What theory does the show propose about RFK Jr.’s role in today’s conspiracy‑and‑hypochondria zeitgeist?
This theory just popped into my head. Politics at this point in time is the intersection of conspiracy and hypochondria. RFK Jr. understands that, and that is the circumstance and the issue, the Zeitgeist, that he is going to try to run to take him to the presidency. This intense focus on one's own well-being, which is a form Hypochondria, of course. Everything is broken. I feel bad. I think RFK Jr., still junior at 72, understands this and sees it as a very potent issue. Everybody is running for president. Everybody is exploring their next career step. This is theoretically in this podcast that he's does the food peer. pyramid so he'll he's gonna be the the food pyramid president
Michael.
Do we end up?
It's In the late eighties here, temperature wise, but the feel is a hundred and five.
Soup.
It's soup. It's thick, thick soup.
New York New York soup. Um it's uh it's well there's a cool breeze out here, of course, 'cause it's the Hamptons.
Of course, of course. 'Cause you live in billionaire territory, Michael, whereas I am uh a working stiff in the city, but so much to get Well, there's a few few a few billionaires I know in your neighborhood. Uh, possibly. Before we get into this delicious uh array of topics, something I'm sure RFK Junior himself could whip up uh a meal with our ingredients today, uh a reminder to subscribe to the Daily Beast podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts, we are independent media. The reason that Michael and I can go inside Donald Trump's head three times a week uh is because of your support. We appreciate it. So just press the subscription button wherever you are. So much to get through. Your forgotten memory syndrome of your meetings with Max Miller, we have to get to.
RFK Junior's new podcast. Michael, we're late to this. He dropped his first episode six days ago. I've watched it so our viewers and listeners don't have to. And of course, he's doing that while the country experiences explosive diarrhea. 22,000 cases. The helipad on the South Lawn, what's going on with the helipad? It's being dismantled and and rebuilt. Um and of course I actually wondered if we should rename this podcast, which we've called Inside Trump's Head and it's where we've been going for the last year. In fact, next Tuesday is our one year anniversary. Um
How many is that?
Uh almost two hundred actually. But I wondered if we should rename it inside Trump's hair.
Oh well I can tell you what's inside Trump's hair actually.
It's new hairstyle. It's got to be a mix of I think it's woolen acrylic. I I I need to understand all of it. But first we should remind people who we are. You are Michael Wolf. Describe yourself.
And this often happens to me that that there's 'cause I do a lot of podcasts and it's and people say, uh so who are you? Um And let me actually expand on that story is that I I went to a high school many, many, many years ago. And um and I didn't have a good time there. And ever since I've been waiting for the invitation to go back and speak before this this um this high school and tell them all the problems that with this high school and why I didn't like it and why um I was so unhappy. happy and um and I have gotten many invitations to speak at many schools, but never once at the school that I went to. And then a few years ago, I did get the um the in invitation. We were reaching out to alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers.
And I thought, huh, finally, here here I here I am. And I said, I would be delighted to return. And then they said, um, and can we ask what was the field that you distinguished yourself in?
All right, well I can answer that. It's writing books about very relevant subjects. Rupert Murdoch not l not least. It's really you're very good about writing about power, about famous people. Um and I tend to think of it as the seven deadly sins about greed, envy, ambition, all the things that trip people up in their quest for the brass ring.
I would just qualify that that I that I think that my interest is in characters and writing about characters and larger than life characters, which of course brought me to Donald Trump, who um uh who I have written about now for 10 years.
