Science fiction amazes us with futuristic technology and weapons, but many like the laser pistol, raygun, or lightsaber seem high-tech versions of old tech. Are such weapons possible and if so, could they have a role in future warfare?

Laser Pistols & Lightsabers (Narration Only)

If Lies Were Currency, We Could Pay Off The Debt

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, violent gangs have taken control of the country of Haiti. This is a very bad time for our borders to be wide open. We'll discuss. Also, in one of the most insane moves we've seen from an insane president, President Biden apologized over the weekend for calling Laken Riley's killer "illegal." Plus, Robert DeNiro offers a terrifying dystopian vision of the future if Donald Trump is re-elected. And thousands of kids called their congressional representatives last week panicked over a bill that would supposedly ban TikTok. Which only goes to show why we should ban TikTok.

Ep. 1934 - Ronna McDaniel AXED By NBC

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Joe Biden escalates his war on Christianity by proclaiming Easter as "Transgender Day of Visibility." Leftists then proceeded to spend the day trying to explain why Jesus is pro-trans. Also, under a new law in Vermont, parents will not have the right to find out what books their children are checking out from the library. And Beyonce's new country album is out, and it's an even greater abomination than many had feared.
