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.

Anonymous pod addict ,

Bravo Mr Schmidt!

On every podcast you hit the nail on the head and knock it out of the park - if you’ll kindly overlook the mixed metaphor. As a Canadian who has watched in horror as American politics have devolved into an autocratic nightmare, I pray the American public is paying attention and understands the significance of the vote they’ll cast in a mere 189 days. It isn’t just the stability and future of American society that hangs in the balanced, it is the future stability of our entire planet that hangs in the balance. Please America, take this vote as seriously as the future demands. No clear thinking human wants to live in the dystopian nightmare Trump and his henchmen are promising to deliver. For the sake of our future stability, please pay attention…🙏🏻🙏🏻
