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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T06:20:58.030791+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-warning-with-steve-schmidt-6301038"},"episode":{"title":"Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh & James Verini","slug":"steve-schmidt-ken-harbaugh-james-verini","published_at":"2026-05-06T20:02:20+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-warning-with-steve-schmidt-6301038/steve-schmidt-ken-harbaugh-james-verini","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-warning-with-steve-schmidt-6301038","url":"https://omny.fm/shows/the-warning-with-steve-schmidt/steve-schmidt-ken-harbaugh-james-verini","audio_url":"https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/33540024-ed06-44d0-a06c-b33100f8453e/79dfa1d9-a56b-4558-8b9b-b442013783bd/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=2307f122-2695-49ea-a058-b33100f84545","summary":"Steve Schmidt is joined by Ken Harbaugh and author James Verini to talk about his new book, “The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War.” Verini's book examines one of the darkest early moments of the war: Russia's bombing of the Donetsk Regional Academic Drama Theater, which killed hundreds of civilians. They also discuss that attack's legacy, and how Ukrainians have endured four years of death, destruction, and trauma without surrendering their will to fight.
