Younger Voters Driving GOP Away From Old Foreign Policy Playbook: Posobiec and Baris

An exchange between political pollster Rich Baris and commentator Jack Posobiec focused on the growing influence of younger right-wing voters and their strong alignment with the MAGA movement, highlighting how concerns over the American dream and domestic priorities continue to shape conservative politics.

Baris framed the discussion around the future direction of the Republican Party and the preferences of its younger base.

“In 28 who’s going to be the nominee, the direction the party is going to go in?” Baris asked, before arguing that age demographics are a critical factor.

“The fact of the matter is, I think some people have to understand that the age demographics of this younger voters, younger right wing voters, are more mad. They’re not isolationist, but they are more MAGA, and that’s because they feel so deeply the dire threat to their own future and their own ability to live the American dream.”

Baris said polling data shows a clear pattern among younger conservatives, particularly those under middle age.

“You do see this massive aid signal with under 45 under 50, whatever, however, you know, demographic bucket you want to put it in,” he said.

He added that the shift was inevitable.

“So it was bound to happen. Jack. It was going to happen well.”

Posobiec agreed, saying he regularly hears similar views from younger voters who are frustrated with political priorities they believe leave them behind.

“And I see this with younger voters all the time,” Posobiec said.

He pointed to age groups most vocal about these concerns.

“I think we said earlier, what did we say? Under 50? Under 40, crowd is when it comes to a lot of the foreign policy stuff, they’ll say, Yeah, okay, but what about me? What about us? What are you doing for us? What are we getting out of this?”

According to Posobiec, this perspective explains how younger voters interpret the “America First” message.

“And so when they say America first, they don’t necessarily mean that, like you say it does that,” he said.

“You know, we have to recede from the world and be isolation still this, but they would like to see more of a prioritization on issues of Americans, the issues of veterans and rather than this foreign policy push that they feel for so long had been the focus of the Republican Party.”

Posobiec concluded that these attitudes are not new and directly fueled recent political realignments.

“And oh, by the way, those are the same conditions that led to the rise of MAGA, of finalism, of Donald Trump in the first place in 2016.”

SWAT Standoff, Two-Day Release, Then Another Shooting in Texas

A 21-year-old Texas man is back in custody after authorities linked him to a series of alleged drive-by shootings in Hays County, including one incident that occurred after he was released from jail just days following a standoff with a SWAT team.

Abraham Herrera, 21, faces multiple charges tied to two drive-by shootings and a barricade incident involving Hays County SWAT officers last month.

The case spans several cities south of Austin, including Kyle, Buda, and Martindale, according to reporting from FOX 7 Austin.

The first shooting occurred on Nov. 3, when Hays County deputies responded to reports of gunfire in the 500 block of Santa Fe Run in Kyle.

Upon arrival, deputies found a homeowner who had been seriously injured after multiple rounds were fired into the residence. Investigators determined the shooting appeared to be a random act of violence, and authorities reported there was no known connection between the suspect and the victim.

Nine days later, on Nov. 12, Hays County SWAT was called to assist deputies responding to another report of shots fired, this time in Buda.

According to FOX 7, officers made contact with Herrera, who then allegedly fled into a wooded area near the scene and refused to surrender.

Authorities said the situation escalated into a standoff, prompting the deployment of the SWAT team. After negotiations, Herrera was taken into custody.

Law enforcement officers recovered an AR-15-style firearm and ammunition at the scene.

Following his arrest, Herrera was charged with evading arrest or detention, unlawful carrying of weapons, disorderly conduct, and tampering or fabricating with evidence, according to court records cited by FOX 7.

Despite the charges and the nature of the standoff, court documents show Herrera was released from jail just two days later.

On Dec. 1, investigators were notified of another drive-by shooting that occurred in Martindale over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Evidence gathered during the investigation allegedly connected Herrera to that incident as well.

After the second shooting was reported, authorities moved to take Herrera back into custody.

He is now facing additional charges related to the alleged shootings and remains jailed as the investigation continues.

Hays County is located roughly 15 miles south of Austin and has experienced rapid population growth in recent years.

