Fighting Americans: Mr. Worldwide Loser | Steve Schmidt & Timothy Snyder

The Warning with Steve Schmidt

Show Notes

Steve Schmidt sits down with historian and author Timothy Snyder for a conversation about the future of American democracy and what it'll take to put the country back together. They get into Trump's tough-guy act and how losing abroad makes that image a whole lot harder to sell. Plus, the Republican Party's crisis of dignity, the fight to restore the rule of law, and why Democrats need to take ownership of the corruption problem. Steve also puts Snyder in the hot seat as chief of staff to a future president, with one big assignment: figure out how to rebuild the American military after four years of Pete Hegseth. And from Canada to Greenland, they take a look at how America is treating its neighbors — and what that says about where the country is headed. From Trump's tough-guy act to the monumental job of cleaning up the mess this administration will leave behind, there's plenty to unpack. "Fighting Americans" is brought to you by the Save American Movement.
