I want to get
00:00:09.165 --> 00:00:10.400
To senator eric schmidt because he's been, he made some time
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.703
For us this morning, and want to honor that.
00:00:13.703 --> 00:00:16.739
Welcome to the show, senator schmidt.
00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:18.942
Thank you so much for making the time.
00:00:18.942 --> 00:00:20.510
I know you're kind of juggling,
00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:21.678
All kinds of obligations over there.
00:00:21.678 --> 00:00:24.447
So you tweeted something yesterday, and
00:00:24.447 --> 00:00:27.684
I just think it's absolutely,
00:00:27.684 --> 00:00:29.519
Fundamentally important to the republic.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.288
It's called the scam act, especially after the events
00:00:32.288 --> 00:00:35.492
That unfolded yesterday.
00:00:35.492 --> 00:00:37.260
Please tell our audience about it
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:38.995
And why they should support it. because i'm all in.
00:00:38.995 --> 00:00:41.631
Yeah.
00:00:41.631 --> 00:00:42.632
Look, we we've effectively closed the border.
00:00:42.632 --> 00:00:44.367
That's great success.
00:00:44.367 --> 00:00:45.802
I think the mass migration needs to be met
00:00:45.802 --> 00:00:48.138
With mass deportations.
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:49.639
So there's 15 million people here
00:00:49.639 --> 00:00:51.641
That came here
00:00:51.641 --> 00:00:52.442
Illegally when the joe biden era
00:00:52.442 --> 00:00:54.110
And those deportations will continue.
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.513
But we also,
00:00:56.513 --> 00:00:57.747
I think, need to do something beyond that, which is, begin
00:00:57.747 --> 00:01:00.750
To expand the category of people that can be naturalized,
00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:04.721
And sent back home.
00:01:04.721 --> 00:01:06.322
You look,
00:01:06.322 --> 00:01:07.357
If you come to this country, you commit fraud,
00:01:07.357 --> 00:01:08.491
You commit a violent act, an act of terrorism.
00:01:08.491 --> 00:01:10.793
We should have the ability in my bill to scam, act
00:01:10.793 --> 00:01:13.897
With a ten year look back to naturalize you and
00:01:13.897 --> 00:01:17.200
Get you the [] out of here. that's how i feel about it.
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.269
And you can tell with the incidents in austin,
00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:22.572
Old dominion, the new york team got ten
00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:24.841
Guys who were, you know, throwing bombs.
00:01:24.841 --> 00:01:27.143
The, the michigan synagogue yesterday, the guy was natural
00:01:27.143 --> 00:01:30.847
Naturalized.
00:01:30.847 --> 00:01:31.481
He was from, lebanon.
00:01:31.481 --> 00:01:33.483
So there ought to be a process
00:01:33.483 --> 00:01:35.118
Because right now a lot of people don't know.
00:01:35.118 --> 00:01:36.719
It's just very difficult.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:37.754
You almost have to commit
00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:38.988
Fraud in the inducement fraud at the moment that you are,
00:01:38.988 --> 00:01:42.926
Applying to become a citizen.
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.961
And of course,
00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:46.162
With that process, you know, you you, you sort of pledge
00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:49.232
Allegiance to the country.
00:01:49.232 --> 00:01:50.433
There's sort of a loyalty test there that's very important.
00:01:50.433 --> 00:01:52.902
But when people come here and they abuse the system
00:01:52.902 --> 00:01:55.772
Like that, we ought to be able to naturalize them.
00:01:55.772 --> 00:01:58.474
I filed this originally.
00:01:58.474 --> 00:01:59.609
Andrew, in the wake of the minneapolis somali fraud scam.
00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:04.380
Right? yeah.
00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:05.515
Because people had come here, they fleeced americans,
00:02:05.515 --> 00:02:09.018
And they were recently naturalized citizens.
00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:11.854
And we ought to be able to naturalize them.
00:02:11.854 --> 00:02:13.323
And that incident and then, of course, with terrorism, too.
00:02:13.323 --> 00:02:15.925
Well, you know, that's exactly what i thought about,
00:02:15.925 --> 00:02:18.661
You know, we have a problem now, that is not going
00:02:18.661 --> 00:02:21.931
I don't think you can
00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:23.066
Address it, actually, because a lot of these are sons
00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:26.369
And i guess daughters, but mostly sons that are doing
00:02:26.369 --> 00:02:28.972
The terrorism of immigrants.
00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:30.740
So, for example, those two young men in at
00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:34.377
Gracie mansion in new york city,
00:02:34.377 --> 00:02:36.179
Those are,
00:02:36.179 --> 00:02:37.013
You know, kids that have grown up here
00:02:37.013 --> 00:02:38.715
That have gotten radicalized from, you know, online.
00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:40.950
But it's
00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:42.185
We naturalized their parents, radicalized by their mother,
00:02:42.185 --> 00:02:44.053
Their fellow man. exactly.
00:02:44.053 --> 00:02:45.688
By the way, wasn't it wasn't it actually interesting,
00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:48.691
That image.
00:02:48.691 --> 00:02:49.926
You've got some white liberal out there with a megaphone,
00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:53.830
You know, protesting, saying everybody is welcome kind of
00:02:53.830 --> 00:02:56.966
Whatever the whatever the woke slogan he was chanting.
00:02:56.966 --> 00:03:00.270
And then two guys to, you know,
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:03.573
Terrorists essentially leap over him to throw bombs.
00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:06.442
I mean, it is kind of actually indicative of the problem,
00:03:06.442 --> 00:03:09.812
This sort of toxic or suicidal empathy that the left has.
00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:14.083
They're willing to destroy our country to, you know, kind of
00:03:14.083 --> 00:03:17.587
Fill some hole in their own heart.
00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:19.122
I don't it's it's dangerous for our country.
