Newsom's border comments and authenticity risk

The Hacks convene to sum up a year of very normal politics. The guys dive into Indiana Republicans’ rebuke of Trump’s redistricting plan, the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, rising health-care premiums headed into 2026, the state of the Trump economy, and what it all means for 2026 and beyond.

From our Hacks on Tap family to yours, thank you for another year, and we wish you a happy holiday season and a healthy new year.
