There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.

    Dead Air: Mi Casa, Xi Casa | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell

    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 that is an actual sitting member of Congress. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell also turn to Renée Good’s mother speaking out about her daughter’s murder by an ICE agent, and what could happen when a new Congress takes over the House, including investigations and accountability for Trump administration officials like Kash Patel and Tom Homan. From Xi’s field trip to "Get Maced" to what accountability could look like in the next Congress, Steve and Dean are here for it all. Don’t miss it. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.

    Fighting Americans: The Reckoning with Congressman Robert Garcia

    What happens if Democrats take control of Congress? Rep. Robert Garcia tells Steve Schmidt they’re already preparing. The ranking Democrat on House Oversight lays out four major investigative fronts: Trump family financial dealings, the Epstein files, corporate corruption, and allegations involving DHS and ICE. But the conversation goes much further. Rep. Garcia says Congress may need hundreds of investigators to follow the money, examine DOGE and pursue wrongdoing across the government. He confirms that Democrats are actively discussing how to use some of Congress’s most powerful and rarely invoked contempt authorities against people who defy its subpoenas. This is a fascinating preview of what congressional oversight could look like under a Democratic majority — and a conversation about whether Congress is prepared to reclaim powers it has allowed to atrophy.

    Dead Air: Bayou Brawl | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell

    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 Justice Department to release its Jeffrey Epstein files. Then, they turn to the Senate race and Jamie Davis, and whether he could finally break what seems to be a curse hanging over Louisiana’s representation in Washington. It’s a full-on BAYOU BRAWL. Don’t miss it.
