About this episode
Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take a closer look at the latest signs of dysfunction inside Trump’s White House, from Jeanine Pirro’s stunning retreat over the disastrous reflecting pool to the murky story behind Trump’s call to embattled Congressman Max Miller. They unpack the Senate’s capitulation over Todd Blanche, Trump’s historically terrible poll numbers and the mindset that allows him to simply dismiss them, before turning to the increasingly chaotic Iran conflict and the risk that Trump’s impulsive foreign policy is making a dangerous situation even worse. Then, the stakes get much bigger as David Ellison’s bid to build an entertainment empire brings Paramount, CBS, CNN and Donald Trump into an increasingly tangled political and media power struggle.
