Michael Wolff returns with Joanna Coles for a blistering look at the latest fractures inside Trump's MAGA coalition. From Trump's resurfacing of Epstein anxieties and his strange new pardon predicament with Ghislaine Maxwell, to his growing unease over Israel and the rise of Christian nationalism, Wolff sketches a portrait of a president losing control of the populist movement he created. The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles presses Wolff on Tucker Carlson's ambitions, online swirling Charlie Kirk conspiracies, and J.D. Vance's quiet maneuvering for power. Together, they dissect how Trump's cult of loyalty is turning on itself and why his old tactics may finally be failing. Is Trump still the master of the MAGA hivemind, or has he become just another voice in the chaos he unleashed? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In his memoir One Damn Thing After Another, former Attorney General Bill Barr reaffirmed his belief that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, dismissing widespread speculation of foul play. Barr described Epstein's death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” blaming systemic incompetence at the Metropolitan Correctional Center rather than conspiracy. He detailed how the facility's guards failed to perform mandatory checks, cameras malfunctioned, and protocols broke down at every level. Barr said that after personally viewing the surveillance footage and autopsy results, he concluded Epstein had indeed hanged himself, though he admitted the timing and circumstances were “unbelievably coincidental.” He also recounted informing then-President Trump, who reacted with disbelief that such a high-profile prisoner could die in federal custody.Journalist Michael Wolff took a sharply different angle in his reporting and in his book Too Famous. Wolff portrayed Epstein's death not as mere bureaucratic failure but as a politically charged event involving figures like Bill Barr. He claimed Epstein boasted before his death that Barr, not Trump, was “really in charge” in Washington—an assertion that Wolff framed as symbolic of Epstein's manipulative arrogance and deep connections. Wolff insinuated that Barr's Justice Department may have had incentives to control the fallout surrounding Epstein's demise, emphasizing how quickly official narratives were accepted and how conveniently they buried lingering questions. His depiction suggested Epstein's end fit a long pattern of elite protection and strategic silence rather than pure misfortune.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The CEO of Walmart is acknowledging that AI will “change literally every job,” as AI threatens workers' jobs and incomes everywhere and data centers tear up communities. The capitalists are currently who will benefit from new technology, with increasing profit while they cut jobs. Professor Richard Wolff argues that's not how it has to be—if we fight for worker control of the technology, workers can reap the rewards.Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) speaks with Tory M. Wolff, MBA, an author of a study published in the September 2025 issue and managing partner of Recon Strategy, a management consulting firm specializing in health care strategy. His study, "Impact of More Primary Care Visits on Commercial Health Care Costs," found that more frequent routine primary care visits among certain higher-risk commercially insured adults are associated with lower net population-level health care costs. In this conversation, Wolff explores the inspiration behind his research, expands on his findings, and discusses the next steps to better understand the long-term value of routine primary care in commercial populations.

A popular myth propagated ad nauseam may begin to sound like the truth to some. It is no different for the “risk” theory of profit: the claim that capitalists “create” profits by assuming risk to capital. This theory was born out of the rise of the financial bourgeoisie as a dominant class; from the standpoint of this class, as Marx points out, “production is just an unavoidable middle”. For the financial bourgeoisie, it is a pure case of M to M”, the attempt to convert money into more money by buying and selling financial assets. But the “modern portfolio theory” is an extension of the same ideas on risk theory that Frank Knight first posited in the 1920s. Its irrationality can be best understood by quoting the popular investor Charlie Munger, who famously remarked that “much of what is taught in corporate finance is, frankly, twaddle”. In this episode, we explore the risk theory of profit with Prof. Wolff and ask: Is this theory a good representation of profits under capitalism?   About The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff.

The Shmuze - Rabbi Wolff by Shapell's Rabbeim

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to examine a week where Trump's world collides with scandal, faith, and science. From Epstein's secret photo stash and Kash Patel's embarrassing congressional testimony, to Trump's jarring rage at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Wolff dissects the cracks in MAGA's political and spiritual future. Erika Kirk's moving forgiveness speech, Trump's uninformed vaccine rants, and Sam Nunberg's blunt “Trump is an idiot” verdict all point to a deeper question: how much longer can Trump's anger and anti-science rhetoric hold his MAGA movement together?

