Steve Schmidt, ex-GOP strategist, 'Never Trumper' and host of "The Warning" podcast, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss the 2024 presidential election, how the Democratic Party and Kamala Harris failed, and how Donald Trump managed to build “a multiracial, multiethnic coalition.” Steve and Mehdi discuss the role of Gaza in the election, the significance of the punishment vote, and how Gaza would fare under a Trump presidency. “Donald Trump wouldn’t blink an eye or lose 30 seconds of sleep if a mushroom cloud went up over Gaza,” Steve tells Mehdi. “Whatever Netanyahu wishes to do, he has carte blanche.” They also discuss the future of the Democratic Party and America, and how the next four years of a Trump presidency would look.

Nina Simone (1933-2003)

"There's no other purpose, so far as I'm concerned, for us except to reflect the times, the situations around us and the things we're able to say through our art, the things that millions of people can't say. I think that's the function of an artist and, of course, those of us who are lucky leave a legacy so that when we're dead, we also live on. That's people like Billie Holiday and I hope that I will be that lucky, but meanwhile, the function, so far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times, whatever that might be."
