MS NOW's Jen Psaki kicked off Thursday night's edition of "The Briefing" by ruthlessly mocking the House GOP's latest rebranding attempt to try to stave off defeat in November.

"It seems like little Mike Johnson has finally, finally settled on his pitch for the midterms," said Psaki. "He has managed to boil it all down to one simple message."

"House Republicans continue to deliver for the American people," said Johnson in a clip. "We will continue to do that for the remainder of the year, and that is a large reason why we are going to win the midterms, so that the grown-ups can stay in charge here."....

"I think Ukraine, militarily, they're defeated," said Trump. "Okay, you wouldn't know that by reading the fake news, but militarily, look, their navy, so they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. They have no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft apparatus other than what they may have put there — they may have brought in some light stuff during the ceasefire."

"Ukraine is defeated," said Psaki. "That's what he said. All their ships are underwater. Think you mean Iran? Their pal Iran. See, Donald Trump doesn't even know which war he's talking about."

"So I'm going to put this in terms I think he can probably understand," said Psaki. "Donald Trump started a war with Iran. That war with Iran has made the price of gas go up. And gas is the thing that makes cars go zoom. Got it? And thanks to the war Trump started with Iran, Americans have spent the last two months watching the price at the pump climb higher and higher."
