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.

    Dead Air: A Monumental Mess | Steve Schmidt, Dean Blundell, Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan

    Tacky gold trim, torn up sod, and a "reflecting pool" full of algae and dead ducks. You've really got to hand it to Donald Trump -- only he could make one of the most historic and picturesque cities in America look like the home and garden section of a foreclosed Big Lots. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell are joined by a pair of guests who've also "had it" with Donald's desecration of our nation's capitol: Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan of the "I've Had It" Podcast. Nothing and no one is safe from these four so we hope JD's eyeliner is waterproof today. Put on your best Erika Kirk death stare and come join us for this show that you do not want to miss!
