Michael Wolff and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty trace the cracks spreading across Donald Trump’s world, from Wolff’s prediction that Marco Rubio is headed for a brutal fall after becoming too competent and too visible inside the administration, to Trump’s escalating crisis with Iran and a high-stakes trip to China that Wolff argues could end with America “giving away the store.” The conversation moves from inflation fears and the politics of populist collapse to why Trump’s obsession with spectacle may be colliding with geopolitical reality, before turning into a gripping deep dive on Wolff’s explosive new Jeffrey Epstein reporting, where he draws chilling parallels between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump as two men obsessed with inventing myths about themselves. Along the way, they unpack Nigel Farage’s rise in the UK, Rupert Murdoch’s shadow influence, and why Wolff believes Trump remains dangerously incapable of listening, focusing, or handling the details of power even as the world’s biggest adversaries learn exactly how to play him.
