West Wing, Right Hook (with Jen Psaki)

June 17, 2026 · 54 min

Show notes

This week Axe and Heilemann were joined by political heavyweight and MS NOW’s Jen Psaki. The Hacks step into the octagon to break down Trump's 80th birthday UFC spectacle at the White House and the controversy that followed, the administration's shadowboxing over Iran, and whether the economy is headed for a knockout victory or headed to the mat. Okay, that's enough puns. They also discuss possible contenders for the next presidential ticket, whether sports can still bring Americans together, examine how Israel has become a growing point of tension for Democrats, and much more.
