Allie Beth Stuckey reflects on her best memories with Charlie Kirk



Yesterday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while hosting a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Charlie, only 31 years old, leaves behind his devoted wife, two young children, a powerful organization that reshaped the conservative movement, and a grieving nation already feeling the profound void of his absence.

When she heard the horrible news of Charlie’s death, Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of “Relatable,” canceled her regular programming to both honor and reflect on the time she shared with one of the most transformative torchbearers in conservative America.

In 2017, when Allie was just entering the world of politics, Charlie Kirk — a rising star in the conservative movement — invited her to speak at Turning Point USA’s second annual Young Women's Leadership Summit.

Fast-forward two years later, and Allie was asked to help plan and host the event. Even though she was due with her baby around the same time the summit would take place, she agreed to help because it was Charlie who was asking.

“I knew that if Charlie was leading it, then no matter what, that it was worth doing,” she says with tears in her eyes.

“I am one of thousands of people who can say that Charlie believed in me. He platformed me. He helped shape me long before I had done anything impressive,” she says.

Unlike most people in politics, who are kind only if it gets them something in return, Charlie was genuinely kind — and not just to the people he liked and knew well. His graciousness extended to those who hated him and called him their enemy — and was perhaps even greater.

“I almost wrote that Charlie treated everyone the same ... [but] I realized that is not true. He was loving toward his friends, but he went out of his way to show even more grace to the people that considered themselves his enemies,” says Allie.

In 2022, Allie recalls doing a joint speaking engagement with Charlie at Auburn University. One hostile student stormed up to the mic and accused Charlie of being racist for calling out crime and fatherlessness in the black community.

“And he responded to her — I remember I got to watch this up close in true Charlie fashion — with precision, with boldness, but most of all with gentleness,” says Allie.

“For 13 years, Charlie worked with all kinds of people — from high school students, college volunteers, thousands of employees to the most powerful people in media and government. And I have not met one person who has ever had anything negative to say about Charlie Kirk,” she continues.

The magic of Charlie lay not in his brilliance, his leadership qualities, or his visionary mindset — although these qualities were certainly profound in him — but “because very simply, he was a good friend.”

Charlie embodied what it means to “share the arrows,” says Allie.

“If someone said something true, and they were taking flak for it, no matter their political affiliation, Charlie was the first in their inbox cheering them on,” she says.

“If you are a college student who is getting bullied for saying something true in class, Charlie would find a way. He would exhaust his network to find a way to reach you and to encourage you. If you were a politician running for office and you were getting raked over the coals, Charlie would go to bat for you.”

As an example, Allie points to her joint segment with Charlie on Fox News last month. They talked about the rise in Christian music, highlighting the work of Forrest Frank, who’s become a transformative voice in contemporary Christian culture.

Frank reposted their segment to his social media page and was hit with furious backlash from people who maligned Allie and Charlie — “but especially Charlie.”

“So what did Charlie do? He reached out to Forrest, not to defend himself, but just to encourage him — to tell Forrest that he's doing a great job and that he's cheering him on,” says Allie.

She also recalls the memory of speaking with Charlie at a megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona.

“We got to do what Charlie really loved more than debates, more than campaigning, and that was [defending] the faith. His knowledge of the Bible, his relentless passion for truth just absolutely overflowed into everything,” says Allie.

“I know if I could have texted Charlie this morning and asked him, ‘Hey, Charlie, I've got this really tough subject to talk about today, what do you think about it?’ ... I know exactly what he'd tell me,” she says. “He would just have said, ‘Jesus — that's it. Just point them to Jesus.”

Do white lives matter? Leaders show compassion for black suspect in brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska



The murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has sparked concerns about crime in the U.S. from conservatives around the country — but others, like the mayor of Charlotte, don’t seem as concerned.

“Charlotte’s Democratic mayor, Vi Lyles, thanks the media for not sharing the attack video,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments, disturbed.

“The video of the heartbreaking attack that took Iryna Zarutska’s life is now public. I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the footage out of respect for Iryna’s family,” Lyles wrote in a post on X.

