Lefties brazenly celebrate the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO — 'CEO DOWN!'



On Tuesday, December 4, at about 6:45 a.m., UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside the Hilton Midtown hotel in New York City in what authorities assume is a targeted attack. According to reports and video footage, the gunman was “lying in wait” for Thompson.

Currently, the assailant — described as a 6’1” skinny man wearing a mask and dark clothing and carrying a gray backpack — remains at large.

While many are speculating he could be a professional hitman, Stu Burguiere doesn’t think so.

Not only did he “take [his] mask off in front of cameras,” but he also “touched things inside a Starbucks,” that might allow authorities to pinpoint his DNA.

The suspect also seemed to leave a kind of calling card. On the bullet casings were inscribed the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose,” which apparently have a connection to the insurance industry. Perhaps he was an angry patron who was denied coverage and took it out on the CEO.

And yet others argue that Thompson was hired, as he was “facing a DOJ probe for insider trading.”

Regardless of the shooter’s motive and whether or not he was hired, one thing is crystal clear to Stu: The murder of Brian Thompson, guilty of insider trading or not, is an atrocious act.

However, certain people — including ex-Washington Post, far-left journalist Taylor Lorenz — are brazenly celebrating Thompson’s assassination.

Lorenz, who is one of the many lefties who parted ways with Musk’s X when there wasn’t enough censorship, took to the platform’s pathetic competitor, Bluesky, and posted the following “skeets,” which she has continued to defend in the wake of backlash.


While Lorenz’s violence-condoning posts may seem anomalous, they’re not.

“Of course Taylor Lorenz said something dumb. She’s insane. She’s an insane person. Of course she said the craziest thing in the world,” but “I was honestly shocked to see how common this sentiment was,” says Stu, noting that there were a lot of people who openly celebrated Thompson’s murder on social media.

“You see from the modern left this complete passion to torch people who have too many commas in their bank accounts,” he explains. “It was okay to gleefully celebrate his murder, and that’s the ‘compassionate’ side."

“I don’t care how many claims [Thompson] denied; I don’t care how bad the company was; I don’t care what they did, frankly. You don’t gun down somebody who was walking to a shareholder meeting in the streets. I can’t believe I have to say that.”

YOU are in charge of your health— NOT the government



The “Make America Healthy Again” spin on Trump’s original slogan has undoubtedly stolen the hearts of health-minded Americans everywhere, but Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” isn’t completely sold.

“I think most people really like that idea,” he says. “We are going down a road, we’re not necessarily the healthiest people. Obesity is through the roof. There are a lot of long-term diseases out there. And so you have to kind of look at this and say, ‘Well, you know, how can we solve these problems?’”

Burguiere, who admits that he has just eaten Cheez-Its himself and gave his son Welch’s fruit snacks, doesn’t believe he’ll “make it in the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ world.”

“I can’t survive in that world, I have too much processed food,” he says, noting that healthy food isn’t the only thing RFK Jr. would be overseeing. “There are a lot of really important decisions being made by the HHS secretary as it relates to something like abortion.”


“If you’re a pro-life person, a lot of those funding decisions, the ease of being able to get chemical abortion pills mailed to you, those are all decisions that were at the HHS level. When Donald Trump was president the first time, he made decisions to restrict those efforts for abortion. Will RFK Jr. do the same thing?” Burguiere asks.

RFK Jr. has also critiqued products like Banana Boat sunscreen for children, which Burguiere isn’t quite on board with either.

“I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you should put sunscreen on your kids when they’re out in the sun. That’s just my opinion. Again, I might be out of the mainstream now,” he explains.

“So many people live in a constant state of fear trying to avoid every ingredient,” he continues. “Relax, live a little, enjoy your life. Indulge occasionally, like on Thanksgiving. Outside of really limited exceptions like allergies, you’re a pretty resilient creature. You can eat fun things and you can be perfectly fine.”

“I’m a conservative. I want smaller government. I don’t want Michael Bloomberg telling me what size soda I can drink, I don’t want Michelle Obama telling me when to move, and I don’t want RFK Jr. micromanaging my micronutrients,” he adds.

Getting on a plane for Thanksgiving? You might want to read this first



Last week, a new Blaze Originals dropped. Titled “Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster,” the documentary exposes the internal rot of America’s aviation industry. The reality is, our skies aren’t as safe as they used to be. In the last year alone, the number of “close calls” — meaning that planes narrowly avoided crashing into each other — surged to three per week.

What happened?

