Auron MacIntyre warns: Conservatives are making the same economic mistake that doomed Democrats in 2024



When Biden’s White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly downplayed Americans’ frustrations over high milk and egg prices, she helped solidify the voter anger over affordability that directly contributed to the Democratic Party’s electoral damage in 2024.

BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre is concerned the conservatives are now making the same mistake.

“Conservative pundits and influencers are repeating the exact same mistake, telling consumers that everything's fine and only economic illiterates would think grocery, gas, and housing costs are too much,” says MacIntyre.

But this is disastrous messaging, he warns — especially heading into midterm elections.

“Elections aren't won by lecturing voters that their problems are imaginary. This is politics 101,” MacIntyre says. “Professional political actors adopting this strategy months before midterms is both bizarre and dangerous.”

The reality is, most Americans are still struggling in the current economic climate.

“Conservative pundits may produce charts, cite aggregate statistics, and explain that certain indicators look healthy, but none of that will save the GOP any more than it saved the Democrats who insisted that Bidenomics was working,” says MacIntyre.

Right now, he explains, “food, health care, child care, education, insurance, housing, electricity, and gasoline remain punishingly expensive.”

While MacIntyre understands that honesty with voters about the current economic situation is a death sentence for politicians, downplaying the predicament isn’t helping either.

“There's only so much Trump can do about the structural inflation and accumulating debt. He can, however, avoid taking actions that make the problem worse,” he says, pinpointing the ongoing conflict in Iran as a major contributor to America’s economic strife.

But when Americans complain that the war is driving up gas prices and forcing the U.S. to borrow or print tens of billions of dollars to pay for it, they’re called “stupid or selfish” by “the very same pundits” who support the war, he explains.

MacIntyre speculates that these politicians will “blame any disastrous midterm results on the people who oppose the conflict, but the political reality is obvious.”

“The central issue is not that voters have developed a sophisticated position on Iran. Many of them probably care very little about the strategic details. What they do care about is that everything costs more. Telling them that they lack economic literacy has roughly the same electoral appeal as shooting a puppy on live television,” he says.

Steve Deace drops a TRUTH BOMB on Caitlin Clark and the WNBA's future



Caitlin Clark has become one of the biggest names in sports, but BlazeTV host Steve Deace argues she now faces a defining moment that could shape her entire legacy. He explains that she cannot afford to remain silent on the debate over the future of women’s sports, arguing that the issue is not only about personal conviction.

“She has an absolute obligation, not just morally, but financially, athletically, to address the issues that Sophie Cunningham is speaking on,” Deace says.

Clark has remained silent on the issue of men in women's sports, as she most recently refused to comment on fellow WNBA star Sophie Cunningham's stance that transgender "women" should not be allowed on the same court.

“This is not a matter of opinion, and I don’t even think it’s a matter of conscience. I think it’s a matter of fact that Caitlin Clark has an obligation to address this,” he continues, asking, “What league does Caitlin Clark play in?”


Deace points out that Clark’s league, the WNBA, is specifically called the “Women’s National Basketball Association.”

He also notes that despite her spot as a top women’s athlete, she still wouldn’t beat a much younger all-American male athlete.

“Freshmen going into college this year. How many of them do you think Caitlin Clark could beat one-on-one?” Deace asks co-host Todd Erzen.

“None. None of them,” Erzen replies.

“She couldn’t beat the average high school star athlete. And she’s the greatest, she’s maybe the greatest female athlete in the world alive today ... so then it would seem like protecting the integrity of what that word ‘W’ means, would be vitally important to her,” Deace says.

“What would that do to Caitlin Clark’s stock to just watch these guys come in and pretending to be women and just absolutely physically just roll her, just steamroll her on the way to the basket. She could not even get a shot off,” he continues.

“So it seems as if you are profiting off of being a woman, playing in a league whose first word of its branding is ‘women’s’ … then defining what is and is not a woman would be paramount,” he adds.

When a nation rejects God, it gets Islam: Steve Deace reacts to Michigan’s primary earthquake



On August 4, Abdul El-Sayed, the radical progressive Muslim activist who has called for abolishing ICE, universal health care, codifying unrestricted access to abortion, and other far-left initiatives, narrowly beat Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.

