And frustrated with dems inability to act. Molly - I appreciate you defending them and how they manage the news climate. However, I should be hearing from Diana DeGette every day and I don’t. These dems should start getting worried their constituents will run against them. We have how many reps in the house? No excuse for the silence. Everyone has a platform and they refuse to use it. Stand up or get replaced.

Love this show.
The amount of ads. Far surpass that of any other pod.

Bitterness
I’d love to give 5 stars, but the continued snarling at Tim Snyder (unnamed but clear by reference) episode truly vile. He has explained, he has continued to speak around the States, and basically deserves better. It’s cringe inducing, if nothing else. It’s beneath Molly, truly.

Put Russ Vought In Trauma
Love the show. Would love to see you do a regular segment on how Dems have put/should put Russ Vought in trauma every day. He’s putting many people in my life in serious trauma (as he promised in Project 2025), but apparently no Dem voters or reps are devoting any energy to giving him a fraction of what he is inflicting on us. My TBI Iraq War vet cousin lost his job AND they’ve cut TBI specialists so much that all vets w/in 3 hour radius now have drastic waits. I would literally give a pint of blood daily for someone, anyone, in any way to traumatize this underwear skid mark in human form every day. At minimum, he should have to move houses as often as Sandy Hook parents were forced to do b/c of conspiracy nuts.

Colonel Bree Fam
Excellent & very informative interview of history of important & impactful contributions of “now banned” persons to strength of military from Revolutionary War to present. List includes women, native Americans, African-Americans i.e. Tuskegee Airmen, Navajo code talkers. Where would we be without them ? He adds how his forced resignation shocked & affected his Space Force group & mission. What a loss and waste of talented people who only want to serve the country.

Times Best Seller
I thoroughly enjoy your podcast; it is one of the best out there, but I am writing about your book as a teenager in the 70s. I discovered your mom’s book and Franny Hill hidden in my mom’s closet. Those books opened my eyes. It saddens me to think of Erica John, a beautiful storyteller and truth-teller possibly losing her mind My dad experienced something similar. and it was heartbreaking. I lost a lot of my older family members and my brother during Covid, one hit after another. Since then, as I’ve struggled to recognize my country and its people, I’ve sealed part of myself off because the continual hurt was just too exhausting. Your book, beautifully written and full of truth, touched a part of my soul I thought it was lost. It allowed me to forgive myself about my dad and grieve his life rather than just resenting his death. Perhaps it’s time to emerge from my cocoon, to feel the pain and chaos out there, and to figure out how I can help so that regret isn’t the only emotion left behind.

Mayor of LA
I don’t think the citizens of LA are concerned about the World Cup at this time. The protests are a disorganized mess. You need help with organizers. Kohll indivisible.

Cognitive Decline
Thank you Rick Wilson and Molly for discussing Trump’s obvious cognitive decline. If Biden’s old age, his stuttering disability, and his cancer diagnosis are worth bringing up after the fact, it’s extremely important to constantly and relentlessly point out the current president’s mental illnesses, his criminality, and his ever present worsening cognitive decline. Please point out how unfit T is for his office. His severe personality disorder with psychopathic tendencies causes him to be a dangerous, sadistic, predator, who cannot control his impulsivity, his drive to always dominate and his inability to feel shame, guilt, love, or empathy.

Katie was great as always Dahlia sounded like a valley girl!
Is “like” the new “ya know”? I couldn’t listen to Dahlia she was so annoying and sounded like a teenager not a knowledgeable adult.

No Somalis!
The guy at the beginning always says Somali, but there have been no Somalis on the show… Disappointing to say the least!

Less lefty?
Less lefty because of your privilege? Yikes…not what I expected to hear. A bit shocked & disappointed to learn that privilege you experienced makes you “less lefty”
Definitely- Maybe-
Stands up to politicians
I really appreciate Molly calling out politicians for talking a lot but not saying anything, the way she did on the Jocelyn Benson episode. I’ve never heard anyone do that directly in conversation before, but it was so refreshing! Hopefully they take the feedback to heart.

MY DREAM TEAM
Molly, Rick, AND JESSE!?! I missed you all so much. I stopped listening to the Daily Beast Pod when y’all left and became a Bulwark Plus person. But this group is my OG favorites that saved my political/entertainment life during Covid. Molly and Rick have the best chemistry and are my number one plutonic podcasting couple. OH, HOW I MISSED YOU ❤️. So happy to have found you all again.

Great Interviews
Molly has an excellent variety of guests who provide insight into many aspects of our evolving political & economic situation. She asks insightful questions & I like the addition of the front loaded news with Jesse.

Exceptional Guests
Molly has amazing guests and people who know so much of the inner workings of government. I have learned so much since listening and look forward to many more informative podcasts.

The mid-conversation switch CNN to YouTube is annoying.
This was a favorite podcast for me, but now that it cuts off mid word, I’m not going to YouTube, I’m just stopping in annoyance. Be one place or the other, but stop with the bait and switch.

