Democrats Tim Walz, Jasmine Crockett, and Pete Buttigieg have long been controversial in the eyes of the right, but there’s a relatively new Democrat on the scene — and judging by some of his beliefs, he might be the worst of them.“His name is James Talarico,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler comments. “James Talarico is about as radical leftist as you can be if you are a politician.”And a clip of Talarico explaining his views on men in women’s sports only confirms this.“James Talarico, as he is advocating for men to take over women’s sports, also tells us that we should allow men in women’s sports in the name of God because he says God is nonbinary,” Wheeler explains, disturbed.“It’s blaspheming God so badly,” she adds.“God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary,” Talarico said in 2021 on the Texas House floor.“I think speaking like that is the definition of speaking as an antichrist,” Wheeler comments, noting that he’s only doubled down on that position since.“Just in case you were thinking that he was sweet and innocent and one of the good old-fashioned Democrats, James Talarico contends that science tells us, as well as God, that there are more than two biological sexes,” Wheeler says.“Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which honestly ... surprised me too because I, you know, am not well-versed in this issue area. I’m not a scientist; I’m a politician — a lot worse than a scientist,” Talarico said on the floor of the Texas legislature, being one of the only ones wearing a mask.But it somehow gets worse.“Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state Capitol. And you better believe I’ll be giving sermons on that too,” Talarico said.“So, when I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term, but rather as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy, similar to how we specify anti-black racism,” he added.“Notice that he’s standing in front of what appears to be an altar in a setting that appears to be a church, and you have to wonder exactly who is being worshipped in this church and who the sacrifices on that altar are being made to. I suspect it’s not to the same God that you and I worship,” Wheeler comments.“This man reminds us that politics is not just a competition, it’s not just a game. It is a battle of good versus evil. And we know this for a fact because everything that comes out of his mouth is evil. It’s not just impractical. It’s not just spending too much. It’s not just engaging in forever wars. It’s not just fraud. It’s evil,” she adds.Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Actors are getting a taste of the social media game as the White House is dropping hype videos about its foreign policy.After the administration released a video that included clips from "Top Gun," "Iron Man," "Breaking Bad," "Deadpool," and "Gladiator," actors are demanding the content be taken down.'I demand that the producers of this disgusting and juvenile war porn remove my voice immediately.'First, writer and actor Ben Stiller took issue with a clip from his movie "Tropic Thunder" being included in the compilation, saying "We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine.""War is not a movie," he added.System of a DownesMuch stronger verbiage was used by voice actor Steve Downes, who played the iconic Master Chief character in the beloved Halo video game series.Downes said on X that "at least one propaganda video" was circulating that uses his voice to support the war in Iran."Let me make this crystal clear: I did not participate in nor was I consulted, nor do I endorse the use of my voice in this video, or the message it conveys," Downes wrote. "I demand that the producers of this disgusting and juvenile war porn remove my voice immediately."RELATED: I met Gavin Newsom 20 years ago. He is as slimy now as he was back then. Music to his earsDownes wasn't the only Halo alumnus to comment on the video though. Marty O'Donnell, the original Halo score composer turned congressional candidate, did not exactly share the same sentiment."Just want you to know that, unlike Ben, I TOTALLY approve of the use of my music at the [end] of this. Finish the fight!" O'Donnell wrote. He also responded to Stiller, calling him a "sensitive artist.""I, on the other hand, approve" of the video, O'Donnell added.RELATED: Legendary Halo composer unravels the video-game industry’s woke collapse Fair useThe actors are seemingly facing a harsh lesson in social media fair use, in that most platforms, such as X and YouTube, allow brief usage of copyrighted materials so long as they are being used for analysis, commentary, or are not taking profit away from the content creator. In this instance, it is likely the latter at play since "government entities" are not included in X's revenue sharing program.In December, musicians Sabrina Carpenter and SZA both took issue with the White House using their music in videos that depicted illegal immigration raids.SZA wrote, "White House rage baiting artists for free promo is PEAK DARK ..inhumanity +shock and aw tactics ..Evil n Boring," while Carpenter responded to a video that has since been deleted.Carpenter said, "This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

When former Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters discovered a disturbing flyer included in a kit allegedly distributed to union teachers across the country — he couldn’t help but sound the alarm.“You shared this flyer that was part of an ‘everyone’s welcome here’ kit with the rainbow flag. And this was distributed to union teachers across the country,” Gonzales says, showing a photo of the flyer.“So curious thing, when you scan that QR code, do I have this correctly, Ryan? It takes you to a website where you can book an abortion?” she continues.“Yes. ... They don’t even hide it,” Walters replies.“I mean, it is, ‘OK, we’re going to trans your kid,’ ‘We want your kids to be gay,’ and then, ‘By the way, kids, here’s a direct line to how you get abortions,’” he explains.While their excuse is usually just that they’re “informing” the students of their options, Walters claims that's a lie.“No, this goes even a step further, going, 'We will help you get these abortions,'” he tells Gonzales.“You see Gavin Newsom all in on this. You see the teachers' unions all in on this, of again, what we’re pushing is indoctrination, but then also funneling you into the means to carry these things out, and again, all behind a parent's back,” he explains.“We saw the teachers' unions in Florida, California, across the country go, ‘Hey, we’ve got to shield the parents from the information their kids are getting at school.’ I mean, they literally sued the DeSantis administration in Florida to not allow parents to see the syllabus of what’s being taught in a course,” he adds.“What an insult to injury,” Gonzales chimes in. “You are paying our salaries, but we don’t have to report back to you what we’re teaching your children." "It’s the ultimate slap in the face for a parent,” Walters says.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
