Michael Cohen & White House Reporter Brian Karem Debate Trump's Media Coverage Is the media covering Donald Trump fairly, or has political journalism fundamentally changed? In this compelling episode of When You Know, You Know... with Michael Cohen, Michael sits down with veteran White House reporter Brian Karem for an unfiltered debate about the state of the American media, Trump coverage, political bias, and the future of journalism. Drawing on decades of experience covering the White House and national politics, Brian Karem shares firsthand insight into reporting on multiple presidential administrations, the challenges facing today's news organizations, and whether the press is helping or hurting public trust. Michael Cohen offers his own perspective from inside Donald Trump's inner circle, leading to a candid discussion about media narratives, accountability, political polarization, and the role of reporters in a divided America. If you're interested in Donald Trump news, White House politics, media bias, journalism ethics, political commentary, press freedom, election coverage, and behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, this episode delivers an informed and thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.
To date, Trump 2.0 has been defined by everybody appearing to be on the same page and by a sense that the administration kept moving its priorities forward. You might not have liked what those priorities were, but the priorities did get done. The one big beautiful bill was described as an administration's worth of priorities getting done too soon, and it seems like that might have been prophetic. Trump 1.0 returns when internal fights spill into public view, aides leak against one another, major spectacles vanish with nothing much changing, and the president treats factional drama as fuel rather than a problem to solve.Go back to the beginning of 2025, when Trump 2.0 very much was aligned. The coalition was locked in. The administration had momentum. USAID dismantled in a split second. The one big beautiful bill pushed over the finish line in record time. Again, the point isn't that these were good things that happened. It's that they kept happening. But no momentum is made to last forever. Maybe the coalition was always doomed to splinter. The cracks began to show as people were fired, as Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi went down for various different ICE shootings and Epstein, accelerating distrust and leaving Dan Bongino back on the radio airwaves. Either way, the drama that Trump 2.0 kept outside the tent has now fully moved back within it.How do we know? Because they're telling us.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

