Last Sunday morning, after 34 years of service, Spirit Airlines announced it’s shutting down operations effective immediately after failing to secure a $500 million government bailout amid financial struggles and high fuel costs. All flights are canceled, passengers are stranded and seeking refunds/rebookings, and thousands of people are out of a job.

BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau were not surprised to hear the news.

But Stu says pricey jet fuel isn’t why the company collapsed. “There’s been a lot of things that have caused the problems … for Spirit Airlines over the years,” he says.

The hosts then play a humorous video montage of Spirit Airlines’ lowlights, which include several passenger fights, a Spirit Airlines employee angrily yelling vulgar insults at a co-worker, and a baggage handler violently throwing passengers’ suitcases.

All jokes aside, the collapse of Spirit Airlines is bad news for everybody — even people who never flew with the airline.

“The best thing about Spirit was not necessarily flying Spirit; it was the competition of Spirit’s prices,” says Stu. “Other airlines had to deal with them, and if they kept prices too high, people would say, ‘Well, you know, Spirit might not be the best airline in the world, but I’m going to take that because I’m saving so much money.’ These other airlines can now be like, ‘Well, we can let prices slide up.”’

“It’s already going up,” says Dave, noting that he flies constantly for his comedy tours.

“I want to know where the points are going. I had a lot of Spirit points. You think they’ll put them back on my EBT card?” he jokes.

Stu says that according to the sources he’s been listening to, people who booked flights with Spirit points are essentially out of luck.

“If you booked stuff with points, you’re basically wiped out. You can put in a claim … for bankruptcy proceedings to get value for your points. You’ll be at the very bottom of the list of people getting stuff back,” he explains.

Some people may have to kiss traveling goodbye altogether.

“A lot of people who the only way they could go on vacation is fly a Spirit Airlines … now they won’t be able to go,” says Stu. “There’s a lot of negatives here.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) apparently agrees.

In response to the news of Spirit’s shutdown, she wrote, “The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market. Fewer choices = higher prices for you.”

“Elizabeth Warren’s upset because she’s always upset. Everything that’s happened is somehow a personal affront to her. And it’s always capitalism’s fault every single time,” says Stu.

“Four airlines splitting 75% … is not a monopoly,” he corrects.

“That would be the opposite of a monopoly. That would be a competing market,” quips Dave.

But Warren’s faulty economics isn’t Stu and Dave’s biggest issue with her. In 2024, Warren strongly supported blocking the JetBlue-Spirit merger that many critics say would have saved the airline.

“The reason why Spirit doesn’t exist is Elizabeth Warren!” exclaims Stu.

Denver has for decades impinged upon the Second Amendment rights of its residents.

Since 1989, the city has had a so-called “assault weapons” law on the books that now prohibits the carriage, storage, possession, manufacture, and sale of “any semiautomatic pistol or centerfire rifle, either of which have a fixed or detachable magazine with a capacity of more than fifteen rounds” and “any semiautomatic shotgun with a folding stock or a magazine capacity of more than six rounds.”

‘The Constitution is not a suggestion.’

According to Denver’s Code of Ordinances, the city council that initially advanced the ban determined that the use of “assault weapons poses a threat to the health, safety and security of all citizens” in the city and that restrictions on law-abiding Americans’ access to such firearms were both “reasonable and necessary.”

The Trump Justice Department demanded in a letter last week that the city repeal the ban, underscoring that it is unconstitutional. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division said that failure to comply would likely trigger a lawsuit.

On Monday, the city’s attorney, Miko Brown, wrote back to Dhillon, calling the request “baseless, irresponsible, and a clear overreach of the federal government’s power.”

Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston chimed in, characterizing the DOJ’s effort to restore Denverites’ rights as intimidation and claiming that the ban “has stood for 37 years because it works, it saves lives, and it reflects the values of our community.”

Democrat Councilwoman Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez joined the chorus of fearmongerers, stating both that the Trump administration was trying to deprive students and families of critical “protections” and that “assault weapons take lives — that’s what they’re made for.”

On Tuesday, the DOJ filed a lawsuit with the stated intention of vindicating “the rights of Denver citizens whose rights have been — and are continuing to be — violated.”

“The Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. “Denver’s ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles directly violates the right to bear arms.”