New Change is Not So Good
Despite my rating, I love Fast Politics. However, there has been a recent change that bothers me. The change in question is that some interviews are cut short on the podcast and we are now directed to the YouTube channel in order to hear the full interview. That bothers me. I believe this to be a money making decision and everyone has the right, and should be able, to make money, but there has to be a better way. I do not understand the workings of Apple Podcasts or YouTube, but I would prefer longer podcast episodes with less guests if the length of the episodes needs to hit a target. I'm even okay with that and adding more episodes to hit the specific number of interviews. I just hate the new truncated interviews.

Don’t do us like That!!
I’m a subscriber and faithful listener, but all of a sudden you’ve started doing something I hate! Finish the blankety-blank interview IN THE PODCAST! I don’t want to follow you over to bleeping YouTube when I’m driving or walking the dogs or doing my bookkeeping! I want to listen to, like, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW. I hate this bait and switch so much I may stop following you!!

Used to really enjoy
The show is just an echo chamber. No diversity of thought. It’s a bummer because it used to be so good.

She’s out there
A malcontent far leftist who brings on other idiotic malcontent whiny leftists; what more could you ask for? It is almost funny listening to it. I don’t know how they can speak through their pacifiers.

My favorite political podcast
Love this podcast. Molly JF had a great sense of humor while dealing directly with the most challenging issues facing our country right now. Her guests are top notch! I am always anxious for the next episode.

Trump will not leave this time
Trump wouldn’t support Vance because he is not planning to leave

Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank thinks that the majority of voters are policy wonks/pundits like he & his cronies. He’s dead wrong. No mention of the blatant racism of so many whites in America who have been convinced that brown people will overtake them & treat them as badly as they have been treated. And all the lies. Since LBJ, southern whites have vowed to vote against the Democrats. Talk about being elite & not realizing it.

Decent content, bad delivery.
I find it hard to focus on the content, which I generally agree with, because Molly‘s voice is an assault on my ears.

Keeps us sane
Molly’s podcast was the first thing I could listen to after 11/5. I have otherwise stopped watching MSM.

Love Molly
I just wish she didn’t get so depressed all the time. I love Mondays with Rick Wilson.

12.25.24 episode
That’s not the John Ganz who wrote when the clock broke. The writer is American and the guy on the 12.24 episode does not speak in an American accent

Love you Molly…but
Forcing federal workers back into an office or risk getting fired is no big deal to you Molly? These people are not married to venture capitalist. Not only are their livelihoods at stake, but so is their mental health. America doesn’t deserve federal workers.

Love it
Rick and Molly together is fun and educational! Love Charlie Sykes

Not addressing the problems.
How about we talk about what caused the red wave? Let’s quit pretending that the hatred for Trump is enough to run a country please. Democrats need solutions and not validation for the same things that’s aren’t working. Let’s start by quitting the constant judging and silencing those with opposing views.
I’m gonna say it
Cranky old woman
Molly, please please keep podcasting. Hope is elusive right now. Also a word from Rick Wilson. I miss him
C.A. O.
Disagree
Democrats have to fight lies. Harris offered tax credits for home buyers & first time parents 45 talked about eating pets. Americans are not ready for a woman president. Racism & misogyny are alive & well in our country. 45 appeals to their worst feelings. It’s a sad commentary on America. How can citizens vote for someone with such a horrible disposition? He won’t do a thing for them.

Molly I love your podcast and I NEVER thought you told us that Kamala was definitely going to win. In fact I totally felt your angst and worry about the election! Keep fighting the good fight

I love your podcast.
I just started listening in august, and haven’t missed an episode since. I share your views on politics, especially with regard to women’s healthcare. I was a Nurse practitioner for 20 years, and did a lot of routine women’s care. Planned parenthood is mostly staffed by NP’s. I have known many NP involved in reproductive healthcare and serve in underserved areas. I wanted you to know that I have had past experience both providing care as well as receiving it. I am so frustrated with the state of women’s healthcare now. I’m no longer working(on disability for Lyme) but the stories I have heard about women having miscarriages and dying of sepsis bring me to tears. First of all Doing a procedure to complete a miscarriage is NOT an abortion. What do they accomplish by waiting to do the procedure. Even if there is still a heart beat there comes a time when providers know the baby will not survive. If men got pregnant we would not be having this discussion. And, do not get me started on methypriwtone. What judge knows more about pharmacology than the FDA. If that trend continues and judges start pulling drugs off the market our healthcare system is in trouble. Again if it were a drug for men such as viagra this would not be happening. I’m sorry this is long but I am very passionate about this. I thought women’s rights had made progress, but with 2 supreme court justices who are abusers it’s obvious nothing has changed when it comes to our bodies and women’s health. The woman who accused Kavanaugh was not treated any better than Anita Hill. I could go on but I’ll end here My name is Molly. I'm 64 and when I was young the only others named Molly were dogs. I just heard you mention that and I LOL’d. I was sad I could Never get a License plate with my name for my bike.

Def cringe worthy materiali
Very immature…in an annoying way…just dumb opinion if you ask me, with bad personalities. I don’t like to cringe so much…if you do, you’re at the right place. My ears hurt.

Take His Money - All Of It
I was listening to the episode airing 10/30/2024 when I thought I was having a stroke. Not one, but TWO Trump ads aired! Sneakers! Watches! Normally I’d feel ill, but then I realized how much money Molly & Company are taking from the Orange Mussolini and I felt pure joy. Hahahaha keep practicing capitalism on the capitalists and use it to take him down for good.
