The Matt Walsh Show

The Great Gatsby was trying to be seen in the full dimension of who he is.

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. David Foster Wallace. I read this a few weeks ago and this is more fiction is a collection of short stories. Wallace is someone that you either love or hate. I think as a writer, I tend to love him. I think he's a great writer, very insightful. I don't agree with all of his insights, but if you're looking for shorter fiction, I would read that.

He's a woke virtue signaller to such a degree that he pretends to read books about Malcolm X. You've probably seen this clip before, but honestly, it's just too good to not share again. Here it is. ... So you're holding The Autobiography of Malcolm X along with Alex Haley.

it says, in Cohen's recent memoir Disloyal he recounts Trump returning from his 2011 meeting with pastors who laid hands on him and sneering, can you believe that bull crap? But if Trump found their rituals ridiculous, he followed their moneymaking ventures closely.

And it reminds me of one of the greatest lines from one of C.S. Lewis's greatest books, The Abolition of Man, which if you've never read, you should. We remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chess and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.

Hollywood is doing an adaptation of one of my favorite books of all time Brave New World... they're making a dystopian series that looks exactly the same, with the same outfits and wardrobe, and it completely misses the subtle, creepy element that pervades every page of the book.

The book is all about entertainment being used as a means to control the masses, make them passive and accepting - exactly what Hollywood is doing, so the adaptation of Brave New World is ironic because the novel warned us about this very Hollywood behavior.

this is my experience almost every time out comes The Book of Romans so it seems like you're reading Jesus through the filter of Paul

Mike Pence wrecks Kamala Harris, liberal celebrities stripped for democracy and President Trump works the art of the deal on China virus relief.

I've read those books also. ... Daniel and in revelation ... I would recommend that for everyone to actually sit down and read the book of revelation cover to cover.

The books of the Bible, like Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Matthew, and Revelation.

I would recommend that for everyone to actually sit down and read the book of revelation cover to cover, not just a verse here and there, not just the things that your pastor points out.

You can't just crack open the book of revelation and say, Oh yeah. Okay. Well, that's what this means right here. And that's what this means.

I read the book and I really loved the book.

The book's been out for 50 years or something.

Hold On to Your Kids by Gaber Motte, I think is how you pronounce it, M-A-T-E. Recommended it to all parents and aspiring parents, even the coddling of the American mind by Jonathan Hyde.

I've mentioned Hold On to Your Kids before, and I think I've mentioned it and said that it's the only parenting book I've ever read in my life.

It was recommended to me and I read it. And at the time I read it, from the perspective of like looking back on my own childhood.

the Edmonton Public School Board... decided to ban 1984, The Godfather, Jaws, and so on, in addition to The Handmaid's Tale.

John Milton's Satan is the villain of the piece in Paradise Lost, right? His whole thing is that he's rebelling against God, not because he's doing anything good or anything noble or anything true or beautiful, but because he would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.

And over the course of time, I think Western culture now sees Satan as the hero and Satan is the hero because Satan is narcissistic and into himself.

My son especially loves Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer.

Instead of just nodding along with whatever hot take crossed your feed this morning, have you ever actually cracked open the Constitution yourself? ... That's why I'm thrilled that Hillsdale College is offering a brand new free online course called The Federalist.

The founders knew we'd need to stay vigilant to preserve Republican self-government, and that responsibility falls on us today. The Federalist Papers were written primarily by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to explain how our Constitution creates a government strong enough to protect your rights, but safe enough not to trample them.
