Noah Rothman joins The Fifth Column to discuss how political violence gets rationalized, from Luigi Mangione and the healthcare “but…” to post-October 7 antisemitism and the broader habit of turning grievance into permission. His new book is Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America.

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.
