I’m starting a new feature called “Hits & Misses of the Week.” If you’ve read and/or watched many of my commentaries this week, they’ve been about NBC’s disastrous decision to hire Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor. Not surprisingly then, both my hit and miss for this week come from NBC.
You can watch here, or you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform:
Note: If you would prefer to read the transcript, instead of playing the video right on this page/email, click on “Watch on YouTube” on the video screen below. At this point, you should be on the YouTube page or YouTube app. Scroll down past “Description” (section where it describes the content of the video) to “Transcript,” and then click on “Show transcript.” If you’re still having difficulty, visit youtube.com, and just search for “Steve Schmidt The Warning.” You’ll be brought to my YouTube channel. All of my videos are there, and you will see the "Transcript" option after each video description.
This past week’s commentaries
Below is your weekly recap if you’d like to get caught up.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for these weekend roundups, Steve- I apparently get interrupted reading /listening more often than I realize, as I'm just now collecting the gold near the end of a couple of these!
The BIG miss came later in the week when Trump posted a video of a truck with its tailgate painted to look like President Biden was tied up and unconscious in the bed of the truck. As Joyce Vance said, "If you or I did this, the Secret Service would be on our doorstep within hours."
Trump is on pre-trial release in four criminal trials. He is free under his own "recognizance." It is well past time to revoke that discretion and order him jailed pending trial since he has demonstrated that he is a clear and imminent danger to judges, *judges' families*, prosecutors, witnesses, jury members, and anyone not MAGA. Bonus: Then he may rethink his strategy of delay at all cost.
