This week, the former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified in Trump's criminal trial. He said that he fabricated stories, including one about Ted Cruz's family, that Trump used on the campaign trail. Steve Schmidt explains that the media lying at the behest of Trump is old news. He explains how he was at the center of a smear campaign to ruin his credibility by linking him to the former president. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

This weekend, the House passed an aid package including $60 billion dollars that will go to Ukraine. Steve Schmidt explains why this is necessary not just to help Kyiv, but for America to ward off World War III. And despite the GOP extremists, House Speaker Mike Johnson formed a coalition and moved along this important legislation. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt speaks with Michael LaRosa, a political advisor who previously served as the Press Secretary for First Lady Jill Biden and was a special advisor to President Joe Biden. He speaks candidly about the love story of the President and his wife, how faith is a centerpiece of their life, and how they balance nightly dinner with reading briefing books. Steve and Michael also discuss the strategy to guard Joe Biden in the 2024 campaign race in order to protect him. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

The Trump campaign sent a letter to other GOP candidates across America: If you want to use President Donald Trump's name, you should pay up. This strategy is not unlike how John Gotti and mob bosses receive kick backs from people beneath them. But in American politics, this could lead to Russian-style oligarchy and straight-up corruption. Steve Schmidt explains the latest grift of campaign gangsterism. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Donald Trump is forced to take part in his criminal trial daily. Tied to the courtroom, Trump is sleepy, worried, and naked. He is unmasked, just like the Wizard of Oz. Without his rallies and propaganda trumpets, he is stripped bare of his bully exterior. This is a huge moment of opportunity for one person: Joe Biden. His campaign must pounce on this moment and strike hard. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Former President Donald Trump gave a bizarre (and false) retelling of the Battle of Gettysburg at a rally over the weekend. Steve Schmidt explains why this would be a totally different media story if Biden had said those exact words... and why it should be a warning not to vote for Trump come November. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

For the first time in American history, a former president will be facing a criminal trial. Steve Schmidt explains the responsibility of the jury, made of up Donald Trump's peers. He says that there should be no rooting for political outcomes, but rather upholding of the law. "The criminal trial is not a proxy for an election," Steve explains. "This is a moment where Donald Trump's fiercest critics must be his most vociferously defenders for a fair trial." *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Trump & MAGA Republicans grand strategy has now backfired and they should expect a "tsunami" of voters turning out this November. That's Steve Schmidt's big miss of the week.

Two top Republicans, US House intelligence committee Chair Mike Turner and Foreign Affairs committee Chair Michael McCaul, have said that Russian propaganda has "infected" their party. They said that their colleagues are repeating Kremlin messaging on the Capitol floor. Steve Schmidt reacts to this news and explains how these lies have gone unchecked and why it is a threat to American democracy. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

This week, Arizona's Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law that bans abortion across the state. Women there and across the country can thank Donald Trump for putting religious extremists on the bench of the Supreme Court, leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the eroding of abortion rights. But it's not just Arizona facing this issue; other 19th century laws are being reinstated across the country to crackdown on rights against women's bodies. Steve explains why male politicians would never stand for this and suggests how people can fix this GOP problem in the November election. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt reacts to reports that Donald Trump wants Ukraine to give up regions to Russia to end the war. He explains why this is harmful for democracy everywhere and why Trump venerates Russian dictator Vladimir Putin so much.

After months of not taking a position, Donald Trump announced that he believes it should be up to the states to decide what the abortion rights are. Steve Schmidt reacts to the announcement and says that Trump is once again playing "a double game on social issues." He also bashes the Republican party that has increasingly inserted themselves into the bedrooms of Americans and says that "no man would tolerate this" type of legislation. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

This week, the group known as "No Labels" said they wouldn't be putting up a third party "unity ticket" for the 2024 election. Steve explains why this movement, which had so much chatter around it, failed to produce anything. Plus, he picks out the hit of the week - and you'll be surprised to find out what it has to do with Trump wanting to pull out of NATO. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 56 years ago, on April 4, 2028. Steve Schmidt recalls the speech he gave the night before he was killed and how those words still have meaning today. He also remembers the improvised words of Robert Kennedy at a speech in Indianapolis, moments after finding out Dr. King had been killed. He calls these two men the "finest of patriots" and explains why it's important to honor their legacy by voting for American values & democracy.

