Superman surprises at the White House: Steve Deace’s epic chat with Dean Cain



Earlier this week, Steve Deace was in Washington, D.C., at the White House to commemorate President Trump’s first 100 days in office. During his visit, he interviewed a number of key insiders, including Ronald Vitiello, Customs and Border Protection senior adviser; Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency; and Kaelan Dorr, White House deputy communications director.

However, there was another interview he did that wasn’t in the books.

“When you're having lunch in the White House mess hall, you never know who you're going to run into,” says Steve.

Like Superman, for example.

“Being the Superman slappy that I am, I had to carve out time for Dean Cain,” says Steve.

“Why are you here — other than, you know, the future of the country is at stake?” he asked candidly.

Cain explained that he was in D.C. for a film he’s working on called “End the Wait,” which raises awareness about the need for kidney donors.

“We want to partner somehow with the government to say, ‘You can save thousands upon thousands of lives,'" he told Steve.

On the subject of films, Steve then brought up the latest movie he saw, “The Accountant 2,” starring Ben Affleck.

“Here's the plot of the movie: They are cracking a human trafficking ring of a network of drug runners and corporations who claim they really care about illegal aliens but are really just using them for human traffickers and to smuggle drugs into the country,” he explained. “At the end of it, I looked at my wife, and I said, ‘That is not a script that would have been filmed 10 years ago.’"

“There has been some major vibe shift here. Do you sense it as well?” he asked.

“Oh, tremendously!” was Cain’s answer.

“Gavin O'Connor, who directed that, is a friend of mine, a great director, and he's got a good edge to him. It feels like a real truth that's going on. Yeah, the vibes shift is clear,” he added.

He went on to list several of the factors playing into the cultural shift, including “Elon purchasing X and reviving free speech," the exposing of “the prior administration and things they were doing,” and real talk with “podcasters like Joe Rogan.”

“People are waking up,” Cain continued. “They don't control the media anymore, so the real messages are getting out.”

Steve Deace in the White House: Unpacking Trump’s first 100 days with key insiders



As part of President Trump's first 100 days commemoration, Steve Deace, Todd Erzen, and Aaron McIntire — hosts of the “Steve Deace Show” — had the immense privilege of visiting the White House.

“The Trump administration came out like a force of nature from day one — basically launched an all-out amphibious land, sea, air assault against the spirit of the age on every issue conceivable,” says Steve, standing in front of the White House.

One issue the administration began tackling just moments after President Trump was sworn into office is immigration. To get more information on the state of the border and what's next in the fight to restore the nation's sovereignty, Steve interviewed Customs and Border Protection Senior Adviser Ronald Vitiello.

Steve’s most pressing question was, “Where’s Congress?” While the Trump administration has made excellent moves to secure the border, if codification doesn’t happen, the next Democrat president could usher in another era of open border policies and undo all the work Trump has accomplished.

Vitiello shared Steve’s frustration at Congress’ slow pace in codifying border security measures and contrasted it with the rapid executive actions taken by President Trump. He argued that not only does Congress need to fill resource gaps in the budget, which is based on Biden's framework, so that they can continue to support Trump’s border priorities, but it also needs to reinforce executive orders, such as ending catch-and-release and limiting district judges’ rulings, to ensure these policies endure beyond the current administration.

Despite delays, he’s hopeful codification is on the horizon.

Another burning question Steve had was, “What’s the endgame?”

Vitiello explained that the overarching goal for the border issue is to maintain and enhance current physical border security and interior immigration enforcement, scaling up efforts with more resources and policies for greater impact. He emphasized sustaining measures like the border wall, which is durable and resists policy reversals by future administrations.”

If the Trump administration can accomplish this, and he’s confident it will, it will be “a win for not just this presidency but for the American people for generations,” he said.

In Steve’s next interview, he met with Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to find out how President Trump is working to make homes affordable again.

“The housing market has taken a major tumble between COVID and the last four years, so how do we rebound that given it's one of the key sectors of our economy?” Steve asked.

“There's probably only one person and that's President Trump who could fix this problem,” said Pulte, noting that what Trump is doing with inflation is “nothing short of miraculous.”

