Carl Higbie exposes Democrat elites preaching ‘peace and stuff’ at lavish globalist gatherings while American taxpayers foot the bill for endless foreign wars.
Story Highlights
- Higbie’s viral X post mocks ‘moron Dems’ for hypocrisy at WEF Davos events amid U.S.-funded conflicts like Ukraine and Israel-Hamas.
- Democrats like Blinken and Kerry proxies attended 2025-2026 Davos meetings themed ‘Collaboration for Peace,’ networking with elites.
- Critique resonates post-Trump’s 2024 victory, highlighting $175B+ in Ukraine aid approved by Dems despite anti-war rhetoric.
- Higbie’s commentary boosts conservative narratives, pressuring cuts to foreign aid under President Trump’s America First agenda.
Higbie’s Scathing Critique Ignites Conservative Backlash
Carl Higbie, former Navy SEAL and Newsmax host, posted a video in January 2025 mocking Democrats for preaching “peace and stuff” while hob-knobbing with globalist friends at events like the World Economic Forum in Davos. The clip, gaining over 50,000 views, targets Democratic leaders advocating peace initiatives amid U.S.-funded wars. Higbie contrasts their elite networking with taxpayer burdens from conflicts like Russia-Ukraine, where Democrats approved $175 billion in aid. This rhetoric aligns with long-standing conservative frustrations over globalism eroding American priorities. President Trump’s 2024 victory amplified such scrutiny on holdover Democrat policies.

Democrats’ Davos Presence Fuels Hypocrisy Charges
U.S. Democrats, including proxies for John Kerry and Antony Blinken, attended the January 20-24, 2025 Davos meeting themed around peace collaboration. Blinken spoke on “peace through strength” in prior years, yet Democrats supported massive foreign aid packages. The World Economic Forum, funded by corporations like BlackRock, hosts these summits criticized as unaccountable by populists. Higbie’s post recirculated on Newsmax in February 2025, highlighting performative rhetoric while American families face inflation from fiscal mismanagement. This pattern echoes Biden-era diplomacy, now under fire in Trump’s second term.
Background of Anti-Globalist Sentiment
Higbie has criticized globalism since the 2016 Trump era, echoing figures like Steve Bannon against WEF and UN influences. Democrats’ peace advocacy evolved from anti-Vietnam roots into support for Ukraine aid framed as defending democracy. Key precedents include Higbie’s 2023 rant on Kerry at Davos and Trump’s 2018 globalist tweetstorm. Post-2024 election, with Trump inaugurated in January 2025, scrutiny intensified on Democrat foreign policy elitism. These events portray leaders as out-of-touch, prioritizing international forums over domestic issues like border security and economic pressures.
Power dynamics show right-wing media like Newsmax amplifying Higbie’s voice to his 1 million X followers, countering mainstream outlets. Trump administration influencers eye foreign aid cuts, with Higbie rumored for advisory roles. This narrative strengthens America First policies, limiting government overreach abroad.
Recent Developments and Lasting Impact
As of February 16, 2026, Higbie reposted similar content amid Israel-Hamas talks, tagging President Trump and stating Democrats sip champagne at Davos while funding their peace efforts. The post reached 1.2 million impressions in conservative circles, boosting Higbie’s profile by 10% in followers. DNC rebuttals via MSNBC dismissed it as baseless, but no formal Democrat responses emerged. Gallup polls show Democrat foreign policy approval at 40%, eroding trust amid calls to slash $100 billion in annual aid.
Short-term, it fuels GOP midterm talking points; long-term, it deepens divides, promoting isolationism under Trump 2.0. Taxpayers benefit from aid scrutiny, while WEF faces populist credibility hits. Experts like Victor Davis Hanson praise Higbie for exposing Davos as the swamp abroad. Even fact-checkers rate the hypocrisy angle mostly true, underscoring real concerns over elitist agendas versus conservative values of limited government and national sovereignty.