We knew officials were fighting over how much information the president should share when he was speaking to America. Acting DNI Bill Pulte pushed for a more aggressive version, but senior White House aides intervened. Separate reports said the speech might have claimed that Georgia's two Democratic senators were elected illegitimately because they both came in during the 2020 runoff. The final address didn't go that far, meaning somebody pulled something back — or at least that's what the reports would lead us to believe, which means somebody inside the administration is telling a reporter. The 24-minute speech eventually focused more on election interference and intelligence findings as a way to get to the idea that the Save America Act should be passed. But even that's telling, because the speech was quickly swallowed by the news cycle. That's another hallmark of Trump 1.0: a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, or at least nothing that's remembered more than 48 hours later.The biggest Trump 1.0 tell is Iran. From the very beginning, the administration has said the Iran strategy has two hands. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth are the closed fist, the violence that will come down on the regime, while J.D. Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff are the open hand of diplomacy. If you want to make a deal on our terms, we're always welcome. In the meantime, we'll punch you in the face. Trump has actively encouraged a rivalry between Vance and Rubio, asking people all the time who they think should be the next president. And now the proxies of both men are in out-and-out war online.Alex Bruesewitz is on the J.D. Vance side, making it a priority to talk about how much foreign influence, including Israel, is affecting the discourse. Meanwhile, Israel hawks, including Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, are attacking Vance, saying he's surrendering to Qatar and he's mostly a socialist. The damage is falling most heavily on Vance because he's become the face of diplomacy. If the memorandum of understanding had worked, he would've gotten the credit. Since there's now a lot of violence happening in that region again, he gets the blame. Instead of all of this being part of one big rolling ball that is the Trump administration, we now have winners and losers, which means people inside that sphere are playing the game. Very Trump 1.0.The reason this happens in both instances is, well, Big Chungus. Trump 2.0's advantage was that the drama stayed outside the tent and the team inside was united. Now we're getting a clearer view of exactly what the war behind closed doors looks like, and in my opinion, it goes hand in hand with priorities not being enacted. You hear a lot about the Save America Act, but it's stalled and doesn't have the votes to become law. Iran is different because the consequences are immediate. Trump has to show that either pressure or diplomacy can produce a successful end state. If neither path works, he'll have made a very big bet without a clear conclusion, and he'll have to define a win for himself even if it's not very clear to the American people. We might already be in the lame-duck phase for Donald Trump, which may make all of these problems worse.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:44 - Trump 1.000:11:36 - Darlene Graham00:16:05 - Reconciliation, Again, Again00:19:38 - Andy Burnham00:25:03 - Interview with Michael Cohen01:13:55 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new immigrant enclaves map — which ignores Little Italy and other Italian-American areas of the five boroughs, as well as big Irish and Jewish neighborhoods while spotlighting 30 other areas, including Little Palestine, Koreatown, Little Pakistan and Little Odessa. In other news of the day, President Trump declares the ceasefire with Iran over - leading to strikes on Iran's IRGC installations targeting the Strait of Hormuz - leaving Iran threatening retaliation and causing fear in the oil market and gas prices amid renewed fighting, and Mayor Mamdani's international affairs commissioner boneheadedly made plans to meet with Iran's ambassador to the United Nations. The scheduled July 7 meeting – first reported by City Journal – between Commissioner Ana María Archila and Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran's permanent representative to the UN, ultimately never happened.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Editor in Chief and co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes and Senior Editors Anna Bower and Michael Feinberg to talk through the latest in national security news, including:“Humphrey's Executioner.” On June 29, the Supreme Court closed out its term with a trio of decisions on the president's power to fire officials at supposedly independent agencies. In Trump v. Slaughter, a 6–3 majority upheld Trump's firing of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and overruled the 90-year-old precedent Humphrey's Executor, handing the president at-will removal power over roughly two dozen multimember agencies. The same day, in Trump v. Cook, the Court refused 5–4 to let Trump remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, carving out a special exemption for the central bank. And a day later, in Blanche v. Perlmutter, the justices declined to let Trump oust Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter, whose office sits within the legislative branch. Taken together, what do these cases tell us about the unitary executive and the future of agency independence?“For Your Lies Only.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is in freefall. Since Bill Pulte—a housing-finance official with no intelligence background—took over as acting DNI on June 19, he has demanded a roster of every employee, fired the head of the office that oversees the President's Daily Brief, and all but liquidated the National Intelligence Council. The fight over his appointment has already cost the government its Section 702 surveillance authority, which lawmakers let lapse rather than leave in his hands, and Trump abruptly canceled the confirmation hearing for his own permanent nominee, Jay Clayton, to keep the “less shackled” Pulte in place. How did the nation's top intelligence coordinator get here—and how much damage can a politicized ODNI actually do?“Fixer Upper.” In one of the stranger turns of the Trump era, Michael Cohen—the former “fixer” whose testimony helped convict Trump of 34 felonies—says he and the president have reconciled. Cohen, who once vowed to flee the country if Trump won, said that the ice between them “didn't just melt, it broke,” and he is now taking a weekend slot on a conservative station with what he says was Trump's “glowing recommendation.” The thaw arrives as Trump's appeal of his New York conviction and related civil fraud judgment grind forward—and after Cohen publicly claimed he felt “pressured and coerced” to testify. What might Cohen's turn mean for that pending appeal?In object lessons, everyone is in a unifying mood. Ben demonstrates how RAGtime, his co-creation with AI overlord Claude to develop and analyze datasets, can find common cause between this week's co-hosts. Mike is enthusiastic about the new Criterion Collection bringing together all of Stanley Kubrick's works. Scott is reaching for perhaps humanity's greatest unifier—a certain beverage that can be enjoyed across political persuasions and coasts alike. And Anna is bringing us all to the world of personal essays with Jo Ann Beard's “The Fourth State of Matter.” To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Can you run with breast implants?As a runner, this was one of my biggest questions before breast augmentation. I worried about everything—would it affect my performance, would recovery be miserable, and yes... I literally thought my implants might end up in my armpits.In this episode, I sit down with my plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Cohen, to talk through the questions every active woman seems to Google before surgery. We cover implant placement, recovery, getting back to running, lifting weights, and how newer techniques are changing the experience for athletes.More importantly, we talk about making decisions that are right for you. There isn't one way an athlete is supposed to look, and you don't have to choose between feeling strong and feeling feminine.If you're a runner considering breast implants—or you just want an honest conversation about body image, confidence, and making informed decisions—I think you'll enjoy this one.Topics covered:• Running with breast implants• Recovery after breast augmentation• Over vs. under the muscle implants• Returning to exercise• Breast implants for athletes• Body confidence & making decisions for yourself

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the Graham Plattner Senate campaign finally hitting the wall it was always speeding toward, and neither of them pretends to be surprised. They walk through the accusation that dropped hours before recording, why the red flags were flying for months, and whether Janet Mills can salvage the Maine seat from Susan Collins without dragging the stink along. Then it's on to America's 250th birthday, a flyover-heavy festival of military hardware and stolen riches with a banking trail that runs straight to Trump's personal checking account. Trump also phoned FIFA to un-red-card his way to a better World Cup match, which somehow loops back to Christopher Steele, bribery, and the reliably rotten heart of the beautiful game. It all comes back to the sting of realizing you've been conned: the sudden fall of Freddy the German soccer fan, Michael Cohen angling to be the next Rush Limbaugh, and every "resistance" grifter who turned out to be in it for the money. Plus a check-in on Mitch McConnell's convalescence, and the mystery of why his wife suddenly needed to be in China.

Filling in for Sid Rosenberg, Jake Novak, John Catsimatidis, and Fernando Matteo introduce Michael Cohen as the station's newest personality. Cohen discusses his upcoming program, framing himself as a voice for the “tired majority” of Americans who feel alienated by the extreme political divisions of the far left and far right. The conversation highlights Cohen's professional history as special counsel and “fixer” for Donald Trump, detailing his perspective on the Russia collusion hoax and the personal toll of his legal battles and imprisonment.

