Did Bibi Netanyahu just insult Jesus? Allie Beth Stuckey sets the record straight



Benjamin Netanyahu has recently come under fire for his comments comparing Jesus Christ to Genghis Khan at a recent press conference — but like most clips that go viral, it doesn’t tell the full story.

“Unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good, aggression will overcome moderation,” Netanyahu said.

“So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies led by the United States have to reassert their will to defend themselves,” he added.

While many conservatives were in an uproar after hearing Netanyahu's comments, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey believes that some nuance and context are required in order to understand what he meant.


“He’s quoting an American historian, Will Durant, he was a Catholic. He turned into an agnostic as an adult. And his 1968 book, you see that actually at the beginning of the full clip, that he is quoting this book called ‘The Lessons of History,’” Stuckey says, before reading the full clip.

“Nature and history do not agree with our conceptions of good and bad; they define good as that which survives, and bad as that which goes under; and the universe has no prejudice in favor of Christ as against Genghis Khan,” Durant wrote.

Netanyahu later clarified on X that the outrage was “fake news” regarding his “attitude toward Christians” and that he “did not denigrate Jesus Christ.”

“A morally superior civilization may still fall to a ruthless enemy if it does not have the power to defend itself. No offense was meant,” the prime minister added in another post.

“Now I disagree that he is insulting Jesus Christ here. He actually seems to me to be making an effort to caveat what he’s saying, that unfortunately he says, unhappily, it’s not the way of Jesus that wins wars,” Stuckey says.

“However, it was also an unfortunate way to make his point because the quote, I think, is a misunderstanding of the Christian worldview. We do serve a Jesus who tells us, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are the meek, blessed are the poor in spirit,’” she continues.

“The characteristics of the Christian life are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. But there is also the just war theory that Christian thinkers over time have taught that asserts that there are good reasons to wield violence in defense of the innocent against the wicked,” she adds.

Stuckey points out that in the Old Testament, there was a demand for war and violence by God.

“I’m not saying that the Old Testament is a justification for America’s wars,” Stuckey says, adding, “It is to say and to point out that one cannot state that in principle God is always against war and violence.”

TSA lines are INSANE for this ridiculous reason



A prolonged funding standoff in Washington is beginning to hit Americans where it hurts — at the airport. With the Department of Homeland Security still unfunded, tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration workers have gone weeks without pay.

The lack of pay is now contributing to long lines and staffing shortages across the country, and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey’s father, Ron Simmons, argues that the Democrats are to blame.

“This is something that the Democrats are holding up. Any of you that are on spring break or coming off spring break while you’re listening to this, and you had these terrible long lines at some of your airports, then blame the Democrats,” Simmons says on “Relatable.”


“And if you live in a blue state, call your Democrat senator’s office. This is so crazy. They think they’re doing something to ICE, but what most people don’t know, this doesn’t even affect ICE or border security,” he says.

“Those were funded through the Big Beautiful Bill for the next three years. There’s $170 billion of funding already set aside for them. This, essentially, the biggest thing it hurts is TSA. Fifty thousand TSA employees have gone without a paycheck, at least one, and coming up on going without two paychecks,” he continues.

However, Simmons doesn’t believe the strain on TSA will last much longer.

“I do think they’re going to end up cutting a deal on this one pretty quickly because I’m sure the pain that some of these senators are feeling from their constituents is getting more than they want to bear,” he says.

Allie Beth Stuckey credits Christian education for shaping her faith — and debate skills



BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey credits not only her parents but her faith-based education — from kindergarten through high school — with shaping her worldview and skill set.

“My dad always said that he would do whatever it took, however many hours he had to work, however many shifts he had to work, to make sure my brothers and I attended a Christian school,” Stuckey says.

“I went to the same Christian school from kindergarten through 12th grade. Was it perfect? No. I had some not so great teachers. The culture wasn’t always the best. The community wasn’t always the best,” she continues.


