Always look forward to Monday’s show with Molly and Rick together. Great chemistry. Would love to see them back together in a joint podcast more than once a week.

This is one of the few podcasts a person from the lower 93% can relate to. Comment about Molly’s question, “Why are people so mad at the Democrats?” I left the party about 40 years ago and became an Independent and am in the Bernie camp for 2 reasons: 1) The Democrats would proclaim they couldn’t do r-z, not possible in our system of government, and along come the Republicans and not only do r-z but just about anything they want, or at least they try. 2) The Democratic party is married to old school thinking and the leadership will NOT give younger, popular politicians the support they need. I am an older American myself, but it is long past the time to pass the torch to younger leadership. And in addition, many citizens do not want our country aiding and funding wars and genocide in other countries to make tons of money in the USA. It is past time to end the war industrial complex, just like it was past time to end slavery. Can’t the USA take care of its people without using others and the earth as though it was fodder and all expendable? Thanks for informative podcast.

Molly & friends have moved too far right. She admitted this in like May, that she’s moved right. This pod is nothing more than an extension of Republican-led media, made evident by the guest list (literal GOP operatives), how she talks about people (like Snyder), and qualifies guest appearances (like, Molly saying “I don’t like Newsom at all” to Andy, a GenX moderate at best, prior to playing that interview, psychologically priming the audience to not take Newsom in good faith). All of this trashing the left is made clear by the shows sponsors: Trump ads during the election and now I’m getting ICE Barbie self-deportation ads in Spanish. My neighborhood is mainly Spanish-language immigrants, so those ads are targeted to them at their homes; it was one thing to take money out of the trump war chest but to target our communities, telling them to leave… that’s a moral failure. Molly has become a line-towing Republican LARPing as a feminist progressive, and this media arm is in service to destroying the Democratic platform by undermining our people, principles, and values. Sashay Away.

Good lord. Great show but the commercials are out of control. Depending on where I am I get 3 minutes of random commercials to start, or the same Spanish language Christy Noem threat message literally 4-6 times in the same episode.

I’ve been listening to Molly John Fast since she started her podcast with Rick Wilson. She’s entertaining, super smart, and has really great guests. So glad this is on multiple a days a week, it really is a must listen for me.

8/19: Happy Birthday, Molly!! Always enjoy your work and especially love it when you and Rick Wilson share a good chat. Both fun and informative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d seen Molly Jong-Fast on MSNBC and liked her commentary so I thought I’d give her podcast a spin. I am beyond impressed! Molly is easy to listen to, funny, irreverent and very informative. Her guests are top notch, have in-depth knowledge about the news and have experience in varied backgrounds. The podcast comes out 4x a week so every episode is extremely topical. Fast Politics has quickly become one of my all time favorites.

are not scared, they are power hungry

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.

The amount of ads. Far surpass that of any other pod.

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.

I just started listening and I love this show. Can’t wait till the next episode.

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.

Sorry E Jean…the south does listen to Fast Politics ;)

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.

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.

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.

Molly: Please have your guests provided details and example of their statements. Please challenge them so your listeners gain a better understanding. Drill down!

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.

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.

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

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”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I listen to almost each episode and enjoy it greatly

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!!

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

Love you, love the show. I only wish we didn’t have to hear AI rush Limbaugh. Xoxo JDA

I look forward to every podcast. You’re a lifeline in these terrible times. Melissa Wanamaker in East Quogue, NY

Please consider a different advertiser. The Rush Limbaugh voice for AI triggers PTSD

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.

Thank you for giving us insight and hope that we need so badly

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 wouldn’t support Vance because he is not planning to leave

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.

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

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

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

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

Now he maybe my favorite famous person. What a fantastic , but all too short, show. Absolutely brilliant.

Keep the truth out there for us and this IS NOT NORMAL

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow — the best podcast — zero competition. Insightful. Fun. Rockstar. I’m a political/Social Media professional who is constantly impressed.

Hard to listen.

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.

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

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.
