Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas has declared a “mental health crisis” in America because of Donald Trump — but what she doesn’t appear to understand is that while there is a mental health crisis, it has very little to do with the president.

“I would say that the fact that Jasmine Crockett got elected shows she’s correct,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

But Crockett’s own election isn’t the only major indicator of a mental health crisis in this country. A much bigger one is what just occurred at the Oregon State Capitol, where two men dressed as women performed a drag show in front of state representatives.

“They’re all kind of just sitting out there, awkwardly trying to decipher what the appropriate reaction is to this,” Burguiere says. “By the way, the answer is to walk out.”

“Oregon, what are your elected officials doing? I mean, if you want to go to a drag show, that’s fine, but why in the middle of the workday in the House of Representatives?” Glenn agrees.

However, does a recent drop in corporate advertising for Pride signal an end to the mental health crisis plaguing the country?

A recent opinion piece in the New York Times details the significant loss of funds Pride parades are facing after large corporations have stopped supporting them.

“Consider BarkBox, a purveyor of pet toys and treats, whose leaked internal message in early June laid bare the new corporate zeitgeist: ‘We’ve made the decision to pause all paid ads and life cycle marketing pushes for the Pride kit effective immediately. We need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people,’” reads the article, titled “We’ve Reached Rainbow Capitalism’s End.”

“Now, I don’t know if ‘dog people’ means the people who own dogs or people who identify as dogs. I could honestly go either way on that one,” Stu comments. “These are just capitalist decisions. They’re not decisions saying, ‘Hey, we agree that, you know, mutilating your child is a bad idea.’”

President Donald Trump shocked the world on Monday when he announced that Iran and Israel had agreed on a ceasefire in the war that has rocked the Middle East.

The president said that the war should be called “the 12 Day War,” in an announcement posted on social media.

‘This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!’

“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” he wrote.

He said that Iran will begin the ceasefire, and 12 hours later Israel will join the ceasefire.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, ‘THE 12 DAY WAR.’ This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!” he continued.

“God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” he added.

The message did not say anything about whether Iran had agreed to any concessions about a nuclear enrichment program.

Very soon afterward, Vice President JD Vance confirmed the agreement in an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.

“We were actually working on that just as I left the White House to come over here, so that’s good news that the president was able to get that across the finish line,” Vance said. “I think what it means, Bret, is quite simple. First of all, the president — without, knock on wood, having a single American casualty — obliterated the Iranian nuclear program.”

— (@)

“We are now in a place where we weren’t a week ago. A week ago, Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now, Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it,” Vance continued.

“So that’s a very, very big thing,” he added. “Now, what that means, I think, is, we have to talk to Iran and of course to Israel about what the future holds, because while we have obliterated the Iranian nuclear program, our hope and our expectation is that they’re not gonna try to rebuild that program.”

He went on to say that the president’s goal was to obtain a “long-term settlement” that would secure “peace in the region.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has announced the end of an Obama-era program that involved spying on U.S. citizens — and cost those citizens hundreds of millions in tax dollars a year.

“Today I’m announcing that TSA is ending the Quiet Skies program, which involved having a federal agent follow U.S. citizens as they traveled by air. It was created by Obama in 2012 to supposedly track dangerous individuals, but instead it was weaponized against political enemies such as Tulsi Gabbard,” Noem said in a video posted to social media.

“Since its existence, it has failed to stop a single terrorist attack, while it cost U.S. taxpayers roughly about $200 million a year,” she added.

Independent journalist Breanna Morello has been on the frontlines of breaking this story and has uncovered just how American citizens would end up on these lists.

“What they used is a program called Evade, which was another Obama program that was started. And what they did is they used Evade to add people to the TSA terror watch list,” Morello tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“Evade was a private-sector company that was going out there looking at your social media posts,” Morello continues. “The reality of it is everyone I found who’s on these lists are all conservative.”

“So they intentionally went above and beyond to target people. Now, Tulsi Gabbard, the following day after she criticized Kamala Harris, was added to that terror watch list,” she adds.

Morello also explains that hundreds of Americans, including those who attended the January 6 rally, were added to the same watch list.

