The Warning with Steve Schmidt

iHeartPodcasts

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.

Steve Schmidt & Eliza Orlins: Darkness in Plain Sight

Attorney and former public defender Eliza Orlins of “Objection: Everything” joins Steve Schmidt to talk about the startling reporting on the online “rape academy” that no one is talking about but should be. It is depravity at a scale that is hard to wrap your head around: an online website where men across the globe could discuss, plan and share videos of their wives and partners being assaulted was visited 62 million times in one month alone – and the vast majority of its users are right here in the United States.

Steve Schmidt on the "Daily Beast" podcast: How I Will Shame King For Meeting Fascist Trump

Steve Schmidt returns to the "Daily Beast" podcast to unload a blistering critique of Donald Trump, King Charles III, and the global political order they’re reshaping, arguing the King’s U.S. visit is not just ill-timed, but a historic moral failure tied to Trump’s assaults on democracy and alliances. Speaking to Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty, Schmidt connects the dots from royal controversies and Jeffrey Epstein to Trump’s late-night social media tirades and questions about his mental fitness, warning of a dangerous erosion of institutional checks at the highest level of power. He predicts a political collapse for MAGA, a brutal electoral reckoning, and an internal unraveling fueled by conspiracy and infighting, while also torching both Republican complicity and Democratic weakness.
