#411 - A Conversation with Vivek Ramaswamy

Jun 14, 2023

182

Fresh from his campaign stop in front of a Miami courthouse, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stops by the Fifth’s Chinatown studio to very politely argue with Welch and Moynihan about a whole bunch of stuff. Including:

The donor class
What kind of conservative is Vivek?
Populism and free trade
A peace plan for China and Ukraine
The Trump indictment
Would Vivek take a position in a Trump
Vivek leaves, the lads have a tipple
Not many randos this time
Matt and Moyn on the Trump indictment
Wait, did Moynihan just say…free Assange?? (He did!)
More 2024 nonsense
Chris Christie is serving his purpose
Moynihan tries to decode an ever more complex flag
