Steve Schmidt explains why Jim Jordan is "unfit" to be Speaker of the House | The Warning

Steve Schmidt breaks down the complete and total dysfunction among the Republican members of the House of Representatives and how their inability to govern will only increase if they move forward with plans to make Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio the next Speaker of the House. Steve explains how Jordan's complicity in trying to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump and his petulant style of governing make him completely unfit to be second in the line of presidential succession. Steve goes on to talk about how Fox News' biggest names like Sean Hannity, have become the Republican conference themselves, even going as far as to pressure GOP holdouts to vote for Jordan.

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.
