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
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!!
Now I’ve seen, heard and learned from one of, if not the finest conversation that has been offered in my time as a Warning subscriber..Thank you Steve and thank you Ms. McManhon..you now have a new podcast subscriber..
US is at the place the founding fathers never imagined. This is what is happening. https://youtu.be/6wmxbJFbD_A?si=xyXsATgZYSVyNYO9 Trump told the congress GOP he does not want the border deal so that he can blame it on Biden and they obey. So there will be no Ukraine aid either also because the orange man thinks it is making Biden look really good otherwise. Also “ On the 24th of February 2024 - the second anniversary of Russia’s full-fledged invasion of Ukraine - a huge rally will take place near the Lincoln Memorial at 2PM. All pro-Ukrainian activists in the United States are encouraging people to spread the word.” https://news.yahoo.com/long-putin-attempts-commit-genocide-205935882.html
Let's have a Constitutional Convention PodCast or TV show where legal experts, citizens, government officials, can go through section by section upgrading the Constitution. This exercise will I hope be to Congress and President what the Jan 6 Congressional Hearing was to DOJ. A great educational event like a class on creating and upgrading a Constitution.
I have always thought that we do way to much hero worship...I know we want to inspire our children, but they need to see humans for what they really are.
Hi Steve, Just finally listened to most of Trumps CPAC speech and in the speech he talks about Afghanistan and how shit scared he was of landing there. Anyway during the diatribe he talked about Bagram and how he wasn't allowed to do something (he rambles so I can't always follow, but he said he wasn't allowed because it was only an hour from something about China's nuclear site. Did he just give up state secrets? I couldn't find anything on where China makes nuclear weapons or materials.

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!
Amen!
Such a great & very pertinent discussion! History students, who we all are, need to be taught the whole truth!

No doubt! This type conversation should be included in our school curriculum. Students of all ages should know that the truth is out there!

Let's fix it.
She is a teacher of extraordinary abilities!