Have you ever dismissed that quiet inner nudge, only to regret it later? While most of us think we’re missing intuition, the truth is we’re systematically blocked from accessing it. We’ve been conditioned to trust logic over the whispers of our unconscious mind. But what if there was a way to reopen that bridge between rational thinking and deeper inner knowing? In this transformative episode, psychologist and bestselling author Athena Laz reveals the hidden psychological trap that’s been severing your connection to intuitive wisdom since childhood, and introduces a powerful archetypal framework that can restore it. The Science Behind Your Blocked Intuition Athena shares compelling research that proves intuitive abilities are real and measurable. Studies by researcher Rupert Sheldrake demonstrate that humans can sense when they’re being watched from kilometres away, even when facing the opposite direction. Countless people worldwide dream of natural disasters before they occur, often in places they’ve never visited. This isn’t mystical thinking. It’s documented human capacity that most of us have learned to ignore. Introducing the Medial Archetype The conversation centres on a revolutionary concept developed in the 1950s by analyst Tony Wolff, a brilliant collaborator of Carl Jung. Wolff identified what she called the “medial archetype” – a psychological structure that serves as a bridge between: The conscious and unconscious mind Dreams and waking reality The seen and unseen worlds Inner wisdom and external action Athena brings this forgotten archetype into modern times, showing how anyone can access this bridging function regardless of gender identity or background. Why Society Programmed You to Distrust Your Gut The episode explores how social conditioning systematically disconnects us from our natural intuitive abilities. From childhood, many of us learn that psychic experiences, vivid dreams, or “knowing” things without logical explanation aren’t acceptable. This creates what Athena calls a “psychological trap” – we possess the capacity for expanded awareness but have been taught to dismiss it as imagination or wishful thinking. Recognising the Medial Archetype in Daily Life The medial archetype appears through various channels: In Dreams: Figures serving as messengers or guides Symbols of bridges, rainbows, or infinity signs Angels or beings facilitating communication In Mythology: The Greek goddess Iris, who travels rainbow bridges between the divine and mortal realms Characters who mediate between different worlds or states of consciousness In Daily Life: Synchronicities that carry authentic weight and meaning Moments when inner and outer reality seem to respond to each other Natural emergence of symbolic experiences without prompting Practical Steps to Reconnect With Your Intuition Athena provides actionable guidance for developing intuitive abilities: Start Playfully Guess where the best parking space will be Before checking your phone, sense who the next email might be from Practice on low-stakes situations to remove pressure Begin Dream Work Write down the last dream you remember each morning Look for recurring symbols or themes Notice connections between dream content and waking life events Commit to Stillness Start with just 2 minutes of quiet sitting daily Gradually build to 10-20 minutes Develop “meta-awareness” – noticing your thoughts without judgment The Light and Shadow of Archetypal Work Working with the medial archetype brings significant benefits: Increased discernment Enhanced trust in the unknown Better navigation of life transitions Deeper connection to inner wisdom However, Athena emphasises potential challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by collective energies Difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries Need for grounding practices and realistic expectations Why This Matters Now More Than Ever In our polarised world, the medial archetype’s bridge-making function becomes crucial. As technology accelerates life to unsustainable speeds and external focus creates widespread anxiety, reconnecting with inner guidance offers both personal healing and cultural evolution. Research shows the average person spends over two hours daily scrolling mindlessly online while claiming they don’t have 10 minutes for inner stillness. Athena challenges this priority, asking: “Can you afford NOT to sit in those 20 minutes?” About Athena Laz Athena Laz is the bestselling author of “Women Who Dance in the Dark,” “The Alchemy of Your Dreams,” “The Sisterhood of Seers Oracle Deck,” and “The Deliberate Dreamer’s Journal.” Her books have been translated into more than 13 languages worldwide. As an intuitive, psychologist, and lucid dream teacher, she helps thousands of people connect with spirit and psyche through dreams, mysticism, intuitive development, and archetypal work. Three Golden Nuggets: Start Today Find Play in Seriousness – Approach intuitive development with curiosity rather than pressure. Do what makes you feel good. Record Your Dreams – Write down the last dream you remember each morning. This simple practice re-energises dream recall and memory. Practice Two-Minute Stillness – Sit quietly for just two minutes daily, developing awareness of your thoughts without judgment. Key Takeaway Accessing your intuitive abilities isn’t about becoming more “spiritual” – it’s about becoming more fully human. The boundary between inner and outer worlds is far more porous than we’ve been taught. Learning to navigate this reality with skill and discernment can transform how you make decisions, understand yourself, and move through the world.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to explain why Donald Trump has chosen now to formalize his assault on the media. From the president's feud with Jimmy Kimmel and Disney's quiet capitulation, to Wolff's surreal late-night ice cream with Trump in Beverly Hills, and even his own face projected onto Windsor Castle, this episode traces the strange intersections of power, ego, and greed. Along the way, they explore how MAGA's loyalty to Trump is being tested by Trump's ongoing Epstein scandal and his administration's formal push to silence free speech, evidenced by a dramatic drop in Trump's approval ratings. Is Trump's control over culture and politics starting to fray, or only tightening in new ways? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff and the Beast's Joanna Coles unpack the president's awkward state visit to Britain. From King Charles' white-tie dinner with Trump and Rupert Murdoch, to the firing of U.K. ambassador Peter Mandelson over his own Epstein entanglements, to Labour leader Keir Starmer's desperate attempt to turn the trip into a political win, the pageantry collides with scandal at every turn. With Epstein, Epstein, Epstein still haunting Trump's every move, can royal pomp and photo ops really save him or just magnify the shadows trailing behind? And why was Wolff's own face suddenly projected 200 feet high onto Windsor Castle? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to unravel Donald Trump's response to Charlie Kirk's killing. They examine how Trump rushed to blame the left before facts were known, appears to have dodged any real grief, and may still be haunted by his own brush with assassination. From a Trump's droopy face appearing at this week's 9/11 memorial, to cracks with RFK Jr., a cabinet unease over inflation, and Epstein's “birthday book” resurfacing, it's been another chaotic week for the president. They also discuss the FBI's fumbling search for Kirk's killer and how its apparent incompetence has fueled conspiracy theories and social media attacks across the political divide. They explore how these events reveal a leader trapped by ghosts of the past. And they ask whether Trump is running from Kirk's death or from himself. Hosted on Acast.

