Stu Burguiere slams Minneapolis meltdown after ICE shooting: ‘What did you think would happen?’



The political fallout from a fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has quickly spiraled into open warfare between city leaders, state officials, and federal authorities — and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who most recently was seen butchering the Somalian language in support of those accused of fraud — had some choice words for ICE officers.

“I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite,” Frey said.

“We’ve dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis. Not only is this a concern that we’ve had internally; we’ve been talking about it. They are not here to cause safety in this city,” he continued.

“What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is bulls**t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,” he added.


“Kristi Noem heard Jacob Frey being a douche and decided to respond to him for whatever reason, even though he obviously didn’t deserve a response,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments.

“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Noem responded in a press conference. “It’s very clear that this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations. Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he’s been taught to do in that situation, and took actions to defend himself.”

However, Tim Walz disagreed, threatening to deploy the National Guard and firmly stating that "Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.”

“Your own party has been turning Minnesota into a nonstop heap of political debate and nonsense for years and years and years and years, going back to George Floyd. This is kind of what the state is now.”

Minneapolis is even closing its public schools for an entire week in the wake of the shooting.

“Look, nothing great here,” Stu says. “There’s no wonderful solution. There’s no wonderful outcome. We can’t be like, ‘Oh gosh, you know, everything was heroic and perfect.’ What we can say is something pretty obvious, like no one wants this to happen.”

“I’m really sad that a person died. I didn’t want her to die. I’m really sad about it. But one little piece of advice that you can take into your own personal lives as you go out into the world: Don’t drive your car at cops,” he continues.

“Like that’s the end of it, right? What would you think would happen to you if you went out to a parking lot as a police officer’s there, standing there, and you just drove your car at them? What the hell do you do think would happen? Every single person in the world, I think, would expect a police officer to fire on them,” he adds.

The fall of Tim Walz: The man that wasn’t ‘man enough’



As the journalist who exposed the rampant Somalian fraud in Minnesota, Nick Shirley, pointed out, he has “ended” Governor Tim Walz’s career after the governor announced he would not be seeking re-election following the media attention.

And BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere couldn’t be happier.

“I think it’s a really positive thing for the nation, for our world. He should go somewhere where we don’t have to see him anymore. Now, his family seems to love him, ... but the bottom line here is that he sucks, and I’m glad he’s out of my life,” Stu says, happily.

“Minnesota has to come first — always. Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids,” Walz wrote in a post on X, to which Stu interjects to laugh, “Especially if you need day care.”


“I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work,” Walz added.

And Stu is not surprised that the left’s attempt at pushing what they thought was a more masculine man on the American people failed.

“Someone pointed this out, and I think it’s a great observation, that Tim Walz is the idea that, like, a leftist DEI person would have of what a manly man from the Midwest was, right? Like this person that in their head they’re like, ‘Wow, that guy, he coaches football,’ right?” Stu comments.

Stu also points out that the Harris-Walz campaign also ran an ad that made this belief of theirs crystal clear.

The ad focused on the saying “man enough,” where a group of men talked about what made them “man enough” — like cooking their steak “rare” — before pivoting to what political beliefs they’re “man enough” to hold.

“Woman wants to be president? Well, I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement,” one man featured in the campaign ad said, adding, “because I’m man enough to support women.”

“If your vision of what men are is that ad, you think that’s going to work, well, yeah, you picked Tim Walz,” Stu laughs. “Unbelievable.”

Paris court convicts 10 citizens for ‘cyberbullying’ first lady Brigitte Macron over transgender claims



Yesterday, a Paris court convicted 10 citizens of “cyberbullying” French first lady Brigitte Macron over rumors regarding her gender.

After French President Emmanuel Macron’s election in 2017, rumors started swirling among fringe circles that his wife, Brigitte, was actually a biological male. But it wasn’t until 2021, right before Macron’s re-election, that it exploded on an international scale after Natacha Rey, an independent journalist, claimed she had copious evidence proving the first lady was a biological male secretly living as transgender.

Since its initial explosion in 2021, the rumor has only continued to gain massive traction internationally, fueling podcasts, docuseries, and social media content.

