Episode 362 - Task Force Baum

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the First Amendment has been suspended in Seattle as the city allows Antifa militants to accost and assault Christians at will. Also, King Charles delivers a land acknowledgement in Canada. And Secret Service agents are suspended after getting into a fight with each other on the job. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the same thing happened last year. And all of the agents involved, in both cases, are women. What unapproved conclusions might we draw from that?

Episode 371 - The Siege of Tyre

We begin by reading the last will and testament of Anas al-Sharif, a 28-year-old journalist for Al-Jazeera that was among those slain in Gaza by Israel yesterday. We then resume our Epstein coverage, including a look at his Manhattan lair and celebrity dinner guests. Then, two pieces on venture capitalists driven insane by The Computer and a story by Pamela Paul on conservative women…with careers? Stick around until the end for another Stroke of Genius and a special announcement from Chris.