Steve Schmidt visits Treblinka, a Polish extermination camp where 900,000 people were killed in the Holocaust. From the site of the atrocities, Steve speaks directly to Mark Robinson, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina. The Republican candidate for governor is a Holocaust denier who has called it "hogwash." Steve says that he is unfit for office and anyone who votes for him is an accessory to denying the memory of those killed. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt is in Warsaw, Poland. While making his way through the old town, he came across a fascist rally. While fascism might look different in Europe than it does in America, it still exists and its "character is the same." He explains how Trump extremism is leading towards this worrying trend. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt sits down to speak with Gen-Z political activist Harry Sisson. Harry says he became aware of the danger of Trump when he was 15 years old and has worked since then to make sure he doesn't return to office. Steve and Harry talk about whether the campaign strategy to keep Biden cloistered inside is working, how Trump's America parallels historical periods of fascism, and what older people get wrong about Gen-Z. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt speaks with Charlie Sadoff, director and producer of the new documentary "Against All Enemies."

Donald Trump, the same President who used tear gas to clear a square so he could pose for a picture in front of a church and hold up a bible, is now dabbling back in religion. This holy week, he's pushing a $60 bible that you can buy for yourself. Steve Schmidt says he didn't think Trump could "ever go lower when it came to the desecration of Christianity." But now, "when it came to full on frontal blasphemy, he went lower. It's a miracle if you think about it."

Are Gen-Z voters only motivated by their own interest? Steve Schmidt poses the question to Kaivan Shroff, the Press Secretary for Dream for America.

Steve Schmidt speaks with Kaivan Shroff, the press secretary for Gen-Z led non-profit Dream for America. They gave a key endorsement for President Biden in 2024... but Steve asks whether young voters can make the difference in the next election.

Former President Donald Trump was asked in a bizarre interview if he was uniquely protected by a higher power to fight against the court cases that "were made to destroy" him.

One thing Donald Trump will do differently in the 2024 campaign is choose a woman to be his running mate. He knows that having a white Republican man won't help his political chances.

Steve Schmidt talks about the new reporting that Trump would praise the actions of Hitler. This is not the first time the former President has expressed affinity for tyrants and dictators. But what could that mean if he was elected to a second term in office? Steve says that we've already seen what happened when he lost an election and argues that the second term will be worse. "Tyrants rise when democracies weaken. in the 1930s, Fascism rose, not because it was strong, but because democracy was weak. And now, something is rising all over the world. The United States got a taste of it between 2016 and 2020.

This week, South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace appeared in a fiery interview on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” During the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Mace how she could square being a rape survivor with endorsing the former president who was found liable by a jury for sexual assault. This endorsement also comes after Rep. Mace said he should never hold office again for his role in the Capitol attack on January 6th. Steve Schmidt calls this hypocritical reversal a “moral rot” and representative of a larger movement in the Republican party.

Following President Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, Alabama Senator Katie Britt gave the Republican response. Steve Schmidt calls this official rebuttal historic because of its "strange" and "astonishing" tone, filled with "crocodile tears" and fear-mongering. Steve shares his thoughts on whether Sen.

President Biden focused on democracy, the economy, and the border in his 2024 State of the Union address. While he never mentioned former President Donald Trump by name, he repeatedly attacked his predecessor as a threat to American institutions. Biden even joked about his age, acknowledging concerns from those both within and outside of his party.

Billionaire entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” investor Mark Cuban said he’d vote for Joe Biden even if “he was being given last rites” before he voted for Donald Trump. Cuban has been critical of Trump and told Bloomberg that he planned on voting for his Republican opponent Nikki Haley in the Texas Primary on Super Tuesday. But is Cuban emblematic of a larger trend of anti-Trump Republicans? Will they follow his stance and jump parties come Election Day?

President Biden will be speaking to his largest television audience of 2024 — barring national catastrophe — when he delivers the State of the Union. After the State of the Union, the next big national address to which Americans will tune in is the convention speech. What will he say? What must he say? What policy nugget will make it into the speech? The cable news stations will go into a frenzy speculating about the speech that most people will have zero memory of one week later.

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: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Steve Schmidt explains why Tucker Carlson is in Moscow. Tucker Carlson has become a dangerous demagogue in recent years. His actions and conduct are reprehensible. He is no journalist. He is a very bad American. Tucker Carlson is a stooge, and specifically he is Putin’s stooge. What a disgrace. ** Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

Anything remains possible in America — with the exception of Nikki Haley beating Donald Trump. What began as an audition for vice president has become a meaningless slog against the most dangerous demagogue in American history. Her campaign is exquisitely awful, small and uninspiring, calling Trump a “grumpy old man” (along with President Biden), as if that is the problem with Trump. ** Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

The MAGA message is breaking through in Eastern Pennsylvania. The intimations towards violence are real. Millions of Americans have absorbed the malice. Some of those people are as twisted and sick as Justin Mohn, and Trump knows that.
