Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Wolff

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles for part two, continuing their forensic account of Donald Trump's long, combustible friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Drawing on years of interviews and firsthand reporting, Wolff argues that Trump and Epstein were not casual acquaintances but intimate allies, bonded by money, sex, models, and a shared outsider resentment of New York's elite. The episode traces how that alliance curdled into rivalry and fear—through real estate betrayals, private planes, kompromat, and the moment Epstein believed Trump turned the authorities on him. Wolff details why Epstein obsessed over Trump even after their rupture, why other powerful men fell while Trump survived, and how Epstein's arrest and death intersected with Trump's presidency. If Epstein was the man who knew Trump best, what does it mean that this is the one story that still visibly unnerves him? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to trace the unsettling origins of Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, long before public scandal or denial. Wolff begins with their bond in the late-1980s New York, where Trump was chasing Manhattan legitimacy and Epstein was emerging as a fixer fluent in money, women, and leverage. From Trump introducing Epstein as “my associate—Jeffy,” a pattern forms of shared ambition, cruelty, and secrecy. Wolff links those early dynamics to Trump's financial near-collapse in the 1990s and Epstein's claim that he helped Trump survive bankruptcy while keeping his tax returns hidden. If Epstein helped shape Trump's instincts before power, what does that say about the secrets that still follow him now? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles dives into Trump's troubled relationship with the U.S. military, unpacking disastrous parades, loyalty tests, and pep rallies that left generals cringing. With insights from Michael Wolff, David Rothkopf, and top retired brass, we reveal how strategy was sidelined for spectacle—and what it means for the country. Retired generals and lawmakers weigh in on the risks Trump's style posed to U.S. readiness. We also get an inside look at Pete Hegseth and the chaos behind the scenes. Hosted on Acast.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to peel back what Christmas looks like inside Donald Trump's carefully staged world at Mar-a-Lago — a holiday less about family and warmth than performance, attention, and control. From the bored, rope-off table at the center of the patio to Trump's late-night torrent of Truth Social posts, Wolff maps how even Christmas becomes another arena for validation. They examine Melania's rare flash of animation beside her father, the eerie surge of hyper-religious messaging from Trump-world, and the rituals that feel rehearsed rather than heartfelt. As the conversation widens, they trace how sagging TV ratings, Hollywood power plays, and proximity to Trump himself still dictate the action around him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on how Melania Trump screwed over Donald on the Epstein files by threatening to sue Michael Wolff who responded by suing her and demanding discovery which has caused her to now run away and hide from the process server.  Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack the one thing that drives Donald Trump more than policy, ideology, or even power: television. From The Apprentice to Fox News, Trump has always understood that fame is a currency, and the White House is just the ultimate reality show set. Wolff details how Trump doesn't read briefings, rarely listens, and instead crafts his world based on ratings, Nielsen scores, and cable news cues. The former president treats lawyers like scripted TV characters, his cabinet as central casting, and the nation as an audience to captivate. From Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch to Sean Hannity and Bill Shine, Trump has manipulated media insiders to shape both his narrative and his presidency. This episode reveals why politics, for Trump, has never been about governance—it's about performance, spectacle, and keeping the cameras rolling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles revisits some of The Daily Beast's most disturbing and revealing conversations about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Michael Wolff explains why Epstein's shadow still looms over Trump, while Stacey Williams and Cleo Glyde recount encounters that expose the brazen culture of power and silence surrounding them. Tina Brown reflects on the scandal she helped uncover and why its consequences continue to fracture Trump's world. Together, these voices reveal how wealth and influence conceal dark truths—and why the reckoning is far from over. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack why the release of the Epstein files has backfired on Donald Trump, obscuring key facts while amplifying the one question that won't go away: what Trump knew, and when. Wolff explains how the chaotic document dump fits Trump's flood-the-zone instincts, while Coles probes how branding, spectacle, and confusion remain his core political defenses. They also examine the risks of sidelining institutions—from Ukraine diplomacy to ICE-as-content—and ask whether Trump's belief that chaos protects him is finally working against him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to tackle the question Washington won't confront: what happens when a president's cognitive decline is visible but systematically rationalized by those around him. Wolff describes how Trump's inner circle shields alarming behavior as “Trump being Trump,” even as voters recognize familiar warning signs from their own families. He also explains the significance of Susie Wiles' long-standing relationship with Marco Rubio, and why her influence still shows in his disciplined, professional posture as Trump spirals. As Trump's grandiosity accelerates—from galloping speeches to branding national institutions—Coles asks why no one is willing to take the keys away, and what that silence means for the country.