However, as chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Pulte knows he has his work cut out for him, as historically, the companies have been rife with corruption.

“We're turning [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] around, Steve. ... Basically nobody was working for the most part in these offices. We ordered people back to work,” he said, adding that the agencies are now being “run like businesses” and are utilizing the Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste and abuse.

“The unnecessary redundant bureaucracy is going away, and we're also focused on mortgage fraud — getting rid of fraud in the system,” said Pulte. “We're tightening the whole ship and making sure that we don't ever have a 2008 again.”

Pulte has already signed “over 50 orders” that impact federal housing in Trump’s first 100 days and expects the next 100 days will see the elimination of even more corrupt bureaucracy.

In Steve’s final interview, he met with White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr to discuss the multifaceted, flood-the-zone strategy of the communications team and what they’re working on next.

“What you're doing right now and you being here has been really important to us because we've opened up the door to all sorts of alternative media outlets that maybe don't have a day-to-day touch point with the White House,” Dorr told Steve. “For far too long, the American people had to come begging and pleading for scraps of information about what was going on.”

He emphasized the importance of alternative media outlets, like Blaze Media, given mainstream outlets come to press meetings with an agenda and a strong bias, preventing citizens from getting the straight facts.

“We're trying to restore that customer service ethos to everything that we do,” said Dorr.

“What’s the biggest difference here on day 100 compared to day one when you guys came in?” Steve asked.

“The gloves are completely and totally off,” said Dorr. “The social media content we put out — it's a little spicy in all the right ways.”

And it’s paying off.

“On YouTube and some of these other platforms, we've already in 100 days 4-Xed our audiences from the Biden administration,” said Dorr. “We’re going to continue to play offense on everything across the board.”

Vaccine mandates ‘unlawful’: Pete Hegseth rights Joe Biden’s wrongs



Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has taken it upon himself to right the wrongs of the Biden administration, which unlawfully kicked service members out of the military after they refused to shoot themselves up with the COVID jab.

“We all know that the previous administration issued unlawful orders on mandatory vaccines, on an experimental vaccine — COVID-19. You know it. We know it. We’re doing everything we can, as quickly as we can, to reinstate those who were affected by that policy,” Hegseth said in a statement.

“It hasn’t been perfect, and we know that. We’re having an ongoing conversation with you to get it right, working with the White House as well. We want anyone impacted by that vaccine mandate back into the military. People of conscience, warriors of conscience — back in our formations,” he continued.


Hegseth then announced that he signed a memorandum that directs the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness to “provide additional guidance to the boards that are reviewing these cases concerning the review of requests from service members and former service members adversely impacted by COVID-19 vaccine mandate.”

“The guidance also will facilitate the removal of adverse actions on service members solely for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, including discharge upgrades and less than fully honorable discharges for individuals separated for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine,” Hegseth explained.

Steve Deace of the “Steve Deace Show” is thrilled that Hegseth is declaring the mandate unlawful and getting those brave enough to refuse it back into the military.

“I want to say thank you to Pete Hegseth, man,” Deace says. “The key phrase for people, that you need to understand why it’s key, that Pete Hegseth said, ‘This was an unlawful order.’”

“Him saying that, and saying it on the record,” he continues, “that is essentially the secretary of defense saying, ‘I am tired of working through bureaucratic channels, and I’ve got too much to handle,' because what these bureaucrats do is take every one of these 8,000 service members and little by little try to bog them down and prove that the devil is in the details.”

“This is him testifying as a witness in any form of a proceeding, or in any filing, in court on behalf of those 8,000-plus military members. That’s why that is so key and vital,” he adds.

Demonic influence or political folly? Democrats war for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return



Let’s review everything we know thus far about the Democrats’ new pet, Kilmar Abrego Garcia:

  • He entered this country illegally in 2011.
  • In 2019, ICE detained him based on suspected MS-13 gang affiliations.
  • In 2021, his wife filed a temporary domestic violence protective order against him after he gave her a black eye in a dispute.
  • During a traffic stop in 2022, he was suspected of human smuggling.
  • Ample photo and video evidence shows him proudly displaying symbols affiliated with MS-13.
  • El Salvador’s own president, Nayib Bukele, called Garcia a terrorist and said he would not release him in El Salvador.