The Macrons have been quick to strike back. In July 2025, they filed a high-profile defamation lawsuit in the U.S. against conservative podcaster Candace Owens for her viral series “Becoming Brigitte,” which promoted the claim that Brigitte was born a male. The case is ongoing.

However, the Macrons’ lawsuit in France concluded yesterday with convictions and sentences for 10 defendants.

All 10 were accused of posting or reposting malicious, degrading comments online falsely claiming Brigitte Macron is transgender. While most defended their actions as satire or free speech, the court ruled they acted with intent to harm.

When BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere heard the story, his first reaction was that he’s glad he lives in America.

“At times, we get upset with America, OK? You know, lines are long. ... Maybe you get the wrong order. Maybe they don't put the extra cheese sauce at Taco Bell that you ordered. ... But we do have a First Amendment at least that would protect us against that sort of nonsense, where the first lady of a country can sue you because you called her names,” he laughs.

To hear more about the case, watch the video below.

5 sharp declines in American deaths the media doesn’t want you to see



The news never stops telling us everything is falling apart, but the latest data says the exact opposite — at least when it comes to preventable deaths.

On this episode of “Stu Does America,” Stu Burguiere dives into five sets of federal numbers that prove America is quietly winning on life-and-death issues.

1. The US mortality rate is the lowest it has been since 2020, with COVID no longer a leading cause

According to the CDC’s latest provisional data, the 2024 mortality rate “was 3.8% lower than in 2023 and was the lowest death rate since 2020.”

Further, for the first time since the virus’ emergence, COVID was not one of the top 10 leading causes of death.

“This is going to disappoint the Taylor Lorenzes of the world, who want to still wear masks outdoors right now, but COVID is pretty much off the map,” says Stu.

2. Deaths related to heart attacks have plummeted

Research conducted by Stanford Medicine and published in the Journal of the American Heart Association indicates that over the last five decades, there has been a substantial decline in deaths from heart attacks.

The study concluded that since 1970, age-adjusted heart attack deaths have decreased by nearly 90%, while deaths from heart disease are down roughly 66%.

Although chronic heart conditions have risen alongside obesity and diabetes, these drops still reflect major progress in preventing and treating sudden heart attacks.

“Deaths from other types of heart disease ... increased by 81% in the United States according to the study, so there are still issues, and that has a lot to do with us becoming fat fat fatties,” Stu jokes.

3. Drug overdose death have declined

A recent CDC report revealed that deaths from drug overdose have declined nearly 24% in the 12 months ending September 2024, compared to the previous year.

Stu displays the following chart to give a visual of this significant improvement in deaths from drug overdose, which skyrocketed during the 2020 COVID pandemic and remained high until last year.

“We're not back down quite to the pre-COVID levels, but we are approaching that, which is a real positive,” he says.

4. US mass killings are the lowest they’ve been since 2006

Based on the latest data from the Associated Press and USA Today Mass Killing Database, which tracks incidents in which four or more people are killed (excluding the perpetrator) within a 24-hour period, there have been just 17 mass killings in the U.S. this year — the lowest annual total since the database began in 2006.

While one mass killing is too many, the dip indicates that we are thankfully beginning to return from “big COVID/Biden-era peaks,” says Stu.

“We’re going in the right direction.”

5. Teen suicide is declining

Recent federal data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the CDC reveals a decline in teen suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health — an annual federal survey of over 70,000 people ages 12 and older that tracks mental health, substance use, and related trends — shows positive shifts among adolescents (ages 12-17) between 2021 and 2024, following pandemic-era spikes.

Serious suicidal thoughts in adolescents fell from 13% in 2021 to 10% by 2024. Further, suicide attempts in this age group dropped from 3.6% to 2.7%.

“Obviously, all way, way too high, but a good decrease,” says Stu.

All in all, Stu is encouraged by these statistics.

“This is really, really good news. … It is important to every once in a while note the fact that not everything sucks,” he says.

DEI isn’t dead — and a ‘lost generation’ is still paying the price



While some conservatives believe we’ve won the battle against DEI, BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere thinks that couldn’t be further from the truth. And a new piece in Compact by Jacob Savage called “The Lost Generation” only echoes Burguiere’s sentiment — revealing that what has been done in the name of diversity has stolen livelihoods and ruined professional lives.

