The first few months of President Trump's second term have been chaotic, to say the least. There have been an unprecedented number of executive actions that have triggered an equally impressive number lawsuits; a new government “department,” headed by the world's richest man and launched via executive order, that ousted nearly a quarter of a million government workers; and a global trade war. Trump and his cabinet have been crowing about these achievements, but his approval ratings for the first 100 days are abysmal — tied for last place, with himself. Kara speaks to three Washington insiders about what this all means for the next 100 days, whether we'll see rollbacks or more full steam ahead, what role Congress will play, and what the potential long-term fallout could be. Our guests are: Carol Leonnig, an investigative reporter at The Washington Post. She's written three best-selling books, including two she co-authored about the first Trump presidency: A Very Stable Genius and I Alone Can Fix It. Ashley Parker, a staff writer at The Atlantic. Previously, Ashley spent eight years at The Washington Post, where she covered Trump's first presidency, President Biden's first two years in office, and the 2024 presidential campaign. Ben Terris, a Washington correspondent for New York Magazine. He is the author of The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind and a former feature reporter covering national politics for The Washington Post.

Scott interviews Philip Rucker, co-author of the New York Times bestselling book "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald Trump's Catastrophic Final Year” with his Washington Post colleague, Carol Leonnig. Their book opens at the very beginning of 2020 when the COVID pandemic arrives, carries through the January 6, 2021 insurrection, and ends with Joe Biden's inauguration 14 days later. The book includes material from 140 sources, including cabinet members, senior administration officials, advisors, and a bizarre interview with Trump himself. I Alone Can Fix It gives readers a thorough behind-the-scenes look at Trump's handling of the final year of his presidency. Philip talks to Scott about Trump's reaction to January 6th and how Mike Pence fulfilled the President's duties that day. Rucker set out to learn specifics about cabinet meetings with Trump. What was everybody saying around the table specifically? What were people writing in their diaries? What were people remembering? In this interview, Scott discusses the highlights of some of Rucker's work and asks probing questions about the reception of this crucial information to voters. “Vice President Pence was on the phone with the Pentagon to make sure the National Guard were on the way and to make sure troops were coming to the Capitol to help secure it and to assist the Capitol Police, who were obviously seized and beleaguered,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist explained. “Pence was the one who fulfilled those presidential duties that day, in large part because Trump was AWOL. He was too busy watching the television.” “He was fixated on November 3rd and making sure that he would be popular. And so at every turn during the coronavirus response.” Rucker told Scott about the one guiding principle for the former POTUS throughout the pandemic. “Trump was making decisions based on politics, not based on science or how to save lives, or how to level with the American people, but based on how to help himself politically. And that's not our opinion. That's the judgment of the people who worked with Trump in leading the response.” Philip Rucker is the senior Washington correspondent at The Washington Post and led its coverage of President Trump and his administration as White House Bureau chief. He and a team of Post reporters won the Pulitzer Prize and George Polk Award for their reporting on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. Rucker joined the Post in 2005 and previously has covered Congress, the Obama White House, and the 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns. He is an on-air political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and graduated from Yale University with a degree in history. This interview was originally recorded in July 2021.

It's Wednesday, but it wasn't when this episode first aired, a year ago. But back then, David Waldman remembered to invite Joan McCarter, and she remembered what they were going to talk about. Yay! Did you know that Donald Trump was a deluded low-intelligence big-mouthed sociopath during his administration? There is new evidence supporting this in two new books out, I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year and Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency. David reads and comments on an excerpt from I Alone Can Fix It. That's the one with Trump flirting with martial law to keep the presidency. The other one has Eric Trump picking a fight with math and Rudy Giuliani with the plan that Trump just claim he won... or was that in the first book? Which one reveals Trump wanting to execute whoever snitched about his hiding in his little bunker? Oh, that was a third book, Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost! This is only the start on these books. There's plenty more material out there. We are just getting to the “Stop the Steal” era! Although, we might not have the Kracken to kick around anymore, once the Eastern District of Michigan is through with their sanction hearing. The Trump Organization isn't sure of what you mean by “chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg”, there's no one there by that name. Catching COVID is now the hot thing in red states. Only RINOs don't get on respirators, or allow people the freedom to get on respirators, in those states.  U.S. investigators have arrived in Haiti to aid in the Moïse assassination case, as there is a noticeable Venn diagram overlap between Haiti suspects and DEA informants. Greg Abbott's posse turned away at the Texas border having failed at rounding up the Democrats who plan to stay away for a few weeks to block Abbott's voter suppression bill. Senate Democrats and White House officials are meeting today to talk spending and revenue targets, budget resolution and reconciliation instructions. Chuck Schumer might shorten the Senate's August break to address the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which means Republicans need to step up their delaying process. Joe Biden continues nominating a diverse slate of federal judges at a rapid pace, but that can't fix the Supreme Court who are slated to be much worse next session. SCOTUS isn't as bad as Donald Trump wanted them to be, and after all he did for them, too!

