You've got questions. I have some answers. This is the Schmidt storm. Let's get going.

The question is, what do I think about Donald Trump revoking Secret Service protection for Mike Pompeo and John Bolton?

This is very important for everybody to understand. The Iranian regime has threatened assassination of high-level

American officials on American soil. And fundamentally, the Biden administration did nothing about

this. And this is unacceptable. And I want to say that it's unacceptable through the prism of being a

political opponent of Mike Pompeo and of John Bolton. I disagree with them. Disagreed with

their service in the Trump administration. But their service in the Trump administration served the

people of the United States who elected Donald Trump,

and Iranians have no right to kill any of these people, including Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is our problem, not an Iranian problem. And in America, we deal with problems

at the ballot box. What Donald Trump did after the Biden administration did

nothing is take away their security in an act of retribution and smallness and pettiness. And it's wrong.

And it endangers those lives. And let's be clear about something. If somebody came in to the Oval

office and said to Donald Trump,

Mr. President, someone just shot Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, would Donald Trump say,

oh my God, or would he say good? And anybody who thinks that Donald Trump wouldn't say good

hasn't been paying attention. And they're ignorant

of the events of January 6th when he sent his mob to hang his vice president. And when he was

told the vice president was in danger, he said a version of good. He deserves it. The question is,

what is my reaction to Elon Musk's non-apology

for the Hitler's salute and then his poem that he released on X, where he mocks his Hitler

salute and the outrage over it. January 27th will be the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