While there are numerous factors contributing to this decline, there’s one issue that stands out among the rest — the Federal Aviation Administration has infused DEI into its hiring system.

Stu Burguiere tells Glenn Beck just how insane the policies are.

Because of DEI policies that unfairly weed out qualified would-be air traffic controllers, our current air traffic controllers are “overworked” because nearly every control tower in the country is severely “understaffed,” Stu explains.

Further, these policies are specifically “blocking white males from getting these jobs,” he tells Glenn.

Flying an aircraft “is a matter of life and death,” says Glenn. “This DEI stuff ... it's death! It should be [spelled] DIE.”

“In the end, [death] is what happens when you have unqualified people building bridges, flying planes, being your eyes in the sky,” he adds.

“I talked to a guy in the documentary who took the merit-based test to become an air traffic controller and got a 100 on it — a perfect score. Then they added another test called the biographical exam,” says Stu.

“It had really weird questions,” like, “Did you perform well in science in high school?” and, “If you say, ‘Yes, I did well in science in high school,’ you get penalized,” he explains. “To [the FAA], you're less likely to be a minority if you did well in science in high school, so you get punished for doing well in a subject that obviously would relate to what you’re doing.”

The man who made a perfect score on the merit-based test ended up “not getting the job,” likely because the biographical exam pinned him as a white male.

“Now [he’s] suing the government over it,” says Stu.

Glenn is horrified but not surprised by all of this. In fact, he was just on a flight that nearly crashed into another plane. To hear the harrowing story of how his plane suddenly “rocketed up” unexpectedly, watch the clip above.

‘Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster’ – Blaze Originals documentary available NOW



When most people go to the airport, they are preoccupied with thoughts of checking luggage, obtaining boarding passes, getting to the correct gate, and determining whether or not their carry-on will fit in the overhead compartment. They aren’t thinking about what’s going on behind the scenes in air traffic control.

Until recently, passengers have never had to think about the strangers up in the towers tasked with ensuring that planes don’t crash into each other on the ground or in the air. They’ve always trusted that these individuals are highly qualified and capable of ensuring their safety.

Unfortunately, those days of blindly trusting that air traffic controllers have a tight grip on the reins are long gone. BlazeTV’s Stu Burguiere lays it all out in the latest Blaze Originals documentary.

“Over the past year, the number of close calls between commercial airliners has surged to nearly three per week,” says Burguiere.

What changed?

Stu traveled to Chicago, South Florida, Denver, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., and met with experts in the field as well as government officials to seek answers to that question.

The results of his investigation are both harrowing and complicated.

From severe understaffing and absurd DEI hiring policies to outdated technology and a seemingly untouchable Federal Aviation Administration, the people managing 45,000 flights, three million travelers, and 29 million square miles of airspace every single day are not in a position to continue keeping our skies safe.

We can’t help but wonder: It’s been 15 years since the last fatal commercial airline crash, but is the golden era of flying coming to an end?

Join Stu as he digs into the air infrastructure scandal few others are willing to give attention to.

Why Glenn is SKEPTICAL about the ‘HACKED’ Matt Gaetz investigation testimony



Matt Gaetz has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as attorney general, and those on thee left have made it clear they’re unhappy with the decision.

Which is why Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere of “The Glenn Beck Program” are skeptical of the recent “hacker” who reportedly gained access to testimony from the congressional investigation into Gaetz.

The unidentified hacker has reportedly obtained the sworn testimony of Gaetz’s accusers from the House ethics probe through a law firm involved in a civil suit against Joel Greenberg. Greenburg is supposedly an acquaintance of Gaetz who is serving an 11-year prison term for sex trafficking.

The file features testimony under oath by a woman who claims that she engaged in sex with Gaetz when she was only 17 and from another woman who claims to have witnessed it.


“Really amazing how we have all of this technology that could track and listen and find anything, every keystroke recorded, but we can’t find this hacker,” Glenn comments.

“It’s funny because someone will come in and hack some cell phone provider's information. Millions, billions of records go out of millions of people, and we won’t know about it for six months. The next day, we have learned all about this hack. It’s almost like someone who knew about the hack was able to immediately give that information to the New York Times,” Stu says.

“In this case, there’s definitely no interest — people who don’t like Matt Gaetz: Democrats, and some Republicans — no chance that this was a setup and leaked to the New York Times, specifically within, gosh, 24 hours,” he adds.

And Stu’s not wrong, as Gaetz definitely has ruffled some important feathers.

“He was effective. He was probably the biggest voice against the corruption at the DOJ,” Glenn says, adding, “the report comes years after the DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims on the grounds that two central witnesses had serious credibility issues.”