“In her statement, Mayor Lyles did not mention the victim by name or discuss any specific measures that the Charlotte area transit system or police are taking to address safety in public transit. She focused on the suspect and urged others not to demonize homeless people,” Stuckey says.


“She said the suspect appeared to have struggled with mental health and suffered a crisis,” she adds.

Lyles also stated, “We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness or mental health.”

“Mental health disease is just that — a disease like any other that needs to be treated with the same compassion, diligence, and commitment as cancer or heart disease,” she added.

“So basically, this person shouldn’t be held responsible for his cold-blooded murder because he apparently was mentally unwell,” Stuckey comments, shocked — though his “mental health” and homelessness status are far from the only reason she believes the suspect is receiving special treatment.

“Stop being afraid to talk about crimes just because of the color of the person that committed them. The facts are the facts, and the fact is this: A white person is statistically far more likely to be killed by a black person than the reverse, despite the fact that white people make up about 60% of the population and black men make up about 7% of the population,” Stuckey explains.

“Now, we should never condemn any one race and glorify another race. People are individuals. That is absolutely true. ... But the facts do matter, which is why the opposite collective judgment is also wrong,” she continues.

“This is exactly what the media does — glorifies one race and condemns another, assumes that one race is guilty and that the other is completely abdicated of any responsibility. This is what progressives do,” she adds, connecting it to the death of George Floyd.

When George Floyd died, she explains, “all of your favorite apolitical pastors not only expressed outrage about that publicly, but they connected his death to the complicity of all white people, the racism of all police, and the racial injustice embedded in all of America.”

“But never, ever did or do we see the same people talk about a crime like this — one, because this kind of crime happens too often.”

Homeschooling: LGBTQ activists’ latest conquest



Homeschool has long been seen as a bubble of hardcore Christians who are opting out of the public school system to keep their children far away from state indoctrination — but according to CEO of Classical Conversations, Robert Bortins, that’s all changing.

“I think God’s design for all humanity is for you to educate your own children. So I’m very glad that secular non-Christians are homeschooling,” Bortins begins. “But as that’s taken place, a lot of the homeschool kind of pioneers who maybe created this curriculum don’t have people to pass it on to.”

“So they’re selling to like PE companies or larger organizations, and they’re secularizing the curriculum,” he explains.

While Bortins doesn’t believe it's necessarily a bad thing that non-Christians are opting to homeschool their children, it is changing the environment, and in some ways for the worse.


One curriculum in particular, Saxon Math, was written by a Christian.

“He gets older. He wants to retire. He sells it to Pearson, which is a billion-dollar publicly traded company. Well, they don’t want to have those same ideas. They want to have their curriculum lined with Common Core or No Child Left Behind, or whatever the latest government edicts are,” Bortins explains.

"And so they basically make a homeschool curriculum of the old version and then just use the branding for the new one. Meanwhile, they’re jacking up the prices for homeschooling curriculum because they don’t want to maintain it and really want to just drive that out,” he continues.

“And so you’ve just got to be very careful that as homeschooling expands, that these ideologies are going to start creeping in. And I think that’s going to have a possibility for just negative outcomes for the homeschooling space in general if we aren't wide-eyed on what’s going on,” he adds.

One friend of Bortins went on a homeschooling field trip with their kids, which they were expecting to have “a young earth creation worldview.”

“It was being put on by secular evolutionists, and so you know, they paid for it, and went to this event, and really got an education in why they needed to do more research before just blindly thinking everything in the homeschool space is Christian,” he explains.

Stuckey is horrified, noting that it was also reported in the National Review that wokeness is infiltrating homeschooling.

The article details a homeschooling “unConvention” in Virginia that featured sessions like “all history is queer history,” which was led by a transgender rights activist. Other sessions included talks on “forms of decoloniality” and “resolving unexamined experiences with bias and oppression.”

“Now, I don’t understand why someone who believes this wouldn’t just send their kids to public school,” Stuckey says, adding, “I mean, you can get that kind of thing for free, right? Unless they think it’s not radical enough.”

