    She’s out there
    A malcontent far leftist who brings on other idiotic malcontent whiny leftists; what more could you ask for? It is almost funny listening to it. I don’t know how they can speak through their pacifiers.

    Gives me hope
    Thank you for giving us insight and hope that we need so badly

    My favorite political podcast
    Love this podcast. Molly JF had a great sense of humor while dealing directly with the most challenging issues facing our country right now. Her guests are top notch! I am always anxious for the next episode.

    Trump will not leave this time
    Trump wouldn’t support Vance because he is not planning to leave

    Thomas Frank
    Thomas Frank thinks that the majority of voters are policy wonks/pundits like he & his cronies. He’s dead wrong. No mention of the blatant racism of so many whites in America who have been convinced that brown people will overtake them & treat them as badly as they have been treated. And all the lies. Since LBJ, southern whites have vowed to vote against the Democrats. Talk about being elite & not realizing it.
  • Marbenmal
    Decent content, bad delivery.
    I find it hard to focus on the content, which I generally agree with, because Molly‘s voice is an assault on my ears.
  • Grape456
    Keeps us sane
    Molly’s podcast was the first thing I could listen to after 11/5. I have otherwise stopped watching MSM.
  • MMckennzie
    Love Molly
    I just wish she didn’t get so depressed all the time. I love Mondays with Rick Wilson.

    12.25.24 episode
    That’s not the John Ganz who wrote when the clock broke. The writer is American and the guy on the 12.24 episode does not speak in an American accent

    Follett is my Favorite Author
    Now he maybe my favorite famous person. What a fantastic , but all too short, show. Absolutely brilliant.

    Great podcast
    Keep the truth out there for us and this IS NOT NORMAL

    J Edgar Hoover vs Kash Patel
    Given the choice between J. Edgar Hoover OR Kash Patel as FBI Dir., I’d pick Hoover everyday of the week.
  • Thisisafakenameftw
    too many commercials
    Hard to listen.
  • Le Fem Medic
    Love you Molly…but
    Forcing federal workers back into an office or risk getting fired is no big deal to you Molly? These people are not married to venture capitalist. Not only are their livelihoods at stake, but so is their mental health. America doesn’t deserve federal workers.
  • JLC5270
    Love it
    Rick and Molly together is fun and educational! Love Charlie Sykes
  • Me for heaven
    Not addressing the problems.
    How about we talk about what caused the red wave? Let’s quit pretending that the hatred for Trump is enough to run a country please. Democrats need solutions and not validation for the same things that’s aren’t working. Let’s start by quitting the constant judging and silencing those with opposing views.
  • C.A. O.
    Cranky old woman
    Molly, please please keep podcasting. Hope is elusive right now. Also a word from Rick Wilson. I miss him
  • Sucyvtddt
    Disagree
    Democrats have to fight lies. Harris offered tax credits for home buyers & first time parents 45 talked about eating pets. Americans are not ready for a woman president. Racism & misogyny are alive & well in our country. 45 appeals to their worst feelings. It’s a sad commentary on America. How can citizens vote for someone with such a horrible disposition? He won’t do a thing for them.

    Molly I love your podcast and I NEVER thought you told us that Kamala was definitely going to win. In fact I totally felt your angst and worry about the election! Keep fighting the good fight
  • molly dollyNP
    I love your podcast.
    I just started listening in august, and haven’t missed an episode since. I share your views on politics, especially with regard to women’s healthcare. I was a Nurse practitioner for 20 years, and did a lot of routine women’s care. Planned parenthood is mostly staffed by NP’s. I have known many NP involved in reproductive healthcare and serve in underserved areas. I wanted you to know that I have had past experience both providing care as well as receiving it. I am so frustrated with the state of women’s healthcare now. I’m no longer working(on disability for Lyme) but the stories I have heard about women having miscarriages and dying of sepsis bring me to tears. First of all Doing a procedure to complete a miscarriage is NOT an abortion. What do they accomplish by waiting to do the procedure. Even if there is still a heart beat there comes a time when providers know the baby will not survive. If men got pregnant we would not be having this discussion. And, do not get me started on methypriwtone. What judge knows more about pharmacology than the FDA. If that trend continues and judges start pulling drugs off the market our healthcare system is in trouble. Again if it were a drug for men such as viagra this would not be happening. I’m sorry this is long but I am very passionate about this. I thought women’s rights had made progress, but with 2 supreme court justices who are abusers it’s obvious nothing has changed when it comes to our bodies and women’s health. The woman who accused Kavanaugh was not treated any better than Anita Hill. I could go on but I’ll end here My name is Molly. I'm 64 and when I was young the only others named Molly were dogs. I just heard you mention that and I LOL’d. I was sad I could Never get a License plate with my name for my bike.

    Def cringe worthy materiali
    Very immature…in an annoying way…just dumb opinion if you ask me, with bad personalities. I don’t like to cringe so much…if you do, you’re at the right place. My ears hurt.

