Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt joined Joe Pags for a hard-hitting conversation that peeled back the curtain on the left’s escalating war on free speech, law enforcement, and judicial integrity. As the driving force behind the pivotal Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, Schmitt came armed with facts, examples, and warnings about where America is headed if citizens don’t wake up.
At the heart of the discussion was the targeting of first responders—public servants now finding themselves punished for political opinions. Schmitt called it for what it is: revenge. “Local bureaucrats… have fired folks for speaking out,” he said. He cited one example of a first responder fired simply for donating “$15” to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense, emphasizing how the far left is trying to “exact revenge” on conservatives across all industries.
They turned to the COVID years next, where Schmitt argued the left exposed their true authoritarian colors. “The American people saw all of this, and they rejected it at the ballot box,” he said, calling the mandates and speech suppression “a way to control language, to control speech.” That overreach, Schmitt added, drove younger voters away from the Democratic Party. “Part of that was they saw the excesses of the left.”
Schmitt also warned that censorship efforts aren’t just domestic. “This whole disinformation, misinformation network is international,” he said, pointing to revelations uncovered through DOGE about taxpayer-funded NGOs operating to stifle opposing voices under the guise of combating misinformation.
Turning to the streets, Schmitt described the eerie consistency of “stacks of bricks” showing up at protests and rallies, describing it as part of a “leftist playbook” designed to stir chaos and reinforce a false narrative. “They want to control the narrative by any means necessary.”
The interview culminated with a discussion of Judge James Boasberg and what Schmitt called “broad abuse” of judicial assignment processes. “These cases are supposed to be randomly assigned to district court judges,” he said. “It is statistically impossible for Judge Boasberg to be getting these cases.” The implication? Judge shopping, and a stacked deck designed to undermine conservatives at every turn.
From the courtroom to the ballot box to the streets, Senator Schmitt is sounding the alarm. This interview is a clear-eyed look at the institutional and cultural fight for America’s soul—and a call for vigilance, action, and truth.
