Vanilla Ice is the only one brave enough to celebrate America's 250th birthday



As controversy continues to swirl around the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair, one performer is making it clear he has no intention of dropping out: rapper Vanilla Ice.

The man behind the hit song “Ice Ice Baby” isn’t backing down from his decision to perform at the fair — which is a festival organized by Freedom 250, a nonprofit working with the White House Task Force 250.

When the lineup for the festival was announced, several large performers dropped out, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, the Commodores, and Morris Day.

“We’re going to have a nice concert with a whole bunch of acts that haven’t been big in 35 to 40 years,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray jokes on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”


“Vanilla Ice,” he says, adding, “And he was one that didn’t pull out.”

"I'm reinforced. I'm here. I am committed. Once you commit, you don't quit, man. And that's how I am," Vanilla Ice said in an interview.

"And the way the people are dragging this into politics, it's not fair," he said. "It is not fair to us as entertainers for sure. And I think that this shouldn't be looked at as political or anything."

“I don’t think that doing a partisan rally is the way to go on this,” Gray comments, though he notes that he does “love what this president is trying to do to celebrate this country.”

Joe Biden mental fitness questions return after new interview



Despite plenty of video footage showing former President Joe Biden stumbling through basic sentences and forgetting where those sentences were going, Jill Biden is once again dismissing concerns about his cognitive fitness.

In a recent interview on CBS with Rita Braver, Jill claimed more than once that Biden was “fine” when asked about his frequent gaffes.

“But what if that had happened during a meeting with foreign leaders or something like that?” Braver asked the first lady.

“I don’t know how to answer that,” Jill responded.


“Yeah, because you can’t answer that,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray chimes in on “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “He should not have been president is the only answer to that.”

“Next time you steal the presidency, make sure it’s someone with a pulse,” executive producer Keith Malinak adds.

Braver also pointed out that while “President Biden had said that he would never pardon his son,” he then pardoned him.

“Did you urge the president to think again about that?” the reporter asked.

“Well, you know, Joe said in the beginning, ‘I won’t pardon Hunter. I won’t pardon Hunter.’ And then the Justice Department changed, and I think that the process was not fair to Hunter,” Jill answered.

Jill was also asked about Biden’s mental decline, with the reporter asking, “Did you ever see signs that he was falling into cognitive decline?”

“No, no,” she answered.

Malinak isn’t amused by Jill’s claim, commenting, “You’re a liar.”

The biggest fraud scandal in America? JD Vance says it’s worse than you think.



Vice President JD Vance revealed just how much taxpayer money is lost to fraud across America — and it’s more than you think.

“We’ve referred over $22 billion in fraudulent small business loans back to the Treasury for collection. We deferred more than $1.3 billion in fraudulent Medicaid reimbursements that were coming from various states, particularly California,” Vance explained.

The Trump administration has also “put a six-month hold on enrollments for new hospice and home health care providers” due to a large amount of fraud uncovered in hospices all over the country.

“We’ve recovered taxpayer funds from the $135 billion stolen after the floodgates were opened in the immediate aftermath of COVID. We have found $6.3 billion in suspected fraudulent government contracts which were mostly awarded during the last administration, and that has stopped,” Vance continued.


“And finally, we’ve blocked $60 million in student aid fraud that should have gone to young people trying to get an education, but instead were going to fraudsters,” he added.

“JD Vance is doing his darndest to try to clean up the fraud situation in America,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments. “We’ve got all the Somali fraud. We’ve got fraud in California. We’ve got fraud, I’m sure, in every state, but it’s really really rampant in some more than others.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also commented on the huge amount of fraud, explaining that American systems were “set up based on the honor system.”

“They’re set up based on the idea that you could trust the average person, through their own morality, to abide by the rules and comply with the law,” he said, before championing Vance’s efforts to tackle fraud.

“Because of the vice president’s leadership, you are seeing the most muscular, robust, aggressive, dedicated, determined, and speedy effort to shut down criminal fraud that has not only ever occurred in the history of this country, but in any developed nation,” he said.

“Thank you,” Gray comments.