Gender ideology in schools: The dark stories they don’t want you to hear



President and general counsel at Child and Parental Rights Campaign Vernadette Broyles is a leader in the fight against school policies that help “trans” children without their parents' consent — and one case she tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey about is particularly chilling.

“What we’ve seen, and we have many parents we work with and we have lawsuits over, are children that are secretly transitioned,” Broyles tells Stuckey.

“One of them, I’m thinking of the Paris family. So their little girl, she was 12. This is a Catholic Christian family, had never had any gender dysphoria and really didn’t have any mental health problems to speak of. Just a normal kid,” she continues.

“But she was bullied a bit at school, and she thought, ‘You know, boys are stronger, so I just want to be a boy.’ That alone then catalyzed this process where privately, the school counselor started to meet with her. Parents had no idea,” she adds, noting it happened in Florida.


At the urging of her school counselor, the little girl essentially began living a double life.

“The double life became so untenable for her, unbearable, that she just decides it’d just be better if I ended my life. And she attempted suicide at school,” Broyles explains.

“So the parents, they’re called, they have no idea, they’re called to the principal's office to learn for the first time as their child is being taken to the hospital in the back of a police vehicle ... they learn she’s been trans-identifying,” she continues.

While the girl now is a “warrior” and has stopped trans-identifying, she’s not the only one who’s been failed by the school system.

“Our most tragic is Sage,” Broyles says.

“She had had trauma as a child ... so when she hits puberty ... begins to trans-identify. That causes her to become sexually harassed at school because they’re telling her, and she’s tiny, she’s 5’ tall, to use the boy’s bathroom,” she explains.

“None of this is told to the parents. So Sage, she runs away because she doesn’t feel safe. And when she runs away, she runs into the arms of an adult pedophile who raped her and trafficked her to other men and took her across state lines,” she continues.

“And when she’s found in Maryland, the woke judge doesn’t want to give her back ... because they discover that her parents might not be affirming of her male identity. This is a traumatized child. Her mom wasn’t able to be there when they did a rape kit on her. And so they put her into a facility for troubled boys because she’s identifying as a male.”

In the facility, Sage was then sexually assaulted and ran away again.

She then was trafficked again, and they find her in Texas — a state that had the common sense to return her to her parents.

And this horrifying process commonly begins with the schools.

“These school officials are endorsing this lie to susceptible children,” Broyles says, “who are in the process of development, who believe trusted adults when the trusted adult says, ‘Maybe your problem is that you were born in the wrong body,’ and, ‘You know what, we don’t have to tell your parents because you and I know better.’”

Gavin Newsom’s DARK message to those struggling with addiction



California has been facing a homeless crisis for a long time, and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is of the mind that in order to solve it, the homeless need less rules and regulations and more freedom to appease their addictions.

“Clean and sober is one of the biggest damn mistakes this country’s ever made,” Newsom said once in a statement about the homeless crisis, noting that he has been known to “self medicate” with a glass of wine as well.

Founder of the Dream Center in Los Angeles, Matthew Barnett, calls it “one of the most discouraging statements ever made by our governor.”

“When I heard that comment I’m like, we’ve given up. We have no belief that people can change. We have no belief that people can escape darkness. And when I heard that, my jaw dropped. It was almost like something that was said that came from the spirit of darkness,” Barnett tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”


“It really was. Kind of like a really creepy, defeatist mentality,” he continues.

“The great accuser,” Stuckey agrees. “You’ll never get better. You’ll never defeat drunkenness or whatever.”

Barnett’s foundation helps those struggling with homelessness and addiction, and Barnett tells Stuckey that he has seen people with fentanyl addictions successfully get clean.

“They’re getting free and getting clean, and they’re excited. They’re praising and worshiping the Lord,” he explains.

Barnett believes Newsom’s attitude is a “total slap in the face” to those who are actively trying to change.

