Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Wolff

Welcome to the skeptic's guide to impeachment. Why is a third impeachment effort of Trump necessary? Because demanding impeachment puts every member of Congress on trial, revealing who we can trust and who is bought off.  Meet unanimous consent: the Senate's dirty little secret, and the power Democrats refuse to use. Imagine if all it took to stop the Senate in its tracks was one simple word: No. Unanimous consent is a very real procedural quirk that gives every single senator, regardless of party or seniority, enormous power. All they have to do is deny consent. Just say no, and legislative business slows to a crawl. Now here's the catch: Republicans use this tool constantly. Democrats? Almost never. And that's not because they can't; it's because they choose not to. How does unanimous consent work? In the Senate, many of the chamber's archaic rules can be bypassed if no one objects. This process is called unanimous consent. It's used for everything from skipping quorum calls to fast-tracking nominations. The idea is to keep things moving. But here's the shocking part: any senator, at any time, for any reason, can halt this entire process by simply saying, “I object.” Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville famously abused this mechanism to block military promotions for nearly a year. And he paid no price for it. Why? Because it's perfectly within Senate rules. And yet, while authoritarianism rises, civil liberties are under siege, and people are being literally kidnapped off American streets, not a single Democratic senator has used this tool to slow the machinery down. By mid-April, according to Keira Havens, an organizer of Citizens Impeachment, along with former Congressional staffer for Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, there were already around 500 recorded unanimous consent agreements in the 2025 Congressional Record. That's around 500 times every single senator, including vocal Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, gave the green light to fast-track Senate business. They could have slowed things down. They didn't. In fact, shortly after Cory Booker gave an impassioned speech in a historic filibuster marathon, the Senate used unanimous consent to speed-track a nominee: Jared Kushner's father, convicted felon Charles Kushner, to become the Ambassador to France. (Poor France!)  Unanimous consent isn't some obscure loophole. It's an incredibly accessible and completely legal form of leverage: a filibuster on easy mode. You don't need to prepare a speech. You don't need to command the floor. Senate Dems just say one word: No. So why aren't Democrats using it? The excuses vary: wait for the midterms, preserve decorum, respect procedure. But these excuses fail a democracy in crisis. There won't be a midterm rescue if authoritarianism cements itself into place now. Senators like Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy speak out against abuses of power, but actions speak louder than works, especially under the watchful eye of history. It's time to hold Trump and his lawless administration accountable.  What Can You Do? Start using the hashtag: #DemsJustSayNo Tweet at your senators: @SenWarren, @CoryBooker, @ChrisMurphyCT — Why do you keep consenting 500+ times? Educate others. “Unanimous consent” = silent agreement. Break the silence. Join or support organizing efforts like Citizens Impeachment that are pushing for real accountability. The Senate is designed to give each senator power. But power unused is power surrendered. Republicans understand that. Democrats need to learn fast actions speak louder than words.  They can say no. They should say no. And if they won't, we the people must demand accountability now.  The video of Part II of our discussion will publish on Patreon Monday morning along with the Zoom link for our next Gaslit Nation salon later that day at 4pm ET.