C dans l'air du 19 décembre 2025 - Affaire Epstein : des nouvelles photos avant le couperet ?Le jour J. Ce vendredi, le ministère de la Justice s'apprête à publier l'intégralité des documents non classifiés en sa possession sur Jeffrey Epstein, sa complice Ghislaine Maxwell, qui purge une peine de vingt ans de prison, et toutes les personnes impliquées dans les procédures judiciaires. Les documents attendus pourraient embarrasser nombre de personnalités, notamment du monde des affaires, de la politique ou du spectacle, qui gravitaient dans l'orbite du financier, y compris Donald Trump. De nombreux soupçons sont portés sur le président américain. Les photos et emails déjà publiés ne font plus de doute sur l'amitié entre Donald Trump et Jeffrey Epstein mais interrogent sur la nature de leurs liens. Le président américain était-il au courant du réseau sexuel du financier new-yorkais, mort en prison en 2019 ? Une nouvelle polémique alimente le scandale. Ghislaine Maxwell, ex-compagne et complice de Jeffrey Epstein, est accusée d'avoir bénéficié d'un traitement de faveur carcéral profitant de conditions moins strictes, après avoir été transférée à la prison fédérale de Bryan, au Texas. Un privilège qui interroge et entretient le doute sur le degré de complicité entre le prédateur sexuel et Donald Trump. Parmi les personnalités impliquées dans le réseau de traite d'êtres humains à des fins sexuelles, mis en place par Jeffrey Epstein, on retrouve Jean-Luc Brunel. L'ancien agent de mannequins français était considéré comme l'un des "principaux pourvoyeurs" de jeunes filles. Mis en examen pour "viol sur mineur", il a été retrouvé mort, pendu dans sa cellule en février 2022. Un autre homme, Daniel S, est soupçonné d'avoir joué le rôle de rabatteur de femmes en France pour Jeffrey Epstein. Il est présenté comme étant un ancien photographe de mode, et manager d'une chaîne de télé sur la mode basée en Russie. Malgré les soupçons sur son implication dans le réseau Epstein, il n'a pourtant jamais été inquiété par la justice. Son nom a beaucoup fait parler ces dernières semaines. Michael Wolff, auteur du best-seller "Le Feu et la Fureur", a le président américain dans sa ligne de mire, ainsi que sa femme Melania. Celui qui a recueilli, entre 2014 et 2019, les confidences de Jeffrey Epstein, s'est intéressé à la rencontre du couple présidentiel. Et le journaliste l'assure : la Première dame aurait été présentée à son mari par Jeffrey Epstein. Ce que réfute Melania Trump allant jusqu'à le menacer d'une action en justice. À quel point l'affaire Epstein peut-elle faire tomber Donald Trump ? Qui était Jean-Luc Brunel, l'un des "principaux pourvoyeurs" de jeunes filles pour Jeffrey Epstein ? Qui est Michael Wolff, ce journaliste voulant faire trembler le couple présidentiel américain ?Nos experts :- Laurence HAÏM - Journaliste spécialiste des États-Unis et autrice de Ghislaine Maxwell, une femme amoureuse- Virginie VILAR - Grand reporter Complément d'enquête et France Télévisions- Grégory PHILIPPS - Rédacteur en chef international LCI et ancien correspondant aux États-Unis- Alban MIKOCZY - Grand reporter France Télévisions

C dans l'air du 18 décembre 2025 - Affaire Epstein: Trump cherche la parade« Il y a onze mois j'ai hérité d'un désastre et je le répare ». C'est avec ces mots que Donald Trump a lancé ce mercredi une courte allocution en guise de bilan de fin d'année. Malgré le mécontentement des Américains, le président américain a maintenu son cap économique tout en accablant son prédécesseur démocrate Joe Biden. Il lui a reproché de lui avoir laissé une économie « au bord de la ruine ». Parmi les autres thèmes abordés : la résolution de huit guerres, selon lui-même, « un boom économique » à venir, ou encore un processus de « migration inversée » enclenché, mais un sujet manquait à l'appel : l'affaire Epstein. Pourtant le dossier est brulant. Les derniers documents liés au délinquant sexuel décédé en 2019 doivent être divulgués d'ici à vendredi par le ministère de la Justice. Après des mois de fausses promesses complotistes puis une volte-face l'amenant à dénoncer un « canular » politique, Donald Trump a été forcé par sa base MAGA à rendre publics les derniers secrets dans cette affaire. La semaine dernière, des élus démocrates au Congrès avaient déjà rendu publiques de nouvelles photos émanant des légataires du criminel sexuel Jeffrey Epstein, qui incluent notamment des images de Donald