The Matt Walsh Show

There is too much tolerance in the Church. We have been indoctrinated into the idea that a Christian should never show intolerance or hatred towards anything. But this is false. Hatred and intolerance are parts of love. If we love people, and if we love God, then we will have a real, profound hatred for sin and evil. 08-21-2018

The sex abuse problem in the Catholic Church is very bad, but it is not at all unique. The problem permeates through our entire culture and infects every institution. Media, Hollywood, sports, medicine, Catholic churches, protestant churches, public schools -- all of these institutions are plagued by abuse. 08-17-2018

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission is once again coming after Masterpiece Cakeshop and Jack Phillips. This time he is being accused of discrimination for refusing to bake a cake celebrating a "gender transition." This is not about defending the rights of LGBT people. It never was. This is about punishing Christians for being Christians. That's all. 08-16-2018

There must be a purge in the Catholic Church to expose, expel, and punish sex predators. It must be brutal and ruthless and far reaching. There is no other way at this point. Let's talk about three steps the Church can take to finally rid itself of this evil. 08-15-2018

The Left is mad that the actor portraying a gay character in a new Disney film is not himself gay. They're also mad that the actress portraying a lesbian Batwoman is not herself lesbian enough. Here we see two facts demonstrated: 1) Identity politics is insane. 2) The Left will never be satisfied, no matter how much ground is surrendered to them. 08-14-2018

Any time a handful of white supremacists gather together, the media rushes to the scene. If I didn't know any better I might begin to suspect that the media is trying to purposefully embolden and legitimize white supremacy so they can use it to discredit the Right. Date: 08-13-2018

It's not hard to figure out why young people today are attracted to socialism. The equation is pretty simple. Bad parenting + bad education = socialists. Date: 08-10–2018

We are far too focused on self-love these days. People have come to believe that self-love is the starting point, and goal, of human life. It isn't. Self-love hardly even makes sense as a concept, and in practice it almost always translates into narcissism. Let's talk about why we should stop worrying about loving ourselves and focus instead on loving others. Date: 08-09–2018

A new mental disorder called "Snapchat dysmorphia" has been invented to describe people who get plastic surgery so that they look better on Snapchat. There is a simple and more accurate term for this: narcissism. Social media fuels narcissism because it encourages us to focus intently on our image, our appearance, ourselves. Date: 08-08–2018

The big tech giants have conspired to ban and shutdown Alex Jones. No matter how you feel about Jones, this is chilling. And it's just the beginning. Date: 08-07–2018

The Left is defending the racist tweets of a New York Times reporter on the basis that she can't be racist because she isn't white. In the Leftist mind, only those with "institutional power" can be racist, and only white people have that kind of power. This is wrong and nonsensical on several different levels. Let's dissect the wrongness now. Date: 08-06-2018

Pope Francis is attempting to overturn 2,000 years of Church teaching on the death penalty. Christianity has always taught, and Scripture says, and men like Aquinas and Augustine have affirmed, that the death penalty is morally permissible. The Pope disagrees. Is he wrong? We'll talk about that on the show today. (But yes, he's wrong). Date: 08-03-2018

I don't understand evangelical atheism. If life is objectively meaningless, and we are but physical matter headed into an eternal oblivion, why do you care what other people believe? Why are you trying to convert us into unbelief? What does it matter? What does anything matter? Let's talk about it. Date: 08-02–2018

I can't believe I have to say this, but, no, Jesus is not a socialist. He does not see poverty as a social disease to be cured by a power from on high. He could do that Himself if He wanted to. But that's not the point. The point is that we as individuals are supposed to CHOOSE to help and love our fellow humans. Date: 08-01–2018

The New York Times published an article lamenting the fact that there are so many white people in New Hampshire. The Left continues to engage in blatant bigotry against white people under the guise of pushing "diversity." But socially engineered diversity is wrong and self-defeating. It's also extremely racist, for many reasons. We will discuss those reasons now. Date: 07-31–2018