John Catsimatidis, former Congressman Peter King, and Michael Cohen have a conversation regarding the current state of American political and economic life. The dialogue highlights King's blue-collar conservatism, where he bridges his support for Donald Trump with a respect for figures like Bill Clinton, emphasizing a philosophy of compassion and opportunity for the working class. A significant portion of the segment addresses national security and the border, with King criticizing the "woke" management of federal agencies and the lack of coordination during recent security failures.

In hour 1, Greg Kelly presents a politically charged monologue that intertwines current events with personal grievances and patriotic reflection. He navigates a wide array of topics, ranging from the controversial hiring of Michael Cohen at his radio station and a critique of Special Counsel Jack Smith's legal actions to lighthearted musings on celebrity culture and investment advice from Warren Buffett. Kelly emphasizes a staunchly pro-Trump worldview, arguing that institutional forces are attempting to corrupt the nation while urging his audience to remain loyal to traditional biblical values and constitutional principles.

In this episode of The Thinking Mind, Dr. Alex is joined by Michael Cohen and Jonathan Kirschner, hosts of That '70s Movie Podcast, to discuss Woody Allen's 1988 film Another Woman, starring Gena Rowlands, Ian Holm, Mia Farrow and Gene Hackman.Another Woman is a quiet but devastating psychological drama about Marion Post, a philosophy professor whose life begins to unravel when she overhears the therapy sessions of a younger pregnant woman. Dr Alex, Michael and Jonathan discuss why the film feels like such an “adult” movie, how it explores introspection, repression, memory, regret and the possibility of change. This is a conversation about cinema, psychology, middle age, missed possibilities, and the strange kind of hope that can come from finally seeing yourself clearly.Check out That '70s Movie Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-70s-movie-podcast/id1832034357Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower and Eric Columbus, and his Brookings colleague Molly Reynolds, to talk through a couple of the week's big news stories in domestic politics, including:“The Grift That Keeps On Giving.” Last week, the Justice Department announced the creation of a so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund of nearly 1.8 billion taxpayer dollars, from which purported victims of politically motivated prosecutions can apply to receive payments. The fund was created as part of a settlement with President Trump and his sons, who sued the IRS for 10 billion dollars over the leak of his tax returns. So far, pardoned Jan. 6 rioters, former Congressman George Santos, Trump's ex attorney Michael Cohen, and even former FBI Director James Comey have all said that they are considering applying, and three lawsuits have already been filed challenging the fund. How did Trump's lawsuit against the IRS lead to this fund? And how do we see these legal challenges playing out in court?“Lame Duck Around and Find Out.” President Trump's preferred primary picks have cruised to victories in Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Georgia Republican primaries, ousting incumbents Senator Bill Cassidy and Representative Thomas Massie as some of the few voices of dissent within the Republican Party. But Trump's involvement in the primaries has come at a political cost, with outgoing members voicing their criticism and even going so far as to buck the president on legislation. Last week, Cassidy flipped his vote in favor of a critical war powers resolution in the Senate, which could undermine the administration's legal justification for the war. With such close margins in Congress, how do we expect this new YOLO faction to impact the president's agenda before the midterms?While we introduced a third topic, we frankly ran out of time this week. Sorry about that! We'll circle back to it in the weeks ahead.In object lessons, Molly is hooked on the fish-focused local NPR podcast, “Catching The Codfather.” Eric is looking to catch a killer with the latest Hugh Jackman movie (which he thinks is shear perfection). Scott is caught up in the latest “Storm,” featuring Yung Lean. And Anna has caught basketball fever, both with the Knicks' return to the NBA Finals, and also with the (much-more-affordable-but-equally-entertaining) NY Liberty.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

After Donald Trump attended his physical, he proclaimed his health perfect. Then the White House rapid response team—which leads the charge for Trumpworld—unleashed an extraordinary series of angry attacks on journalists. Their transgression? Reporting accurately on Trump's decline. This comes as Trump's physical exam has prompted brutal coverage of his deterioration. We've seen scalding on-air assessments of his health from doctors, as well as media coverage that meticulously lists out the symptoms of his decline and notes his lack of transparency about exam results. Like good little authoritarians, Trump and his propagandists feel compelled to portray him as a physical superman whose virility is unquestioned—but this just reminds everyone of what they can see with their own eyes. We talked to Michael Cohen, who writes well about Trump's weakness for his Substack, Truth and Consequences. We discuss why the cult of Trump's virility is backfiring and what it says about the failings of Trumpworld's broader totalitarian playbook. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Michael Cohen to explore how neurofeedback can help retrain the brain's "electrical software" to improve anxiety, sleep, focus, and emotional balance. You'll learn why nutrition alone may not fully resolve brain fog or nervous system dysregulation, and how the brain can be trained to create healthier patterns. Michael breaks down how chronic stress, trauma, overstimulation, and poor nervous system regulation can keep the brain stuck in survival mode. You'll discover how different areas of the brain influence mood, attention, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity—and how targeted brain training may help restore balance. You'll also hear powerful stories of transformation involving ADHD, autism, concussion recovery, anxiety, and trauma healing. This conversation dives into the connection between sleep, brain health, emotional resilience, and the tools that may help people finally feel calm, focused, and mentally clear again.