“For years, they were followed by air marshals, they were stalked by TSA, they went through additional groping that they didn’t have to go through,” she tells Gonzales. “But again, the TSA is not an investigative agency.”

This is why the TSA hired a private-sector company to do the work for them.

“So, chances are if you ever had a little four S’s on the bottom of your boarding pass and then you went through additional screening processes after already going through TSA, you were probably on the list, and you’re probably being followed by air marshals without knowing it,” Morello explains.

“So they’re just intentionally finding a loophole and subverting it,” Gonzales comments.

“And that loophole is a private-sector company, yes,” Morello responds.

On June 21, 2025, the United States launched a military mission dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan to dismantle Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities and block its path to nuclear weapons. This marked the U.S.’ first direct engagement amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The U.S. deployed 125 aircraft, including seven B-2 stealth bombers that unleashed 14 GBU-57 “bunker-buster” bombs on Fordow, alongside over two dozen Tomahawk missiles striking Isfahan. In a White House address, President Trump hailed the operation as a “spectacular military success.”

And Mark Levin agrees. “What Donald Trump did as commander in chief is remarkable,” he says.

“It’s not just that he had the courage to order the attack on the Islamo-Nazi Iranian nuclear sites, but look how it came off,” he adds, referring to how all U.S. military equipment, including the seven B-2 bombers and other aircraft involved in Operation Midnight Hammer, along with American personnel, returned safely to their bases with no reported damage or casualties.

“This is what we should be used to — that is, a commander-in-chief, not an interventionist,” who “knows when and how to use the United States military … the most massive and powerful fighting machine on the face of the earth, ready to take action as needed, in any environment, against any enemy, in any way,” says Levin. “We should be cheering this.”

He looks back to how former President Bill Clinton was naive enough to give North Korea “billions and billions of dollars to feed their people” when right under his nose, the communist nation was building “a nuclear missile.” Obama was hardly better. His administration appeased Iran’s “Islamo-Nazi” regime with a nuclear deal that was overly lenient, allowing the terrorist nation to pursue nuclear weapons.

In 2018, Donald Trump set America back on the right path when he “ripped [Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] up” and put “the Iranian regime on its back.” Unfortunately, Biden then reversed course, reinstating Obama’s flawed JCPOA approach, surrounding himself with the same advisers, and providing Iran with billions in funds.

“And so Donald Trump comes in again — thank God, thanks to you — and he says, ‘Wait a minute, these guys are gonna have a nuclear weapon,”’ says Levin, noting that this threat was confirmed by intelligence and the IAEA. “And Donald Trump says … ‘I know there are people in our country that are isolationists; I know there are people in our country who claim to speak for MAGA and don’t. I, Donald Trump, I’m MAGA; I speak for MAGA, and MAGA doesn’t believe in suicide.”’

“And then he orders this in coordination with the Israelis,” says Levin, calling Operation Midnight Hammer “absolutely fantastic.”

To all those who are now drowning in “what if” questions about how Iran will respond, he says the far more important question is: “What if we didn’t stop Iran and they had nuclear weapons?”

“The fact is the enemy itself remains: It is Islamo-Nazi terrorism … wherever it is,” Levin insists. “They want to kill us; they’ve been wanting to kill us since long before the other day when we hit those sites … and they’re going to continue to try and kill us.”

The “Islamo-Nazi mindset,” he says, is “kill the Jews, kill the Christians, kill Muslims who don’t agree with us, kill the Hindus, kill the Buddhists, kill the West, kill the Americans — kill until we control the world.” This bloodthirsty mentality is deeply entrenched in religious creed, and so it will never go away. Operation Midnight Hammer “doesn’t change” Iran’s bent toward terrorism, but what it did accomplish is to remove its capacity to inflict it.

“The enemy is still there, but this particular element of the enemy and this particular program of the enemy has been destroyed,” says Levin.

On June 21, the U.S. military conducted strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — in an operation code-named Midnight Hammer, which was aimed at destroying Iran’s nuclear enrichment program and preventing the Islamic nation from developing nuclear weapons. The strikes, which marked the first time America has been directly involved amid the Israel-Iran conflict, involved 125 aircraft, including seven B-2 stealth bombers dropping 14 GBU-57 “bunker-buster” bombs on Fordow and over two dozen Tomahawk missiles targeting Isfahan. President Trump called the mission a “spectacular military success” in his televised address from the White House.

