I ve been traveling with the kids all day, and I ve got a lot to cover, but here s a few highlights from the past week, including: - Marco Rubio's masterful speech laying out the Trump Doctrine in Munich, Germany - AOC's failed attempt to take credit for the president's economic and border security plan - Why the West needs to stop outsourcing and stop being complacent - And more!
00:06:26.000A lot of work taking care of poor kids.
00:06:28.000I couldn't take all five Kai with her wrist made a little bit hard.
00:06:31.000But guys, just make sure you're liking, sharing, subscribing so you never miss one of these major episodes.

00:06:58.000And of course, don't forget about our brave sponsors for having the guts to support this program, including our friends over at All Family Pharmacy.
00:07:09.000If you've been thinking about Stomp stocking up on medication, this is your chance.
00:07:14.000All Family Pharmacy is running a huge president's sale with 47% off, 47% off medications everyone is asking about.
00:07:24.000Ivermectin, NAD, hydroxychloroquine, and so much more.
00:07:30.000You know, the stuff that actually helps you.
00:07:32.000Built for people who want to stay prepared and stay ahead before anyone gets sick in the house.
00:09:20.000America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.
00:09:29.000We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history.
00:09:38.000What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed our societies is not just a set of bad policies, but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency.
00:09:49.000An alliance is what the alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into inaction by fear, fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology.
00:09:58.000Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future.
00:10:02.000Rubio stood up in front of the entire European establishment and delivered a much-needed reality check about why the West matters and why we're not just going to sit back and let it all crumble.
00:10:15.000He talked about how historically America and Europe share not just military and economic ties, but a spiritual and cultural connection rooted in Western civilization.
00:10:25.000He called on European leaders to stop being complacent, to rebuild their militaries, to stop outsourcing their security, and to reject the managed decline of the West.
00:10:38.000Because we don't want weak allies, guys.
00:10:40.000We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great civilization and we are willing to defend it.
00:10:52.000Part of one civilization, Western civilization.
00:10:57.000We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.
00:11:18.000And so this is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our council.
00:11:27.000This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.
00:11:33.000The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply.
00:11:38.000We care deeply about your future and ours.
00:11:42.000And if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which we are connected.
00:11:51.000Not just economically, not just militarily.
00:11:55.000We are connected spiritually and we are connected culturally.
00:12:05.000Because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history's constant reminder that ultimately our destiny is and will always be intertwined with yours.
00:12:20.000Rubio called for a reinvigorated alliance that boldly races into the future, not one paralyzed by the fear of climate change, fear of war and fear of technology.
00:12:30.000We talked about this all the time on the show, guys.
00:12:34.000Europe is going the way of open borders and censorship while lecturing us that climate change is the real threat and that the mindset will never lead to prosperity, okay?
00:12:46.000It's just not going to happen if they think that way.
00:12:51.000It's just insane, but so is so much coming out of there.
00:12:55.000And honestly, the fact that we listen to Europe about anything at this point is simply mind-boggling.
00:13:01.000They are committing civilizational suicide through suicidal empathy, and it's not a recipe for success.
00:13:08.000Just look at this story out of the Netherlands, where a criminal alien let into the country under their amnesty program literally butchered his girlfriend because he claimed she was paying too much attention to her newborn baby.
00:13:24.000You know, all those things, paying too much attention to a newborn baby, and not enough to him.
00:13:30.000So much so that he stabbed her nearly 300 times.
00:15:29.000Because American leadership under this administration is the complete opposite of the apology tours of the past.
00:15:36.000Remember when Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and others would basically say, America should be more like Europe and apologize for offering or offending anyone and everyone.
00:15:51.000We're delivering results and we're seeing the results every single day.
00:15:57.000I mean, just look at the border where it's as secure as ever, not because of a bunch of new laws or bureaucrats, but simply because of a new president, someone who's willing and able to enforce the existing laws on the books.
00:16:13.000In fact, last week on Capitol Hill, this line of questioning from Senator Bernie Marino, a great friend of the show, made this as clear as ever, and it perfectly encapsulates what we've been saying for years.
00:16:28.000Laws were changed in the last 12 months that made it so that we went from the most open border in American history, hundreds of thousands of people coming to this country illegally every month to virtually zero.
00:17:00.000So we're sitting here passing judgment on your team who actually enforced the laws of the United States of America to not allow people to enter our country legally to regain our sovereignty?
00:17:15.000Do your agents find sometimes that they're living in an upside-down world?
00:17:26.000Enforce the laws of the United States of America, correct?
