| 0:04.6 | Hi, I'm Molly JongFast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discussed the top political headlines with some of today's best minds. |
| 0:13.4 | And President Trump warned Judge Alito that he could end up like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and die on the bench if he doesn't |
| 0:23.6 | do what's right for the country. Wow. Donald Trump having a day. We have such a great show for you |
| 0:29.8 | today. To the contrary zone, Charlie Sykes stops by to talk about J.D. Bance's presidential |
| 0:35.8 | aspiration, just slowly disappearing. Then we'll talk to |
| 0:41.9 | Congressman Jared Moskowitz about former A.G. Bondi, refusing to show up to congressional hearings. |
| 0:48.3 | But first, the news. Somali, one of the things that usually fuels the economy in this time of year |

| 1:28.3 | managers are saying that their compensation is tips. Yeah, that's what the giveaway was, is that |
| 1:34.3 | Goldman Sachs lobbied for this. Right. Exactly. So this will all come out in the wash as to whether or not |
| 1:40.9 | this was brilliant, progressive legislation or Donald Trump doing crazy |
| 1:46.3 | cronyism. So let's stay tuned on what this is. But I think the point of it is that they have |