And yet – Democrats across the country are fighting tooth and nail for Garcia’s return to the U.S. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen (D) even traveled to El Salvador earlier this week on the taxpayer’s dime to speak with Garcia, whom he calls his “constituent.”

Steve Deace, who’s “never seen anything like this in [his] career,” says that at its roots, this war for Garcia’s return is not political; it’s spiritual.

Democrats are once again proving that the American people are at the bottom of their priority list. Not only is their fight to prevent the deportations of illegal immigrants ensuring violent crime, drug peddling, and human trafficking will continue to afflict the American people, but it’s also bucking the will of Americans.

Steve points to a recent CNN polling analysis that found that an increasing number of American citizens support mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

“Four separate polls found deportation support ranging from 55% from the New York Times poll to 64% in a Marquette poll,” says a recent Blaze News article.

“There's not any doubt where the American people are at on this,” says Steve, and yet the Democrat Party is essentially “[running] head first and naked and without a weapon into that tailwind.”

To champion and fight for the return of an illegal immigrant gang member when the majority of the country wants mass deportations of illegal immigrants goes against human nature, says Steve.

“No one does that naturally,” he explains. “Maybe one or two people are this dumb, but collectively, an entire political party is not.”

“What they're doing doesn't benefit them on any level at all; it just simply doesn't, and there's only one reason human beings don't act in self-interest, good or bad,” says Steve.

That reason is “supernatural forces.”

“Human beings will not act out of self-interest at this extent minus supernatural forces. You won't be a lonely nun in Calcutta minus the Holy Spirit, and you won't take on ... without any cover whatsoever all this level of darkness without demonic influence and oppression.”

“You are literally watching Romans 1 play out here,” he says.

Beyond politics: NEW survey shows SICKENING trend growing among leftists



The nationwide attack on Tesla has reached a fever pitch. From car bombings to doxxing Tesla owners, the radical leftist stand against Elon Musk is dangerous and getting more so by the day.

A new report from Network Contagion Research Institute, however, is perhaps more indicative of the left’s vitriol for Musk than any singular incident of domestic terrorism against Tesla.

Steve Deace, BlazeTV host of the “Steve Deace Show,” reviews the results of the following poll question: Is murdering Elon Musk and President Trump justified?

The number of left-leaning people who answered yes is grotesque.

Forty-eight percent of people who self-identified as left of center voted yes in varying degrees ranging from somewhat to completely justified for the murder of Elon Musk, while 55% voted yes for President Trump.

Steve is hardly shocked. The left has become the party of violence.

To further illustrate this point, he speaks with Iowa state Representative and Moms for Liberty activist Samantha Fett (R), who is a Christian, about her experience being harassed and threatened by radical leftists.

Fett tells Steve that protesters are “hunting [her] down at [her] church,” displaying signs that read “send her out so we can have our way with her” — a direct reference to Genesis 19, when the men of Sodom demanded Lot overturn the visiting angels so that they could have sex with them.

When Iowa's gender identity bill that sought to remove gender identity protections from the state's civil rights code was being debated, Fett, who played a significant role in the bill’s advancement, had to be accompanied by special security. She was even offered a “soft armor vest to wear” after numerous threats on her life were made.

It’s a “spiritual battle on display,” she says.

Steve argues that so many people don’t understand “how depraved what we're up against really is,” but things like these survey results and Fett’s experiences should be a rallying cry for Christians.

“The level of seething that Samantha has faced is demonstrative of the fact and confirms: This is not about a political ideology; this is a spiritual war,” he says. “Mere political policy differences don’t engender that level of hostility.”

War on masculinity: Why ‘Adolescence’ contradicts its own message



Netflix’s new show “Adolescence” tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who murders one of his female classmates after being radicalized online by the likes of Andrew Tate — a man whose influence had an episode of the mini-series devoted to it.

