The Daily Beast Podcast

Katy Tur returns to the Daily Beast Podcast for a candid conversation with Joanna Coles about whether Donald Trump is becoming more isolated, more erratic, and increasingly disconnected from the voters who put him back in the White House. Drawing on over a decade of covering Trump up close, Tur explains why she believes Republicans are growing frustrated behind closed doors, what his behavior could mean for the midterms, and why his continued fixation on the 2020 election reveals more than just political strategy. They also dig into the staggering financial empire Trump has built while in office, the unprecedented questions surrounding crypto and presidential power, and the dramatic transformation of the White House itself, which Tur argues reflects a deeper shift in how Trump sees America.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack what Wolff argues is a fundamental misunderstanding of Donald Trump—not simply that he profits from power, but that he genuinely believes he deserves to, tracing what they call a mindset driven as much by grievance and revenge as greed. They examine the Trump family's latest business entanglements, the growing controversy over self-dealing, the fallout from the Supreme Court's latest decisions, and why Trump appears increasingly fixated on changing election rules as new polls point to political trouble ahead. The conversation also tackles the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump's handling of Iran and Ukraine, his relationship with Vladimir Putin, and the strategic blunders they believe could reshape both America's standing abroad and the coming midterm elections.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles as the Supreme Court delivers a series of stunning rulings that pierce Donald Trump’s carefully constructed “Golden Dome,” leaving him facing fresh legal humiliation in the E. Jean Carroll case while battles over presidential power, voting rights, and the future of the Federal Reserve intensify. From Natalie Harp’s role as Trump’s “human printer” to empty crowds at Trump’s much-hyped National Mall state fair, David and Joanna unpack a presidency increasingly insulated from reality as new reporting exposes White House rivalries, family business dealings, and growing fears of political accountability. They dive into the political fallout of mass deportations, the corruption questions surrounding Kazakhstan mining deals, and the Democratic Party’s fight over whether to prioritize affordability or accountability, all while asking what America’s founding ideals mean on the eve of the nation’s 250th birthday.

Jon Lovett joins Joanna Coles for a blistering conversation on Donald Trump’s political standing, his increasingly erratic public persona, and why Lovett believes the president is doing more to damage Republicans than Democrats ahead of the midterms. Drawing on his experience as an Obama White House speechwriter, Lovett reflects on the opening of the Obama Library, the future of the Democratic Party, the rise of its progressive wing, and the search for the next generation of leadership. He also delivers a blistering critique of Trump’s handling of America’s 250th anniversary, arguing the country has squandered what should have been a rare moment of national unity.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another extraordinary week inside Donald Trump's presidency, from a major Supreme Court victory that could dramatically expand presidential power to the increasingly blurred line between church and state, the political fallout from the fragile Iran ceasefire, and why Trump may once again escape the consequences of a foreign policy setback. They also dig into the mystery surrounding Natalie Harp, Trump's fiercely devoted "human printer," as new reporting catches up with revelations first explored by Wolff, examine why the New York Times is only now embracing the idea that Trump governs through obsession rather than strategy, debate Trump's latest fixation with the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and reveal the strange political calculations behind JD Vance's Nixon comparisons.
