206 w/ Damon Root "Packed Courts, Peaceful Transfers of Power"

NOTE: This dispatch was beleaguered by technical and logistical challenges. The audio actually turned out pretty good (all things considered), but the entire thing was very nearly scrapped. Those challenges contributed to a delayed-release — and because the world has gone quite mad —the news cycle is evolving rapidly.&nbsp; All the same, still lots of very relevant (even prophetic) stuff in this dispatch, but it was recorded before the Breonna Taylor Grand Jury announcement that inspired a night of protests, riots, and violence.&nbsp; <ul><li>Home Improvement</li><li>Latinx, Things You Must Know About The Cuban</li><li>Trust the Process</li><li>Debate Preview</li><li>RBG</li><li>Hypocrisy and Norm Evisceration</li><li>Who to Blame</li><li>A Loss of Faith, A Looming Election Hellscape</li><li>About that TikTok Deal</li><li>We Choose Violence</li><li>1619 Lies, Bullshit, Stealth Edits, Motivated Reasoning</li><li>If The Schools Already Suck, Can 1619 Make Them Worse (or better)</li><li>National Patriotism Curriculum</li><li>All My Critics Are Racist, Which Is Terribly Convenient for Me</li></ul> Recorded Sept 20, 2020Published Sept 24, 2020

205 “If You're Reading This, It's Too Late”

Analysis, Commentary, Sedition. @wethefifth

From their enclave in midtown Manhattan, Michael Moynihan (Vice), Matt Welch (Reason), and Kmele Foster (Freethink) dissect the news, interrogate guests, and question just about everything. The topics are broad, the insights are deep, and the jokes are off color. Reform the system, or burn it to the ground? They discuss... @wethefifth www.wethefifth.com
