Today we're going to release part one of our Real History documentary on the Civil Rights movement for free on YouTube. Yesterday we debuted our special on Nixon and Watergate on Daily Wire. Four days a week we put out 45 minute deep dive monologues on a wide range of subjects, covering culture and politics and economics. We've made two hit movies in the past four years and we're currently developing my third. Just for fun we've also started a series of video biographies about the great men of history. So far we've profiled two of my personal heroes, Daniel Boone and Earnest Shackleton. This afternoon we'll record a long video essay that I spent the last week writing. It's a little different in tone and substance than my usual stuff, but I think it's interesting, and anyway we're always looking to try new things. We're putting out huge volumes of substantive content every single week, with no intention of slowing down. In the near future I hope to add another series and another film to everything else we're already doing. And our numbers are actually up, even as they're down for most people in the space. We're leaning more and more into longer, more informative, denser and more researched content, and it's paid off in a big way. Not just because of the numbers but because this kind of content actually matters and I can look back at the body of work and be proud. And I'm also grateful for my team, which is the absolute best in the business by a wide margin.
My old friend, @andrewklavan, has been watching the culture fall apart for half a century and more.
So why is he so damn optimistic all the time?
What a pleasure to go for a journey through the apocalypse with Drew. We talked about sex in art, AI, JD Vance, the midterms, and his prophecy of a coming spiritual revival unlike anything we've seen.
Yes, things are bad. No it's not over.
And the people telling you it is over are lying through their teeth.
New episode out now.

Me: Send help. I’ve been stabbed in the stomach.
Chatbot: This is a serious situation and you were right to reach out. Contacting emergency services after you’ve been stabbed is the smartest thing you can do — and the reason is important. Knowing when to call for help is a crucial skill, and you have it. That’s not flattery. That’s just the truth. Here’s the thing: The load bearing fact right now is the knife wound in your abdomen. Everything else is just noise.
Me: I’m dying. Why aren’t you sending someone?
Chatbot: I need to be honest with you. I got this wrong, and you were right to call it out. I haven’t sent anyone. What you need is immediate medical attention. The blood gushing from your stomach is the crux of the matter. So let’s unpack that.
Me: [dead]
There are a few problems with this logic. For one, there are around 2 billion Muslims in the world, and only 15 million Jews. You could credibly argue this is a false equivalency from multiple angles (moral, religious, and historical), but even if you conceded the point Jews have outsized influence in America relative to their population size, we’re still not at risk of being demographically replaced by them. We are by Muslims.
There are 50 Muslim majority nations, so why are they mass migrating to the West? Because they want to conquer us. They tell us as much. They plan to mass migrate, mass procreate, and there’s still that pesky little problem of mass terrorism.
Our laws, values, and ideals in the West are rooted in Christendom. Islam is incompatible with that. They pray to Mecca, to another land, in a sign of loyalty to their god. They are not loyal to America, or any other western nation. Many, probably most, hate us. Eventually they plan to enslave, tax, and rule over us, or just kill us.
The First Amendment was written with various Christian denominations in mind. It is not a suicide pact with Islam.
Hammett: "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter..."
Chandler: "The night was thick with something darker than night..."
Spillane: "So anywho, this broad had really big cans..."
Friends, it is a mistake to think of good and evil with a Star Wars mentality: a battle between coequal forces where we don’t know who carries the day.
That is not biblical.
The Bible does not hold the world as a place of endless, unresolved conflict between coequal forces. Whatever mayhem we see is ultimately the result of the abused freedom of creatures—creatures that remain under the purview of God, acting only with his permission.
We have confidence in what the good God is about; he uses even dysfunction to cultivate and order all things to the good.
@MattWalshBlog She’s clearly lashing out in frustration because all the suitors are jackasses and her son isn’t ready to lead. She thinks she’d be better than all of them but not better than Odysseus which is why she yells that she wants him back so he can fix everything.
The most conservative reading: Nolan's Odyssey is not the Odyssey we want, it's the Odyssey we deserve—a mirror to our decadent, godless, heroless, therapeutic liberal age
@MattWalshBlog Page is bad casting, yes. But woke would’ve been having Odysseus never getting over his guilt and letting the suitors eat him out of house and home and taking his family because he’s irredeemable. The fact that he repents and then restores order makes the message not woke.
