- Molly Jong-Fast, special correspondent for Vanity Fair and host of the Fast Politics podcast joins us for a wide ranging conversation covering Congress, abortion, the protests happening around the country and the Presidential election. She also discusses the ongoing Trump hush money scandal happening in NYC. She says the trial is "over-delivering," which could mean a guilty verdict for Trump.

Thank God you're still out there fighting, Al!
I told myself no politics first thing this morning. So, right after these two explain things to me. I love these conversations
Anxiety is killing us. 9 yrs. Time for participation. Love and peace , not fear, in Nov. Believe, all.
You don’t need to worry about the election. You need to worry about what happens AFTER the election. Good luck !🐾🇩🇰❤
Thanks Al, Thanks Molly...I just pissed myself. OMG were in trouble.
That's the reason why the former president wears adult diapers
Free breakfasts and lunches for school kids are very important because, for some, it may be the best meal they have all day.
Molly's the best
The fact the electoral college has not been eliminated by now, is absolutely bizarre to me. I feel like our country can't really move forward until this is addressed.
Why is having compassion for the people in this country so controversial?
I'll take a shot. The billionaire class that runs the GOP (and many of the Democrats too) wants to keep voters divided, so they can advance their interests.
Compassion is only controversial for republicans.
Good show Al. I love Molly. And you too my friend. 🙏🏻💕🌾
We barely held on to our democracy in 2020 but we did do it. Let's make sure it is held onto in 2024 by showing up in numbers that cannot be denied by any republican candidate and making it clear that the U.S.A. will remain the benchmark across the free world of a vibrant and clear democracy. Then we need to work on getting rid of the outdated Electoral College system that caused the disaster of GW Bush and the orange Mussolini.
Outside agitators? During the Vietnam era, I was not enrolled in a college so I went to a college to protest because that's where the protests were. I did not consider myself an "outside agitator".
From what I've read there were outside organizations showing up, not just individuals showing up to support. Perhaps giving everyone their own public squares via the Internet has unintended consequences. The word cacophony seems to apply.
Molly is F - ing great.
Yes, she truly is prescient & a member of the intelligentsia.
Thank You!
Great Conversation!
I heart Molly.
Strictly as a hypothetical: Could a president with immunity, have two or three Supreme Court justices liquidated for the purpose of changing the political balance of the Court? 🤷🏼
I love Molly and you two are really good together. You should have her on more often, Al.
Al: "He [De Santis] ran a great campaign." I laughed fit to bust a gut!
Why doesn’t Melania get a sweater out for Donny so he can be warm at his trial with Judge Merchan?
Molly and You (Al) are THE BEST! Thank You!
Best podcast EVER by Al Franken & Molly Jong-Fast
Great podcast ❤
Great show!
Nice one, for a change. Thanks everyone.
So happy that Apple Watch can track my cycle. No way will Apple ever give that data to state's AG.
I really like Molly Jong-Fast. She's great!
Alito & Thomas need to be impeached.
Trump: 'I'm coming for your gardeners, nannies, farm workers, janitors...and I will lock them up till they can be deported.'
Republicans: 'Yeah, Trump will fix...Wait? What?!?'
The power to run the incubators was cut off....
There seems to be a slight shift in some of our Republican representatives total support for Trump lately. The passage of the budget for Ukraine aid as an example. Could you interview a historian that can explain how in the 50's, Joe McCarthy's strangle hold of the senate, began to slide, and how that might look in today's era of Trump?
Maybe rump can borrow a sweater vest from George Santos 💩💩
Haha!
Biden has to make a decision about the war in Israel. This war could cost him the election in November. If Trump wins , we're toast.
Al , it is always a pleasure to listen to you and your guests.
Thank you for a great podcast.
Newspapers put too much content behind paywalls. It should count as political contributions.
EXACT opposite! Hamas accepted the ceasefire, but Netty rejected it!
Donald Trump doesn't have a sense of humor. That was not a joke, he means exactly what he said.
What is the difference between disorganized government, organised crime, and cash for "legal" not legitimate comment, same profit motive?
Did Al get any evidence on NYPD claim regarding outsiders arrested?
Names? Or just forwarding the press release of the notoriously dishonest NYPD PR?
A sweater vest would not cover Trump’s tie. You would be able to see the tip of the tie peaking from under the waist band.
Graduations are in the evening.

Does the comment that our economy is strong because of immigration in the context of talking about illegal immigration show that the point of guest workers is low wages?
If your looking for one simple answer your going to be disappointed
My friends who own small businesses are MAGA and hire undocumented workers. They say they "have to" to stay in business. Lower wages, no payroll taxes, no benefits, no law suits, pure greed. One way to think about immigration is that it costs about $250K on average to raise a child in USA. With immigration, we get workers/taxpayers for free. The equation is even better for foreign students who pay full price for college.
The point is that immigrants do the work that most Americans won’t… look around and see who does the service work as in lawn maintenance, housecleaning, painting, and some skilled repair as in electrical and handyman… all immigrants. They work hard and are polite. I see almost no “Americans…”
71st!
The joke was the only the first day part.
I remember the wingnuts at the gym would hear Hillary on the tube and would say"how would you like to hear that for four years?" That laugh ain't helping ya'll😅
he could wear long johns. don't care. really
no that's not right .. we are giving ukraine old stockpiled weapons & supplies that we will replace with new ones here .. the weapons sent to israel are new modern advanced & high tech also built in america .. facts matter !!
Dilation and Cutelage
Oh boy al was on campus during protest, yea the little guy hiding way in the back. I was on a navy destroyer, avoiding the army and nam, as my older brothe r was almost killed. Our protest against the war made the "lifers" uncomfortable and they were our bosses. Love watching the right tear themselves apart. YOU are creating the same on the left😢
Heartbreaking that you had nothing to say truth wise about Gaza-cide. Disappointed tremendously.
Al Al Al - very disappointed in you this time. You sound like a Kappo now when speaking about Israel .
Unrest? Done with you Al😮
GO VIKINGS AL💜 LOVE ME SOME MOLLY EVERY TIME! Smarts, class, & hope Biden wins or USA will go down the tubes. My town 85% trumpers, sucks. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