His victory bodes ill not just for the state of Michigan but for the United States as a whole, says BlazeTV host Steve Deace, because it exposes a chilling reality about America and the direction the nation is headed.

On this episode of the “Steve Deace Show,” the former Michigan resident pulls back the curtain on what’s really fueling America’s downward spiral into radicalization, mental illness, and racial idolatry.

“Gretchen Whitmer is probably the most successful Democrat politician the state of Michigan has had in a generation. … A decade as governor, queen bee of the state,” says Deace, “and she just got rolled by an Islamist in a Senate primary who won despite her endorsement of his opponent.”

What does this say about the direction of the nation?

According to Deace, we’re witnessing an “Islam surge” in the United States because the people have forgotten or rejected America’s intentional design to function like biblical Israel under the Sinai covenant — where the people obey God and receive His protecting and blessing, and as a result, the nation shines as a “city on a hill” that attracts outsiders to the true God.

“We want to be, in a civic sense, a covenantal people of the one true God. We want His favor, which means that we need to be a nation of His instruments, and you've seen God bless that,” says Deace. “Otherwise, we wouldn't have lasted as long as we have.”

But as it was with ancient Israel, when the people stray, God’s discipline follows.

“One of the marks of a covenantal people receiving the discipline of the God you have covenanted with that you also see in the Old Testament is you're overrun with foreigners and foreign gods,” Deace points out.

He asks if America’s current predicament — being overrun with illegal immigrants and the rising influence of Islam — could be God’s judgment on a nation that has rebelled against the covenantal design its founders sought to emulate.

“The answer, of course, would be yes,” says Deace frankly.

“We disobey God to a point collectively that He then removes His restraining hand. This is Romans 1,” he adds.

Whether America “lost [its] zeal” for “the one true God” or deliberately embraced “foreigners and their ways,” the “outcome is the same,” says Deace: God gives us over to our sinful ways, allowing us to reap the consequences of our decisions.

That’s why Islam is growing in power and influence in the United States, he argues.

New York City’s socialist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani “is not an outlier but a herald,” Deace warns.

“After 9/11, we imported almost 4 million people from Islam-dominated countries,” and then we embarked on “a rebranding campaign that [Islam] is not a violent religion but one of peace,” he recounts.

“These seeds,” he says, “were planted many years ago” and are now being “[fertilized]” with “pagan indoctrination,” creating a spiritual "vacuum.”

“And nature abhors a vacuum, and the fake foreign demon gods will fill it for you. And if you won't let them, you're a racist, of course,” Deace observes.

“Normie voters,” he says, mistakenly believe that America’s biggest problems right now are “mental illness,” “racial idolatry," and “radicalization.” But those are merely “symptoms” of a far deeper and more terrifying root problem.

“The disease is you're up against a rival religion,” Deace warns.

John Doyle: Viral female drill instructor video is a ‘humiliation ritual’ for the warrior class



A resurfaced video of a female Marine drill instructor is making the rounds online, and BlazeTV host John Doyle doesn’t just find the clip awkward — he believes it’s a “humiliation ritual.”

And one user on X agrees.

A special operations veteran who goes by Woden the Wanderer reacted to the video, writing: “This is nothing more than a mockery of the warrior class. A humiliation ritual for the masculine warrior spirit that modernity needs to destroy.”

In the video, the drill instructor yells at the top of her lungs, instructing new recruits on what to do if they are being abused by other recruits or Marines.


“I’m definitely not the cloth of a Marine, and so, seeing this happen, I can’t perceive it as anything other than humiliating, especially because they’re not even allowed to laugh about it ’cause they’ll get in trouble,” Doyle says.

Doyle also points out that historically, men have always been the ones to go to war.

“It makes no difference what you think of war or if you think women should even be a part of it. War simply is. It’s been around for longer than civilization has. It will be around long after civilization has existed,” he says.

“Modern thinking cannot be transposed onto war. War has to be taken and understood at its base level. And something you’ll find across human history, across basically all of civilization, women rarely, if ever, are found in militaries directly serving,” he explains.

“It’s pretty much always been male,” he adds.

