YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Following Stephen Colbert's interview with former President Barack Obama, Jen Psaki shares insights from her years working with Obama on how the former president calibrates how much to get involved in the political news cycle while staying deferential to the Democratic luminaries who are the future of the party.

Also in this week's episode, JD Vance extended his awkward losing streak by losing his place in a speech in support of a Republican congressional candidate in Iowa and Marco Rubio fails to impress in the briefing room. And Jen celebrates the Pulitzer Prize for Hannah Natanson, the Washington Post reporter whose well-sourced reporting on the radical reductions in the federal workforce under Trump led to FBI agents raiding her home.