“I would not trade my education for anything. In addition to the Holy Spirit and my parents, my kindergarten through 12th grade education is responsible for instilling in me the word of God, the ability to memorize it, to defend it, to think logically, to reason, to read, to write, to argue,” she explains.

“That just goes to show how crucial it is to disciple your kids from an early age because what they learn now, they will keep with them as adults, even more than the things they learn as adults,” she adds.

Stuckey points out that after her viral Jubilee debate, she was asked by several people how she prepared herself to take on such a large number of liberals.

“Yes, it took a lot of practice and preparation and skill, experience. Yes, my parents in so many ways prepared me for that just by how they raised me. But also, 13 years of Christian education, a decade of Awana, eight years of youth group, decades of Sunday school,” she explains.

“You just can’t beat the evangelical upbringing when it comes to knowing the Bible. And I am so thankful for it. I use it every single day,” she adds.

Stuckey doubles down on dinosaur skepticism after Netflix docuseries: 'This is a fantasy'



When BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey first publicly questioned the narrative surrounding dinosaurs, she was called “dangerous” and “disgusting” for attempting to poke holes in paleontology.

But that response only made her “more resolved” in her skepticism.

“It is not that I don’t think that giant animals existed a long time ago. It is just that I don’t think we know what they looked like and that we don’t know what they sounded like. I know we’ve got fossils and different things like that. We actually don’t have any complete fossil of a T-Rex, for example,” she explains.

“We’re just kind of going a little bit on deductive reasoning and vibes. We definitely don’t know that they had scales. We definitely don’t know what a pterodactyl sounded like, and we’re all just supposed to believe it because ‘the science,’” she continues.


And the latest Netflix docuseries “The Dinosaurs” isn’t putting Stuckey’s beliefs to rest either.

“Earth, 66 million years ago during the great reign of the dinosaurs. Majestic creatures, giants and monsters, that can often seem more imagined than real,” Morgan Freeman says in a clip from the docuseries.

“That was an Easter egg right there from Morgan Freedom, that they seem more imagined than real, because they are,” Stuckey comments.

As Morgan Freeman continues to narrate, he also continues to make grand claims about breeds of dinosaurs, which Stuckey points out may as well have the same bone structures as chickens.

“This is a fantasy they have. This is the paleontologist version of 'Lord of the Rings,'” Stuckey says.

“They Darwined a little too hard, and they came up with this world, and we’re all supposed to trust these people,” she says.

“I saw someone on Instagram say, ‘You’ll believe in the Ankylosaurus, but you won’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord?’” she continues.

“You have faith, atheist. You do. You might have more faith than me, because you watch this documentary, and you’re like, ‘This for sure happened,’” she adds.

Allie Beth Stuckey shocked: 'Good Morning America' endorses ‘young adult’ novel with occultism, threesomes, and necrophilia



There’s a new young adult novel out that has America’s teen readers spellbound. It’s got mystery, romance, fantasy, and plot twists — everything a young reader craves.

There’s only one problem: It’s demonic pornography, according to Allie Beth Stuckey.

On this episode of “Relatable,” Allie and “Library 4 Kiddos” founder Anne Sey dive into the dark world of “Sibylline” by Melissa de la Cruz and explain why parents should be cautious about young adult literature.

Shortly after its publication earlier this year, “Sibylline” quickly became a New York Times best-seller and was even selected as a "Good Morning America" YA Book Club pick for February.

This shocked both Allie and Sey, because the book is full of dark and explicit content.

“Initially it was marketed to 12- to 17-year-olds, and it's very problematic, because not only does it have magic that dives into the occult — like there's seances … possession of people, necromancy,” says Sey.

“But also on page 284, there is a very graphic scene of a threesome, and it's done on the friend who they think is dead. So not only a threesome, but necrophilia.”

Allie pulls no punches about the depravity of this particular scene. “I just want to be clear about what is actually being depicted. It's not some closed-door thing," Allie explains. She goes on to outline all the depraved, explicit, X-rated ways this sexual scene is depicted in the book.

