| 0:04.5 | Hi, I'm Molly JongFast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds. |
| 0:13.4 | And now we're tied for the most House Republicans retiring in a century, along with the most Senate Republicans retiring in one cycle. |
| 0:24.1 | But why? It's a mystery. We have such a great show for you today. The Lincoln Project Zone. |
| 0:28.9 | Rick Wilson joins us to discuss Trump finally having to fire officials in the administration. |