00:17:29.000And CBP's job, if you want to really simplify it, we're just supposed to know and then control who comes into this country and who stays in this country consistent with the laws Congress passes.
00:17:40.000And we've spent a lot of time here talking about the deaths of two protesters.
00:17:45.000And as my colleague from Florida pointed out, we haven't had a single hearing about the deaths of American citizens on the hands of criminal aliens.
00:17:58.000An official congressional hearing just confirmed what every single person watching this show already knew.
00:18:05.000No new comprehensive laws were passed or changed to go from the most open border in American history, hundreds of thousands of people pouring into this country illegally every single month to zero, to none.
00:18:56.000All the president had to do was say, enforce the law.
00:19:00.000And the border went from being wide open to virtually shut.
00:19:05.000So the next time some Democrat tells you we need comprehensive immigration reform before we can secure the border, that we need a new bill, that we need some sort of bipartisan deal, just play them this very clip.
00:19:24.000And speaking of doing things that Democrats and the media claimed could never be done, my father announced this weekend that member states of his Board of Peace have pledged more than $5 billion towards humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
00:19:40.000Again, Biden couldn't get a peace deal done.
00:19:46.000The so-called international community spent years wringing their hands and passing meaningless resolutions.
00:19:53.000And in the span of a few months, the president of the United States brokered a ceasefire, got hostages home, stood up an entirely new international body, and now has real commitments, real dollars headed towards rebuilding the region.
00:20:10.000And by the way, you know who's not participating?
00:20:17.000Most of the major European countries turn their noses up at this because apparently when an American president actually gets results, the European establishment cannot handle it.
00:20:28.000They'd rather sit there in their little conferences and complain and talk about what should be done without any action, all words, no action, than actually do something.
00:20:38.000Meanwhile, the president is out here getting it done.
00:21:01.000They want the CBP paralyzed because Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats decided that protecting agitators who assault federal officers is far more important than funding the people who keep this country safe.
00:21:14.000Let me be very clear about what's happening here.
00:21:17.000The House passed a bipartisan full-year DHS funding bill, but Senate Democrats blocked it and blocked a short-term extension because they want to handcuff ICE agent.
00:21:28.000They said they wanted body cameras, but when ICE agreed, Democrats changed their position.
00:21:34.000Then they said, we can't let ICE agents to be able to cover their faces because they don't want ICE agents to be able to pick up violent criminals and actually do their jobs.
00:21:44.000Now ICE is already fully funded in the one big beautiful bill.
00:21:49.000So the folks actually affected by this political stunt are really just collateral damage in the complete circus that the Democrats have created.
00:22:11.000I said from day one that, you know, we need to flood the zone and sanctuary cities with additional agents.
00:22:18.000The number of agents depend on the situation on the ground, how many known criminal targets are out there, because we know we have a problem with sanctuary cities, because we know they're really some public safety threats in the public.
00:22:29.000So rather than arresting that one criminal in jail, one agent arrests one criminal alien in the safety and security of a jail, which is safer for the agent, safer for the aliens, safer for the community, they release him in the street.
00:22:40.000Now we've got to send a whole team or six or seven people.
00:22:43.000That is the win we had in Minnesota, everybody, because now we have agreements and coordination with jails.
00:22:51.000We can rest that public safety threat in the security jail, which means we don't have to send six or seven people out to look for them.
00:22:58.000So I'm hoping other sanctuary cities look at what happened in Minnesota and how we got to the place red, which I think is a good place.
00:23:06.000I hope more people pay attention to that.
00:23:07.000And we work with these states to let our officers into jail.
00:23:11.000You can't, a lot of politicians are out there on the left or the Democrats saying, okay, Ice, we agree.
00:23:19.000You should be focusing on public safety threats.
00:23:21.000You should be focusing on illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes in this country.
00:23:29.000If you really want us to focus on the criminals, then let us send the jail.
00:23:32.000That's the safest, most secure place to and get this.
00:23:37.000Back when the Democrats still at least pretended to have some common sense, Chucky Schumer had a much different view on immigration, citizenship, and things like voter idea.
00:23:50.000Here's a quick trip down memory lane for all of you.
00:23:56.000Everywhere people go, they're asked for a social security card.
00:24:00.000In fact, one way to prove you're a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver's license and a social security card.
00:24:10.000All over where we go, people say, well, why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here?
00:24:19.000And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud.
00:24:28.000And while we're on the subject of Democrats and their delusion, the communists now in charge of New York are embroiled in yet another scandal because a staffer at the New York City Health Department has resurfaced XPost, wishing that Israelis were, quote, wiped off the earth.