“The best thing you can say about this is that it is addressing a legitimate concern that you and I frankly have about who is discipling this generation of young men,” Steve Deace of the “Steve Deace Show” comments.

“The best thing you can say is it has stumbled upon a legitimate concern our worldview has, but it lacks the worldview to adequately address it, and so therefore is entangled in its own idolatries that contradict its own message,” he continues.


The first glaring point Deace makes is that the show is “based on a story that undermines the premise of the entire show.”

The show is in part based on the real and recent story of a black teenager in Britain named Hassan who brutally murders a girl for no reason. However, the series blames white men, masculinity, and right-wing influencers for the violence instead of what clearly is a deeper problem.

“This reinforces our lament about how the church has largely left young men behind in the last generation,” Deace says, “They’re not getting the proper discipleship at home.”

And in order to get the proper discipleship, they need proper parenting.

“This is why we need good dads to help us exercise and navigate this tension, and this is why dads need to be connected to their heavenly father who experiences the exact same tension with them, right out of the womb,” Deace says. “Look at this beautiful creation of mine, I’ve counted all the hairs on his head, and yet, in the not too distant future, he’s going to look at me and say, ‘I think I could be like God, I’ll call my own shots, make my own decisions.’”

“We used to societally understand these things. These things used to get preached and taught from our pulpits by men worthy of such teachings and preachings,” he continues.

“If we don’t tackle these dilemmas amongst ourselves within a biblical worldview, the culture will do it for us.”

JUDICIAL TYRANNY: Trump should NOT wait for Johnson to act



Out-of-control judges are posing a threat to Trump’s presidency, and while Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) claimed the House has the authority to keep them in line, Steve Deace of the “Steve Deace Show” believes that trusting him to fix it would be a mistake.

“Mike Johnson up there talking about ‘desperate times call for desperate measures,’ like Stephen A. Smith claiming he was going to punch LeBron James yesterday. Good Lord,” Deace says.

“We have one hero here, and it’s the president of the United States,” Deace continues. “Not just to save his presidency, but our country.”


However, it’s not just the president who needs to take action, but the American people.

“The president’s power, and therefore authority, to uphold immigration law doesn’t come from courts. It comes from the people,” he continues, noting that our power begins with the language we use.

"We have to stop using this language. We should never refer to trans men or trans women, ever. No such thing. We have to stop assenting to their verbiage,” he explains.

“We’re not going to beat them at their own game. We have to play our game,” he continues. “So what should Trump do?”

“Exactly what he is doing,” he says, answering himself. “Don’t hold a press conference, don’t issue an emancipation proclamation to say, ‘Hey, I’m coming out against Dred Scott.’ Don’t do any of that. No 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. post on Truth Social.”

“Let them sit down there and pontificate, hold court, let them sit there with a circular self-pleasuring squad all day long, kvetching, lamenting,” Deace continues. “Just keep doing what the people gave you the power to do, and then ultimately they get to exercise the choice.”

SHOWDOWN: Why the Trump administration must SMACK the courts



The Trump administration appears to be gearing up for a showdown with the federal court system after yet another judge has thrown her hat in the ring to oppose changes long-awaited by the American people.

“We had a rainbow jihad judge appointed by Barack Obama think that she has the power to determine who can and cannot serve in the armed forces,” Steve Deace of the “Steve Deace Show” comments, noting that of all the federal court injunctions that have been issued so far in the 21st century, “about 70% of them have been issued by 92% Democrat-appointed justices and specifically against President Trump.”

“That is a judicial coup,” he continues. “On the right, we have had one major victory ever, in modern times, against judicial tyranny. And it happened right here in the state of Iowa.”


“What we saw in Iowa is a court thought that it had the power to be its own unelected perpetual constitutional convention, like frankly we have allowed the courts to be for decades. But here’s the thing: We’re kind of in an era right now where we’re kind of waking up to the fact we’ve allowed too much madness to go on, and so now is the time to do something about it,” he adds.

Deace doesn’t believe this is a question of authority rather than legal theory.