Citing the standard for applying the Second Amendment outlined in the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, the government’s complaint asserts that the “Ordinance is presumptively unconstitutional” and that the City of Denver “will not be able to rebut this presumption.”

After noting that the Second Amendment protects firearms “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes that are in ‘common use’ today” — a protection affirmed by the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller — the complaint explains that there are at least 28 million AR-style semiautomatic rifles presently in circulation and tens of millions of law-abiding AR-style-rifle owners in the country.

In addition to the numerousness and common use of such weapons, the DOJ’s complaint shreds the notion that AR-15-type rifles are the go-to choice for criminals.

When making this point, the DOJ highlighted FBI data showing that whereas there were 364 homicides known to have been committed with rifles of any type in 2019, 6,368 homicides were committed with handguns, 1,476 were committed with knives or other cutting instruments, 600 were committed with hands and feet, and 397 were committed with blunt objects.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division stated, “Law-abiding Americans, regardless of what city or state they reside in, should not have to live under threat of criminal sanction just for exercising their Second Amendment right to possess arms which are owned by tens of millions of their fellow citizens.”

Indiana’s May 5 primary election tested President Donald Trump’s influence after he endorsed several state Senate candidates seeking to unseat Republican incumbents who had previously broken ranks with him by opposing a redistricting map.

At least six out of the eight Indiana Senate challengers endorsed by Trump won their respective primary elections on Tuesday, most with significant leads.

A ‘big night for MAGA in Indiana.’

Twenty-one GOP state senators voted with their Democrat colleagues in December to block a new congressional map that would have created two more Republican-leaning districts and potentially strengthened the GOP’s control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The effort failed in a 31-19 vote, despite Trump’s warnings that he would target Republicans in the upcoming primary election who voted against it.

Republicans who voted against the redistricting effort and who were seeking re-election in the May primary included:

James Buck (District 21)Spencer Deery (District 23)Dan Dernulc (District 1)Greg Goode (District 38)Travis Holdman (District 19)Rick Niemeyer (District 6)Linda Rogers (District 11)Greg Walker (District 41)

Republican state Senators Eric Bassler (District 39) and Kyle Walker (District 31) also voted against the redistricting map. However, neither is seeking re-election.

Trump issued a wave of endorsements for eight of the races.

“Good luck to those Great Indiana Senate Candidates who are running against people who couldn’t care less about our Country, or about keeping the Majority in Congress. There are eight Great Patriots running against long seated RINOS — Let’s see how those RINOS do tonight!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Primary Election Day.

Indian polls closed at 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday, and early results began rolling in shortly after.

Trump-backed Blake Fiechter took an early lead over incumbent Holdman for District 19, prompting several outlets to call the race less than two hours after polls had closed.

Buck, from District 21, was unseated by Tracey Powell, another Trump-backed candidate.

Michelle Davis, who received the president’s support, defeated Walker in District 41.

Trump challenger Trevor De Vries beat incumbent Dernulc in District 1.

Dr. Brian Schmutzler, another Trump pick, scored a victory against Rogers in District 11.

Trump-backed Jeff Ellington secured Bassler’s open seat in District 39.

Trump’s pick for District 38, Brenda Wilson, lost to incumbent Goode. The race for District 23 between Deery and the Trump-backed challenger, Paula Copenhaver, is too close to call as of Wednesday morning.

U.S. Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) called it a “big night for MAGA in Indiana.”

Eric Daugherty of Florida’s Voice celebrated the results, declaring that the “RINO reign” was “coming to an end.” He noted that Goode’s win over Wilson was “one of VERY few wins these traitor RINOs will get tonight!”

Ohioans went to the polls on Tuesday in what has arguably become one of the highest-profile primaries in the country ahead of the midterm elections later this year.

The closest-watched Republican primary, of course, was for Ohio governor, and the winner will go on to face an unopposed Democratic candidate in November.

With over 98% of the votes counted, Ramaswamy had received 82.5% to Putsch’s 17.5%.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate, biotech entrepreneur, and former presidential candidate, faced off against “America First” candidate Casey Putsch, who has positioned himself as a “third option” against the two choices provided by the political establishment.

Ramaswamy, the favorite in recent polling, was able to beat Putsch for the GOP nomination. With over 98% of the votes counted, Ramaswamy had received 82.5% to Putsch’s 17.5%.

After the race was called, Ramaswamy pledged not just to make “Ohio great again, but to make Ohio greater than we have ever been before.”

