    The Crisis Facing Boys and Men in America – And Why We All Need Strong Fathers & Mentors

    Why are boys and men falling behind in education, work, relationships, and mental health? And how did we get here — from "the future is female" slogans to a growing war on motherhood, marriage, and fatherhood? In this powerful conversation, Matt sits down with Lisa Britton (a former feminist turned advocate for boys and men) to discuss the real crisis facing American males — and why it matters for everyone. They cover: • How decades of shaming and sidelining boys created disengagement, radicalization risks, and even national security concerns • The damage of anti-family messaging and telling women they "don't need men" • The unique importance of fathers and male mentors (with heartfelt stories from both Matt and Lisa) • Why Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the cause• Bipartisan progress: The new White House Fathers and Sons Act and what we can do politically This isn't about toxic masculinity — it's about respecting men and boys, rebuilding strong families, and creating balanced partnerships between the sexes. If you're a parent, educator, or concerned about the future of our boys, this episode is essential viewing.

    Make America Sane Again: Ex-Trump Fan Exposes Trump's Travesties

    Matt starts out by updating us the latest Trump scandals. Then, Sheldon Hirsch, a practicing nephrologist and former reluctant Trump supporter, joins Matt to discuss his powerful new book "Make America Sane Again: Reflections on Trump's Travesties." In this candid interview, Hirsch reveals how he went from rooting for Donald Trump in 2016 (while refusing to vote for Hillary Clinton) to becoming a sharp critic who wrote nearly daily letters to the editor — many published in The New York Times and Chicago Tribune. What started as a hobby became a unique collection of insightful, bite-sized essays that chronicle Trump's actions from the controversial inauguration crowd claims, family separations at the border, the mishandling of COVID-19, to the January 6th events and beyond. Hirsch explains why the material "wrote itself," how he added historical and cultural perspective to make the letters compelling, and why he sees his work as a civic duty. He also shares personal stories, including his experience as a doctor on the front lines during the pandemic and a memorable analogy involving Maimonides' rules of charity applied to Trump's meeting with Zelensky. If you're looking for a thoughtful, non-partisan voice from someone who changed his mind based on events — not ideology — this conversation delivers fresh insights you won't hear everywhere.

    Trump's Iran Ceasefire Failure: Why Madman Theory Backfired on the Strait of Hormuz

    In this no-holds-barred “DMZ” conversation. Washington Monthly’s Bill Scher and Matt dissect how Trump’s “madman theory” and capricious threats collapsed against Iran’s resilience, asymmetric warfare, and “home-field advantage.” They also discuss: — Why the ceasefire feels fake: Ongoing deaths in Lebanon, closed Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s gains — Bill’s column on Trump’s madman theory (and why it failed like Nixon’s attempt) — bullying doesn’t beat true believers willing to die for their cause — Lessons from American history: Revolution, Barbary pirates, and the limits of military superiority against asymmetric foes — Narcissism over ideology: How Trump chased “ribbon-cutting” wins and quick highs, ignoring forever-war warnings he once embraced — Rising anti-Israel sentiment: Pew poll shows 60%+ unfavorable U.S. views, especially among young people — Netanyahu’s long-term damage? (Read Matt’s column in The Hill.) — Internal MAGA cracks: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and the “put grandpa in the home” moment — Broader fallout: Erratic threats, military recruitment risks, and why America can’t control gas prices or outcomes — And MUCH more!

    Trump's Iran Ceasefire: Did He Blink or Win? Plus, Why Are Dems Crushing Special Elections?

    In this week’s Cillizza & Lewis livestream discussion, Chris and Matt dive into the sudden end of Trump’s Operation Epic Fury against Iran — and what it really means for America. They also debate and discuss the following: — Did Trump secure a real victory with the ceasefire, or is it a fig leaf after weeks of deadlines and bluster? — Why the Strait of Hormuz “win” isn’t what it seems, and how this affects oil, the economy, and U.S. credibility. — The political cost: Erosion of trust, chaos fatigue, and why even some MAGA influencers pushed back. — The big deliverable: Shocking Democratic over-performance in special elections — Georgia 14 (Trump +37 district now only +12 for GOP) and Wisconsin Supreme Court (20-point liberal win). — What the data says about 2026 midterms: A building wave for Democrats, or just anti-Trump backlash?— Plus: Reflections on influencer fractures on the right, Democratic strategy heading into 2028, and why thoughtful people are tuning out. — And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

