Welcome to the premiere of 'Inside Trump’s Head', a new twice-weekly deep dive from The Daily Beast into the most unpredictable, unsettling, and endlessly fascinating mind in modern politics. Host Joanna Coles teams up with best-selling Trump biographer Michael Wolff to explore what’s really driving Donald Trump. In this inaugural episode, Wolff shares exclusive White House conversations suggesting Trump may be ready to give up large parts of Ukraine in a high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin — all to distract from the ceaseless Jeffrey Epstein scandal threatening his grip on the MAGA base. From the hidden hand of Jared Kushner to Steve Bannon’s private doubts, from Putin’s possible kompromat to the Epstein “drumbeat” that won’t fade, Coles and Wolff go spelunking into the dark, dank cavern where all of Trump’s decisions begin.

The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles unpacks the two biggest reality shows of our time: Britain's royal family and Donald Trump's presidency. First she lifts the lid on what's really going on in the White House and Mar-a-Lago with the Beast's Executive Editor Hugh Dougherty and finds out who's been voted off the island, who's been pitted in a brutal head-to-head contest and why Warren Buffett just delivered a stinging rebuke with a personal sting in the tail. Then Coles turns to the Beast's European Editor-at-Large Tom Sykes for revelation after revelation about the British royals. Why is Prince Harry really pleading for reconciliation with his father, King Charles? And why is the California exile hinting that someone wants him dead like his mom, Princess Diana—and who exactly does he mean?

Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee get the skinny on Donald Trump’s new body and a lot more from legendary White House correspondent April Ryan—who reveals her very painful “manx” theory about the slimmerline leader. And Ryan dives into the jaw-dropping moment her own colleagues confused her with another Black woman who covers Trump, NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor. Joanna and Sam ask left-field California governor candidate Stephen Cloobeck about following in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s footsteps. They quiz the timeshare billionaire on his OnlyFans model ex and their messy public split. Cloobeck reveals a new twist in their affair—and spills on what happened when he spoke to possible rival Kamala Harris.

CNN star Abby Phillip tells Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee what really happens on CNN Newsnight—the show where angry clashes, shouting matches and even expulsions go viral every night. Phillip spills on whether Scott Jennings is really like that when the cameras stop rolling, names its most-famous viewer and reveals how she gets a word in edgewise. The millennial anchor says whether she watches TV herself and gives her verdict on turning to TikTok. And she has a warning for bosses who bow to Trump: He’ll just want more from you. Joanna and Sam break down the latest on Pete Hegseth’s inability to keep battle plans to himself and on Kristi Noem’s inability to hang on to her purse.