Talarico desperately walks back ‘God is nonbinary’ claim, blames Paxton for clipping ‘cringy comments’



James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, has been distancing himself from some of his more provocative past statements now that he’s in the general election against Republican candidate Ken Paxton.

On this episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat and the panel revisit one of Talarico’s wildest statements and criticize his convenient backtracking.

In 2021 during a Texas House floor/committee debate on transgender issues, Talarico claimed that “God is nonbinary.”

“God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary,” he began.

He then used Scripture to justify supporting trans rights.

“In Genesis 1:26, God speaks of God’s self in the plural, saying, ‘Let us make human beings in our image to be like us.’ That’s the infinite multitude of God. The masculine, the feminine, and everything in between,” Talarico continued. “Trans children are God’s children made in God’s own image. There’s nothing wrong with them. Nothing at all. They are perfect. They are beautiful, and they are sacred.”

This highly controversial claim, which many Christians called heretical, has been hammered by Attorney General Ken Paxton and Republicans as powerful proof of just how radical Talarico really is. The clip has resurfaced in force during the 2026 Senate race, with Paxton using it to expose Talarico’s extreme views on gender and Christianity that are wildly out of step with Texas values and mainstream biblical theology.

It appears Talarico knows his “God is nonbinary” statement isn’t helping him in the Senate race. In a recent interview with CBS’ Ed O'Keefe, he softened his former statement.

“I was being intentionally provocative with that statement. But what it means is that God can’t be defined by human categories. The apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians says that in Christ there is neither male nor female,” he said, blaming Paxton for “intentionally clipping [his] cringy comments to distract from his career of corruption.”

“Oh, so it’s Ken Paxton’s fault that you’re twisting the word of God?” scoffs co-host Keith Malinak, calling Talarico “insufferable.”

In an earlier interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Talarico shared similar sentiments.

“I understand that that comment is a little provocative. I said it on the House floor when the extremists in the Republican legislature were picking on school kids who were different. But I don’t think it’s controversial theologically. Most Christians would acknowledge that God is beyond gender,” he said.

Pat notes how “bizarre” it is that a trans advocate like Talarico claims to be “a champion of women’s rights” but only seems to care about the feelings of transgender-identifying people — never the women who suffer from their spaces and sports being invaded by biological males.

“If they want to play sports, let’s come up with a way to let them engage in sports. Like with their own biological gender, they could compete, or we create a separate category for trans people,” Pat argues. “But you don’t stick them against the females. It doesn’t make any sense.”

‘Fully embracing Marxism’: Pat Gray SHOCKED by Mamdani’s plan for NYC property owners



New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly unveiled housing agenda called Fix the City represents a dramatic expansion of government power over private property — honing in on “the worst landlords in New York City” as a target.

“When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards,” he explained.

“Stewards that include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves,” he added.


“Pat Gray Unleashed” executive producer Keith Malinak is shocked to hear the cheers from the crowd during Mamdani’s speech, calling them “good little communists.”

“Wow, so they’re going to redistribute wealth. They’re going to take the property from the landowner and give it to the tenant,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments.

Mamdani also recently quoted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, telling a crowd, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

He quickly caveated, “If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess.”

However, Gray doesn’t see it the same way as Mamdani.

“It’s worse than I imagined, I think. It’s even worse,” he says. “And it’s unabashed. And it’s unashamed. He’s just fully embracing Marxism.”

Grainy UFO files called a ‘deep-state classic,’ while mysterious object appears during Philippines volcano eruption



As the Pentagon continues releasing highly anticipated UFO files that so far span 80 years of sightings, the public continues asking why all of the video is grainy.

And Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.) is one of them.

“The stuff they’re dropping right now is just — I mean, this is the deep-state classic,” Burchett said.

“You know, they won’t show y’all some of the stuff that we’ve seen. They’re going to show stuff that is easily identifiable,” he continued after the latest UFO files drop.


“So there obviously is footage of easily identifiable UFOs,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

However, the newly released UFO files aren’t the only recent evidence of extraterrestrials.

Unlike the grainy footage in the UFO files, executive producer Keith Malinak plays one clip of a volcanic explosion in the Philippines — where a mysterious object appears after a meteor shoots behind the Mayon Volcano.