    David Sirota on Trump's Imperial Presidency

    David Sirota (former Bernie Sanders speechwriter, Don't Look Up co-writer, The Lever founder) joins Matt to break down Season 2 of his award-winning podcast Master Plan. They trace the decades-long plot — from Nixon and Watergate to Dick Cheney, Reagan's Justice Department, and Ed Meese — that transformed the presidency into an "imperial" office via unitary executive theory, setting the stage for Trump's aggressive use of power today. They also discuss: — Whether Dick Cheney and Ed Meese ever regretted empowering someone like Trump ("leopards ate my face") — Bipartisan complicity: Obama's drone strikes, DACA, and the temptation for Democrats to wield the same power — Gridlock, corruption (Season 1 tie-in), public demand for a "king who gets things done," and the Founders' anti-monarch vision — Plus: Bernie Sanders' long-game impact, Don't Look Up's warning about distraction machines, and why deep storytelling matters Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

    Will Saletan on Trump's Sick Compulsion: Celebrating Death & Insulting the Dead

    In this candid conversation, Bulwark writer Will Saletan discusses his latest piece on Donald Trump's disturbing compulsion to attack deceased critics and opponents. The trigger? Trump's Truth Social post rejoicing over former FBI Director Robert Mueller's death. Will and Matt unpack the full list of "greatest hits": Attacking Gold Star parents, smearing John McCain even after his death ("I like people who weren't captured"), dismissing John Lewis and Colin Powell, and claiming Rob Reiner "died of TDS." They also discuss: — Why Republicans like Mike Johnson and Scott Bessent defend Trump's attacks on the dead — Trump's attacks on his own appointees (Gorsuch and Barrett called "sickening" over tariffs), while paying off the bad guys (Michael Flynn and Ashli Babbitt settlements). Plus: — ICE at airports — Transgender athletes in sports — Social media addiction — Robot umps in baseball — And MUCH more!

    Dems Flip Trump’s Mar-a-Lago District & More: 2026 Midterm Wave Starting? (w/ Chris Cillizza)

    Democrats just flipped TWO Republican seats in Florida — including the state House district that includes Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Is this the start of a massive 2026 midterm wave against Trump? In this wide-ranging Substack Live conversation, Chris Cillizza and Matt break down: — The shocking 30-0 trend: Democrats flipping 30 state legislative seats since Trump’s inauguration… Republicans flipping zero — Why Florida special elections (Tampa Bay + Mar-a-Lago) signal major trouble for GOP in 2026 — California governor race meltdown: Jungle primary chaos, identity politics debate cancellation, and real risk of two Republicans advancing — Senate math for 2026: Which seats (Ohio, Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, Texas?) could actually flip if Democrats keep over-performing by 5–10 points — Why “history doesn’t matter anymore” — the power of the current zeitgeist and independent voter shift — Trump as the ultimate “weather creator” in politics — Redistricting revenge wars, authenticity in media, and why legacy outlets are copying our style — And MUCH more!

    20 MAR

    Trump's Iran War EXPLODES: Tulsi Hypocrisy, Rand's Revenge, Joe Kent Resigns, & 2026 Senate Flip?

    Today's conversation with Washington Monthly's Bill Scher was as a wide-ranging, candid conversation dissecting 2026 political flashpoints under Trump’s second term. We discussed: — Sen. Rand Paul’s feud with Sen. Markwayne Mullin during Mullin’s contentious DHS Secretary confirmation hearing (where Paul grilled him over temperament, past insults), Mullin’s stubbornness, cross-aisle likability (including Sen. John Fetterman’s Democratic vote advancing the nomination), and why Paul’s opposition likely fails due to Senate deference norms and lack of broader strategy. — Joe Kent’s explosive resignation as National Counterterrorism Center director (accusing Israel/AIPAC of manipulating Trump into war), his Tucker Carlson interview hinting at conspiracies (including linking Charlie Kirk’s assassination to pro-war forces), anti-Semitic trope risks amplified by Marco Rubio/Bibi Netanyahu statements, and blowback dangers. — Tulsi Gabbard’s hypocrisy: As DNI, she dodges Sen. John Ossoff’s direct “yes/no” on Iran’s imminent nuclear threat (deferring to Trump), contradicting her past “No War with Iran” brand and refusing to resign despite evidence the intel didn’t support imminence. — Midterm outlook: Matt’s bullish take on Democrats’ Senate chances in 2026, with prediction markets teetering ~50% and conventional wisdom shifting.— NATO resistance: Bill’s Washington Monthly piece arguing Democrats should defy any Trump unilateral withdrawal attempt, treating it as invalid precedent to preserve alliance ties post-Trump. — And MUCH more!