“So that is the kind of necrophilia, sexual assault that is being … not only depicted but glorified.”

Sey, who provides curated book recommendations focused on wholesome young adult literature, says, “What a lot of people don't understand … is that over half of the people reading young adult [books] are actual adults … 18 and on.”

She cites a 2024 study from HarperCollins UK that found that 74% of young adult readers in the U.K. are adults — 28% of whom are over age 28.

Publishers, says Sey, “know this” about their readership. So even though protagonists in YA novels are typically in the same age range as young adult readers (12-17), the content is often tailored to a far more mature audience.

But this can be tricky for parents, because sometimes YA authors, including Melissa de la Cruz, also write age-appropriate books for teens.

“Melissa de la Cruz is known for her middle-grade novels as well,” says Sey, referring to de la Cruz’s “Alex & Eliza” trilogy — a historical romance series that reimagines the real-life love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth "Eliza" Schuyler.

“So my fear is that parents who are not aware and who have said, ‘Well, we've read her ‘Descendants’ series or, you know, her ‘Alex & Eliza’ series’” will assume “it's okay to read this book, and it's not,”’ she tells Allie.

Allie Beth Stuckey blasts Paris Fashion Week as ‘demonic’ spectacle



BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is sounding off on what she sees as a deeply unsettling turn in high fashion, criticizing Paris Fashion Week for embracing what she describes as “demonic” and grotesque aesthetics over beauty.

“The theme is clearly to be demonic. And I don’t know what kind of statement they’re trying to make, if it’s some kind of critique of society or if they are just the demonic people themselves, but pretty scary. Obviously, not about beauty,” Stuckey says.

And those who attend the shows and praise the designers aren’t much better.

“I think that they’re all thinking about being seen, and how the world is interpreting them, and what kind of statement they’re making, and what kind of opportunity or attention this is going to get them,” Stuckey says, mocking, “‘Do people think I’m edgy finally? Oh, I bet I’m going to be the strangest, most bizarre, most, you know, edgiest person there.’”


“I think they’re all thinking about themselves. I don’t think that they are there to enjoy the art or to enjoy the spectacle. I think they are there to be the art and to be the spectacle,” she adds.

Designer Kei Ninomiya’s collection was described as “gloom” made “tangible” by Vogue Runway. The collection featured gothic horror elements of bondage and morbid animal sculptures.

“Because all of us are like, ‘How can I get my hands on some gloom?’” Stuckey comments.

“The soundtrack for the collection was labeled ‘the aural equivalent of a nervous breakdown,’” she says. “Again, I have always wanted my nervous breakdowns to become an aura that I could just kind of swim through.”

The brand Enfants Riches Déprimés, whose French name translates to ‘Depressed Rich Kids,’ also made an appearance.

“His show featured a model chained to a statue of a man’s head. ... The brand’s inspiration comes from fellow child elites the designer met in rehab as a young man,” Stuckey explains.

The designer, Henri Alexander Levy, is quoted as once saying, “If you were going to kill yourself, wouldn’t you want to do it with a $7,000 cashmere noose?”

“I think people underestimate how many people in Hollywood, the fashion world, movie industry, are truly just disturbed people who are working out their trauma and demonic possession through entertainment and fashion,” Stuckey says.

Another brand, Matières Fécales — which is French for “Fecal Matter” — claims that its collection is a critique of “wealth, power, corruption, and inequality.”

“Somehow, I just don’t feel like that’s what it’s accomplishing,” Stuckey says.

“There is something just very dark about the glorification of the demonic that we see among a lot of people in Hollywood and in the music industry,” she adds.

2026 Oscars speeches were predictable as ever — until this one caught Allie Beth Stuckey’s attention



On Sunday, March 15, the 98th Academy Awards was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honoring films released in 2025.

Acceptance speeches were a mixed bag: plenty of good-natured thanks and sweet moments, alongside the usual political remarks — including Javier Bardem’s “No to war, and free Palestine” statement, Jimmy Kimmel’s Trump and Melania digs, gun-violence references, and other commentary on wars and politicians.

