## Resource

In this special episode of the Daily Beast Podcast, Joanna Coles shares some of her favorite recent conversations: from Jennifer Welch’s unfiltered breakdown of the personalities driving the Trump administration to Kurt Andersen’s fascinating look at how America’s culture helped create the perfect stage for Trump’s rise, and Stephanie Ruhle’s sharp analysis of the economic fallout from global conflict. Along the way, they unpack the loyalty tests inside Trump’s orbit, the uneasy relationship between power, wealth, and influence, the politics behind spectacle, and why the consequences of today's headlines reach far beyond Washington. It’s a collection of some of the podcast’s most insightful, provocative, and revealing moments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
