Steve Schmidt explains why these protests are a "political disaster" that must be faced head-on. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

2:08.3	They see what they see.
2:11.6	And so what is it that we are seeing on America's college campuses? Mostly in the United States, we're seeing
2:23.4	students go to class. That's certainly the case at the overwhelming majority of American
