0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Molly JongFast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds. |
0:09.0 | And Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, says Trump's foreign policy largely coincides with our vision. |
0:15.6 | Really? I'm shocked. We have such a great show for you today. The Lincoln Project Zone, Rick Wilson, joins us to discuss Elon Musk's actual motives for hanging around the Capitol constantly. |
0:29.3 | Mo and Molly, we're going to have a special excerpt from our YouTube channel with former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, |
0:34.5 | and he's going to tell us all about why Trump's economic moves are going to go very, very badly for him. |
