It was absolutely a masterful synopsis of what we've done by Secretary Rubio and we've come to expect that. But the main thing was he did address the regime change. He didn't he he reiterated that that was not an explicit objective, but the damage that we're doing to the Iranian military infrastructure and armorament may in fact now in the immediate future or the long term weaken that regime to such an extent it will fall.
I mean that they're going to have to restore if they want to be this theocratic bully in the Middle East 50 years and a half a trillion dollars in munitions at a time their people are starving can't afford gasoline. So they're in a very difficult position and the straight of our muse was a very brilliant point that he made because Iran thought they had leverage on us and said well you you're going to have to get ground troops because you have to open the straight and we said not really. We have other friends and powers that have more interest and maybe they you can deal with them.
In a recent interview on Fox News, Victor Davis Hansen delivers a striking assessment. Marco Rubio didn't just speak, he dominated the narrative. Hansen calls Rubio's breakdown nothing short of masterful, a precise, calculated explanation of a strategy that goes far beyond short-term wins.
No talk of forced regime change, but a quiet, undeniable reality. The pressure being applied could naturally bring that outcome anyway. His conclusion hits hard.
Rubio didn't just outline policy. He exposed imbalance, reset expectations, and signaled a new phase of leadership. If this direction holds, Hansen suggests the global order itself may be entering a turning point.
And then more importantly, Sean, I think the NATO u the NATO emphasis was very important because European countries that are in NATO have a habit of unilateral activity for their own interests. When the British wanted to go in the Faullands, they came to us and they said, "We need two million gallons of gas. We need tomahawks.
We need Venison. " We said, "Well, we we want to restore relations with our Western Hemisphere Spanish speaking friends. " And nevertheless, we went out on a limb and supported them.
When the French wanted to go into Chad unilaterally for a postc colonial expedition, they said to us, "We need refueling. We need reconnaissance. " When they wanted to bomb Libya, which was a misadventure, the French and British came to us, would you please lead this bombing?
When they wanted to go into Serbia uh and protect Kosovo, which was not a NATO country, they came to us and they said, would you lead this? when they when the Ukraine war when Ukraine was attacked I think unjustly and we sympathize Ukraine but it was not a NATO power they came to us and said would you spearhead the help for Ukraine so it's always been a one-way street when they want to take action in their national interest but this action was not just in our national interest it was in the global interest as Secretary Rubio really brilliantly exposited and then the final thing Sean we're not talking about a weak country we're talking about NATO members numbers in Europe that have $450 million people, 100 million people more than we do, and an economy of $22 trillion, the third largest in the world, 10 times larger than Russia. They're perfectly capable of stepping up and uh pulling their own weight.
And this was a terrible tragic error on their part. And Americans are going to have a long memory and they're going to they're going to ruin the moment they did this. Our enemies, whether it's Pakistan or North Korea or China or Russia, their whole premise is that we're such a sophisticated society.
We'll threaten you. We'll do all this because you are so wealthy and so sophisticated and so humane and you won't lose any and you're not crazy like we are. And what Trump is trying to do is say, "Yeah, we're actually crazier than you are.
" and that's his effort to ensure deterrence. That's why he's trying to beef up strategic deterrent. There's also a story that Gordon Chang, an article that he wrote suggesting that they are very worried that if we go into a secondary boycott because China is buying Russian oil and we don't export food to China, they can't they can't survive.
They may be the big the world's greatest food producer, but they're also the greatest food importer for their 1. 4 billion people. So, they are doing two things.
He says, Gordon, they're stockpiling food and they are sending exotic diseases through their agents into the United States to researchers in Michigan were caught with by rot that could infect crop land. And then they had anonymous mail campaign to various people sending seeds in the mail that as if they were I don't know just anious seeds and they were evasive species that had the ability to kill crops either through weeds and take them over or somehow hybridization that would destroy that. And then they're of course buying land near farmland.
They're buying farmland and buying farmland and other land near military bases. This all accelerated under Biden. They looked at Biden as a 4-year window into parody.
They could not believe that he was present. At that point, everything followed. We had the Chinese balloon that that came in.
We we had the open siding of China with Russia. We had China supplying a lot of arms to Iran and they they just their whole attitude was that the United States is in decline and we're going to just take advantage of this president because we might not ever get anybody like him again and they might not. [snorts] So I think Trump's strategy now is to do what Henry Kissinger said that China shall not be a closer friend to Russia than it is to us.
And Russia won't be closer to China than it is to us. Triangulation and break up that alliance. And the alliance is based on the tensions between China, a potential alliance with either one of them to break them up.
Russia's got a you it's got the largest land mass of any country, but it only has 144 million people. China has a a land mass about the size of our country, but it's got 1. 4 billion.
So, it's over four times the size of the United States population. And so, they need territory. And Russia knows that and doesn't have enough people to defend territory.
So, we're trying to needle Russia about that. By the same token, we're trying to to needle China about Russia. Trump is rightfully proud of his ability to get hostages back.
But there's a double-edged sword to that when you show such empathy and that you know it's kind of like the Romans who said Cicero once said that I think it was in the proarchy or maybe yeah it was in the proarchy he said Kiwis Romanu is is the on the lips of every Roman wherever you go around the world you say I am a Roman citizen and then you have exemption or you have sanctity and people will save you. Well, if you have that attitude, then you're almost inviting people to take Americans hostage because Trump will react to it and try to negotiate them way home. Whereas Biden either didn't know they were gone, didn't care, and didn't do much unless they were DEI in the case of Britney Grryer where he left a US former military service person and and did everything he could to bring this Africanamean basketball player home.