“In 2011, the year I moved to Los Angeles, white men were 48% of lower-level TV writers; by 2024, they accounted for just 11.9%. The Atlantic’s editorial staff went from 53% male and 89% white in 2013 to 36% male and 66% white in 2024,” Savage writes.

“White men fell from 39% of tenure-track positions in the humanities at Harvard in 2014 to 18% in 2023. In retrospect, 2014 was the hinge, the year DEI became institutionalized across American life,” he continues.


“I had not really ever honestly thought about it this way, is why it’s such an interesting piece,” Burguiere comments.

“As the Trump administration takes a chainsaw to the diversity, equity, and inclusion apparatus, there’s a tendency to portray DEI as a series of well-meaning but ineffectual HR modules. ... This may be how Boomer and Gen X white men experienced DEI. But for white male Millennials, DEI wasn’t a gentle rebalancing — it was a profound shift in how power and prestige were distributed,” Savage writes.

“This isn’t a story about all white men. It’s a story about white male Millennials in professional America, about those who stayed, and who (mostly) stayed quiet. The same identity, a decade apart, meant entirely different professional fates,” he continues.

“If you were 40 in 2014 — born in 1974, beginning your career in the late '90s — you were already established. If you were 30 in 2014, you hit the wall. Because the mandates to diversify didn’t fall on older white men, who in many cases still wield enormous power: They landed on us,” he adds.

When institutions who heralded diversity lost a person of color, they would only fill that position with another person of color — white men or women need not apply.

“That’s just racism,” Burguiere comments. “OK? If you’re taking someone who is one race and replacing them with a person of the same race, you are making a decision based on skin color, that’s racism. That’s what that is.”

After George Floyd’s death in 2020, several news outlets promised to make a massive change to the color of their workforce, with NPR declaring that “diversity was nothing less than its ‘North Star.’”

“Shouldn’t the truth be your North Star if you’re a journalistic organization?” Burguiere asks. “If you’re NPR and your taxpayers are paying for your entire organization or at least a giant chunk of it, maybe your North Star should be America, right?”

‘Trantifa’ NYE terrorist bomb plot foiled; leftist media brands it non-violent



Members of what’s been dubbed a “trantifa” group called Turtle Island Liberation Front have been arrested for allegedly plotting a horrific New Year’s Eve terror attack in the Los Angeles area.

“After an intense investigation, the Department of Justice, working with our FBI, prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California (Orange County and Los Angeles),” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a post on X.

“The Turtle Island Liberation Front — a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group — was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning New Year’s Eve. The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles,” she reported.


The Turtle Island Liberation Front allegedly calls for decolonization, tribal sovereignty, and “the working class to rise up and fight back against capitalism.”

“Now, just in case you were wondering what that term meant, it’s the term that lifted billions of people out of extreme poverty over the past couple of decades. So, why wouldn’t we want to bomb people to stop it?” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere jokes on “Stu Does America.”

Found among the possessions of those allegedly plotting the attacks were “free Palestine” flyers.

“What a surprise,” Burguiere jokes again. “This is stunning. ‘Free Palestine’ flyers at the campsite where the suspects were working with the bomb-making materials. And, of course, they found a bunch of this stuff.”

In a photo taken as evidence and shared by the U.S. Justice Department, handwritten signs read, “Death to America,” “Long live Turtle Island,” and “Death to ICE.”

Despite this very clear message of “death,” the mainstream media is claiming that these terrorists did not want anyone to be hurt.

“It’s important to note ... that in this complaint, nowhere do they allege that any of these individuals wanted anybody to be harmed as a result of these pipe bombs specifically,” a host of the “Start Here” podcast on ABC News said cheerfully.

The hosts went on to point out that Turtle Island’s plan was to have follow-up attacks after the bombings, which “included plans to target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs.”

“Strikes me that if someone’s plan was to target ICE agents,” Burguiere comments, “perhaps that means they did want to hurt people.”

Left's praise of Australian gun laws age poorly after tragic massacre



Over the weekend, an armed father and son duo are accused of carrying out a devastating Hanukkah massacre motivated by Islamic State ideology on Bondi Beach in Australia.

For the most part, Americans have had a united response, as even the New York Times published an opinion piece titled “Bondi Beach Is What ‘Globalize the Intifada’ Looks Like” — though the response from their usual readership was not ideal.