But there was one Oscar speech that stopped “Relatable” host Allie Beth Stuckey in her tracks: Jessie Buckley’s.

When the Irish actress took the stage to accept her Best Actress Oscar for her role as Agnes, William Shakespeare’s wife, in the film “Hamnet,” she chose to frame the moment not around her own talent, hard work, politics, or even her historic win as the first Irish woman in the category, but around the beauty of motherhood.

After thanking her fellow actresses and the producers of “Hamnet,” Buckley turned to her husband, Freddie Sorensen, with whom she welcomed their first child in 2025.

“You, Fred, I love you, man. I love you; you’re the most incredible dad. You’re my best friend, and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you. I do!” she tearfully exclaimed.

She then addressed their 8-month old daughter, Isla: “I love you, and I love being your mom, and I can't wait to discover life beside you.”

“It's Mother's Day in the U.K. today. So I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart,” Buckley added.

Allie was pleasantly shocked by Buckley’s heartfelt speech about motherhood.

“I don't know all Oscar speeches, but I've never heard a speech dedicated to motherhood,” she says.

“Dedicating it to motherhood as an institution and saying something to your husband — ‘I want to have 20,000 more babies with you’ — that's just not usually what you see,” she adds.

Allie recalls Michelle Williams' acceptance speech at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, during which she said, “I’ve tried my very best to make a life of my own making … and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose. To choose when to have children and with whom.”

“Well, obviously, being a mom and accomplishing these things is possible at the same time,” says Allie, “and even if it's not, motherhood is better.”

James Talarico's dangerous rise to prominence



It’s not just James Talarico’s recent win against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Texas) in the Democrat primary for Senate that has turned Talarico into one of the most talked-about politicians in the state.

After first being elected to the Texas House in 2018, he gained national attention when clips of his speeches went viral online — especially his opposition to legislation involving the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

“How did this person with all of these kooky beliefs rise to such prominence?” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey asks on “Relatable.”


“He was first elected as a Texas House representative in 2018 after he defeated Republican Cynthia Flores. And he rose to prominence a couple of years ago, when he went viral for his videos of speeches on the Texas House floor opposing the legislation to display the Ten Commandments in Texas classrooms,” she explains, before playing a clip of Talarico explaining why he is against the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

“Forcing our religion onto Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and atheist students is not love. Forcing teachers to put up a poster in their classrooms against their wills is not love. Love does no harm to a neighbor,” Talarico said.

“I bet he would argue, though, that Christian teachers could be forced to call a child by the wrong preferred pronouns or could be forced to teach things about the acceptance of LGBTQ ideology even though it opposes their worldview,” Stuckey comments.

Stuckey also points out that in order to understand Western civilization or American history, children should be taught about Christianity.

“You can’t understand America without understanding Christianity, without knowing the Bible, without understanding the Ten Commandments,” she says. “So even just from a literary or historical educational perspective, displaying the Ten Commandments, I think, is really foundational in understanding the country that we live in.”

Denver pastor refuses to stay silent: ‘To stay silent on biblical issues is to be complicit with evil’



Pastor Jeff Schwarzentraub of Brave Church in Denver, Colorado, says the cultural transformation of his once-conservative state has forced him to confront a difficult reality: What were once seen as political debates are now deeply biblical issues.

“People do not migrate to Denver for community. They migrate for hedonism,” he tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable,” explaining that it’s “the happiest group of lost people on the entire planet.”

“It’s crazy how Colorado has turned so deeply secular and progressive. It didn’t used to be that way. It was a conservative stronghold for a long time, and then I guess migration from the blue states, maybe even immigration, just changed the demographics, changed the politics, and now it kind of helps, along with California, Oregon, and Washington, lead the charge for progressive radicalism,” Stuckey comments.


“Like we’re talking the most radical transgender ideology in the country has been passed legislatively in the state of Colorado,” she adds.