The series of incidents has drawn attention due to the short time frame between the alleged shootings, the SWAT standoff, and Herrera’s initial release from custody.

Officials have not publicly detailed why Herrera was released so quickly following the Nov. 12 arrest, and court records do not indicate whether bail conditions were imposed at the time.

FOX 7 reported that the release occurred despite the recovery of a rifle and ammunition and the pending charges.

Law enforcement agencies involved in the case have emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing.

Authorities continue to review ballistic evidence, witness statements, and other materials related to the shootings in Kyle and Martindale.

The homeowner injured in the Nov. 3 shooting survived, and no fatalities have been reported in connection with the incidents.

Officials have not released details about the victim’s current condition.

The case highlights ongoing questions about pretrial release decisions, particularly in cases involving alleged violent offenses and repeat encounters with law enforcement.

Commies Rooted in Marxist-Leninism Are in the U.S. Congress: Rep Pat Fallon

During a recent exchange, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren pressed Rep. Pat Fallon on whether Democratic opposition to U.S. strikes on narco terrorists reflects genuine concern or political theater driven by hostility toward President Trump.

Lahren questioned whether Democrats privately express the same outrage they display publicly, given the deadly impact of narco terrorism and fentanyl trafficking.

“Congressman, I want to go back to the Democrats again. I’m sure that in off the record closed door conversations, you’ve got Democrat colleagues that maybe you might feel are a little bit more reasonable,” Lahren said.

“Are they really telling you, behind closed doors, off the record, at a Christmas party, that they’re super upset about the strikes on Narco terrorists, because it’s hard for me as just an American civilian who is looking at the death and destruction of Narco terrorism, of fentanyl, of all of this, and thinking, Boy, we shouldn’t be striking them.”

She continued by questioning whether the public opposition reflects sincere belief or political performance.

“But the Democrats have really they’ve rooted themselves on the floor with this one,” Lahren said.

“Is that a bunch of BS, or are they really saying that to you, off the record, behind closed doors? Are they really that mad about this, or is this just Trump derangement syndrome for the cameras?”

Fallon responded by arguing that Democratic reactions to President Trump are often reflexive and disconnected from policy substance.

“Well, some of these folks, I mean, if there’s a if somebody sneezes, they want to impeach President Trump,” Fallon said.

“If he doesn’t take his own tight you know, and if there’s an eclipse, he’s going to they’re going to blame Donald Trump for blotting out the sun.”

Fallon said he believes some Democrats use criticism of Trump as a political tool rather than a reflection of genuine disagreement with the policy.

“So, yeah, this is just a an excuse that many of them use to say, Oh, look at the dangerous and deranged President Trump,” Fallon said.

He then drew a distinction within the Democratic Party, separating members he described as pragmatic from those he said are ideologically opposed to actions that benefit the United States.

“When the reason was we have actually a name for them, to be candid,” Fallon said.

“And it’s the patriotic Democrats, the ones that are reasonable, the ones that actually have the best interest the United States at heart.”

Fallon contrasted those lawmakers with others he described in far harsher terms.

“And then there’s the commies,” he said.

“I mean, there are people that I believe are truly rooted in Mark So Marxist, Leninism, that are in the United States Congress. I hate to say that, but it is true.”

According to Fallon, that ideological divide explains why some Democrats oppose actions aimed at combating narco terrorism and protecting U.S. interests.

“They really are genuinely concerned anything that actually protects America and American interests they seem to be against,” Fallon said.

He added that some Democrats privately acknowledge support for the strikes but feel pressure to publicly oppose them to satisfy activist voters.

“So yes, there are certainly some Democrats that know that they have no problem with these strikes,” Fallon said.

“But for some of them, have to play to the cameras and really, you know, cater to their hard left base.”

‘Americans Rejected EVERYTHING the Democrats Stand For’: Byron Donalds

Rep. Byron Donalds said the Democratic Party is struggling to redefine itself after voters rejected its positions on immigration, border security, inflation, and social issues, arguing that any attempt at rebranding fails to address what he described as fundamental policy failures.

Speaking about recent Democratic messaging efforts, Donalds questioned whether a meaningful shift is even possible given what he said are the party’s long-standing policy positions.

