| 0:04.6 | Hi, I'm Molly JongFast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds. |
| 0:13.2 | And a majority of Americans have a negative view of billionaires spending more money to buy elections according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. |
| 0:22.0 | We have such a great show for you today. |
| 0:24.1 | Author of Evil Geniuses, Kurt Anderson stops by to talk about Trump saying the Democrats |
