Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan - On “Regime Change” & Inside The Trump Presidency | The Daily Show
Video Overview & Insights
New York Times reporters and authors of the new book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sit down with Jon Stewart to discuss the surprising revelations they uncovered about the Trump administration, like the president being absent from the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, as well as the motivation behind controversial moves like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran war. They also speak to how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone and compare his first term to his second, which they describe as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny – because who else can survive four indictments and two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time? #DailyShow #Trump #Presidency #MAGA #IranWar
This country is now ruled by a very small minority who are part of a literal cult who's leader and members are slowly taking apart our democracy. This slow moving coupe is supported by the Orange Jesus' grifter friends and family, the Supreme Court, the GOP, Fox, FB, Twitter and all the radical right wing media because they all profit form it. Most people will not believe this until they witness the ICE troops shut down DEM voting stations durning the next presidential election. CONald will be running for his 3rd term. I wish I was wrong, but you KNOW I'm not.

Agree with all. This was a great interview! Jon is so clever at making things seriously funny, and commenting on the serious danger at the same time!❤❤

In a time when real investigative journalists are being murdered or shutdown across the world for scrutinising power, people like Jonathon and Maggie are beacons to us all. And they have hit upon something staring us all in the face: the Trump Administration is a REGIME, so let’s actually call it that.

25:30 best interview moment ever - Jonathan Swan so genuinely trying to hold it together, and bowing his head in defeat

During the Jan. 6th Congressional investigation multiple staffers in the first administration testified that Trump knew he lost the 2020 election. It’s not a matter of what he believes. His insistence to the contrary is Trump employing his lifelong strategy of deny, deflect and pass blame that he learned from Roy Cohn, his attorney and “infamous New York City power broker and legal fixer”. Trump’s merely sticking to a plan that he believes has worked for him.

The 'humiliation rituals' are Trump reliving his arrested development under his father's iron fist and desperately trying to BE his father.
@heatherh5639A great follow-up (post-haste!) would be a deep look at Pete Hegseth. Because what I worry over is that Hegseth may be the real commander & chief. A bit of connecting dots can be quite scary. The things he has said & done right from the start It is as though Trump doesn't care. For, while Hegseth may not be represented in google's spellcheck, he appears to be the most powerful delusion on the Planet.
@johncoffman1841Why does Jon need to go for the laugh when his country is burning?
@Mortimer81-i7xJohnathon Australian his father well known medical journalist-both quick witted and smart. In Australia journalists are backed up by other senior journos and a very strong union. Look up how frank sinatra was unable to perform or leave his room or the country when he verbally abused a female journalist on air- referring to female journos as “hookers” all trade unions united and refused to provide any services including the airlines lol had to very publicly apologise.this was 1974- the union mediator went on to be a very popular Prime Minister. the whole country united in the condemnation
@yvonnerolley9676Trump knew at the outset, that he would never be able to admit that he knew the 2020 election was not stolen. If he did after six months of complaining, he would have lost everything that he has gained since then. He had a psychic episode on January 6 and hasn't been the same since. It happened in the beast when he was refused transportation to the Capital. He was almost ready to disappear for a week like Stalin did but he was required to make that statement after the riot. He had no time. Time that was required for him to accept that he had lost.
@deepdigger-c6kJon Stewart made Maggie laugh. I have never seen her laugh.
@4boysmomThis is why, as people before me have said, the rest of the world needs to be allowed to vote in US elections.
@slartybartfast47874:24 I totally trust Jonathan swan
@debdee2102JD IS THE RAT! duhhh😂
@moonjustmoon4392They sit on info for books published months in the future, so yea I’m out.
@anticapitalism-z3bI didn't like the way you kept interrupting in order to get your jokes in, it was too much and instead of the public learning about the book, it was about you trying to shine with your constant interruptions and "jokes", maybe some people enjoy that, but in this case you took away from them and the work they did on their book. 😢😢
@marthatenorio6427Trump's administration and MAGA followers have literally mythologized him 😮😮😮
@kellyjkyddJon, can you be a little more dramatic?
@JackKemper-g3oAlternate video title: "How Jon Stewart broke Jonathan Swan."
Excellent interview. Thank you, all 🙏
I never thought i would see Maggie laugh.
@AuroraMeansDawn27American, you in danger, girl
@Skeeeebo21You can tell how much Maggie loves Jon, she is basically cracking this whole interview
@richardscott9973Why can't the journalists laugh? I get trying to be professional, but why try to be so serious? Is it a relationship-maintenance view (not wanting to upset some people they have as sources)?
@honestlyjustsofedupMaggie Haberman’s ability to keep a straight face is impressive!
@HMhandmadeGreat interview, I'm buying the book now
@janet1424The best salesmen must believe their own lies to be credible.
@tek4u22Shut up John.
Let them speak.
People say Trump is demented. But he has sense enough to do racist attacks, merch us civilians and going to cause a global recession . We give him to much credit. He knows
@Veronica-e2z9b8:12 I don’t think anyone in America believes the Democrats rigged the election. The fact is the powers that be rigged the election.! And they’ve done it back-and-forth Democrats Republicans.! It is what it is.!
@safespot69Jon you are adorable. Thank you for everything you do especially for us vets 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹
@Veronica-e2z9bKaitlan Collins keeping it real woot woot!
@jamieseguin8576Jonathon is trying not to laugh when Jon invokes Stephen Miller 😂
@TheOdelld21:18 all gas, no brains. Literally and figuratively.
@jasonhaffarMaggie Haberman is the definition of access journalism for the past 10 years regarding Trump
@jillion1351This is the hardest interview they've done.
@khrys18Proud of the Aussie!
@VandanaReddy-o6hThe greatest cash grab in the history of the world. That's him, his family, his administration and will be the legacy.
@BrianLepisI think what's sad is that you can even get everything down in print and video, yet at least 40 percent don't care what he says. If he did the economic things the normal way, the majority would absolve him of all his bad deeds and sins. The decay in this country has been accelerated by this idiot.
@frankfarklesberryOk I have read so many chapters book is immense fantastic
@plauria3175The hush that went over the crowd when the journalists said the people in his admin actually believe in Trumps destiny...its truly a terrifying thought.
@mustmakechannelWe are all (mostly) baffled Jon.! 🥴🤪 🇨🇦 ✌️
@swapshots4427Did Maggie Haberman laugh and smile?
@carlysma2891Funnii was watching this when you sent it to me.
@petea9072John Stewart is remarkable talented. What a great interview.
@trinidianai get the feeling that Jon had a directive to make as many jokes as possible, because lets be honest: the people watching are more likely to glaze over and start looking at their phones..
@FrankedlyDoodleyHaberman is hugely responsible for Trump getting re-elected in the first place back in 2024. I'll never forgive her for that.
@SamuraiFoochsFYI: “Regime Change” is on Audible! Looking forward to listening while doing tedious chores!
