Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Schmitt

This week, Chris and Matt return for an emergency deep dive on Operation Midnight Hammer, the largest US strike on Iran since 1979. They break down what the bombing raid and actually achieved, why initial White House claims of “obliterating” Iran's nuclear program don't hold up to scrutiny, and what the intelligence community's more cautious battle damage assessments reveal. They also unpack the legal debate around preemptive strikes, Israel's unfinished campaign against Iran, and the risk of a new status quo in which these strikes become routine. Plus, Denis Villeneuve takes on Bond, and Chris dares to revisit the great “blonde Bond” panic of 2005.

At a media debriefing on the US Military's crushing strike on Iran's nuclear sites, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth nukes the media for its incessant demeaning and questioning of the mission's effectiveness.

Senator Eric Schmitt is a dog on a bone with the autopen scandal as he files paperwork requesting archived memos detailing the use of the robotic presidential signature when Joe Biden was in office.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt takes time out of negotiations to fill all of us in on what's happening behind the scenes with the Big Beautiful Bill, Trump's signature spending legislation.

Jill Biden's former chief of staff now says he will not testify before House Oversight about his role in keeping Joe Biden's cognitive collapse out of public view. We smell Congressional Subpoena floating in the wind. The Supreme Court may rule today to slap rogue lefty wacko judges from their constant interference in the President's deportation agenda. Missouri senator Eric Schmitt lights up democrats for supporting a judge who's giving the High Court the middle finger.

6-24-2025: Wake Up Missouri with Randy Tobler, Sammi Tobler Gregory, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri) is praising Saturday's successful attack by the U.S. military on three nuclear sites in Iran … in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. The B-2 stealth bombers that dropped the bombs are based at Whiteman Air Force Base near western Missouri's Knob Noster. Senator Schmitt, who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, joined Randy and Sammie Tobler live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Senator Schmitt tells listeners that he plans to travel to Knob Noster to thank the Whiteman B-2 pilots in-person. Senator Schmitt also praises President Trump, saying his instinct is peace and not endless war. Senator Schmitt describes Saturday's attacks as surgical and tactical:

President Donald Trump's high-profile immigration raids have sparked protests across the country and even prompted some Republicans to question whether the strategy is misguided. But Missouri U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt says Trump is carrying out a campaign promise to deport people who are in the country without legal status. He also said that critics of the president are being inconsistent, pointing to how Democratic presidents like Barack Obama deported millions of people when he was in office. Schmitt also downplayed Trump's rift with Elon Musk.

On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum talks to U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt about protests over Donald Trump's immigration enforcement methods – and so called Big Beautiful Bill. Rosenbaum also talks with Democratic Sen. Steven Roberts and House Speaker Jon Patterson about the just concluded special session. And he also discussed with STLPR's Sarah Kellogg whether the bipartisan spirit of the extra time in Jefferson City can last.

Who has the advantage on the all-important immigration issue? And how have a week of riots and deportation raids changed the landscape? Charlie explains how President Trump's bold stand has changed American attitudes over the past decade and over the past week. Sen. Eric Schmitt discusses his clash with Mexico's president over remittances. Get the new "This is What We Voted For" merch today at charliekirkstore.com!

That is why the new State Department started out with only five employees while the Treasury Department had 40. When Alexander Hamilton became the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, he immediately began to prepare a schedule of tariffs, along with excise taxes on such commodities as alcohol and tobacco. The Constitution forbids taxing the exports of any state, and so American tariffs have always been laid only on imports. Collectors were named for each port, and these were considered plum jobs because the collector got to keep the money, earning interest on it, until it was forwarded to the federal government a few times a year. Hamilton's tariffs, along with the refunding of the national debt and the establishment of a central bank, transformed the American financial situation. By the end of the 1790s, the U.S. had the best credit rating in Europe, its bonds selling over par. By 1800, federal revenues, a mere $3.7 million in 1792, had nearly tripled to $10.8 million. About 90 percent of that revenue came from tariffs—a ratio that wouldn't change much, except during the Civil War, for more than a century. *** Hamilton's tariffs had been solely for the purpose of raising re...

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt joins The Winston Marshall Show for a no-holds-barred conversation on the decay of American institutions—from Soros-backed prosecutors to Big Tech censorship.Schmitt recounts his early battles against "taxation by citation" in Ferguson, exposing how local bureaucrats turned traffic tickets into a cash cow—and how that injustice sparked bipartisan reform.He lifts the lid on the Soros NGO network, the rise of activist judges, and the collapse of law and order in cities like St. Louis, where violent crime surged while prosecutors turned a blind eye.The conversation turns to Missouri v. Biden, where Schmitt helped expose government coordination with social media giants to silence dissenting voices on COVID, vaccines, and lockdowns. He blasts the Biden administration's Disinformation Governance Board as “Orwellian,” and warns that the First Amendment is on life support.All this—free speech under siege, activist judges, USAID scandals, and the $2 trillion debt crisis no one wants to talk about… #trump #courts #america -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction1:31 Senator Eric Schmidt's Political Journey2:40 Racial Tensions and the Role of NGOs8:10 Impact of the 2020 Protests and Riots16:10 Activist Judges and the Role of the Supreme Court24:14 The Missouri vs. Biden Lawsuit34:13 USAID and the De-Funding Movement40:48 The Economic Impact of Government Spending42:54 Foreign Policy and American Realism1:01:07 The Role of NGOs in Censorship and Disinformation1:03:32 The Future of American Politics and Policy Hosted on Acast.

The Signal chat/Yemen air strike story is all the left has, and it's not going well for them. Listen to the Republicans - on live television - not just grow huevos - but throw them around and punch back! Doug Collins, Kash Patel, Eric Schmitt, Brandon Gill, Jim Jordan, John Ratcliffe - ALL with devastating Democrat take downs today. As Democrats sink, Republicans appear to be just warming up.

We take a deep look at the fallout from what national security experts are calling one of the most extraordinary intelligence lapses in U.S. history. On Monday Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported that he'd been mistakenly included on an unsecured group chat with senior national security officials as they disclosed plans to attack Yemen. The Atlantic published more of the exchange on Wednesday, while the Trump administration downplayed the blunder and top intelligence officials testified before the House lawmakers.