00:03:19.122 --> 00:03:21.557
And that's my concern. i, i totally agree.
00:03:21.557 --> 00:03:24.093
I want to play this clip here.
00:03:24.093 --> 00:03:25.094
This is from november 2025.
00:03:25.094 --> 00:03:28.097
Nick, shirley was talking to some of these
00:03:28.097 --> 00:03:30.233
Young men that have been radicalized
00:03:30.233 --> 00:03:31.567
Right here at home, right here in dearborn, in other places.
00:03:31.567 --> 00:03:35.571
Cut one.
00:03:35.838 --> 00:03:36.906
Now you have all these islam men, young all over.
00:03:36.906 --> 00:03:39.442
Oh, i have a question for you guys.
00:03:39.442 --> 00:03:41.811
If america are again at war
00:03:41.811 --> 00:03:43.279
With someone with a country like iraq,
00:03:43.279 --> 00:03:44.947
Who would you guys defend, america or iraq?
00:03:44.947 --> 00:03:47.450
We will, we won't, we won't get a war
00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:49.352
That's not permissible for us.
00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:50.687
But at the same time, who would you defend
00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:53.089
As one of our brothers?
00:03:53.589 --> 00:03:55.358
Not right. that's the only way.
00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:57.226
So you were defending america? we were not even america.
00:03:57.226 --> 00:03:59.595
Oh, you're mad, but you listen at the same time.
00:03:59.595 --> 00:04:02.665
America is our country to avoid it.
00:04:03.399 --> 00:04:05.635
But in our islamic book, we're not allowed to fight
00:04:05.635 --> 00:04:08.771
The people that are against our religion.
00:04:08.771 --> 00:04:10.807
So we just take off the jail time.
00:04:10.807 --> 00:04:12.575
So you and i, we do. so you not go.
00:04:12.575 --> 00:04:15.044
I would go to jail.
00:04:15.044 --> 00:04:16.646
And somebody from our.
00:04:16.646 --> 00:04:17.714
Those are your fellow citizens.
00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:20.650
I don't even know what to make of it because
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.352
Because our immigration system has been so stupid
00:04:22.352 --> 00:04:25.788
For so long that this is this is the fruit.
00:04:25.788 --> 00:04:29.225
Yeah.
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:30.093
We don't have just a i think
00:04:30.093 --> 00:04:31.594
I think i've been saying you guys have been saying it.
00:04:31.594 --> 00:04:34.464
I know charlie would say we didn't.
00:04:34.464 --> 00:04:36.299
We don't have just an illegal immigration problem.
00:04:36.299 --> 00:04:38.568
We have illegal immigration problem.
00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:40.370
And i'll give you two examples.
00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:42.038
The h-1b program, which is being used by,
00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:46.042
By corporate interest, essentially to displace
00:04:46.042 --> 00:04:49.379
American workers.
00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:50.346
The biggest lie that was ever told was that
00:04:50.346 --> 00:04:51.981
We didn't have american workers could do these jobs.
00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:53.883
By the way, these are like computer tech jobs, right?
00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:56.953
And so what they'll do is and microsoft
00:04:56.953 --> 00:04:58.988
Did it just a few months ago,
00:04:58.988 --> 00:05:00.590
They literally lay off thousands of american workers,
00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:04.160
Not because they don't have workers to do the jobs.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.162
Those are the ones they're firing to import foreign labor
00:05:06.162 --> 00:05:09.732
That's cheaper and more compliant.
00:05:09.732 --> 00:05:11.434
Because in order to be here,
00:05:11.434 --> 00:05:12.802
The company has to attest for their temporary visa.
00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:15.838
Meanwhile, the american workers have to suffer
00:05:15.838 --> 00:05:17.840
The humiliation of training their foreign replacements,
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:20.676
Whose only skill they have that they don't have
00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:22.979
Is that they're willing to take less money.
00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:24.614
The other one is the opt out program,
00:05:24.614 --> 00:05:26.983
Which has become like a visa mill
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:28.551
For universities, guys, where they bring in foreign students,
00:05:28.551 --> 00:05:32.155
Display american students in the universities,
00:05:32.155 --> 00:05:35.158
Go along with it because they get full freight,
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:37.093
They pay full tuition and more,
00:05:37.093 --> 00:05:39.061
As opposed to an in-state tuition for an american kid.
00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:41.831
And then companies that hire them for a year or two
00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:44.934
Get the benefit of not paying taxes on that worker.
00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:47.904
So we have a legal immigration problem in the sense
00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:50.239
That we're encouraging and creating incentives
00:05:50.239 --> 00:05:52.442
For american workers and students to be displaced.
00:05:52.442 --> 00:05:54.644
And we have to change that.
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:56.045
I want to play a couple clips from charlie himself
00:05:56.045 --> 00:05:58.381
Talking about this, about fixing legal immigration.
00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:02.952
Play, play.
00:06:03.286 --> 00:06:04.353
Sot ten
00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:05.254
We must be unafraid to tell the truth
00:06:05.254 --> 00:06:06.956
About legal immigration.
00:06:06.956 --> 00:06:08.491
Stop at net zero immigration moratorium,
00:06:08.491 --> 00:06:12.061
And be unafraid of the words that they will call us,
00:06:12.061 --> 00:06:15.031
Because our greatest cities are being conquered.
00:06:15.031 --> 00:06:17.366
The future.
00:06:17.366 --> 00:06:18.501
The energy is going to be on.
00:06:18.501 --> 00:06:20.770
Who do we legally let into america?
00:06:20.770 --> 00:06:24.874
That is the question.
00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:26.609
Zeke was all over this. yep.
00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:29.111
One minute to you, senator.
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:31.013
Yeah.
00:06:31.013 --> 00:06:31.414
Look, we saw
00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:32.682
We had a hearing on birthright citizenship this week, too.