Trump biographer Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to discuss how the president's $45 million attempt at creating a "menacing" military parade backfired into a yawning, low-budget cosplay. The author of 'All or Nothing' reveals the real reason Trump was furious at the troops, what Pete Hegseth got wrong, and why the U.S. military has moved on while Trump is still stuck in 1965. Coles and Wolff explore how Israel's strike on Iran played out while Trump sat bored on a D.C. bleacher—and why the war made him look weak, used, and irrelevant.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles unpacks global chaos colliding with American absurdity: a California senator thrown to the ground, Israel striking Iran, and the man in charge of U.S. diplomacy? Trump's golf buddy Steve Witkoff. Who else to make sense of this than Michael Wolff, the chronicler of Trump's chaos. Wolff dives into Trump's racist tirade after the arrest of Senator Padilla, and how Gavin Newsom accidentally became the face of Democratic leadership—thanks to Trump himself. Plus, Wolff paints a jaw-dropping picture of Trump's “phone monologues,” Witkoff's terrifying Middle East power grab, and why American politics now runs on height, hair, and real estate credentials. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles returns to dissect the latest turn in the Trump–Elon Musk war—and who better to decode the thoughts in Donald Trump's head than Michael Wolff, Trump's biographer. Wolff explains how the feud puts JD Vance's future in question because Vance's "only hardcore support" is from within the tech community. Wolff reminds us that Trump's Epstein connection still hangs over Trump like a sword Damocles. And Wolff shares that within the White House, people are saying "Thank God for LA" and the mass protests against ICE agents, which have stolen the American people's attention. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles is back with an emergency podcast to reveal just what is going on with the Trump–Elon Musk blow-up—and who better to explain it than Michael Wolff, Trump's biographer and longtime chaos whisperer. Wolff explains why Musk is “Elon Bannon," revealing how he's stolen Bannon's role as Trump's dark twin. And he unpacks why both men are deploying Trump's ultimate fear: Jeffrey Epstein. From Epstein's Manhattan mansion, where Bannon coached the disgraced financier on media comebacks, to Elon's furious tweets, Wolff traces a toxic triangle of power, revenge and secrets. And he explains why Musk may be the first man rich and ruthless enough to truly go to war with Trump—and win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles sits down with Michael Wolff, the best-selling biographer of Donald Trump who has become his definitive chronicler. Wolff reveals Trump's the real reason for the president's pick-me-energy hair. He tells how Trump has been making an extraordinary racially charged observation to West Wing visitors about modern college students—and Wolff reacts to Trump going after him for saying that the war on Harvard was a revenge attack because 18-year-old Donald didn't get in. Wolff reveals what's really being said inside the president's inner circle about the Lucifer-like fall of Elon Musk and explains what it really means about the prospects for anyone who put themselves in Trump's orbit. And he resurfaces Stormy Daniels' very telling anecdote about who blew up Trump's phone when the two were engaged in their tryst—which of course, Trump still denies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joanna Coles welcomes back Michael Wolff, the bestselling author of “Fire & Fury” and “Siege,” to dissect the latest act of the Trump show—this time targeting elite American universities. Wolff unpacks the curious logic behind Trump's crusade against institutions like Harvard, suggesting it's less about policy and more about showmanship, headlines, and perhaps even old grudges. He weighs in on the persistent mystery surrounding Melania Trump's absence and the transactional nature of the Trump marriage, and explains why every public outing together appears to be the the result of a strict negotiation. Wolff also shares how Trump has transformed the Oval Office into a bizarre open-call performance space—complete with gold décor, packed audiences, and surprise video screenings for world leaders. Also, Wolff dives into why accusations of racism are viewed as a sort of badge of honor in the Trump world. Follow @MichaelWolffNYC for more of his inside takes. Hosted on Acast.

There's never a dull moment in the White House when Donald Trump is the president. Elon Musk yesterday began "offloading" from his role overseeing the 'DOGE' programme, after coming to the end of his 130 day limit as a special government employee. But rumours abound of a falling out between Musk and Trump, with the South African-born businessman criticising the president's "One Big Beautiful Bill" in an interview yesterday, claiming that the programme of massive tax cuts would actually raise the federal deficit, undermining his work cutting government spending.In this episode of The Daily T, Kamal Ahmed speaks to Michael Wolff - Trump biographer and author of four behind-the-scenes books about the president - to find out what really happened between Trump and Musk. They also talk about how the president will react to the shock news that his global tariffs have been blocked by a US federal court. We want to hear from you!

Joanna Coles sits down with author Michael Wolff, the man whose bestsellers including "Fire & Fury" and "All or Nothing" are the definitive guide to Donald Trump's presidencies. Wolff lifts the lid on what's really going on in Trump's marriage to Melania and what the report that she's only been at the White House 14 times should have said. He reveals why Trump is crazy about his $400 million free plane from the Qataris. And he predicts exactly what is going to happen to Trump for the next three years. Hosted on Acast.