“Where is the rebrand? Here am I missing it? I have no idea what they’re going to do, because everything that the Democrats stand for is what the American people have soundly rejected,” Donalds said.

Donalds said immigration and border security remain central issues for voters, arguing that Democratic policies have led to chaos at the southern border and empowered criminal organizations.

“They stand for open borders. The American people rejected it. They stand for rampant illegal immigration. They stand for criminal illegals coming into our country. They stand for the drug cartels having control of our southern borders,” he said.

He also pointed to economic concerns, saying Democrats are responsible for inflation that has strained household budgets across the country.

Donalds tied those economic conditions directly to policies supported by Democrats under Joe Biden.

“And last but not least, they stood for the inflation that crippled so many American families,” Donalds said.

“That was Democrats that voted for Joe Biden’s economic plan, which led to higher inflation for the American people, a stagnant economy, wages adjusted for inflation, were down, and they’re going to rebrand themselves.”

Donalds said voters are also paying attention to social policy debates, including those involving transgender issues and athletics, which he described as out of step with public opinion.

“I didn’t even get into the crazy social agendas around transgenderism and boys and women’s sports,” he said.

“That’s what they stand for. Those are the policies they want to go back to.”

He questioned what Democrats could realistically change if they attempt to repackage their message without altering their underlying positions.

“So what’s the rebrand going to do? Are they going to get more crazy?” Donalds asked.

“They’re going to follow Zorhan Mamdani I don’t think that’s going to work for the American people.”

Donalds said voters are focused on practical outcomes rather than messaging, emphasizing economic stability and personal prosperity.

“Americans want sound borders. They want a sound economy. They want prices to be stable and to lower. They want more money in their pocket,” he said. “They really want to thrive. They want the American dream.”

According to Donalds, Democrats have consistently opposed or undermined those priorities through their policy choices.

“Democrats don’t stand for that,” he said.

“Look at the policy sets.”

He argued that changes in party leadership or public-facing figures would not alter the results if the policies remain the same.

“You could put AOC or somebody else out in front, but it’s the same policies,” Donalds said.

“Which means it’s going to be destructive of America.”

Minnesota’s Welfare Data Tells a Different Story Than the Democrat Narrative

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said new information suggests a large majority of Somalis living in Minnesota are dependent on government assistance, raising renewed questions about the impact of Democratic immigration policies and the scope of public benefit usage by illegal aliens.

Comer said the issue is politically sensitive and often avoided by Democrats, despite what he described as troubling data about welfare dependency in the state.

“Because they don’t want to offend that population,” Comer said.

“And the early numbers that I’m getting in on the Somalis in Minnesota is 75% of the Somalis in Minnesota are on full government assistance. That’s full welfare.”

Comer linked the situation to immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration, arguing that Democrats deliberately kept the border open under the premise of addressing labor shortages but failed to acknowledge the fiscal consequences.

“The whole reason that the Democrats left the border open during the Biden administration was to allow people to come in, and what they said would provide jobs, you know, because there’s a shortage of workers,” Comer said.

“And I agree there’s workers.”

He said the reality in Minnesota does not align with those claims, pointing to what he described as widespread reliance on taxpayer-funded programs.

“But you got a massive population in that one state, and the overwhelming majority of that population is on Medicaid and then and other types of government programs,” Comer said.

Comer also disputed Democratic assertions that illegal aliens are not receiving Medicaid benefits, suggesting the true scale of enrollment may be understated and could soon be exposed through further review.

“Even when Democrats say there are no illegals on Medicaid,” he said.

“I think that’s that that’s going to be proven to be booked in Minnesota.”

Stephen Miller Lays Out Just How Successful Trump Has Been in 11 Months

Stephen Miller said the past 11 months represent the most successful period in American presidential history, pointing to strong economic growth, lower energy prices, expanding exports, and major gains in technology, manufacturing, and military strength under President Donald Trump.

Miller said the administration’s results stand in sharp contrast to the conditions President Trump inherited, highlighting what he described as a historic turnaround across multiple sectors.

