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.

Stephen Miller Should Worry Every American | Steve Schmidt

Setting the Stage for a Critical Discussion

The Escalating War with Iran

The Blue Angels Incident: A Symptom of a

The Culture of Impunity and Loss of

The Impact on Military Morale and Patriotism

The Long-Term Consequences for the Pentagon

The Iranian Strategy and America's

Trump's Failure and the Tragic Loss for

The Futile War and Future Prospects

Two more Americans are dead. Another is missing. The war is widening, and in this conversation Steve Schmidt and Ken Harbaugh ask the question Washington refuses to confront: is America losing because of its enemies, or because of its own leadership?

They argue that the greatest threat facing the United States is a collapse of strategic leadership at the White House and the Pentagon. They discuss a dangerous erosion of military professionalism, the consequences of politicizing the armed forces, and why Iran appears to be seizing the strategic initiative, while America’s credibility deteriorates.

Steve and Ken also talk about the betrayal felt by Iranian dissidents who trusted American promises, only to be left behind, and they explain why every day the war continues without a coherent strategy raises the risk of more American lives being lost.

It’s a sober, urgent conversation about leadership, accountability and the price of strategic failure.

Today's episode of "Dead Air" is coming at you harder and faster than a Blue Angels flyover at a Florida Beach. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell tackle Pentagon Pete's plans to provide gender-affirming care to the troops, the ex-wife of the ICE agent who shot and killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero exposing him as a violent loser who should never have been given a gun. Tara Palmeri joins to discuss Todd Blanche's humiliation in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Epstein survivors. Oh, and did you see Sen. Jon Ossoff's masterful takedown of DNI nominee Jay Clayton? If competence is your thing then you need to tune in. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.