00:24:48.000The post literally said, one Israeli left in this world would be one too many.
00:25:58.000I'm just wondering if you knew if you talked to the Queen District Attorney about that, if you talk to the family, curious what you would say about it.
00:26:04.000So I can, I could, I think I caught the bulk of your question.
00:26:11.000I have not directly spoken with the district attorney.
00:26:15.000I will say, however, that no family should have to endure this kind of pain.
00:26:20.000What they need right now is care, dignity, and support.
00:26:26.000Javez should not be prosecuted by the Queens district attorney.
00:26:33.000Deserves dignity for charging at officers with a knife?
00:26:38.000How can you be a police officer in this environment where the mayor defends the guy with the knife and then attacks the cops?
00:26:46.000And of course, you already remember who Mandani's biggest backer was, AOC, which brings us back to Munich, on where the new thought leader of the Democrat Party decided to try out her skills on the world stage.
00:27:02.000And guys, let's just say she did not take home the gold medal.
00:27:08.000AOC sat down for a panel alongside Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
00:27:13.000So I guess this is supposed to be the Democrats Party's like audition tape for 2028.
00:27:19.000This is their bench, their future, their best and their brightest.
00:27:24.000At one point, AOC was asked a question about China and Taiwan, and here's what happened next.
00:27:31.000Should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?
00:27:39.000You know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is a very long-standing policy of the United States.
00:27:59.000And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point.
00:28:06.000And we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise.
00:29:12.000What we identify is that in a rules-based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability.
00:29:19.000And so I think what we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in the West, we'd look the other way for inconvenient populations to act out these paradoxes.
00:30:16.000That doesn't mean that we can kidnap a head of state and engage in acts of war just because the nation is below the equator.
00:30:25.000And it's and by the Apparently, AOC is as bad at geography as she is at foreign policy, at governance, at pretty much everything else she does, because there's not a single portion of Venezuela that is below the equator.
00:30:49.000And the people clapping at the Munich Security Conference clearly don't understand that either.
00:30:55.000So I'm glad for Europe that these are the people that are making decisions for them and all of their citizens.
00:31:42.000So maybe she should learn a little bit about Spanish conquistadors because, you know, yeah, maybe named after one.
00:31:51.000So given all of that, and this perhaps is the best part, when Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, got asked about Ukraine, she actually deferred to AOC because she is more, and I quote, steeped in foreign policy than a governor.
00:32:26.000The two that I am on the panel with are much more steeped in foreign policy than a governor is.
00:32:32.000But, you know, I do think that Ukraine's independence, keeping their land mass and having the support of all the allies, I think, is the goal from my vantage point.
00:33:19.000A Democratic socialist congresswoman who can't answer a straightforward yes or no question on Taiwan, pushing a global wealth tax at a European conference, not even knowing where the equator is.
00:33:32.000And this is the real intellectual arsenal of the left.
00:33:38.000And by the way, these are some of the same people in an all-out panic about the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot, like, by the way, pretty much every country in the world requires.
00:33:55.000And now we even have some Senate rhinos like Mitch McConnell trying to stand in the way.
00:34:01.000Here's the latest from the bill's co-sponsor, Mike Lee.
00:34:06.000Try to imagine for a second the kind of chaos that would ensue if you took the arguments in opposition to the Save America Act, the argument that almost always focuses on the supposed difficulty of procuring identification documents, whether documents to prove citizenship at the time of registration or a government-issued photo ID at the time of voting.
00:34:32.000Imagine if you applied that to any of the other myriad contexts in which it's required to prove who you are, either when you fill out an I-9 form, when you start a new job, or every American, when starting a new job with a new employer, you have to fill out an I-9 form, which has very rigid documentation requirements to establish your U.S. citizenship.
00:34:54.000Now, the Save America Act's documentation requirements for citizenship are infinitely more flexible, easier to comply with than those accompanying the I-9.
00:35:05.000Imagine if the reaction there were just, okay, nobody has to prove that.
00:35:09.000Imagine if nobody had to prove anything anytime.
00:35:14.000When they boarded a plane, when they bought a hunting or a fishing license, when they picked up a payment, made withdrawals from a bank, when they did a background check when purchasing a firearm, any of those things.
00:35:32.000You'd be laughed at if you said some people might find it difficult to comply.
00:35:37.000Therefore, we're not going to require any identification or documentation at all.
00:36:03.000Well, opponents are trying to call it a threat to democracy, but you and I really both know the real threat to democracy is allowing elections where nobody has to prove who they actually are.
