I am not yet tired of winning. The winning just continues. 

I am truly enjoying the staffing of the new Trump administration so far. According to the Wall Street Journal, there are a couple of picks that have been made. One has been announced: Florida GOP Representative Mike Waltz, a Green Beret veteran, to be White House national security adviser. The Journal also reported that President-elect Trump is expected to nominate Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as Secretary of State.

President Trump is moving fast. He is staffing professionally. He’s finding people who are loyal to the Trump vision, the “peace through strength” vision.

President Trump was on this show two weeks before Election Day, and I specifically asked him about his foreign policy. He said repeatedly that peace through strength is his foreign policy.

That’s what over 75 million Americans voted for: Trump’s peace through strength.

Trump’s picks are going to do his bidding in the foreign policy realm; they will reinforce his Trump doctrine, which is, “Cross this line and I will punch you so hard in the face you will not want to do it again.” 

That is the Trump doctrine and it is a great doctrine, an excellent foreign policy doctrine, which is why we had four years with no wars. Contrary to certain popular opinions, war is only prevented by preparing for war so you don’t have to do it. That is the actual way that you prevent war. 

Submission and cowardice were tried with Joe Biden. It didn’t go particularly well.

Donald Trump does precisely the reverse. As I said on Fox Business, President Trump is the best foreign policy president of my lifetime, bar none.

WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show

Marco Rubio entered with the Tea Party wave back in 2010, and then ran for president against Donald Trump in 2016.

Trump has a unique capacity to let bygones be bygones, which is why, of course, despite the fact that JD Vance said some unkind things about him back in 2016, Vance is his vice president. Rubio has proven himself to be a formidable asset on the campaign trail; he was loyal to President Trump’s vision and was an early Trump endorser in the primaries.

Not only that, Rubio has proven himself on foreign policy. He’s on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he’s great on television, and he knows all the players. In one instance, he was walking down a hallway being harassed by a pro-Hamas heckler from Code Pink.

It didn’t go well for the heckler:

Heckler: Senator Rubio, will you call for a ceasefire?

Rubio: No, I will not. (turning to someone accompanying the heckler) Are you filming this? I want you guys to get this. (turning back to heckler) I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes. And I hope you guys post that.

Heckler: What about the civilians killed every day?

Rubio: I blame Hamas. Hamas should stop hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in the way. Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this, so Hamas should stop building their military installations underneath hospitals.

Heckler: So you don’t care that 15,000 died. You don’t care about the babies that are being killed every day.

Rubio: Absolutely I care. I think it’s horrifying. I think it’s terrible. I think Hamas is 100% to blame. That’s what I think. Make sure you post that, please.

Rubio has also said that if you come to the United States on a visa and you proceed to spew anti-American, anti-Semitic nonsense, you should be gone.

He stated on the Senate floor: 

What I am saying is common sense. You’re a visitor. You are not even American. You’re a foreign national. You’re here because we gave you a visa to be here temporarily, and now you’re out there defending and supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization? You need to go. That’s what this resolution asks the administration to do. I hope we can get a vote on it in the Senate, so everyone will know where everyone here stands.

Rubio is repeating the Trump line with regard to Ukraine, which, contrary to popular opinion, is not that the United States is going to cut and run from Ukraine.

Trump does not like losing. He likes to win, as we have noticed. And what does that mean?

It doesn’t mean endless war in Ukraine. What it means is that the United States supports Ukraine sufficient to prevent a Russian invasion of Kyiv, but also looks for an off-ramp with Putin settling the lines where they are already settled. That is what the deal has looked like since 2022.

Rubio pointed out that the Biden administration had no plan in Ukraine, saying:

If you ask the Biden administration, they will tell you we are funding a stalemate. I think the Ukrainians have been incredibly brave and strong in standing up to Russia. But at the end of the day, what we are funding here is a stalemate war, and it needs to be brought to a conclusion because that country is going to be set back 100 years. Now, that doesn’t mean that we celebrate what Vladimir Putin did or are excited about it. But I think there has to also be some common sense here, and that is that right now what we are funding is a stalemate that’s costing lives. It’s going to take 100 years to rebuild that poor country with everything they are facing now.

He is not wrong about that. And that is why President Trump is attempting to seek an offramp there.

MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+

Mike Waltz has been a bulldog on national security. Waltz slammed Secretary of State Antony Blinken to his face in a hearing, saying:

Mr. Secretary, I have here the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the invasion of Ukraine, the unholy alliance between Russia and China, Hamas and Hezbollah attacks on Israel, Houthi attacking international shipping, hostages in Gaza, Iran flush with cash, the reemergence of ISIS-K now six thwarted attacks in Europe, increased Chinese aggression and the collapse of our influence in central Africa … You’re going to tell the American people with this list they’re safer?

Peace through strength.

Trump means it.
