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.2026 iHeartMedia, Inc. © Any use of this intellectual property for text and data mining or computational analysis including as training material for artificial intelligence systems is strictly prohibited without express written consent from iHeartMedia Hourly Political Science Politics & Government

  • Dead Air: The Worst May Be Yet To Come | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell
    Nov 3 2026

    With Election Day just hours away, Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell examine the chaos engulfing the final stretch of the midterm campaigns. From Haley Stevens' stunning political reversal and disastrous Anderson Cooper interview to Donald Trump's bizarre closing rallies and lavish Mar-a-Lago Halloween celebration, the conversation exposes the grievance, dysfunction, and excess defining MAGA politics. Steve predicts a major electoral rebuke for Trump — but warns that a weakened president could become even more dangerous. He explains how a new Congress must assert its constitutional authority, why divisions inside MAGA could accelerate, and what Americans must do to defend democracy after November 3. Plus, extraordinary early-voting scenes from Cleveland, the Save America Movement's Vote Safe initiative, and Steve's powerful Election Eve closing message. Tomorrow is a national character test. America or Trump.

  • Undead Air: MAGA Wipeout | Steve Schmidt & Dean Blundell
    Oct 31 2026

    Three days before the midterms, Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell host a Halloween edition of "Dead Air." Steve predicts a historic political repudiation of Donald Trump and MAGA. They examine Trump's increasingly erratic behavior, the corruption surrounding his administration, and why an electoral defeat must be followed by real accountability. Steve makes the case for confronting Pete Hegseth, restoring the rule of law, and holding those who abused their power responsible. Plus, Steve shares a deeply personal story: his absentee ballot in the 2024 presidential election was never counted, forcing him to re-register to vote. The message is clear: November 3 is just the beginning. The American people are sovereign — and their votes must count. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.
