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.

The Warning with Steve Schmidt

This podcast features in-depth conversations and political analysis with Steve Schmidt and newsmakers, independent journalists, and elected officials. It covers the biggest stories of the day, including those that aren’t being widely reported by the mainstream media.

If you’re worried that U.S. strikes in heavily-populated areas of Iran amount to a violation of the world’s shakiest cease-fire agreement, breathe easy. Our fearless leader and Commander-in-Chief assures us they’re just a “love tap” and that all is well in the most militarized and unstable part of the world. Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh and Malcolm Nance break down the lunacy that is the Trump Administration’s “plan” in Iran and what it means for the people who really matter: the U.S. servicemen and women standing by, waiting for these amateurs to decide their fate.

Steve Schmidt is joined by former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who knows a thing or two about heroism. He was one of only two Republicans brave enough to sit on the January 6th Committee. Now this former Congressman and U.S. Air Force Officer has written a children’s book about everyday heroes. This conversation isn’t just about a new book, it’s about why the next generation of Americans needs real role models, particularly in this politically divisive time.
