26 days remain until election day. There's a lot of hyperbole around the day. This is the most

important election ever. But wait, I thought the last one was the most important election and the one

before that. This election is monumental. It's significant. It may determine the future of the country.

It will shape the next decades of our future. This is the warning.

Donald Trump is unhinged, and Donald Trump is perfectly clear. He's going to take away freedom.

He's going to punish his political enemies. He's going to do things that no president has ever tried to do to people who disagree with them.

It will be a shocking, frightening time. The name of this podcast is the warning. I have spent two

years trying to warn people, to warn my fellow Americans without anger, without animus, about the danger that they face. I've been trying

to get a message across for the last two years. I hope that I've had some success because it's

not a complicated message. I've never told anybody what to do, what to think, what to believe.

All I've ever asked is that people listen.

There's so much screaming, so much vituperation and anger and nonsense.

Listening is an essential skill.

It is an essential skill in all things. Donald Trump has told us who he is

over and over and over again. Yet for whatever reason, many scores of millions of Americans

cannot hear him. They laugh when a chill should be running through their bones because he means it,

every word of it. In the last three days, Donald Trump has held rallies. He has posted his carefully

curated thoughts online. He's appeared on podcasts. With each appearance, with each tweet,

Trump reveals his character, who he is.

Every parent in the country and every adult, everyone who's voting, remembers a moment in their

life when an adult told them, be careful of the company you keep, that who your friends are

says something about you.