In der dritten Folge des Presseclubs sprachen Ali und Björn mit Philipp Frohn, Redakteur Finanzen und Immobilien bei der WirtschaftsWoche. Philipp hat als Mitverfasser der Schülerzeitung Einblicke an einer Realschule im Duisburger Norden zwar schon früh journalistische Neigungen erkennen lassen, hat aber erst nach einem Lehramtsstudium den Karrierepfad des Journalismus der Sicherheit des Lehrerberufs den Vorzug gegeben. Er ist seit seinem Volontariat bei der Handelsblatt Media Group, wo er aktuell bei der WirtschaftsWoche nicht nur Nutzwert-Stories für Anleger schreibt, sondern auch mit dem Krypto-Podcast Bitcoin & Beyond für Aufklärung über diese volatile Asset-Klasse sorgt, die noch immer die Geister spaltet und die Philipp mit der gebotenen Portion Vorsicht als Podcast-Host Anlegern nahebringt. Unser Gast geht dabei weite Wege, um Geschichten spannend, lehrreich und unterhaltsam zu präsentieren. Wo wir bei seinem real existierenden Hund Freddy wären, der es inzwischen auch jenseits der Grenzen zu einem Hund zu Bekanntheit gebracht hat. Genug gespoilert: Hier geht es zu unserem Gespräch mit Philipp Frohn, das wir am 18. März aufgenommen haben. Literaturtipps von Philipp: "Der Markisenmann" von Jan Weiler. Jüngeren Leseratten empfiehlt Philipp: "Die Krumpflinge: Egon Krumpfling macht Ferien" von Annette Roeder. Björn liest gerade "Alles oder nichts: Donald Trumps Rückkehr an die Macht" von Michael Wolff, Ali erwartet gespannt das neue Buch von Barry Ritzholtz „How Not to Invest“, in dem es um gängige Anlegerfehler geht und wie man sie vermeidet.

De cultuuroorlog tegen 'woke' heeft een nieuw front geopend. President Donald Trump en zijn MAGA-achterban valt alles en iedereen aan die 'Diversity', 'Equity' en 'Inclusion' (DEI) wezenlijk vindt. Overheden, scholen, organisaties en bedrijven worden onder druk gezet een eind te maken aan dit beleid. Zelfs tot in Europa.Maar het gaat nog veel dieper, analyseren Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in deze aflevering van Betrouwbare Bronnen.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Trump benut deze aanval op die instituties om de Make America Great Again-interpretatie van wat Amerika is, wie zich Amerikaan mogen noemen en welke identiteit en beschaving hun stempel op het land mogen drukken te laten domineren. Het ware Amerika is MAGA-Amerika. Juist nu '250 jaar Verenigde Staten' feestelijk gevierd gaat worden, brouwt Trump van ideologie, politieke rancune en herschrijving van de geschiedenis een giftig mengsel.Politiek werd dit al merkbaar in de verkiezingscampagne waarin Trump zijn tegenkandidaat Kamala Harris denigrerend wegzette als een 'DEI hire', een kandidaat die zonder eigen verdiensten en kwaliteiten, die op grond van haar 'identiteit' mende een gooi te mogen doen naar het presidentschap. "Wie denkt zij wel dat ze is?" is een kreet die in heel dit anti-DEI-beleid doorklinkt over heel veel Amerikaanse medeburgers.De toepassing daarvan in een aanval op het zeer diverse historische beeld van de natie van immigranten uit heel de wereld is dan ook heftig. En dit hangt niet toevallig