The algorithm is its own “Animal Farm.” “Four legs good, two legs bad” may come in the form of binary code, but the tyranny is just as real. Most content in alternative media gets watered down to please the ruling digital overlords.

Unless you work for a company like Blaze Media — which has built talent lineups that can thrive outside the algorithm — odds are, you were made to be ruled.

Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Trans — they’ve all come for you once. They’ll do it again.

Ever wonder why some “conservative” hosts sound bold on a handful of safe topics but go quiet on election interference or the COVID jab? The algorithm spoke. They complied.

Pound for pound, my show may have taken the biggest hit among conservatives trying to monetize YouTube traffic since 2020. That we managed to hit seven-figure revenues without help from the world’s largest search engine is, frankly, a miracle.

Big Tech operates like a loaded gun, aimed and cocked by the federal government.

The Biden administration didn’t just whisper suggestions. It literally contacted YouTube and demanded the censorship of Alex Berenson. That’s bad enough.

But thanks to research by DataRepublican and DOGE, we now know the algorithm went a step further — using your tax dollars to boost regime-approved content across major tech platforms through USAID.

That’s not just outrageous. It’s an antitrust violation, plain and simple. And I don’t plan on taking it lying down.

For several months, I’ve worked with First Liberty in Dallas — one of the nation’s top constitutional conservative legal organizations. With their help, I filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission just before Memorial Day. Here’s a key excerpt:

YouTube’s metrics show that the “Steve Deace Show” experienced explosive growth on YouTube in 2020. The show continued strong in 2021, but toward the end of that year, his videos started being removed. And this precipitated a sharp fall in views and impressions in 2022. The sharp decline strongly suggests that YouTube shadow banned or otherwise limited the visibility of the “Steve Deace Show” in 2022 and possibly starting in the end of 2021. During the same period of time where YouTube views and impressions were sharply declining, the “Steve Deace Show” experienced significant growth on other platforms. The show’s strong performance on Apple Podcasts maintained their upper trajectory throughout this period of time.

Consider the contrast: While YouTube buried the show in 2021, my podcast was outperforming on Apple — strong enough to earn me a three-year contract extension with Blaze Media. That same year, my book “Faucian Bargain” became a No. 1 bestseller in the United States.

It doesn’t add up — unless you account for censorship.

In 2021, 69% of our YouTube views came from subscribers, 31% from nonsubscribers. In 2022, that number skewed even further — 76% subscribers, only 24% nonsubscribers. That ratio should never tilt that far. Most YouTube traffic typically comes from recommendations, not regular followers.

As we explained in our FTC complaint: “This trend line is clear evidence of suppression because it shows how YouTube refused to feature, refused to recommend, and otherwise decreased the visibility of the platform.”

Word is, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson takes Big Tech censorship seriously. I hope that’s true — because people likely died due to what YouTube did. Shows like mine were offering counternarratives to the COVID cult. And we were silenced.

Whoever controls language controls the debate. That’s why this isn’t just a tech policy fight. It’s a battle for the future of Western civilization.

The left has shown its hand: If they had the power, they’d disappear you. They already tried. Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Trans — they’ve all come for you once. They’ll do it again.

This isn’t a squabble over ad revenue or traffic metrics. It’s a battle against the deliberate unraveling of reality itself.

So fight we must. And with severe prejudice.

Stay tuned.

Georgia police said they were able to identify and arrest four teenagers who are facing hate crime charges for cutting up Pride flags at an Atlanta gay bar.

The teenagers were caught on surveillance video cutting up the flags in front of Blake’s on the Park, which is located on a square with a rainbow Pride crosswalk design, according to police.

‘To come here and actively do a hate crime, during Pride Month, where, you know, everyone is supposed to feel the most safe, it feels just vulgar.’

Investigators said that the video showed them taking photos and videos of themselves committing the vandalism before they rode away on scooters.

Four of the six teenagers were caught by police, three of which were from Dallas, Georgia. The fourth teen was from Taylorsville.

Police charged the four with obstruction, criminal damage to property, prowling, and conspiracy. There are also hate crime charges pending.

The suspects were identified as 18-year-old Logan Matthison, 17-year-old Geami McCarroll, and 18-year-old Ahmed Mechkouri. The fourth suspect was 16 years old, and his father, Aaron Petus, was cited for failing to supervise his son.

The teens gave conflicting accounts to police, but the 16-year-old admitted to leaving his phone at home, which made police conclude that the vandalism was planned in advance.

Atlanta residents told WAGA-TV that they were shocked by the incident.

“This is a really open and accepting community. And to come here and actively do a hate crime, during Pride Month, where, you know, everyone is supposed to feel the most safe, it feels just vulgar,” Julia Tracy said.

Kevin Bergen told WAGA that he was afraid for himself and his partner.

“It’s daunting. It’s scary for my safety, for my partner’s safety,” he said. “We live up the street, about seven doors down. There’s a lot of reasons to be scared, but, you know, being gay, now especially, we thought it was all over and all good. And now all of a sudden, it’s gotten really bad.”

Atlanta Pride also condemned the incident.

Police are searching for the other two people allegedly involved in the incident. Snitches may be eligible for a $5,000 reward.

In 2018, Tim Walz publicly praised a radical Muslim cleric named Asad Zaman — who Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says has a “despicable” history.

“I would like to, first of all, say thank you to Imam. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it,” Walz says on video. “Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding, listening today to the stories and what it means.”

