On Tuesday’s Carl Higbie FRONTLINE, the former Navy SEAL didn’t mince words about former President Barack Obama, delivering a blunt reality check that conservatives ought to hear. Higbie ripped into the familiar pattern of elite lecture and left-wing double standards, reminding viewers that talk from the coastal establishment rarely matches the messy results Americans live with every day.
Higbie’s takedown was timed to hit back at Obama’s recent podcast remarks, where the former president warned that federal troop deployments to American cities risked eroding democratic norms. Obama’s comments on Marc Maron’s final WTF episode sparked headlines across the mainstream press, giving Higbie the opening to accuse him of sanctimonious hypocrisy while Obama himself stayed above the daily grind that real families face.
The real sting of Higbie’s argument was historical: he reminded viewers that many policies championed or tolerated by Obama’s circle helped pave the way for today’s failures — from soft-on-crime city governance to open-border incentives that strain communities. Conservatives know this pattern well; it’s not a partisan hatchet job but an insistence on accountability for the people who built the system that now collapses under its own contradictions.
What makes Obama’s lectures especially galling, Higbie argued, is the dissonance between his high-minded pronouncements and the lived reality of working Americans. Obama himself has warned Democrats to stop being “buzzkills” and to focus on everyday issues like jobs, inflation and public safety — advice he gave others to follow even as his own allies double down on identity politics and cultural snobbery. That contradiction is the very hypocrisy Higbie exposed on air.
Conservative viewers shouldn’t be shy about calling out this kind of elite preening, and Higbie’s FRONTLINE has become a necessary counterweight on a media landscape that too often shields former presidents from tough scrutiny. Newsmax has made clear it will give that scrutiny primetime space, and Higbie seized it to remind Americans that patriotism means defending the country against bad ideas no matter where they come from.
If voters are tired of lectures and want solutions, they should listen to the people who live in the neighborhoods hurt by these policies, not the celebrities who pontificate from their mansions. Carl Higbie did what conservatives do best on Tuesday: he called for straight talk, fierce accountability, and a return to common-sense policies that put working Americans first.