aan elkaar van 'symboolpolitiek'. Voorop gaat het ministerie van Defensie, het Pentagon van minister Pete Hegseth. Daar worden patriotisme en heroïek uit vele generaties bijna letterlijk witgewassen. Jaap en PG vertellen over het wegpoetsen van nationale iconen als de 'Navajo Code Talkers', 'Tuskegee Airmen' en Colin Powell.Minstens zozeer symboolpolitiek is Trumps droom van een beeldentuin voor nationale helden: 250 bronzen portretten. De reacties zijn furieus, het plan is allesbehalve doordacht. Essentieel voor de Trumpisten is natuurlijk dat de president – en alleen hij – bepaalt wie de eretitel van 'held' verdient. PG weet wel wie deze bronzen helden zou kunnen maken, trouwens.Het kapen van 'het ware Amerika' gebeurt nergens zo grof als in Washington DC zelf. Trump neemt twee nationale cultuurcentra in de houdgreep.Het Smithsonian Institution, het gebouw van het nationale symfonieorkest, de nationale opera, dans- en jazzgezelschappen, alsmede de koepel van liefst 21 musea voor kunst, cultuur en historie van Amerika. De musea worden onder druk gezet - net nu dat grote nationale jubileum van 2026 voorbereid wordt met tentoonstellingen en evenementen - hun koers en geschiedbeeld aan MAGA aan te passen. Zo niet dan dreigt hij dat ze tweederde van hun budget kwijtraken. Een signaal voor de musea en culturele centra in alle 50 staten. Een coup d'état der symboolpolitiek.In het Kennedy Center is die coup nog ongeremder. Trump heeft zichzelf tot voorzitter benoemd en de directie en het bestuur vervangen door gehoorzame geestverwanten. Grote kunstenaars als Renée Fleming hebben ontredderd hun verbintenis met het cultuurcentrum verbroken.De bijzondere geschiedenis van het Kennedy Center maakt zo'n machtsgreep des te navranter. De jonge president en zijn vrouw Jackie hebben alles in het werk gezet om Washington en Amerika zo'n culturele parel te schenken. Na de moord in Dallas was het president Lyndon Johnson die het Kennedys naam schonk en zorgde dat het kunstpaleis nu toch echt gebouwd werd.Waarom deze aanval op historie en beschaving? Jaap en PG zien vooral angstdromen; vrees voor 'omvolking' en veranderingen door verlies van wat vertrouwd was; de eigen trots en identiteit.Er klinkt een opvallende nostalgie in door die Amerika eerder beleefde bij de verering van 'The Lost Cause'. De nostalgie naar het verslagen Zuiden en zijn aristocratische levensstijl van slavenhouders en lijfeigenen. Trump en MAGA zijn eigenlijk helemaal geen Republicans, de partij van Abraham Lincoln, maar veeleer zuidelijke Democrats uit de jaren 1875-1925.***Verder luisteren476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika121 - 4th of July special: Zakenlui als president van Amerika319 - Lyndon B.

Michael welcomes New York Times Bestselling author Michael Wolff with his book "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America." In it, Wolff delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaign—undoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents. 'All or Nothing' takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. Original air date 31 March 2025.