00:36:16.000And speaking of elections, Hakeem Jeffries went on CNN's State of the Union yesterday and openly declared that Democrats will spend whatever it takes to redistrict Virginia and leave only one Republican seat.
00:36:31.000Right now, Virginia has six Democrats and five Republicans.
00:36:35.000Under their new map, it would be 10 to 1.
00:36:38.00010 Democrats, one Republican, in a state that still has millions of conservative voters.
00:37:00.000It could be several, maybe multi-million dollar campaigns.
00:37:03.000We will spend tens of millions of dollars to make sure that the Republicans do not successfully manipulate voters in Virginia and that voters have all of the information necessary to make a decision around whether they want Donald Trump to rig the midterm elections and halt the ability for the American people to decide who's in the majority or whether the people of Virginia and the people of America should be the ones.
00:37:37.000They're doing the same thing in Maryland, trying to eliminate the one remaining Republican seat.
00:37:43.000California already approved a Democratic-backed redistricting measures, and Jeffrey is out there bragging about it.
00:37:51.000They're spending tens of millions of dollars to gerrymander their way back into the House majority.
00:37:56.000They can't win on ideas, so they're going to try to rig the maps.
00:38:00.000Virginia has an April referendum on this, and every Republican in that state needs to understand exactly what's going on.
00:38:09.000And finally, I want to talk about something that's been building this week at the Winter Olympics in Milan, because it ties into everything we've been discussing.
00:38:19.000You've got a growing number of American athletes, people who are wearing the stars and stripes, competing on behalf of this country, going in front of cameras and trashing America on a world stage.
00:38:30.000It started with Free Skylskier Hunter Hess, who told reporters, I want you to hear this in his exact words.
00:38:37.000It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now.
00:39:15.000I love it, and I'm so happy I get to represent U.S.
00:39:21.000Now, there are athletes from all over the world who would give anything, I mean anything, to compete for the United States.
00:39:29.000In fact, the Bethel athletes from countries across the globe actually use our Olympic training centers here in America.
00:39:35.000Yet, some of our own American athletes can't muster up the basic sense of gratitude for the country that gave them the training facilities, the funding, the coaching, and the platform to compete on the biggest stage in the world.
00:39:51.000When you put on that uniform and you wear that flag, you're not just representing yourself, you're representing the nation, and it's an honor that carries with it great responsibility.
00:40:03.000And by the way, what are these mixed emotions exactly?
00:40:07.000Because on every single front, foreign policy, national security, energy, elections, the economy, the border, this president is delivering.
00:40:17.000Rubio gave that speech, and really the speech of a generation at Munich while Democrats sent AOC to mumble a word salad through a question about Taiwan that she had clearly no understanding of.
00:40:33.000These are the people that are making life or death decisions, and they don't know what they're talking about.
00:40:39.000This is the difference between a party that governs and a party that obstructs and grandstands.
00:40:44.000Between leaders who deliver results and politicians who deliver word salads.
00:40:49.000Between people who love this country and people who are embarrassed by it or embarrassed because they too are just listening to the narrative and don't actually have any real understanding about what's going on.
00:42:02.000Yes, I try to keep it a family show, so I tell everyone to download the Rumble app on your smart TV so that you can watch with your family.
00:42:08.000You can probably curse a little bit in the chat.
00:42:10.000I try my best not to, although some of these things are so infuriating that I definitely break the general rule on occasion.
00:42:18.000But generally, we try to keep it clean for the families and for the kids.
00:42:25.000Hey, Don Jr., I'm from Virginia, and I pray to God that President Trump is keeping a close eye on us because we voted for him and in many different areas.
00:42:33.000I'm in the two of the new gerrymander map districts, I guess.
00:44:22.000I mean, it's meant for a lot of people.
00:44:23.000And I think if we did anything, especially if we did anything at the White House, it would be very small, you know, family, very close friends.
00:44:31.000And then maybe we do like some sort of bigger party afterwards.
00:44:34.000But it doesn't seem like the place you're going to bring thousands of people or even hundreds of people.
00:44:39.000Want to keep it tight, small, intimate family stuff.
00:45:11.000Do you guys actually want to see that stuff?
00:45:13.000Because I'm not as into it when I see the royal wedding in the UK and it's a big whole thing.
00:45:19.000Obviously, when you're in the public eye a little bit, some of this stuff always gets out or someone's leaking selfie photos to whatever magazine it is and stuff like that.
00:47:39.000I mean, you basically probably have like a three-day window where it's warm enough to do a wedding because you'd want to probably be outside and enjoy some of that beauty.
00:49:44.000I want them to see some of that stuff.