The legacy of Trump's years is a hotly debated topic. The debate is a legacy in and of itself. For many, he was the straight talking, bulldozing champion of true America. For others, he was an untrustworthy maverick with little regard for anyone but himself. Our guest in this episode makes no apologies for where she stands on the issue. But make no mistake, very few had the closness, and the insight into the goings on of the Trump Administration, as The Washington Post's Carol Leonnig. We will aim to disect the true nature of the self-described "very stable genius", and explore the legacy he leaves on what is undoubadly a very polorised United States of America. ABOUT CAROL LEONNIGCarol Leonnig is an Investigative Reporter for the Washington Post's White House Bureau. She is the New York Times best selling author of "I Alone Can Fix It", and "A Very Stable Genius", two of the leading accounts of Donald Trump's Presidency.

With Donald Trump's successful efforts to keep his misdeeds from becoming public, it falls to authors of books to write the first drafts of history. There have been a spate of books of late, and the one that has garnered the most attention and accolades is “I Alone Can Fix It,” by Carol Leonnig and Phil Rucker. Harry sits down with Leonning and Rucker for an in-depth exploration of some of the bigger, finer, and more surprising points of the book, and their take on where things now stand.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The barrage of books on Donald Trump continues. The Guardian newspaper counts as many as 4,500 tomes about the megalomaniac former US president, including nearly 20 that Trump claims to have written himself. In just the past few weeks, the huge opus of extended works on Trump has grown by three. Michael Wolf released Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.  Michael Bender, the senior White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal, published a crisp and compelling account of the 2020 campaign from the perspective of Trump World called Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost. And Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker have offered I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year, which completes their chronicle of the Trump Presidency that began with A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America, in which they examined the first three years of Trump's term. (The authors spoke with Tom about the updated edition of that book on the February 26, 2021 Midday show.) Tom is taking a pass on the new Michael Wolf book. But he spoke with Mike Bender a couple of weeks ago about his experience in Trump World. And today, he welcomes back to Midday Carol Leonnig, to talk about this latest book that she and Philip Rucker have contributed to this vast oeuvre.   Leonnig and Rucker's books on the mercurial and self-obsessed 45th President are invaluable for the depth of their reporting, their thoroughness, and their first-rate analysis of one of the most divisive and unique figures in American politics. I Alone Can Fix It takes us behind the scenes of Trump's astonishingly inept handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, his losing effort to win a second term, his bungling of the Republican party's attempt to retain control of Congress, his second impeachment, and his culpability in the insurrection at the Capital that left several people dead, scores of police officers and rioters injured, and a country torn apart by partisanship that has wandered into a whole new realm of untruth and malicious fabrication. Carol Leonnig joined Tom earlier this week, speaking on our digital line from Washington, D.C.. Because their conversation was pre-recorded, we're not able to take any calls or on-line comments.

It's time for Part 2 of our summer pop culture roundup: what we're watching, reading, listening to, and revisiting! Part 2 tackles the Olympics; the dreaded last year of Donald Trump in the new bestseller I Alone Can Fix It; why neither of us is going near the new films Black Widow and Jungle Cruise but are instead revisiting classics like Palm Beach Story, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Exorcist and Snowpiercer; and how Billie Eilish's new and riveting Happier Than Ever album/cd (Note: Do they even call them that anymore?) must be listened to with headphones.

Donald Trump remains a goldmine of morality plays and cautionary tales. Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker discovered this the very, very hard way, enduring an hours-long interview recounted in their new book I Alone Can Fix It. Is Trump delusional or lying? That line has been blurred, according to David and Vanity Fair, but it remains clear how dangerous Trump is.

The year 2020 brought with it a nation riddled with grief as the United States descended into a raging pandemic, steep economic downfall, and unsettling political instability. As half a million perished and millions were left jobless from coronavirus, what was really going on inside the White House? And who was influencing Donald Trump as he refused to concede power after an election he had clearly lost? Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker answer these questions for the American people in I Alone Can Fix It, a gripping exposé of an administration sabotaging its own country. Their sources were in the room as Trump and the key players around him—doctors, generals, senior advisors and family members—continued to prioritize the interests of the president over that of the country. These witnesses saw firsthand Trump's desire to deploy military force against protests in the wake of George Floyd's death. They saw his refusal to take coronavirus seriously, even to the point of allowing himself and those around him to be infected. They, along with the rest of the world, saw him spur on what would become the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. With unparalleled access, Rucker and Leonnig delve into exactly who they say enabled—and who foiled—the president as he desperately held onto his fleeting presidency in his final year in office.