In this episode Alan and Lionel talk to journalist and author Michael Wolff, who has chronicled the rise and fall and rise again of Donald Trump across his “Fire and Fury” book series. The latest instalment, “All or Nothing” was published just after Trump re-entered the White House in January.The trio discuss the future of media under Donald Trump, how he has taken control of news cycles and what happens when corporate interests infringe on the business of journalism. Wolff suggests that the media caved in to government pressure about his book. “A lot of television was set up, as happens in the pre-publication of a book, [and] as soon as the White House started to attack me all of my appearances were canceled”. “The executives who we confronted on this were pretty straightforward, they said, ‘look we are in a new climate' and then they would blame the higher ups, the corporate overlords and super structure who has weighed in on this.” Hosted on Acast.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 105: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has just lost World War Three. Trump listens to Musk maybe because he recognizes Musk is more insane than he is. Musk literally wants to own and rule the world. Musk just demanded this country withdraws from NATO. Other Muskers and Trumpers are following. If we leave NATO its remaining members will turn into a private hunting ground for Putin, or China, or both. Eventually he or they will run out of European countries to destroy and subsume and he or they will turn to destroying us. As Senator Chris Murphy said yesterday: "The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin." It's that simple. Trump is the Russian Commissar of America. And he's already lost World War Three - and evidently so have the British. Back home, Prime Minister Starmer did the unthinkable, met Zelensky not at the front door of Number 10 but he went INTO Downing Street to embrace him on the sidewalk. The front page of yesterday’s far right tabloid the Daily Mail headlined “outrage over U-S President’s humiliation of Zelensky” and insisted “Now stop the state visit for Bully Trump.” Demanded the British WITHDRAW their invitation for Trump to go there. But within hours their ambassador here undid all of that. Lord Peter Mandelson went on ABC This Week here and called for a “very radical re-set” that “has to consist of the United States and Ukraine getting back on the same page and President Zelensky giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that Trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to Ukraine.” Europe's nations “need to back the calls for a ceasefire and by the way I think that Ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the Russians to follow." Hey, Lord Mendacious? Forgotten already? Zelensky already signed a cease-fire with Putin. Signed in 2019. Putin broke it in 2022. 200,000 guys named Lord Gaseous and Sir Toby Belch and they sent the one who sounds most like Neville Chamberlain. The British are defending Zelensky but their Ambassador just surrendered to Hitler. I mean Trump. No, Hitler. It’s impossible to believe the Prime Minister hasn’t fired Mandelson already (“recalled” is the polite term; “vaporized” would be the accurate one). Regardless the schism is present and the schism is a repeat, a throwback, a re-enactment of 1938, where as Churchill said the British leaders had a choice between shame and war. They have chosen shame, they will get war later. The war THEY got later was World War Two. The war WE will get later will be World War THREE. We will have to go to war – the real thing, none of this Iraq bullshit – the real thing, millions dead – not just to free Europe and all the other places who thought we understood that the world is simply successfully managed tension between the forces of more-or-less-good and the forces of the Putins, Hitlers, Musks, Trumps, Chamberlains, and Mandelsons… not just to free them but to save whatever’s left of this nation after the headstart Trump and Musk are giving, right now, as we speak, to Putin and China. Thus I’ll repeat what I said in the bulletin after the pre-planned performative and nauseating ambush of Zelensky last Friday: Trump has not only imperiled the freedom of the United States of America AND the existence of Ukraine AND the independence of all the nations of Europe he has also lost all moral right to keep power in this country and he must lose that power. B-BLOCK (25:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: So. HOW does he non-violently lose power (and it must be non-violent, albeit probably unconventional)? I have the beginnings of ideas: a shadow cabinet, weekly press conferences to co-opt the Sunday and Monday news cycles, a huge multi-faceted protest at Trump's speech to Congress tomorrow. Aggressive behavior. Maybe the Democrats can do it, maybe not. Also: some thoughts on Trump pardoning and baseball seeking to reinstate Pete Rose, the alleged pedophile and child rapist. C-BLOCK (48:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Andy Ogles just proposed a law that will fire anybody who altered the FBI evidence on Jeffrey Epstein. So you want a law forcing the firing of Kash Patel and Trump? Cool! Trump stooge Ed Martin wants to prosecute something that never happened.

