WEBVTT - Senator Eric Schmitt - December 11th, Hour 3 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.640 All right, news, round up, information, overload, our toll free. 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.520 Our number is eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.159 you want to be a part of the program. Not 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:13.200 only are we following this story the mysterious drones that 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.520 are the size of dining room sets flying all over 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.680 the state of New Jersey, nobody has any sense of urgency, 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.479 nobody knows where they came from. And of course, but 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.680 what we are being told repeatedly no evidence of a 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.440 threat to public safety. Yet they know nothing about it. 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.000 But they do know. They're sophisticated. They do know. The 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.480 minute that you put your eyes on them, they go dark. 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.919 Forty nine sightings and a day on Sunday. And here 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.320 it is Wednesday, and we have no answers at all. 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.840 And where's Biden and Harris and may Orcus and where's 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.920 our military? And this sounds like a potential threat. It 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.519 may end up being nothing. I don't know, but the 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.320 fact that we don't know is a problem. Anyway. Joining 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.040 us now to talk about this and much much more 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.240 is our friend Eric Schmidt, Senator, Great State of Missouri. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.560 Sir, how are you I'm doing great, Sean, how are 0:00:59.560 --> 0:00:59.880 you doing? 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.280 I'm good. Let's talk. We'll get to confirmation. Hearing is 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.199 we've got a lot, we got a lot to talk about. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.920 What is your take. I'm obsessed. I cannot believe the 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.480 lack of urgency regarding this drone issue. What are your thoughts? 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.039 I agree with Sean, And it's sort of a reminder also, 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.560 you know the Chinese spy balloon, it was sort of 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.959 like this paralysis. They weren't getting any information out there. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.679 It traversed across the continental United States, including over Whiteman 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.399 Air Force Base in Missouri, which is home to the 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.800 B two selth bomber. So that flight pattern was no accident, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.920 and they need to get to the bottom of it. 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.839 And if it's a threat or they're trying to gain intelligence, 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:39.520 they need to come down. They need to be shot down. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.119 So you know, we're searching for answers here on Capitol 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.400 Hill too, which is should tell you something. There's a 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.720 lot of a lot of incompetence. And also, Sean, it's 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.600 the reason why world leaders are going to marl Lago 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.880 right now. Joe Biden's been out to lunch for a 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.440 long time. Kamala Harris is on vacation. This is not 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.800 a good time for the United States of America's government, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.400 that's for sure. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.559 Well, I mean it's forty days, and it's like forty 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.240 days without any real leadership. And you know, we had 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.680 Congressman Jeff Vanrew we played it in the in the 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.959 last half hour of the program, actually suggesting that he 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.280 heard from good sources that it could be an Iranian drone. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.480 I don't have any any means of absourcing that or 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.440 backing it up, but that's what he's saying. And he's 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.880 a pretty credible congressman when you say. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.280 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And look, I serve on the Armed 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.120 Services Committee, so it's the highest you know clearance you 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.480 can have for you know, security clearance. And we've not 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.480 there's not been any communication, which is troubling, very. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.480 Troubling, and there's been a lack of urgency, which is 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.280 even more troubling. And you're right, we learned later that 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.080 the Biden administration knew it was a Chinese spy balloon, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.560 but they were hoping we wouldn't notice. And that spy balloon, 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.600 you know, all the way down through Alaska into the 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.440 continental US, all across the country, Ziggin and Zagon, all 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.320 over military bases, and it was a spy balloon, and 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.720 they were just hoping that nobody would notice instead of 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.600 just shooting that sucker down. And then their answer was, oh, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.640 we didn't want to hurt anybody on the ground. Well, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.600 there were plenty of times and opportunities to shoot it 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.600 down when there was zero population beneath where the spy 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.800 balloon was, and they didn't take advantage of it. And 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.600 then they said, oh, never mind, you know, then out 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.440 to the sea. But it was giving real time feedback 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.400 to the Communist Chinese. I will tell you this, whoever 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.040 is responsible for it, there will be consequences in forty 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.800 days that I know. On the way out, we see 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.840 a lot of maneuverings by the Biden administration seemingly