00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:35.284
There's there's basically
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:36.319
This birth tourism where chinese will pay.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.455
Chinese individuals will pay to have their
00:06:39.455 --> 00:06:41.424
Have a woman come here for a week,
00:06:41.424 --> 00:06:42.959
Give birth, fly back.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.460
There's a million and a
00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:45.461
Half, quote unquote, american citizens
00:06:45.461 --> 00:06:47.630
That are being educated by the ccp in china.
00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:49.799
They can come back to the united states.
00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:51.033
This thing's broken.
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:52.168
Charlie's right.
00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:53.169
This is the fight.
00:06:53.169 --> 00:06:54.170
And we have to be unafraid
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:55.004
Of what people are going to call us.
00:06:55.004 --> 00:07:00.005
Of what people are going to call us.
00:07:00.005 --> 00:07:05.812
All right, senator schmidt, you were.
00:07:06.613 --> 00:07:09.082
We were talking about the polling, charlie.
00:07:09.082 --> 00:07:10.750
The next poll, 89% support a moratorium, net zero.
00:07:10.750 --> 00:07:13.920
More term.
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.121
Just to be clear what that is, we lose about 150 to 250,000
00:07:15.121 --> 00:07:18.625
People just emigrating out of the country every year.
00:07:18.625 --> 00:07:21.494
So in theory, you could replace those, right?
00:07:21.494 --> 00:07:23.596
1 to 1.
00:07:23.596 --> 00:07:24.497
Still net zero, to the population count.
00:07:24.497 --> 00:07:27.000
That would be, yes, 89%.
00:07:27.534 --> 00:07:29.469
We did it at an 89.5%.
00:07:29.469 --> 00:07:32.472
And you were about to make a point
00:07:32.472 --> 00:07:33.673
On the polling that you've seen.
00:07:33.673 --> 00:07:35.708
Yeah, the polling i've seen also on on deportations.
00:07:35.708 --> 00:07:38.311
Right.
00:07:38.311 --> 00:07:39.379
The american people don't just support deporting,
00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:41.814
You know, criminal aliens who are here.
00:07:41.814 --> 00:07:44.450
They also just believe in
00:07:44.450 --> 00:07:46.119
We saw 15 million people come here illegally,
00:07:46.119 --> 00:07:48.821
And we ought to deport those two.
00:07:48.821 --> 00:07:50.023
And i think what you're
00:07:50.023 --> 00:07:50.990
What you really if you want to peel the
00:07:50.990 --> 00:07:52.725
Veil back and what this whole dhs funding
00:07:52.725 --> 00:07:54.894
And ice thing is what the democrats have.
00:07:54.894 --> 00:07:56.829
They've shut down homeland security.
00:07:56.829 --> 00:07:59.232
They lost at the polls in 2024.
00:07:59.232 --> 00:08:01.401
They brought in 15 million people.
00:08:01.401 --> 00:08:02.969
They thought that this was,
00:08:02.969 --> 00:08:04.804
The reality everybody was going to have to live with.
00:08:04.804 --> 00:08:07.373
President trump ran on a central plank,
00:08:07.373 --> 00:08:10.109
Was addressing that issue, and mass deportations.
00:08:10.109 --> 00:08:13.947
They lost their.
00:08:13.947 --> 00:08:15.181
And so now what they want to do is that basically have mass
00:08:15.181 --> 00:08:18.318
Amnesty by kneecapping ice.
00:08:18.318 --> 00:08:20.253
So they can't, you know, continue their mission
00:08:20.253 --> 00:08:22.455
For deportations that president trump won on.
00:08:22.455 --> 00:08:25.224
So i think the 15 million people here illegally was
00:08:25.224 --> 00:08:28.227
The democrats wanted to create a problem so big
00:08:28.227 --> 00:08:31.664
That the only solution that people could wrap
00:08:31.664 --> 00:08:33.866
Their head around was mass amnesty.
00:08:33.866 --> 00:08:35.935
And now that the american people rejected that,
00:08:35.935 --> 00:08:38.404
Their only solution
00:08:38.404 --> 00:08:39.339
Is to defund an agency whose job is to enforce
00:08:39.339 --> 00:08:42.175
Our federal immigration law.
00:08:42.175 --> 00:08:43.309
So it's a sick ideology.
00:08:43.309 --> 00:08:45.378
The democrats have totally lost their way.
00:08:45.378 --> 00:08:47.547
I mean, if you listen
00:08:47.547 --> 00:08:48.615
To a speech from bill clinton not that long ago,
00:08:48.615 --> 00:08:50.550
It sounds like a republican on this point
00:08:50.550 --> 00:08:52.318
Now, they've been totally radicalized
00:08:52.318 --> 00:08:54.020
With this open borders and this toxic empathy that.
00:08:54.020 --> 00:08:57.323
And i think at the end of the day, guys,
00:08:57.323 --> 00:08:59.125
They know they've lost the case of the american people.
00:08:59.125 --> 00:09:02.128
And their only way that they can hold onto power
00:09:02.128 --> 00:09:05.298
Or gain power is by having a,
00:09:05.298 --> 00:09:07.700
You know, new group of people here that they can
00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:09.769
You know, make them beholden to.
00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:11.304
So it's crazy.
00:09:11.304 --> 00:09:12.739
Yeah.
00:09:12.739 --> 00:09:13.740
I mean, reiterate for the audience, senator,
00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:16.376
The scam act, because i think you made this point.
00:09:16.376 --> 00:09:19.379
I think you said it. well, you said
00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.648
First the save act, save america act, then the scam act.
00:09:21.648 --> 00:09:24.684
So what would the scam act actually do?
00:09:24.684 --> 00:09:27.453
And how do we how do we support you in this effort?
