Weâve promised this one for a very long time. But now that Trump is returning to the White Houseâthe mercantilist maniac who recently said âthe most beautiful word in the dictionary is âtariffâââwe finally followed through. By popular demand, we called upon Scott Lincicome, senior visiting lecturer at Duke University Law School and vice president of general economics and Cato's Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, to answer all of your questions on protectionism, tariffs, and trade.
Donât care about such things!? Well, this episode is a double feature! After Scottâs masterclass on free trade, the lads stick around to discuss Trumpâs appointments (ummmâŠ.this was a day before the Gaetz-Gabbard selections), âneocons,â and the WNBA.
And for you subscribers: we will drop Moynihanâs conversation with Bard College historian Sean McMeekin in the next few days. For you non-subscribersâŠwhat are you waiting for??

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.
