The Fifth did a bit of processing today with our Trump-supporting friend at her Connecticut studio. Hungover, exhausted, bedraggled, the lads then returned to the scene of last nightâs Fifth-Free Press-Reason party and recorded this episode. They enjoyed it. And they suspect you will too.

Yet again, AI has done a bang-up of summarizing a Fifth Column episode, which mostly covers the insane economic policies of both idiot candidates and why members of Hezbollah are having their balls blown off.
But according to the half-sentient supercomputers, the lads discuss how âMelania Trump's new book is a focal point, with humorous commentary on its content and implications.â True enough. And also, there is apparently some conversation about how âevidence is often disregarded in political claims.â Well yes, thatâs pretty much every segment on every episode. âThe speakers critique the absurdity of political discourse and the influence of social media on public narratives.â Is it odd that the AI episode summary failed to note that Moynihan yet again makes fun of Sam Altman? Only as odd, we suspect, as Snowden not tweeting negative things about PutinâŠ

First: Our remote recording software uses AI to create text âsoundbitesâ from every episode episode. They are best ignored. But this week, it came up with this: "Music is crazy."
"This is about Indians."
"I want to be black."
"You must have a white wife."
Yes, all of those important issues are discussed. But the conversation is mostly about the latest faileâŠ

Itâs the final night of the convention and in the hours before everything kicks off, the lads convened at the Substack loft to chat with Axiosâs Alex Thompson, our old pal and arguably the most plugged in political reporter in America. We could offer some conversation bullet points butâŠjust trust us. This is a really good one. Alex dishes on his reporting about the campaign to dislodge Bidenâs from ticket, the enormous and quiet political power of the Obamas, and the behind-the-scenes war between Michelle Obama and the Biden family.