Trump. « Ces images troublantes soulèvent encore plus de questions sur Jeffrey Epstein et ses relations avec certains des hommes les plus puissants du monde », avaient relevé les élus démocrates de la commission de surveillance à la Chambre des représentants. Qu'en sera-t-il ce vendredi 19 décembre ? Michael Wolff, connu pour ses enquêtes et livres consacrés à Donald Trump, devrait suivre de près la divulgation des derniers dossiers de l'affaire Epstein. Les 23.000 documents publiés, en novembre dernier, révèlent une proximité troublante avec le criminel sexuel, qu'il qualifie pourtant de « monstre ». L'écrivain s'est également confronté à Melania Trump, dans cette affaire. Michael Wolff a porté plainte contre la femme de Donald Trump, qu'il accuse d'avoir tenté de le faire taire après ses révélations sur ses liens avec Jeffrey Epstein. Selon l'auteur du « Feu et la fureur », la Première dame aurait été présentée à son mari par le criminel sexuel. Donald Trump augmente la pression sur le Venezuela. Le président américain a annoncé, mardi 16 décembre, un « blocus total » contre les pétroliers sous sanctions se rendant ou partant du Venezuela, renforçant la pression économique sur Caracas en pleine crise entre les deux pays. La chute du président vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro apparaît aujourd'hui comme l'un des principaux objectifs de la Maison Blanche.Les dernières révélations sur l'affaire Epstein peuvent-elles avoir des conséquences pour Donald Trump ? Qui est Michael Wolff, le journaliste qui défie le président américain ? Que signifie le « blocus total et complet » imposé par Donald Trump dans la crise politique face au Venezuela ?

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to break down the Vanity Fair profile that may have pushed Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles into dangerous territory, and the newly surfaced Epstein diaries that reveal fixation more than revelation. But the episode turns darker with Trump's grotesque response to the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife—a moment that shocked even his own insiders. Wolff argues this wasn't calculation or cruelty, but something giving way. And it leaves an unavoidable question hanging in the air: how long can a presidency survive when self-destruction is no longer strategic, but instinctive? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to reveal stories behind newly released Epstein photos. Together they sift through the blacked-out faces, the Mar-a-Lago-style party shots, and a younger Steve Bannon seated in Epstein's ornate study—the man he once admitted was the only figure in 2016 who truly scared him. Wolff explains why these images are surfacing now, how both parties are weaponizing them, and why they revive long-buried questions about Trump's ties to Epstein. Coles ends on the unavoidable question: Are there more Epstein and Trump revelations still waiting to be discovered? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textSo the whole Bravo community is in a tizzy because Bronwyn Newport has separated from Todd Bradley, but wait until you hear what I discovered in court documents going back years that changes everything about what we've been watching on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I'm revealing the real timeline of their relationship and why I believe she needed him for casting in the first place, plus the shocking reason the separation was announced NOW of all times. We're also diving into Lisa Barlow's swollen ankles that had fans worried - she finally explains what's really going on with her health on Jeff Lewis' show, and I'm sharing major behind-the-scenes tea about why the entire RHOSLC cast actually feels about Lisa that will completely change how you watch the show. Then we get into the Greece trip S6 Ep 17 drama where Heather Gay tries to shut down the Cartier watch fight in the most Heather way possible, Whitney Rose nearly falls off a mountain, and Meredith Marks faces an ambush dinner that reveals what might be the REAL reason Whitney and Heather have formed this alliance against her - and it connects back to the Alibaba tea that was spilled about Whitney's business. You won't believe which housewife might have actually been behind leaking that information and how they manipulated the narrative. Plus I'm breaking down Mary Cosby calling out Meredith for her disengaged behavior