It's been a seismic weekend in global politics with nothing less than the future of European security at stake.Kamal and Camilla reflect on Donald Trump and JD Vance's shouting match with Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday, which has left US support for Ukraine in serious doubt.They also take in Sunday's summit of international leaders in London chaired by Keir Starmer, which saw the PM leading the European response and seeming to pull off a delicate balancing act as a conduit between the American and Ukrainian presidents. Whether Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron's plan for a “coalition of the willing” to lead the defence of a post-war Ukraine is feasible very much remains to be seen – especially without American air cover.And few know Trump better than his biographer Michael Wolff, who is in the Daily T studio to mark the publication of his latest book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America (dismissed as “totally FAKE” by Trump). Wolff gives Kamal and Camilla his take on the thinking of a man he describes as “both a moron and a genius”.Read:I attended Zelensky's private briefing – this is what he told me - by Francis DearnleyUkraine the Latest Special - Trump tears into ZelenskyAll or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America by Michael Wolff is available nowMichael Wolff's documentary on writing the book, 'Rewriting Trump', is on Sky Documentaries and NOW from March 4Producer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: James EnglandEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Wolff joins Anthony to discuss his latest book, All or Nothing, a deep dive into the chaos of Donald Trump's political life and inner circle. Michael unpacks Trump's relationships with key figures, the fallout from his legal battles, and the media's role in shaping his image. He also reveals insights into Melania Trump's true feelings, Rupert Murdoch's complicated ties to Trump, and the lingering mystery of Trump's connection with Vladimir Putin.

The New York Times gave author Michael Wolff's new book a glowing review, but President Donald Trump disagrees, calling it a “total FAKE JOB, just like the other JUNK he wrote.” As with Wolff's three earlier books about the president, All or None is filled with juicy tidbits with fly-on-the-wall accounts from the chaos inside Trump's orbit. In unsparing words, he talks to Janice Min about woeful Democrats, Elon Musk, Melania, media's current panic and the threatening phone call he received from Trumpworld.

In Donald Trumps inaugurele rede werd president William McKinley op een voetstuk gezet. De hoogste berg in Amerika - 6190 meter boven zeeniveau - kreeg diens naam terug. Trumps nieuwe regering spiegelt zich aan deze ‘great president'. Volgens Trump is een nieuwe gouden eeuw begonnen. Amerika wordt nu geregeerd met de steun van puissant rijke ondernemers. Daadkrachtig, protectionistisch, ongeremd expansief en imperialistisch. De wereld zal Amerika voortaan weer respecteren, verwacht Trump.McKinley had een nalatenschap die tot ver in de 20ste eeuw doorwerkte. Herrijst hij dankzij Donald Trump? Dat is de vraag die Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in deze aflevering beantwoorden.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***William McKinley (1843 - 1901) was een ambitieus, Republikeins politiek dier uit Ohio, toen een machtige swingstate. Hij bouwde faam op als ‘de tarievenkoning' in het Congres. Na vele controverses daarover veroverde hij in 1896 het Witte Huis in een electorale aardverschuiving die Trump nu nog jaloers maakt.De aanpak van zijn triomf, aantrekkingskracht, financiering door miljardairs en het zakelijk management van zijn strateeg en fondsenwerver Mark Hanna maakten dit de eerste moderne politieke campagne en een doorbraak naar de nieuwe tijd. Er is zelfs een uniek geluidsfragment van. McKinley beloofde de kiezers drie grote doelen te realiseren. Protectionisme voor de boeren, de industrie en de arbeiders tegen import van goedkope spullen uit nieuw opkomende industriële mogendheden. Tarieven tegen concurrenten, ook om ze tegen elkaar uit te spelen. Protectionisme van de dollar en die met een 'gouden standaard' op de valutamarkten wereldwijd onaantastbaar maken. Een wereldwijde blik die het nationaal belang van Amerika in de nieuwe eeuw voorop zou zetten. Elk van die drie strategische beloften maakte hij waar. Door op het juiste moment toe te slaan - opgehitst door felle, nationalistische massakranten - werden in twee jaar de restanten van het Spaanse wereldrijk opgerold.McKinley's hypermoderne vloot heerste ineens over de helft van de aardbol. Ingelijfd werden de Filipijnen, Guam, Hawaï, Puerto Rico. Cuba werd een vazal. Spanje afgekocht. China met geweld opengebroken voor Amerikaanse bedrijven, beleggers en banken. De Stille Oceaan was McKinley's binnenzee geworden. Het Panamakanaal werd daarom meteen als plan daadkrachtig doorgedrukt.Hoe kan hij dan toch zo vergeten zijn? Zijn dood en zijn opvolger waren de oorzaak. Vlak na zijn tweede verkiezingsoverwinning werd hij doodgeschoten. Zijn dynamische en politiek gedurfde opvolger - Theodore Roosevelt - overschaduwde hem in de acht jaar daarna helemaal. Maar Trump doet wat hij zelf wil. Hij wil Amerika terugbrengen naar een fictief, groots en ‘ongelooflijk rijk' verleden. Ten koste van desnoods elk ander land of volk. En McKinley's onvoltooide leven is het canvas waarop hij die fantasie nu schildert. Van Groenland tot Gaza.***Verder lezenAmerica has an imperial presidency.

