Topic 1: Sheriff McFadden's Cluelessness in Irina Zarutska Murder. Walsh details the stabbing of a 23-year-old woman by habitual felon DeCarlos Brown, blaming soft-on-crime judges and Sheriff Gary McFadden, who released him. Highlights "Irina's Law" reforms and a humiliating hearing where the sheriff fails basic civics.
Topic 2: Epidemic of Dumb Politicians. Expands to national idiots like Rep. Hank Johnson (Guam capsizing), NJ's LaMonica McGyver (asking ICE director if he's going to hell), and others, arguing for IQ tests or civics exams to bar them from office/voting.

Show Notes

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, at a hearing over the murder of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina, an elected official reveals that he is so clueless about his own job that he would not be able to pass a third grade civics exam.

Democrats are taking it about as well as you’d expect. And an olympic athlete cries on camera because his girlfriend broke up with him.
