Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder Keep Us Guessing
The comedian Nathan Fielder came to fame as the creator and host of the Comedy Central series “Nathan for You.” The show followed Fielder as he devised outrageous schemes, ostensibly with the aim of helping various small businesses. What became clear, though, was that Fielder was less interested in helping business owners generate profits than he was in understanding the people ensnared in his plots. His next project, the HBO series “The Rehearsal,” was a similar offbeat portrait of offbeat people. At the center of both projects is Fielder himself, a documentarian whose motives can sometimes be hard to parse.This week, Fielder’s first feature-length documentary, “You Can See Everything,” hits theaters. Co-directed by Lance Oppenheim, the movie shows Fielder embedding himself into the life of the disgraced Theranos founder and felon Elizabeth Holmes in the days leading up to her imprisonment for fraud. The film caused a big splash when it debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, in part because it presents Holmes, a mysterious and compelling cultural figure, through the eyes of Fielder, a mysterious and compelling filmmaker.This week, the Times movie critic Alissa Wilkinson and critic at large Jason Zinoman, who covers comedy, join Michael Barbaro for a spoiler-free discussion of Nathan Fielder, his career, and why he might be the perfect person to tell the story of Elizabeth Holmes.

MAGA's Midterm Defectors
Perhaps no American feels the domestic effects of the war, tariffs and inflation more than the Iowa farmer. The political environment stirred up by those farmers’ strife could allow the Democrats to seize the moment and elect one of theirs to the Senate or the governor’s mansion for the first time in 20 years — making Iowa potentially one of the most important states on the map this midterm cycle.Today, we follow Caleb Renner, a young farmer in north central Iowa, as he shows the effects of the past two years on his community and talks about why those effects may lead him to turn on the Republican Party for the first time, and whether that will translate into support for Democrats.Guest: Caleb Renner, a farmer in Klemme, Iowa.Background reading: Who’s winning the race for Congress?‘Survival Mode Time’: Republicans accelerate their break with Trump.Photo: KC McGinnis for The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

The Republican Strategy to Salvage the Midterms
With Republicans trailing in the polls, the party is making hard choices about where to spend its money — abandoning some races while pouring resources into others.Shane Goldmacher, Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Lisa Lerer, political correspondents for The New York Times, explain why President Trump is campaigning almost daily in deep-red territory, how his influence is shaping the strategy and whether Democrats can win over the disenchanted voters they may need to take back the House and the Senate.Guests: Shane Goldmacher, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.Background reading: Economic pain and an unpopular Trump have put the G.O.P. on its heels.Top Republican groups are pulling support from two House incumbents.Photo: Kenny Holston/The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

The U.S. Tried to Choke Russia’s Energy Market. Then It Made a Diesel Deal.
President Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel fuel and temporarily suspended sanctions in an effort to lower domestic fuel prices amid rising costs from the war in Iran and in anticipation of the upcoming midterms. This abrupt foreign policy shift stunned European allies and drew sharp criticism from Ukraine, which viewed the move as a weakening of Western leverage against Russia.Today, Anton Troianovski, a global affairs correspondent for The New York Times, discusses what the deal reveals about the Trump administration’s strategy with Russia, and how much it could actually lower prices at the pump.Guest: Anton Troianovski, a global affairs correspondent for The New York Times who writes about foreign policy, national security and America’s place in the world.Background reading: Trump faces a new crisis over Ukraine following the Russian diesel deal.Photo: Igor Grussak/picture alliance via Getty ImagesFor more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

Mathematicians’ Latest Problem: What if A.I. Can Do Our Job?

The Israeli Film Directors Pushing for a Reckoning in Their Home Country
The documentary film “NAZA,” which investigates the methods the Israeli military has used in the war in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, received a record-breaking standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival last month. Just a few days later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would propose legislation that could revoke the directors’ Israeli citizenship, arguing that they had defamed their country.Now, with a global theatrical release underway, the directors spoke with “The Daily” to discuss the film and all the pushback that it — and they — have experienced.Guest: Rachel Szor, an Israeli investigative journalist, film director and activist.Yuval Abraham, an Israeli investigative journalist, film director and Arabic-Hebrew translator.Background reading: After accolades abroad, “NAZA” met backlash at home.Read The Times’s review of the film.Photo: Stefano Rellandini/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images, The Guardian/IFC Center, Ander Gillenea/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
