The Warning with Steve Schmidt

iHeartPodcasts

There 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 itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.

Iran War Update | Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh & Malcolm Nance
In today's episode of the Save America Movement's Iran war update with Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh and Malcolm Nance they discuss the ongoing war with Iran, which is clearly a failed strategic endeavor. They condemn the Trump administration’s removal of the names of the four U.S. service members killed in Iran-linked attacks from official casualty lists — a disgraceful act of stolen valor. The handling of the war is an escalating quagmire characterized by impulsiveness, a lack of historical awareness, and a failure to protect American interests, or properly honor the fallen. Lastly, they also discuss the administration’s potential efforts to politicize the military and suppress the midterm elections.

The Pentagon Just Erased Four American War Dead | Steve Schmidt & Jim Acosta
On today’s episode of “Oh Schmidt, It’s Friday” on “The Jim Acosta Show,” we discussed how the Pentagon has quietly revised the official death toll from Donald Trump’s war with Iran, reducing it from 18 American service members killed to 14. Jim and I examine one of the most disturbing episodes of the conflict: the decision to erase four soldiers from the official wartime death count because they died after the administration declared a disputed ceasefire. I argue that no commander in chief has the right to redefine sacrifice for political convenience. Jim asks what it says about the country when a president who avoided military service appears willing to manipulate the accounting of the dead, and why so many institutions — from Congress to veterans’ organizations — have remained silent in the face of it.

Ceasefire in Flames | Steve Schmidt & Ken Harbaugh
Two more Americans are dead. Another is missing. The war is widening, and in this conversation Steve Schmidt and Ken Harbaugh ask the question Washington refuses to confront: is America losing because of its enemies, or because of its own leadership? They argue that the greatest threat facing the United States is a collapse of strategic leadership at the White House and the Pentagon. They discuss a dangerous erosion of military professionalism, the consequences of politicizing the armed forces, and why Iran appears to be seizing the strategic initiative, while America’s credibility deteriorates. Steve and Ken also talk about the betrayal felt by Iranian dissidents who trusted American promises, only to be left behind, and they explain why every day the war continues without a coherent strategy raises the risk of more American lives being lost. It’s a sober, urgent conversation about leadership, accountability and the price of strategic failure.