$1.5 billion in 15 weeks: Kamala Harris’ INSANE campaign spending exposed



Kamala Harris’ campaign took a nosedive toward the end, and upon closer look, her wasteful spending may have played a major role — as the vice president reportedly burned through $1.5 billion within just 15 weeks.

“She was able to spend $1.5 billion in 15 weeks with no assets. Really impressive,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments.

“Her cash-rich campaign spared no expense as it hunted for voters — paying for an avalanche of advertising, social-media influencers, a for-hire door-knocking operation, thousands of staff, pricey rallies, a splashy Oprah town hall, celebrity concerts, and even drone shows,” Shane Goldmacher wrote in an article for the New York Times, adding, “It was a spree that averaged roughly $100 million per week.”


The Harris campaign’s biggest expense was advertising, spending most of a whopping $600 million on producing and buying media. $2.5 million was directed toward three digital agencies that specialize in working with online influencers.

Harris’ Oprah town hall cost the campaign close to $2.5 million as well, which Oprah attempted to explain away through the cost of setup.

“Oprah does have a bit of an argument here. First of all, she wasn’t just taking in a million dollars herself, it was going to this production company, and these events do cost a lot of money,” Stu says. “You could say, ‘OK, well, shouldn’t she just give that to her for free if she supported Kamala so much?’”

“You’d think so, but because of what Democrats want from campaign finance reform, there are campaign finance laws that say you can’t basically donate a bunch of free stuff and say that’s not a donation,” he continues.

However, there is one problem.

“In their own attempt at a defense here, they seemingly reveal a crime though because they say the $1,000,000 undercounts the cost of the event, the full cost, which ran closer to $2,500,000,” he explains. “So if in the bookkeeping they say it’s a million dollars but it actually costs $2,500,000, and Oprah ate the $1,500,000, that’s actually campaign finance violation. It’s a crime.”

“So in their attempt to try to win the press war, they may have actually committed a crime,” he adds.

Liberals are FURIOUS that these two mainstream news anchors just met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago



MSNBC’s audience has “dropped by half in the last ten days,” and now it’s probably going to drop even more when viewers learn what two of the network's top hosts did last week.

Joe Scarborough of “Morning Joe” and his co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, traveled to Mar-a-Lago for a “personal sit-down with the president-elect” — the man they’ve been calling Hitler for years.

What could possibly inspire such a strange meeting?

Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere discuss the possibilities.

According to Scarborough and Brzezinski, they met with Trump in an effort to “restart communications.”

“We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump's actions and words in the coarsening of the public debate,” Brzezinski said on yesterday’s show. “But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, and January 6 were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.”

“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different,” she added.

“Something different” apparently meant consorting with the fascist enemy who they’ve sworn repeatedly will destroy this country.

Stu proposes an idea: Perhaps they’ve realized the only “rational human thing to do” is to acknowledge that despite pushing the “Donald Trump is a fascist" narrative, the majority of Americans still “voted for him.” Maybe the meeting was their effort to “try and understand” the other side.

Glenn isn’t as optimistic.

They’re “just desperate to hold on,” he says, pointing out that MSNBC is currently up for sale. They’re just “desperate to not lose [their] gig.”

“But why would that help you?” asks Stu.

“There's only two options here: One is the host you love is meeting with Hitler. The other option is they've been lying to you the entire time. Why would you ever watch that show again in either circumstance?” he wonders.

“It will [hurt viewership],” Glenn agrees, “but you are trying to inject logic into this.”

“Is it possible they actually really do believe their rhetoric this whole time, and they think Trump is actually going to pull them off the air and so they're trying to get on his good side to prevent that?” Stu then asks.

“No,” says Glenn. “We honestly thought if we lost, our time would be marked,” but “I never would have gone, ‘You know, I need to see Kamala.”’

“But you’re not a horrible human being, so you’re not understanding their situation exactly,” says Stu.

Trump appoints Gaetz and Gabbard — but are they good picks? Democrats don’t think so



Donald Trump is wasting no time building his team, and his recent appointments have fueled an absolute meltdown on the left — specifically his appointments of Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz.

Gabbard was appointed to the position of director of national intelligence, while Gaetz was appointed attorney general by the president-elect.

“What’s interesting about Gabbard,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments, “is she has come a long way, but she’s come a long way in certain categories.”

“She was very, very liberal, approaching a socialist. I mean, she was supporting Bernie Sanders for president. She’s come a long way on things like that. She has not really moved at all on her views when it comes to foreign policy and the military-industrial complex, if you will,” he explains.


