President Trump’s safety is once again a news flash nobody asked for, and Carl Higbie isn’t holding back. On his show he raised alarms about the FBI reportedly thwarting another attack on President Trump at the UFC White House event — and used the moment to make a blunt claim: a faction of “rabid leftists” would rather take Trump out than beat him at the ballot box. That charge is meant to sting, and it should. Our politics can’t survive if losing elections becomes an excuse for violence.
What happened at the UFC White House event?
According to reports discussed on Newsmax, the FBI stepped in to stop another threat aimed at President Trump during a public UFC event at the White House. Details are still thin in mainstream coverage, which is part of the problem — when the public gets partial facts, rumor fills the gaps. Whether the threat was well-organized or the work of a lone actor, the takeaway is the same: public events with high-profile political figures are soft targets unless law enforcement is fully on top of security. Anyone who thinks this is merely theater is ignoring the danger.
Why ‘rabid leftists’ is more than a sound bite
Carl Higbie called the attackers “rabid leftists” — a harsh phrase, but not without context. We live in a political era where parts of the left openly cheer for aggressive tactics, rhetorical or otherwise, against conservatives. When ideology replaces persuasion, the only tools left are intimidation and shut-down. If a movement can’t win votes, as Higbie said, it sometimes tries to win by other means. That would be a catastrophe for democracy, and conservatives should call it out plainly rather than sugarcoat it for the sake of civility theater.
FBI, media, and the double standard
Here’s the part the mainstream press likes to forget: how law enforcement and media react depends on who’s in the crosshairs. Conservatives know the pattern — a threat against a liberal figure gets fierce headlines, while threats against conservatives get careful hedging and “both sides” takes. If the FBI truly neutralized a threat to President Trump, it’s good law enforcement work. But voters have a right to know what happened and why it keeps happening. Secrecy breeds suspicion, and suspicion breeds resentment — which is exactly the fuel that keeps extremes alive.
What conservatives should demand
Conservatives should do three things now: demand transparency about security failures and successes, push for even-handed law enforcement that prosecutes political violence regardless of the target, and resist the temptation to answer violence with more violence. Call out extremists on the left when they’re violent, and hold the media accountable when they downplay it. If you want to change minds, win elections — and if you can’t, you don’t get to take the courthouse into your own hands. That’s not tough talk; it’s the only sane way forward.
Closing thoughts
America’s politics are fierce, but they don’t have to be fatal. If the FBI did indeed stop another attack on President Trump at the UFC White House event, tip your hat to the agents — then press for answers. Let Higbie’s blunt language be a warning: when losing becomes unbearable, people can turn dangerous. We should all be alarmed at that possibility, and insist our leaders and institutions act to prevent it. Because winning arguments is a civic duty; winning by force is a crime.
