New Episide of The Fifth Column Features Anthony L. Fisher on Muhammad Ali's Anti-War Legacy, and So Much More
Also, Michael Moynihan and Matt Welch talk about what it's like to be among the clapping seals in the audience of Real Time with Bill Maher.

On this week's episode of the only podcast you will ever need — The Fifth Column — Kmele Foster, former Reasoner Michael C. Moynihan, and Reason magazine editor-in-chief Matt Welch were gracious enough to invite me back on to kick around such various topics as Donald Trump getting called out (but not disowned) by Republican bigwigs for his overt racism, Bernie Sanders being accused of misogyny by a New York Times reporter, and the latest edition of #SomeIdiotWroteThis. Plus, Moynihan and Welch give us an inside peak at what it's like to be a guest (and how hard it is to make a cogent point) on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Stick around for the end when Foster takes me to task for what he claims was my "whitewashing" of Muhammad Ali's legacy. Suffice to say, I don't take the critique lying down. But this is a great example of why The Fifth Column is worth your time — it's not an echo chamber or a back-slapping confab of the like-minded — mixing it up is the name of the game.

Welch says that Maher is an enjoyable show and then goes on to describe exactly every way the show is not in the least enjoyable to anyone not a total statist.
Eh, sounded to me like he enjoys it mostly because of all the bribes they throw at him for agreeing to be a guest.
I'm going off where he says he watches the show from time to time.
Fair point.
Free Deadwood boxsets in the green rooms?
Kmele reads the comments! Swoon.
He's just like us!
"...more classically Marxist than anything else, and I have some sympathy for that..."

INTENTIONS MATTER!!!!
THE ELIPSIS RUINS THE CONTEXT!
I like the podcast. It's made its way into the rotation. But you three are smug even by libertarian standards.
Something something cocktail parties.
It's just a little rich to hear them ragging on David French for his supposed presidential run. Come on, have a little humility. You're libertarians, the GOP's little brother.
I resent the implication.
Also, Michael Moynihan and Matt Welch talk about what it's like to be among the clapping seals in the audience of Real Time with Bill Maher.
USA! USA!
Kmele: You don't sound sick, Matt.
Moynihan: And you can't hear HPV.
Win.

As usual, excellent podcast. I really have nothing more to say about it.