designed 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:44.280 to muddy up the waters for Donald Trump. Why Joe Biden, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.320 who wouldn't allow Poland to give MiGs to Ukraine and 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:51.000 Zolensky and the beginning of the conflict there, you know, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.120 is now providing ballistic missiles so that and permission for 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.880 Zolensky in Ukraine to fire them into Russia, which has 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.040 resulted in high personic technology being used and a change 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:07.080 in nuclear policy nuclear strike policy by Putin and Russia, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.880 which is if you fire a ballistic missile into Russia, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.200 they have every right to nuke you. So tensions are 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:17.400 escalating there. Assad gets overthrown, and the first thing Joe 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.359 Biden does there is start firing missiles into Syria knowing 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.000 that Donald Trump wants a negotiated settlement in Europe. And 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.719 Donald Trump said, stay out of what's going on in Syria. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.320 That's their problem. You know, why would he be doing that? 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.560 Well, I think this is the last gas Sean of 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.880 a failed foreign policy of Joe Biden. And it didn't 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.920 start with Joe Biden, but it exists with Joe Biden 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.360 that doesn't fully recognize I think where the American people 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.120 wants to be and certainly what Donald Trump ran on, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.480 it's going to be a much more restrained foreign policy. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.640 We're going to have peace through strength, but it's going 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.200 to be less interventionist. But I think what's really scary 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.880 is that you take the Ukraine example, on their way out, 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.159 the American people delivered a verdict, but on their way 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.760 out sort of begging or or dating Vladimir Putin to 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.400 overreact to extend the conflict that President Trump wants to 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.960 solve and bring peace to that area. I mean, this 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.039 is but again I think they're trying to tie the 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.680 hands of President Trump. They're sending out, you know, twenty 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.920 billion dollars more on the way out. They're doing this 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.880 through a lot of agencies. But this is a dangerous 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.719 game to play. President Trump's been very clear Europe needs 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.240 to step up as relates to Europe. We need an 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.520 iron dome for America. We need to rebuild our industrial base, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.320 and we need to focus on our chief adversary, which 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.200 is China. That's pretty simple. People understand it. He ran 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.479 on it in a one in an overwhelming way. So 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.200 it's just, you know, it's it's shameful that President are Yeah, 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.600 that Joe Biden on his way out here is again 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.680 creating a more difficult situation. But here's the good news, John, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.559 and you know this, President Trump is ready. He is ready. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.279 I've been meeting with these cabinet nominees coming in. He 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.719 has a reform agenda, he is motivated, he won the 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.919 popular vote. He is ready to institute real reform in 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.279 this kind of you know, disruptive versus permanent Washington mantra. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.239 The American people bought into it, and he's going to deliver. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.359 Yeah, I definitely agree with that. You know how pathetic 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.840 was wink and Tony Blinken when finally, after all of 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.360 this time, and this became an issue during the campaign 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.159 because Kamala Harris would do nothing differently she'd said regarding 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:28.080 the exit, which was a disaster out of Afghanistan, and 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.480 now acknowledging that they screwed it up and thirteen people 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.240 didn't need to die. Here's what he said. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.839 Our thoughts are with all of the gold Star families. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.520 They're with the State Department, any of the employees who 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.400 lost their lives over the course of twenty years, of 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.479 most who are involved in Afghanistan. And I think today, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.479 especially of the thirteen heroes that we lost at Abbygate, 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.960 and I deeply regret that we did not do more 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.120 and could not do more to protect them. And to 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.160 those families who were here with us today, you're in 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.640 my thoughts, my prayers. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.120 Yeah. Really a little too little, too late for my 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.520 liking your tech. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.400 Yeah, I agree, it's a shame. I don't understand it. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.160 I mean, we can have policy disagreements about the direction 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.440 of the country, but acknowledging that mistake and trying to 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.920 make it right with the families. Should have happened a long, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.760 long time ago. It's probably the same reason, honestly, Sean, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.120 that they've not acknowledged and acknowledged Lake and Riley and 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.800 a lot of the people who have been victims of 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.400 violent crime because of the fifteen million illegal immigrants that 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.400 have flooded across the border, because they were trying to 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.720 pad their election stats. I mean, this is really shameful behavior. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.720 And you know, they wouldn't even meet with these folks. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.680 They would not even meet with these parents and these 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:44.400 family members. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:50.120 And these are Harris Biden, unvetted the illegals murdering, raping, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.480 committing other violent crimes against Americans. We have known terrorsts 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.320 in the country, gang members, cartel members, and they allowed 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.520 it all to happen. And they can't pick up a 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.600 phone when one of these unvetted illegals that they allowed 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.560 in kills an American number. Once did they pick up. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.480 Donald Trump picked up the phone. He called Joscelyn Nungary's family, 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.000 he called Rachel Morin's family, he called Lake and Riley's families. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.680 But there's thousands of other family victims because of this, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.960 and they kept saying no, the border is secure. The 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.760 border secure, they just lied to us. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.880 Yeah, don't believe your line eyes. And I do think 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.840 on day one you're going to see it. You're going 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.880 to see a flurry of executive orders, because we know 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.880 with those executive orders, President Trump had a forty five 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.439 year low and illegal immigration. Biden undid all of them 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.720 with ninety plus executive orders. On day one, President Trump's 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.199 going to come in and we're going to have a 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.480 secure border. No nation in the history of the world 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.760 has done this willingly opened it up to this kind 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.080 of thing. And the Democrats, I think, you know, those 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.560 four years, this sort of woke ideology, this open border's crowd. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.040 They weren't just writing white papers anymore, Sean. They were 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.240 in charge, and they had these disastrous policies that have 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.199 harmed American And I think President Trump's message of restoring 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.480 American greatness, having a secure border, being energy downin it 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.840 resonated because people love the country, they want us to 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.480 do well. This whole idea of apologizing for America America 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.080 is inherently racist, and all of these things that they've 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.920 been spouting and teaching school kids, the American people rejected 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.280 all of that, so a new day is coming, but 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.760 there's a lot of a lot of destruction and despair 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.120 that's been left in the wake of this current administration. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.520 Yeah, I'm guessing that you're against taxpayer funded sex change 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.360 operations for illegals and for convicts. I'm just guessing people. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.240 It is about ninety five percent of Americans. Yes, yes, Yeah. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.440 That was another genius idea of Kamala Harrison and one 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.160 of the reasons this is so important. You know, I 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.280 look at where we are as a country, and there's 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:54.640 so much to do and so much to prioritize. I 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.680 may be wrong, but I think what's going to happen. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.280 And I've been saying it, and I always say it 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.520 the same way. I start with or I end with. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.440 I pray to God that I'm wrong. Well, with known 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.480 terrorists that they have allowed into the country, I say, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.160 it's a matter of when. It's not a matter of 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:16.160 if we are we will be attacked. It will be terrorists, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.840 a terrorist attack on our homeland. I think it's one 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.400 hundred percent. Again, I pray to God, I'm wrong. Am 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:23.880 I wrong? 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.600 I feel the same way, but I will I will 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.600 point this out. The nine to eleven about ninety percent 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.080 of the difficulty, and those terrorists pulling that off was 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.720 getting here, getting here. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.800 They're already here, though, Senator No. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.199 No, no, that's what I'm saying. So the Biden administration 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.800 removed that degree of difficulty altogether. Right, So they just 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.640 let these folks in and we know they're here, and 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.079 then there's people we don't know are here that are 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.200 here who are terrorists. Right, So we just have the 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.000 known folks. There's a lot of folks that are unknown, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.280 and so I pray it doesn't happen either. But the 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.400 but you know, even Chris Ray, even Chris Rae, who 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.800 repinized that department and lost all credibility, has said he's 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.560 never seen these sort of red flags post nine to eleven, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.240 and Biden willingly led him in. 