00:09:27.453 --> 00:09:30.223
So deport or. i'm sorry.
00:09:30.757 --> 00:09:32.225
Naturalization is hard to do right now.
00:09:32.225 --> 00:09:35.194
It's pretty rare.
00:09:35.194 --> 00:09:36.596
This would expand the category by which you can
00:09:36.596 --> 00:09:39.565
Naturalize somebody if they commit welfare fraud,
00:09:39.565 --> 00:09:42.435
If they are, you know,
00:09:42.435 --> 00:09:43.569
Have an aggravated felony, if they're a violent criminal,
00:09:43.569 --> 00:09:46.072
If they if they're, you know, convicted of espionage,
00:09:46.072 --> 00:09:48.975
If they join a cartel or form
00:09:48.975 --> 00:09:50.576
A foreign terrorist organization
00:09:50.576 --> 00:09:52.178
Or engage in terrorism, you have a ten year look back
00:09:52.178 --> 00:09:55.915
From when they were naturalized or naturalized,
00:09:55.915 --> 00:09:58.451
And you can do nationalism and send them home right now.
00:09:58.451 --> 00:10:01.521
You can't do that.
00:10:01.521 --> 00:10:02.422
Once somebody becomes a citizen,
00:10:02.422 --> 00:10:04.524
It's very hard to ever do that.
00:10:04.524 --> 00:10:06.292
You have to prove
00:10:06.292 --> 00:10:07.326
Some sort of fraud in the inducement of fraud,
00:10:07.326 --> 00:10:09.095
How they became a citizen in the first place.
00:10:09.095 --> 00:10:10.930
Now there are court rulings on this, and it's importantly,
00:10:10.930 --> 00:10:13.599
We've drafted a statute
00:10:13.599 --> 00:10:14.834
That would comply with the court's
00:10:14.834 --> 00:10:16.069
Ruling that you tie this back to their initially
00:10:16.069 --> 00:10:18.971
Their original fraud of saying, i'm going to be loyal
00:10:18.971 --> 00:10:21.207
To the united states and all that sort of thing.
00:10:21.207 --> 00:10:23.042
So the scam act is very
00:10:23.042 --> 00:10:24.644
Important if we're serious about this,
00:10:24.644 --> 00:10:26.479
If we're serious about taking on abuses
00:10:26.479 --> 00:10:28.915
With legal immigration, not just h-1b, not just a opt,
00:10:28.915 --> 00:10:32.552
But when people do things like they did in minneapolis
00:10:32.552 --> 00:10:35.888
Or you see what happened at old dominion,
00:10:35.888 --> 00:10:38.324
There's a mechanism by which not just that
00:10:38.324 --> 00:10:40.693
We can prosecute them, but that we can ultimately
00:10:40.693 --> 00:10:43.062
Neutralize them and get them out of here.
00:10:43.062 --> 00:10:44.363
So i have a question.
00:10:44.363 --> 00:10:45.331
Maybe blake has blake's my, he's not a lawyer,
00:10:45.331 --> 00:10:48.468
But he's paid to be one on tv. the the,
00:10:48.468 --> 00:10:51.070
You are a lawyer.
00:10:51.504 --> 00:10:52.672
You are a great lawyer in missouri.
00:10:52.672 --> 00:10:54.607
This is why i love this question for you.
00:10:54.607 --> 00:10:56.576
Because you're crafting this
00:10:56.576 --> 00:10:58.010
In such a way that it will hold legal muster.
00:10:58.010 --> 00:11:00.079
But i'll just be honest.
00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:01.447
Emotionally, i'm watching what happened to the odd.
00:11:01.447 --> 00:11:03.983
I'm watching what happened in, in michigan.
00:11:03.983 --> 00:11:08.254
I don't care if it's ten years or 15 years or 100 years.
00:11:08.254 --> 00:11:11.190
Right. get that guy out of here.
00:11:11.190 --> 00:11:13.059
Lock him up. throw away the key like i.
00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:15.495
If you're sympathizing with isis,
00:11:15.495 --> 00:11:17.063
I don't care if it's ten years or 50.
00:11:17.063 --> 00:11:19.165
You don't belong here.
00:11:19.165 --> 00:11:20.500
So that's my final question to you there, sir.
00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:23.903
Yeah. look, we're trying to get.
00:11:24.637 --> 00:11:25.772
Where do you.
00:11:25.772 --> 00:11:26.672
Look? i'm not big on a lot of people.
00:11:26.672 --> 00:11:27.907
Just file things to have, like,
00:11:27.907 --> 00:11:29.275
Be able to message it and say, hey, i'm.
00:11:29.275 --> 00:11:31.611
Look at this.
00:11:31.611 --> 00:11:32.245
I filed this bill.
00:11:32.245 --> 00:11:33.346
Even though they know it's not going to go anywhere.
00:11:33.346 --> 00:11:34.614
That's not me.
00:11:34.614 --> 00:11:35.848
That's not why i get into this.
00:11:35.848 --> 00:11:37.016
I got into this,
00:11:37.016 --> 00:11:37.784
You know,
00:11:37.784 --> 00:11:38.484
When i was ag, we fought back
00:11:38.484 --> 00:11:39.385
And we won a lot of those big cases.
00:11:39.385 --> 00:11:41.087
And that's why i ran for the senate.
00:11:41.087 --> 00:11:42.488
So this would hold up.
00:11:42.488 --> 00:11:44.157
Would i like for it to be longer? of course.
00:11:44.157 --> 00:11:46.459
But we want this thing to actually have some teeth
00:11:46.459 --> 00:11:48.661
To be upheld by the court.
00:11:48.661 --> 00:11:49.862
And right now, we don't have a really a way to naturalize.
00:11:49.862 --> 00:11:52.665
This would give us a route to get rid of these bad folks.