And the clip of the female drill instructor, Doyle says, appears to be more like payback for historically excluding women from masculine roles like the Marines.

“It’s done basically to shame the history of the military for not allowing women to participate. Really just like shove your face in it,” he says.

“And these kinds of humiliation rituals are plentiful,” he adds.

‘It is illegal to be white’: Auron MacIntyre calls out white woman’s guilty verdict for using a racial slur



On April 28, 2025, Shiloh Hendrix was at the park with her child when she got into a confrontation with a man after she allegedly called his child a racial slur.

The man began videotaping her, which he later posted to social media where it went viral.

Over a year later, Hendrix has been found guilty of disorderly conduct against the man operating the camera, and BlazeTV host Steve Deace — alongside millions of freedom-loving Americans — isn’t happy with the outcome.

“What does this case tell us about the current state of the culture we’re in?” Deace asks Auron MacIntyre on the “Steve Deace Show.”


“That it is illegal to be white,” he answers, pointing out that the man in the video “was accused of sexual assault against a 16-year-old.”

“So, we have a Somali criminal, sexual assaulter, doing this, creeping on this woman with a child in the park, but she says the same word he does,” he explains. “They both say exactly the same word, but one of them was convicted of a crime for doing that.”

“And the only explanation — there’s literally only one — is that she was convicted for being white. And, of course, we see this conviction alongside Anthony Fauci and his testimony this week. And as nice as it was to see Anthony Fauci embarrassed, we all know that pretty much no penalty is coming for Anthony Fauci,” he says.

“So, we now live in a country where Shiloh Hendrix can be convicted of a crime, but Anthony Fauci can kill millions of people, destroy the economy and the lives of millions of children, and receive no penalty,” he adds.

MacIntyre tells Deace that the justice system is “entirely eroding before our eyes.”

“What she’s being judged for, therefore, is her whiteness, because if two black people were saying this to one another in any context, we wouldn’t be here with any kind of a trial in Minnesota or anywhere else,” Deace comments.

“We would just call it a rap video,” MacIntyre adds. “And that’s obviously the case. This man was harassing a woman with a child in the park. He has a history of [alleged] sexual violence against minors, but she is the violator here.”

“And let’s be clear ... she was found innocent of directing the slur at the child. It was only the slur directed at the man who was harassing her, the [alleged] sexual offender ... who she was ultimately convicted of harassing,” he continues.

“Again, this is just a hate speech law,” he adds.

'Surprise! I had a baby!' Liz Wheeler welcomes third daughter



When BlazeTV’s Liz Wheeler isn’t traveling for speaking engagements, writing books, or hosting “The Liz Wheeler Show,” she can usually be found hanging out with her family — which just grew!

On July 27, the glowing mom posted on X that she and her husband were just hours away from welcoming their third child into the world.

“By the time you see this video, I will have given birth to my third child,” she excitedly revealed, displaying her baby bump.

Liz then shared that she is having a third daughter.

“I grew up with sisters — lots of sisters — and I know that it is such a wonderful gift for my girls ... to have sisters,” she beamed.

Her husband fully shares her excitement.

“My husband is such a wonderful girl dad. ... He teaches them how to garden, how to build fish tanks, how to wrestle, how to read, and he also always has time to play house with them because they’re little girls, and they’re obsessed with baby dolls. And he loves the cards they make him that are covered with pink heart stickers, and he loves to twirl them in their pretty dresses,” Liz gushed.

“Pray for us if you will as we begin life as a family of five.”

To her fans and followers, Liz promised that she has not left them high and dry for the next 12 weeks while she’s on maternity leave.

“I filmed stuff ahead of time for you ... and man, we have some good ones. I’ve actually been dying to tell you about some of them,” she laughed.

“The second thing is we are launching a clips channel ... I know a lot of you request not just the full-length episodes but the shorter videos, but we can’t do that on our regular channel without getting penalized in the algorithm,” she continued, noting that the new clips channel is already up and running and ready for subscribers.

While Liz steps away to bond with her newest daughter, her pre-filmed episodes and new clips channel will keep fans covered until she returns.

Here’s to Liz, her husband, and their three precious girls!