“Who’s really in charge of the United States of America? And it’s not even which branch vis-à-vis the other. It’s really whether we the people are. Do we exist for the government, do we exist for the system, or does the government and the system exist for us?” Deace asks.

“That’s really the heart of the argument,” he continues. “We fought a revolutionary war over a lack of agency and representation, as Englishmen were now essentially evicted from their own citizenship. And you’re claiming that the system they set up after the fact was with the intent of just replacing it with the exact same thing?”

“And so your argument,” he adds, “the heart of your argument, is that they did all of that, they pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors just to then reinstall the exact same system, just with an American accent?”

Netflix proves men will either submit to God — or their would-be wives



Across the globe, young men and women are becoming increasingly divergent in their political views — with young women drastically identifying as more liberal and young men identifying as more conservative.

This was perfectly illustrated in Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” finale, where two young couples were torn apart at the altar by their ideological differences.

“I love you so much, but I’ve always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today I can’t,” cast member Sara Carton told fiance Ben Mezzenga in front of their friends and family at their wedding.


Carton claimed that the pair's differing views on religion, LGBTQ issues, Black Lives Matter, and the vaccine are what led her to make her decision.

“The woman in that Netflix video did that man a life favor. He should be very thankful that she did that. The problem is that he didn’t do it first. He should have recognized right away,” Steve Deace of “The Steve Deace Show” explains.

“You can see it in that clip, right there, he’s completely mesmerized by attraction and everything else. He hasn’t vetted her at all. She vetted him,” Deace continues. “Feminine beauty is undefeated, and without the Holy Spirit, you’re going to end up with gobsmack like that dude was.”

This is why young men have to fulfill their calling to be leaders.

“Someone has to lead. The creation runs on headship. Someone has to lead. Someone has to. So you’re either leading her or she’s leading you. The idea that this is co-habitual ain’t true, and it never will be. I can promise you that,” Deace says.

“Do you know why you were made, men? Do you know whom you ultimately belong to and will be held accountable to? Do you know the answer to that? Because the kind of woman you want to marry — she wants a man who can answer those questions,” he continues.

“So I promise, you’ll end up heartbroken, embarrassed, and gobsmacked as that guy on Netflix if you don’t have the right worldview,” he adds.

Does Trump have the political capital to tell SCOTUS no on USAID ruling?



On Wednesday, March 5, SCOTUS in a 5-4 vote ruled to reject the Trump administration's request to block a lower court order requiring nearly $2 billion in USAID funds to be unfrozen. Conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Democrat wing of the Supreme Court, tipping the scale against President Trump.

Steve Deace wasn’t surprised by Barrett’s vote.

“She's been a colossal disappointment from her very first year on the Supreme Court when she voted almost 70% of the time with the left-wing side of the court,” he says.

However, it was Justice John Roberts who angered him the most.

“John Roberts just spanked a lower court last week ... for thinking it had the jurisdiction to do something it doesn't have the jurisdiction to do,” Deace says. “He wrote a scathing rebuke of this. ... How in the Sam Hill does John Roberts issue that opinion last week and then side with this one?”

Regardless of how disappointing the SCOTUS ruling was, Deace always knew that the MAGA agenda could only enjoy smooth sailing for so long.

At the beginning of Trump’s term, he predicted that we would “eventually get to a point, March or April, where the president has kind of exhausted how many shots at the Death Star he can take.”

This ruling indicates that that has happened.

“It's ship-to-ship combat now. We're kind of getting into that stage of this fight now, and the empire is going to strike back,” he says.

Deace thinks that President Trump has the political capital to win this fight.

Lower court judges, like U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who issued the original order demanding USAID funds be unfrozen, were “taught day one of law school that a court determines its own jurisdiction,” says Deace. “There's no jurisdiction here — none.”

If we continue “letting a bunch of unelected people claim power and jurisdiction they don't have,” the MAGA mandate will continue to be stifled.

“Now it’s time to DOGE the courts,” he says. “This is the time to say, ‘Stick it where the sun don't shine, we're not doing it,’ and teach civics to the American people like you're teaching budget to them right now through DOGE.”
