Rick Wilson on Trump's NEW Billion Dollar Bribe Scheme - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast
Rick Wilson and Molly discuss the surreal state of American politics, highlighting what they describe as Trump’s self-serving foreign policy fantasies and authoritarian tendencies—from his so-called “Board of Peace” scheme to his renewed interest in Venezuela and Iran.
They touch on the disturbing militarization of immigration enforcement, particularly the ICE-related abuses in Minnesota, and express frustration with both Republican complicity and Democratic cowardice. The conversation paints a bleak picture of how corruption, fear, and performative leadership are destabilizing democratic institutions, while also commending citizen-led resistance and grassroots action as a powerful counterforce. - 01/18/2026.
