On this week's episode of "Oh Schmidt! It's Friday" Steve Schmidt and Jim Acosta talk about Trump’s UFC arena at the White House — which Trump allegedly wants to make permanent — and what the cage says about a president obsessed with size, strength, and spectacle, while the country is at war and the free press is being dismantled. They also cover Bari Weiss, Scott Pelley's firing, and Schmidt's prediction that Tod...

If you’re worried that U.S. strikes in heavily-populated areas of Iran amount to a violation of the world’s shakiest cease-fire agreement, breathe easy.

Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh and Malcolm Nance break down the lunacy that is the Trump Administr...
