Are America's leaders enabling chaos in Israel and the border?

There is a leader vacuum that is evident in every corner of America and the entire world, and you can see it manifesting itself in our news stories.

I want to start with Israel today. Yesterday we showed you some of the most gruesome pictures I have ever seen. They were shocking, the truth of what the enemies of mankind, the radical Islamists, are capable of. Now, their direct enemy, the enemy of truth, Hamas, is once again calling for the extermination of corrupt Jews. Look at this.

How do you possibly expect someone to sit down at a peace table where they are saying, “We will exterminate every single one of you” and then back it up with their Scriptures? It’s insanity.

A Hamas rocket misfired yesterday, landing in a hospital in Gaza, killing nine children. Who did Hamas say did it? They said Israel did. Israel’s cabinet is now warning that they are seeing the signs of the beginning of another Holocaust, but instead of believing that that is even possible, of course it is, listen to the words of the leaders. It’s like read Mein Kampf. How did you miss this?

It’s because you don’t want to look at that. The world chooses to believe terrorists. The world chooses to believe that they can’t possibly be that horrible. The Associated Press looked more like Gaza propaganda today. Earlier today this is what they said: “As much of world watches Gaza war in horror, members of Congress fall over each other to support Israel.” Excuse me? Did you see what we just played for you? That was Hamas.

They went on. The spin continued. They said the violence was Israel’s fault, “Senior Palestinian official offers 24 hour truce in Gaza, says he’s also speaking for Hamas.” Really? More, “A spokesman brushed aside the offer, saying until Israel hears from Hamas directly, it’s not serious.” Well, of course it’s not serious. The Associated Press views Hamas as the victim who just wants to give peace a chance, but they will dismiss the words that I just played for you, and they will conclude that it’s just these darn Israelis that just can’t, you know, can’t get along with everybody.

This Sunday, TheBlaze was one of the first to report through Sharona Schwartz, our reporter in Israel, she reported on the truth on Hamas. She showed the mega-attack that was being plotted and planned through the Gaza terror tunnels that was stopped.

And what the plan was is they were going to, Hamas was going to dress as Israeli soldiers, which, by the way, is against the Geneva Convention, and they had all of these uniforms that they had either stolen or had made. And they were going to go through the terror tunnels, and they were going to kidnap as many Jews as possible.

Leaders of the world are too afraid, too cowardice, or too bought and sold, they don’t even know who they are anymore, and they won’t stand boldly in the truth. Instead, we get John Kerry. Now, John Kerry, I don’t mean to be divisive here, you know how I feel about him, but this peace deal that he was offering to Israel was laughed off by everyone in the region, including the Palestinian Authority.

He has done something that nobody else has been able to do since the time of Abraham, and that is unite Jew and Arab and Palestinian alike, everybody together, unite them laughing at him. I don’t think that’s ever happened. Hamas was the only one who benefited from this offer, and even the Egyptians, they were mocking him openly. That’s leadership? And then we have something even worse, the people like the Democratic Senate candidate Michelle Nunn. Her father has got to be horrified by this. Her stance has just come out in a memo on Israel.

Her stance was to be determined by how much financial opportunity there is, so who’s going to give me more cash? Are the Jews going to give me more cash, the Palestinians, who? Because I’ll determine it largely on the level of support. It is disgusting. It is frustrating. It is un-American. It is un-American. I don’t know who we are anymore because we have lost our why. Why are we even a nation anymore?

The debate on illegal immigration, everybody’s rushing in to find a quick solution, let’s find a solution, got to find a solution. Could we just ask people, “Why are you here?” It’s a simple question. Ask them that simple question, “Why are you coming here?” If you do, you’ll find out because most will say Obama will take care of us. Those are quotes, “Obama will take care of us. He will grant us amnesty.”

Yesterday, illegal immigrants protested outside of the White House. If you are not afraid, if you are here illegally, and you’re protesting in front of the White House, and you notice, nobody’s face is being blurred here. Really? You’re completely unafraid of the law. There is no justice. It’s completely broken down.

A leader in Washington would tell people, “Stop coming.” We love you, we have compassion, we will find those who are really, truly needing asylum, but that’s it, stop coming here. It’s what I did on this network, but it’s what the president needs to do on every network. And because he doesn’t, there’s a vacuum, and people now are taking matters into their own hands.

I’m warning you, when justice fails, vengeance grows if we don’t grow mercy, and this is the end. We now have armed militias moving across Texas. This is different than the Minutemen. The Minutemen were unarmed and simply reporting illegal crossings. Now, I’m sure that most people in this militia have good intentions. Well, I don’t know, I don’t know. They’re being described as antigovernment, but I’m described as antigovernment, so I don’t know.

I know that if you are carrying guns down on the border, it’s not going to end well and especially if it is driven by anger. Even if it is righteous anger, it’s a recipe for disaster.

The world needs leaders, and as our founders proved, you don’t have to be some fancy CEO at the top of an organizational chart to lead. Anybody can do it. Anyone can do it. Perhaps it’s you.