“Only the @nytimes would print a headline this twisted. Bondi Beach has nothing to do with the Palestinian struggle, and to say it does is journalistic malpractice,” Linda Mamoun wrote in a post on X.

“Well, first of all, it’s an opinion piece,” Burguiere comments. “But secondly, in addition to that little minor fact, would be that it has everything to do with it. The Palestinian struggle around the world is associated very closely with the movement of globalizing the intifada, which means removing Jews and killing Jews all over the place. That’s what it means,” he explains.


Others, of course, are looking at the attack as an opening for them to discuss gun control — but there are no longer any guns to control in Australia.

In a clip of Hillary Clinton from 2015, she praises Australia’s move to ban automatic weapons.

“The Australian government, as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of automatic weapons, offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns. And then they basically clamped down, going forward, in terms of having, you know, more of a background-check approach, more of a permitting approach,” Clinton explained.

“That’s not what that was,” Burguiere interjects, before letting Clinton finish.

“But they believed, and I think the evidence supports them, that by offering to buy back those guns, they were able to, you know, curtail the supply and to set a different standard for gun purchases in the future. I don’t know enough details to how we would do it or how it would work, but certainly the Australian example is worth looking at,” she added.

“She has no idea what she’s talking about,” Burguiere comments.

Obama has echoed Clinton’s sentiment, saying in a 2023 interview on CBS News that Australia had “one mass shooting 50 years ago and they said, ‘Nope, we’re not doing that anymore.’”

“That is normally how you would expect a society to respond,” he added.

“No, it isn’t,” Burguiere comments. “Are you even hearing yourself? First of all, it wasn’t 50 years ago, it was 30 years ago. But beyond that, are you even listening to the words coming out of your mouth? You think the big demonstration of how we should affect legally our entire country, how we should go and do these things is to say, ‘Well, one thing happened, therefore, we should pass massive legislation.’”

“It’s like making major life decisions about your marriage when you have a fight and you’re hammered afterward. It’s not a good idea,” he adds.

Time names ‘Architects of AI’ as person of the year — and it sounds like a dystopian horror film



Time magazine named its 2025 “person of the year” — but it wasn’t just one person.

Instead, the magazine celebrated the “Architects of AI” as its person of the year. This includes tech leaders like Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, Lisa Su, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Fei-Fei Li.

“This is one of those things that I think they try to be different to get people interested in it. And I’m not all that interested in the Time person of the year or anything really that Time does these days. But I will say, this one’s been interesting to watch through the prediction market lens because, you know, the favorite going into this announcement was AI,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.”

However, while “interesting,” the claims the Time article made were more than a little dystopian in nature.


“The drumbeat of warning that advanced AI could kill us all has mostly quieted; the ‘doomers’ have been marginalized, now used by AI’s ruling class as a punch line. ... But the risk-averse are no longer in the driver’s seat,” the article reads.

“Thanks to [Nvidia CEO Jensen] Huang, [SoftBank’s Masayoshi] Son, [Sam] Altman, and other AI titans, humanity is now flying down the highway, all gas no brakes, toward a highly automated and highly uncertain future,” it adds.

“That sounds like a bad idea to me,” Stu comments. “Especially after living through the cellphone all gas, no brakes approach. We’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s just do it.’ 13 hours a day? How much time do you need to spend staring at your phone? That shouldn’t affect humanity in any way.”

The article goes on: “For decades, humankind steeled itself for the rise of thinking machines. As we marveled at their ability to beat chess champions and predict protein structures, we also recoiled from their inherent uncanniness, not to mention the threats to our sense of humanity.”

“Leaders striving to develop the technology, including Sam Altman and Elon Musk, warned that the pursuit of its powers could create unforeseen catastrophe. This year, the debate about how to wield AI responsibly gave way to a sprint to deploy it as fast as possible,” it continues.

“Isn’t that, like, the intro to every tech horror film ever made?” Stu asks. “That is like, ‘Hey, you know, we decided not to think about what would happen. I’m just going to go for it.’ It’s like we’re in Jurassic Park.”

The New York Times’ ‘trillionaire’ lie: The left is now outraged over pure fiction



The left is yet again up in arms about a non-issue, this time regarding the amount of trillionaires in America. Because what they don’t appear to know is that there are no trillionaires in America.