“The last 11 months have been the most successful 11 months in the history of the American presidency,” Miller said.

“Think about what President Trump inherited and what we have today.”

Miller cited the latest economic data as a central measure of that success, noting a stronger-than-expected growth report for the third quarter.

“We just got a blockbuster 4.3% economic growth report for Q3 for the third quarter today, smashing expectations fueled by rising consumer demand,” he said. “And here’s the key word, American exports.”

According to Miller, the United States has reversed decades of trade imbalance by becoming a major exporter rather than relying primarily on imports.

“Our whole lives. All we’ve had are imports, imports from Asia, imports from Mexico, imports from Canada,” Miller said.

“Now we’re an exporting powerhouse.”

He also emphasized sharp declines in energy costs, arguing that energy independence has been restored.

“Energy prices are down. Gas prices have been cut by almost 50% we’re an energy superpower,” Miller said.

Miller said those gains extend beyond energy, asserting that the U.S. has reclaimed its position as a global manufacturing leader.

“We’re a manufacturing superpower,” he said.

He added that technological leadership has returned after years of falling behind other nations, crediting the Trump administration with advancing next-generation industries.

“And also, very importantly, we are a technology superpower,” Miller said.

“After years of watching other countries invent the new technologies beat us in 5G under President Trump, we have a revolution in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and we’re bringing the semiconductor industry back to the United States.”

Miller said those developments have strengthened national security, alongside renewed military investment.

“A technology superpower, a manufacturing superpower, and most importantly of all, a military superpower,” he said.

He pointed to recent defense announcements, including new naval construction, as evidence of a rebuilt and modernized armed forces.

“You saw the announcement today about the golden dome, the golden fleet, the next generation of battleships,” Miller said.

“The announcement yesterday, sorry about how the President is making the American military the dominant, overwhelming lethal force of the 21st Century.”

Miller also highlighted domestic enforcement and public safety, saying border security and crime reduction have improved significantly.

“The border is slammed shut. Crime is plummeting. Illegals are going home, and America is for Americans,” he said.

Miller concluded by framing the administration’s record as a comprehensive achievement across the economy, security, and national identity.

“Again, you could not ask for a better Christmas list than that,” he said.

Democrats’ Entire Playbook of Welfare Cash for Illegal Aliens Called Out by Brandon Gill

U.S. House of Representatives for Texas’s 26th Congressional District, Brandon Gill accused Democrats of operating what he described as a corrupt welfare-based patronage system that misuses American tax dollars and, in some cases, may have allowed funds to be diverted overseas to extremist groups.

Gill said recent estimates suggest taxpayer money connected to U.S. welfare programs may have been funneled to Al-Shabaab terrorists in Somalia, calling the situation a serious national concern that Democrats have failed to confront.

“There’s estimates now that this money could have been funneled to Al Shabaab terrorists in Somalia,” Gill said.

“I hope that Democrats jump on board and recognize what a severe problem this is for the American people.”

Gill argued that welfare spending has become a political tool rather than a safety net, alleging it is used to reward political allies and secure long-term voter loyalty.

“But you know, welfare for Democrats is a way of taking American tax dollars, giving it to their political allies,” he said.

“It is a patronage system. It is you vote for me, and I will take other people’s money and give it to you, and I don’t care if it’s fraudulent. I don’t care if you shouldn’t be getting it, as long as you vote for me.”

According to Gill, this approach prioritizes political power over accountability and encourages fraud within government programs.

“That’s the goal,” he said.

Gill said the consequences extend beyond individual cases of misuse, arguing that the practice damages the country’s broader social and economic foundations.

“You know, I hope that Democrats recognize how unbelievably corrupt This is, how it undermines our entire social system, our entire economic system, and gets on board,” Gill said.

“But, you know, they’ve been pretty hesitant to do that so far.”

He further accused Democrats of pursuing an immigration strategy designed to cement permanent political advantage.

“The Democrat playbook has been import as many unassimilable foreigners as they possibly can, get them on the dole and ensure that these people vote Democrat for life,” Gill said.

“That’s what we’re up against here.”