Tonight, our guest is going to try to shore that up because the next great leader might just be you.

Trump branded a tyrant, but did Obama outdo him on deportations?

MSNBC and CNN want you to think the president is a new Hitler launching another Holocaust. But the actual deportation numbers are nowhere near what they claim.

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust. He claimed that Hitler didn’t bother with German law — he just hauled people off to death camps in Poland and Hungary. Apparently, that’s what Trump is doing now by deporting MS-13 gang members to El Salvador.

Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans. I’ll wait while you try to do that math.

The debate is about control — weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent.

Media mouthpieces like Sanders and Matthews are just the latest examples of the left’s Pavlovian tribalism when it comes to Trump and immigration. Just say the word “Trump,” and people froth at the mouth before they even hear the sentence. While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise. And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.

Numbers don’t lie

The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump. It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals. President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals. Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.

So how does Donald Trump stack up? Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton. In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people. Yes, that’s assertive for a first term — but it's still fewer than Biden was deporting toward the end of his presidency.

The numbers simply don’t support the hysteria.

Who's the “dictator” here? Trump is deporting fewer people, with more legal oversight, and still being compared to history’s most reviled tyrant. Apparently, sending MS-13 gang members — violent criminals — back to their country of origin is now equivalent to genocide.

It’s not about immigration

This debate stopped being about immigration a long time ago. It’s now about control — about weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent. It’s about turning Donald Trump into the villain of every story, facts be damned.

If the numbers mattered, we’d be having a very different national conversation. We’d be asking why Bill Clinton deported six times as many people as Trump and never got labeled a fascist. We’d be questioning why Barack Obama’s record-setting removals didn’t spark cries of ethnic cleansing. And we’d be wondering why Trump, whose enforcement was relatively modest by comparison, triggered lawsuits, media hysteria, and endless Nazi analogies.

But facts don’t drive this narrative. The villain does. And in this script, Trump plays the villain — even when he does far less than the so-called heroes who came before him.

Exposed: America’s ancient power grid is a national security disaster

If America wants to remain a global leader in the coming decades, we need more energy fast.

It's no secret that Glenn is an advocate for the safe and ethical use of AI, not because he wants it, but because he knows it’s coming whether we like it or not. Our only option is to shape AI on our terms, not those of our adversaries. America has to win the AI Race if we want to maintain our stability and security, and to do that, we need more energy.

AI demands dozens—if not hundreds—of new server farms, each requiring vast amounts of electricity. The problem is, America lacks the power plants to generate the required electricity, nor do we have a power grid capable of handling the added load. We must overcome these hurdles quickly to outpace China and other foreign competitors.

Outdated Power Grid

Our power grid is ancient, slowly buckling under the stress of our modern machines. AAI’s energy demands could collapse it without a major upgrade. The last significant overhaul occurred under FDR nearly a century ago, when he connected rural America to electricity. Since then, we’ve patched the system piecemeal, but it’s still the same grid from the 1930s. Over 70 percent of the powerlines are 30 years old or older, and circuit breakers and other vital components are in similar condition. Most people wouldn't trust a dishwasher that was 30 years old, and yet much of our grid relies on technology from the era of VHS tapes.

Upgrading the grid would prevent cascading failures, rolling blackouts, and even EMP attacks. It would also enable new AI server farms while ensuring reliable power for all.

A Need for Energy

Earlier this month, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared before Congress as part of an AI panel and claimed that by 2030, the U.S. will need to add 96 gigawatts to our national power production to meet AI-driven demand. While some experts question this figure, the message is clear: We must rapidly expand power production. But where will this energy come from?

As much as eco nuts would love to power the world with sunshine and rainbows, we need a much more reliable and significantly more efficient power source if we want to meet our electricity goals. Nuclear power—efficient, powerful, and clean—is the answer. It’s time to shed outdated fears of atomic energy and embrace the superior electricity source. Building and maintaining new nuclear plants, along with upgraded infrastructure, would create thousands of high-paying American jobs. Nuclear energy will fuel AI, boost the economy, and modernize America’s decaying infrastructure.

A Bold Step into the Future

This is President Trump’s chance to leave a historic mark on America, restoring our role as global leaders and innovators. Just as FDR’s power grid and plants made America the dominant force of the 20th century, Trump could upgrade our infrastructure to secure dominance in the 21st century. Visionary leadership must cut red tape and spark excitement in the industry. This is how Trump can make America great again.

POLL: Is K2-18b proof of alien LIFE in the cosmos?

Are we alone in the universe?

It's no secret that Glenn keeps one eye on the cosmos, searching for any signs of ET. Late last week, a team of astronomers at the University of Cambridge made an exciting discovery that could change how we view the universe. The astronomers were monitoring a distant planet, K2-18b, when the James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide, two atmospheric gases believed only to be generated by living organisms. The planet, which is just over two and a half times larger than Earth, orbits within the "habitable zone" of its star, meaning the presence of liquid water on its surface is possible, further supporting the possibility that life exists on this distant world.

