Jonathan Swan, co-author of a book about the Trump administration's inner workings, stated on *The Bulwark Daily* that the media only knows 5% of what is happening inside the current administration. He highlighted specific issues related to national security, financial dealings, and self-interest within the government. Specifically, he revealed new information suggesting the military is running low on long-range missiles like Patriots at a rate of nearly one month's worth every day due to the war's costs.
During the discussion, Swan also noted that Stephen Miller has become a significant figure in the White House as its resident kingmaker. Additionally, Swan and Tim Miller had contentious exchanges regarding Jonathan's divergent public and private positions on the ongoing conflict. The episode of *The Bulwark Daily* was part of an event series aiming to benefit those in need in Springfield, Ohio.