However, Gabbard still must be confirmed by the Senate, and Burguiere believes that might present an uphill battle.

“She’s also probably a little risky to actually get confirmed. I don’t think the Democrats have too warm feelings for her any more, and there are a bunch of those old-school Republicans who will not like her approach to foreign affairs,” Burguiere says, noting that John Bolton has called her a “threat to national security.”

As for Gaetz, Burguiere believes it will be “an interesting ride” for him to actually get into the position, as Democrats are up in arms at the appointment and continue to accuse him of "sex trafficking."

“Is he a good pick? He will do the things that Trump wants him to do, and he will be very aggressive in doing them. And you can kind of understand the thought process here, right? Bring somebody in who is going to go balls to the wall and go into the DOJ and fire basically everybody,” Burguiere says.

“Gaetz will do it, but he’ll do it in a very splashy way, and that’s something obviously Donald Trump kind of likes, usually. So we will see how this goes,” he adds.

Can Elon & Vivek’s DOGE slash the federal bureaucracy in HALF?



Donald Trump has made it official: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been tapped to run a new “Department of Government Efficiency” (or DOGE), tasked with slashing the federal bureaucracy and spending.

“Their duty will be over by July 4, 2026, which is the 250th anniversary of America. So we’ve got a lot of work to do until then,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” comments, thrilled with the news.

The point of the Department of Government Efficiency is cutting waste in the government — though that might include mass firings of government employees.

“Ramaswamy has come up with this great idea of how to fire people. OK, we know the problem is that you just can’t fire people because they’re just going to take you to court,” Glenn says. “If you’re running a company, and you need to reduce the size of the company, you will have companies that will just cut whole divisions because they don’t want any of the lawsuits.”


“It has to be everybody, right? So what Ramaswamy has come up with, and he says this is only a thought exercise, but I think it’s brilliant. What he’s come up with is ‘We’re going to reduce the government by half, and here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to say everyone who has an odd number at the end of their social security number, you’re fired,’” Glenn explains.

However, if an employee is elected to the office they hold, they can’t be fired this way.

“If you’re elected into that office, you’re not fired. But everybody else, because we’re reducing the size of the government by half,” Glenn says.

While Stu Burguiere loves the idea of reducing the government by half, he’s skeptical of the method potentially being employed.

“Merit has nothing to do with random groups of firing, you want to fire the employees that suck,” Stu says.

“To be able to get to the place where you have merit, you have to reduce the size of the government first. You have blood letting that have to happen,” Glenn responds.

Bitcoin and gold skyrocket after Trump victory — financial expert explains why



After former President Donald Trump declared victory last week, the value of Bitcoin, gold, and various stocks skyrocketed. Financial expert and author of “MoneyGPT” James Rickards knows why.

“The immediate reaction to the Trump election was stocks took off, and with good reason. His economic policies, less regulation, drill baby drill, basically getting rid of wasteful investment in what I call the ‘Green New Scam,’” Rickards tells Jill Savage and Stu Burguiere on “Blaze News Tonight.”

“So he has a lot of things that are going to be very good for stocks. However, there’s something bigger than Trump. There’s something bigger than the electoral process, which is the economy itself,” he continues, noting that in the next six to nine months, we may be going through a recession.


“There are a lot of signs of recession out there, so we may get off to a rough start, but the same thing happened to Ronald Reagan in 1982. He had one of the worst recessions in U.S. history but finished with very strong growth toward the end of his first term and into a second term,” he explains.

While Rickards believes that Trump’s presidency will overall be a good thing for the economy, he isn’t so sure about Bitcoin as a form of currency in general.

“I’ve studied Bitcoin for a long time,” Rickards says. “If you want to buy Bitcoin, knock yourself out. But I don’t really think of it as a form of money.”

“It’s really just a form of gambling. I don’t really think of it as an investment. There’s no use case for Bitcoin. Now, can you make money? Absolutely, a lot of people have. So my attitude is I’m not a Bitcoin-basher,” he adds.

As for gold, Rickards explains that the value of it isn’t actually getting higher.

“It’s not that gold’s getting higher, it’s that the dollar is collapsing in front of your eyes,” Rickards says. “What’s really happening is you’re watching your dollar evaporate. You’re watching the dollar crash.”

“The main reason is people are looking for alternatives to the dollar. I’m not saying the dollar is going away. You can’t totally get out of the dollar. It’s too big for that,” he adds.
