They unpack reports of a furious showdown with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the surprising rise of loyalists with little traditional experience, the mounting political cost of RFK Jr.’s influence, and new questions surrounding Trump’s health as speculation swirls around his recent medical visits. Along the way, Wolff shares a remarkable campaign-trail story involving Jeffrey Epstein’s former plane, reveals why Trump may care more about controlling the Republican Party than winning elections, and examines the latest controversy surrounding Melania Trump’s past, offering a revealing look at the obsessions, grievances, and calculations driving the president’s decisions behind closed doors.