Toen Amerika in 2017 herdacht dat zijn zevende president, Andrew Jackson, 250 jaar geleden geboren was, verscheen de grootste fan zélf aan zijn graf. Donald Trump noemde deze herdenking het ware begin van de viering van 250 jaar Verenigde Staten. Jackson was en is voor hem Amerika en de Amerikaan. Wie was dit rolmodel? Wat vertelt hij ons over Trump zelf, diens visie op Amerika en over zijn tweede termijn? ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Andrew Jackson leefde lang – van 1767 tot 1845 - een generatiegenoot van velen die hun stempel op onze beschaving zetten, zoals Napoleon, de Humboldt-broers en Goethe. Hij leefde van Koning George III tot Queen Victoria, van Prins Willem V tot Thorbecke. Fascinerende jaren van revolutie, doorbraken in wetenschap en technologie en culturele omwentelingen. Jackson was echt een kind van zijn tijd. Als tiener was-ie al een rebel. Als militair werd hij een nationale held die op één lijn gesteld werd met George Washington. Hij was een vastgoedondernemer en slavenhandelaar, een arme boerenjongen die een vermogend landheer werd. Jackson was vanaf dag één politiek een polarisator pur sang. Hij kon vreselijk haten en sprak en schreef daar ongeremd en fel over. Hij was een wildebras en ‘n drammer en daarmee ook vernieuwer van de politieke cultuur. Met hem geen nobele, verlichte aristocraten van de geest in het Witte Huis. Hij begon de eerste politieke partij als machtsmachine om verkiezingen te domineren. Alexis de Tocqueville bezocht hem als jeugdig Frans edelman en zei: "De lage toon van de Amerikaanse politieke cultuur begint helemaal aan de top daarvan." Andrew Jackson deed als president tussen 1829 en 1837 van alles waar nu de kranten ook mee vol staan. Slaande ruzie kreeg hij met zijn vicepresident, John Calhoun. Hij schoffeerde het Congres zozeer, dat ze overwogen hem te impeachen. Hij wilde Texas kopen van buurland Mexico - goedschiks of kwaadschiks. Hij wilde het federale financiële stelsel ontmantelen en heeft daarmee twee eeuwen later nog diepgaande invloed op zijn land. Tocqueville was gefascineerd door Jackson, door diens verachting voor anderen in de politiek, z'n tomeloze ambitie, hoe hij alles over had voor zijn herverkiezing en hoe de media en alle debatten op straat en in cafés alleen maar over hem gingen. "Het doel van alle politieke manoeuvres, het onderwerp van elke gedachtenwisseling." Donald Trump geniet er dan ook van de vele controverses en haat van Jackson te releveren en dan te zeggen: "Jeeez, where did you hear this before?" Jacksons erfenis is zeer omstreden. Zelfs Trump noemt hem ‘an imperfect man'. Als generaal en gouverneur was hij verantwoordelijk voor volkerenmoord onder de inheemse Amerikanen. Zijn beleid leidde ertoe dat na zijn twee termijnen de zuidelijke slavenstaten de nationale politiek domineerden die uitliep op de ongekend bloedige burgeroorlog.Onder Donald Trump is het populisme en de daarbij horende polarisatie weer helemaal terug. Andrew Jackson was in veel opzichten het origineel. De eerste populist in het Witte Huis. De eerste militaire geweldenaar die als nationaal figuur president werd. Het eerste onpolitieke icoon dat politiek triomfeerde. En hij was de eerste, moderne 'Democrat' als president, geen partijgenoot dus van Trump! Op aanraden van Steve Bannon liet Trump bij de start van zijn eerste termijn een groot schilderij van Jackson neerhangen in het Oval Office. Als rolmodel zonder meer een briljante vondst.***Verder lezenJohn Meacham - American Lion, Andrew Jackson in The White House***Verder kijkenAndrew Jackson - Good Evil & The Presidency - PBS Documentary***Verder luisteren473 - 2025 wordt opnieuw een historisch jaar oa over John Quincy Adams464 – De Amerikaanse verkiezingen van 2024 zijn geen aardverschuiving459 – Rolmodel George Washington405 - De Amerikaanse democratie in gevaar: het gevecht tussen Biden en Trump397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel360 - 4th of July: Mar-a-Lago, de plek waar het al 100 jaar gebeurt289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi206 - 'Aardverschuiving': Michael Wolff over Donald Trumps laatste dagen als president.

