Hey folks, Just got off the road and back on the mic with today’s guest Steve Schmidt—and this one’s a barn burner. We covered a lot of ground, but if you’re tracking the Epstein cover-up, worried about the rise of Trump’s secret police, or just trying to make sense of where the hell our democracy is headed, you need to watch this. Steve and I don’t hold back. We talk about the cowardice in our politics, the corruption running wild through our institutions, and what it’s really going to take to build a Democratic Party that can win again—not just electorally, but morally and for the long term. This is one of those episodes I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Here’s a glimpse of what we covered: [04:55] JD Vance’s hush-hush meetings and the real reason Ghislaine Maxwell might get a pardon [13:40] Steve unpacks the creation of a fascist ICE militia—and what he’s doing to expose it [24:10] Why Democrats keep falling into the same traps—and how we start fighting smart [38:45] A raw look at the 2025 midterms, the establishment’s blind spots, and what’s coming next [50:15] The plane, the pardon, and the symbolic power we must reclaim in Project 2029 This one’s a must-watch if you care about power, accountability, and the future of the Democratic Party. If you believe in building a party that fights for people—and fights to win—I need you with me. Endless Urgency is 100% reader-supported.
