The Daily Beast

No one has reshaped politics, media, and culture quite like Donald Trump. But what really drives the most powerful—and polarizing—man alive? In Inside Trump’s Head, best-selling Trump biographer Michael Wolff and Daily Beast Chief Creative and Content Officer Joanna Coles team up to dissect the moves, motives, and madness of the man the world can’t stop watching. Twice a week, Wolff and Coles deliver unmatched access and sharp analysis to make sense of what fuels the President’s decisions.

When the most watched political figure of our time shows signs of decline, what does it mean for the people — and the country — around him?
I spoke with Dr. John Gartner — former Johns Hopkins professor and co-host of Shrinking Trump — on The Daily Beast Podcast about the clinical warning signs he sees, and what they reveal about the risks of power without guardrails.

I met Matt Friend a few years ago and knew instantly he was going places. His impressions — Trump, Obama, Bernie, McConnell — are so sharp they’re almost unsettling. Now he’s everywhere, and he joined me on The Daily Beast Podcast to talk about comedy, craft, and making audiences laugh across the political spectrum.

We took an Uber with Showrunner/Executive Producer Mimi Won Techentin and Cultique Founder/COO Sarah Jane Dhall to the Daily Beast’s Power 100—a luncheon for female leaders across industries. The culture definers chatted about how they honor strong women in their work and how to get motivated in the morning.

Trump wants loyalty. Elon wants control. And JD Vance just wants to survive. Michael Wolff joins me on The Daily Beast Podcast to unpack what’s really going on behind the Trump–Musk breakup — from loyalty tests in the White House to the tech world's quiet panic. Is this a political divorce? Or just the first act of something darker? Either way, it’s political theatre at its most combustible — and it’s not over. 🎧 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/ejskf2Ty #TheDailyBeastPodcast #Trump #ElonMusk #JDVance #Politics #MichaelWolff #Media #TheDailyBeast #Elon

I love Scott Galloway — total super fan. The NYU marketing professor, bestselling author, and co-host of Pivot doesn’t hold back...and on the latest The Daily Beast Podcast episode, he delivers. We get into Trump, Musk, and the Democrats’ identity crisis. Why higher ed — Harvard included — is acting more like a luxury brand than a public good. And whether Scott might ever run for office himself. 🎧 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/e9DTHD3s #TheDailyBeast #TheDailyBeastPodcast #ScottGalloway #Politics #Media #Harvard #Trump #Elon 

I love talking to Stephanie Ruhle. She speaks in fluent paragraphs and talks to people in the White House and on Wall Street for an informed opinion on what’s actually going on, and how business should navigate Tariffgate. Short, sharp, and funny. Definitely worth a listen. 📺 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/evzGZD3H The Daily Beast #TheDailyBeastPodcast #StephanieRuhle #Tariffgate #Trump #WallStreet #MSNBC
