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 The advisers who once tried to constrain his impulses have largely been replaced by people who share his worldview and trust his instincts, paving the way for an administration marked by unprecedented corruption, sweeping assertions of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.

IRAN WAR OVER AGAIN AS RUN-UP TO IRAN WAR CONTINUES Trump hates Obama, so he decided to upend the Middle East, international control of the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices, soldiers' lives, and some innocent Iranians.

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.

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.

They also examine the backlash over Trump's botched Reflecting Pool renovation, the sharp contrast between the Obama Presidential Center opening and Trump's own political spectacle, growing signs that world leaders and even Republicans are beginning to push back, and why the cracks in Trump's carefully cultivated image may be getting harder to hide.

C dans l'air du 19 juin 2026 - Le livre qui fait trembler la Maison-BlancheDes négociations reportées avant même de s'ouvrir en Suisse et un vice-président américain qui annule sa venue à Genève. Alors que la situation est toujours explosive au Liban et que les critiques pleuvent en Europe comme outre-Atlantique sur le « deal » négocié par Donald Trump avec l'Iran, le président des États-Unis continue de présenter le protocole d'accord signé avec le régime iranien comme une victoire et revendique même un pouvoir « sans limites ».Interrogé par le média américain Axios sur ce que ce conflit dit de son pouvoir, il a ainsi répondu : « Il n'a pas de limites. » Une phrase qui rappelle son « I am the boss! » prononcé mercredi lors de son entrée, avec une heure de retard, dans une salle de réunion du G7 à Évian. Depuis, la séquence a été publiée sur le compte de la Maison-Blanche, alors que journaux, analystes et experts se déchaînent contre la stratégie américaine et le bilan de la guerre en Iran. « Capitulation », « erreur colossale », « crépuscule d'une grande puissance »… Même dans le camp Trump, l'accord est loin de faire l'unanimité. Face aux critiques, le président américain a reconnu avoir négocié cet accord pour éviter que la guerre ne dégénère en crise économique mondiale, alimentant une inflation déjà record aux États-Unis. La hausse des prix, tirée par la flambée des cours du pétrole, s'est littéralement emballée en mai : + 4,2 % sur un an, soit son plus haut niveau mensuel depuis mai 2023. Résultat : la cote de popularité du président des États-Unis auprès de la génération Y, l'un des blocs électoraux les plus importants du pays, a chuté à son niveau le plus bas jamais enregistré dans de récents sondages réalisés par YouGov et The Economist.L'affaire Epstein revient hanter la Maison-Blanche. Après les dernières révélations du New York Times décrivant une véritable panique dans la Situation Room autour des conséquences politiques du dossier, le livre Changement de régime : au cœur de la présidence impériale de Donald Trump, qui doit paraître prochainement, s'annonce explosif.D'après les premiers extraits du livre, le vice-président aurait plaidé pour la publication complète des documents Epstein, y compris ceux pouvant embarrasser Trump, et aurait suggéré une interview de Ghislaine Maxwell par Tucker Carlson afin qu'elle affirme publiquement que Trump n'était impliqué dans aucun acte répréhensible. Les auteurs, Maggie Haberman et Jonathan Swan, évoquent également des tensions entre les deux hommes, notamment sur le dossier iranien. En juin 2025, Trump aurait reproché à Vance de ne pas suffisamment suivre sa ligne, déclarant : « Tout le monde doit simplement répéter ce que je dis. »Ces derniers jours, le président des États-Unis avait résumé ainsi son état d'esprit concernant son vice-président et le protocole d'accord signé avec l'Iran : « Si ça marche, j'en réclamerai le mérite. Si ça ne marche pas, je dirai que c'est la faute de J. D. »Le vice-président, prétendant potentiel à sa succession, est depuis chargé d'une tâche délicate : défendre la signature du protocole, attaqué aussi bien à droite qu'à gauche aux États-Unis, tout en prenant le gouvernail des négociations à venir. Dans ce contexte, il a lancé un avertissement aux critiques de Trump en Israël : « Si j'étais au gouvernement israélien, peut-être que je n'attaquerais pas le seul allié puissant qui me reste sur la planète. » Nos experts :- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, auteur de Requiem pour le monde libre - Alain BAUER - Professeur émérite au Cnam, auteur de La vérité sur le système Epstein - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste indépendant, essayiste, spécialiste des enjeux internationaux- Ben BARNIER - Journaliste France Info TV – ancien correspondant aux Etats-Unis-

