As part of the Save America Movement's 'Fighting Democrat' series, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear joins Steve Schmidt for a conversation about leadership, accountability and the obligations that come with public office at a moment when the American people are demanding answers about Mitch McConnell’s prolonged absence from public life. Public office is a public trust, and there can be no ambiguity about whether those entrusted with power are capable of exercising it.

They discuss what governing with integrity looks like, why elected leaders must serve every citizen rather than every faction, and how reckless foreign policy and self-inflicted economic damage are hurting working Americans. Governor Beshear makes the case that Democratic governors are showing the country what competent leadership looks like through results, not slogans, while arguing the party must once again compete everywhere in America — not just where it is comfortable. Above all, the conversation was a reminder that before we are Republicans or Democrats, we are Americans, and the country’s future depends on leaders who remember that simple truth.

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.
