  • The Sleazy Reason Trump Can’t Quit Ghislaine Maxwell

    The Sleazy Reason Trump Can’t Quit Ghislaine Maxwell
    Aug 29 2025
    Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff dig into Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison interviews with Trump’s DOJ, Epstein’s lingering influence on Trump, and Trump’s presidential culture of copious pardons for nefarious American characters. They examine how rich criminals and political allies maneuvered for Trump's favor, and how loyalty, leverage, and money shaped decisions inside the Oval Office. From secret phone calls to private doubts, Wolff unpacks what drives Trump's unusual sympathy Trump reportedly felt for Maxwell and the political pressures he's facing in deciding whether to pardon her. And Wolff highlights how Epstein’s social connections, including Fergie and Prince Andrew, intersected with Trump, showing the unexpected ways their worlds became connected.

  • Why Trump Is The Real Danger to the Economy: Ruhle

    Why Trump Is The Real Danger to the Economy: Ruhle
    Aug 28 2025

    MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle joins Joanna Coles to unpack Donald Trump’s power moves against the Federal Reserve's governors. From his campaign against Fed chairman Jerome Powell to saying he has fired Black governor Lisa Cook, the conversation reveals a president at war with the independent central bank. The two explore how Trump leans on Wall Street CEOs, demands loyalty over judgment, and pulls business leaders like Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook into his orbit as props in his economic battles. And Ruhle spells out why Wall Street's hair is on fire about New York socialist Zohran Mamdami but it should be ablaze about Trump.

  • White House Raging at Trump Health Crisis: Wolff

    White House Raging at Trump Health Crisis: Wolff
    Aug 27 2025
    Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff dig into the explosive Trump DOJ transcripts of Ghislaine Maxwell’s meeting with Todd Blanche and what they reveal about Jeffrey Epstein’s finances, Donald Trump’s anxieties, and more. From the talk in the White House of Trump “keeling over” and the President’s obsession with Ghislaine Maxwell, the conversation unpacks Trump’s paranoia, monied moves, and lingering ties to Epstein’s world. They also examine the mounting worries over Trump’s physical decline, from swollen ankles to his unsteady gait, that fueled private panic among his aides. With fresh Epstein details overlooked by the mainstream media found within Maxwell’s proffer, Wolff explains how Trump’s past scandals keep colliding with his present.

Unnecessary profanity -- the badge of proving this is Leftist speak. The 'Hunter Biden Laptop Story' was never about 'Dick Pics', bad as that topic alone is, it is more about national security and the Big Man owned by the CCP, which unleashed Wokesters do not think that topic is an issue at all. Elon Musk was and never had been a right wing fanatic. This discussion is the one story that didn't age well in this podcast... Like how 'Elon has routinely been unsuccessful in business once again loses his ass in his latest acquiring of Twitter,' WHAT? So unsuccessful he is the richest person in the world kind of failure? That kind of misguided failure? I predict Twitter will become a massive success. in just a month, it has already proven to have significantly improved in users with a fraction of the staff, and instead of stamping out free speech, asks users live what kind of company they want Twitter to be? Trump has never said "Set the Constitution aside," and anoint me king. For any of Walker's fallibilities one only has to look at the Woke voted-for 'not fit to serve, but is,' condition of Fetterman and / or Biden's Brain. It amuses me to no end how many Jews do exactly what Ye accuses them of doing immediately after his AJ interview, and every one takes the actual context of the interview out of context through ad nauseum clips of single words as -- irony of all ironies --Ye proves the new "N-Word" is co-opted from Blacks by Jews for their own use. (No one on this podcast admits to watching the actual full AJ interview for reference.) For example, Nick Fuentez admitted during the interview that he was not an invited guest at the Trump dinner, he tailgated the coattails of Ye to gain access. For all the Trump-hate and following Trump's demise podcasting, technically, years later you STILL cannot call him a criminal. Through dozens of investigations, criminal investigations, and raids, Trump smells like a rose and Leftists hate that more than life itself. And at least follow enshrined Woke rules, at least one can call Ye by the name he asks to be called. Talk about right projection? The funny thing is, facts have proven over and over again how the Left wears Projection like the best badge of honor. Just checking into the other side as "I really try to get a full picture of who these people really are."

Well, this episode didn't age well