“We did it. They’ve been eradicated. There are no American trillionaires. We did it everybody. Yay. I guess that's a goal we all have now. In case you didn’t know,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.” “A lot of people on the left apparently don’t.”

And sadly, the New York Times has landed on the list of those who don’t know this, as a recent article is titled, “Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package, Creating Split Screen on Wealth in America.”

“Again, no it doesn’t,” Burguiere comments.


“At Tesla, based in the Austin, Texas, area, shareholders have largely bought into a winner-takes-all version of capitalism, agreeing by a wide margin to give Mr. Musk shares worth almost a trillion dollars if the company under his management achieves ambitious financial and operational goals over the next decade,” the article reads.

“Now, the terms I would like you to look at in that particular quote are ‘shareholders.’ So, the people whose money is going to be paid to Elon Musk have bought in. So, why would they buy into a winner-takes-all philosophy of capitalism? Because that would bankrupt them, right?” Burguiere asks.

“Elon wins, they get nothing, right? Let’s think about it a little bit. Could it possibly be that they actually win too? Could it possibly be that they think that if Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire, they’re doing pretty darn well for themselves as well? Could it possibly be that the New York freaking Times, located in the financial capital of the world, have no idea what they’re talking about?” he continues.

“And you might say, ‘Well, yeah, that is what it means, Stu.’ No, it doesn’t. It means they’re lying. They know exactly what’s going on here. They know why they’re framing it this way. And they’re doing it completely intentionally,” he adds.

The article goes on to discuss mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s New York victory as a “reminder of the frustrations many Americans have with an economic system that has left them struggling to afford basics like food, housing, and child care.”

“I assure you, Elon Musk having a trillion dollars, which I will note he does not have, but if he did have it, that money would not have anything to do with someone in New York feeding themselves. It’s literally got nothing to do with them starving on the streets,” Burguiere says.

“It’s got nothing to do with Elon Musk. He’s not doing this to people,” he adds.

VIRAL VIDEO: Cinnabon worker yells racist slurs at customers, and the internet crowns her a hero



A video has gone mega-viral after a Wisconsin Cinnabon worker, Crystal Wilsey, was recorded shouting racist slurs, including the N-word, at a Somalian husband and wife.

The video showed Wilsey cursing at the customers, at one point even saying, “I am racist and I’ll say it to the whole entire world. Don’t be disrespectful.” However, in an unedited version of the video, the husband can first be heard asking Wilsey if "sexualizing your body makes you a better person."

When Wilsey asks if she is being recorded, the wife responds, "I'm going to record you, yes."

There are then cuts in the video, before it escalates to the woman calling the couple the N-word. While many viewers were angry that she used the slur, the response online has been divided.

But BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere knows where he stands.

“Not the best moment anyone’s ever had in a Cinnabon,” Burguiere tells CBN’s Dan Andros on “Stu Does America.”


Despite the Somalian couple being accused of starting the altercation, Burguiere believes there's "never an excuse to lose control of yourself."

"What I’m kind of interested in here, more than anything else, is the reaction of some online who are basically saying it’s wrong that she was fired from this job, which obviously she was immediately,” he says.

“It’s ‘wrong’ because that’s basically cancel culture in action. Is this cancel culture, Dan?” he asks.

“There’s cancel culture and then there’s play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And what happened here is the latter. Like, let’s just think about your job here. You are making delicious cinnamon rolls that smell yummy … and it’s like, this is your job,” Andros says.

“Your job is to give someone a little taste of Cinnabon happiness. You know, cinnamon roll goodness and deliciousness and with a smile on your face. … Isn’t it that the customer’s always right? They might be jerks, they might be saying rude things, they might be in a hurry, they might complain,” he continues.

“Just smile. You’re getting paid,” he adds.

However, not everyone feels the same way as Burguiere and Andros, as Crystal has raised over $100,000 on GiveSendGo after her firing.

“She’s a representative of a company, in the same way that if I went into, you know, a Sbarro, and they were like, ‘By the way, can’t stand those Jews,’ I would say that person should lose their job,” Burguiere explains.

“Not because I love cancel culture,” he continues, adding, “because they’re representing your business."

"They have an absolute right to fire you,” Andros chimes in.
