What controversy did Matt Walsh's 'Real History' series provoke?

Matt Walsh 0:00
Today on The Matt Walsh Show, my new series, Real History, has provoked the ire of the libs over at The Atlantic who accuse me of trying to understate the brutality and evil of slavery, which is strange considering the fact that my series actually tells you much more about the brutality and evil of slavery than any of these people ever will. Also, AOC makes her debut on the world stage and proceeds to totally humiliate herself as she attempts to issue her indictment of Western civilization and quote unquote whiteness. Plus, yet another trans mass shooting has occurred and an HGTV personality Let's say racial slurs slip out on camera. She's been apologizing and prostrating herself in hopes of forgiveness, but we know how that turns out.

All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

I've released enough documentaries over the years to recognize something of a pattern emerging in terms of how the left will respond. There are really only two options. Either they'll ignore my documentary entirely, which is how most of the media responded to Am I Racist, despite the fact that it was the top documentary of the decade, or in the alternative, they'll publish extremely low effort, highly dishonest articles where they review some imaginary version of the film, put words into my mouth and take every important scene out of context. That was the case with What is a Woman when outlet after outlet accused me of being a transphobe who engaged in hate speech, even though 99% of the movie, of course, involved me asking basic straightforward questions to self-described experts in gender ideology.

And the other 1% was me asking why those experts were running away from me instead of answering my simple and straightforward questions. So based on these experiences, when I released the first episode of my newest series at The Daily Wire, which is called Real History, I was expecting either a total media blackout or a flood of desperate hit pieces. After all, real history is a direct challenge to some of the most important tenets of modern leftism. But interestingly enough, real history has not been met with a total media blackout, nor has it been bombarded with a series of incredibly dumb and lazy smears.

How did AOC perform on the world stage during her debut?

Matt Walsh 2:22
Instead, aside from a small number of YouTube videos from historians, which have mostly been positive and very thorough, only mainstream response to real history has come from the Atlantic magazine, which considers itself to be the bastion of left-wing intellectual thought. And right away, that got my attention. It's not that The Atlantic is a trustworthy outlet. It's obviously not. In fact, they've created numerous high-level hoaxes in just the past couple of years solely to influence elections. But at the same time, if The Atlantic and only The Atlantic is coming after you, then it means you've done something unique. It means that you've rattled the people who, in elite circles of the Democrat Party, are taken very seriously.
Matt Walsh 3:04
Now, why might real history have done that? Well, to answer that question, let's see what The Atlantic says specifically.

What recent incident involving a trans individual was discussed?

Matt Walsh 3:11
Quote, Matt Walsh would like you to know you've been lied to. Last month, the right wing provocateur appeared on Megyn Kelly's show to discuss his new video series, Real History with Matt Walsh. In Walsh's account, the left believes that America was built on slavery and it has no right to exist. And every white American carries somehow that legacy, that guilt in their blood. Therefore, progressives feel they have the moral justification to do whatever they want to white people.

What was the response to the HGTV personality's use of a racial slur?

Matt Walsh 3:36
Walsh intends to stop this. So in real history, he relentlessly downplays the brutality of slavery in the United States. Sanitizing slavery has become a core objective of the reactionary right under Donald Trump, a malignant response to the progressive left's oversimplification of American history for their own present-day ends. But the truest understanding of slavery doesn't serve any political faction. Rather, it acknowledges the horrors of racial oppression while still allowing us to see beyond them.