Naturally, however, Americans are wondering what comes next. How will Iran respond? What does the future hold for the United States?

Monday morning on “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn broke it all down and explained the possibilities for the future.

“Hopefully this is a one-and-done strike, like it was when President Trump took out Soleimani during his first term,” but there’s also the possibility that we get “more involved,” says Glenn.

“What we cannot have is another prolonged military fiasco in the Middle East. We cannot have American boots on the ground, and I know President Trump, and I know he doesn’t want that either,” he explains.

However, it all depends on what Iran does next. Two possibilities scare Glenn: Iran might “begin targeting U.S. forces on the ground all over the Middle East,” or “the Iranian-backed terrorists [might] begin attacking us right here in the U.S.” Or perhaps the nation will play “the big ace up their sleeve” and close the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil choke point. Glenn notes that Iran’s parliament has approved a measure to close the strait in retaliation for U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities, but the final decision rests with the Supreme National Security Council and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

If the latter happens and the Strait of Hormuz is indeed closed, “we will see a spike in our oil prices somewhere between $120 and $150 a barrel,” possibly even “as high as $200 a barrel,” Glenn warns, calling such a price increase “a very, very bad knockout punch” to the global economy, which is essentially being held together by “chewing gum and duct tape.”

There’s also the possibility that the Iranian regime could “crumble and fall apart” and “the people rise up,” but that is looking more and more unlikely, as reports indicate that Iran’s “religious police” — one of the “most brutal police forces out there” — are roaming the streets in great numbers, arresting civilians, ordering people to stay in their homes, monitoring phones, and checking cars.

“Over the weekend, at least 100 religious dissidents have already been executed, called spies for Israel,” says Glenn.

One of the most “disturbing developments,” he says, is the fact that both China and Russia have condemned the United States for the strikes. “I read this morning that one of the top officials from Iran is going to Russia today to meet with Putin,” meaning “their alliance is not being deterred.”

Right now, nothing is certain, says Glenn. “Our future is complicated. … It will either be an amazing success or lead us toward a very dark future.”

However, to those “blaming Donald Trump” for the uncertainty of America’s future, Glenn says, “you can blame every president since 2000.” Trump’s presidential predecessors “have always said that they would never allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb. President Trump is just the first one to not send them a pallet of cash to try to bribe them.”

Operation Midnight Hammer was “decisive, bold, and courageous action. Now let’s prepare for fire and pray, pray, pray for peace.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security vowed never to allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia to “go free on American soil,” after a judge ordered his release from detention pending an immigration trial.

The fight over the fate of the accused gang member who had been living in Maryland has come to symbolize the opposition of Democrats to the mass deportation efforts of the Trump administration.

‘We have said it for months and it remains true to this day: he will never go free on American soil.’

On Sunday, the Trump administration was dealt a blow in that struggle when U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled that the government had not proven its contention that Garcia was a flight risk and ordered his release.

“Overall, the Court cannot find from the evidence presented that Abrego Garcia’s release clearly and convincingly poses an irremediable danger to other persons or to the community,” she added.

Holmes, however, acknowledged that the ruling was “little more than an academic exercise” because Garcia would likely be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin appeared to confirm Holmes’ suspicions in a response to the ruling.

“Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien. We have said it for months and it remains true to this day: he will never go free on American soil,” she wrote on the X social media platform.

Garcia was initially deported to the infamous prison in El Salvador for terrorists, but a campaign by Democrats and court challenges led the Trump administration to bring him back to the U.S. Then the Justice Dept. immediately filed far more serious charges against him related to an alleged human-trafficking ring.

He has pleaded not guilty to the new smuggling charges, and his attorneys argued that they were merely an attempt to justify his deportation after the fact.

Holmes scheduled a hearing on Wednesday to determine the conditions of his release, but the government has already filed a motion to appeal the order.

Supporters of Trump’s mass deportation plans have argued that it is simply too onerous a demand to provide due process to the millions, and possibly tens of millions, of illegal aliens who are present in the U.S.

