Text in image: Border Patrol Union - NBPC ✓ @BPUnion On behalf of the men and women on the frontlines protecting America's borders, we wish to thank the @HouseGOP and the @SenateGOP for passing the Secure America Act! This bill will allow ICE & Border Patrol to remain fully funded without the threat of a shutdown impacting pay and operations through FY29. We are thankful for the strong leadership of @POTUS Trump and the support of those in Congress who want to continue with the strongest border in the history of this great country! @realDonaldTrump @TrumpWarRoom @RapidResponse47 8:29 PM · Jun 9, 2026 · 13.4K Views

I think the best way to think about our current political climate in the United States is we are led by a transcendent political athlete. Donald Trump is the most effective and capable political athlete we have ever seen. Why? He understands how to connect at the one-on-one level. He understands retail politics better than, frankly, anybody. He has an app ability that's very disarming, and yet because of his business acumen, he has a way of negotiating that I think is just very hard for the learned non-business person to compete with. You know, there's a very famous Mike Tyson quote, "Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face." I think the president has an incredible ability to negotiate. Howard Luttnick has an incredible ability to negotiate, Scott Besson has an ability to negotiate because of their grounding in business.

I mean, I am one of many American conservatives who found him to be pretty repugnant when he first came on the scene in 2016, when the way that he talks, the way that he does negotiation, the way that he talks about war and peace, and life and death is sometimes overly strong. But what Donald Trump has done around the entire world is he has asked for people to advocate for themselves, actually stand up for themselves, and fight, fight, fight. That is his whole thing. And when you look at someone like Marco Rubio. Although to be clear, when it came to January the 6th, he didn't say fight, fight, fight. That's what we're going to be seeing in trouble, but carry on. But no, that's what he said when he got shot in the year. He got shot in the year, he stood up and yelled fight, fight, fight. Yeah, good point. But when you look at what he did with Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio was one of his foils in 2016. He was a good conservative, a good boy, but he was a squish, and he rolled right over him. According to Marco Rubio today, Donald Trump has taught him how to fight and how to stand up for himself and dismantle people in an argument. And he wants that from Europe. He wants that from the UK. He wants these people to be allies who will defend themselves and be pugnacious and willing to fight like Netanyahu does. Do you know what it is? I think he smells confidence. He smells confidence across the room. I was there today in that cabinet room. It was amazing. What an honor. What an privilege to be amongst those phenomenal human beings there. And you can see him look across the room and he gravitates towards people who he thinks are happy in their own skin. You don't see it at all, do you? Well, I think President Trump certainly has a lot of powerful political characteristics. He has had an ability to message and drive a message that I haven't seen really in any politician, for the exception of President Obama, if you look at the two seminal political figures of Stephen and I's lifetime, or like just the last 50 years, it would be President Obama and President Trump. I would say this though, I think sometimes the skills that get you where you are can also be the skills that lead to your downfall. And his ability to dig in and fight on things is certainly a skill that was able to get him back into the White House. But I also think they're missing a key point here, which is the Iran war is unpopular. There's a lot of talk about, well, what does the MAGA base think about it? Well, the MAGA base is 25, 30% of the entire US population. Look at the broader polling. The broader polling shows that this war is very unpopular. And the issue Trump has is that to accomplish the objectives he says he wants accomplished, taking out the regime and getting rid of the nuclear program, hold on, taking out the regime or getting rid of the nuclear program is going to require boots on the ground, something he campaigned against, and it would be a major escalation. And then even if we get rid of the regime, that is going to open up a huge box of issues. And every week that goes by where we don't have an end to this war, the economic pain is going to mount. And a recent Reuters poll showed that the Americans are more unhappy with this economy now under Trump than they were with Biden. So I think the Trump administration and President Trump needs to take a step back and see digging in their heels and fighting on every topic might not be the right strategy. Yeah, but that point about them wanting to change the regime, they have been crystal clear that that is not their aim. Hang on, hang on. Caroline Levitt said in the briefing room yesterday when she was asked about that, she said, "Of course, we want somebody in charge who is more favorable, who doesn't chance death to America." She said, "Of course we would want that." But she said their entire leadership has changed, but it is too soon to say if we will be happy with the new regime. Well, Bev, I would say I was on the show with you for the six hours, I don't know how you did it, when this war started. And GB News platformed a ton of guests who were in favor of this war, and they didn't have a fetish for destroying the Navy. What they wanted to do, and they repeatedly said, was regime change. GB News interviewed a ton of people who talked about how we need to get rid of this regime, and the Trump administration parroted that line, and they talked about getting rid of the nuclear program. Now, what's going to happen is the Trump administration might need to claim that getting rid of their Navy is the only thing they wanted to do, because that's the best way to back out. There's minor success, and then there's total success. Minor success with Chuck Schumer got himself into trouble when he couldn't articulate this on Morning Joe. The Senate Majority Leader of the Democrats was asked, "Would it be a good thing if Iran had no naval or military capacity at the end of this thing?" And he was like, "Well, we can't really say, because we don't know what's going to happen." No, it is actually just... Because he's a Democrat. It is just a good thing that Iran is feckless and weak compared to its neighbors. Not just Israel, but the Qataris, the Emiratis, the Saudis, none of these people actually like the Iranian regime, it's good that they are completely decimated militarily. But the total victory, of course, would be regime change, and regime change can either be a change of heart within the regime, that they're going to act differently, or the Iranian people install leaders that might bring them back to the days before the Iranian Revolution.