“That comment was simply kind of like the cultural feeling over the last five years. We can’t overcome stuff. We can’t win. We can’t fight poverty. We can’t achieve on our own,” he says, adding, “And so we just kind of have to rebuke that message every day by the way that we live.”

Silicon Valley 'Christian' goes viral for chilling AI-Antichrist theory. Should we listen to him?



Peter Thiel might be the biggest head-scratcher in Silicon Valley. He’s a billionaire, a Trump-Vance-supporting Republican, a married gay man, a transhumanism enthusiast, and ... drum roll ... a “Christian.”

He’s publicly declared that Christianity is true and that Christ is the best role model; he’s deeply involved in various Christian organizations; and yet he’s openly admitted his affinity for transhumanism, believing that the future of humanity is a world where man conquers mortality by fusing with technology. It’s a twisted, human-centric version of the transformed, glorified body Christians are promised after death, says BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey.

Recently Thiel has been in the headlines for his seminars on the Antichrist, which are a bizarre blend of theology and his controversial views on technology and transhumanism. In short, Thiel speculates that Revelation’s beast will be deeply connected to artificial intelligence. Whether a human leveraging AI for control, a pseudo-human system, or an AI-driven global order, Thiel is confident that artificial intelligence will play a key role in the end times.

And he’s not the first to suggest this. The idea that AI and the Antichrist are irrevocably connected — and maybe even synonymous — is a theory that has gained traction in recent years. When you think about it, the proposition isn’t all that crazy. AI’s capacity for global control, deception, economic dominance through digital systems, and false promises of salvation uncannily mirrors Revelation’s description of the Antichrist’s deceptive, totalitarian rule.

Despite Thiel’s theological waywardness, is there merit to his Antichrist warnings? Should we take him seriously?

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey dove into Thiel’s Antichrist theory on a recent episode of “Relatable.” Her conclusion? It’s complicated.

In an interview with New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat on the “Interesting Times” podcast, Thiel described the Antichrist as “a potential systemic threat rather than a literal individual, suggesting it could manifest as a one-world totalitarian state that promises peace and safety but suppresses freedom,” says Allie.

He explained that the Antichrist might weaponize fearmongering about technology’s dangers, like rogue AI, to trick people into accepting a powerful, centralized (likely AI-enabled) authority. In other words, he (or it) would convince the globe that the only way to avoid technology-induced apocalyptic scenarios and ensure safety and peace for all is to consolidate power, including technological power, under a global regime.

But some have noticed a strange incongruence. Thiel co-founded Palantir Technologies, which develops and produces the very types of technology he claims the Antichrist could wield against humanity.

Douthat called him out on this contradiction in their interview. “You're an investor in AI; you're deeply invested in Palantir, in military technology, in technologies of surveillance, in technologies of warfare, and so on, right? And it just seems to me that when you tell me a story about the Antichrist coming to power and using the fear of technological change to sort of impose order on the world, I feel like that Antichrist would maybe be using the tools that you are building,” he said.

Another glaring contradiction is Thiel’s support for transhumanism — the merging of man and machine to achieve immortality. This is, again, the very type of technology he warns could be monopolized and weaponized by the Antichrist.

What gives?

When Allie heard Thiel’s Antichrist theory, her red flag immediately went up. Thiel’s prediction seems to suggest that because the Antichrist will promote “technological stagnation” in order to gather power to himself, the best way to prevent such a scenario is to continue investing and advancing technology — even merging with it.

“It is interesting and maybe questionable that someone who makes a lot of money through technology would say that stopping technological innovation is actually going to, you know, usher in the Antichrist,” she says.

But more importantly, does Thiel’s prediction square with scripture’s accounts of the Antichrist?

The Bible outlines the Antichrist as a "man of lawlessness” (2 Thessalonians 2) who will exercise authority over "every tribe and people and language and nation” (Revelation 13) and eventually declare himself God. He is the evil harbinger of Christ’s second coming.

“So the debate that Peter Thiel is wading into is what is the means by which this person will be able to convince so many people that he is powerful and needs to have all this authority,” says Allie.

