Podcasts about Maggie Haberman

The first year of President Trump's second term was a whirlwind of action: on immigration, on trade, on political retribution. But things seem to me to be slowing down quite a bit. Trump is incredibly unpopular, and he's now bogged down in a war with Iran that he doesn't seem capable of ending. He often appears more concerned with his many White House renovations than with whether the Republican Party can hold the House and the Senate in November. So what's going on in this administration? Where is this all going? It's hard to think of a journalist more qualified to answer those questions than Maggie Haberman. As a White House correspondent for The New York Times, she's published some of the hardest-hitting reporting about Trump's second act as president and the group of loyalists that now surrounds him. Haberman, alongside her New York Times colleague Jonathan Swan, just published an extraordinary chronicle of this extraordinary political moment, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” In this conversation, we discuss how decisions get made in this White House, what Trump has achieved so far and what's really motivating him as we head toward the midterms. This episode contains strong language.

La diamo per scontata questa nostra, imperfetta, democrazia. Dopo la Guerra Fredda ci siamo convinti che sia lo stato naturale delle cose, il sistema politico a cui tutti i popoli tendono e tenderebbero, se solo fossero liberi di votare. Ma non è così. Quando arriva un'ondata di calore – come quella che sta facendo sudare l'Italia in questi giorni – ci ripetono sempre le stesse raccomandazioni: bevete molta acqua, evitate di uscire nelle ore più calde, restate in ambienti climatizzati. Ma chi a casa non ha un ambiente climatizzato cosa fa? Il prossimo 13 ottobre arriverà anche nelle librerie italiane Regime Change, il nuovo libro di Maggie Haberman e Jonathan Swan, due autorevoli firme del New York Times che seguono da anni Donald Trump da dentro la Casa Bianca.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the expanding Iran war and what it means for Trump that news of U.S. missile shortages is leaking from the inside, the blend of conspiracy theory and Rand Paul's personal umbrage that drove the show trial of a Senate hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, and various developments that brought medication abortion and FDA restrictions back to the news this week.Here are this week's chatters: Emily: Julia Lurie for Mother Jones: Me, Myself, and IUDs John: Space Daily: Astronauts returning from six-month missions describe a persistent 'observer' sensation — the feeling of watching their own lives from a half-step outside the frame, weeks after they're back on the ground David: Jill Lawless for The Associated Press: Glen Hansard, Irish musician who won Oscar for ‘Once,' dies in motorcycle crash; Once (2007) Trailer HD | Glen Hansard | Markéta Irglová (YouTube); RTÉ News on YouTube: 'Fairytale of New York' played at Shane MacGowan's funeral; City Cast: Your City Could Be Better (podcast); Eli Sabin for New Haven Listener chatter from Craig Kujawa in Washington, D.C.: Barbershop Harmony Society: History Made: GQ Wins World Championship; Barbershop Harmony Society: GQ - Mothers & Daughters (Maddie Zahm cover) • 2026 BHS International Quartet Champions (YouTube) For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America with guest Grace Mausser, Co-Chair of the New York City DSA.

In the latest Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself.

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times join Donny to discuss their bestselling book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. They reveal how they landed remarkable access to sources still serving inside the administration, and walk through two of the book's most stunning scenes: the bizarre Oval Office moment when Trump had an aide read out a list ranking him among history's most powerful figures (alongside Napoleon, Hitler, and Genghis Khan), and the extraordinary Situation Room meeting where Netanyahu personally pitched Trump on an Iran regime-change operation — only for the CIA director to call the plan "farcical" the next day. They dig into how a gut-driven decision led to the U.S. bombing Iran, why Trump's inner circle now trusts his instincts over expert warnings, the administration's evolving stance on AI regulation, and rapid-fire one-line verdicts on JD Vance, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller.

What happens when one generation holds much of the country's housing wealth and has little reason to give it up? Chuck Marohn talks with Strong Towns board chair Andrew Burleson and historic property renovator Richard Rumrill about boomers buying bigger homes, even as younger families wait for those houses to come back onto the market. The generational frustration is easy to understand, but the expected handoff assumes older homeowners will be ready to leave. What happens when the people expected to move have nowhere they want to go, and everyone behind them is still waiting? ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES "Boomers Were Supposed to Downsize.

