Summary

This week, Mike Murphy is hacking—and not in the good, political way, but in the coughing-his-lungs-out way—so the heroic John Heilemann swoops in to save the day and join David! The Hacks are joined by legendary journalist, author, former RFK speechwriter, and all-around wise guy Jeff Greenfield to break down the Wisconsin Supreme Court showdown, Trump’s third-act trolling, RFK Jr. (the bizarro version), authoritarian antics, tariffs, tax cuts, and much more.

0:46.5

It's like an old-fashioned word, is that?

0:48.7

There you go. He's honestly, John Heilman, he seemed bewildered by the suggestion and almost took it as an insult it felt like.