and whether this is Meredith's new strategy to avoid being pinned down on camera. THEN we transition into Miss Universe chaos Part 2 with Princess Sammy where we learn that both Anne Jakrajutatip and Raul Rocha Cantú have FLED their countries, there are 13 arrest warrants issued, and I'm revealing the money laundering schemes involving everything from skincare to water bottles. Sammy answers YOUR QUESTIONS. Will Princess Sammy BUY IT?! Sammy exposes which Miss Universe winner had guns held to her head and received death threats throughout her reign, the Miss USA scandals involving Crystal Stewart and Layla Rose, and why Sammy believes Anne might end up as a fish taco. We also get into 50 Cent's "Diddy: The Reckoning" docuseries and my theory about how 50 Cent got that privileged attorney footage - could Daphne Joy be involved? Plus we discuss the Trump/Epstein connection theories, what Epstein really said about Trump in those Michael Wolff recordings, whether Bill Barr baited Epstein back to the US, and why the prosecution struggled with Cassie's testimony in the Diddy case. Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack Kristi Noem's “Ice Barbie” theatrics at Homeland Security to Pam Bondi's loyal remaking of the Justice Department. They explore how, for the people in Trump's political orbit, loyalty and spectacle outweigh competence. Wolff and Coles dive into Corey Lewandowski's influence, Alina Haber's rocky rise, Jared Kushner's allies, and the fractures forming among Trump's women acolytes. Behind the headlines, they reveal a presidency driven by personal power, loyalty tests, and showmanship—where the inner workings are as unpredictable as the public drama. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect a president increasingly disengaged, dozing through televised cabinet meetings while aides scramble to manage both optics and reality. They probe the murky Hegseth video controversy, Trump's self-awarded FIFA Peace Prize, and his meddling in Hollywood mergers, showing how delay, spectacle, and loyalty dominate decision-making. Wolff charts the frustration, chaos, and quiet panic inside Trumpworld. The two ask: What happens when no one can keep up with—or contain—Trump's mercurial whims? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect a president who never asks the hard questions, leaving aides scrambling to explain what he refuses to understand. They dig into the Venezuela-bombed boats debacle and Pete Hegseth's role, tracing how the story spiraled into Hegseth's emerging SignalGate scandal. Wolff charts the frustration, chaos, and quiet panic inside Trumpworld, while Joanna presses on the larger pattern: a leader whose curiosity stops at the surface, imperiling both policy and loyalty. The two ask: What happens when those closest to Trump can't keep up with—or contain—his blind spots? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to discuss a president oscillating between boredom and sudden, theatrical fury; a man who now demands ever-greater flattery from aides who are running out of new ways to praise him. Joanna presses into the Hegseth Venezuela debacle that Trump is suddenly trying to disown, the strange Kushner–Witkoff Moscow overture supposed to “solve” Ukraine, and the inner-circle panic over Trump's fixation with who is—and isn't—sufficiently servile. Along the way, they track the “moronocracy” shaping U.S. policy and ask: if flattery no longer works, what happens next? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack the widening sense inside Trumpworld that the operation is slipping into pure incompetence. From Pete Hegseth's troubling battlefield lore to Keystone Kash Patel's chaos, Wolff charts a mood shift that even Murdoch-world can't quite hide. Wolff outlines how Jeffrey Epstein once warned that Trump would misuse his pardon power, as evinced by Trump's pardon of Honduran ex-president and cocaine trafficker Juan Orlando Hernández. Joanna presses the central question of the hour: Is this the moment when Trump's own allies decide the circus has finally become a liability? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to probe Donald Trump's newest — and perhaps most perilous — level of weakness. From a fraying inner circle to the small, telling humiliations Trump tries to hide, Wolff traces how the former president's aura of dominance is thinning just as legal threats, foreign crises, and a faltering presidency converge. Wolff walks through how Trump's allies are suddenly keeping their distance and how MAGA power brokers are beginning to hedge. It all leads to the question that hangs over this episode: has Trump finally reached the point where weakness, not strength, defines his movement? