Dark politics changed her mind about Christianity



After covering a little too much darkness in the world, journalist Jessica Reed Kraus of House Inhabit has opened her Bible and started on a spiritual journey.

And BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is not only thrilled to hear it but well-aware that encountering darkness can often lead someone to the light.

“I hear from a lot of people who previously, they didn’t believe, or maybe they were just agnostic, and they didn’t know that it was actually seeing evil, in whatever context, some people it’s Hollywood, for some people it’s politics, for some people it’s in their own life, that kind of turns the light on,” Stuckey tells Kraus on “Relatable.”

“And they’re like, ‘Oh, if there’s objective evil and darkness, then there must be objective goodness and light too,’” she adds.


“Absolutely,” Kraus agrees. “That’s sort of an underlying theme now, is good and evil and darkness and light and what you’re giving your energy to.”

Some of the darkness she had seen prior to beginning her spiritual journey is attributed to covering celebrities like Britney Spears, whose fall from grace has served as entertainment for the masses — and one she could no longer cover after a certain point.

“When it weighs me in a negative and sort of a dark way, I will usually kind of back away,” she says.

However, Kraus didn’t always feel drawn to the Bible, as growing up around liberals, the topic of God was “shunned.”

“You just kind of instinctively know not to bring up God and religion,” she explains, noting that when she was working on the campaign trail with the Trump team and the Kennedy team, it couldn’t have been more different, and people were very open with prayer and faith.

“It felt like it was a really cool thing to witness,” she adds.

Iranian terror suspects snuck in while 'Biden was asleep at the switch'



The number of Iranian nationals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been steadily climbing since President Trump’s strike on Iranian nuclear sites — but former immigration Judge Andrew Arthur warns it’s not going to die down anytime soon.

A press release from the Department of Homeland Security confirmations that “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 11 Iranian nationals illegally in the United States over the weekend.”

“ICE also arrested a U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran. The weekend arrests reflect the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities,” the press release continued.


“It’s important to note the fact that under the Biden administration between February 2021 and November 2024, which is the last report, we have 1,750 different Iranians were apprehended entering the United States illegally. There were more than 7,000 who were stopped at the ports of entry,” Arthur tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford.

“Those apprehensions represent a 20-fold increase over the seven-year-period prior to President Biden taking office. So we saw a huge number of Iranians come to the United States,” he continues, “but here’s the much more important danger.”

“At the same time that the Biden administration was releasing millions of aliens apprehended into the United States, 1.9 million others snuck by Border Patrol agents,” he explains, noting that Biden’s lax border policy made it “very easy for the Iranian government to sneak hundreds, thousands, of other assets into this country while the Biden administration was asleep at the switch.”

No whites allowed? Al Sharpton vs. South African refugees



The Trump administration has allowed 54 South African immigrants into America after claims that white farmers are allegedly being killed in the country — and one man is very unhappy about it.

“The New York Times is saying that President Trump is saying to white Afrikaners from South Africa, ‘I’ll give you refugee status.’ So we’re bringing in white Afrikaners who we don’t know if they’re criminals, we don’t know what they went through in the legal process in South Africa,” Al Sharpton said on MSNBC.

“But people right here in Newark, we’re going to assume they’re all criminal,” he continued. “It is as blatantly double standard as one can get.”


“I don’t understand how 54 people have caused this big of a dustup when we’ve watched hundreds of thousands walk over our border for four straight years. This whole situation, it’s baffling to me. But it’s not baffling in terms of there’s so much stirred up racial division, and anything that appears to benefit white Christians in any way can be spun into, ‘Well, this is racism,’” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“They are looking, as you said, solely based on race,” T.J. Moe agrees. “We have rigged up this society to believe that white people cannot possibly be victims, so if we allow these white victims into America, now that destroys our narrative.”

“I think that’s what they’re looking at here. They can’t possibly demonstrate any sort of empathy. These are white people. Doesn’t matter that they’re only 7% of the population over there and that they’re being murdered and that President Trump calls it a genocide, none of that matters. It only matters that they’re white,” he continues.

“These South African farmers,” he adds, “there’s only 7%, but I think they own something like 75%, 80% of all the farmland in South Africa and produce like 95% of the goods. They’re incredibly productive people, and so these are refugees that you would want here.”

President Trump goes SCORCHED-EARTH on AOC



Beloved member of “the Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has reignited the impeachment discussion that President Donald Trump has been embroiled in since his first term as president for launching a military strike on Iran without congressional authorization.