China's whole theory is that they don't have oil. They don't have natural gas. They have some oil, 6 million barrels a day or something.
They don't have a lot of natural gas. They can't feed themselves. They don't they're parasitical for scientific technology on the US and Europe at least for a while longer.
But they do have people. So their attitude is we got all these people, let's use them. So let's send 300,000 students to the United States and make everyone a potential spy.
By law, they have to report back when they come home what they found, what they saw, what they know about the United States. and let's put put them on ships and let's have the belt and road, the Silk Road. Let's put them in every port.
You know, if you look at a map of the choke points, choke points being places in a time of existential tension, you could cut off the world's commerce, Gibralar, in and out, Suez, Panama Canal, the Bosphorus areas in the South China Sea, they're there. They either are oper uh they're either operating the port themselves or they're in a partnership and they have trwers and tankers that we've all always said were dual use. It's just a a way of using their population in a time of crisis.
All of a sudden China are everywhere and u I don't think our intelligencia understands that. I think partly because China's given so much money, I think $500 million in the last two years to universities here. They flooded the zone with 300,000 students.
They've brilliantly tapped into the yellow peril racism of the 19th century and said the Americans are racist. They've used DEI to say they were, you know, part of the DEI exploited minority in American history. They they do all of that.
And the re and the the result is to to create a landscape in which they're not treated the way they should be treated. Well, it's China. We were an ally of them in World War II.
Mao was an aberration. Whatever. But if we were empirical, we would say this is an existential threat to us.
They hate our guts. They want to destroy us and we have to be very careful with them cuz they're insidious. There's another problem and that is the Democratic party has given the wrong messages.
So we have first and second generation first generation immigrants many of them citizens and second and they come over here and I'm thinking of Mr Zoron Mandami or Ilian Omar was an immigrant. He's an immigrant. Um some of the members of the squad are first or second generation and they immediately come over to this country from wretched places.
Remember what Omar said, oh you know things were much better in Somalia and they weren't as bad. I I looked how dirty it was here or we didn't have a dictator in S Somalia. That's the wrong attitude for an immigrant.
It's a wrong attitude to go into a soccer game in the coliseum in LA and see the crowd ruing uh rooting for the Mexican team, not the American team. So, something's gone wrong with the whole thing. And it's because of numbers and no civic education and no legality.
This whole salad bold tribalism is just fatal when you get massive numbers of unaudited immigrants from very impoverished places who come over here as economic refugees. I mentioned yesterday, you know, I I had to go into a local pharmacy and I just said to myself, I have to get a simple prescription related to this sinus problem I've had. I can tell you that there will be a line and the amount of uh time that will take in line will be predicated on whether the person speaks English and is a citizen.
And I can tell you that if you're not a citizen and you have medical cards and various things and false identities as many do, it's going to hold up the entire line. And it did. I was there for about 35 minutes.
And each time a person came ahead of me that spoke English, was clearly a citizen, pulled out their card or their ID or they had it in file, bam, bam, bam, they were out. So, a lot of things we don't talk about, you know, is all of the impediments that massive illegal immigration imposes on a society there. Fox News almost, if you read the New York Post or the Fox News, all they do is just kind of chronicle what the other me media will not high-profile DUI wrecks where a illegal alien kills somebody drunk and leaves the scene of the accident.
50% of all wrecks in Los Angeles, the person leaves the scene of the accident. I have been in a wreck with my daughter who was 12 at the time of an illegal alien who ran a stop sign and broadsided me and flipped his small I was lucky in a pickup truck and he ran and I ran after him and detained him for the police. But the point is the first thing he did is he's ran.
And I have said before in this program, I must have in the last 50 years that I can remember, there has to be at least six to seven incidents where somebody went airborne on the side of the road drunk on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon, took out six rows of vines, maybe three vines per row, 20 or 30 vines, or tore out a young uh plum tree orchard. uh woke up drunk, left the scene of the accident. I called the police, police came out, towed the car.
I could not come impound it, tried one time. Police threatened to arrest me if I didn't break the chain. And there were no consequences.
No one ever paid me. No one ever said, "You've lost $20,000 worth of damage. This person's illegal.
I've told the highway patrol, he's out there hiding in the vineyard. " Well, I don't know if you're right or not. there were.
So every I'm done. Everybody's done with that in California. They're tired of it.
And because we have a Mexican-American minority population that is a majority of the minorities. Most of these things are now happening not to the so-called Anglo community, but to the Mexican-American community. When you read the paper about an illegal alien running a stop sign in Fresno County and killing somebody, tragically it's a Mexican-American driver who is the recipient of that illegality.
And the same thing is true on violent assaults or all sorts of things. So the left is impervious to that. But that's why the Mexican-American community voted for Trump or at least split down the middle because they were the ones on the receiving end of liberal white piety.
And they didn't, the liberal whites who wanted open borders were not going to experience their ideology firsthand. It was going to be some poor guy in Madera or Sanger or Reedley that did it. We want people to be if they're going to come, we want them to come legally.
We want them to come in numbers that can be assimilated and integrated and we're not doing that. We want them to be civically educated so they have some acquaintance with the American system, its history. I want them to know what the Battle of Gettysburg is.
I want them to know who Abraham Lincoln is. Not that our own college students know that anymore. And I want them to understand the brutal bargain that they rejected their homeland for whatever reason and they chose to come to our country and they were guests when they came and they don't criticize the country that they want to live in and romanticize by waving a Mexican flag in LA of the country they rejected while burning the flag of the country they under no circumstances want to leave.
