In a live Saturday wrap-up, Barbara Boyd discuss the ongoing Munich Security Conference and argue it functions as a gathering for “deep state” and globalization-aligned figures. Barbara and Adam note the conference theme “Under Destruction” and highlight that multiple prominent Democrats attended and criticized President Trump while in Europe, citing remarks attributed to senators including Tom Tillis, Roger Wicker, Sheldon Whitehouse, Richard Blumenthal, and Chris Coons.
The episode plays clips of Gavin Newsom speaking about climate policy and AOC discussing working-class politics, which Boyd interprets as signaling a Democratic strategy to portray Trump as controlled by billionaires. The hosts then focus on Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech at the conference, quoting extensive portions where he criticizes post–Cold War assumptions about a borderless, rules-based global order, deindustrialization, mass migration, and climate policies.
