Speaker 1 (0:00) All right, you know I've been in a really good mood since Senator Eric Schmidt came on my radar because I love having a new MAGA moron to bully. And this guy and his extraordinary Speaker 1 (0:12) unforced error and face plant extraordinaire is just something that I am really fundamentally enjoying. And there's new reporting that Senator Eric Schmidt, the one that Schmidt the bed, there's new reporting about his humiliating face plant. Pop this up. MSNOW exclusive Republican Eric Schmidt was warned about the Jack Smith text. He used them anyway. GOP judiciary staff told Schmidt the text obtained from the Trump DOJ were unvetted. Schmidt still used them. Chuck Grassley also did not share the text with Democratic senators before the hearing, breaking protocol. Speaker 1 (1:02) In summary, you have the DOJ sending these over to an incompetent, hothead, low-T, you know, I'm a big, I can bend over and fluff Donald Trump like nobody's business. I'm going to sock it to Jack Smith. And they told him they weren't vetted. And he had Benny Johnson and all the other DL demon queens that, you know, go hard in the paint for Trump online, ready, like, we got Jack Smith. And of course, it turns out just a humiliating face plant. So spectacular how incompetent these people are. But TMZ caught up with Senator Schmidt. And here is how he is responding to this. Play the clip. He Speaker 3 (1:43) gave his answer. And I guess that's his answer. It Speaker 4 (1:45) just looked like you had a gotcha for him. Like, you're going to purge yourself. Are you lying now? And then you had the wrong game. He was at a basketball game. But there was a Speaker 3 (1:52) different one. I asked him if he was in Atlanta. He said, no, he said it was another game. That's his answer. How did that Speaker 4 (1:56) mistake happen? It was not a mistake. Speaker 3 (1:57) I asked him if he was in Atlanta. The only Speaker 4 (1:59) NBA game going Speaker 3 (2:00) on, actually the only NCAA men's game or NBA game with a 730 tip-off was in Atlanta. So I asked him if he was in Atlanta that night. Speaker 1 (2:08) You know, it's fascinating that the party of personal accountability, just how these men from Donald Trump not admitting that Joe Biden beat him in 2020. And I bet if you ask this guy who won the 2020 election, he'd be like, well, we don't know, you know, that they cannot tuck their tail between their legs. This is a United States senator that can't say. We screwed up. He was clearly in Maryland. It's on tape that he was in Maryland. We had some overzealous interns, or blame it on whoever you want to, that got this wrong. We got it wrong. We're correcting the record, but he can't. He's like, well, that's his answer. He was at a basketball game, and he's sticking with the NBA line. You know, it's really difficult to out-crazy like a Josh Hawley. But the MAGA bench of crazies is so incredibly deep that once a new one appears and tries to say, ooh, this is my moment to shine, they out-crazy the last one. And their incompetence is even more evolved than the front of the bench. So it's really fascinating to watch that the Republican electorate sees themselves in these people. They see something, you know, like these people represent my values. So I just want to remind you as we watch all of this stuff with MAGA and they abuse us daily with all the shit they're doing. We don't see ourselves in these people. When I see him, I see a dipshit. I think I absolutely could never vote for a man that's that breathtakingly incompetent for United States Senator. But in the MAGA cult, they're like, oh, God, sign me up. Kristi Noem killed a dog. Giddy up. I mean, this is who these people are, not just their representatives, but the entire MAGA movement at large. And you may remember we reported yesterday that Kim Paxton was caught on a hot mic talking about how Trump's convention, Trumpapalooza, I think, I believe they called it, where Grindr crashed, that it hurt him in the polls. So Trump goes into Texas, rolls out this embarrassing WWE, let's worship our 80-year-old diaper-wearing buffoon. And Paxton, he doesn't poll any
