Dead Air

On today's episode of "Dead Air" Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell talk about the final weeks before the midterms — and what must come next. Congress must come back to life. The Article I branch must be prepared to impose its constitutional authority on the Article II branch. That means oversight. Investigations. The power of the purse. And accountability from hour one. The future of...

Trump pulls out the White House tour and a military flyover for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Cool planes, right? Xi? Xi, did you see my bombers? Then there’s Nancy Mace’s new podcast, "Get Maced," where she puts on a Catwoman costume and explains why the Iran war needs to end — just not until after the election. It’s a good laugh until you remember this is real life and th...

Fan favorite Marshan Camese returns to "Dead Air" today. Steve and Dean talk all things Louisiana with him: the new congressional map, the shake-up to this year’s elections, and Louisiana’s truly remarkable ability to keep sending guys like Mike Johnson and Clay Higgins to Washington — Higgins being the only member of the entire U.S. House to vote against the bill compelling the...

Return of the Mitch (There he is). Return of the Mitch (Rollin’ in). Return of the Mitch (Peace sign). You knew that he’d be back (Did we?). Return of the Mitch (Thumbs up).

Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell also head north as Trump’s trade war with...

Dead Air is back — and this time, Steve and Dean are coming to you from Europe. They’re traveling with their 20-year-old sons through some of the darkest chapters in human history, showing them how fascism took hold in Nazi Germany: slowly, one day at a time. Dachau didn’t start as a death camp. It started as a work camp and the parallels are impossible to ignore. Steve and Dean...

Donald Trump has spent the year making Washington look a little more like… Donald Trump.

If there’s one thing you can count on from this White House, it’s a good ole scam.

Plus, we’re revisiting Steve and Dean’s c...

Donald Trump has a lot going on. He’s pulling the last U.S. aircraft carrier out of the Pacific, Iran says the latest agreement is dead, and Americans are getting crushed by the cost of groceries, gas, and health insurance.

Donald Trump got booed by a crowd in Vegas, can't seem to locate his missile stockpile, crashed out on Truth Social (surely not after midnight), and he dropped the hair-loss drug he's used for years — but who needs those when you've got a smokin' hot wig? Steve and Dean are here for all of it. In case you were wondering, yes, Steve's wig is on the way. Live at 12 pm ET, "Dead Air" is back to...

On today's episode of "Dead Air" with Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell, they assert that the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner was more than an embarrassing spectacle.

Does it mean the entire Democratic party i...

Tacky gold trim, torn up sod, and a "reflecting pool" full of algae and dead ducks.
