00:00:33.580Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:38.420Marxist rogue FBI agents and deep state actors running for the hills.
00:00:43.760Those same folks have worked to undermine democracy and persecute President Trump over the last nine years.
00:00:51.440Former FBI chief Andrew McCade on CNN this week says he's terrified of the return of President Trump to the White House and says that some FBI agents are even thinking of fleeing the country.
00:01:10.920I have a lot of conversations with former colleagues, people who are or were in the intelligence and law enforcement community and may have worked in, you know, the Obama administration and other places.
00:01:24.920And, you know, people are really trying to assess, like, what is life going to be like if Donald Trump wins a second term?
00:01:31.120And on a very personal level, I mean, these are torturous discussions with their family members about whether or not they have to leave the country to avoid being unconstitutionally and illegally detained.
00:01:43.660I mean, people are actually worried about being thrown in jail or grabbed in some sort of extrajudicial detention.
00:01:50.600And I think, you know, as crazy as this sounds in the United States of America, I think people should really consider that these are possibilities.
00:02:17.880The truth of the matter is these people need to be held accountable for all of the destruction of this country.
00:02:25.420A new piece out this week from the Wall Street Journal blockbuster reporting that behind closed doors, Joe Biden is even worse off than we see on camera.
00:02:34.640Sources close to the puppet president say he struggles to speak audibly at times and has to read off note cards to get through conversations.
00:02:44.600Even a stark contrast from his leading opponent, President Donald Trump.
00:02:50.400Our guest today is one of the nation's leading senators in holding the Biden administration to account.
00:02:56.640He's Senator Eric Schmidt of the great state of Missouri.
00:03:00.340And now, Senator Eric Schmidt, and I have to say thanks for being with us here today, and it's great to see you.
00:03:08.140I would just like to start with all that is going on here.
00:03:11.300I'm going to begin, if I may, with a takeout in the Wall Street Journal this morning.
00:03:16.160Center page, front, above the fold, all about Biden's incapacity to be in the job he now has.
00:03:24.900Your thoughts about the fact that both parties now are talking about his infirmity, his cognitive impairment.
00:03:33.460Well, I think it's obvious that he's in a diminished capacity.
00:03:38.160And I really don't, as a human being, I don't take any pleasure in pointing that out.
00:04:11.260I think it's the American people, you know, sort of underlying a lot of the polls with their dissatisfaction.
00:04:17.440There's an underlying kind of belief that he's not up to the job.
00:04:21.240And I think that's going to play out in November.
00:04:23.220The American people have made it pretty clear they're aware of his impairment.
00:04:27.600What is not clear is why the national corporate media are pretending that he is perfectly fine, no matter how many times he stumbles across a stage or up a ladder going on to Air Force One or loses his place in a teleprompter read.
00:04:46.980What do you think of the fact they won't even acknowledge that reality, let alone tell the truth on so many issues?
00:04:54.040Well, I think there's two reasons for it.
00:04:55.500One is journalism in many ways is dead.
00:05:00.040These have essentially become advocates with keyboards, and they're pushing the regime's narrative all the time.
00:05:07.340The second piece of that is Trump derangement syndrome.
00:05:10.200I think these folks are, you know, many of them are broken.
00:05:13.120COVID and Trump broke a lot of these people, and they can't conceptually put their minds around the idea that Donald Trump's going to be the 47th president of the United States,
00:05:23.160and they're willing to do anything, including hide information for the American people, is what sort of their job is, right, to speak truth to power.
00:05:32.180They won't do it because they're covering for Joe Biden because they want to, you know, they just despise President Trump so much.
00:05:38.300And the Trump derangement syndrome, I know that a lot of people, and perhaps yourself, consider that a real thing.
00:05:49.000I think of it as a device, a subterfuge on the part of the Marxist left in this country.
00:05:54.720As they talk about him, they gin up all sorts of disinformation, outright lies about this president and ignore entirely the fact that he was one of the most successful presidents in one term in American history.
00:06:13.420That's right. And not only do they deny the success that President Trump had and his administration had, it's also in many ways, Lou, an extension of their kind of disdain they have for real America, right?
00:06:32.440And in many ways, they're passing judgment on everybody who would support him or defend him or vote for him.
00:06:39.440I mean, it's the it's the basket of deplorables, right, that Hillary Clinton talked about.
00:06:46.620They they they they look down on people and, you know, places around from Missouri flyover country, right, where there's a lot of common sense.
00:06:54.140They just don't understand how people could support someone like President Trump.
00:06:57.780And so it plays out in so many different ways.
00:07:01.300I think that's just that's sort of a reality of the situation.
00:07:09.620I mean, one of the things social media has been good for is sort of exposing these so-called journalists like a ticket, Dan Rather, for example.
00:07:17.260I mean, this guy was presented to me, I'm 48, so growing up in the 1980s and watching, you know, whether it's a CBS Evening News or Nightly News or whatever, you know, when you didn't have the diffusion of information, when you watch this, you were presented that Dan Rather was like this objective journalist.
