Zak Williams: Discover Opportunities for Post-Traumatic Growth: Zak Williams (son of the late Robin Williams, mental health advocate, Call For Help Podcast) discusses the benefits and challenges of the new 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). He talks openly about the struggles he faced after the loss of his father, including self-medication with alcohol, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. Zak and Mayim break down the complexities of death by suicide, public mourning, and the clinical symptoms of PTSD. They explain why law enforcement isn’t always the most well-suited to respond to mental health crisis calls and why individuals in the prison system may not always get the mental health support they need. Jonathan opens up about the survivor’s guilt he faced after his brother’s near fatal car accident, and how the trauma of the event altered his family dynamics. by Mayim Bialik's Breakdown

Ep. 1134 - Viral Clip Reveals A Father's Pain Over His Son's Gender Transition: Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEm Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a heartbreaking clip goes viral showing the total devastation that gender ideology wreaks on families. Also, DeSantis finally directly responds to Trump's attacks, though his response is not nearly as dramatic as the media is making it out to be. Joe Biden tries to read poetry and it goes as well as you'd expect. The governor of Arizona focuses on the real issues by outlawing "hair discrimination." Media Matters comes up with their latest attack on the Daily Wire. This time they're mad that we don't like to do laundry. And in our Daily Cancellation, it comes to this. I must cancel my Daily Wire colleague Michael Knowles. - - - DailyWire+: Become a DailyWire+ member to gain access to movies, shows, documentaries, and more: https://bit.ly/3JR6n6d Pre-order your Jeremy's Chocolate here: https: by The Matt Walsh Show

Ep. 1072 - Democrat Senator Tries The Jussie Smollett Strategy: Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEm Today on the Matt Walsh Show, California's creepiest groomer politician pulls a Jussie Smollett. And it's perhaps the dumbest and most blatant hoax of all time. Also, speaking of creepy groomers, Biden's BDSM dog fetishist energy official gets put on administrative leave. A new film pushing gender ideology on children is sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. I wonder why? I am persecuted by the audience despite having fairly fulfilled the terms of my anime deal. And director James Cameron warns that testosterone is a "poison" that must be purged out of men. - - - DailyWire+: Become a DailyWire+ member to access the entire DailyWire+ content catalog including my documentary “What Is A Woman?”: https://bit.ly/3dQINt0 Represent the Sweet Baby Gang by shopping my merch here: https://bit.ly/3EbNwyj Get 30% off ALL Jeremy’s Razors pro by The Matt Walsh Show

Ep. 1153 - From Bud Light to Disney, The War On Woke Corporations Must Continue: Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Ron DeSantis has gone to war with woke corporations, especially Disney. But some Republicans have come to Disney's defense, arguing that it's more important to save corporations than to save the culture. And this attitude is exactly why Republicans so often lose. Also, Biden's DOJ is suing to stop Tennessee's law banning child gender mutilation. Plus, Lia Thomas scolds the women who object to his presence in their locker rooms and on their sports teams. Mattel puts out an inclusive Barbie, but this is one inclusivity campaign that I actually sport. In our Daily Cancellation, a 'wellness advocate' attempts to explain why losing weight is fatphobic.

Ep. 1099 - They Want You To Be Fat, Poor, Dumb And Helpless: Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEm Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Biden Administration has hired an "obesity expert" to help craft new dietary guidelines. This "expert" says that obesity is a brain disease and there is almost nothing you can do to stop yourself from becoming fat. This is ridiculous, but it's part of a larger and more nefarious agenda, which we'll discuss today. Also, the media launches a campaign against "assault pistols." A teen girl is sexually harassed by a man in the women's locker room at the YMCA. Now the harasser is speaking out to defend himself, and somehow I do not find his arguments persuasive. Plus, a famous track star claims racism and sexism after getting kicked off of a plane. Is she really a victim or just another cry bully brat? - - - DailyWire+: Use code DONOTCOMPLY to get 40% off annual DailyWire+ membership plans: https://bit.ly/3dQINt by The Matt Walsh Show