Shocking study: Marijuana use in men DOUBLES the risk of miscarriage



Marijuana has long been portrayed through film and television as a relatively harmless substance associated with relaxation, laughter, and the “munchies.”

But BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says the scientific evidence tells a much darker story, and Alex Berenson’s book “Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence” is what ultimately changed her mind.

“Alex Berenson changed my mind on marijuana almost single-handedly,” Wheeler says, before pointing to a study on the drug.

“A recent study shows that if a man uses marijuana, then — even once a week, if he smokes marijuana — then his wife is twice as likely to miscarry. So, even if the woman, the mother, never uses pot and the man smokes once a week, his wife is twice as likely to miscarry,” Wheeler says.


As devastating as that is, it’s not all marijuana is linked to. The drug is also known to cause psychosis, schizophrenia, and violence.

But most people have no idea.

“The reason that most people think of pot and they think chill and munchies is because of that propaganda that I mentioned that was paid for by this humongous marijuana lobby who obviously stood to profit enormous amounts of money if they were able to farm marijuana,” she explains.

“They first, you know, tried to normalize it by making it a medicinal thing, medical marijuana, and then once it was kind of normalized as medicinal, which obviously had a positive connotation in people’s minds, their goal was actually just recreational legalization,” she says.

And in Colorado, where marijuana was legalized recreationally, Wheeler explains that crimes, car crashes, and ER visits are up.

“I would argue that it’s a net negative to society. It’s certainly a net negative to this channel. It causes me to lose subscribers any time I mention this,” she adds.

And anecdotally, Berenson’s wife worked in medical care and would “come home and tell him about these psychotic patients that she had and how there was always a connection to marijuana.”

“He scoffed at her. He said that is ridiculous. Like, marijuana is not tied to psychosis. It’s not tied to mental health. It’s not tied to violence. It’s like, you just smoke it, and then you get hungry. And so he tried to prove her wrong,” Wheeler explains.

But when he started researching it, he was shocked by what he found.

“And when he started researching it, that’s when he began to put the book together because he found that the actual research contradicts the narratives that we’re all pretty familiar with around marijuana,” she says.

“What Berenson actually found in the scientific literature was that it does ... lead to psychosis and schizophrenia and ultimately violence, particularly violence committed by men against women,” she continues.

“I don’t think my position is extreme, that if it’s a dangerous drug that leads to these things, if it’s a net negative to society, then yes, we should ban it,” she adds.

‘One man’s mass is another man’s meh’: Steve Deace questions whether 1 million deportations is really enough



One of the biggest selling factors of President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was his promise to conduct mass deportations, sending millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration had imported back home.

According to recent figures provided by the administration, nearly 1 million people have been deported since January 2025.

BlazeTV host Steve Deace is pleased with this number.

“That’s excellent progress given where we were starting from and all the court challenges and everything else, right? Not to mention how squishy Republicans are,” he says.

However, many conservatives disagree.

“There are plenty of my friends and contacts who are like, ‘This dog ain’t going to hunt,’ ‘This ain’t going to cut it,’ and ‘Mass deportations is what we voted for, it’s what we expect, and these aren’t massive enough,’” he notes.

“One man’s mass is another man’s meh, right?” he quips.

Deace asks co-host Todd Erzen and producer Aaron McIntire to weigh in. “Which of these two camps in my friend group right now would you guys come down in?”

Erzen is less optimistic than Deace.

“I’m way more in ‘this dog ain’t gonna hunt’ ultimately,” he says, noting that he’s nonetheless “grateful for everything that’s being done.”

“Right now, Dearborn, Michigan, should be a ghost town. Pockets of Minneapolis, wherever all those Somalis live, ghost town. Take care of that. ... That should be a bat signal to everybody else: Here we come,” he adds.

Aaron, however, is more concerned with finding “the real story.”

“It’s really difficult, especially when we’ve had as many government shutdowns or partial shutdowns as we’ve had in the last 18 months ... to actually get a bead on what the real data is,” he says.

Regardless, no matter what the actual number is, he argues, deportations are “nowhere near the pace that [they need] to be.”

“So, what I hear you guys saying, therefore, is that in typical Republican fashion, what we are doing is stopping the left from doing any new bad things, but we’re not going back and really undoing the old system,” Deace summarizes.