Putsch told his voters on Tuesday morning, “Get out there Ohio, and don’t let anyone Putsch you around,” but did not post on X after the election.

Ramaswamy will go on to face unopposed Democratic candidate Amy Acton in November. Acton has been criticized for her former role as the director of the Ohio Department of Health during the early COVID-19 pandemic response, earning the nickname “Dr. Lockdown.”

Another contentious race has been raging as well.

Ohio Republican leadership is attempting to secure a 7-0 court on the state Supreme Court with a four-way challenge against Democrat Justice Jennifer Brunner.

Ninth District Court of Appeals Judge Jill Flagg Lanzinger, former Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Colleen O’Donnell, 5th District Court of Appeals Judge Andrew King, and 2nd District Court of Appeals Judge Ronald Lewis were the four Republican rivals competing in this week’s primary.

As of Wednesday morning, O’Donnell holds a lead, but the race is still too close to call.

U.S. House GOP candidates in Ohio won more than half of their primary races uncontested, while Democrats had three uncontested primary races.

While the criminal case against the man accused of murdering Iryna Zarutska proceeds through the federal court system, one attorney representing the defendant is also running for office — as a Democrat.

On September 25, just over a month after Zarutska was brutally slain on a North Carolina subway, Joshua Snow Kendrick was appointed to be “learned counsel” to the man accused of murdering her: Decarlos Brown Jr. Kendrick was added to the defense team, U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Rodriguez wrote, because defendants in capital cases have the right to an attorney who is “sufficiently experienced in providing representation in death penalty eligible offenses.”

Thus far, Kendrick has released few details about his platform.

The appointment has kept Kendrick busy. He has filed motion and after motion on behalf of Brown, including two motions in January to prevent the release of police bodycam video and other evidence to the media.

Yet Kendrick has still found time to launch a political campaign for the state House of South Carolina. Election records confirm that on March 26, Kendrick filed to run as a Democrat for South Carolina House District 22.

The email address that Kendrick included in his filing is the same email address listed on some of the motions filed in Brown’s capital murder case.

Kendrick did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

The deadline to file to run for office in South Carolina this year has already passed, so Kendrick is set to sail through the Democratic primary on June 9 unopposed. But if incumbent state Rep. Paul Wickensimer can prevail in the Republican primary, he will be a formidable opponent for Kendrick come November.

District 22 is located just outside downtown Greenville and is considered solidly Republican. Wickensimer defeated his Democratic opponent by a decisive 60%-39.8% margin in 2024, and a Republican has held the seat since at least 2012, according to Ballotpedia.

Ballotpedia and BallotReady pages for Kendrick list only the 2026 South Carolina House District 22 race, suggesting he has never run for political office until now.

Thus far, Kendrick has released few details about his platform.

His ActBlue donation page reads:

Chip in today to support me for South Carolina House of Representatives. I am running to give you a voice in your government. It’s time to stop being ignored by our elected officials.

The website for the South Carolina Democratic Party lists Kendrick as the Democratic candidate for District 22 but otherwise gives no information about him. The party did not respond to a request for comment.

Decarlos Brown was declared mentally incompetent in the state case against him but still faces a federal charge of one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system. If convicted, he could receive the death penalty.

Ranked as the most popular digital payment service on the planet, Apple Pay is trusted by 785 million users to carry out both online and in-store transactions worldwide. Today, it accounts for 14.2% of all payments made online, with user adoption expected to climb through 2030, but should users trust it? A new bombshell revelation proves that Apple Pay is vulnerable to unauthorized transactions, and it has been broken for half a decade, with no software patch in sight.

The Apple Pay heist of the century

In mid-April, popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) met with a researcher at Veritasium to conduct an experiment. The goal? To steal $10,000 from Marques’ Apple Pay account without his authorization — no password authentication, no FaceID detection, nothing.

The entire process takes less than 10 seconds.

The heist was pulled off using nothing but a MacBook, a burner phone, a wireless NFC reader called a Proxmark, and Marques’ iPhone, which was locked, secured, and seemingly impenetrable by Apple’s security standards.

Yet, as you can see in the live demonstration, Veritasium did the impossible. They initiated a transaction that successfully moved $10,000 out of Marques’ iPhone and into Veritasium’s account, much to the surprise of MKBHD himself.

