The Warning with Steve Schmidt

Former President and now convicted felon Donald Trump returns to Washington. He'll be on Capitol Hill for the first time since January 6th. And he's meeting with Republican lawmakers who subscribe to his MAGA movement. They are strategizing on ways to continue to amass power and they are a threat to America. Steve Schmidt explains what's at stake and why it must be stopped.***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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The controversial remarks by Justice Samuel Alito, caught on tape, show a level of corruption that's unprecedented. He is unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. His presence, along with Justice Clarence Thomas's corruption, is a threat to the American judiciary and to democracy. They are radicalized by the political MAGA... and if Trump is re-elected, he will work with them to make sure their vision of an extremist America is carried through.

Activist and documentary maker Lauren Windsor secretly recorded damning and incredible remarks from Justice Samuel Alito and his wife. They come after the couple has been linked to a number of controversies tying them to MAGA and the radical right. Steve Schmidt, who led Alito's confirmation hearings during the Bush administration, explains why he's unfit for the Supreme Court. "Autocracy has come to the Supreme Court. It's wearing judicial robes."***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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At a rally in Las Vegas, Trump continued his practice of spewing lies. This time, he said he never offended veterans. We know that's not true. And he's saying the January 6th insurrectionists were protestors and treated like hostages. Steve Schmidt warns about this dangerous rhetoric. ***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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former President & convicted felon Donald Trump sat down with TV personality Dr. Phil. The conversation was two celebrity fraudsters sitting together, role playing. One, a pretend therapist, the other, an aggrieved former president who lost an election but can't handle it psychologically. Maybe Dr. Phil should have talked about that.

There's been another report of a flag related to January 6th and the MAGA movement flying outside of Justice Samuel Alito's home.

Rudy Giuliani, once known as "America's Mayor," has had quite the downfall. This week, he released a commercial promoting his line of coffee. It comes as he is in the middle of bankruptcy and pleads not guilty to trying to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona. But his downfall is symbolic for American Democracy. At the turn of the millennium, then-President Clinton spoke of hope for a new generation of Americans. Instead, America democracy is being strangled by indifference and denialism.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continued her streak of extreme rhetoric by throwing racist remarks towards Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the freshman Democratic congresswoman from Texas. Crockett then asked the House Oversight Chair where he would dry the line for condemning personal attacks. That's when the phrase "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body" was born. Steve Schmidt explains why Crockett's question was not a personal attack but a brilliantly asked legal question and a quick-witted way to call out Republican hypocrisy. But this isn't the first time Rep. Crockett has called out things as she sees them. ***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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Trump Vice President contender erupted on Fox News this weekend after she was asked about her previous statements about President Trump. Back in 2015, when Stefanik was newly elected to congress, she told a local radio station that Trump was "insulting" to women and stood against what she was fighting for in politics. Years later, she has vowed total allegiance to Trump. This, coupled with Justice Samuel Alito's corruption and Senator Marco Rubio refusing to say he'll accept election results, is worrisome for democracy.

A New York Times report revealed that an upside-down American flag was flown outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito just days before Biden's inauguration. The perversion of the American flag, normally a symbol of distress, was co-opted by the seditionists who stormed the Capitol. This corrupt and despicable act has no place in America and no place inside the Supreme Court. As the man who led Alito's confirmation process, Steve Schmidt says he is "deeply ashamed" of his association with the Justice.***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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biden and Trump have agreed to debate. But the regular campaign cycle and schedule have gone out the window. There might even be an opening for Robert F. Kennedy Jr to join in. Biden must prepare for this debate because everything is on the line. There's worrisome reporting that he doesn't believe the polling. He should.

Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, recently became the head of the RNC aka the Grifter-in-Chief. She recently said that the Trump campaign will accept election results if they "feel" that it was a free and fair election. For the record, 2020 was the most fair election on record. And yet, they're trying to subvert it and put doubt into MAGA voters' minds. What does that mean for America, especially when our media institutions aren't covering this issue like they should?

Callie Barr was born and raised in Northern Michigan. Now, she's running for Congress to represent the state's 1st District. The incumbent, Jack Bergman, is a Trump-endorsed retired Marine who tried to overturn the 2020 election. As a military wife who knows the sacrifices American armed forces make to defend democracy, that doesn't sit well with Callie. "When you see a confederate flag in our nation's Capitol, that should strike outrage." She told Steve Schmidt. "And for that not to be the case, to me was against everything that we have fought for."

The Fox News Anchors are worked up and angry at one of their "MAGA princesses." It's because South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote a book and admitted to shooting her 14 month old puppy. But is that where their moral line should be drawn? Where was the outrage during the Trump presidency and the erosion of democracy?

This is an analysis of how a lying politician unravels on live TV. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appeared on Fox Business to promote her new book. The book was an effort to sell herself to the American people, in the hopes of becoming Trump's choice for Vice President. But the anchor wanted to focus on one anecdote: why she shot a puppy.

This weekend, the House passed an aid package including $60 billion dollars that will go to Ukraine.

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.

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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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/subscribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSESFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningsesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