“Trump will push and stretch that paradigm as much as any previous Republican of our lifetimes has or was probably willing to, right? But ... it still doesn’t inspire the level of paradigm shift that is really required here. Is that what I hear you saying?” he asks.

“Exactly,” Erzen says.

John Doyle unloads on Nolan’s 'Odyssey': ‘They turned ancient Greece into a rainbow nation’



There’s no doubt that Christopher Nolan’s "The Odyssey" took one of the foundational works of Western civilization and transformed it — but BlazeTV host John Doyle believes it was for the worse.

“Feeling very vindicated dude,” Doyle says, adding that he’s “never been a Chris Nolan fan.”

“Honestly, part of me almost wants to cope and say that Christopher Nolan is actually our guy. He’s going behind enemy lines. He’s a secret patriot. He’s actively trying to ruin any possibility of further adaptations with this kind of stuff,” he says.

But unfortunately, Doyle doesn’t think that’s possible, as it’s “one of the most in-your-face, on-the-nose subversions that has ever been made by Hollywood.”


The most obvious, Doyle says, is that they cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and Ellen Page, who now goes by “Elliot,” as a soldier.

“He made ancient Greece into this kind of rainbow nation,” he says, “where you’ve got white Greeks, black Greeks, Asian Greeks, you know, even Greeks on Homer-ian H-1B visas from the Greek city state of Kolkata looking you, the audience member, directly in the eye and saying we are Greeks from Ithaca, right?”

“It basically means nothing. It’s literally just driven by visual spectacle for third-world masses with practically every actual integral plot point being completely obliterated,” he continues.

“And in so far as there even is a message, they removed all male sexuality from it. They feminized it. Gave it a once over with therapy-speak SSRI nonsense. And yeah, they made it about overcoming trauma and about how war is freaking bad,” he adds.

Doyle calls it the “complete inversion” and “antithesis” to the original "Odyssey."

“It was supposed to be, you know, an epic poem meant to be spoken before a crowd using their imagination to paint the story for them, right? Paint the picture in their mind carried by the weight of the verses given and what it was imparted in meaning,” he explains.

“The adaptation, like modern garbage that tries to be carried entirely by the visual spectacle. It erases every thematic point in and every moral of the original. It just inserts the most boilerplate libtardism imaginable. War bad, therapy good, men bad, women good, ancient morality bad, progressivism good, freaking trauma,” he says, adding, “It's really, it’s not even worth the watch.”

Amy Coney Barrett traded Americans' trust for a bulletproof vest



Justice Amy Coney Barrett — who, in a slap in the face to American-born citizens, just ruled in favor of birthright citizenship — told the House Appropriations Committee that the mounting threats against her have taken a toll on her children.

"They have required my children to think about and see things that children should not have to see or think about," Barrett testified, sharing that her security detail gave her a bulletproof vest to wear.

When she brought it into her bedroom, her young son asked what it was.

However, BlazeTV host Steve Deace doesn’t have much sympathy for the Supreme Court justice.


Deace explains that he asked Grok how often Barrett has voted with the Democrat block of justices, to which the AI answered 50% to 75% of the time.

“So, my Grok account literally said to me, if, based on how you typically propose such questions, you need to consider that within that 75% she’s often voting on things that are obvious to the majority of the court, that are 7-2 decisions or greater,” he says.

“But, Grok said, if you’re factoring in the more contentious kinds of issues that, given what you typically ask me about, are really what you care about, it’s about 50-50,” he continues.

This means, Deace says, that “Amy Coney Barrett, on the most important things, is essentially a coin flip.”

“That’s essentially what she is on the most important things, the things that we think are fundamental, existential in determining what kind of people ought we to be and will ultimately become. She’s a flip of a coin,” he explains.

“What are you gaining by simping for this worldview about half of the time in your most important rulings? Whose favor are you incurring? What cocktail party are you now being invited to? What aura of respectability there in suburban D.C. are you now being granted?” he asks. “Because by your own admission, the answer is nothing.”

Deace corrects himself, noting that she didn’t actually receive nothing. She got a bulletproof vest.

“Forgive me. I don’t have much sympathy,” he says.
