Sharon McMahon on the flaws of our founding fathers and more
On this week’s edition of The Warning podcast, I had the opportunity to speak with Sharon McMahon, a former high school government and law teacher on a mission to combat political misinformation by sharing non-partisan facts about the US government, democracy and history. She is the host of the top-rated “Here’s Where It Gets Interesting” podcast, seeking to inspire people to become more well-informed citizens — something that I admire tremendously. We covered a lot, including the flaws of our founding fathers, the failures of American education, and the dangers of Trump & the MAGA movement weaponizing history.

Sharon McMahon: "We are the people we've been waiting for."
Elie Wiesel: "The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
Thank you, Sharon and Steve, for your devotion to education and for telling the whole story about our civics and our history, and that WE are the ones who are shaping this history now; there is no 'savior'. We all will determine the future and quality education is imperative to protect Democracy.
This conversation is invaluable for these times. You are both powerful educators - truly inspiring!!
This is the reason I am a Warning Substack subscriber! It was by far one of the most interesting conversations I’ve listened to. Thank you, Steve!
