Steve Schmidt & Timothy Snyder: Restoring Rule of Law and Cleaning Up Post-Hegseth Pentagon Decay

Steve Schmidt sits down with renowned historian and author Timothy Snyder (On Tyranny, On Freedom) on FIGHTING AMERICANS for a comprehensive discussion on the future of American democracy and institutional reconstruction. Steve and Snyder examine the unraveling optics of executive posturing, detailing how foreign policy missteps and diminished standing abroad undercut authoritarian appeals at home. The conversation explores the Republican Party's institutional crisis of dignity, the urgent necessity of restoring rule of law, and why pro-democracy leaders must directly confront systemic corruption. Steve also challenges Snyder to lay out a blueprint for rebuilding defense infrastructure and restoring professional norms across the military following Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon.