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Zach Show, we break down the most explosive new Jeffrey Epstein revelations following the release of 20,000+ estate documents and Trump's order to disclose government files. We cover claims that Trump “knew about the girls,” secret emails showing journalist Michael Wolff advising Epstein on Trump strategy, and FBI footage that undermines the official jailhouse timeline. We revisit the alleged 2017 Thanksgiving with Trump, the Prince Andrew photo, and speculation around Melania's early connection to Epstein's modeling pipeline. We also examine Epstein's global network — Israel ties, cyberweapons financing, intelligence links — and ask the real question: how did he become untouchable? This is only the first half of the episode with Todd Purdum.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to take a deep dive into Donald Trump's relationship with food. From his legendary buffets at Mar-a-Lago and his fast-food devotion to McDonald's, Jimmy John's, and oversized desserts, Wolff maps out the culinary habits that reflect Trump's personality and comfort zones. They discuss the White House dining struggles, state dinners he barely touches, and the unusual quirks—from eating in his bedroom to a Diet Coke button at his desk. Along the way, Wolff unpacks how Trump's palate, fears, and routines give a window into his larger-than-life persona. Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago has never been more telling. Hosted on Acast.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm revisiting a powerful conversation with author Michael Wolff, the only journalist who spent more than 100 hours interviewing Jeffrey Epstein before his death. With the newly passed transparency bill and fresh batches of Epstein emails released, including correspondence involving Wolff himself, this interview hits differently. We dig into the dark, transactional relationship between Donald Trump and Epstein, what Wolff learned firsthand, and why Trump has fought so aggressively to keep these files buried.

We look at Megyn Kelly's sickening and ludicrous (and instantly infamous) apologia for Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of the dump of Epstein emails, and follow the thread from her, via Richard Hanania's deranged tweets about how it's normal for adult men to fancy minors, and Alan Dershowitz's seemingly eternal dedication to having Jeffrey Epstein's back, all the way back to a 2017 meeting between Epstein and Steve Bannon (et al), as related by Michael Wolff in a book, published in 2021, that contains many things now being treated as revelations by the media... Oh what a tangled web we weave... Gigantic and terrible content warnings.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as he pulls back the curtain on one of the strangest constants inside Trump World: the curated, interchangeable circle of young women who drift through Trump's orbit, all uncannily similar in look, style, and purpose. Wolff walks Joanna through how this pattern shapes Trump's self-image, reinforces his craving for adoration, and becomes a kind of visual armor whenever scandal—like the Epstein files—comes roaring back. From the way these women are selected to the way they're deployed, Wolff maps out the psychology behind the tableau Trump insists on staging around himself. As the conversation widens, Joanna pushes Wolff on what this says about Trump's aging, his fears, and the hollow myth he keeps trying to resurrect. Hosted on Acast.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as the Epstein story floods the zone. Wolff walks Joanna through why the recurrence of Epstein's name so deeply rattles Trump and how old secrets keep re-emerging at the worst possible moments. They also dissect the chaotic legal maneuvers inside Trump's circle, including Lindsey Halligan's high-profile missteps and what her performance reveals about the administration's strategy and priorities. It all builds toward the unsettling question hanging over the week: if this story “finally, finally” breaks open, what does Trump look like on the other side? Hosted on Acast.

