Show Notes

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Minneapolis continues to spiral out of control after yet another totally justified shooting by ICE agents. I'll explain why it was jusified, and what Trump must do now to save his presidency, and the country. Also, Jimmy Kimmel weeps on camera yet again. And a guy climbs a 100 story building without a rope or harness live on Netflix. Was this spectacle unethical and morally problematic? Some say that it was. I disagree.