Our show today focuses on a newly publsihed book that's widely seen as the definitive journalistic account of former President Trump's final year in office. The book is "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year," and it's written by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post reporters who earlier gave us "A Very Stable Genius." Rucker is our guest on StudioTulsa. As was noted of "I Alone Can Fix It" in The Guardian: "A blockbuster follow-up to 'A Very Stable Genius,' in which Leonnig and Rucker chronicled the chaos of Trump's first three years in office. 'I Alone Can Fix It' pulls back the curtain on the handling of Covid-19, the re-election bid, and its chaotic and violent aftermath.... [This] book is essential reading. [Rucker and Leonnig] have receipts, which they lay out for all to see."

When Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker asked to speak to former President Donald Trump about his last year in office, he agreed, surprising them all. He hosted them for a lavish dinner at Mar-A-Lago, his hotel and residence in Palm Beach, Fla., just 10 weeks after his term ended. During their two-and-a-half-hour conversation, Trump was fixed on “The Big Lie” that he won the 2020 election. He also said he believes he's America's greatest president, that “not even George Washington” could beat him. The braggadocio is not unexpected from Trump, and it marks Leonnig and Rucker's new book, “I Alone Can Fix It,” a follow-up to their Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “A Very Stable Genius.” Their latest release details the final 12 months of the Trump presidency.  It's packed with revelations about the former president's mishandling of the pandemic (he wouldn't do anything differently) to the racial justice protests after George Floyd's murder (he wishes he'd called out the military). But the stories grabbing the most headlines are those that describe Trump's obsession with self over country, with the health of his poll numbers above all. Wednesday morning, host Kerri Miller talked to Leonnig about the book, how she and Rucker managed to research it, and how she believes history will look back at the tumultuous year of 2020.  Guest: Carol Leonnig is a reporter for the Washington Post and the co-author of the newly released “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

Anthea Butler is the author of the new book White Evangelical Racism. She is also Chair of Religious Studies and Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her essays and other writing have also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, and The Guardian. Professor Butler explains why it is impossible to properly understand White (American) Christianity as something separate and apart from White supremacy. She also details the role of White Christianity (specifically White Evangelicalism) in the horrible events of Jan. 6 and Trumpism more generally. And Professor Butler warns that when White Christians and other elements of the White Right threaten to engage in terrorism and other forms of political violence they should be taken very seriously. Such violence in not “metaphorical”, it is very real. Chauncey DeVega reflects on the new “revelations” from the book “I Alone Can Fix It” about the Trump regime's evil deeds and then offers some advice – one simple and basic truth -- that will help the American people and others who are combating fascism and its associated malignant reality and sadopolitics.

Yay! Did you know that Donald Trump was a deluded low-intelligence big-mouthed sociopath during his administration? There is new evidence supporting this in two new books out, I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year and Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency. David reads and comments on an excerpt from I Alone Can Fix It. That's the one with Trump flirting with martial law to keep the presidency. The other one has Eric Trump picking a fight with math and Rudy Giuliani with the plan that Trump just claim he won... or was that in the first book? Which one reveals Trump wanting to execute whoever snitched about his hiding in his little bunker? Oh, that was a third book, Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost! This is only the start on these books. There's plenty more material out there. We are just getting to the “Stop the Steal” era! Although, we might not have the Kracken to kick around anymore, once the Eastern District of Michigan is through with their sanction hearing. The Trump Organization isn't sure of what you mean by “chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg”, there's no one there by that name. Catching COVID is now the hot thing in red states. Only RINOs don't get on respirators, or allow people the freedom to get on respirators, in those states.  U.S. investigators have arrived in Haiti to aid in the Moïse assassination case, as there is a noticeable Venn diagram overlap between Haiti suspects and DEA informants. Greg Abbott's posse turned away at the Texas border having failed at rounding up the Democrats who plan to stay away for a few weeks to block Abbott's voter suppression bill. Senate Democrats and White House officials are meeting today to talk spending and revenue targets, budget resolution and reconciliation instructions. Chuck Schumer might shorten the Senate's August break to address the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which means Republicans need to step up their delaying process. Joe Biden continues nominating a diverse slate of federal judges at a rapid pace, but that can't fix the Supreme Court who are slated to be much worse next session. SCOTUS isn't as bad as Donald Trump wanted them to be, and after all he did for them, too!