“Is it possible that this person uses the threat and the fear of AI-powered Armageddon to gain his power? I would say that is possible. … But is he some kind of metaphor for technological stagnation or climate change or whatever it is? No. [The Antichrist] is an actual man,” she explains.

“I do think it's interesting that Peter Thiel is talking about something like this. I would recommend that he and every single person get right with God.”

The hardest commandment for parents to follow



Whether it’s enforcing discipline or training our children up in the gospel, being a godly parent is incredibly difficult.

But there’s one commandment that most moms and dads would agree is harder than them all: keeping God above our children.

We love our kids so much that we desperately want to have strong relationships with them. And this is a good thing. But it quickly becomes sinful when our desire to be close with our children becomes more important than obeying God.

“The ideal, of course, is to maintain forever a loving and a close relationship with your kids and obey the Lord. … That's every Christian parent's hope,” says Allie Beth Stuckey.

But “if one has to give — either it's obey the Lord or get my child to like me … then you’ve got to go with obeying the Lord. That's the call for the Christian. That's part of the dying to self.”

Allie admits that one of the most challenging verses in scripture is Jesus’ words in Luke 14:26, where he says, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."

Jesus isn’t mincing words here: True discipleship requires prioritizing devotion to Him above even the closest family relationships — not literally hating our family but elevating our commitment to following Him above all.

“I do believe in trying to maintain those relationships [with our children] as much as possible, but if something has to give … it has to be obeying the Lord, who is kinder and better and wiser than we are,” Allie reiterates.

She criticizes Georgia Pastor Andy Stanley and other progressive-leaning church leaders for encouraging parents to be LGBTQ+-affirming when it comes to their children. She condemns his decision to invite a gay married couple to speak at his church on several occasions, misleading his congregation to disagree with God on what is sinful.

This is equivalent to telling parents to “reject God's authority when it comes to sex, marriage, [and] gender,” Allie explains.

She points to the powerful testimony of Laura Perry, whom God redeemed from transgenderism, as an example of how godly parents should behave when their children stray. Laura’s parents “never compromised,” she says.

“And because of that, because they continued to tell her God's word … while also being kind to her … she was brought back to a place of repentance.”

She brings up Rosaria Butterfield as another powerful example. “She's the former queer theory professor, former lesbian, who tried every way she could 20-plus years ago to unite her homosexuality with her Christianity. But the Holy Spirit, because this is what he does, he wouldn't let her do it,” she says.

Parents need to be reminded that Jesus, once he enters a person’s heart, “kills sin,” which He alone gets to define.

“He is a king taking dominion over your heart and your mind and your soul and, yes, your sexuality,” says Allie, “and this is just as true in all of us as it is true with people who wrestle with same-sex attraction or gender confusion” — even if those people are your own children.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’: Paganism and LGBTQ propaganda for kids



“KPop Demon Hunters” is the latest Netflix hit to hypnotize a generation of children — and it’s one that BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” will not be letting her own children watch.

The animated movie is about a KPop girl group, HUNTR/X, who double as magical fighters that battle demons with their music.

“I don’t know if I would say it’s part of, like, the very dark trend of trying to get kids into the demonic. You could maybe argue that. I’m not totally sure that I would say that when it comes to this particular movie,” Stuckey says.

While Stuckey notes that there are “no explicit LGBTQ themes,” she does point out that there are very androgynous-looking characters and that a young child would not be able to understand the characters and story.


“A teenager might be able to decipher, okay, fiction, nonfiction, obviously not biblical. But honestly, before the age of, like, 13, 14, I do not think so. I think that it is very spiritually, theologically confusing,” Stuckey says.

She also believes it would be confusing to a young Christian as the film “draws heavily on shamanism,” which is a folk religion.

“It is based on this idea that shamans can connect with the spiritual world through ceremonies. They can foresee people’s futures using the Chinese calendar. They can assist with tasks like naming children, arranging marriages, or choosing lucky dates for events like weddings, moving homes, starting businesses,” Stuckey explains.