00:49:47.000But I feel for your own humanity, you probably need sometimes a little time away and a little bit of backing up because, again, once you go all the way there, it's fine.
00:51:42.000I don't really want to do it just because you can.
00:51:44.000You know, there's a lot of people that don't have that ability or the financial ability to do those kinds of things.
00:51:51.000So I never, I don't put a lot of that stuff out there just because I don't want people to be like, oh, you know, it must be nice.
00:51:56.000Like, it is if you can do it sometimes.
00:51:58.000You know, not, I promise you, it also comes with, it also comes with some hardship.
00:52:04.000I'm not saying it's worse and it's not a woe is me moment, but I promise you, you know, again, what you see on the gram, not just for me, but for most celebrities, you know, it's not always an accurate reflection of real life and what's really going on.
00:52:20.000And I see so much of that stuff out there that I'm just like, you know, it's like trying to flex on people, which I never really want to do.
00:52:26.000So I always try to step back and just, you know, be real where I can.
00:52:52.000But when I was out on the golf course, I'd see a pond and all I'd want to do is go fishing or I'd see the woods and I'd want to go hunting.
00:52:57.000And so I just never had the passion for it.
00:53:00.000So if you don't have the passion for it, you're probably not going to put in the time required to get great.
00:53:04.000And if I'm not going to be great at it, probably don't have as much interest.
00:54:18.000Whereas, you know, I'm out there hunting or fishing something, you know, almost, you know, every chance I have some free time when I'm not with my kids.
00:55:00.000Sometimes, you know, have a season, you go moose hunting, you had 2,000 pounds of meat.
00:55:03.000That's probably more meat than I can eat in a year.
00:55:04.000So I also donate a lot of that to some programs over the years, hunters feeding the homeless and these kinds of things.
00:55:12.000Or, you know, oftentimes, if I draw multiple tags in multiple states, say elk or another big animal, I'll pay for the processing there and have them give it to some families who need it so they're getting free protein and meat.
00:55:25.000Because while I love hunting and I love the meat, I love all of it, I also just love being out there.
00:55:31.000And once I have enough for myself, that doesn't mean I'm necessarily going to stop hunting if I can also help out other people along the way.
00:56:01.000It's adventure lifestyle, kind of unapologetic, man stuff.
00:56:07.000But we actually have a really strong female readership because I think that means females actually like real men.
00:56:12.000That's sort of been frowned upon for the last few years for sure.
00:56:17.000So we represent and talk about a lot of great stuff, but it's not a kind of thing where, hey, if you pay for an ad, we'll just put it in there.
00:56:24.000We only sort of do the stuff that we'd actually use in the field.
00:56:28.000Starting up a firearms company, honestly, while I'm fairly technical in that stuff, probably not the best use of my time when there's so much great stuff out there.
00:56:38.000I'd rather just support some of the great gunsmiths and the guys doing cool stuff and help out a bunch of those than rather than really compete with them.
00:57:20.000I think that's probably true, but I think it's less about, at least at the Field Ethos Journal, it's less about, I mean, it's more things that definitely gear towards men.
00:57:30.000I mean, you got overlanding, you got off-road racing, you got spearfishing, hunting, fishing.
00:57:37.000Definitely markets that are dominant by men, but I think there's a lot of women that actually like being with guys doing real man stuff.
00:57:44.000And so our readership is actually, in terms of an outdoor magazine, very heavily skewed on the female side relative to everything else.
00:57:55.000It's still more men than female, but I think they appreciate good writing and all of that.
00:58:00.000What do you think of Jesse James guns?
00:59:08.000And, you know, it's funny, like, when you use the golf example or the analogy, I see people going out there playing golf and guy, I mean, passionate golf or whatever.
01:00:14.000You got to try to secure the stuff, but it's not always possible, especially if they steal your car or break in and break into however you're securing it.
01:00:57.000I mean, listen, there's a lot of communities out there and you see it a lot in some of these things.
01:01:04.000You have sort of the organizations that represent various sports and they sort of get a lot of the lib talking points and they need transgender athletes competing for against women and all of this nonsense.
01:01:15.000And yet if you look at the actual groups and the actual people participating, it doesn't always seem like the governing bodies always represent those people well, if at all.
01:01:25.000So if you have a favorite sport, take the time, get out there, find the people who are in your group, and don't give up on it.
01:01:38.000Virginia doesn't want anyone to carry anymore.
01:01:41.000Listen, if you live in some of those states, it's just frankly time to leave.
01:01:45.000But that's a story for perhaps another podcast because, guys, I do have to get to a business dinner tonight, and then I got to get to bed after three, four days with the kids.
