I was interested in that word, annihilated. So I spoke to somebody in the in the White House um who said, Well, you know, his favorite word is obliterated, but he specifically asked for a new word. They offered him up Annihilated, which he which he liked because it was somewhat like ob obliterated, but also that but it wasn't. So he got a new word. It was like presenting Trump with a new word. He's not going to annihilate um uh Iran in the same way he didn't obliterate Iran. It's just Trumpian inflation, Trumpian drama, the Trumpian word. Uh he finds a word that he likes and we will now hear annihilated on a rather regular basis, of course.
Michael
Joanna.
It's fall, it's Ungar Week, UN General Assembly Week, and you are wearing the most splendid shade of green I think I have ever seen. I I it's good that you're not in the studio or I would simply rip that cardigan from you.
Um, I I'm I don't know what to say about this. This uh we we've we've never this is the most intimate we've ever gotten.
We're going to start fighting over clothes. I want to remind people, please subscribe to The Daily Beast wherever you get your podcast.
Why is Trump looking for a new word like “annihilated” to describe Iran?
You just have to smash the subscription button. Uh, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and of course, we will be live, very exciting, on October the 20th at the Terragram Ballroom, downtown LA. Um, and to get your tickets. Tickets, it's beast.pub slash ITH Live. That's beast.pub slash ith live, or you can go to Ticketmaster. And I am told, somewhat excitingly, the tickets are selling fast. So I think it was your threat to to be unplugged, Michael. your threat should just be unedited.
Out, um, all of the spats that we have um that um that are sanitized. Well, you'll hear them all. You will
hear them all. You will hear them all. And big congrats in uh Arduo because you've hit a million followers on Instagram. Which actually ties in quite nicely with the fact that the judge after midnight last night, so let's give it to judges who are working overtime, uh declared Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now and Politico un unconstitutional and immediately I think reinstated their prespasses.
They they do, but I think them the my million followers, and I get these million followers because, you know, I make these these short videos in my um uh too slow talking Presbyterian minister kind of voice um about uh about Trump and I and also in the background of my house in Amaganza. Which I think people find a kind of particularly peaceful background to the to the Trumpian horrors. And that's all due to my wife who films and design who has designed the house and films me and puts me in corners of the house. I'm actually really rather her puppet. But the important thing is
You're nobody's puppet. I think people have tried to make you a puppet and they know that that's a complete hiding to nothing.
Well, I think she succeeds, but she has special talents in that department. Um but Um, I think that the interesting thing is, you know, against the background of of this fight over cable news stations, cable news stations are like the past. Um, you know, I mean, I think we have a bigger audience here on Inside Trump's Head than most cable stations at this point. Um, certainly, you know, a million followers on Instagram. People are while while while uh Trump and the networks fight this old battle, people have gone some other place, far far from the traditional television um pla news news outlets.
Well, I think also that creators and I think you are at seventy three. uh, Michael Wolfe Junior, uh still junior at seventy three, uh, you've become a YouTube creator too, right? This is not something that you ever expected in your media journey.