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Supreme Court issued orders today, opinions coming Thursday.   The Wall Street Journal reports that Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for DC, is investigating banks for "debanking" conservatives.    Judge James Boasberg benchslapped Pirro's effort to magic away his order quashing her abusive subpoena on the Federal Reserve.   DOOFUS OF THE DAY: A judge in Mississippi disqualified all the lawyers in a case after finding that both sides cited fake cases hallucinated by AI.   MAIN SHOW:   The battle over the Kennedy Center continues. At the eleventh hour, the Center's Board appealed the order to take Trump's name off the building, citing a new rule that would strip all funding from the institution if Trump's name came down. The trial judge denied the requested stay, and so did the Circuit Court. Meanwhile, the Washington National Opera is suing the Kennedy Center for expropriating its $17 million endowment.   In the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge Leonie Brinkema issued a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from implementing the Anti-Weaponization Fund whether under a new name or not.   New reporting from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in the New York Times reveals two revealing memos from White House advisor Will Scharf on suspending the writ of habeas corpus and the Insurrection Act.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked Texas AG Ken Paxton's investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, holding that it was plainly retaliatory for its support for his Democratic Senate rival James Talarico.   SCOTUS Orders List June 15 https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/061526zor_5if6.pdf   Jeanine Pirro's Prosecutors Probe Big Banks for Alleged 'Debanking' https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/jeanine-pirros-prosecutors-probe-big-banks-for-alleged-debanking-13568e9b   Powell/Fed Reserve Subpoenas https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72490330/in-re-grand-jury-subpoenas   ActBlue v.

Donald Trump celebrates his 80th birthday with a literal cage match on the Ellipse. Today, we dig into: The reality of the war in Iran The massive spending crisis at the Pentagon Startling new revelations regarding the White House Situation Room from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's upcoming book, "Regime Change." Support the show so we can keep fighting the good fight and defeat the algorithms!

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin whoop it up for one thing or the other on today's KITM. Winning! The Knicks win and New York couldn't be happier. Losing! Trump's name comes off the Kennedy center. Trump hides his shame under a tarp while the scheming and rigging continue without pause. Winning!? The US declares victory and high tails it before the many Taco Tuesdays to follow. Pete Hegseth occasionally let Iran win so that the victory would be twice as sweet. It's hard to count the number of losers at the UFC thing Sunday. From airline pilots to US service members. As everything, there was only intended to be one winner. Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the civil war, so why can't Stephen Miller do it to win an argument or two? Maggie Haberman has another house payment, so we get another news flash. Maybe she was just doing her job. I can't believe this is a news story! Extra-fat butter makes your baked potatoes out of this world!

Today on The Press Box, Bryan and David start with their thoughts on the Knicks' historic comeback over the Spurs to take a 3-1 lead, and Bryan gives his notes on ESPN's coverage of the game down the stretch. Then they talk about the New York Times excerpt from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's upcoming book about how the White House has been handling the Epstein files (16:23). They also talk about Twitter's favorite World Cup fan (33:14) and a new addition to the Best Used Bookstores in the World list (43:04). Finally, Semafor's Dave Weigel joins to talk about the Senate race in Texas, the change in campaign reporting, and much more (52:58).

