Show Notes

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a viral op-ed calls attention to the extreme institutional discrimination against white males. Lots of people are acting shocked by it. But this is not new information. Also, Congress — which is controlled by Republicans, by the way — removes a Robert E. Lee statue and replaces it with some black woman you’ve never heard of. And Kamala Harris might consider running for president again. I for one am really concerned about this and make a plea for the mercy and grace democrats are well known for. All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
