The Warning with Steve Schmidt Steve Schmidt

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.

Dogs or Democracy? Fox News Hosts (Finally?) Draw a Moral Line
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.

How a Lying Politician Unravels on Live TV: An Analysis
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.

MONUMENTS OF IDIOCY: Trump's VP Contenders are Shameful
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.

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."

DEBACLE FOR TRUTH: Trump's VP Contenders Audition for "Liar-In-Chief" on Sunday Shows
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.

TRUMP'S ROCKET FUEL: How Extremism, Protests, and Fads Will Lead to a Trump Victory
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.