‘We Finally Got to See What The Communists Dreamt of Doing in This Country’: Jesse Kelly

Conservative commentator Jesse Kelly said Americans should pause and reflect on how dramatically the country has changed since the end of the Biden-Harris administration, arguing that the past four years represented a low point marked by radical ideology, government overreach, and national decline.

Kelly framed his remarks as a call to remember what he described as the reality of life under Joe Biden, contrasting it with the present moment and urging Americans not to lose perspective.

“Take a moment, take a moment and just breathe in how different things are now than they were,” Kelly said.

“Do not forget how horrible it was under Joe Biden.”

Kelly argued that Biden’s presidency allowed unelected ideological figures to wield power, claiming the former president was largely absent while others directed policy.

“We finally got to see what the communists really dreamt of doing in this country with total power, because Joe Biden was a cadaver, and so we sat in the corner and Victoria Nuland and Anita Dunn and all the dirty communists in the White House, they got to basically be president for four years,” Kelly said.

He accused the Biden-Harris administration of aggressively targeting conservatives and religious Americans, citing prosecutions related to abortion activism and the January 6 investigations.

“And we watched them,” Kelly said. “We watched them throw pro life pastors in prison as fast as they could. Hunt down January six, there’s over 1000 bragging they’re going to hunt down 1000 more.”

Kelly also criticized the administration’s border policies, claiming they led to a massive influx of foreign nationals and undermined national sovereignty.

“We watched them throw open the border and fly in as many filthy foreigners into this country as they possibly could get in here,” he said.

According to Kelly, these policies were part of a broader effort to dismantle traditional American institutions and values.

“We watched as they tore through every good and decent thing in this country,” he said.

Kelly further condemned the Biden-Harris administration’s embrace of LGBTQ policies and symbolism, arguing it damaged the country’s international standing.

“We watched as they lit the White House up in rainbow colors for LGBTQ Air Force month or whatever,” Kelly said.

“The stupid thing was, we had to suffer while they stuffed trannies in every realm of the government, making us the laughing stock of the planet.”

He described the four-year period as one of deep national suffering and moral decay.

“We suffered mightily for four years while the demented demonic freaks took over the United States of America and set about their evil ways,” Kelly said.

Despite his harsh assessment of the Biden years, Kelly acknowledged that current conditions are not without problems, but said the contrast is still worth appreciating.

“So right now, things may not be going perfectly,” he said.

“I’m more than willing to admit that, but I just want to take a moment every now and then and smell the friggin roses.”

Scott Bessent Details Why We Will See an Economic Boom in 2026

Scott Bessent said the recently passed tax bill is already reshaping the U.S. economy, driving a surge in capital investment by American businesses while delivering direct financial benefits to working families through lower taxes and higher take-home pay.

Bessent outlined what he described as the most significant elements of the legislation, emphasizing provisions that allow immediate expensing for business investments and extended incentives for factory construction.

“What we are going to see next year, that, if you think about the signature parts of the tax bill, I think that the powerful, the most powerful parts had the immediate expensing for American business, permanent for equipment, and then four or five year window for factories,” Bessent said.

He said those provisions have already triggered a major increase in capital expenditures and are expected to accelerate further as trade deals take effect.

“So we are seeing, already seeing, a CapEx boom. So 2025 was a CapEx boom. I think that is going to accelerate with all the trade deals we’ve done,” he said.

Bessent pointed to Boeing’s expansion in South Carolina as a concrete example of how the tax and trade policies are influencing corporate decisions.

“I was just about six weeks ago in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, Boeing, the largest employer there, is increasing their plant by 50% for the Dream liners, result of the trade deals, but it’s also part of the tax deal,” he said.

According to Bessent, the increased investment by major employers is expected to translate into job growth and higher wages for American workers.

“So we’re going to continue seeing this capex boom that turns into employment boom on the other side for working Americans,” he said.

Bessent said the legislation also reflects firm commitments made by President Donald Trump to working Americans, commitments that were treated as nonnegotiable during negotiations on Capitol Hill.

“The President I led the administration’s team up on the hill in terms of what was non negotiable for non negotiable for the President, and a lot of traditional Republicans didn’t like his campaign promises to working Americans, and the President never yielded on this,” Bessent said.

