SPONSOR: BLAZETV -- BlazeTV doesn’t exist without people like you, who genuinely care about preserving honest conversation in this country. You’ve seen what’s happening on the right: the gatekeeping, the approved narratives, the pressure for everyone to fall in line. That’s not who we are. We’re not bound to talking points or beholden to anyone’s agenda. We don’t have to check our convictions with a corporate sponsor before we speak. We show up with one thing: the freedom to tell the truth as we see it. And that freedom only exists because of BlazeTV subscribers. Once a year, we lower the barrier for people who want to be part of this movement, people who refuse to sit on the sidelines. Right now, for Black Friday only, you can get $40 off a BlazeTV annual subscription. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the moment. Not because of a discount, but because your subscription actually keeps independent voices alive, voices that aren’t controlled by Big Tech, advertisers, or political gatekeepers. You make it possible for us to keep fighting, creating, and telling the truth without compromise. If you believe America is still worth fighting for, this is your moment to join the fight. And if you’re already a subscriber, THANK YOU. You make all of this possible. to someone who needs a space free from filtered, “approved” opinions.
Thank you so much for watching and continuing to support the movement that we’re building together. Go to https://www.BlazeTV.com/RICK and use code BLACKFriday40 to grab our Black Friday savings while it’s still here. That’s https://www.BlazeTV.com/RICK , code BLACKFriday40. -- https://www.BlazeTV.com/RICK
