Carl Higbie told viewers on his Newsmax program that America still holds overwhelming power and that, when the Commander-in-Chief gives the order, our military can act swiftly against tyrants who threaten global stability. His FRONTLINE show has become a regular platform for unapologetic pro-American, pro-military commentary, and this blunt assessment struck a chord with patriots who are tired of weakness in Washington.
Higbie argued plainly that the United States, under decisive leadership, can neutralize hostile dictators in short order — a reminder that deterrence depends on credibility, not apologies. For those who doubt our capabilities, his reporting and on-the-ground segments have emphasized the real-world reach of American power and the willingness of veterans-turned-journalists to call out cowardice.
Make no mistake: this is not bloodthirsty bravado, it is a stern warning to would-be aggressors that America will not negotiate from a posture of weakness. The alternative — a timid, indecisive foreign policy — invites tragedy and emboldens monsters who slaughter their own people and threaten our allies. Patriots who cherish freedom understand that strength and moral clarity are the best bulwark against chaos.
Meanwhile, the left and the media will try to turn any talk of strength into a scandal, painting resolve as reckless aggression to keep Americans afraid and passive. That narrative suits the same ruling class that surrendered our factories, opened our borders, and outsourced our security to global bureaucracies. Conservatives must call out that hypocrisy loudly: weakness at home invites war abroad.
If President Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office with the mandate to restore American deterrence, he should be backed by citizens who understand that preserving liberty sometimes requires hard decisions and unblinking resolve. We owe that to the men and women who wear the uniform and to the millions around the world who look to America as a shield against tyranny. Leadership that projects strength prevents wars by making aggression costly for a would-be dictator.
At the end of the day, Americans don’t want endless interventionism; we want unmistakable strength and clear purpose from our leaders. Carl Higbie’s message was straightforward and patriotic: when our country is led by people who put America first and respect our armed forces, the world is safer — and our enemies think twice. That is the kind of leadership hardworking Americans should demand.
