The Warning with Steve Schmidt
iHeartPodcastsThere 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

- Perfect mash up!
Today’s episode with Jennifer and Pump (I’ve Had It/IHIP News), was the mash up I needed to hear!! Steve nails it daily, and when you toss in some Dean Blundell…it’s truth and facts, with some much needed laughter. Great listen every time.

Ken Harbaugh, thank you for the work you’ve done. If only our tv personality could have had the dignity, fortitude, intelligence, patriotism, honor, and love of country of Zelensky.

Democrats are NOT weak. The Republicans are weak, and they show it every day.

I wish the Democrats would think more carefully about the cycle of constant criticism. When both Republicans and Democrats attack Democrats, it drives down public approval. Then, the low polling numbers are used as proof that Democrats are failing. It becomes a self-reinforcing loop.
It’s so frustrating because the actual policy record tells a different story. Under Democrats, the USA expanded healthcare, reduced deficits, pursued fairer taxes, avoided tariffs, and proposed large-scale investm... more