00:07:49.940One other point on that, I think that I think is worth making, because we're about to enter this phase of the campaign where all Joe Biden has is fear mongering and scare tactics.
00:08:02.160So getting back to this Trump arrangement syndrome, all they have left is to try to scare the bejesus out of the American people to say that, you know, President Trump's going to end democracy.
00:08:50.180And control and power is precisely what they're trying to preserve.
00:08:56.240President Biden, obviously, is nothing more than a puppet.
00:08:58.840And the Obama acolytes, perhaps Obama himself, who are gathered together to manage Joe Biden and the agenda, they don't want to lose that very safe enclave they've created at the White House.
00:09:16.140And at the top of our government, one of the most amazing frauds is Mayorkas, Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, saying that we've been doing a great job on the border.
00:09:30.760There is it's perfectly secure border, even as millions of illegal aliens were being invited into the country across that perfectly secure border.
00:09:38.980I think it may be more secure if you include the fact that Joe Biden turned that border over to the Mexican drug cartels for sex trafficking, deadly drugs, you name it, illegal aliens.
00:09:53.820But so now suddenly he is bragging about what he's going to do to secure the border with five months remaining in the year to Election Day.
00:10:04.760Give us your sense of what in the world he's thinking, his strategists are thinking, because it looks preposterous.
00:10:13.420Well, it strikes me if you draw some analogy, like an arsonist who sets a major building ablaze and then shows up to put out the fire with a garden hose.
00:11:56.840And the idea that he's going to have this executive order now that normalizes a million people a year, you know, at a minimum, a million people.
00:12:04.320And I think it's important to point out, Lou, historically, the policy of the United States of America among Republican and Democrat administrations typically was if you come here illegally, you're detained.
00:12:15.120And then you are deported unless you have a reason to stay that is recognized by the court system, like asylum.
00:12:23.680Nine out of 10 asylum claims are typically rejected.
00:12:31.800And so the cartels now know that they've got free reign to bring millions and millions of people here illegally and all the problems that come with that.
00:12:40.420And whatever this executive order does, it doesn't solve the problem.
00:12:43.940And it also, by the way, excludes people who come here by way of the app or unaccompanied children, which is insane because completely opens the door and keeps the door open, I should say, for the cartels to traffic kids.
00:13:00.340Yeah, it's to the point, this partnership between the Biden regime and the cartels.
00:13:06.200It's to the point now that one wouldn't be surprised to learn that Joe Biden is getting his customary 10 percent of all of the proceeds from trafficking, from illegal aliens, from deadly drugs.
00:13:19.400We're talking with Eric Smith, senator of the great state of Missouri.
00:13:23.780We're going to come right back as we continue the conversation.
00:13:43.020We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:13:47.880We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:13:53.320With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:13:59.460And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:14:05.120Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.
00:14:14.820And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:14:20.260This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications, including amoxicillin, Z-Pak and ivermectin for you to keep on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use.
00:14:30.880From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:15:05.780We're talking with Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri.
00:15:08.780And I just have to say, this is a moment in politics I didn't think any of us would be sharing, frankly, because to think we have an administration that has declared the American people to be their public enemy number one, the government itself is weaponized against Americans, at least of one party.
00:15:28.500And I don't hear the Republicans talking particularly aggressively about what we face here, which is a government weaponized, despite having the weaponized subcommittee.
00:15:40.180It's just we just don't seem to be hearing the Republican Party talk about how serious the assault is on America itself, our values, our heritage and our and our future.
00:15:53.600Well, listen, I think leadership requires sort of recognizing the moment that you're in, having the courage to speak out about it and then lead with some solutions right on how to fix it.
00:16:07.840And there is no doubt, Lou, we've we are not we're not arguing anymore with Democrats about what the marginal tax rate should be.
00:16:16.380Those are not the debates that we're really having in this country right now.
00:16:19.460The Democrats want to fundamentally change this country forever.
00:16:23.580And, you know, I mean, if they ever had power of both the Senate, the House and the presidency again, I mean, they have stated people are campaigning on this, by the way, which is to say that they would end the filibuster.
00:17:27.320Chuck Schumer just decided, yep, we don't want to do the trial.
00:17:31.220So they voted among party lines to not have a trial.
00:17:33.560Like, that's the level of control that they want to have and just blow away any norms or the Constitution or any laws that we have.
00:17:41.640I think you've articulated powerfully the motivation of the Marxist Dems who control the Democrat Party, a power control, of course.
00:17:53.340But I don't hear the motivation of the Republican Party in a rejoinder, a rebuttal, or just a response with some significant energy and purpose to what the assault is by the left.
00:18:09.460And if there were a time, to your point, these are extraordinary times in which we live.
00:18:15.560A critical election is before us five months out.
00:18:18.480And I just hear too little from the Republicans.
00:18:24.560Well, you know, I'm certainly trying to do everything that I can.
00:18:27.880It's one of the reasons why, again, look, there's one other example of this is this divisive and discriminatory DEI, right?
