Carl Higbie didn’t mince words on Thursday when he ripped into the Nobel Committee’s double standard and made the blunt case that President Donald Trump deserves serious consideration for the Peace Prize. Patriots are tired of elites handing out awards on the basis of symbolism and virtue-signaling, and Higbie rightly called that out on his show where he fights for the truth every night.
Let’s be honest: Barack Obama’s 2009 Nobel was always more about optics than outcomes, handed out after nine months in office as a global pat on the head rather than a recognition of concrete, lasting peace. The Nobel Foundation’s own citation praised diplomacy and hope, but millions of Americans watched skepticism grow as the accolade proved wildly premature to many observers.
Contrast that with the recent, tangible diplomacy on President Trump’s watch — from brokering agreements in volatile regions to drawing leaders to the table over wars that have dragged on for years — and the case for awarding a real peacemaker becomes undeniable. International leaders, including Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and even Malta’s foreign minister, have publicly nominated or praised Trump’s role in deals and negotiations, underscoring that this is not just conservative wishful thinking but recognition from those on the ground.
Higbie’s plea is a wake-up call: if the Nobel is supposed to honor those who save lives and settle conflicts, we should stop pretending that pompous, politically convenient gestures count as peace. Hardworking Americans know the difference between fleeting rhetoric and results that keep sons and daughters out of harm’s way; it’s time institutions like the Nobel Committee stop playing favorites and start rewarding outcomes.
The Norwegian committee can either continue bowing to the fashionable narrative-makers in Oslo, or they can restore some credibility by recognizing genuine achievement — not celebrity or political theatrics. Conservatives will continue to defend the truth, demand accountability for the awards and the standards they profess to uphold, and cheer on anyone who actually delivers peace instead of empty spectacle.