00:11:52.665 --> 00:11:54.534
To me, it just seems so straightforward.
00:11:54.534 --> 00:11:56.235
I always find it aggravating
00:11:56.235 --> 00:11:57.770
That we would bring these giant bills
00:11:57.770 --> 00:11:59.438
And they get held up in everything because it to me,
00:11:59.438 --> 00:12:01.107
It should be such a straightforward
00:12:01.107 --> 00:12:02.441
Political win to have the senate be voting on a bill.
00:12:02.441 --> 00:12:05.077
And it says if you commit terrorism,
00:12:05.077 --> 00:12:06.879
You can have your citizenship revoked and forced democrats
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.482
To filibuster it, force them to vote no on it,
00:12:09.482 --> 00:12:11.751
And then run on that.
00:12:11.751 --> 00:12:12.985
Yeah, run.
00:12:12.985 --> 00:12:14.187
I want every single person to say, this guy voted in favor
00:12:14.187 --> 00:12:17.557
Of keeping citizenship for isis supporters.
00:12:17.557 --> 00:12:19.859
It should be really straightforward.
00:12:19.859 --> 00:12:21.127
I'm always so confused 100%.
00:12:21.127 --> 00:12:23.863
And, that's what i mean.
00:12:23.863 --> 00:12:25.131
Save america act, right? we want to get that done.
00:12:25.131 --> 00:12:27.500
And make the democrats make an argument against it.
00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:31.003
Right.
00:12:31.003 --> 00:12:32.138
You who doesn't think you should have to prove you're
00:12:32.138 --> 00:12:33.406
A u.s.
00:12:33.406 --> 00:12:33.840
Citizen, a vote
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:34.941
Who doesn't think you shouldn't have to show an i.d.
00:12:34.941 --> 00:12:37.476
Like you do when you check into a hotel room to vote?
00:12:37.476 --> 00:12:40.513
These are big issues.
00:12:40.513 --> 00:12:41.347
And by the way, they'll matter
00:12:41.347 --> 00:12:42.415
In important states like georgia,
00:12:42.415 --> 00:12:44.483
Where jon ossoff parades around like a moderate.
00:12:44.483 --> 00:12:47.520
It's hard
00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:48.020
To actually
00:12:48.020 --> 00:12:48.921
It's hard to actually portray yourself
00:12:48.921 --> 00:12:50.289
As a moderate when you voted against
00:12:50.289 --> 00:12:51.490
All these 80, 20 issues. i agree with you.
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:53.860
I think we need to be aggressive
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.328
And we need to play offense.
00:12:55.328 --> 00:12:56.662
Well, you know,
00:12:56.662 --> 00:12:57.763
Senator schmidt, you might need a new job
00:12:57.763 --> 00:12:59.932
Than, senate leader, but that's just,
00:12:59.932 --> 00:13:02.301
You you don't want it.
00:13:02.768 --> 00:13:04.337
Never mind. no, thanks. yeah, exactly.
00:13:04.337 --> 00:13:06.439
Senator eric schmidt, scam act.
00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:08.875
We all need to get behind it. it's huge.
00:13:08.875 --> 00:13:10.576
It's so important.
00:13:10.576 --> 00:13:11.544
And, while we're at it, let's get a net zero
00:13:11.544 --> 00:13:13.813
Moratorium on the books.
00:13:13.813 --> 00:13:14.847
But we can we can wish, thank you.
00:13:14.847 --> 00:13:18.351
Thank you for making the time.
00:13:18.351 --> 00:13:20.019
Thank you're guys. thank you. yeah.
00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:21.554
But yeah, your reaction to it i think he makes a good point.
00:13:21.554 --> 00:13:26.225
It has to stand up to legal muster.
00:13:26.225 --> 00:13:27.827
But emotionally we don't we don't ever want cartoon bills.
00:13:27.827 --> 00:13:30.763
You don't want something
00:13:30.763 --> 00:13:31.831
That's going to get blown up by a supreme court.
00:13:31.831 --> 00:13:33.366
That is whatever frustrations we have basically on our side.
00:13:33.366 --> 00:13:36.869
But yeah, we should we should be very eager
00:13:36.869 --> 00:13:40.406
And ready
00:13:40.406 --> 00:13:41.440
To propose restrained bills that clearly make
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.576
The situation better
00:13:43.576 --> 00:13:44.877
And that it's indefensible for democrats to vote against.
00:13:44.877 --> 00:13:47.914
It's i've told the story a few times, but u.s.
00:13:47.914 --> 00:13:50.850
Federal law
00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:52.051
Still lets you bring in child brides to get a green card
00:13:52.051 --> 00:13:54.120
For marriage, and that's an issue.
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.155
I would love to have our government voting on that.
00:13:56.155 --> 00:13:57.990
I think that could be a one page bill where you amend it
00:13:57.990 --> 00:14:00.326
And you say, actually,
00:14:00.326 --> 00:14:01.527
There's a there's an age floor for, for that sort of thing.
00:14:01.527 --> 00:14:05.097
Or, and so similar to this, it's just i feel like
00:14:05.097 --> 00:14:08.501
I love his bill and the different parts of it.
00:14:08.501 --> 00:14:10.569
I'd practically wonder if you could break that into pieces.
00:14:10.569 --> 00:14:12.605
You could have a one page bill that says, like, okay,
00:14:12.605 --> 00:14:15.007
You can get you naturalized for terrorism. yeah.
00:14:15.007 --> 00:14:17.310
And why is our senate
00:14:17.310 --> 00:14:18.244
Not not pulling that
00:14:18.244 --> 00:14:19.378
Immediately to the floor
00:14:19.378 --> 00:14:20.613
And like there's all this committee
00:14:20.613 --> 00:14:22.014
Nonsense that goes on the senate streamline
00:14:22.014 --> 00:14:23.549
That change the rules
00:14:23.549 --> 00:14:24.583
So that on something like that you can bring it up to
00:14:24.583 --> 00:14:27.620
You don't need to waste a month on something
00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:30.122
When it is a straightforward change to the law.