“Looks like a lightning strike almost,” Gray comments.

“So if later today you hear about aliens in the Philippines, well, now you understand why they originated there, because that’s where they landed,” Malinak says.

“Yeah, if you’re an alien," Jeff Fisher jokes, "you want to land in the Philippines."

'Directed beam teleportation': Ashton Forbes claims US intelligence is hiding INSANE truth about missing plane



Over a decade after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished without a trace, Ashton Forbes believes the public still isn’t getting the full story — arguing that the United States government knows what happened to the missing Boeing 777 and is actively concealing critical information from the public.

“There’s clearly a cover-up going on with respect to that missing plane,” Forbes tells BlazeTV host Pat Gray on “Pat Gray Unleashed," pointing out that the government has satellites everywhere.

“We’ve got over-the-horizon radar systems. We can detect every whale in the ocean and every submarine,” he continues, before pulling out a stack of responses to Freedom of Information Act requests Forbes has sent, which he calls “glamour responses related to MH370.”


“I figured out everything, and I’ve been FOIA requesting everything from them. Every single thing’s being met with a rejection, including a transcript of a communication that the U.S. Navy supposedly intercepted of the plane having a mayday and then a document related to the fate of MH370 that was given to the Malaysian government from the United States,” he explains.

“Why would the CIA glamour response that if they don’t have information about it, right?” he asks, adding, “So the evidence to me is overwhelming, there’s something going on regarding the missing plane.”

Forbes goes on to say he thinks “it’s clearly some type of espionage.”

“I would say it’s got to be China versus the United States, given the proximity, given the South China Sea, given the fact that there’s 20 engineers on the plane that were working for an American company that were flying to Beijing,” he explains.

“The scenario seems pretty obvious that that’s had to be generally what was going on. As to why they did this, I’m not entirely sure,” he says.

“But I can tell you ... the director of the science and technology of the CIA is where they’re hiding this super advanced technology,” he adds.

As to what they did with the plane, Forbes tells Gray that it’s a “directed beam teleportation.”

“This sounds crazy as hell of course,” he says. “‘Cause you would think, hey, if you can wormhole something, why can’t you just wormhole it anywhere you want? And in theory you can, but there are limitations in physics.”

“You can’t signal faster than the speed of light,” Forbes explains, calling this the “no communication theorem.”

“You couldn’t do teleportation. But there’s ways around this. And one of those ways if you have an anchor, like if you have a preset anchor, you could think of like a warp gate in sci-fi. If you have an anchor like that, now you have a pre-established connection bridge,” he says.

“So what I think is happening specifically is that when they’re spinning around that plane, they’re aiming exactly the direction in which they want that plane to show up through an extra dimension and then it goes in a straight line,” he continues.

“And that’s where your anchor comes into play. They aim it in a direction, it hits this point, and there’s an opposite polarity charge. Like, let’s say these orbs have a three positive charge polarity. Then there’s an opposite polarity. So it hits that point and then just reemerges in our spacetime,” he adds.

“That is so cool,” Gray comments, shocked.

Jeff Bezos blames government policy — not billionaires — for America’s economic problems



In a recent interview, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos pushed back against claims that taxing billionaires more would meaningfully improve life for working Americans, arguing that even dramatically increasing his tax burden would do little to solve inflation or lower costs for families.

“People sometimes say that, you know, I don’t pay taxes. That’s not true. I pay billions of dollars in taxes ... if people want me to pay more billions, then let’s have that debate, but don’t pretend that that’s going to solve the problem,” Bezos said.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you. You can’t connect those two things. Not logically,” he added.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray couldn’t agree with Bezos more, pointing out that he also “bleeds terribly” during tax season — but the government largely just wastes his money.


“And so, what happens is you could double that, or you could triple it, or you could quadruple it. It’s still going to the government, and they’re still wasting it on crap,” he adds.

But Bezos wasn’t done, taking on high rent costs as well.

“I recently saw somebody blame it on Airbnb. OK, Airbnb is not the cause of expensive rent ... it’s already been outlawed in New York City and rents are still very high. So we know Airbnb isn’t causing high rents,” he said.

