BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson discuss the ongoing USAID scandal and recent revelations that the agency gave millions of dollars to the World Economic Forum and Chelsea Clinton; President Trump’s proposed tax cuts; the Senate Judiciary Committee’s decision to postpone Kash Patel’s confirmation vote by one week; and Trump’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning. Blaze News senior political editor Christopher Bedford joins to break down how the U.S. funds DEI programs around the world and his upcoming interview with David Azerrad on the Fifth American Revolution. John Eastman, former Trump lawyer and senior fellow with the Claremont Institute, discusses court challenges to Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship and how deep-state federal judges are blocking his executive orders. Finally, Jill and Matthew poll the audience on whether we will get our money back from USAID.
Today, we sit down with our good friend Megan Basham to discuss everything going on with so-called "charitable" Christian organizations supposedly receiving government funding through USAID. We go over Christianity Today, taking on the government grants and the left-leaning publications that followed, as well as whether NGOs can truly call themselves Christian if they're taking secular funds to promote overseas abortions. We also briefly go over Trump's most recent executive order banning men from competing in women's sports.
In today's episode, we go over President Trump's shutting down of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, after Elon Musk's DOGE discovered rampant misuse of taxpayer money. Despite their role of providing global humanitarian and disaster assistance, they've been sending our tax dollars to DEI training in Serbia, among other, far more ridiculous things. We also go over World Relief and other NGOs taking advantage of government funding to promote illegal immigration in the United States. And in some culture news, producer Bri went to the Grammys over the weekend, and we go over the silly celebrity speeches and review our favorite red carpet looks.
