## Resource

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 Todd Blanche won’t be confirmed as attorney general.
