    Why Mamdani is DOOMED to FAIL

    Zohran Mamdani’s rise has put democratic socialism, and the DSA behind it, at the center of American politics, with a promise to make life more affordable and dignified for everyone. But is capitalism really the villain socialists say it is, and can socialism actually deliver a better life for Americans, or does the math tell a different story?

    Is Britain About to Lose Its Identity?

    For 50 years, British voters have said no to more immigration. It kept coming anyway. In this interview, Connor Tomlinson explains how Brexit was followed by an immigration wave that dwarfed Blair's, why young British men are increasingly pushing back, and why he believes the country has only one or two elections left to change course. And he has a surprising answer to a simple question: can you become English? There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

    Patrick Christys found three migrant smugglers in an hour using burner phones and TikTok.

    France Is Burning — And the Left Lit the Match

    In under two weeks, French students went from asking for more teachers to setting fire to 24 high schools and sending more than 300 police officers to the hospital. French intelligence told the prime minister it was "an operation organised" by Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hard-left party, and one of that party's mayors told reporters "violence can be legitimate." A year after Emmanuel Macron recognized a Palestinian state for what he reportedly called domestic political reasons, the Palestinian flag is flying over school barricades even though Palestine isn't in a single student demand. In this episode, we connect the dots between France's immigration system, its Palestine gamble, and the Red-Green alliance between the radical left and political Islam. We also explain why the Arab world learned this lesson decades ago and Europe still hasn't.

    What Does It Mean to Be British? | Guest: Winston Marshall

    Winston Marshall says politeness is killing Britain. In this interview, he walks through how the country got here — two London synagogues firebombed in a single month while the prime minister is "very reluctant" to say "Islamism," more immigration in 20 years than in the previous 2,000, grooming gangs he traces back to the 1950s — and why he believes a right-wing government coming in in 2029 would have just five years to deliver, because if it isn't done, "it's kind of over." His message to Americans: "If America falls, the Western project falls." There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

    The 1965 Law That Started America's Immigration Crisis

    Lora Ries says Biden's HHS lost track of 400,000 migrant children, and Congress still hasn't acted. In this interview, she walks through how America got here — a 1965 law that launched chain migration, an asylum system she calls "easy to defraud," a trafficking program that went from an estimated 600,000–800,000 victims to 27 million worldwide with only 5,000 convictions — and the specific bills she says Congress could pass right now. Her warning to Republicans heading into the midterms: "Inaction is going to keep people home." SPONSOR: Human Coalition For $26, you can create a life-saving moment for a mother and her baby.