Unfortunately, humans won't be able to visit K2-18b to see for ourselves anytime soon, as the planet is about 124 light-years from Earth. This means that even if we had rockets that could travel at the speed of light, it would still take 124 years to reach the potentially verdant planet. Even if humans made the long trek to K2-18b, they would be faced with an even more intense challenge upon arrival: Gravity. Assuming K2-18b has a similar density to Earth, its increased size would also mean it would have increased gravity, two and a half times as much gravity, to be exact. This would make it very difficult, if not impossible, for humans to live or explore the surface without serious technological support. But who knows, give Elon Musk and SpaceX a few years, and we might be ready to seek out new life (and maybe even new civilizations).

But Glenn wants to know what you think. Could K2-18b harbor life on its distant surface? Could alien astronomers be peering back at us from across the cosmos? Would you be willing to boldly go where no man has gone before? Let us know in the poll below:

Could there be life on K2-18b?

Could there be an alien civilization thriving on K2-18b?

Will humans develop the technology to one day explore distant worlds?

Would you sign up for a trip to an alien world?

Is K2-18b just another cold rock in space?

Our children are sick, and Big Pharma claims to be the cure, but is RFK Jr. closer to proving they are the disease?

For years, neurological disorders in our children have been on the rise. One in nine children in the U.S. has been diagnosed with ADHD, and between 2016 and 2022, more than one million kids were told they suffer from the disorder. Similarly, autism diagnoses have increased by 175 percent over the past decade. RFK Jr. pledged to investigate the rising rates of neurological disorders as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and this week, he announced a major initiative.

Earlier this week, RFK Jr. announced that the HHS has embarked on a massive testing and research effort to uncover the root causes of autism and the sharp spike in recent diagnoses. The HHS Secretary vowed that the results will be available by September of this year, leaving many skeptical about the study's rigor. Conversely, some speculate that the HHS may have unpublished studies revealing critical insights into these disorders, just waiting to see the light of day.

Glenn brought up a recent article by the Daily Wire referencing a New York Times piece in which experts questioned the legitimacy of ADHD diagnoses. Glenn agreed and suggested that people are just wired differently; they learn, work, and study differently, and the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all school system simply fails to accommodate everyone.

New York Times' ADHD Admission

Earlier this week, the New York Times published an article that made a shocking admission: there are no concrete biological markers for ADHD. The clinical definition of ADHD is no longer supported by the evidence, and there are no physical, genetic, or chemical identifiers for the disorder, nor is there any real way to test for it. The paper also admitted that people diagnosed with ADHD would suddenly find that they no longer had any symptoms after a change of environment, profession, or field of study. This suggests that "ADHD" might simply be a matter of interests and skills, not a chronic brain sickness.

The most horrifying implication of this admission is that millions of people, including children, have been prescribed heavy mind-altering drugs for years for a disorder that lacks real evidence of its very existence. These drugs are serious business and include products such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Desoxyn. All of these drugs are considered "Schedule II," which is a drug classification that puts them on the same level as cocaine, PCP, and fentanyl. Notably, Desoxyn is chemically identical to methamphetamine, differing only in its production in regulated laboratories rather than illegal settings.

Worse yet, studies show that these medications, like Desoxyn, often provide no long-term benefits. Testing demonstrated that in the short term, there were some positive effects, but after 36 months, there was no discernible difference in symptoms between people who were medicated and those who were not. For decades, we have been giving our children hardcore drugs with no evidence of them working or even that the disorder exists.

RFK Jr's Autism Study

Autism rates are on the rise, and RFK Jr. is going to get to the bottom of it. In the year 2000, approximately one in 150 children was diagnosed with autism, but only 20 years later, the rate had increased to one in 36. While some claim that this is simply due to more accurate testing, RFK Jr. doesn't buy it and is determined to discover what is the underlying cause. He is an outspoken critic of vaccines, asserting that the true scope of their side effects has been buried by greed and corruption to sell more vaccines.

RFK Jr. doesn't plan on stopping at vaccines. Similar to ADHD, RFK Jr. suspects other environmental factors could increase of autism or exacerbate symptoms. Factors like diet, water quality, air pollution, and parenting approaches are all under investigation. It's time to bring clarity to the neurological disorders that plague our nation, cut through the corruption, and reveal the healing truth.

Neurological Intervention

Big Pharma has been all too happy to sit back and watch as the rate of neurological disorders climbs, adding to the ever-growing list of permanent patients who are led to believe that their only choice is to shell out endless money for treatments, prescriptions, and doctor visits. Rather than encouraging lifestyle changes to improve our well-being, they push ongoing medication and costly treatments.

All RFK Jr. is doing is asking questions, and yet the backlash from the "experts" is so immense that one can't help but wonder what they could be hiding. Both Glenn and RFK Jr. have their suspicions of Big Pharma, and the upcoming HHS study might be one of the most important steps to making America healthy again.