The pastor explains that 2020 is when Colorado took a turn for the worse, telling Stuckey that when he refused to shut down his church to combat COVID, the church received “threats from the health department, from Christians, saying ‘You don’t love us, you don’t care.’”

“And what we’ve seen is just this whole progressive ideology move. So there was a House Bill 1312 that got passed. It got modified a little bit because people put up a big fight, but basically, in Colorado, what they’re trying to do is be able to take your kids, be able to castrate them, or do whatever they want, without your permission,” he explains.

While he was raised not to get involved in politics and to instead focus on religion, he notes that these issues have changed from "right and left” to “right and wrong.”

“And so everything that I feel like I get involved with that’s quote-unquote ‘political,’ they’re just biblical issues. So the transgender issue, that’s a biblical issue. That’s not a political issue. God created two genders, male and female. You can’t even get out of Genesis chapter 1 and not believe that,” he says.

“I have no desire to make a political run. I have no desire to get involved. But to stay silent on biblical issues is to be complicit with evil, and I just won’t do it,” he adds.

‘Satan knows the Bible’: Why James Talarico is more demonic than you think



Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) uses Scripture to promote progressive political causes — and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey warns that what he is selling as compassionate theology is actually distorting core Christian teachings.

“Satan knows the Bible. He makes his lies sound scriptural, sound holy, sound good, and sound palatable to the world. And slowly but surely, chips away at our conscience, chips away at our wisdom, and leads us down a literally damning path,” Stuckey says on “Relatable.”

“And I think the person who is most prominent that represents that best, that evil disguised as goodness, is James Talarico,” she adds, before using a clip of Talarico to prove her point.

“The first two lines of the Bible, the first two lines in Genesis use two different Hebrew words to describe God. One is the masculine Hebrew noun for ‘divinity.’ The second is the feminine Hebrew noun for ‘spirit.’ God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary,” Talarico said.


“So, it’s actually true that God is not male or female like we are. He doesn’t have a body like we do. And yet, this statement is inaccurate because God consistently refers to himself as father, as king, as Lord, in masculine terms,” Stuckey comments.

“Regardless of what you think about the masculine features or the feminine features of God the Father, what is clear is that he made us male and female. There are not multiple words there used for male and female,” she continues.

“So, we see Talarico, this theme over and over again, that he really uses God as a mascot, as a means to advance his political ends,” she says, before showing a clip of Talarico turning a sermon at a local church in Austin into “some kind of political stump speech about transgenderism and abortion.”

“This summer, more than half our population became second-class citizens. Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the property of the state. And nothing, nothing is more un-Christian than that,” Talarico said.

“I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state Capitol. And you better believe I’ll be giving sermons on that too,” he continued.

“So, when I use the word ‘woman,’ it should not be understood as an exhaustive term but rather as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy,” he added.

“So, right there he gives us three positions that a Democrat of even 10 years ago would not have dared to represent publicly. One, that’s its normal and even moral to switch sexes, that it’s possible to actually switch sexes, and that it is important that people who do switch sexes, especially people who identify as so-called trans men, are able to have a taxpayer-funded right to kill their baby inside the womb,” Stuckey comments.

Stuckey also points out that by referring to women as “neighbors with a uterus” he is reducing “what a woman is into her just biological capacity” and “reproductive organs.”

And in an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” last year, Talarico also claimed that the Bible supports abortion because of the story of Jesus being conceived.

“I say all this in terms of, in context of abortion, because before God comes over Mary and we have the incarnation, God asks for Mary’s consent, which is remarkable. ... She says, ‘If it is God’s will, let it be done. Let it be. Let it happen,’” Talarico told Rogan.

“So, to me, that is an affirmation in one of our most central stories that creation has to be done with consent,” he added.

Not only does Stuckey refute his rendering of the story, she explains that Mary is “not actually consenting to that.”

“It’s not like a choice that she is making here. She simply is accepting the present reality, what God commands in that moment,” she adds.
