But this week I invited her on because I wanted to talk to her, one former White House comm staffer to another, about how the Trump administration is trying to sell its war in Iran to the American people and how the media has covered it.

We also talked a bit about the midterms, including how important Democratic primaries in Maine, Michigan, and elsewhere are shaping the future of the party.

Here's my conversation with Jen Psaki.

Jen Psaki, welcome back to Pod Save America.

How are you?

Okay, we'll take that.

That's a caveated good in Donald Trump's America.

Yes.

There are always, I could talk to you anytime, and unfortunately, because we live on other sides of the country, we only get to talk to each other on podcasts mostly.

Yes, yes.

Please emphasize we're sold out for everyone to know.

There's always a good time to talk to Jen Psaki, but this is a particularly good time given what's happening in the world.
