• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Eric schmich okay Now. Eric was speaking at the fifth
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Annual National Conservatism Conference in Washington, and he posed a question,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: The question is what is an American? Would you like
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: to hear some of his answer, Let's listen.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: The Conninal Army soldiers dying of frost fight at Valley Forge.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: The Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: of Plymouth. The Pioneers striking out from Missouri for the
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: wild and dangerous Frontier. The outnumbered Kentucky settlers repelling wave
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: after wave of Indian war Band attacks from beyond the
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: stockade walls. All of them will be astonished to hear
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: that they were only fighting for a proposition. They believed
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: they were fighting for a nation, a homeland for themselves
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: and their descendants. They fought, they bled, they struggled, they died,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: for us. They built this country for us. America in
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: across the generations. It belongs to us. It's our birthright,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: it's our heritage, our destiny. If America is everything and everyone,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: then it is nothing and no one at all. When
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: they tear down our statues and monuments, mock our history
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and insult our traditions, they're attacking our future as well
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: as our past by changing the stories we tell about ourselves.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: They believe they can build a new America with the
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: new myths, new people. But America doesn't belong to them.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: It belongs to us. It's our home. It's a heritage
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: and trusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: of life that is ours and only ours. If we disappear,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: then America too will cease to exist.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: There's a lot there. Let's unpack. Let's discuss. If America
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is everything and everyone, then it is nothing at all.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: If you listen to what I just played, Senator Schmidt
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: kept saying America doesn't belong to them, it belongs to us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: He said, America is a nation and a people with
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: its own distinct history and heritage.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And interests.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Listen, man, there are some white people, I said, some
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: white people in this country who believe in white replacement theory. Okay,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I don't have time to tell you what white replacement
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: theory is, but it's the claim that white populations are
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: deliberately being replaced by non white people. Not to mention,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the Census Project back in twenty eighteen projected that white
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: people will become the minority by twenty forty five. Ever
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: since that came out, okay, the plan has been in
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: motion by some white people to ensure that don't happen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You know, I love putting on my tenfoil pooh shisty mask. Okay,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I love a good conspiracy theory. But when that Census
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: project came out, and prior to that, getting eight years
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of a black president, then they turned around and almost
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: elected a woman.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Some white male said no way ho z literally, no.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Jose, no Julio, no one, no Jamal Okay, no, come
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: on out. Now. I see the headline. I see the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: headline going around on Instagram. It says Eric Schmidt says
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: America is for white people only.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Now everybody is gonna run with that headline.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: And then Eric's gonna go on Fox News and say
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the radical left is losing their woke minds. I never
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: said that, and he's right, he didn't. But here's the thing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: He never said who us is? And that's the game. Okay,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: when a politician leaves us undefined, it's because they know
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: exactly who they're talking to, and the people he's talking
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: to they know that messages for them as well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And spoiler alert, if you're black, brown.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Legal, immigrant, LGBT, envy, Jewish, Muslim, chances are you not
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in that either?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Okay? You not in that us? All right, that's all Eric.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Schmidt just gave. Okay, he gave us. Are they not
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: like us? With absolutely zero seasoning?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: What happened to America being conceived in liberty and dedicated
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to the proposition that all men are created equal?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: What happened to America being inclusive? I mean, it never
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: really was, but damn it, at least we was fake trying.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Now you got people like Eric Schmidt saying straight up,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: this country is for us, and he's saying it over
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and over and over again. That's not inclusive, that's exclusive.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: And when you're speaking at a national conservatism conference, forgive
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: us if we think us it's a sounding like shorthand
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: for white males only. Okay, By the way, no matter
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: how much you attempt to clarify this, it's gonna sound
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: like racially coded rhetoric straight out that we want segregation again,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: starter pack. Okay, the US you talking about aren't the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: ones who make the best tacos on Tuesday and jerk
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: chicken on Saturday.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's talking about the.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: US that seasons food with a pinch of salt and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a pinch of prayer.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: If America is everything and everyone is nothing at all,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: that's what he said.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Didn't he say that? Can I hear that Poe again?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: They believe they can build a new America with the
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: new myths, new people. But America doesn't belong to them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: It belongs to us. It's our home. It's a heritage
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: and trusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: of life that is ours and only ours. If we disappear,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: then America too will cease to exist.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: That's not is that we have the other part? Oh well,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he had the line.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: He said, the line, if America is everything and everyone,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: it's nothing at all. If America is not everything and everyone,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: then it's nothing at all.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, When do will we.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Realize that we are the good, the bad, and the ugly, Okay.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: All wrapped in the one. That's what makes this That's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what makes this country great. Okay.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: The hope for America is actually in our history, which.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Is why I don't know why we keep trying to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: hide it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's look at it, deal with it, and move forward.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. You can't heal what you don't reveal.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: The melting pot that is America is what makes this
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: is what makes this country incredible.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: The great American melting pot filled with a little bit
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of everything is what makes this country amazing. And Eric,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: please don't gas like folks in backtrack on what you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: said and tell us that you know we saw you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: say something that you didn't say. Because when somebody keeps
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: saying America is for us but never tells you who us.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Is, trust me, you already know who they talking about. Okay.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: If it don't sound like it includes you, then it
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: probably doesn't. And that's why we got to call this
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: language what it is, coded racism wrapped up in patriotism. Okay,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: America ain't supposed to be about us versus them. It's
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: supposed to be about we the people. But some folks
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: like Eric don't want we. They just want us. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: anyone who doesn't want us together, well they don't believe
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: in America anyway at all. Please give junior Senator from

  Speaker 3: All right, it's for us. I'll thank you for that
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: donkey to day.

  Speaker 1: But never tell us who the US is. Now, what
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you know who they're talking about? Of course? Yeah. If
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it don't sound like it includes you, then they probably don't.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. No, that's all I'm saying. All Right, Well,
• 7:55
