David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to argue that Donald Trump's Iran war reveals a president who believes he governs like a king, not a constitutional commander in chief. Rothkopf, The Daily Beast's unmissable columnist and Founder of the DSR Network, lays out the case that this is an illegal war launched without congressional approval, with just 21 percent public support, no coherent National Security Council process, and early casualties already compounding the chaos. He connects Trump's impulsive strike to Benjamin Netanyahu's political incentives, the risk of regional escalation, oil shocks ahead of the midterms, and the dangerous fantasy that regime change will somehow yield democracy in Tehran.

They also discuss how key players actively covered up wrongdoing to protect themselves and their allies, showing a world where privilege shields crime and the full truth may never see the light of day.

The hard truth is anyone who was paying attention knew this was coming. That as soon as we allowed the man who instigated a coup back into the Oval Office dark days were ahead, so now we must do everything we can to not only prioritize getting these people out of power - and winning every single election - but to hold the people who allowed this accountable so we never find ourselves in this position again. The rules need to change. The institutions need to change. The power structure needs to change. And that starts today, with us, and finishes with a whole new group of voters who have no loyalty to how it was, but know it can be better than this. We know the mainstream media has let us down, so independent work like mine needs your support more than ever. The extremists have been able to shape the minds of too many people in this nation because the far right invested in their voice. Please give us a chance to fight back.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering, wide-ranging conversation about a presidency defined by vulgarity, fear, and damage—starting with Rothkopf's searing argument that Donald Trump is the ugliest expression of American power yet. From the White House's gilded excesses and the planned hollowing-out of the Kennedy Center, to the Melania “bribe-umentary,” its Epstein-adjacent fallout, and the mounting contradictions exposed in the Epstein files themselves, the episode tracks how taste, corruption, and impunity collide. Rothkopf, The Daily Beast's unmissable columnist and found of the DSR Network, dig into the murkier questions Trump can't outrun—from Howard Lutnick's shifting Epstein story to why so many powerful figures are suddenly caught in bald-faced lies—while also unpacking the strange Tulsi Gabbard whistleblower saga, Trump's renewed fixation on “stolen” elections, and the quiet groundwork being laid to destabilize 2026.

David Rothkopf, The Daily Beast's unmissable columnist, joins Joanna Coles to unpack Donald Trump's disastrous return to Davos and why it may mark a genuine rupture in the world order. What was once a gathering fueled by prestige and pretense becomes, this year, a summit driven by fear—of Trump's bullying, his ignorance, his threats on trade, NATO, Greenland, and allies who once trusted the United States. Rothkopf explains why European leaders walked out, why markets rattled, why the EU froze trade talks, and why figures like Mark Carney are now openly warning that this is not a transition but a break.