00:14:30.122 --> 00:14:32.792
That's my point of view.
00:14:32.792 --> 00:14:33.826
I'm, i'm going to play a cut here.
00:14:33.826 --> 00:14:37.330
Because it's just
00:14:37.330 --> 00:14:40.232
We've got al jacoby coming on in just a second.
00:14:40.232 --> 00:14:43.102
I think he's almost ready.
00:14:43.102 --> 00:14:44.470
But here you got to see this with the left over the shot,
00:14:44.470 --> 00:14:47.306
The shootings yesterday and the attacks.
00:14:47.306 --> 00:14:49.809
It's just amazing what they're saying.
00:14:49.809 --> 00:14:51.377
Place up three is a national sickness.
00:14:51.377 --> 00:14:55.548
We live in a country where people care more about
00:14:55.548 --> 00:14:58.284
Guns than they care about six year old children.
00:14:58.284 --> 00:15:01.220
They care more about guns,
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:02.288
And they care about synagogue worshipers,
00:15:02.288 --> 00:15:04.223
And they care more about guns
00:15:04.223 --> 00:15:05.791
Than they do about college students.
00:15:05.791 --> 00:15:07.760
And until there is the political will to break the
00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:11.263
Be spell of the cult of gun absolutism,
00:15:11.263 --> 00:15:14.767
You will see more incidents like this.
00:15:14.767 --> 00:15:17.336
So if you are looking
00:15:17.336 --> 00:15:18.404
For somebody to blame, don't look at anybody up here.
00:15:18.404 --> 00:15:20.973
Look at our lawmakers who don't have the courage
00:15:20.973 --> 00:15:23.876
To implement sensible gun control measures.
00:15:23.876 --> 00:15:26.679
Y'all, jacobi joins us now.
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.881
Yeah.
00:15:28.881 --> 00:15:29.982
I hope you heard that clip. that's the soros backed
00:15:29.982 --> 00:15:31.917
Virginia attorney, ramon fat turkey.
00:15:31.917 --> 00:15:36.055
And he's, he's he's blaming guns for what happened
00:15:36.055 --> 00:15:39.425
Yesterday. your reaction?
00:15:39.425 --> 00:15:41.594
I just find it confusing that he's blaming guns
00:15:42.528 --> 00:15:44.730
When there was an explosive filled vehicle
00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:46.532
That was rammed into the synagogue yesterday.
00:15:46.532 --> 00:15:48.434
And so i think, you know, they they love to blame guns,
00:15:48.434 --> 00:15:51.737
But in this situation was actually
00:15:51.737 --> 00:15:52.938
An explosive filled vehicle that did the damage.
00:15:52.938 --> 00:15:55.674
We have more clips of this,
00:15:55.674 --> 00:15:59.345
This is jake tapper,
00:15:59.345 --> 00:16:02.281
Who's jewish, by the way.
00:16:02.281 --> 00:16:03.849
He had he he said, we don't know the
00:16:03.849 --> 00:16:06.819
This was the synagogue just shooting you or attack.
00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:10.022
Yeah.
00:16:10.256 --> 00:16:10.589
Go ahead
00:16:10.589 --> 00:16:11.824
And just picture these, like, like some clueless fbi agent
00:16:11.824 --> 00:16:14.060
And they're like, why did you do it?
00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:15.995
It was because of islam, sir.
00:16:15.995 --> 00:16:17.196
And he's like, stop speaking in riddles and everything.
00:16:17.196 --> 00:16:19.899
Yeah, exactly.
00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:21.133
We had no instantly we were we like we knew the motivation.
00:16:21.133 --> 00:16:24.703
Stop for to be crystal clear,
00:16:24.703 --> 00:16:26.138
We do not know the motivations of the attacker.
00:16:26.138 --> 00:16:28.874
This would be mass murderer of jews.
00:16:28.874 --> 00:16:31.277
We don't know their political views,
00:16:31.277 --> 00:16:34.180
But the overton window, the measure of acceptable
00:16:34.180 --> 00:16:37.149
Discourse, has opened to some of the most hateful,
00:16:37.149 --> 00:16:40.686
Anti-semitic voices out there on the left and the right.
00:16:40.686 --> 00:16:44.156
Yeah.
00:16:44.390 --> 00:16:45.424
We've got just a short little bit in this segment
00:16:45.424 --> 00:16:47.560
Left, but, 10s to you.
00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:49.829
Did you did you instantly know the motive
00:16:49.829 --> 00:16:51.797
Or did you where you got so
00:16:51.797 --> 00:16:53.365
I think after the austin shooting,
00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:55.935
The idea to talk in new york city,
00:16:55.935 --> 00:16:57.803
The dominion shooting and then another car ramming,
00:16:57.803 --> 00:17:00.739
I think it becomes obvious what the ramming is wanted for
00:17:00.739 --> 00:17:03.175
Different incidents in a single week alone,
00:17:03.175 --> 00:17:06.178
But it's a mystery.
00:17:06.178 --> 00:17:08.180
We just the world never know.
00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:10.549
This is what i know.
00:17:10.549 --> 00:17:11.750
This is why we can't have nice things is because, you know,
00:17:11.750 --> 00:17:13.686
We're just completely hampered by part of the country.
00:17:13.686 --> 00:17:16.956
That's brain.
00:17:16.956 --> 00:17:17.823
Stay right there when i introduce you
00:17:17.823 --> 00:17:19.391
To our audience as well, when you get back, i,
00:17:19.391 --> 00:17:23.998
To our audience as well, when you get back, i,
00:17:23.998 --> 00:17:29.297
I y'all jacobi some political commentator.
