I Know Why Trump Isn't The Man I Knew: Anthony Scaramucci | The Daily Beast Podcast

Video Description

Anthony Scaramucci joins the Beast’s Joanna Coles for a no-holds-barred look inside Trump’s turbulent second term. Trump's former first-term Communications Director and longtime Trump confidant-turned-critic calls Trump “the wicked witch of the West Wing” and predicts the moment he finally melts. Scaramucci revisits his infamous 11 days in the White House, missing his son’s birth, and the cost of blind loyalty. He tears into the GOP’s pretenders to Trump’s throne from J.D. Vance’s obsequiousness to Marco Rubio’s shape-shifting. Coles keeps the chaos sharp, pulling out Scaramucci’s rawest insights on power, ego, and redemption. And it all builds to one cutting question: if Trump’s the wicked witch of the West Wing, who’s bold enough to throw the water? 00:00 - Introduction 03:03 - Why Trump Is Addicted To Power 07:07 - Why Scaramucci Won't Run For President 09:30 - America Is At A Historic Low 13:02 - Republicans Need To Address Long Term Strategy 17:22 - SCOTUS Citizen's United Decision Needs To Be Overturned 19:16 - Who Will Lead Republicans After Trump 22:50 - There's More To Charlie Kirk's Death Than We're Hearing 25:16 - Trump Wants One Of His Children To Become President 27:26 - Which of Trump's Sons Will Run? 29:45 - How Trump's Second Term Differentiates From The First 34:14 - Money Being Spent In Washington To Stop Trump's Bad Decisions 37:20 - Why America Will Survive Donald Trump 40:14 - Viewer Comments Asked And Answered 43:47 - Click 'Join' Button Below, Become An Official Member Of Our YouTube Community 👂 Podcast: The Daily Beast Podcast 📺 Episode: 596 🎧 Format: Full Podcast 📅 Date: October 06, 2025 👨‍💼 Guest: Anthony Scaramucci 🎙️ Host: Joanna Coles #podcast #news #trump Click here to become an official member of the Daily Beast's YouTube community: https://youtube.com/@TheDailyBeast/join Have a question or comment for us?
