The Warning with Steve Schmidt

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/

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/