In this extremely enraged episode of Follow the Money, we ask the only question that actually matters in Trump's second crime spree through history: who is getting rich off of Trump chaos and the world's misery? Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman of Trump Tyranny Tracker and Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation together trace a financial pipeline of blood money that runs from the Kremlin, through Qatar, through crypto, straight into Trump World and its favorite oligarch bagmen.  While Ukrainian kids are protesting, begging the world not to look away as Russia bombs their playgrounds and kindergartens, Trump's MAGA lackeys, like Matt Gaetz protege Rep. Anna Luna, are in Florida huddling with Putin's money man and messenger, Kirill Dmitriev, sketching out yet another fake "peace plan" that is nothing but a genocide plan for Ukraine and a launchpad for a larger war with Europe. In a blatant crime of access journalism that would make Michael Wolff jealous, Axios published Kremlin/MAGA disinformation by calling it a "peace proposal." In reality, it's a Kremlin bribe: sell off Ukraine's land, launder the theft through "diplomacy," and cash out in crypto for Trump and his longtime real estate buddy-turned-Kremlin fixer Steve Witkoff, and their sons.  Their plan is for Ukraine to give up Donbas and Crimea, which suffers under Soviet-style repression, disarm Ukraine' military, and expect the world to recognize stolen land as Russian. In exchange, Trump, Witkoff, and their sons would allegedly get crypto via Qatar and a chance to turn genocide into an investment opportunity. All of this is happening while Russia openly kidnaps Ukrainian children, erases their identities, and feeds them into a military pipeline of Putin's forever war, while half of Europe anxiously prepares for war with Moscow.  Follow the money, and you see the gaslighting of Trump once again being bribed to call the Kremlin's foreign policy his own.  Be sure to follow us on our new YouTube channel to help us get the word out about Follow the Money! https://www.youtube.com/@FollowTheMoneyTrail Want to hear bonus shows and listen to Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dig into the unresolved contradictions around Jeffrey Epstein's death and the evidence that may have vanished with him. Wolff presses on the implausibility of both the official story and the idea of a flawless cover-up, forcing Joanna to confront how a Trump-remade DOJ and FBI might handle “inconvenient” files. Together they explore whether possibly destroyed Polaroids, buried reports, or silenced insiders could really stay hidden—and what it means if they have. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as the Epstein email deluge crashes straight into Donald Trump's White House, leaving the president uncharacteristically mute and visibly cornered. Wolff argues this is the moment he's warned about for years—the Trump–Epstein relationship finally breaking into full view. As newly released emails hint at suppressed testimony, secret negotiations, and a “dog that hasn't barked,” Joanna presses Wolff on why MAGA is demanding total transparency even as it risks politically detonating Trump himself. Wolff explains why Ghislaine Maxwell's family may now be threatening leaks to pressure the White House, and why Trump's go-to strategy—delay—may not work against a story that resurfaces again and again. What does Trump do when the one scandal he can't outtalk finally catches up with him? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the newly-revealed Jeffrey Epstein emails and the left trying to implicate Trump, the truth about what Epstein said about Trump on Michael Wolff audio recordings, new details about a 2019 PR strategy session with Jeffrey Epstein, Steve Bannon, Michael Wolff and former Obama admin lawyer Kathy Ruemmler, what was reported publicly and what Megyn heard personally on the audio recording she heard, and more. Then Maureen Callahan, host of "The Nerve," joins to discuss the way the new Epstein emails implicate Bill Clinton, former Obama officials, and many more public figures in power, Harry and Meghan's appearance at Kris Jenner's birthday party, pictures of their attendance deleted from the Kardashians' Instagrams, what's really happening between the Harry and Meghan after their “trauma bonding,” the very telling World Series video, Gayle King's ego and cluelessness as she may be losing her CBS gig, Michelle Obama's obsession with talking about race and smug narcissism, and more. Subscribe to Maureen's show The Nerve:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerve-with-maureen-callahan/id1808684702Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kR07GQGQAJaMNtLc9Cg2oYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thenerveshow?sub_confirmation=1 Landman on Paramount+: Don't miss the hit series everyone is talking about - Landman.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to shed light on his email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein and its impact on President Donald Trump. Drawing on leaked emails, private conversations, and years of reporting, Wolff exposes how the resurfacing of the Epstein files is reopening dangerous cracks inside Trump's circle. Coles pushes him on what's fact, what's myth, and what Epstein really knew. As Trump fights to control his comeback narrative, Wolff posits one haunting truth: Epstein's shadow may be the one story he can't spin away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the explosive release of newly uncovered Jeffrey Epstein emails, including messages referencing Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell that raise fresh questions about what the former president knew and when. They analyze the media and political fallout, how these revelations intersect with ongoing legal scrutiny, and what Epstein's 2019 emails to journalist Michael Wolff reveal about his ties to Mar-a-Lago. Kander and Gupta also unpack the end of the government shutdown and whether Democrats “caved.” Plus, they dive into Trump's eyebrow-raising interview with Laura Ingraham on inflation, and the escalating MAGA civil war—Ben Shapiro feuding with Megyn Kelly, right-wing influencers accusing each other of betrayal, and prominent conservatives warning of a full-blown ideological collapse.