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.680 You know, he resigned today, and I'll tell you what 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.840 a wasted opportunity because after James Comy, he could have 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:19.160 restored the world's premier law enforcement agency to its former greatness, 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.200 and he allowed all of this law breaking to happen. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.720 You know, he was too busy, you know, investigating and 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.040 having his special agents investigate moms and dads at school 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.760 board meetings and peaceful pro life protesters for crying out 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.480 loud and of course going after anything and everything Donald Trump. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.480 And while he did that, he allowed all of these 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.760 unvetted illegal immigrants to come in. I mean, this is 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.120 beyond negligent. Then he'd go before Congress the last six 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.320 times that I can count that he was there talk 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.880 about the threat has never been this bad ever, And 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.120 I'm like, yeah, because you're not enforcing the law regarding 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:56.760 our borders. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.000 Yeah, they got to get back to law enforcement. They 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.280 have to restore credibility. They were going after parents under 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.079 the auspices of the Patriot Act literally as home grown 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.640 terrorists they were referring, And meanwhile they're terrorists streaming across 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.640 our border. You know, they're going after Catholics. Really weaponize 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.760 that department. I had a great visit with Pam Bondi 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.720 yesterday in my office. Pambondi is an excellent pick. She'll 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.280 be a great attorney general. You know, I know her 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.120 from State AG world. She's going to be great return 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.440 that you know, doj writ large back to going after 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.679 violent crime and protecting people's constitutional rights, which is what 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.360 it should be doing. Cash Betel is going to do 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.240 the same thing these folks are going to go in there, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.680 and I think they're going to be disruptors in a 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.160 good way. Root out the corruption, root out the politization 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.040 that's happened, and get it back to where it should be. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.199 But also, Sean, I think it's worth noting because the 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.560 American people saw it and they rejected this again too. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:48.960 Not only did you have the FBI, but you also 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.760 had the number three person at DOJ leave the office 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.120 and go to the New York office. You had the 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.880 number two prosecutor for the Alvin brad prosecution. You had 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.880 the number two prosecutor in Fulton County coordinating at the 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.480 White House. All these cases were dead, None of them 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.680 had any merit. They were all zombie cases. Biden gives 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.720 a speech in November twenty two when clear Trump's going 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.880 to run, and he says, there's no way President Trump 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.120 should ever be in the Oval office. Guess what, all 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.800 these things happen, These zombie cases are resurrected. You have 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.680 the worst, you know, political prosecution in American history. And 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.720 President Trump stood them all down. He stood them all 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.040 down and went into arenas big and small, all across 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.240 this country, thirty thousand people at a time, he made 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.680 the case. He almost took a bullet. I mean he did, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.600 but he almost died. He'd faced it all down. And 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.640 the American people rewarded that courage and bravery and a vision. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.520 And I think the next four years are going to 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.760 be glorious. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.000 I think they could be the most transformation all in history. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.760 If he just keeps his promises, if he restores law 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.600 and order and gets rid of defund dismantled NOBIL, if 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.040 he secures the voters, if he deports if we can 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:01.480 find them, the terrorist cartel's gang members, drug dealers, violent criminals, 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.280 if he if he can fix the economy, bring it 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.760 back to its greatness, get interest rates down, make us 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.920 the most energy dominant country on Earth. He's already restoring 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.880 America's stature on the on the world stage. Things have 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.640 changed just because he won. I can only imagine how 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.960 much better they'll get when he gets in office. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.320 Yep. And he also wants to reform these agencies. The 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.360 administrative state's gotten way too big. It needs structural reform. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.880 He's going to come in, He's going to change him. 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.040 No presidents ever really wanted to do that, Sean, because 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:35.520 the executive branch generally speaking, wants to ingrandize their power. Right. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.840 They and the founders knew that these you know, you 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.840 would try to be jealously guard your authority. They've continued 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.840 to grow it over time. It's too big, it's too 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.680 too unruly. But President Trump has a different incentive structure. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.280 He's not running again. He wants his legacy to beat 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.360 this kind of reform, and he's getting reformers in these 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.160 key positions who are going to shake things up. And 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.520 then we need that now more than ever. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.240 We appreciate you, Senator Eric Schmidt, eight hundred ninety four one. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.640 Shawn is on number.

