The Warning with Steve Schmidt

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

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. Steve Schmidt calls out the hypocrisy and analyzes the transformation into MAGA extremism. *** 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/

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

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. This debate represents character, morality, rule of law. It is America vs authoritarianism. *** 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'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? And what does it mean when the Biden campaign has a messaging problem? We have 174 days to turn this around, otherwise we face disaster. *** 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/

First it was Florida Senator Rick Scott. Then it was Senators J.D. Vance and Tommy Tuberville. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson has showed up to a New York courtroom to support the former president in his hush money trial. What does this say about the Republican party? It comes as new polling suggests Trump will win the election. Biden is losing and his messaging is nonexistent. He has 175 days to turn it around and save America. *** 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/

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." Callie is also a teacher and a lawyer and is advocating for her fellow Michiganders in the Upper Peninsula.

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? What about attacking the Capitol building or trying to overturn an election? What about being afraid to share election results? Where was their moral line with Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll? Steve Schmidt calls out the hypocrisy. *** 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/
