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 its... more

    From Another Great Admirer

  • Clear messaging but has a tendency to become repetitive.

    The Warning has a very clear message and is generally short and to the point. Steve seems to care greatly about the well being of The United States and knows what he’s talking about from the political and historical perspective. Currently, however, I feel that he’s going around in circles and becoming rather repetitive and a tad overly bombastic to make up for it. I also agree that the ads are overly loud, generally for something obscure and bizarre and interrupt the flow. Despite those issues, ... more

  • Interesting essays and conversations

    Steve’s observations about what’s happening in politics are excellent. I would have given this six stars, but sometimes “effing” adverts interrupt and the train of logic gets

    lost while I try to advance over them. Also the audio volume of adverts is way too loud. This podcast is one of my daily must-listen-to fare. Keep up the good work and fix where the adverts blast in.