00:17:30.165 --> 00:17:33.068
You can find him on x.
00:17:33.068 --> 00:17:34.336
He's got a great he's a great follow at e y r e jacobi.
00:17:34.336 --> 00:17:38.773
So i y'all tell us about yourself.
00:17:38.773 --> 00:17:42.277
You know, we're still getting to know each other, but,
00:17:42.277 --> 00:17:45.747
You are a great follow.
00:17:45.747 --> 00:17:46.882
You are very plugged in.
00:17:46.882 --> 00:17:49.117
Tell our audience about yourself.
00:17:49.851 --> 00:17:52.087
Yeah.
00:17:52.087 --> 00:17:53.155
First of all, thank you for having me on the show.
00:17:53.155 --> 00:17:54.089
Andrew. good to speak to you. i'm blake.
00:17:54.089 --> 00:17:55.790
Great to meet you.
00:17:55.790 --> 00:17:56.958
I graduated from the university
00:17:56.958 --> 00:17:59.528
Of pennsylvania two years ago during my senior year.
00:17:59.528 --> 00:18:02.264
I was on campus for the infamous anti ice protests.
00:18:02.264 --> 00:18:07.235
Throughout college, i knew that, you know,
00:18:07.235 --> 00:18:09.171
There was this communist dogma that was being superimposed
00:18:09.171 --> 00:18:12.374
Onto students.
00:18:12.374 --> 00:18:13.441
I really came to light, in my opinion.
00:18:13.441 --> 00:18:15.377
My senior year, i testified before congress twice.
00:18:15.377 --> 00:18:19.014
I've spoken with president trump
00:18:19.014 --> 00:18:20.749
About the rising radicalism on college campuses.
00:18:20.749 --> 00:18:24.486
I've worked closely with the administration,
00:18:24.486 --> 00:18:25.987
With congressional committees.
00:18:25.987 --> 00:18:27.522
And my my focus has really been to restore, academic
00:18:27.522 --> 00:18:31.793
Excellence to the united states rather than die.
00:18:31.793 --> 00:18:34.629
Communism and islamism.
00:18:34.629 --> 00:18:36.631
Well, you're doing a you're doing a lot of work there, man.
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.068
I see you all over my feed.
00:18:40.068 --> 00:18:42.204
So, you know, good on you there.
00:18:42.204 --> 00:18:44.406
I wanted to have you on because of this clip, though.
00:18:44.406 --> 00:18:47.108
And it ties into what we were talking about.
00:18:47.108 --> 00:18:48.777
Senator schmidt.
00:18:48.777 --> 00:18:50.278
And he's working on a bill called the scam act to deport
00:18:50.278 --> 00:18:53.548
The naturalized, even citizens and have a ten year look back.
00:18:53.548 --> 00:18:57.352
So if you're, you know,
00:18:57.352 --> 00:18:58.453
Getting buddy buddy with isis, then get the [] out.
00:18:58.453 --> 00:19:01.756
And i'm all about it, so.
00:19:01.756 --> 00:19:03.258
But this this is a dearborn henry ford community
00:19:03.258 --> 00:19:05.994
College professor ali akbar did
00:19:05.994 --> 00:19:10.365
And he is or that name in the declaration.
00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:13.335
Right. exactly.
00:19:13.335 --> 00:19:14.102
It sounds like a founding father,
00:19:14.102 --> 00:19:15.470
Although i also that's i'm still struggling to say it.
00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:18.673
I apologize, my friend.
00:19:18.673 --> 00:19:19.941
But, we're going to play this clip
00:19:19.941 --> 00:19:22.544
And get your reaction on the other side
00:19:22.544 --> 00:19:23.745
Because i just found it just horrendous
00:19:23.745 --> 00:19:25.914
That these people are these they live among us,
00:19:25.914 --> 00:19:28.750
Sort to trump the the huge mistake
00:19:28.750 --> 00:19:31.820
By seeing our beloved leader say that seminary.
00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:35.223
He thought that by killing him,
00:19:35.857 --> 00:19:38.593
He's going to make the believers submit
00:19:38.593 --> 00:19:40.528
And make them hopeless.
00:19:40.528 --> 00:19:42.364
However,
00:19:42.364 --> 00:19:44.232
We're going to continue on the path of, say,
00:19:44.232 --> 00:19:46.001
That seminary we're going to hold as a his ideology.
00:19:46.001 --> 00:19:50.272
We're going to learn it
00:19:50.272 --> 00:19:51.473
And teach our children and grandchildren.
00:19:51.473 --> 00:19:54.809
We're going to hold his blood and his ideology
00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:57.946
And teach it to our children and grandchildren.
00:19:57.946 --> 00:20:00.248
And of course, he's talking about how president trump,
00:20:00.248 --> 00:20:03.451
You know, killed the supreme leader of iran.
00:20:03.451 --> 00:20:07.389
What do you make of this?
00:20:07.956 --> 00:20:10.592
I make number one.
00:20:10.592 --> 00:20:11.793
That is, he's so obsessed with the supreme leader of iran,
00:20:11.793 --> 00:20:14.763
He should fly there and live there under the iranian regime.
00:20:14.763 --> 00:20:17.866
There is absolutely zero reason that he is currently residing
00:20:17.866 --> 00:20:21.336
In the united states of america.
00:20:21.336 --> 00:20:22.671
There's literally none.
00:20:22.671 --> 00:20:24.306
And i think it's the same sort of ridiculousness
00:20:24.306 --> 00:20:28.276
That a lot of people have where they have this fetish
00:20:28.276 --> 00:20:30.812
For these terrorists, literal,
00:20:30.812 --> 00:20:32.647
You know, fundamentalist terrors,
00:20:32.647 --> 00:20:34.349
But they seem
00:20:34.349 --> 00:20:35.383
To never want to live, in any of these countries.
