Summary
On this episode of "Dead Air," Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell break down this week's stories that the regime wants you to ignore. From the bizarre "balloonacy" surrounding Kristi Noem's husband to the sudden firing of Pam Bondi, the hypocrisy is reaching a breaking point. But beyond the political theater lies a darker reality: the systemic medical neglect of children at the ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas.
Special Guests:
Dr. Angela Rasmussen: Renowned virologist breaking down the health risks within detention.
Dr. Anita K. Patel: Pediatric critical care expert on the ground-level reality of medical retaliation and neglect.