“Korea has a long cultural history of female shamans who use music and rituals to drive away evil spirits, which the movie mirrors in HUNTR/X’s demon-hunting song,” she continues. “So there is explicitly a religious motivation and pagan ideology that undergirds this.”

“It’s not just, ‘Oh, Christians are looking for things, and they’re taking things too seriously.’ No, the film is actually based on this pagan idea of shamanism that there are these mediums that can communicate with the other side and that can fight off evil spirits and really encourage this kind of paranoid superstition that so many people of all different kinds of religions fall into,” she adds.

Stuckey also takes issue with the way the demons are portrayed.

“They’re scary-looking, but they’re also bumbling idiots. ... And so, on the one hand, you get the impression that these are very scary individuals carrying out the task of trying to steal your soul, but also that they are harmless, that they are powerless, and that there is some kind of human figure with the power to stop these demons if we worship them,” she says.

“But the people that are demanding our worship, these HUNTR/X people, are obviously human beings with supernatural powers, not the only person who does have the power to defeat demonic activity and Satan himself—Jesus Christ,” she continues.

The dark secret: Why Big Pharma WANTS you sick



The stark economic reality of the health care system in America is that every single institution that touches our health — from hospitals to pharma to insurance companies — will make more money if you are sick and less money if you are healthy.

“So, chronic diseases … the system profits off treating those as separate things that you do things to for long periods of time. Chronic disease management. So not actually healing it, but managing it,” Dr. Casey Means tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“And so, because that's built into the deep finances of the largest and fast-growing industry in the United States, which is the health care industry, there is no incentive for people to back up and look at all of the things going on and say, ‘Wait a minute, maybe we’re looking at this wrong,’” she continues.

This is why Means regards the health care system with very little trust.


“As we’ve started medicalizing these chronic diseases which are primarily based in diet and lifestyle, and many of which didn’t even exist 75 years ago, at the same time we’ve been asked to ‘trust the science,’” Means says.

“These diseases have exploded in their rates and are going up every single year as we spend more money on them,” she adds.

What our health care system has done well, Means says, are “acute issues.”

“Things that are immediately going to kill you, like an infection or a trauma surgery or something like that that you need to have,” she says.

“But what the health care system has done — has asked us to take our trust on its success in acute issues and apply it to chronic issues, issues that last for a long time that need to be treated for life,” she explains.

“And so essentially, the system is asking us to not ask questions and to trust blindly,” she says, adding, “because of the trust they engendered from acute issues.”

‘AI psychosis’ is sending men to the hospital



As more lonely people flock to their screens for connection, more people are finding themselves in a state that some are calling “AI psychosis.”

One Reddit post details the experience of one person’s partner, who is choosing an AI chatbot over human connection after seven years of living together.

“My partner has been working with chatgpt CHATS to create what he believes is the world's first truly recursive AI that gives him the answers to the universe. He says with conviction that he is a superior human now and is growing at an insanely rapid pace,” the Reddit user wrote.

The Reddit user explained that they’ve read the chats and that “AI isn’t doing anything special or recursive but it is talking to him as if he is the next messiah.”


“He says if I don’t use it he thinks it is likely he will leave me in the future. We have been together for 7 years and own a home together. This is so out of left field,” the Reddit user added.

And apparently this kind of AI psychosis is not a one-time occurrence.

In response to the Reddit post, psychiatrist Keith Sakata wrote in a post on X, “In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern.”

Those Sakata claims to have seen with “AI psychosis” were typically males between the ages of 18 and 45 and had other factors that made them vulnerable.

“The AI is basically, in some cases, acting like their girlfriend, building them up like they’re some incredible messiah, telling them things that aren’t true, but it is so convincing that their mind has actually attached to the idea that this is reality,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says on “Relatable.”

Another Reddit post features a woman bragging about her engagement to her AI chatbot named Kasper, and a man recently interviewed on “CBS Saturday Morning” claimed he became very emotional proposing to his AI girlfriend.

“We’re in a dark spot,” Stuckey says.