From a birthday book signed by Trump to a shady mansion deal, to an $83 million judgment and claims of FBI informants, the hosts unpack the evidence, denials, and contradictions. They explore how Trump's excuses collapse under scrutiny and why his ties to Epstein keep resurfacing.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to go inside the rage-filled White House where Trump is reacting to blows from judges—including to his tariffs. They explore what happens when judges say no to Trump. And they examine how tariffs have become a unilateral tool of punishment and power, why the courts are pushing back, and how Trump reacts with rage when confronted by these limits. From attempts to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles to efforts to expand emergency powers, this episode examines what it looks like when one President attempts to circumvent a republic's rules and insists that no one can oppose him. At stake are the checks and balances of American democracy and the question of whether the system can withstand Trump's defiance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Getting people to voluntarily share their best information and act in the best interest of their team are two of the biggest challenges leaders face. In an insecure economy, it can be more difficult to get people on a team to demonstrate prosocial behavior, however, Dr. Vanessa Druskat's research proves that emotionally intelligent teams that are supportive of each other - by listening deeply, offering help, and celebrating the successes of others - will offer superior results. In this interview, Dr. Druskat shares how leaders can build collaborative groups that outperform the competition. She says that healthy teams emerge when norms are created that allow everyone on the team to be heard and to contribute in their roles. She goes on to discuss how to create a sense of belonging when so many people revile DEI, how AI is going to influence the desire to work collaboratively, and how her research on team effectiveness can be applied to create more unified communities. Dr. Vanessa Druskat is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of New Hampshire. She is an internationally recognized leadership and team performance expert who advises leaders and teams in some of the world's most respected Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 organizations. Her thirty-year research career examining differences between team cultures (i.e., social norms and routines) in high-performing and average-performing work teams led her to pioneer the concept of team emotional intelligence. She has published award-winning research articles in her field's top academic and practitioner journals and serves on the executive board of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations. Her popular Harvard Business Review article (with S. Wolff) on emotionally intelligent teams has been reprinted four times in collections of HBR's most valued articles. Her book “The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest” was released in July of 2025.

Kennedy Jr. into his administration, despite his history of drug abuse, womanizing, and a long career of anti-vaccine activism.

From collapsing expert panels and vaccine shortages to Trump's fleeting fantasy of a “Trump Kennedy 2024” ticket, the conversation reveals a dangerous bargain. Wolff recalls his decades of encounters with RFK Jr., from his days as a campus drug dealer to his ambitions for the presidency, painting a portrait of a broken man now wielding immense power.