"The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on social media, charging that Trump "has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

Trump, appearing unscathed, then went scorched-earth on AOC on Truth Social.

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before. The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration,” Trump wrote on the app.


“The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again. When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country,” he continued.

Trump then took it even farther, adding that “AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical.”

“I think the one thing we’ve learned from Truth Social is that there’s no character limit,” comedian Derek Richards laughs on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“That is perfection, though,” BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden chimes in. “He slammed everyone.”

Trump's SHOCKING plan to deter illegal immigration using ALLIGATORS



If detention wasn’t scary enough for illegal immigrants, President Donald Trump is preparing an off-the-grid facility aptly named “Alligator Alcatraz” to house some of the most violent illegal aliens in America.

The facility is being constructed in Florida’s “Alligator Alley” on a 30-square-mile property in the Everglades called the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, home to a “virtually abandoned airport.” The facility will house 5,000 beds for criminal illegal immigrants.

“The governor tasked state leaders to identify places for new temporary detention facilities. I think this is the best one: as I call it, ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a promotional video on X.


Uthmeier said the location presents "an efficient, low-cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility" because even if they tried to get out, they’d have a hard time surviving.

“There's not that much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons," he said. "Nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide."

“I’m sure that the left will come back and say, ‘But it’s expensive. It’s like $450 million a year,' they’re saying, 'to maintain.' However, if you contrast that to, say, the Roosevelt Hotel over in New York City that they were housing all of these illegals,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments, “that just cost New York City taxpayers about $575,000 a night.”

“By the way, these were human traffickers, child abusers, gang members,” she continues. “Laken Riley’s killer, there.”

“And crime being committed in the hotels,” comedian Derek Richards chimes in. “They were talking about people being raped in the stairwells and the rampant drug use.”

“If they complain about the $450 million it’s going to cost, we sent them to El Salvador and you didn’t want that, did you? So take your pick: El Salvador or alligator heaven,” BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden adds.

Drunk on air? Former intelligence officer pulled off live TV



During Fox News' coverage of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade, contributor and former Defense Intelligence Officer Rebekah Koffler appeared on air with slurred speech and exaggerated gestures, leading viewers to speculate she was intoxicated.

In a now deleted post on X, Koffler wrote prior to the interview, “Well @POTUS is apparently encroaching on my airtime! My hit is moved to 8:20-8:30 pm depending on how long #Trump takes. I’m honored. Refilling my #champagne glass while waiting for my hit!”

Accompanying the sentiment was a photo of a bottle of champagne.

When she was asked on air what her thoughts were on the “incredible symbolism” and “messaging” of the event, her response was almost unintelligible.


“I’m so excited, Emily and Lucas Tomlinson,” Koffler said to Fox News anchors Emily Compagno and Lawrence Jones. “Everybody, like, this is incredible! Finally, the United States is back! I want to really thank all of our Army, Navy, and Air Force officers who’ve been sacrificing their lives, literally. Their families have been contributing to the mission.”

“With our new commander in chief, Donald J. Trump, they are prioritizing America first. And I want to thank these officers for all of their sacrifices and all of the hardships that their families have endured,” she continued, adding, “Lawrence Jones, you’re doing ... you’re rocking, man!”

Her segment then ended when the Fox and Friends hosts cut her off and quickly went to a commercial break.

Koffler claimed she was simply having an audio issue, but BlazeTV host Pat Gray isn’t buying it.

“I say she was drunk,” Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

Trump derangement final boss: Ilhan Omar claims Somalia is better than America



Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) isn’t known for her measured political takes, which is why it’s no surprise that she’s not only comparing President Trump to the Somali government — she's saying he’s worse.

“I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights,” Omar said on “Democracy Now!”

Omar went on to liken Trump to “a failed dictator with a military parade” and claimed that "this was not the country we were born in.”

“You were not even born here, sorry,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “You don’t get to lecture me on what President Trump does and whether or not it’s a dictatorship, and it’s just so laughable.”


“Compare what President Trump has done so far compared to Somalia,” she says. “He revoked DEI foreign aid, over 100 Biden-era policies, he started mass deportations, declared a national emergency at the border, used DOGE to cut a s**t-ton of money and positions, pulled from the WHO, Paris Climate Accords, pardoned some of these J6ers, pro-life advocates.”