“What’s really causing high rent is government intervention. We subsidize demand with things like tax policy, which is fine, but at the same time, we constrain supply. We constrain supply with things like zoning and permitting. Why does it take so long to get something permitted to build?” he continued.

“If you want rents to come down, econ 101, really simple,” he said, explaining that you can’t subsidize demand and constrain supply.

“If you do, prices are going to skyrocket. But this is not anybody’s fault other than government policy. And this is fixable. Again, this is a skills issue,” he added.

“We should put together an economic commission. Featuring Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, you probably want to avoid Bill Gates,” Gray comments.

“But you know, get these guys together who know how to be successful and understand economics and help us craft a makes-sense tax policy in this country where you’re not just pounding people who are successful,” he adds.

Spencer Pratt’s viral campaign is turning into a political nightmare for Karen Bass



What began as an unconventional celebrity campaign is quickly becoming one of the most disruptive political movements in California.

Spencer Pratt, whose home was destroyed during the Pacific Palisades Fire, has emerged as an unlikely challenger to Los Angeles’ political establishment — and his relentless viral campaign targeting Mayor Karen Bass is gaining serious traction.

And BlazeTV host Pat Gray is seriously impressed with what Pratt has accomplished so far.

“If you’ve not been following the mayoral race in Los Angeles, it has really heated up. It’s unbelievable what’s happening with Spencer Pratt,” Gray comments.

“The guy has run a brilliant campaign with these creative ads that have gone viral all over the place, and it seems like there’s a new one every day,” he says.


“And I really hope he wins because Los Angeles used to be a beautiful city, a great place to visit. I’m sure it was a great place to live. But look at it now. I mean, he pointed out some of the issues with the feces in the street and the homeless encampments,” he adds.

In the aftermath of Pratt’s creative ads, Bass is facing increasingly critical questions from the media about the state of the city.

“When you talked to Jake Tapper in 2023, you said that your goal was to end street homelessness in L.A. by 2026. It’s now 2026,” a reporter on "60 Minutes" said to Bass in an interview.

“And we haven’t ended it,” Bass interrupted, laughing.

“And we’re not close to ending it,” the reporter interjected, asking, “How were you so off?”

“Well, basically, when I said that, it was at the beginning of my term. I am very committed to achieving that goal. I didn’t anticipate some of the bureaucratic barriers that I would experience, but I am prepared to take those on now,” Bass responded.

“So,” Gray comments, “What she is saying is, ‘I’ve really sucked up until this point, but I’m going to be great.’”

In another part of the interview, Bass championed the “42,000 units of affordable housing” she has fast-tracked, claiming, “It still takes a couple years.”

“So basically the policy of L.A. city and L.A. county was we could accept street homelessness as long as we were building. We didn’t anticipate the problem metastasizing,” she continued.

Bass went on to claim that they “know what we need to do now to end street homelessness.”

“We need to end the failed policies of the past, which is, ‘All we’re going to do is focus on building. And we are going to ignore street homelessness.’ That is what the city and the county has done for years,” she explained.

“That’s insane,” Gray comments.

“If you buy into that, wow, you’ll get what you deserve,” he adds.

AOC’s fiery voting rights speech mocked after major speech blunder in Alabama



Following redistricting in the South, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) delivered a passionate speech on voting rights and political organizing in Alabama, where she called on activists from northern states to “pull up” on their southern neighbors.

During the speech, AOC argued that protecting voting rights leads to better schools, expanded health care, and broader political representation, while warning supporters that opponents fear people “coming together” across state lines.

“It is time for the North to pull up to the South," AOC yelled, "It is time for New York to pull up to Alabama. It is time for all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Mississippi and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice."


“Because when black Americans have the right to vote and that vote is protected, our schools get funded. When voting rights are protected, health care gets expanded. When voting rights are protected, our country moves forward,” she said.

“And Montgomery, that’s what they’re actually afraid of. They’re afraid of us coming together. They’re afraid of us protecting one another. Alabama is the crucible. Georgia is the crucible. Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi is the crucible,” she continued.

“It is time to pull up. Because what they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo,” she yelled.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray laughs, saying, “Of course, she means salvo. It’s ‘the opening salvo.’”

“She doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” he adds.