John welcomes New York York Times White House reporter Jonathan Swan to discuss his runaway No. 1 bestseller, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” co-authored with Maggie Haberman, and how the reporting in the book illuminates Trump's inability to bring a tidy end to the war in Iran, fixation on election-related conspiracy theories, and pronounced disinterest in the economic struggles of ordinary voters. Swan also reveals the strategy behind his Emmy-winning TV interview with Trump in 2020—and how a fringe Australian politician with a yen for kangaroo feces fueled his meteoric rise in journalism.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Why is President Trump so much less risk averse in his second term compared to his first? After reading Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's Regime Change, Michael examines what may explain the more brazen, high-risk style of Trump's second term. Is it the freedom of being term-limited, Supreme Court-recognized immunity for official acts, greater confidence in the presidency, a sense of political vindication—or the belief that consequences never stick? Michael breaks down all five poll choices, revisits recent voting results, and asks listeners to decide which factor matters most. Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“One of the things that's fascinating about him simply as a historical study is the recognition that shamelessness is a superpower, and he refuses to be shamed in almost any action that he takes. He also realised that he doesn't have to abide by the US system, which is primarily norms and not laws. He is testing them in a way they have never been tested before.” Paddy O'Connell speaks to Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for The New York Times and co-author of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Maggie gives her take on Trump's second administration, from the influence of Elon Musk to his increasingly fraught dealings with world leaders. She also explains her belief Trump's second presidency is fundamentally different from his first, and how he is testing the limits of presidential power.

John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself. Unlike his first term, when he felt under siege, Trump now operates from absolute confidence. He's surrounded by loyalists and flatterers, getting information through a curated ecosystem that includes Fox News, Truth Social, and aides like Natalie Harp ("the human printer") who fetch him what he asks for, regardless of its accuracy. His decision-making is reactive and gut-driven, shaped by what people want to tell him. Meanwhile, his family and inner circle are making unprecedented wealth from the presidency, and Trump himself, who equates money with intelligence, is richer than ever. With Supreme Court immunity, total command over his party, incomparable wealth, and an administration of unequivocal supporters, Trump appears completely in his element: free to exercise power exactly as he wishes, being praised constantly, and getting richer by the day.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show. Buckle up, where today we're diving into the greatest hits of Democratic projection, where the party that spent four years telling us Joe Biden was sprinting marathons and doing cartwheels now wants us to believe Donald Trump's health is a national emergency.You've got Maggie Haberman out here whispering that Trump's health is like a “black box” inside the administration. A black box? [X] SB – MSNOW Maggie HabermanMa'am, the man was more visible than a Vegas marquee for eight straight years—rallying, golfing, tweeting at 3 a.m., dodging bullets both literal and figurative. We saw more of Trump than we saw of our own families during COVID. But suddenly it's Schrödinger's President: alive and dead until the Democrats open the box and tell us what to think.Let's hop in the Wayback Machine, shall we? Remember when they warned us Trump would start World War III on day one? That he'd be a dictator? That Melania was secretly running the country? That he'd never leave the White House alive—wait, that last one they're still working on. Every prediction landed with the accuracy of a weatherman in a hurricane, yet here they are, dusting off the same script like it's a greatest-hits album nobody asked for.And speaking of greatest hits nobody asked for, we now learn there was yet another plot against Trump—and roughly 30% of this country, the usual suspects on the left, the DSA crowd, the blue-check revolutionaries, were low-key rooting for it to work. They weren't just hoping; they were practically taking pre-orders on the commemorative T-shirts. “Thoughts and prayers” my ass—they were doing cartwheels in the group chat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Journalist Jonathan Swan's book, ‘Regime Change,' co-written with fellow ‘New York Times' reporter Maggie Haberman, is a portrait of President Trump's second term – which Swan calls "unrecognizable" from term one. The reporting duo interviewed over 1,000 sources for the book, including the president himself. Their work adds rich detail to developments that were generally known, and explores stories that had somehow slipped under the radar. Swan spoke with Fresh Air contributor and former politics reporter Dave Davies. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

July 14, 2026, 5pm; Blanche, who was Deputy AG at the time, was key to the release of files that was riddled with redaction errors and delays. According reporting by New York Times reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman in their new book “Regime Change,” the man who now wants to be the country's top law enforcement official was at the center of each step of the administration's handling of the files.

In their new book, “Regime Change,” New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan take readers inside President Trump's return to the White House in 2025 and the chaotic year that followed. It's an incredibly revealing look at a president and an administration untethered from the historical constraints of the office and willing to take extraordinary risks in pursuit of absolute power.   Maggie and Jonathan reveal what they learned about Elon Musk's chaotic reign in the White House, why so many of the top tech CEOs were eager to get into the president's good graces, and what Trump seems obsessed with in 2026. They also discuss the future of Trump's political movement and the challenges Democrats will face from this administration should they regain power in Congress.  Questions? Comments?