Eleven weeks into the U.S.-Iran war, the news cycle is relentless, but the strategic position has barely moved. Darren looks to step back from the weekly churn to lay out the five durable lessons of this conflict — the things that were becoming visible in March, that have held through April, that are still true in May, and that may well remain true for some time yet. The episode begins with a factual update: the collapse of Project Freedom, the trading of fire that neither side will call a ceasefire violation, Iran's 10 May counter-proposal demanding sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, Trump's dismissal of it as "garbage," and the bombshell New York Times report that Iran has regained operational access to most of its missile capability — directly contradicting the administration's public narrative just as Trump leaves for his summit with Xi Jinping. The bulk of the episode then works through five structural lessons: Coercion doesn't work if your adversary wants it more The geography in geo-economics—how Iran has demonstrated a modern model of asymmetric power Both sides still prefer no deal to a deal, and Trump's overnight Truth Social post tells us more than he realises Policy competence actually matters a lot The decaying pillars of the international order, with the oil market as case study Darren closes with the model he keeps coming back to: what actually constrains Donald Trump. With JP Morgan predicting Hormuz will reopen in June on inventory grounds, the institutional architecture that has buffered the shock running out of room, and Republican Senate primaries clearing through May and June, the question is whether material reality and the political calendar finally converge to produce a binding constraint on a president who has resisted almost every other form.

The Iran war has produced an unlikely main character: the Pope. This week, our dear friend and former colleague Santiago Ramos returns to the pod. He joins Christine and Damir to unpack the escalating clash between the Trump administration and the Catholic Church over the war, Trump's various blasphemies, and JD Vance's remarkable journey from Catholic conversion to, well, rediscovering Protestantism. The conversation then turns to more interesting matters. What does the Catholic tradition actually say about just war, and does anyone in Washington care? Santi argues that the real story isn't just about applying just war principles — it's about the Vatican's deeper commitment to a post-WWII global order that it sees every American war chipping away at. He draws a sharp distinction between just war and holy war, arguing that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's invocations of divine mandate are what really set off the Pope. Christine is fascinated by the public's unexpected hunger for moral authority in a cynical age — and by the spectacle of a charismatic, English-speaking, social-media-fluentAmerican pope suddenly becoming the most compelling critic of the administration. And Damir, true to form, grants the Pope his due as a political operator while insisting that the real story is simpler: while this is a stupid war with no rationale, the savvy Pope saw an opportunity to play politics. The conversation ends with an unlikely convergence, as Christine gets Damir to all but confess his belief in original sin.Required Reading:* Christine Emba, “What a Catholic Church Unafraid of Donald Trump Means to the World” (NYT).* Ross Douthat, “Trump's Blasphemy is a Warning” (NYT).* Jacques Maritain on just war (Commonweal).* Pope John XXIII, Pacem in Terris (Vatican).* Phil Klay on just war principles and the Iran war (YouTube).* Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, “How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran” (NYT).

On the brave new world we have entered. Historian Arash Azizi is back on the pod, talking to Alex H and Lee Jones about the ongoing war. We try to draw out some firm consequences, beyond the immediate situtation. Why did Trump go to war? Is this Netanyahu's war? And will he continue it regardless of the US? Will the Islamic Republic become more conservative now?  What has the war revealed about asymmetric warfare? About US vulnerability? What is the state of the Hormuz weapon now?

Trump, Netanyahu, Iran war, Strait of Hormuz, JD Vance, gas prices, Situation Room - Hawk covers the bombshell New York Times report by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan detailing how Benjamin Netanyahu made a hard sell to Donald Trump in the White House Situation Room on February 11th, pitching a joint US-Israel military campaign against Iran. The pitch included regime change, destroying Iran's missile program, decapitating the Iranian regime by killing Ayatollah Khamenei, and a slideshow of potential secular replacement leaders - all assessed by U.S. intelligence as largely farcical. CIA Director John Ratcliffe called the regime change scenarios farcical. Marco Rubio translated that for Trump. General Dan Cain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, raised serious concerns about missile stockpiles, the Strait of Hormuz, and the difference between tactics and strategy - but deferred to Trump. Pete Hegseth was fully on board. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, two real estate developers with massive financial ties to Gulf states, were in the room influencing a decision to go to war. JD Vance - who was excluded from the February 11th pitch - was the only voice in the administration who forcefully warned Trump that this war would destroy his presidency, fracture his coalition, and betray the voters who believed in no new wars. He was right. Now the Strait of Hormuz has been closed for five weeks. U.S. military bases have been abandoned. Gas prices in the United States are up 40 percent - the largest single-month increase in recorded history. South Korea, Japan, Ireland, and the UK are facing fuel crises. Trump has now ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after JD Vance's 15-hour ceasefire negotiations in Pakistan failed.