How to steal $10,000 from Apple Pay

Later in the video, Veritasium explains how the flaw works.

First, the target iPhone must sit atop the Proxmark (the wireless NFC reader), which acts as a middleman between the target iPhone and the actual card reader. The Proxmark tricks the iPhone into thinking it is talking to a typical card reader — the same kind you tap with your phone or card at a grocery store — and requests the amount of money set by the hacker, in this case $10,000. The iPhone recognizes the request and sends the transaction data over to be processed on the connected MacBook, which then sends the data to a nearby burner phone that serves as the payment recipient device. The transaction is automatically verified through Apple’s Express Mode (which doesn’t require user authentication), and the payment is complete, removing the money from the target iPhone sitting on the reader and putting it into the hands of the hacker.

Although there are several steps involved, the entire process takes less than 10 seconds, or about as long as it would take to issue a legitimate wireless payment at a store with Apple Pay.

The shocking part? This major Apple Pay flaw was originally found all the way back in 2021, and there is still currently no remediation in place. Every iPhone with Apple Pay enabled is potentially vulnerable, and a hacker could theoretically steal the entire debit card sum or credit card limit of the main card in your Apple Wallet.

Are you at risk?

There are several important factors to determine whether you are in any danger of NFC-related theft.

First and foremost, the hack detailed in the video only works on Apple Pay. That means if you own an Android device, you are safe. Google Pay and/or Samsung Pay are not affected by this exploit.

If you own an iPhone, there is one more factor that will determine your risk. The hack requires you to have a Visa credit or debit card set as the default card in your wallet. It will not work if payments default to a Mastercard!

How to protect yourself from this Apple Pay exploit

To change your default card, open the Wallet app, hold your finger on the card you want to set, and drag it to the bottom of the card stack until you see the full face of the card displayed. To remove a card, tap on the card, then select the three dots in the top right corner, followed by “Card Details.” Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Remove Card” to wipe it from your phone.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Apple Wallet on iOS 26

Since this bug has existed for half a decade, chances that Apple will patch it any time soon are slim. However, MKBHD is highly respected in the tech community, and his new high-profile coverage of the exploit may be enough to get Apple’s attention for a future fix.

Until then, you can keep yourself safe simply by tweaking your default card settings or removing your cards altogether.

An armed dad of a family of eight was forced to shoot a man who tried to drive away with his car while his family members were still in the backseat, according to Texas police.

The harrowing incident unfolded on Sunday in the parking lot near Highway 66 and Dairy Road in Garland and was captured by surveillance video.

‘You could definitely tell that he was not in his right state of mind.’

Police said the would-be carjacker crashed his car into two vehicles and tried to gain access to other cars before zeroing in on the white sedan.

Video shows him in a peach shirt walking nonchalantly toward the family’s vehicle before immediately getting into a physical altercation with the father. The two struggle for about a minute before he’s able to force his way into the driver’s seat.

The father runs to the other side of the car and shoots the man still in the car.

The would-be carjacker died at a nearby hospital, and police said they are still trying to identify him.

“You could definitely tell that he was not in his right state of mind,” said Tatiana Starks, a witness who works as the manager of a smoke shop near the incident. “I’m just glad that the man was able to protect himself and his family.”

Starks said she began recording the man after seeing him trying to get into several vehicles.

“He, like, tried to get into several different cars,” she said.

Video of the incident from surveillance and Starks were included in the KDFW-TV news report.

Police said they do not expect to file charges against the father because he would not have known if the carjacker was armed at the time.

“It seemed to be self-defense,” Lt. Pedro Barineau said to KDFW. “It kind of all happened, like, really fast.”

KDFW reported that police did not recover a weapon from the attempted carjacker, only a gun from the father.

Recently, the abortion fight had a very interesting speed bump.

On May 1, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a ruling temporarily reinstating the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s older in-person dispensing rules for mifepristone, meaning the drug could no longer simply be prescribed through a telehealth visit and mailed directly to a woman’s home.

Then on May 4, Justice Samuel Alito issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking that order and restoring telehealth and mail distribution of mifepristone while the Supreme Court reviews emergency appeals from the drug manufacturers.

Much of the modern abortion machine depends not merely on legality, but on frictionless access, speed, and streamlined distribution.

