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.

Steve Schmidt: verrry intense--in the best possible way.
Thanks for calling out illegal/ immoral BS.

Thank you for guiding us through these tumultuous times. I can’t understand how and why all people can’t see what’s happening to our country. My only hope is we make it through long enough to put laws in place so that this never happens without someone going to prison! -I always said things would have to get real bad before MAGA’s spell was broken.
Godspeed, Steve Schmidt 👈🏽🫡❤️
