After the failed shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the guys look at the strange rhetoric that followed: the familiar insistence that “violence is never the answer,” followed by an increasingly crowded “but.” They discuss bad manifestos, Epstein conspiracies, loose accusations of fascism, and the moral permission structures that turn political hysteria into something darker.

Hosted by journalists Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, The Fifth Column provides a weekly rhetorical assault on the news cycle, the people who make it, and occasionally themselves.