Before anyone treats the Fifth Circuit as a crushing victory or the Supreme Court stay as a crushing defeat, it is worth slowing down and looking at what this short-lived legal tug-of-war actually revealed.

There is some good in this ruling, there is some bad in this ruling, and there is one ugly truth that ought to sober anyone who actually wants equal justice for the unborn.

The good

This brief legal battle exposed two facts.

First, modern chemical abortion has become dependent on administrative convenience. Mifepristone is the abortion industry’s preferred first drug in the standard two-pill abortion regimen because it makes the process cleaner, more predictable, and more efficient.

It works by blocking progesterone, the hormone necessary to sustain pregnancy, thereby beginning the death process in the womb. Twenty-four to 48 hours later, a second drug — misoprostol — is taken to induce contractions and expel the dead or dying child.

The Fifth Circuit did not stop chemical abortion by mail, but it did briefly interfere with the abortion industry’s preferred method of remotely prescribing and mailing that first drug. Even that narrow disruption was enough to trigger immediate panic, legal scrambling, and emergency appeals.

That panic shows how much of the modern abortion machine depends not merely on legality, but on frictionless access, speed, and streamlined distribution.

The second fact is just how thin these celebrated legal victories really are. Within three days, the Supreme Court had already suspended the order. So if there is any good here, it is simply that Americans got a brief glimpse at both the abortion industry’s dependence on convenience and the judiciary’s inability to do anything more than create temporary procedural turbulence.

The bad

Chemical abortion was not outlawed. Telehealth abortion was not abolished. Mail-order abortion was not damaged in any lasting or comprehensive sense.

One particular drug in the standard regimen briefly faced restored in-person dispensing requirements. That was all.

Even had the Fifth Circuit order remained in place, abortion providers were already prepared to adjust. Misoprostol can be used by itself as an abortion method. Providers can alter prescribing practices. The abortion industry has never shown itself to be incapable of adapting.

Women may still obtain abortion pills, providers may still facilitate chemical abortions, and mail-in abortion still remains. The machinery of child killing was never prohibited. One preferred cog in the machine was briefly adjusted. That is all.

The ugly

The ugliest part of this ruling is not legal, but moral. Because once again, America is being taught to celebrate procedural management in place of equal justice.

The central question before any civilized legal system should be painfully simple: Does the child in the womb possess the same right not to be intentionally killed as every other innocent human being?

Neither the Fifth Circuit ruling nor the Supreme Court stay answers yes. Neither criminalizes the act of chemical abortion, recognizes the unborn child as a rights-bearing victim, or places the mother or provider under homicide law.

This entire legal fight is over whether one preferred poison may move through one preferred channel under one preferred federal rule.

That is not equal protection.

It is the same perverse legal language America has spoken for decades: not that the child must not be killed, but that the child may be killed under approved procedural conditions while judges supervise the administrative details.

That is the ugly truth.

This week’s courtroom chaos may restrict one preferred abortion protocol on Friday and restore it on Monday, but it leaves the underlying legal fiction untouched — that some humans may still be intentionally destroyed so long as the state is satisfied with the process.

A “Sunday Funday” lakeside party went off the rails after 23 people were injured just outside Oklahoma City in a mass shooting.

According to reports, three people were in critical condition, four were listed as serious, and no arrests have been made.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock points out that the flyer for the party showed young men smoking weed — which should have served as a warning to attendees.

“At some point we have to acknowledge and admit that any time there are large groups of young black people — and by young, that may stretch all the way up to age 40 and under — that there’s going to be violence,” Whitlock says.

“And that’s a very uncomfortable thing to say, but this is the price of a matriarchal, fatherless culture — this type of chaos and violence,” he continues, showing clips of the party that were uploaded to social media.

One clip shows women bent over and twerking all over the party, while other attendees dance around them to rap music.

“We see these videos constantly. And there’s no national conversation. There’s no outrage. There’s no violence in the streets. There’s no protests. There’s no nothing,” Whitlock says. “It blows my mind.”

“If no one else wants to talk about it, we will,” he adds.

While the media constantly report on mass shootings carried out by young white men, they often ignore those that are happening much more often.

“Once a week we see one of these videos — every weekend in Chicago. I can’t ignore it, and I can’t false equivalence it and say, ‘It’s just the same as mass school shootings, and you won’t talk about that,’” Whitlock explains.

“I’m just not going to play into it,” he adds.
