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.

There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life.

    DEBATE DEBACLE: It's Time for Biden to Step Aside... but What's Next for Democrats?

    DEBATE DEBACLE: It's Time for Biden to Step Aside... but What's Next for Democrats?

    After Biden's disastrous debate appearance against Donald Trump, he now faces a choice: his ego, or the country. Biden will not win against Trump in November. He cannot lead. And he must step aside. If he doesn't, Democratic leadership needs to step in. There is Chernobyl-level panic at the party but it's time for Biden to pass the torch.

    Trump is a Liar & a Convicted Felon. But He Broke His Presidential Oath. He Needs to be Defeated.

    Trump is a Liar & a Convicted Felon. But He Broke His Presidential Oath. He Needs to be Defeated.

    Donald Trump is a liar, a conman, and a convicted felon. He has disqualified himself from presidency, not through his rapes, not through his treacheries, not through his felonies, not through his contradictions & bullying, but because he shattered his oath, the only one that our founders thought important enough to put into the constitution. Biden needs to beat him decisively in the debate tonight. Everything is on the line and this is the only thing that matters to preserving democracy.

    "Hit Trump Hard & Don't F*** It Up!" Some Advice Before MOST Important Presidential Debate

    "Hit Trump Hard & Don't F*** It Up!" Some Advice Before MOST Important Presidential Debate

    Steve Schmidt used to offer candidates some advice before they headed into the debate arena and it was the same words the astronaut Alan Shepard was caught saying before blasting into space: "Dear Lord, please don’t let me f@#* this up." Biden should utter that prayer before Thursday's debate and he should hit Trump hard. Plus, all of Trump's endorsements lost their races this week except Lauren Boebert, who recently apologized for her sexual behavior at a "Beetlejuice" performance. What does she, Corey Lewandowski, and puppy killer Kristi Noem have in common? They all still worship the convicted felon, Donald Trump.

    Steve Schmidt Celebrates 2 Years of THE WARNING

    Steve Schmidt marks two years of the WARNING. While it has become a cliché to say that the election ahead is the most important of our lifetime, so long as democracy remains one election away from extinction in America, it will be true. Make no mistake, that isn’t hyperbole. We are one election away from ending the evolving American revolution.

    VP Hopeful Kristi Noem: "She's Too SICK Even For a Guy Like Trump"

    VP Hopeful Kristi Noem: "She's Too SICK Even For a Guy Like Trump"

    Trump Vice President hopeful and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appeared on "Meet the Press" this weekend. Why is she still being talked about like a credible Republican? Even though she said Trump should pick a woman as a running mate, only men are on his short list. When Noem shared her story of shooting her puppy, she also ruined her shot at becoming Vice President. Steve Schmidt explains.
