This is Steve Schmidt and welcome to another edition of the Warning podcast. And today I am really happy to bring you Chris Whipple.

He is the investigative reporter, the political journalist who has written the book that is in the news,

detailing what happened in the 2024 election. The name of the book is uncharted,

how Trump beat Biden, Harris, and the odds in the wildest campaign in history. There is a profound

issue in my view that is raised in this book. It's the second of three books that have been talked about publicly

that will be coming out, that look at the White House decision making and Biden's condition,

the implications of it all, the consequences of the decision, the accountability for that decision, and of course,

the full magnitude of the crisis right now.

We're going to get into it with Chris Whipple, but when you read this book, and it's urgent that you do read this book,

buy this book, you need to understand

the dynamics of power.

And this book will help you do that.

And when I read these books, what they are is first drafts of history.

This will be an issue that is studied in the United States.

50 years from now, 50 years from now,

75 years from now, it will have as long an endurance,

as did the questions around Edith Wilson's decisions during that administration and how she handled her incapacitated husband.

Now, Edith Wilson, after President Wilson had a stroke, never relented from her conviction

that she did the right thing and did what Woodrow Wilson would have wanted

her to do. Of course, if you have responsibility for maintaining a constitutional republic,

it was the wrong thing to do. The continuity of constitutional power in succession does not flow through the president's wife.

And so with no further ado, I want to bring Chris Whipple into the conversation and get started.