00:18:36.280They push it in the military, which has been, you know, a great meritocracy where people from any background or walk-alive can have ticker tape parades in New York because they're war heroes.
00:18:46.960And so I'm on the Armed Services Committee, the Secretary of the Navy.
00:18:50.040I said, listen, you're talking about, you know, you have, first of all, you fired 5,000 people who, because they didn't get the COVID shot, you're driving away recruits through this divisive DEI policy.
00:19:03.460And you're here to tell us that you don't think that has affected our readiness as a military.
00:19:07.480But, again, they're being captured by this ideology.
00:19:10.640And it's way more important than them to virtue signal and to act like they care more than to, you know, believe in and support the things that have made this country great.
00:19:20.800It is ultimately an assault on America.
00:19:46.020You know, you had OSHA, which was an agency created to make sure forklifts people with their backup, was trying to force a medical procedure on 100 million people.
00:19:54.360And if you didn't do it, you were going to be fired and lose your job and your livelihood and your family would suffer.
00:20:16.960We've got to be people who are going to fight back because we love this country and we want our kids to have the same opportunities that we had and live in a society where we value individual rights and not this collectivist mentality.
00:20:28.580We're talking with Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri.
00:20:34.000We are going to continue the conversation right after these quick words.

00:21:55.360We're back with Senator Eric Schmidt and Senator Fauci put on quite a performance this week before the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus, part of the House Oversight Committee.
00:22:09.700He was assailed for his lack of character and his presumptions to pursue, to your two words, power and control over NIH and the country's public health agencies and policies.
00:22:28.480Your thoughts about how he fared before that questioning in the House Committee?
00:22:35.120Well, I think the American people were reminded of what a total and complete fraud Anthony Fauci is.
00:22:41.920I mean, if there was a statue or if there was a Mount Rushmore of like, you know, these folks in COVID who were the real villains, I mean, Fauci's on there.
00:22:50.860And it's much deeper than people realize.
00:22:53.420As I mentioned, I filed that Missouri versus Biden lawsuit.
00:22:55.940We took the deposition of Anthony Fauci in that.
00:22:58.120So I saw it firsthand and behind closed doors in a deposition in that lawsuit.
00:23:22.940And then, of course, like literally a couple weeks later, they were going to, you know, prevent you from getting COVID, just like they told us the vaccine was going to prevent us from getting COVID.
00:24:47.860It was and they dismissed ivermectin, for example, which India used to great effect.
00:24:56.980It was probably what saved them a greater contagion.
00:24:59.900But the misinformation, the lies that came out of the medical community and the public health establishment and the public health agencies is there's never really been a finding as to how bad it was.
00:25:16.400And no one, to my knowledge, to this day, has been held accountable.
00:25:24.340Yeah, I think, you know, if Republicans take the Senate, one of the things we ought to do, we ought to have a January 6th-like committee on COVID.
00:25:34.740And people ought to be held accountable.
00:26:02.680And if you dared to question the regime's narrative, you were ostracized.
00:26:06.300People lost their medical licenses, right?
00:26:08.980The whole idea, I mean, Fauci proclaimed to be the science.
00:26:12.480Science requires constantly challenging assumptions, constantly, you know, testing and retesting and challenging and not accepting things and moving forward.
00:26:23.940Not saying, you know, just everybody being ostracized or censored because they had a dissenting view.
00:27:59.060We know that the Chinese have been funding some of the protests, pro-Hamas protests.
00:28:05.040We know further that we have a real problem in this country on our campuses because the university leadership, chancellors, presidents, boards of trustees, you name it, were slow to, in almost every instance, slow to react, to respond.
00:28:22.840And we've got a real problem because, at the same time, the Biden administration is attacking free speech like no other, including Barack Obama.
00:28:33.500Our establishment universities and academia are just sitting there, it seems, hogtied, paralyzed by the prospect that they might be considered somehow retro or regressive by their peers to actually say, you know, genocide is a bad idea.
00:28:54.860Well, and I, you know, people that have been paying attention to this shouldn't be all that surprised about the anti-Semitism that took hold or has taken hold of on college campuses and beyond.
00:29:09.140If you push this divisive DEI ideology, which is what's happened, and now it's in grade schools with critical race theory, it's all under the umbrella of this cultural Marxism that seeks to divide people by race.
00:29:34.720I mean, it didn't really work in this country from an economic perspective as they pushed this ideology because people still believed that, you know, you could come from any walk of life and achieve great things.
00:29:44.400So this idea of merit ultimately took hold, right?
00:29:49.400Well, if you try to undercut the underpinnings of that, right, and that your success depends solely on your race or your failures solely on your race, I mean, you help destroy all of that and the idea of America.
00:30:46.220The idea that we have a mission statement in the Declaration of Independence, that all people are created equal, and we're always constantly trying to live up to this, and that you can achieve, you can pursue your dreams, that we believe in individual rights.
00:30:58.920And our Constitution creates a framework for protecting dissenting views and, you know, the separation of powers, which diffuses power to protect us from this aggregation of power.
