In this episode of YES or NO, Michael Knowles is joined by veteran, delegate, and unapologetic straight-shooter Nick Freitas for a no-fluff, high-proof round of rapid-fire questions. From politics and patriotism to parenting and pop culture, nothing is off-limits—and the drinks don’t help.

Can Nick handle the pressure of the buzzer and the bourbon? Will Michael be able to read him, or will the former Green Beret keep him guessing?

Real answers. Real drinks. Zero apologies.

Ep. 1765 - BREAKING: 82 People Dead As Libs Blame Trump For Texas Flood

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. 1624 - Yelling At Us To Stop Talking About The Epstein Files Only Means That We'll Keep Talking About The Epstein Files

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, there's a plot within the Republican Party to undermine Trump's immigration agenda and push amnesty. Also, a guy in San Francisco tried to shoplift from a Walgreens. The store manager got in a fight with him to stop him. Guess who was just convicted of a felony? And xAI unveils new virtual "companions," including one that looks like a half-naked anime character. I'm not a fan of this new innovation, as you might expect.

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

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Left is outraged at me because I dared to suggest that a pro-amnesty Republican politician is not a real American. Which raises what will be the new central question for our culture. What is an American? We'll discuss. Also, the White House doubled down on its claims that the Obama Administration concocted a treasonous conspiracy to undermine the will of the voters in 2016. And a very popular new app exists solely to give women a forum to spread gossip about men they don't like. Plus, a major construction site in Nashville is shut down after someone finds a ""noose"" on the premises. The epidemic of invisible ""nooses"" on construction sites is still apparently ongoing.

Ep. 2246 - SHOWDOWN: Trump vs. Powell

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, videos have gone viral of violent mobs attacking random people in Cincinnati over the weekend. The corporate media has put a complete black out on the story. Can you guess why? Also, Donald Trump moves to make insane asylums great again. And the women-only gossip and doxing app called Tea was hacked and doxxed. Is this a legitimate case of eye for an eye? Plus a woman on TikTok says she’s considering divorcing her husband even though he’s perfect and does nothing wrong. I have some advice for her, and for all the young single men worried about ending up with someone like her.