00:20:35.383 --> 00:20:38.386
You know,
00:20:38.386 --> 00:20:39.421
You have, for instance, the queers for palestine
00:20:39.421 --> 00:20:40.755
Who are obsessed with supporting
00:20:40.755 --> 00:20:42.490
Infamous hezbollah and the ayatollah,
00:20:42.490 --> 00:20:44.659
And yet none of them seem to want to take vacation
00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:46.928
In any of these countries,
00:20:46.928 --> 00:20:48.096
Which is just to me, it's bizarre
00:20:48.096 --> 00:20:49.764
That if you're so obsessed with something, go live there.
00:20:49.764 --> 00:20:52.233
There's no reason for you to be in the united states.
00:20:52.233 --> 00:20:54.169
Let's talk about the temple israel, attack specifically.
00:20:54.169 --> 00:20:59.174
This was, and i'm gonna
00:20:59.674 --> 00:21:01.109
Play this, this cut and get your reaction to it.
00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:03.912
This was on mbs.
00:21:03.912 --> 00:21:04.746
Now, i found it, pretty horrific.
00:21:04.746 --> 00:21:07.649
They're blaming trump because, the trump administration has
00:21:07.649 --> 00:21:11.386
Not sufficiently, prepared us for national security here.
00:21:11.386 --> 00:21:15.557
Cut five.
00:21:15.857 --> 00:21:16.825
There has been questions, real, significant,
00:21:16.825 --> 00:21:19.527
Meaningful questions about whether this administration
00:21:19.527 --> 00:21:24.032
Is has its eyes on keeping the american public safe.
00:21:24.032 --> 00:21:26.868
It's very clear
00:21:26.868 --> 00:21:28.002
That the focus at the department of homeland security
00:21:28.002 --> 00:21:29.804
And the focus from the top, many parts
00:21:29.804 --> 00:21:31.373
Of this administration, including the fbi,
00:21:31.373 --> 00:21:33.508
Has been on immigration enforcement,
00:21:33.508 --> 00:21:35.410
Specifically immigration enforcement
00:21:35.410 --> 00:21:36.911
That leads to the maximum number of of deportations.
00:21:36.911 --> 00:21:41.583
And i don't think you can say that it has been focused on
00:21:41.583 --> 00:21:44.319
Violent extremism or the possibility of terror.
00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:47.455
Listen, there. okay.
00:21:47.455 --> 00:21:48.923
So these are the
00:21:48.923 --> 00:21:50.859
So they don't even point the finger
00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:52.127
At the biden administration who let all these crazy people
00:21:52.127 --> 00:21:55.130
And unvetted millions know it's trump's fault.
00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:58.333
When you look at what happened at, temple israel
00:21:58.333 --> 00:22:02.036
Make it makes sense for us.
00:22:02.637 --> 00:22:05.306
I think the lack of vetting, the lack of secure borders,
00:22:05.306 --> 00:22:08.243
The lack of even basic
00:22:08.243 --> 00:22:09.344
Diligence on what people are doing
00:22:09.344 --> 00:22:11.012
Once they're
00:22:11.012 --> 00:22:12.213
Actually in the united states, and way back before of someone
00:22:12.213 --> 00:22:14.949
Praising the ayatollah for what reason is dearborn, michigan
00:22:14.949 --> 00:22:17.819
Not being monitored for extremism?
00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:19.788
These aren't talks to 1 or 2 people.
00:22:19.788 --> 00:22:21.523
These are hundreds of people in a room
00:22:21.523 --> 00:22:23.358
That are constantly hearing over and over again
00:22:23.358 --> 00:22:25.994
That there are
00:22:25.994 --> 00:22:26.995
Hezbollah's children, that they're martyrs,
00:22:26.995 --> 00:22:28.596
That they're the next army of romanian.
00:22:28.596 --> 00:22:30.832
And there was another clip i posted yesterday, actually,
00:22:30.832 --> 00:22:33.301
Of a christian resident of dearborn going to a town
00:22:33.301 --> 00:22:36.671
Council meeting and saying that he opposes that.
00:22:36.671 --> 00:22:39.707
A street named in dearborn is being named after hezbollah.
00:22:39.707 --> 00:22:42.977
Hezbollah, mind you, murdered 241 marines in a marine
00:22:42.977 --> 00:22:46.448
Barracks bombing in beirut, and the mayor told them to
00:22:46.448 --> 00:22:50.084
Get out.
00:22:50.084 --> 00:22:50.919
And then he's being islamophobic.
00:22:50.919 --> 00:22:51.820
The stuff that's happening,
00:22:51.820 --> 00:22:53.655
We've become so desensitized to it because it's so frequent
00:22:53.655 --> 00:22:57.225
That i don't think
00:22:57.225 --> 00:22:58.426
We understand just how crazy some of this is at this point.
00:22:58.426 --> 00:23:01.963
You know, the austin shooting, the ied attack,
00:23:01.963 --> 00:23:04.532
You have the shooting of the rotc in virginia,
00:23:04.532 --> 00:23:08.002
You have the temple.
00:23:08.002 --> 00:23:08.636
But, i mean, it's just
00:23:08.636 --> 00:23:10.038
At what point do we say
00:23:10.038 --> 00:23:11.039
Enough is enough and look at europe and say,
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.640
I don't actually want this to happen in the united states.
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.009
We need to take action now before it just gets untenable.
00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:18.213
I, al jacobi, keep it up, man.
00:23:18.813 --> 00:23:21.683
Great. ver.
00:23:21.683 --> 00:23:22.550
Grateful for you making the time today.
00:23:22.550 --> 00:23:24.419
We're going to have you on again soon.
00:23:24.419 --> 00:23:24.419