“The Trump administration is very invested in making this a referendum on the immigration debate, which, as you know, has become coarsened and polarized,” said Chris Newman, an attorney for the Garcia family. “I view this as a core constitutional order case, a core due process case.”

President Donald Trump personally weighed in on the debate in April when he released a photograph of himself holding an image of tattoos on Garcia’s knuckles that allegedly symbolized his membership in MS-13, a heinous criminal gang.

The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily granted the Trump administration a victory in the president’s efforts to deport millions of illegal aliens from the U.S.

In a ruling of 6 to 3, the highest court of the land said the administration could restart deportations of illegal aliens to countries that were not their origin. The three liberal justices dissented.

Judge Murphy had also said the government needed to give migrants written notice about where they were going to be deported.

The emergency request against a lower court order had been issued to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who referred it to the full court. Jackson issued a scathing dissent after the ruling from the court.

The Trump administration had argued that Judge Brian Murphy of the District Court in Massachusetts had overreached the court’s authority when he ruled that the government needed to provide migrants with an opportunity to challenge deportation on the basis that they might be tortured if sent to other countries. Judge Murphy had also said the government needed to give migrants written notice about where they were going to be deported.

The judge had acknowledged the criminal histories of the migrants in question but argued that the administration was still required by law to provide them with due process.

“In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution. In this case, the Government took the opposite approach,” wrote Brown Jackson in her dissent.

“It wrongfully deported one plaintiff to Guatemala, even though an Immigration Judge found he was likely to face torture there. Then, in clear violation of a court order, it deported six more to South Sudan, a nation the State Department considers too unsafe for all but its most critical personnel. An attentive District Court’s timely intervention only narrowly prevented a third set of unlawful removals to Libya,” she explained.

“I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion,” Brown Jackson added.

As the Trump administration continues its mission to enforce our nation’s laws and deport illegal aliens, violent resistance is becoming far more commonplace. However, many media outlets continue to report only part of the story to paint illegal aliens and their supporters in a better light than some deserve.

On Saturday, a Santa Ana suspect, identified as Narciso Barranco by his family, reportedly violently resisted arrest by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

‘Law enforcement is now facing a 500% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations. But this will not deter CBP.’

One of the sons of the suspect told KTLA-TV that Barranco was “picked up by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at the IHOP on Edinger Avenue and Ritchey Street.”

KTLA described the allegedly violent suspect as a “victim” and emphasized his role as a “father.”

KTLA also implied that the U.S. Border Patrol agents were not acting legitimately, saying, “Seven or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a father in Santa Ana before forcing him into the back of an unmarked car on Saturday.”

The video that KTLA included in its post apparently cuts out the beginning of the incident, in which the suspect is seen wielding a weed whacker and running from the agents as they attempt to detain him. Watch the full video above.

“On June 21, Border Patrol agents arrested an illegal alien who tried to evade law enforcement. The illegal alien ran, then turned and swung a weed whacker directly at an agent’s face. He then fled through a busy intersection and raised the weed whacker again at the agent. The illegal alien refused to comply every step of the way — resisting commands, fighting handcuffs, and refusing to identify himself,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Blaze News.

The DHS spokesperson also said: “Reports that officers dislocated his shoulder are FALSE. He was offered medical care, which he declined.” The office confirmed that the suspect is now in ICE custody.

On X, the DHS account replied to KTLA’s post regarding this incident, calling the outlet’s coverage a “completely slanted portrayal”: “He ASSAULTED federal law enforcement with a WEED WHACKER. Perhaps the mainstream media would like our officers to stand there and be mowed down instead of defending themselves?”

DHS reaffirmed its commitment to continuing deportations, despite a rising rate of violent resistance. “Law enforcement is now facing a 500% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations. But this will not deter CBP — we will continue enforcing the law and protecting American communities.”

A GoFundMe page was started to raise funds for the suspect’s legal counsel. It describes the suspect as a “good, hard working man” who has “raised his family here and has established himself here.”

The GoFundMe page alleges that he was “pepper sprayed and punched in the face multiple times by these masked and unidentified ‘officers.'” It has raised over $95,000 since its launch on Saturday.

KTLA was contacted but did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
