Dead Air is a twice-weekly podcast that keeps score of the mainstream media, featuring Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell. On Mondays, they autopsy the Sunday morning shows, grade the hosts, and call out what's been ignored. On Fridays, they focus on stories the mainstream media aren't widely reporting. With mainstream media, it's not just about what they cover. It's about what they don't. Steve and Dean run the grades and tell you who's really doing the work and who's just performing.
Dead Air: SLAM DUNK! | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell
The gloves are off, and so are the filters. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell are taking a trip through three Senate debate stages, starting in Maine, where Susan Collins has some explaining to do about a donor who funneled illegal campaign money through a shell company. Her defense? He's in jail. It's the O.J. Simpson school of “I didn't do it, but if I did…” Then it's down to Georgia, where Jon Ossoff is saying exactly what he thinks, including a brutal line about Mike Collins, John Lewis, and a billy club. Steve and Dean get into why they think Ossoff is the right guy for this moment. And in Michigan, Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed clash over health care, including the return of those so-called Canadian death panels. Maine, Georgia, Michigan. The Democrats stepped up to the plate, and nobody was looking to walk. Steve and Dean have plenty to unpack. Don't miss today's episode brought to you by the Save America Movement.

Dead Air: Major Weirdo | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell
Donald Trump went to Ohio and declared that Republicans were on the verge of defeating their political enemies “once and for all.” In this episode of "Dead Air," brought to you by the Save America Movement, Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell break down Trump’s escalating rhetoric, Pete Hegseth and the dangerous dysfunction at the Pentagon, and the enormous question looming over the midterms: If control of Congress changes hands, will Democrats actually use their constitutional power to impose accountability?
From Article I and the power of the purse to China, Iran and America’s national security, this is a conversation about what’s happening now — and what must come next.

Dead Air: Red, White & Billed | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell
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 the country depends on Donald Trump hearing a word he has rarely heard: no. They also discuss China, Iran, America’s position in the world, and the deeper cultural crisis unfolding at home. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.
