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.

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.

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.

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."
