This week, I had the opportunity to join ’s excellent Narrativ podcast. Here’s the summary that Zev provided about our conversation:
I had a profound conversation with Steve Schmidt, the founder of “The Warning” and a seasoned veteran of numerous high-profile campaigns. We delve into the intricacies of Donald Trump’s hush money trial and its potential impact on the 2024 presidential race.
Our wide-ranging conversation covers Steve’s invaluable assessment of Trump’s electoral chances, the pivotal role of the MAGA propaganda ecosystem, and the pressing challenges facing Joe Biden. Steve’s analysis of who will win in November and the hush money trial is a must-listen. He also shares advice for Joe Biden on making a compelling case for his leadership.
I got to know Steve during the 2008 election, and I deeply respect his political acumen and unwavering, steadfast commitment to democratic principles. He also discusses standing up for our freedoms, drawing inspiration from Pope John Paul II’s courageous calls to “be not afraid.”
No matter your political persuasion, Steve’s trenchant analysis is essential listening for anyone who cares about our country’s future.
Towards the end of our conversation, I talk about the impact that fighting against Trump and Trumpism for the past nine years has had on my life. I hope you’ll watch or listen until the very end to hear what I have to say.
