  • Spineless GOP Are Finally Turning Against Trump

    Spineless GOP Are Finally Turning Against Trump
    Jun 7 2026
    Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dissect the growing backlash against Donald Trump's inner circle, from Stephen Miller's escalating deportation agenda to the stunning appointment of Bill Pulte to oversee America's intelligence apparatus. They explore why Republican senators are suddenly questioning the loyalty-first culture that has defined Trump's administration, examine the political fallout from Todd Blanche's rise at the Justice Department, and reveal why even some of Trump's allies are struggling to defend his latest moves. The conversation then shifts overseas as Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump face protests in Albania over their luxury island development, before turning to the Democratic Party's identity crisis through the controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and the rise of unconventional political figures. Along the way, Wolff and Coles debate war, authenticity in politics, Kamala Harris's failed campaign, and why the conflict in Ukraine may ultimately overshadow Trump's place in history.

    Why Trump’s Now Losing on a ‘Daily Basis’: Wolff
    Jun 5 2026
    Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into what Wolff argues is the beginning of a dramatic unraveling of Donald Trump’s political project, tracing how the fallout from the Iran conflict, slipping poll numbers, congressional resistance, and growing fractures inside the Republican Party are exposing deeper weaknesses in Trump’s leadership. Along the way, they unpack Trump’s relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the blame game unfolding inside the administration, the chaos surrounding CBS News and 60 Minutes under its new ownership, the strange politics of California’s governor’s race, and the enduring role of scandal, ego, and media power in shaping American politics.

    I Know Why Trump Is in His Shameless Cash Grab Era
    Jun 3 2026
    Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack into a week of chaos inside the Trump White House, from a failed attempt to push through what Wolff calls an unprecedented political “grift” to Trump’s growing frustration over a war he can’t seem to escape. They unpack reports of a furious showdown with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the surprising rise of loyalists with little traditional experience, the mounting political cost of RFK Jr.’s influence, and new questions surrounding Trump’s health as speculation swirls around his recent medical visits. Along the way, Wolff shares a remarkable campaign-trail story involving Jeffrey Epstein’s former plane, reveals why Trump may care more about controlling the Republican Party than winning elections, and examines the latest controversy surrounding Melania Trump’s past, offering a revealing look at the obsessions, grievances, and calculations driving the president’s decisions behind closed doors.

Great insight, love Joanna’s enthusiasm and Wolff’s measured response. It probably doesn’t say great things about me when I admit that this awful topic is so entertaining!

Wolff, a man that should have shouted louder
