The Most MAGA Pick to Replace Mike Waltz at NSA | The Mandate | 5/1/25

Blaze News Tonight

BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson discuss Mike Waltz’s resignation as national security adviser and President Trump’s nomination of Waltz as the next U.N. ambassador; Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s publication of internal emails from anti-Trump FBI agents who planned the indictment of Peter Navarro; National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett’s update on the progress the Trump administration is making with China; and Trump’s agreement with Ukraine to establish a reconstruction investment fund. Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford discusses his appearance at the White House press room and Stephen Miller’s attack on DEI. J. Michael Waller, senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, weighs in on Mike Waltz’s departure as national security adviser. Finally, Jill and Matthew poll the audience on whether they think Stephen Miller and the Trump administration will transform the media landscape by the end of Trump’s term and if he can successfully remove CRT from the education system.
