<v Speaker 3>knife goes in Missouri Senator Junior No Missouri Junior Senator

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Eric schmich okay Now. Eric was speaking at the fifth

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Annual National Conservatism Conference in Washington, and he posed a question,

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 3>The question is what is an American? Would you like

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 3>to hear some of his answer, Let's listen.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 4>The Conninal Army soldiers dying of frost fight at Valley Forge.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 4>The Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 4>of Plymouth. The Pioneers striking out from Missouri for the

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 4>wild and dangerous Frontier. The outnumbered Kentucky settlers repelling wave

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 4>after wave of Indian war Band attacks from beyond the

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 4>stockade walls. All of them will be astonished to hear

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 4>that they were only fighting for a proposition. They believed

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>they were fighting for a nation, a homeland for themselves

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 4>and their descendants. They fought, they bled, they struggled, they died,

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 4>for us. They built this country for us. America in

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 4>all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 4>across the generations. It belongs to us. It's our birthright,

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 4>it's our heritage, our destiny. If America is everything and everyone,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 4>then it is nothing and no one at all. When

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>they tear down our statues and monuments, mock our history

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>and insult our traditions, they're attacking our future as well

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 4>as our past by changing the stories we tell about ourselves.

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 4>They believe they can build a new America with the

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 4>new myths, new people. But America doesn't belong to them.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 4>It belongs to us. It's our home. It's a heritage

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 4>and trusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 4>of life that is ours and only ours. If we disappear,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 4>then America too will cease to exist.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot there. Let's unpack. Let's discuss. If America

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 3>is everything and everyone, then it is nothing at all.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 3>If you listen to what I just played, Senator Schmidt

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 3>kept saying America doesn't belong to them, it belongs to us.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>He said, America is a nation and a people with

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 3>its own distinct history and heritage.

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>And interests.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Listen, man, there are some white people, I said, some

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 3>white people in this country who believe in white replacement theory. Okay,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't have time to tell you what white replacement

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 3>theory is, but it's the claim that white populations are

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 3>deliberately being replaced by non white people. Not to mention,

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>the Census Project back in twenty eighteen projected that white

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 3>people will become the minority by twenty forty five. Ever

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 3>since that came out, okay, the plan has been in

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 3>motion by some white people to ensure that don't happen.

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, I love putting on my tenfoil pooh shisty mask. Okay,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I love a good conspiracy theory. But when that Census

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>project came out, and prior to that, getting eight years

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>of a black president, then they turned around and almost

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>elected a woman.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Some white male said no way ho z literally, no.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Jose, no Julio, no one, no Jamal Okay, no, come

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 3>on out. Now. I see the headline. I see the

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>headline going around on Instagram. It says Eric Schmidt says

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>America is for white people only.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Now everybody is gonna run with that headline.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 3>And then Eric's gonna go on Fox News and say

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 3>the radical left is losing their woke minds. I never

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>said that, and he's right, he didn't. But here's the thing.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>He never said who us is? And that's the game. Okay,

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>when a politician leaves us undefined, it's because they know

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>exactly who they're talking to, and the people he's talking

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>to they know that messages for them as well.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And spoiler alert, if you're black, brown.

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 3>Legal, immigrant, LGBT, envy, Jewish, Muslim, chances are you not

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 3>in that either?

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay? You not in that us? All right, that's all Eric.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Schmidt just gave. Okay, he gave us. Are they not

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 3>like us? With absolutely zero seasoning?

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 3>What happened to America being conceived in liberty and dedicated

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 3>to the proposition that all men are created equal?

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>What happened to America being inclusive? I mean, it never

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>really was, but damn it, at least we was fake trying.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Now you got people like Eric Schmidt saying straight up,

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 3>this country is for us, and he's saying it over

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and over and over again. That's not inclusive, that's exclusive.

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 3>And when you're speaking at a national conservatism conference, forgive

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>us if we think us it's a sounding like shorthand

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 3>for white males only. Okay, By the way, no matter

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 3>how much you attempt to clarify this, it's gonna sound

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 3>like racially coded rhetoric straight out that we want segregation again,

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 3>starter pack. Okay, the US you talking about aren't the

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>ones who make the best tacos on Tuesday and jerk

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 3>chicken on Saturday.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he's talking about the.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 3>US that seasons food with a pinch of salt and

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 3>a pinch of prayer.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 3>If America is everything and everyone is nothing at all,

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 3>that's what he said.

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Didn't he say that? Can I hear that Poe again?

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 4>They believe they can build a new America with the

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 4>new myths, new people. But America doesn't belong to them.

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 4>It belongs to us. It's our home. It's a heritage

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 4>and trusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 4>of life that is ours and only ours. If we disappear,

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 4>then America too will cease to exist.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>That's not is that we have the other part? Oh well,

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>he had the line.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 3>He said, the line, if America is everything and everyone,

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing at all. If America is not everything and everyone,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 3>then it's nothing at all.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, When do will we.

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Realize that we are the good, the bad, and the ugly, Okay.

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>All wrapped in the one. That's what makes this That's

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>what makes this country great. Okay.

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>The hope for America is actually in our history, which.

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Is why I don't know why we keep trying to

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>hide it.

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's look at it, deal with it, and move forward.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay. You can't heal what you don't reveal.

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.799
<v Speaker 3>The melting pot that is America is what makes this

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 3>is what makes this country incredible.

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>The great American melting pot filled with a little bit

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 3>of everything is what makes this country amazing. And Eric,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 3>please don't gas like folks in backtrack on what you

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 3>said and tell us that you know we saw you

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 3>say something that you didn't say. Because when somebody keeps

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 3>saying America is for us but never tells you who us.

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Is, trust me, you already know who they talking about. Okay.

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 3>If it don't sound like it includes you, then it

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 3>probably doesn't. And that's why we got to call this

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 3>language what it is, coded racism wrapped up in patriotism. Okay,

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 3>America ain't supposed to be about us versus them. It's

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be about we the people. But some folks

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 3>like Eric don't want we. They just want us. And

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 3>anyone who doesn't want us together, well they don't believe

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>in America anyway at all. Please give junior Senator from

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Eric Schmidt. Now what if I keep staying that for

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Please give the junior Senator Eric Schmidt the biggest he hall.

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, it's for us. I'll thank you for that

<v Speaker 3>donkey to day.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>But never tell us who the US is. Now, what

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you know who they're talking about? Of course? Yeah. If

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it don't sound like it includes you, then they probably don't.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>That's all I'm saying. No, that's all I'm saying. All Right, Well,
