The Warning with Steve Schmidt

iHeartPodcastssteveschmidt.substack.com
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.

How Biden Must Make Donald Trump "The Weak Candidate"

Steve Schmidt reacts to the idea that the presidential election is between an old candidate vs. a dangerous candidate. The race will bend towards two different values that are both higher face cards than dangerous and old. A campaign that begins as a choice between dangerous and old will end as a choice between strong and weak. I am certain of something: there has never been a presidential race framed between strong and weak where weak prevailed. Ever. ** Subscribe for more and follow me here: S...

Nikki Haley Will Lose To Donald Trump Because Her Campaign Strategy Is Awful

Anything remains possible in America — with the exception of Nikki Haley beating Donald Trump.
