Hooyah BUD/S class 364! It was an honor to hit the surf with these 25 men as they savored their last moment of Hell Week.
Hell Week is the 4th week of the 6 month BUD/S crucible. It is the true gut test that screens out candidates who might quit under pressure. It begins on a Sunday and ends on a Friday morning. This class started with a 115 students, and is now down to 25. Only in very rare cases does anyone quit training after Hell Week. They might be removed for other reasons, but they’ve proven that they’d rather put their body through immense suffering before they quit. After Hell Week, we actually start teaching them skills. It’s a waste of time to teach students SEAL skill sets before they’ve proven themselves in Hell Week.
My BUD/S class was 264. So class 364 is my centennial class, which is why I came out to see them secure Hell Week.
This is the first time I’ve actually seen anyone finish Hell Week outside my own experience back in 2006 (and again in 2007). You can see from the video how much pain these guys have endured. By the end, your body is chafed, frozen to the bone, swollen, and you’re hallucinating on top of that. I wonder if these guys will even remember I was there!
Those are some hard men. They are still well over a year away from becoming SEALs. There’s lots more training and challenges to overcome. But now we know that they have what it takes. Huge congratulations to these guys.

In case you forgot who Putin is, here’s a good reminder.

Don’t take this too seriously. It’s okay to laugh.
The Biden Administration shouldn’t be suing Texas — they should be thanking us and paying us back.
Today I joined @repjodeyarrington and a number of my colleagues in supporting Texas‘ ability to defend itself. Texas is having to do the federal government’s job because the Biden/Mayorkas open border policies have put us on the front lines of their crisis.
In Texas, we don’t just sit back and wait — we act. That’s what Gov. Abbott and the Texas Legislature have done. I support their efforts to defend the state and stop the influx of migrants that are crossing the border illegally. I will always stand to defend them against the administrations ridiculous legal challenges.
“Countries are not rich in proportion to their natural resources.”
Margaret Thatcher was a trailblazing leader whose words still resonate today. In this #SundayWisdom clip she highlights a fundamental truth: the success of a nation isn’t determined by its natural resources. It’s determined by the spirit of enterprise and innovation. This is what the American dream represents, and why we stand as a beacon of hope and prosperity to others.
Gone too soon. Praying for their families and loved ones. Never forget.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Hope the commercials live up to some good ol fashion Reagan humor.
Who are you rooting for?
Tonight, I voted to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas. Right after I filmed this video, that vote failed.
Impeachment is a political act, not a judicial one. We aren’t a court. Impeachment is our sole recourse for the people to remove a President or an official who has overwhelmingly lost the trust of the people. A lot of people claim there aren’t grounds to impeach Mayorkas because, technically, no crimes have been committed. But the Founders enshrined impeachment as a recourse for the Legislative Branch to remove those in the Executive Branch who aren’t doing their jobs — even if there’s no crime. It’s a feature of the checks and balances principle. That’s my interpretation of the impeachment authority. Other smart people disagree, and believe a provable crime must be committed. But if that’s the case – and there’s a crime committed – then wouldn’t we rely on the courts to enforce?
Mayorkas has abandoned his position as DHS Secretary. He has refused to execute his basic duties under the law and refused to enforce immigration law. Mayorkas will be impeached. This isn’t finished.

Great game. Congrats KC. Favorite commercial?
The EPA is trying to destroy manufacturing in America. No, I’m not being dramatic. Their actions are speaking for themselves.
Biden’s radical EPA is implementing standards that will hurt our economy and stifle American innovation while making us more dependent on China. In a hearing this week I questioned why these very policies and regulations harm American workers, give a boost to China and do nothing to improve air quality around the world.
Shoutout to the real ones. You know who you are.
Want to be more informed about how Biden’s EPA is trying to destroy manufacturing in America? Stay tuned — full video coming soon.

🚨 DROPPING TOMORROW 🚨 This is one of the most shocking podcasts I’ve ever recorded. This week, an ex-drug trafficker and former member of the Sinaloa Cartel joined me to discuss his life working in the drug trade. He gives insight into how drugs in Mexico are concealed and transported into the United States, and shares personal stories of the most terrifying moments working with the cartels. You won’t want to miss this episode. Listen to Hold These Truths with Dan Crenshaw on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
Last night I voted to impeach Mayorkas. Now it’s the Senate’s job.
Sweating it out with the Woodlands High School JROTC. Embrace the suck and remember… only socialists skip leg day.
“Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.”
Steve Jobs sharing the simple revelation that led him to revolutionize computers. And while I don’t agree that EVERYTHING was made by people no smarter than us (sorry Steve but there’s some damn smart people out there…), his broader point is worth embracing:
Don’t be a passive observer through life. Ask yourself why things are the way they are and challenge yourself to make them better.
“That was a scary moment for me — one of the biggest drug lords in the world was driving right by a police escort of 14 armored vehicles.”
Ex-drug trafficker and former member of the Sinaloa Cartel joins me to discuss his life working in the drug trade, and all of the shocking things he learned and witnessed. In this clip we discuss his scary realization on just how much power the cartel leaders hold, and the different kind of prison they commit their lives to in order to keep this power.
Listen now on Hold These Truths with Dan Crenshaw. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
Two years ago I released a documentary recapping my recent visit to the southern border, highlighting the crisis at hand.
When this documentary was created, Border Patrol agents detained nearly 100,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in February 2021 — marking the highest total for the month of February in 15 years. Just this January we saw more than 176,000 migrant encounters, breaking yet another record.
In this clip I highlight the part of illegal immigration that’s not talked about enough — how the cartels benefit from all of it.
The cartels have operational control of the border and make billions through smuggling migrants. Just this last August @bmelugin33 interviewed a migrant who paid cartels $10,000 to cross the border illegally. That’s pure cartel money. Biden’s open border policies are further funding the cartels — whether that’s through human smuggling or trafficking fentanyl into the U.S.
