Steve Schmidt and comedian and actor Godfrey joined Don Lemon for "Hot Topics" to examine the troubled rollout of Trump's America 250 festivities, from the Reflecting Pool fiasco to a Confederate flag image displayed at a state pavilion, alongside a wave of hateful, racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric from Megyn Kelly, Tom Emmer, and other prominent Trump allies targeting Somali Americans and Haitians. At a moment meant to celebrate the nation's history, what kind of America is being presented?

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.
