This Top Trump Aide Utterly Hates Him Now

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine the growing cracks inside Donald Trump’s inner circle as a major national security controversy threatens to expose just how divided his administration has become. Trump was reportedly warned about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s alleged ties to a Chinese spy, raising serious questions about what the president knew and why the information was seemingly brushed aside. Wolff reveals why the leak may have come from inside the White House itself, and how Susie Wiles’ increasingly hostile relationship with Trump could signal a much bigger revolt brewing behind closed doors. With Democrats preparing to take control of Congress, Trump faces the prospect of investigations, impeachment threats and a White House increasingly at war with itself. Plus, the telling absences at Wiles’ farewell party, the growing distance between Trump and Melania, and why some of the president’s closest allies may already be planning their escape. #Ad Try QUO for free and get 20% off your first 6 months at https://www.quo.com/BEAST Learn more about your ad choices.

Joanna Coles speaks with Representative Jason Crow about the growing firestorm engulfing Pete Hegseth, the war in Iran, and the Trump administration’s increasingly dangerous national security failures. Crow makes clear that Democrats are not backing down from their push to impeach Hegseth, despite a humiliating failure by his own colleagues to show up for a critical vote, and vows to use their incoming House majority to cut off funding for the war in Iran. He also takes aim at Donald Trump’s threats to have him executed for treason, the explosive allegations surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and suspected Chinese intelligence operations, and Elon Musk’s extraordinary power over Ukraine’s battlefield defenses. With Republicans privately admitting that Trump’s administration is out of control, Crow warns that corruption, incompetence and unchecked corporate influence are putting American lives and national security at risk. And as calls grow for Crow to make a run for the White House, he reveals where his priorities lie as Democrats prepare to take power in January. #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast  #ad Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BEAST at https://www.oneskin.co/BEAST  #oneskinpod  Learn more about your ad choices.

With Stephen Miller elevated to a powerful new role, Wolff explains Trump’s obsession with projecting strength, even as his grip on the White House begins to look increasingly shaky. They dig into Pete Hegseth’s precarious position, Susie Wiles’ quiet power struggle, and Trump’s fixation on turning politics into a fight. Plus, Trump’s search for an exit from the Iran war, MAGA’s defense of Russell Brand, and the explosive questions surrounding NVIDIA billionaire Jensen Huang and the tech world’s ties to the administration. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to break down the political earthquake that has left Donald Trump reeling—and Washington bracing for a brutal new chapter. After a crushing Democratic election victory, Trump is scrambling to contain the fallout, elevating the deeply unpopular Stephen Miller, turning on Susie Wiles, and leaving JD Vance politically exposed. Rothkopf explains why Trump's grip on power is slipping, why Republicans are beginning to turn against him, and how Democrats are preparing to unleash investigations into his administration. Plus, the explosive national security questions surrounding NVIDIA's CEO and an alleged Chinese intelligence connection, Trump's increasingly cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin, and the global consequences of a weakened White House. As Trump's allies begin looking for the exits, the next two years could be his most turbulent yet. #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine Donald Trump’s stunning midterm humiliation and why, instead of changing course, he’s doubling down on the very forces that helped bring him down. With Susie Wiles out and Stephen Miller elevated to chief of staff, Trump is signaling an even more extreme White House, and Wolff reveals the explosive behind-the-scenes drama that led to the shake-up. Plus, Tucker Carlson’s increasingly bitter break with Trump, JD Vance’s increasingly precarious political future, and whether Ron DeSantis is positioning himself for 2028. Then, Melania Trump’s bizarre new documentary trailer raises a fresh round of uncomfortable questions as Wolff fights back against her legal threats. And as Silicon Valley billionaires and powerful law firms scramble to distance themselves from Trump, the question is whether the political landscape has shifted more dramatically than anyone in his inner circle is prepared to admit. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD. #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast Learn more about your ad choices.

From Melania Trump’s eyebrow-raising Amazon documentary deal to Pete Hegseth’s shaky grip on the Pentagon and Marco Rubio’s rumored escape plan, the administration is suddenly looking far less invincible.

Plus, they look at the latest controversy surrounding a newly elected Republican’s attacks on women journalists.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles go inside a White House reeling from Tuesday’s election wipeout. Wolff shares what people close to Trump are telling him about a president who insists he didn’t lose, yet appears quieter and older after the results. As JD Vance distances himself from the Iran war, Wolff names the officials he hears could be pushed out, including Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller, and explains why Susie Wiles may survive by sacrificing others. With Trump facing a hostile new Congress, the conversation turns to how he might try to end the war on his own terms and the one person Wolff believes he may actually listen to. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD. #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast Learn more about your ad choices.

Terry Moran joins Joanna Coles from Texas, where Democrats have scored a stunning series of victories that could signal a seismic shift in American politics. After more than three decades without a Democrat holding statewide office, Texas has delivered a historic rebuke to Republicans, with James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa among the candidates riding a massive blue wave of voter frustration. Moran explains why Latino voters turned against Trump, how the president's own supporters are losing faith, and why the election represents something bigger than a rejection of one man: a repudiation of Trumpism itself. He and Coles look at the Democratic upsets in Maine, Iowa, and Kansas, the candidates emerging as potential 2028 contenders, and what the results mean for JD Vance's presidential ambitions. They also confront the growing Republican revolt against Trump, the fallout from the Michigan Democratic primary, and the question of whether Democrats can turn this extraordinary electoral momentum into a governing agenda. #ad If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan.
