It doesn't take a crystal ball to see, Paxton's losin', we can tell. Ken's drinkin' Jack all by himself. Texas choosin' Talarico, we can tell. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell turn to San Antonio, where Donald Trump hits the campaign trail for Ken Paxton, takes shots at James Talarico, and gets interrupted by protesters. Naturally, he handles it with all his usual grace and restraint. Steve and Dean get into Paxton's leaked audio, the GOP's money troubles, and why they believe James Talarico's ability to reach across the aisle makes him a serious contender for the U.S. Senate. Then it's over to the Pentagon, where Pete Hegseth has a new idea for prime-time television: livestreaming a firing squad execution. Steve and Dean get into the prospect of turning an execution into must-see TV. From Texas Choosin' Talarico to Hegseth's latest contribution to the entertainment industry, there's plenty to unpack. Don't miss it. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.

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.

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.
