Episode I Know Why the Tech Broligarchs Went Full MAGA Cover

Beschreibung

Jonathan Weber joins Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty to explain how San Francisco became the proving ground for the forces reshaping American politics, business, and culture. Drawing from his new book, City on the Edge, Weber traces the rise of the tech billionaires who transformed the city, why so many Silicon Valley power players embraced Donald Trump, and how figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi emerged from the same political and economic ecosystem. He also reveals what San Francisco's battles over AI, housing, wealth, and political power tell us about the future of the country—and why the city's next chapter could preview what's coming for every American.

Why Trump’s Stupidity and Grift Is Dooming Him

In this special episode of the Daily Beast Podcast, Joanna Coles shares some of her favorite recent conversations: from Jennifer Welch’s unfiltered breakdown of the personalities driving the Trump administration to Kurt Andersen’s fascinating look at how America’s culture helped create the perfect stage for Trump’s rise, and Stephanie Ruhle’s sharp analysis of the economic fallout from global conflict. Along the way, they unpack the loyalty tests inside Trump’s orbit, the uneasy relationship between power, wealth, and influence, the politics behind spectacle, and why the consequences of today's headlines reach far beyond Washington.

Episode This Is How Trump Will Destroy His Own Goons Cover

This Is How Trump Will Destroy His Own Goons

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles break down why the political winds may finally be shifting against Donald Trump, and what Michael believes is the single psychological factor that could determine whether his presidency survives the coming midterms. They examine the fallout from Trump's strikes on Iran, the political gamble of rising gas prices, the increasingly competitive Senate map in Texas and Maine, and why Republicans could suddenly find themselves defending territory they once took for granted. Along the way, they explore the Democratic Party's uncertain strategy, Elon Musk's lingering political influence, and whether Trump has any path back if Republicans suffer the kind of losses Wolff predicts, before closing with a revealing look inside how Trump is likely to react if the election becomes the biggest setback of his political career.

Melania Is Unleashing Revenge Dogs on Me: Wolff

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles pull back the curtain on the hidden power brokers shaping Donald Trump’s presidency, revealing why one little-known lawyer may now wield more influence over Trump’s legal strategy than anyone else. Wolff shares explosive new details from his personal legal battle with Melania Trump, explains how Trump’s courtroom tactics are designed to drain opponents through delay and intimidation, and argues that the president’s legal operation now revolves around a modern-day Roy Cohn. They also unpack Trump’s staggering $2.2 billion windfall, Melania’s multimillion-dollar earnings, the Supreme Court’s latest decisions, the growing fight inside the Democratic Party ahead of the midterms, and why Trump’s off-the-cuff foreign policy comments continue to reshape global headlines despite, as Wolff argues, having little grounding in reality.  Visit https://ffrf.us/TRUMP or text TRUMP to 511511 to learn more and join the Freedom From Religion Foundation. #ad  Learn more about your ad choices.

I Know What Trump's D.C. Makeover Is Really About

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.
