Women’s Sports, No Transgender MUTILIZATION of our Children,” President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“Only sick, demened, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. If they do, each one of these points, separately, will be used against the user in his/her political campaign for office — A guaranteed loss!” he added.


“We have one chance to secure elections,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “Do you remember what it felt like sitting in front of your television, watching on X as election results in 2020 rolled in? Do you remember the outrage that you felt as we saw anomalies, what appeared to be lawbreaking activity, happen before our very eyes?”

“So I challenge you today. This is what we should challenge our senators today. How many of those anomalies on that ill-fated evening in November of 2020 could have been prevented by the provisions that now exist in the SAVE America Act?” she continues.

“And for those on both sides of the aisle, on the left and on the right, who contend that anomalies are not proof, are not evidence, of fraud, OK. If no fraud existed whatsoever in any way, shape, or form, then why oppose the SAVE Act?” she asks.

“If it won’t change the outcome because no fraud existed — fraud played no part in those elections — then the SAVE Act couldn’t change the outcome,” she says, adding, “so you couldn’t possibly oppose it on any reasonable grounds, could you?”

Glenn and Pat respond to ayatollah rumor: 'There's no gay people in Iran, right?'



President Trump was reportedly stunned to find out that the new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, may be gay.

According to sources, Trump was so shocked upon hearing the information that he even laughed when he was briefed on the development.

And Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck’s reaction isn’t much different.

“Did you see that the ayatollah’s son might be gay?” Glenn asks BlazeTV host Pat Gray on “The Glenn Beck Program.”


“Yes,” Gray answers, adding, “Which is impossible of course, because there’s no gay people in Iran, right?”

And according to former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Gray is right.

“In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals,” Ahmadinejad claimed in 2007, as homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran.

“He’s not apparently really a devout Muslim, because he’s [allegedly] having sex with men, apparently,” Glenn says.

“And that might be why his dad wasn’t that excited about him taking over,” Gray chimes in, adding, “Because he’s gay.”

America’s founders risked the gallows. What are we risking?



America is only months away from celebrating its quarter-millennial birthday — officially billed as “America 250” and even, in some quarters, a “Super Centennial.” But will America make it another 50 years, all the way to its tricentennial? Even as President Trump wages an existential conflict abroad, another one rages at home.

Without question, the country has lived a long and remarkable life. But the world also knows it has not been free of grave danger. Go back 165 years to the Civil War, and you’ll find proof that the American experiment can wobble — and nearly break.

‘We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.’

Even at the nation’s birth, the outcome was not guaranteed. The men who signed their names to independence did so knowing that the newborn republic could be stillborn. In the eyes of King George III, they were committing treason.

That fragility hit me again recently on one of my many walks through Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in my neighborhood of Sleepy Hollow, New York. Sleepy Hollow is the final resting place of captains of industry — families such as the Rockefellers and Carnegies — as well as Washington Irving, America’s first internationally recognized literary giant.

Inside the cemetery’s borders stand monuments commemorating the dead of both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. They are stark reminders of how fragile a nation’s life can be.

The words carved on the Revolutionary monument still land with force.

In Memory

OFFICERS and SOLDIERS
of the
REVOLUTION
who by their valor
sustained the cause of liberty

on these historic fields.

While we honor the dead, we should remember the courage of the living — including those too old to take up arms themselves. When Benjamin Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence, an act of treason in the eyes of the Crown, he is said to have offered a grim assessment: “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

That line came rushing back when Susan Rice laid out what amounts to a warning shot about the next round of political retribution. On a recent podcast, Rice promised a reckoning for those who “take a knee to Trump,” and she made clear that Democrats, once back in power, will not "play by the old rules.”

Her message was simple: Align yourself with Trump — or with the tens of millions who support him — and your time “is not going to end well.”

For anyone who watched what happened to people swept up in the post-Jan. 6 dragnet, the implication is not subtle. The left’s appetite for lawfare is real. And it rarely stops with the obvious actors. It metastasizes. It broadens. It looks for new targets.

So what can derail the Democrats’ destructive engine?

The answer may be hiding in Franklin’s line: Hang together.

President Trump has made two standards central to national survival: secure borders and honest elections. The border is more secure than it has been in years. But Congress still hasn’t delivered the SAVE America Act — and that failure matters.

Within months of July 4, 2026, Americans will again head to the polls. The choices will be stark, and Democrats will not be shy about what they want: revenge, institutional capture, and a reset of the country on their terms.

Two things now matter, and they are not complicated. First, patriots must keep pressure on elected officials to pass the SAVE America Act. Second, they must show up and vote in overwhelming numbers this November. Nobody gets to sit this one out.

That’s how Republicans keep their majorities. That’s how Trump’s agenda survives. And that’s how the country avoids another round of “fundamental transformation” — imposed by people who have already told you they plan to discard the old restraints.

