Walsh’s humor, wit, aplomb, and common sense could eventually seem like pinpricks against widespread cluelessness.
One day in the 00s, as a struggling Hollywood screenwriter like Fitzgerald’s Pat Hobby, I decided to earn some money playing a courtroom spectator on Judge Judy, a show I’d never watched. They sat me in the second row, making me prominent in every audience shot. I don’t remember anything about the case, or much about the star judge, because I dozed off early on. All I recall is a TV crewmember tapping me on the shoulder then relocating me to the back row, so I still got paid for sleeping. But I would have stayed wide awake in Matt Walsh’s courtroom during any session of Judged by Matt Walsh, because I’d be laughing.
Amid the increasingly indistinguishable world of “infotainment,” Walsh is a conservative triple threat — a witty culture critic, a moral crusader, and the sharpest deadpan comedian since Norm Macdonald. In the most serious second capacity, Walsh was instrumental in outlawing child “gender” butchery in Tennessee last year, and aiding the (sadly temporary) blockage of liberal indoctrination in Virginia schools.
Circumventing a Loudoun County School Board rule that prohibited non-state residents from speaking out, Walsh officially relocated to Virginia for a short time. The lyrics to a segment on his very entertaining Daily Wire podcast, The Matt Walsh Show, boasts, “Who saved Virginia after living there just for a day?” Yet in his actual address to the far left school board, Walsh was brutally direct: “You are all child abusers. You prey upon impressionable children and indoctrinate them into your insane ideological cult. A cult which holds many fanatical views, but none so deranged as the idea that boys are girls and girls are boys.” (READ MORE from Lou Aguilar: The Hollywoke Meltdown)
Walsh’s most refreshing trait amid the liberal-dominant cancel culture is his total fearlessness in skewering any progressive sacred cow, regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, or status in what he calls the “victim totem pole,” itself a snowflake-triggering term.
