PARENTAL ADVISORY: What just passed in California is coming for all kids across the nation

September 21, 2023 by BlazeTV Staff Leave a Comment

One of the last things any parents want to do is fight a power-hungry government in order to raise their kids with their own family’s values and morals.

But now, that’s exactly what parents are being forced to do.

Especially in California, where an alarming new law aims to force parents to affirm their child’s gender dysphoria — or else.

Glenn Beck is obviously not pleased and wants Americans to consider: “Who gets to raise your children?”

Because while it shouldn’t be the government, officials sure are trying to change that.

“It’s an emergency, and you have to be aware of the emergency. Because, well, it’s happening in California. Maybe not in your state yet, but it will be soon,” he adds.

Glenn is referring to the law that has just passed in California that will require judges in child custody cases to consider whether parents support their child’s gender transition in order to determine the “health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

The law passed along strictly party lines, 57-16 in the State Assembly and 30-9 in the state Senate.

Under the law, parents who fail to acknowledge and support their child’s gender transition could lose custody rights to another parent or even the state itself.

California State Assembly member Lori Wilson, who originally introduced the bill, explained why the law is important. “What’s mentioned in the law is the child’s gender identity and expression and the parents affirmation of that, whatever it is, because that is our duty as parents: to affirm our children.”

“That’s the dumbest parents advice you’ll ever hear,” Glenn responds.

“According to Lori Wilson and the state of California, you have to affirm the most permanent, completely life-altering thing a kid can possibly do to themselves.”

“This new law should alarm and disgust everyone in America, for the way it will let the state override the private family life and parenting decisions,” he adds.

Want to know the REAL insurrection in New Mexico? Well, here it is

September 12, 2023 by BlazeTV Staff Leave a Comment

The governor of New Mexico isn’t winning the hearts of conservatives any time soon. Instead, she’s committing what Stu Burguiere believes to be the “real insurrection.”

On Friday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued a “public health emergency order” that suspends the right to bear arms in Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.

The order applies to concealed or open carry of firearms on public property and lasts 30 days but can be renewed. Police officers and security guards are the only exceptions.

“You might say, ‘Wait, wait, that’s absolutely unconstitutional.’ And you’d be right,” Stu comments.

The governor cited an increase in violent crimes as her reasoning but did not acknowledge that violent crimes does not mean gun crimes.

“So, if a lot of people are being stabbed, we’re not going to ban knives, we’re going to ban guns in that community,” Stu says.

It perhaps could not be more obvious that what the governor is doing is completely unconstitutional.

“The Second Amendment is an affirmative right,” Stu says. “It says what the government cannot do to squash that affirmative right. You have a right to own a firearm and defend yourself. You have a right to do that in this country. This has been litigated for hundreds of years. She 100% knows she’s doing something unconstitutional.”

When asked during a press conference if what she was doing wasn’t clearly unconstitutional, Grisham attempted to rationalize her decision.

“With one exception, and that is if there’s an emergency, and I’ve declared an emergency for a temporary amount of time. I can invoke additional powers. No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute,” Grisham said.

Stu doesn’t believe her for a second.

“Now to be clear, she doesn’t believe anything she just said,” he says.

“She knows this is gonna get shot down in the courts. She knows this is a BS argument, but she’s trying to make it anyway.”

Stu believes that like other liberals, she’s simply “trying to manipulate public health initiatives to justify their unconstitutional actions.”

Ron DeSantis hits back at New Mexico governor for suspending gun rights: ‘SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED’

September 9, 2023 by Paul Sacca Leave a Comment

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on Friday that she is suspending gun rights for 30 days. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back at the suspension of gun rights.

The Democratic governor of New Mexico ordered that open and conceal carry laws would be suspended for 30 days in public areas in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Gov. Grisham is justifying the suspension of gun rights by claiming an emergency public health order is needed to prevent deaths involving firearms.

DeSantis slammed the so-called emergency public health order on Saturday morning, “Just a few months after ending the COVID ‘public health emergency,’ the Governor of New Mexico has declared a new ‘public health emergency’: Guns.”

“She is now asserting the power to infringe on Second Amendment rights by executive fiat. This assertion is not surprising — since 2020, ‘public health’ has become a pretext for depriving citizens of civil liberties and trampling on our Constitutional rights,” the Republican presidential candidate proclaimed.

DeSantis declared, “It ends when I am President. Your 2nd Amendment rights SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”

Other reactions on social media declared the order to be “unconstitutional.

Constitutional law attorney Jonathan Turley wrote, “The order, in my view, is flagrantly unconstitutional under existing Second Amendment precedent. It could also be a calculated effort to evade a ruling by making the period of suspension so short that it becomes moot before any final decision is reached by a court.”

The National Rifle Association said Gov. Grisham’s “unconstitutional assertion of canceling the 1st and 2nd Amendments in an ’emergency’ echoes tactics seen in tyrannical regimes, not in a free America,” adding, “The NRA remains vigilant in protecting the rights of every American citizen.”

Vivek Ramaswamy argued, “The 2nd amendment isn’t a recommendation. It’s a right. Friendly suggestion to @GovMLG on how to *actually* reduce violent crime in your state: focus on sealing your own state’s southern border & stop the virtue signaling elsewhere.”

Second Amendment advocate Dana Loesch wrote on the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter, “This shameful elected official makes the law-abiding pay for the crimes of teenagers in illegal possession. There is zero evidence that LTC holders are responsible. No mention either of your recently-former Soros-backed DA who helped cause your crime wave.”

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said, “The Governor of New Mexico now wants to arrest law-abiding gun owners simply for owning guns. Either she isn’t aware of the Constitution or has simply decided to go fascist and ignore it. Either way, we have a problem.”

Elon Musk tweeted, “At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal. How soon can this person be removed from office?”

Former Congressman Justin Amash added, “Tyrants always trample on rights under the false guise of safeguarding the public.”

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen appeared to play both sides of the fence regarding the order that infringes on gun rights in his statement:

Today, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an emergency order temporarily suspending open and concealed carry laws in Albuquerque and throughout Bernalillo County for the next 30 days. This move has been positioned as a response to the alarming and tragic rise in gun violence, particularly the heart-wrenching death of an 11-year-old boy this past week. First and foremost, every lost life is a tragedy, and the well-being of our community is of paramount concern to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office. We share in the collective grief and urgency to address this issue. However, as the elected Sheriff, I have reservations regarding this order. While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our Constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold. I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.

Grisham has already conceded that the legality of her emergency public health order will be challenged. She attempted to validate the suspension of gun rights by highlighting recent shootings in Albuquerque, including a road rage incident that killed 11-year-old Froyland Villegas outside a minor league baseball stadium.

“I’ve warned everyone that we expect a direct challenge, probably as you’re writing this we’re getting a challenge, and that’s the way it should work,” Grisham said on Friday. “But I have to take a tough direct stand, or basically I’m just ignoring the fact that we lost an 11-year-old, another child.”
