Description
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.

I was ready to sign up and support/ volunteer with Adam Frisch, then I saw this. Where do you stand, Steve? https://www.nolabels.org/no-labels-awards-its-problem-solver-seal-to-candidate-adam-frisch.
In response to Steve's question about andrew tate, it's very disappointing to hear Maria recommend focusing on the "positive" influences in her mens' lives. the elephant in the room is that so many young men simply do not have those positive influences. that is exactly why they fall under the influence of Tate or Jordan Peterson, Carlson etc. her response was woefully insulated and way too long. Steve you are on the right track asking these questions. thank you.
God, this is a smart interview. Just brilliant.
