Description

At a time when our freedoms were under fire, Eric Schmitt and a small team at the Missouri Attorney Generals Office stood in the breach, fighting it out with the Left in the one place where truth still mattered: Americas courts.

It started with mask mandates. Then came the vaccine mandates. Then came wide open borders, the weaponization of government agencies, and a vast censorship enterprise that was created to crush dissent.

When Joe Biden took office, Eric Schmitt had been the attorney general of Missouri for just over two years, fighting crime and keeping the streets safe. As soon as he began seeing the outrageous overreaches of the Biden administration, he and his crack team of lawyers snapped into action, waging war on the Biden regimes stunning attempts at government overreach.

Now, in The Last Line of Defense Schmitt, a rising star in the GOP, takes readers behind the scenes of those battles for the first time. He describes how he and his team fought mask and vaccine mandates, battled illegal student loan forgiveness, and tried to hold back the tide of illegal immigration until conservatives could take back the White House. He also reveals how they uncovered and began to dismantle the Biden administrations vast censorship enterprise, laying the groundwork for the Twitter Files and all that came after. Today, with President Trump back in power and the left fighting him every step of the way, its more important than ever to remember just how close we came to losing it alland why we need to keep playing to win.

Reviews

"In The Last Line of Defense, Senator Schmitt lays out how he used every tool at his disposal to push back against a federal bureaucracy hell-bent on controlling the American people. Schmitt went toe-to-toe with the Biden administration and Big Tech. And in doing so, he reminded us that courage in public office still exists." -- J.D. Vance, Vice President of the United States

"To preserve the American tradition, we need smart warriors for commonsense, our middle class families, and the Constitution. In his new must-read The Last Line of Defense, Eric Schmitt bluntly and compellingly lays out what's at stake and how we can win the future." -- Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News Channel's The Ingraham Angle

"Reading The Last Line of Defense is like watching a highlight reel of conservative victories. Schmitt's legal battles were crucial in keeping the Leftist agenda at bay and buying us the time we needed to get my father back in the White House so we could restore sanity to our government. This book shows you exactly how he did it, how we can keep it going and proves that Eric Schmitt is a true champion of the people and one of the fighters we can count on." -- Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization

"Reading The Last Line of Defense, you're reminded the fight for freedom is never truly over. Eric Schmitt's time as Attorney General was a masterclass in how to use the law to defend ordinary Americans against the cultural revolution being waged by the Left. He saw the threats posed by Big Tech's censorship, and he didn't flinch. If you're tired of America becoming a post-liberal wasteland, this book will give you hope." -- Mollie Hemingway, bestselling author of Rigged, Fox News contributor, and editor-in-chief of The Federalist

"As Missouri's Attorney General, Eric Schmitt stood in the gap between government overreach and the constitutional rights of the people, and he did not back down. He valiantly fought back against Covid authoritarianism, the radical agenda coming from D.C., and the relentless attacks on our Second Amendment. In The Last Line of Defense he lays bare the truth about the fight against those who would turn our own legal system against us." -- Dana Loesch, host of the nationally syndicated Dana Show and bestselling author of Hands Off My Gun

"Reading The Last Line of Defense is like sitting in the war room during some of the most consequential legal fights of our time. Eric Schmitt doesn't just talk about defending liberty--he shows you how it's done. He walks you through the filings, the strategies, the late-night decisions, all with the tenacity of someone who understands that the rule of law is the foundation of our republic."
-- Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator from Texas
