She Survived Her Execution. Now What?
Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike twice, and she survived both attempts. Now critics are calling the death penalty inhumane, and some say you can't be pro-life and support it.

They Came For Me When I Was 13 w/ Brigitte Gabriel
Brigette Gabriel knows the threat of Islamic conquest better than almost any American. She lived it from the time she was a small child until she finally escaped as a teenager. She eventually made it to the United States as a journalist. But it wasn’t until 9/11 that she had to explain to her young daughter, the same thing that her father had to explain to her that she became an activist and ardent defender of the United States against Islam.

What Does It Mean to Be British? w/ 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."

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.

Britain's Immigration Crisis is More Extreme Than You Think
Konstantin Kisin says Britain did something extreme — then called anyone who noticed an extremist. In this interview, the Soviet-born Trigonometry co-host walks through what that looked like — more people arriving in 11 years under Tony Blair than since 1066, a London he calls "completely unrecognizable" from the city he moved to in 1996, a welfare system that fits a Middle Eastern saying: if you want to work, go to America; if you want benefits, go to Europe — and why he believes you could deport every illegal immigrant "three times over" and still not fix a country whose GDP per capita is lower than it was 20 years ago. His argument isn't that Britain is lost; it's that the Shire has to be tended, and the people meant to protect it haven't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.