July 11, 2026; 8am: Gas prices are poised to climb again as the conflict with Iran escalates. Moody's chief economist estimates the average household has already spent roughly $1,000 more because of the war. And Trump refused to sign a bi-partisan housing bill that became law anyway at midnight. It's one of the few measures that would actually help with the affordability crisis. But Trump refused to sign it in protest over Republican refusal to pass his voter restriction bill, the SAVE America Act. As those challenges mount, the President and his friends have devoted increasing attention to something else entirely: tributes to Donald Trump and his pet projects. New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and authors of “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” join The Weekend to break down the ongoing chaos at the White House and the President's fixation on his vanity projects instead of voter issues.

John welcomes back New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman to discuss her runaway No. 1 bestseller, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” co-authored with Jonathan Swan; why the story of second-term Trump is less about how he's changed than how he's the same as ever, only more so; the degree to which retribution and self-enrichment are animating impulses of Trump 2.0; and the challenges of getting to the truth about a president for whom deceit and delusion are default settings.

Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for the New York Times and co-author of "Regime Change," shares some of the inside perspective she has gleaned from her reporting, including Donald Trump's fixation on his own power and how the war he started with Iran has shown him the limits of that power. As a new Washington Post report finds Donald Trump's vanity projects consuming an ever-increasing amount of his attention even as crises at home and abroad would seem to require more of a president's attention, passengers at the Palm Beach Airport did not seem to have their appreciation for Trump improved at all by the airport now being named after him. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes talks with Jen Psaki about what it means for the upcoming midterm election and U.S. elections broadly that Donald Trump has fired the last members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Committee, an important resource for elections administration.  Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, talks with Jen Psaki about the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo seeking justice for his killing at the hands of ICE. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows joins to discuss her run for the Democratic nomination to run for Senate in the wake of the implosion of Graham Platner's campaign.

Trump leaves ice cream cartons, potato chip bags, and candy wrappers all over his personal space at the White House. His diet aside, his aides are working overtime to keep the state of his health a secret. And it turns out that his loss in 2020 made him more powerful: He didn't have to deal with post-Covid inflation and the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump also wouldn't have been prosecuted, which ultimately led to him getting his get-out-of-jail free card to break all the laws, courtesy of the Supreme Court. Maggie joins Tim to discuss some of the revelations in her new book, including the pardons Trump is promising and the relationship between POTUS and a young aide who writes him "raw" and "emotional" love notes. Oh, and Marco—who's having the time of his life—was the guy who set up the deal to send people to the gulag at CECOT.

Journalist Maggie Haberman has spent decades covering Donald Trump, from his days as a New York real estate developer to his return to the White House for a second term. Now, she and her fellow New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan have written Regime Change, an inside account of the first 14 months of Trump's second presidency based on more than 1,000 interviews and extensive behind-the-scenes reporting. In this wide-ranging conversation with Katie, Haberman argues that this presidency is fundamentally different from Trump's first. The advisers who once tried to constrain his impulses have largely been replaced by people who share his worldview and trust his instincts, paving the way for an administration marked by unprecedented corruption, sweeping assertions of executive power, and a fundamental redefinition of the presidency itself.

Donald Trump says the Reflecting Pool will need to be drained for repairs to the coating he said would "last for at least 50 years" — blaming vandals for the peeling and algae blooms that have turned his pet project into an instant mess, and ordering federal agents to start making arrests. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to the administration's scapegoating then turn to the rest of the news, including the latest from JD Vance's negotiations with Iran, Trump's luxurious renovation of the Qatari jet set to become the new Air Force One, and the beginning of Bill Pulte's term as acting Director of National Intelligence. Then, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan join Tommy to discuss their new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," which offers an unparalleled look inside Trump's second term.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Susan Del Percio (crisis communications expert) joins host Ron Steslow to examine what becomes of a populist movement once it captures the institutions it was built to attack. They begin with the Epstein files and a new book from New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about the White House's behind-the-scenes scramble to respond, including a Situation Room damage control meeting, and why the leaked recording of that meeting is more alarming still.  Next, they widen the lens to populism's paradox, what happens when a movement built to distrust institutions takes them over and whether these movements need a single figurehead to lead them.  Then they turn to Maine, where Democrats nominated Graham Platner, a self-described socialist with a Nazi tattoo and allegations from former romantic partners describing him as volatile and demeaning toward women, including one ex-girlfriend's accusation that he physically intimidated and restrained her. Finally, they weigh the economics underneath the populist rhetoric, from Platner's “Epstein class” framing to a leftist turn toward capping growth and redistributing wealth, and why the politics of stagnation is a hard sell.  In Politicology+, they dig into “jawboning”— the way governments lean on private platforms to suppress speech they can't legally suppress themselves—and a new bipartisan bill to stop it.