“Doesn’t sound very dictator-ish to me,” Gonzales says. "Meanwhile, over in s**thole Somalia ... over in 2006, the Islamic Courts Union took control of Somalia — most of it — and strictly enforced Sharia law."

"You had an extremist group in 2011 challenge the Somalian government for control," she continues, "and through Sharia law, enacted executions, forced amputations."

“If you stole or if you violated the dress code, you got your appendages chopped off,” Gonzales adds, noting that in 2021, the president signed a law to extend his term in office and wouldn’t leave.

“But yes, no totally, this is just like Somalia, totally like Somalia, where President Trump is trying to protect American citizens and roll back regulations rather than cut people’s hands off when they steal,” she says.

Decoding Trump’s mixed messages — is he secretly preparing to bomb Iran?



Since Donald Trump’s unexpected exit from the G7 Summit this week, he’s made several comments on social media that hint at an escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict.

French President Emmanuel Macron told the press that Trump’s early departure was tied to Iran negotiations, but Trump fired back on Truth Social that he couldn’t be more wrong.

“Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘cease fire’ between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire,” Trump wrote.

“Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!” he added.


Trump’s following posts have then ranged from hopeful sentiments reflecting peace between Israel and Iran to talks of peace being “fabricated, fake news.”

In one post, he wrote that we “have complete and total control of the skies over Iran” and that the U.S. does not plan to take out the “so-called Supreme Leader,” making sure to add “at least not for now.”

Trump also wrote “unconditional surrender” in another post.

While BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales herself is confused as to what Trump’s next move is, she explains that “that’s exactly what you want in these situations.”

“Because the other side, the Kim Jong Un, the Vladimir Putin, the Iranian leaders, don’t exactly know if he’s crazy enough to do it. That’s exactly what I want from a leader,” she says.

“He’s not one of these people who just wants to be involved in war,” Gonzales continues. “That’s never been who he is, and you cannot convince me that anyone even in his ear could convince him otherwise, because that is an actual moral, a value, that he has had throughout his entire adult life.”

Trump's warning: What it will take for America to join Israel's war with Iran



This past Saturday, Israel continued its Operation Rising Lion with attacks on Iranian gas and oil facilities, Iranian Ministry of Defense buildings in Tehran, and missile launch sites in Tehran.

President Donald Trump responded to the attacks on Truth Social, writing, “The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”

“However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!” he continued.

The U.S. does have many assets currently in or near Israel, including military troops, U.S. diplomats, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, patriot missile batteries, fighter jets, and U.S. Navy destroyers.


“Trump hints that the United States might get involved if Iran hits our assets,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says. “That was a pretty strong statement that President Trump said, right? If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might is going to come down on you at levels never seen before.”

“He hints that the United States might get involved. But we’re using our assets to already protect Israel, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone if Iran attacks our Patriot missiles, our THAAD system, any of those assets,” she continues.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, also said in response to the attacks that there is “well-documented and solid evidence of the support provided by American forces in the region.”

“Therefore, the U.S., in our opinion, is a partner in these attacks and must accept its responsibility,” Araghchi said.

Gonzales notes that it would be hard for the U.S. to dispute this accusation, as President Trump had just spoken about Israel’s use of American weapons before the attacks.

“It’s just like if a gun manufacturer makes a gun, and then eventually someone gets sold a gun and they go on to do a school shooting or murder people or whatever. Is it the gun manufacturer’s fault? Of course not,” Gonzales says.

“This is Iran just begging, begging for the United States to get involved,” she adds.

Sanctuary cities beware: Mass deportations ahead



Democrats are up in arms after President Donald Trump has threatened to send ICE into sanctuary cities and start deporting illegal aliens en masse — which he explained on Truth Social in signature Trump fashion.

“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History …” Trump began in a post on Truth Social.

“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” he continued.


“In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,” he added, before calling these cities the “core of the Democrat Power Center.”

While Republicans are on board, Democrats continue to push the idea that illegal immigrants are at the heart of America, which they say would not be what it is without them.

“It seems like we have this big lie that’s being told in our country that our economy cannot function without the participation of these people in it,” Texas Rep. Mitch Little (R) tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“And to that, I just say, let’s find out,” he adds.

But it’s not just the illegal immigrants whom Little takes issue with.

“I’m also very concerned about the ongoing participation of China in our higher education,” he explains. “This is not really a place for us to be making exceptions.”
