Show Notes
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, it doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes I get something wrong. We’re going to talk about one of those rare cases today. I have been a supporter of legalized online sports betting, and even had gambling sponsors on this show, but not anymore. And I will explain why I changed my mind. Also, new video sheds more light on Alex Pretti, the leftist agitator who got himself shot by ICE. Plus, Piers Morgan’s wife published an entire op-ed in the newspaper to complain about the fact that her husband got injured and now she has to take care of him. This is why you should never marry a feminist.