New audio from author and journalist Michael Wolff has revealed that Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were way closer friends - and friends for much longer - than previously known. Trump apparently consulted with Epstein while he was president, and Epstein even produced multiple photographs of Trump partying with topless women, including some with them sitting on his lap.During an interview with a conservative writer that aired last week, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. told the story of how he was attacked by a literal, physical demon while he was asleep in his bed with his wife and dogs. The internet immediately lit up with mockery for the disgraced TV host over his ridiculous claim. The mockery is great, but the real question is why Carlson even bothered to tell this bizarre tale to begin with.Donald Trump is going to have some help this time around when it comes to pushing his bogus claims of voter fraud and election interference. An analysis by The Washington Post has already found that the top conservative podcasters in the country have already been claiming that voter fraud is going to happen on Tuesday, they just don't have any evidence to back any of these claims up. These dangerous talking points are going to get someone hurt, or worse, just like we saw at the Capitol Riot in 2021. A former prosecutor with the Manhattan DA's office is reminding the country that Donald Trump's time as a free man could depend on what happens in the election tomorrow. If Trump loses, he will almost certainly be sentenced by Judge Juan Merchan at the end of this month, and there's a chance that could include a prison sentence. But even if Merchan doesn't put him behind bars, many other judges and juries could end up doing it - but ONLY if he loses tomorrow. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

Michael Wolff, a renowned jazz pianist, composer and bandleader known for his virtuoso performances and innovative style. After leaving music school early to join the Latin-jazz great Cal Yader's band in the early '70s, he spent the next two decades gigging and recording extensively. Michael can be heard on over 21 recordings with a veritable hall of fame ranging from Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Nancy Wilson (he was her musical director), Sheila E, Christian McBride, Tony Williams, and more. He has performed with and conducted over 25 symphony orchestras worldwide and also had a five-year tenure as the musical director of the high energy house band on Arsenio Hall's groundbreaking late-night talk show. This journey led to him accompanying saxophonist and Presidential candidate Bill Clinton in 1992. His newest album, MEMOIR is a stunning collection of 11 tracks, a mixture of moods, beautifully and elegantly played with his frequent trio partners, stellar musicians Alan Mednard, and Ben Allison. His newest album release is especially noteworthy because it is miraculous he is alive after a brutal battle with a misdiagnosed form of cancer that had him at death's door. But he's back making incredible music! #jazzmusic #jazz #jazzmusician #jazzpiano #piano #cancersurvivor #memoir #newalbum #newmusic #newrelease #neworleans #chicago #newyork #losangeles #arsenohall
