Description
There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.

A New York Times report revealed that an upside-down American flag was flown outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito just days before Biden's inauguration. The perversion of the American flag, normally a symbol of distress, was co-opted by the seditionists who stormed the Capitol. This corrupt and despicable act has no place in America and no place inside the Supreme Court. As the man who led Alito's confirmation process, Steve Schmidt says he is "deeply ashamed" of his association with the Justice.

Biden and Trump have agreed to debate. But the regular campaign cycle and schedule have gone out the window. There might even be an opening for Robert F. Kennedy Jr to join in. Biden must prepare for this debate because everything is on the line. There's worrisome reporting that he doesn't believe the polling. He should. This debate represents character, morality, rule of law. It is America vs authoritarianism.

Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, recently became the head of the RNC aka the Grifter-in-Chief. She recently said that the Trump campaign will accept election results if they "feel" that it was a free and fair election. For the record, 2020 was the most fair election on record. And yet, they're trying to subvert it and put doubt into MAGA voters' minds. What does that mean for America, especially when our media institutions aren't covering this issue like they should? And what does it mean when the Biden campaign has a messaging problem? We have 174 days to turn this around, otherwise we face disaster.

First it was Florida Senator Rick Scott. Then it was Senators J.D. Vance and Tommy Tuberville. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson has showed up to a New York courtroom to support the former president in his hush money trial. What does this say about the Republican party? It comes as new polling suggests Trump will win the election. Biden is losing and his messaging is nonexistent. He has 175 days to turn it around and save America.

Callie Barr was born and raised in Northern Michigan. Now, she's running for Congress to represent the state's 1st District. The incumbent, Jack Bergman, is a Trump-endorsed retired Marine who tried to overturn the 2020 election. As a military wife who knows the sacrifices American armed forces make to defend democracy, that doesn't sit well with Callie. "When you see a confederate flag in our nation's Capitol, that should strike outrage." She told Steve Schmidt. "And for that not to be the case, to me was against everything that we have fought for." Callie is also a teacher and a lawyer and is advocating for her fellow Michiganders in the Upper Peninsula.

The Fox News Anchors are worked up and angry at one of their "MAGA princesses." It's because South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote a book and admitted to shooting her 14 month old puppy. But is that where their moral line should be drawn? Where was the outrage during the Trump presidency and the erosion of democracy? What about attacking the Capitol building or trying to overturn an election? What about being afraid to share election results? Where was their moral line with Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll? Steve Schmidt calls out the hypocrisy.

This is an analysis of how a lying politician unravels on live TV. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appeared on Fox Business to promote her new book. The book was an effort to sell herself to the American people, in the hopes of becoming Trump's choice for Vice President. But the anchor wanted to focus on one anecdote: why she shot a puppy. Steve Schmidt analyzes this interview and explains how politicians become unraveled when they are asked (legitimate) questions they don't like.

These are the best Republicans Donald Trump has to choose from for a running mate? The puppy killer and political liar from South Dakota, Gov. Kristi Noem, won't take responsibility for lying in her new book. And Senator Tim Scott is pissing on the grave of the Unknown Soldier by denying a free and fair election. On this VE Day, we call out the threats to America in an effort to preserve democracy.

Steve Schmidt speaks with political strategist Mathew Littman. Littman, who serves as a senior advisor for Brady United Against Gun Violence as well as the Biden-Harris Campaign, offered some key insights into what Americans should be making of the 2024 election.

Plus, Steve and Mathew talk about the chilling plans in Trump's Time magazine interview and Mathew asks Steve if he thinks Trump will lock him up if he gets back into office; "It's an incredible question to be asked."

Trump's Vice Presidential hopefuls, Governor Kristi Noem, Senator Tim Scott, and Senator Marco Rubio made their rounds to the Sunday morning political shows this week. Their interviews were riddled with lies, evasive non-answers, and ridiculous hypotheticals. Steve Schmidt tears apart their appearances and explains how they were speaking to an audience of one: the "Liar-in-Chief," the former President, Donald Trump.

The protests on college campuses are a political disaster. The rhetoric around it will serve as "rocket fuel" for the Trump Campaign heading into November. Steve Schmidt explains why extremism on both sides - and the elimination of a centrist America - will lead Trump to victory.

At elite universities across America, protestors are disrupting campus life and classes as they demonstrate against Israel. But many of these students, like "Keffiyeh Karen" are misguided, petulant, and silly. And if the protests and standoffs continue into the fall, it will be a huge factor in the election. Steve Schmidt explains why these protests are a "political disaster" that must be faced head-on.

He explains how he was at the center of a smear campaign to ruin his credibility by linking him to the former president.