While the Harris-Walz campaign had previously jumped in to deny the relationship, claiming the pair did not have a personal relationship and that Walz “condemns” Hamas terrorism, Glenn isn’t buying it.

“Why don’t they want him connected to Zaman?” Glenn asks. “Maybe it is because he has posted official Hamas press releases, or perhaps it’s because he’s linked to a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told,’ so he loves the Nazis.”

“And then of course, there might be a little problem that after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, he posted on Facebook that he and his organization, quote, ‘stand in solidarity with the Palestinians against the Israeli attacks,’” Glenn continues.

Zaman is also the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, which was described in 2008 by federal prosecutors as “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”

And in 2014, the United Arab Emirates designated the Muslim American Society a terrorist group.

“Wait a minute, he’s such a fantastic teacher, and they’re a terrorist group? Wow,” Glenn says, feigning shock. “Now, Harris-Walz, the campaign, has come out through a spokesperson: ‘Walz has no relationship with Zaman.’”

“Maybe they’re not getting together for backyard barbecues or calling each other up like, ‘What are you gonna wear today? Is it a blue day?’ Maybe that’s not happening, but according to the Washington Examiner’s report, Walz has appeared at events with Zaman at least five times,” Glenn explains.

“But remember, no relationship. ‘How dare Glenn Beck say that,’” Glenn mocks, adding, “How could there be? I mean, Tim Walz, he’s a folksy, all-American Midwestern dad who happens to believe in communism.”

The number of Iranian nationals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been steadily climbing since President Trump’s strike on Iranian nuclear sites — but former immigration Judge Andrew Arthur warns it’s not going to die down anytime soon.

A press release from the Department of Homeland Security confirmations that “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 11 Iranian nationals illegally in the United States over the weekend.”

“ICE also arrested a U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran. The weekend arrests reflect the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities,” the press release continued.

“It’s important to note the fact that under the Biden administration between February 2021 and November 2024, which is the last report, we have 1,750 different Iranians were apprehended entering the United States illegally. There were more than 7,000 who were stopped at the ports of entry,” Arthur tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford.

“Those apprehensions represent a 20-fold increase over the seven-year-period prior to President Biden taking office. So we saw a huge number of Iranians come to the United States,” he continues, “but here’s the much more important danger.”

“At the same time that the Biden administration was releasing millions of aliens apprehended into the United States, 1.9 million others snuck by Border Patrol agents,” he explains, noting that Biden’s lax border policy made it “very easy for the Iranian government to sneak hundreds, thousands, of other assets into this country while the Biden administration was asleep at the switch.”

The Trump administration admitted its plan for accused gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia at an online hearing to decide his fate.

On Thursday, Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn said that the administration was still going to deport Garcia, but to a “third country” that is not El Salvador.

‘If this Court does not act swiftly, then the Government is likely to whisk Abrego Garcia away.’

Garcia had been deported to the infamous prison for terrorists in El Salvador by the administration, but an order from the Supreme Court precipitated his return. The government then had him indicted on smuggling charges and vowed that he would not be set free on U.S. streets.

Guynn told U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in a conference call with Garcia’s attorneys that the government had “no imminent plans” to deport the man and would comply with all court orders.

Garcia’s attorneys are requesting that Xinis order the government to transport him to Maryland after his release from a jail in Tennessee. The request is intended to prevent the government from deporting him immediately upon release.

“We have concerns that the government may try to remove Mr. Abrego Garcia quickly over the weekend, something like that,” said lawyer Jonathan Cooper.

“We do plan to comply with the orders we’ve received from this court and other courts,” said Guynn. “But there’s no timeline for these specific proceedings.”

Xinis said she could not rule on the request before considering the administration’s motions to dismiss the case, so she scheduled a hearing for July 7.

A separate judge in Nashville, Tennessee, ruled that Garcia should be released while awaiting trial, after finding that the government had not presented enough evidence to rule him a flight risk or a threat to the community.

“If this Court does not act swiftly, then the Government is likely to whisk Abrego Garcia away to some place far from Maryland,” his attorneys wrote to Xinis.

Garcia has denied the allegations made by the government that he is a member of the heinous MS-13 gang.

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota and the state’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz over a program meant to provide financial aid to illegal aliens seeking to pursue higher education.

The DOJ was able to halt a plan to help illegal aliens study in Texas with a threat of a lawsuit, and they have also followed through with a similar lawsuit in Kentucky.

‘We look forward to taking this fight to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first.’

“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement about the Minnesota lawsuit.

“The Department of Justice just won on this exact issue in Texas, and we look forward to taking this fight to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first,” she added.

Illegal aliens in Minnesota can qualify for in-state tuition rates and state financial aid as a result of the Minnesota Dream Act, which was passed in 2013 under a different Democrat governor, according to Politico.

The lawsuit alleges that the state is discriminating against U.S. citizens.

“The magnitude of this discrimination against U.S. citizens is substantial,” reads a statement from the DOJ. “The cost of tuition for resident students is significantly lower than for U.S. citizens that are not in-state residents.”

The lawsuit also names the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison as defendants.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order in April directing federal officials to identify “laws, regulations, policies, and practices” that favor illegal aliens over citizens and end them.

Walz was the vice presidential candidate on the Democrat’s failed presidential ticket in the 2024 election. He has since said that the country was not ready for his positive message.
