Show Notes

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Donald Trump captures the communist dictator of Venezuela. I’m as non-interventionist as they come, but I think this was a brilliant move and I'll explain why. Also, as we saw over the break, Somali daycare fraudsters were exposed in a massively viral video. Why can’t we handle these people as swiftly and decisively as we handled Maduro? Plus, the communist dictator of New York, Mamdani, extols the virtues of collectivism over individualism. And I have some important advice for fathers as we begin the new year.