He listed several tax provisions that were preserved despite internal opposition.

“So no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans for American made cards,” he said.

Bessent noted that the bill, passed on July 4, applies retroactively, providing immediate benefits to both workers and businesses.

“So the bill was done on July 4. It’s retroactive to the beginning of the year for working Americans, retroactive to January 20 for corporates,” he said.

Bessent said the retroactive nature of the law combined with unchanged withholding levels is likely to result in unusually large tax refunds for many households.

“So working Americans. I also had the honor of being the IRS commissioner, and I can see that we’re going to have a gigantic refund year in the first quarter, because no one changed their working Americans did not change their withholding,” he said.

He predicted that many families could see substantial refunds when they file.

“So I think households could see, depending on the number of workers, $1000-$2,000 refunds,” Bessent said.

He added that once workers adjust their withholding going forward, they should see higher paychecks as well.

“They will change their withholding schedule at the beginning of the year, and they will get an automatic increase the in real wages,” he said.

Bessent said the combination of increased business investment and direct tax relief for individuals represents a powerful economic shift.

“So I think that’s going to be a very I think that’s going to be a very powerful combo of corporate and individuals,” he said.

Offshore Wind Projects Stopped as National Security Concerns Mount

Energy Secretary Doug Burgum said multiple offshore wind projects have been halted under President Donald Trump’s administration due to serious national security risks, high costs, and reliability problems, citing a newly completed classified report from the Department of War.

Burgum said the report focuses on how modern warfare has shifted toward drone-based threats and how massive offshore wind turbines can interfere with radar systems critical to detecting those threats along the East Coast.

“Well, Martha, this is a new, recently released, classified report completed by the Department of War that highlights really builds on the story you had just before this, which is Modern Warfare, is drone warfare, and the radar interference caused by these massive, gargantuan projects,” Burgum said.

He described the scale of offshore wind installations, noting that their size and movement create significant radar disruption.

“I mean understanding that a single one of these towers can be one and a half to times taller than the than the Washington Monument,” Burgum said.

“The blades themselves, the diameter the blades is bigger than the Statue of Liberty, two and a half football fields. These things are moving in 150 miles an hour.”

According to Burgum, ground-based radar systems are designed to detect movement, and offshore wind farms create blind spots that could be exploited in an attack.

“Our ground based radar is designed to pick up movement if you wanted to attack a population center on the east coast of our country, you would send a swarm of drones right through one of these wind farms,” he said. “That’s the basis of this understanding.”

Burgum said the administration has implemented a temporary pause on the projects while reviewing mitigation options, but emphasized that the concerns are substantial.

“As we said, we’ve got a 90 day pause. We’ve announced we’re happy to sit down and see if we can try to find mitigation,” Burgum said.

“But this is a real national security concern.”

He also pointed to opposition from multiple groups beyond national security officials, including fishermen, marine regulators, and environmental activists concerned about wildlife impacts.

“And as you also mentioned here, I don’t know that I’ve called these successful because we’ve got the Marine Fisheries, and the fishermen are opposed to these,” Burgum said.

“The people that love the whales are opposed to them because of the whale grounding.”

Burgum said offshore wind also fails on cost and reliability, calling it the most expensive form of energy currently being produced and dependent on foreign supply chains.

“And of course, consumers, if they understood the facts, this is the most expensive form of energy we’re producing, is offshore wind, and so it’s not reliable,” he said.

“It’s only works when the wind is blowing. It’s it is expensive, and of course, it depends on foreign suppliers, almost completely for this industry.”

He argued that a more affordable and dependable alternative already exists for the region, pointing to domestic natural gas production.

“And we have a solution in New England right there, which is natural gas from Pennsylvania,” Burgum said.

“Which would generate power five to 10 times more than all these five wind projects together.”

Burgum concluded by linking the administration’s energy approach to broader affordability goals for consumers.

“So we have a way to keep affordability into pricing for home heating and electricity in New England, just like we have in the rest of the country,” he said.

“Because President Trump’s policies are working.”