    Take His Money - All Of It
    I was listening to the episode airing 10/30/2024 when I thought I was having a stroke. Not one, but TWO Trump ads aired! Sneakers! Watches! Normally I’d feel ill, but then I realized how much money Molly & Company are taking from the Orange Mussolini and I felt pure joy. Hahahaha keep practicing capitalism on the capitalists and use it to take him down for good.
  • Szq115
    Trump commercials on your podcast, why?
    I listen to your podcast religiously so was very disappointed to hear trump commercials during breaks selling his golden sneakers and watches. Pls be more selective on who advertises on your podcast. Thanks
  • Dharma25
    Too many F-bombs
    I usually love this podcast. I’m not a prude but could do without all the F bombs from Molly!
  • athoughtbytim
    Great pod!
    Love the pod! You gotta do a better job of letting us know about Jesse Cannon’s bio! I had no idea he was a music marketing person!
  • sfncar
    “Unless somehow Harris can win this election”
    Sorry Molly, I’m done listening to your stupidity. What a thing to hear at 8:30 with my morning coffee. What in the world do you think you’re adding to the conversation? Please go find another job and stop talking from the ledge.
  • Richard Miami Beach
    Not Enough Commercials
    Great commercials but they are interrupted too often by the pesky host and guests yammering. You could easily fit in more advertising so why don’t you?

    Love Molly, hate the new format.
    I get the news 1 million places. I want to hear Molly‘s interviews.
  • grannyartemishappypanda
    Love you, but “pundits” has ONE “n”!
    I LOVE listening to your podcast. However! Could you puh-LEEZ learn to pronounce “pundits”? You guys, there is no second “n”. Pun-dits, not pun-dints! I flinch every time.
  • GladysNance
    Love Molly!
    Better without Rick—especially in the post-VP debate episode.
  • KO313
    Thumbs down for new format
    I like meeting members of Congress 2-3 times per week. That was unique. I can get the news anywhere. I do approve of more Jesse. Love Molly, but 3 times per week sufficed.
  • DionIrvine
    More Molly
    Yay more Molly! Love the show .
  • KathyDunwoody
    New Format
    Love the new format and look forward to your take on the news!
  • Linda Storms
    More of the best!
    Excited to tune in 4 times each week (especially Saturdays) Thanks for the brilliant content, Molly.
  • Taralainee
    Highly encouraging listen
    Just love Molly! She is entertaining and I usually feel better after a show. Great guests and important conversations! And excited for the new 4x a week format!💜😬
  • listener954
    Love all the voices! BUT
    I wish people— especially women— would change from “abortion rights” to the more accurate $ inclusive “women s health” or “women s reproductive rights.” Yes abortion has been made the focal point, but do not be deceived! This is about the control of women s body at a basic level which impacts our career choices, family choices, etc. Women —like men— in a democracy should be free to choose how they imagine their lives.

    Diving Deeper Into the Why if the GOP
    The explanation of how Project 2025 got its start decades ago by establishment Republicans is worth the listen. It’s eye opening to realize that Trump wasn’t the beginning of the “fall” of the GOP but rather the impetus that propelled the completion and “rise” to power sought relentlessly for decades. Full of details and names and actions by what could be called the real deep state. However, the only thing missing from this in-depth explanation is the unspoken motivations behind this GOP transformation. The GOP recognized the generational impact the rights that were opened to two huge voting demographics, women and minorities. And the credit for freedoms that would be felt for generations goes to Democrats and democracy. Bad news for a GOP future.
  • VAgrrl
    Please, Molly
    I appreciate and enjoy the guests on this pod, but please don’t interrupt the folks being interviewed. It’s a matter of manners and for those of us without the best hearing it’s a matter of comprehension.
  • AnneE!
    Love the show but
    I don’t like how Rick cuts Molly off ALL THE TIME. They are both smart and quick witted. Just wish she’d get equal time and he’d let her complete a sentence.
  • brad5star
    Everyone needs this
    So funny and insightful.
  • Lincoln Project fan friend
    Not just adultery, but criminal child sexual predation
    I love hearing Rick & Molly banter each week. Rick accurately described corrupt Evangelical leaders & adultery. It’s worse than that though. These twisted powerful leaders in this subculture are involved in criminal child sexual predation. Rape, sexual assault, and child porn comprise the crimes listed with the average of 2 NEW mugshots I repost EACH day on Twitter. Please call this what it is! I LOVE your banter.
  • davpt
    Can someone who works on this show
    Please tell Molly it’s pronounced MIF-e-pristone, not “meth-e-pristone”? Please.
  • Melanie from Georgia
    Request
    Love your podcast and listen to it every week. I am writing to request that you do a podcast on the current state of journalism. I feel that Trump is not being fact-checked as thoroughly as everyone else. This is quite troubling and we should be holding journalists to a higher standard. Thanks for your great work. Melanie from Mariettta, Georgia
  • K.Gallant
    tête-à-tête
    I really enjoy getting information in the format of an intimate conversation. Intelligent answers to well thought out questions and diverse topics with unique guests, on every episode. Molly has a way of having a deep conversation with each guest and it feels like we’re all just sitting around a bar, having a cocktail and sharing intimate secrets. Great podcast.

    Why did Sykes Say That? 02/08/24
    “Hey, from one crappy Jew to another, I guess.” …And he says he’s not jewish. Beyond crude. 5 stars for Molly
  • gigi11222
    Stuart Stevens
    Stuart Stevens is always the voice of reason. I regularly search for Stuart and will listen to him on any podcast or clip! Thanks, Molly, for a great interview with Stuart. I also wanted thought Biden could win and wanted him to stay in, so I’m very grateful that you gave a voice to this opinion (many refused to even acknowledge it) and showing it’s possible to provide full Harris campaign while being disappointed with the pundit and media treatment of Joe Biden.

    Horrible anti-white and anti- Christian
    Filled with sophomoric views on the world. This “lady” tries to stick with the mundane appeal of every other person towing the liberal-centric media. If you’re looking for a stimulating conversation don’t come to this podcast. You’ll likely feel less knowledgeable than you were in 5th grade after listening
