This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hi, I'm Molly JongFast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds.

And House Speaker Johnson says there's no path for a third Trump term.

Oh, wow.

Is he allowed to say that?

We have such a great show for you today

as the world churns Andy Levy steps by to talk about Trump's plan to distract and also to destroy

America. Then we'll talk to Senator Ed Markey about the government shutdown and its costs to the

So there was a GOP conference call this afternoon.

They did this call because in case you're wondering, they are not in session. That's right. They are out of session as they have been for almost a month of business days, not in session.

Republicans are saying they won't come to the table.