‘The level of mistrust runs too deep’: Auron MacIntyre’s warning to establishment conservatives



A growing identity crisis is shaking the conservative movement, as longtime tensions between grassroots audiences and establishment voices boil over in our increasingly digital age.

According to BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre, the chaos is driven by years of mistrust built first between the mainstream media and their own audiences, and now between conservative institutions and their audiences.

“To say that the conservative movement has come off the rails would comically understate the damage,” MacIntyre begins.

“Plenty of commentators blame podcasts for this new disorder, and the new ecosystem gives them no shortage of bad behavior to cite. But that diagnosis misses the deeper cause,” he says, pointing out that the “deeper cause” is, conservatives are now replicating the legacy media’s attitude toward their listeners.


“Establishment conservatives treated their audience the same way the legacy press did: as a resource to be managed, manipulated, and occasionally milked. A movement that spent decades being lied to will not be stitched back together by scolding the people who finally stopped listening,” MacIntyre says.

“Democrats screamed about disinformation, warned about the dangers of free speech, and then launched research projects designed to replicate what they claimed to hate. The right cheered the upheaval. Establishment conservatives, however, never fully grasped what the shift meant for them,” he continues.

“Trump didn’t rise only as a battering ram against progressive media. He rose as a middle finger to conservative establishment media as well. That plan worked and then kept working in ways that many people didn’t anticipate,” he adds.

Now, MacIntyre explains, “conservative gatekeepers” are mimicking the “panicked reflexes the left showed” as they accuse others of “dangerous rhetoric,” call for “deplatforming,” and ask for “responsible voices to regain control.”

“These instincts never belong to one ideology. They belong to institutions that sense their monopoly slipping away,” he says.

Now, MacIntyre is warning conservatives that they “can’t lecture podcast audiences about responsible broadcasting after years of manipulating their own viewers.”

“The level of mistrust runs too deep. Censorship will fail too. Shaming and platform policing didn’t rebuild credibility for Democrats, and it’s not going to rebuild credibility for Republicans, either,” he adds.

Liz Wheeler questions Joe Kent’s resignation letter — ‘You owe us the receipts!’



On March 17, Joe Kent resigned from his position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in protest over the Trump administration’s ongoing war in Iran. He claimed he could not “in good conscience” support the conflict, arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S. and that the war was started due to pressure from Israel and its American lobby.

BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler was taken aback when she read Kent’s accusatory letter.

“This is a very big claim that Joe Kent is making,” she says.

On this episode of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” Liz unpacks Kent’s letter and explains why she’s skeptical of its contents.

“He is making the allegation that President Trump was duped ... with false information into embarking on this military operation in Iran, and he claims that this trickery happened at the hands of Israel and the Israeli lobby in the United States,” she says, summarizing the allegations listed in his letter.

“He further claims that there is no evidence in the intel community, which he would be aware of as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, of an Iranian threat,” she adds, calling it “the scandal of the century” if proved true.

Liz is unwilling to entertain Kent’s claims until he can provide hard evidence.

“Where’s the evidence of this?” she asks. “If you are so certain that President Trump’s military operation in Iran is essentially based on manipulation by the Israelis and that Iran posed no threat, ... shouldn’t you show us evidence of this?”

While Liz welcomes a “whistleblower,” she demands the “receipts.”

“If you make a claim of this enormity — I mean, the implications of a claim like this being true would shake our nation — then you owe us the receipts. You need to show us the evidence of this,” she insists.

But Kent’s lack of evidence isn’t the only cause of Liz’s skepticism.

She considers his recent podcast appearances a calculated “media tour” on which he speaks only to hosts who are the “least likely to ask the most important questions.”

“To go on a media tour insinuates one of two things,” she says, “that either you have information of severe corruption — so severe that it could not be remedied internally — that you have to take this to the American people rather than go the legal whistleblower route internally in the intelligence community, or there’s some kind of other attention that is being sought.”

Liz acknowledges Kent’s traumatic history — he “lost his first wife” to “an ISIS suicide bomber”; however, the information she currently has makes her believe that Kent is “behaving as an opportunist.”

'This could set the world on fire': Why Joe Kent's resignation letter may 'fracture public trust'



Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center under Donald Trump, abruptly resigned and accused both Israeli officials and U.S. media figures of orchestrating a misinformation campaign that led America into war with Iran.

“President Trump, after much reflection, I’ve decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote in his resignation letter, which he posted to X.

“This is so damaging,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck comments. “This is Pentagon Papers stuff. This is as important as the Pentagon Papers. This is going to possibly change the course of America.”


Kent went on to claim that “high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.”

“This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again,” he continued.

“This is going to set the world on fire,” Glenn says, disappointed.

“This is a senior official in intelligence saying in real time that the United States has entered a war under false pretenses, that Israel got us into the first war in Iraq and now they duped the American president into fighting this war,” he continues.

“This is going to fracture public trust. This is the worst letter that could be done, that I have ever seen ... our allies now are going to be questioning our judgment,” he says, adding, “Our enemies are going to exploit this like crazy.”
