We're coming up on an important anniversary in our nation's history. In January 1776, Thomas Paine wrote "Common Sense", one of the most important founding documents in American history. 1776 was a crucial year: the Declaration of Independence was signed, but the rebel forces were on the brink of disaster. The winter of 1776 was brutal, Washington's forces had suffered a string of defeats, and many were ready to give up. Washington had to do something. In December, he had "Common Sense" read out to his troops, then attacked and defeated a Hessian mercenary force at the Battle of Trenton. Some say this saved the American Revolution. Does America need a dose of "Common Sense" today? Speaking of common sense, the then-Missouri Attorney General, Eric Schmitt, sued the government of China over the Wuhan COVID-lab leak. Now China has filed a retaliatory lawsuit for $50 Billion against now-Senator Schmitt! The Senator is here to tell you about that and his reaction to President Trump's speech.
