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.”

Latest DISTURBING COVID vaccine data reveals just how much work RFK Jr. has to do



Recent reports from a team of immunologists at Yale University indicate that some COVID jab patients experienced “immune system exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production.”

What does that mean?

In the words of journalist Alex Berenson, who’s been reporting on these latest scientific findings, it means “bad news. Very bad.”

— (@)

Steve Deace dives into the latest findings.

According to the study, some patients who received the vaccine developed AIDS — acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

“The word 'acquired' there is key,” says Steve. “What the Yale study finds is that people who did not previously demonstrate these sorts of immune deficiencies began demonstrating them with prolonged exposure.”

Further, “they have no idea how long the spike protein stays in your system,” Steve explains, adding that the “experts” lied about this from the get-go when they told everyone “it stays in your arm.”

Back in 2021 when the mandates began, Steve warned his audience that taking the jab was Russian roulette. Four years later, the science agrees.

Actually, the science has agreed for the last several years, but instead of admitting that the vaccine had adverse side effects, some officials pitched “long COVID” — health problems that persist or develop after someone has COVID-19.

This Yale study, however, is “the first time that a high official study is attributing it uniquely now to the jab,” says Steve.

“RFK Jr. has got to take these shots off the market.”

“I don't know what all pomp and circumstance and I-dotting and T-crossing is required for such a thing to occur, but as soon as such a thing can occur, it needs to happen,” says Steve.

SCANDAL: ICE has a leak problem



On the latest “what happened while we were away” segment of the “Steve Deace Show,” producer Aaron McIntire revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been thwarted not once but three times when internal rats leaked raid information to the media, allowing violent illegal alien criminals to escape deportation.

“This weekend we saw at least the third leak to media foil a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation,” says McIntire.

Over the weekend, “the L.A. Times somehow got their hands on government documents spelling out ICE plans for a large raid in that city.”

A couple of weeks ago, it was raid plans for Chicago and Aurora, Colorado, that were leaked to national media.

Who are these malicious insiders working against the Trump administration?

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed the FBI for the leaks. Yesterday, she tweeted:

— (@)

Attorney General Pam Bondi, upon hearing about the leaks, expressed her commitment to accountability: “That jeopardizes the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement, and if you leaked it, we will find out who you are and we will come after you, and it's not going to stop our mission; it's not going to stop the president's mission to make America safe again,” she said.

Despite the leaks, ICE is still accomplishing a great deal, and the American people at large are celebrating the work the agency is doing.

According to a recent CBS poll, “Trump has positive approval amid 'energetic' opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised.”

So far, the “majority of Americans approve of his deportation plan,” says McIntire.

Trump’s mass deportations are an ‘equal and opposite reaction’ to Biden’s open borders



When the border under the Biden regime got so bad that it became a nonpartisan issue, Joe told the nation that his hands were tied. It was up to Congress to act.

Donald Trump has been in office less than two weeks and already via several executive orders aimed at reversing the border crisis, he’s proved that Biden’s open borders were a deliberate choice.

“Now that we're seeing the Trump administration move on immigration, you are seeing just how feckless and treacherous on purpose the Biden administration was,” says Steve Deace.

“It was clearly overtly the goal of the Biden administration to let [the border crisis] happen,” says co-host Todd Erzen. “Whatever you're seeing Tom Homan do, it's a fraction of the number that is required to actually take care of the problem.”

Steve crunched the numbers — if Biden let 20 million illegal immigrants into the country, “the Trump administration would have to arrest and deport 4,000 people a day just to get rid of the illegals that have come in the last four years.”

“That’s untenable,” he says.

“And Biden let it happen under his jurisdiction — willfully, knowingly put his executive stamp on it. This is going to be ugly to untangle legally,” adds Erzen.

Co-host and producer Aaron McIntire says that Trump’s mass deportation plan is a necessary response to the gross abuse of the 14th Amendment.

Using “Senate records,” the 14th Amendment “could have been adjudicated properly on multiple occasions,” but it wasn’t. “The best-case scenario — the best explanation — is that it was just political laziness, malfeasance, and cowardice that it hasn't been to this day, so what's it going to take then for this to actually be adjudicated properly? An equal and opposite reaction,” he says, referring to mass deportations.

“They may strike down Trump's executive order on the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship, but it is a long overdue ... and absolutely necessary argument to be injected into the discourse here,” McIntire argues.

While it may be “a long battle” to get the 14th Amendment properly adjudicated, which he says is “a sad commentary about the state of our judicial system,” he’s thankful the process is finally in motion.

“I’m glad we're starting to get there because where we were before was just complete chaos,” he sighs.

Steve points to the 1982 Plyler v. Doe Supreme Court case as the start of the conflation of the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship.

To hear his analysis on this case, watch the episode above.