This is true birth. Oh it's 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.240 true ouh it being true to himself. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.760 It shouldn't be that way. It wasn't supposed to be 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.600 that way. We were supposed to be on a steady, 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:11.320 if difficult, sometimes marched towards progress. And yet, just a 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.159 few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:21.040 time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere women's 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:26.160 rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtlely. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.679 But I want you to know that I am and 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.600 always will be a proud feminist. You will always have 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.880 an ally in me and in my government. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.119 Whytn't you resign in an appoint a woman. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.760 I mean, he's got there. Maybe he is a woman 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.919 who knows you know what I mean, although if he 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.439 was a true feminist he would shave his hair. 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.280 Is no bigger fan of the iron Lady, the former 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.000 Prime Minister of Great Britain, the late Prime Minister of 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:01.080 Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher than me, and it it's I 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.880 am no problem electing a woman to be the president 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:05.760 of our country. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.480 Well as an anti feminist. I want to let you 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:13.240 know I'm an anti feminist. I am an anti anything 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:17.280 based on gender or race. I think it's utter nonsense. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.080 You're against all identity politics. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.760 I just feel very strongly that if you cannot, it's 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.760 kind of like those shows and I don't watch them, 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 but my kids do, like The Voice or whatever where 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.800 they have like they don't turn the chair around until 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.080 they pick the person. Like if you just go in 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.720 blindly listening to someone, and if you can decide based 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.200 on merit reading about someone or listening to someone, then great, 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.080 that's awesome. But if I have to pick you because 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.199 you check a box and that box has anything to 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.520 do with you know, anything other than the meritocracy of 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.160 getting the job fairly, I want nothing to do with you. 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.919 Absolutely not. Let me tell you Kamala Harris didn't lose 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:01.040 because she was a woman. He lost because she is incompetent, 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:07.840 unqualified for the job, and her radicalism and extremism. That 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.680 enough said, little justin all right, let's get to our 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:15.080 busy telephones. Let us say hi to Gordon in the 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.240 United Socialist utopia known as California. My our prayers do 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:24.760 go out to the people in California wildfires again Malibu. 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.400 I know Pepperdine University is being threatened. It's a mess 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.320 out there, and I don't wish that on anybody. I 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.200 lived out there. I went back to Tana Barbara after 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.680 they had had a and I'd lived there five years, 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.040 and I went back and I saw the devastation I 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.800 mean of an entire neighborhood because of one of these wildfires. 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.200 And if you get Santa Ana wins included and it 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.160 got to help you anyway, Gordon, how are you sorry 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.280 about what's going on out there. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.520 I'm doing well, Sean, thank you for taking McCall. Hello, Linda. 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.640 And I like to say I live in the state 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:01.879 of Jefferson and knock out California. That's that's kind of 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.600 how we roll out here. So if you don't know 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.879 what state of Jefferson is, uh, I encourage you to 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.680 look that up. You know, one of your callers yesterday 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.800 just really, man, I tell you, just when you think 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.320 we're reaching the lowest of the low in this country 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.119 and then somebody calls in and tries to condone what 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.520 happened to Brian Thompson and my coincious condolences go out 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.280 to Brian Thompson and his family. I mean, it's you know, 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.159 I can't believe I have to say this, but you know, 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.119 you can't have a society where you walk up to 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.960 people on the street and murder them because you don't 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.280 agree with them, or work in industries that you that 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:40.760 you don't like. You know, I work in adult beverage 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.879 sales out here in in in state of Jefferson or 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.600 or California. I guarantee you I've sold hundreds of thousands 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.199 of cases over my career. I can Unfortunately, I can 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.880
