Ep. 1234 - No Kings, Just Thugs

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, “No Kings” protests were staged across the country this weekend. The protesters bravely stood up against a monarchy that doesn’t exist in this country. We’ll recap the sad and sometimes disturbing spectacle. Also, Trump announces a renewed effort for mass deportations in major cities across the country. But what about amnesty for illegal aliens who work for farms and hotels? Will that really happen? Plus, war breaks out between Iran and Israel. Will we get involved? Should we? We’ll discuss. And, the media celebrated Father’s Day the same way they always do: by lecturing and scolding fathers.

Ep. 1768 - Did USAID Cause COVID?

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we're now being told that there's nothing to see here with Jeffrey Epstein. No client list. No other culprits. And he did kill himself. We'll sort through the latest on this story, and I'll explain why I don't buy the official narrative for even a second. Also, bureaucrats weep and wail in the street as relatively minor layoffs hit the State Department. A woke DA drops all charges against a registered sex offender who attempted to kidnap a child from a playground. And, Chip and Joanna Gaines produce a new show that features a gay couple with children.

Ep. 1622 - They Want You To Forget About Epstein. Don’t.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, new data reveals that the “raw footage” from Epstein’s prison actually has nearly 3 minutes cut from it. This revelation comes as the Administration and some of its surrogates demand that we drop the subject and move on. We will ignore that directive and talk about the latest today. Also, Elmo goes on an anti-semitic rant on the same day that Jasmine Crockett insists we have to fund PBS so that would-be terrorists in Afghanistan can still watch Sesame Street. It’s been a strange week, to say the least. And false media reports accuse Trump of cutting all spending on AIDS prevention overseas. It’s not true, but why aren’t we cutting spending on AIDS prevention overseas?

Ep. 2244 - Media LIES About Trump Explode In Their Faces!

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the conspiracy theorists have been proven right again. New reporting reveals that there are very good reasons to be hesitant about putting yourself down as an organ donor on your driver’s license. Also, Trump pushes to have the NFL team in Washington change its name back to the Redskins. And a new alleged “police brutality” case goes viral. We’ll take a look at the full context and find out who is really at fault.
