It's the latest monthly Molly mashup where Molly Jong Fast of Fast Politics fires legal inquiries at Harry, and Harry counters with political questions.  The two trade vantage points on the Qatari "Palace in the Sky," with Harry explaining its illegality and Molly its political inanity. They move on to the pasting Trump is getting in the courts, and Molly's sense of his quickly declining popularity. Molly explains why Dems are likely to take the House in the midterms.  And both concur that as damaging as the first few months have been, his chance at actually replacing our constitutional democracy with an authoritarian state has passed him by.  Lots more besides!

This is a free preview of a paid episode.

Like, none of this works, right? The math on this does not work.”The two of them also address the deficiencies in the modern, cautious, elderly Democratic Party. “The fundamental problem with Democrats, and this is not all of them, but with the older generation, is they can't get online,” argues Molly. “They can't do a Substack.”She believes the next Democratic presidential candidate has to be a master of messaging and has to be “someone who is gonna go out and do every interview and every podcast.”If you're a paid subscriber, please do watch the full 20-minute conversation above to hear Mehdi and Molly Jong-Fast's fun and passionate political discussion, in which they also tackle the failures of the mainstream media and Molly gives her prediction as to which Trump sycophant in his current cabinet will be fired soon and then write a tell-all book.

It's Daylight Savings and we are alternately miserable and happy about it. Which is a good reflection of the books we've read this week. We love them and not! Here's what's on the agenda: - "Wild Dark Shore," by Charlotte McConaghy — if you like one of her books, you're going to like this one. Hannah's a big fan. Nevermind the sleeping with the seals.  - "A Thousand Splendid Suns," by Khaled Hosseini — also, like "The Kite Runner," not a memoir. Sam was confused. Kinda miserable. Hope the U.S. doesn't wind up like this.  - "Lion," by Sonya Walger — she's "Penny" from "Lost," and here she is with an autobiographical novel. The lion in question is her father, who's a crazy rich guy.  - "How To Lose Your Mother," by Molly Jong-Fast — did everyone else know that Erica Jong was Molly's mom? Read this, regardless, because Molly can write like hell.  - "I Heard There Was a Secret Chord," by Daniel Levitin — an exploration of music therapy and why it works. Sam was already a convert, but you should read it if you're not.  - "Parable of the Sower," by Octavia Butler — after some confusion with how this dovetails with the Patternist novels (it doesn't), we come around to discussion why this novel is must-read. 

We open with another piece of information that reveals the UK was aware of the Wuhan lab leak in 2020. That means all of the Western World along with China conspired to keep the truth from the world. The Autopen issue just hit a new snag. Seems the J6 Reality TV Show folks got their pre-emptive pardons on a day when President Biden was no where close to Washington, D.C. Three female administrators at a middle school barricaded the doors to the girls locker room, forcing the girls to have to change in front of yet another confused boy. This goes beyond simple Transgenderism into borderline sexual assault. Border Czar Tom Homan suggests the Pope should work on fixing issues with the Catholic Church while he focuses on the border and public safety. As a group of TdA gang members/terrorists is flown to El Salvador to face prison, another activist judge wants to protect the rights of those animals over Americans. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) as spokesperson for the DNC says they are squarely in the camp of being pro-illegal/pro-terrorist rather than America First. We once again give you another moment to digest some comments from the original DOGE team. This time we hear from Joe Biden and how much waste is found in Social Security and other entitlements. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has no functioning brain. He tried to make a point by comparing the fixed incomes of those on Social Security to the government signed contracts Elon Musk has with the U.S. government. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was on Face the Nation Sunday, once again putting the empty-headed Margaret Brennen in her place, first on Trump's decision to take away the Houthi terrorists ability to harm shipping lanes, followed by the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil. As fellow independent broadcaster Erin Molan recently said on 69X Minutes, look how much energy the Democrats are putting in defending a pro-terrorist green card holder, versus actual Americans who have been held hostage by Hamas terrorists for well over 500 days. Batya Ungar-Sargon was on with Bill Maher and explained why she is a MAGA lefty. While Maher was taking cheap shots, she was making phenomenal points. On the flipside, Leftists strategist Molly Jong-Fast was beclowining herself on MSNBC suggesting everyone loves Democrat policies. Well, that's not what the polling of both CNN and NBC finds. It's exactly the opposite. Let us remember that only 7% think Democrats are doing really well, which is the exact same percentage of adults who believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

In the wake of Senator Chuck Schumer's decision to advance a Republican Government funding bill, guest host Michael Steele delves into new poll numbers that may come as a wakeup call to complicit Democrats in Congress. Tim Miller and Molly Jong Fast join to discuss the fallout over Schumer's approach and why Democratic voters want the party the fight back harder against Trump's drastic actions. As Republicans cower and hide from angry constituents, Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin joins to discuss how Democrats can capitalize on voter discontent.

Molly meanwhile seeks to understand whether some of Musk's crazier antics are legal and how they could be challenged. And that's just the beginning!
