    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 Jesus Complex: Blasphemy, Idolatry, and the Pope He Can't Bully

    On today’s LIVE chat, Charlie Sykes and Matt attempted to break down a chaotic news cycle with sharp analysis and dark humor. I think we mostly succeeded. Here’s what they covered: — Trump’s Blasphemy and Self-Idolatry: Trump’s AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus healing or resurrecting someone, combined with his vulgar Easter “bleat,” seen as blatant blasphemy and idolatry that has even some MAGA supporters uneasy. — Trump’s Escalating War with the Catholic Church: Personal attacks on Pope Leo, threats of an “Avignon papacy,” criticism of the Pope as “weak on crime,” and the difficult position this creates for conservative Catholics and convert J.D. Vance. — Evangelical Silence vs. Moral Consistency: Why many evangelicals who once criticized bad character now defend or downplay Trump’s sacrilegious behavior. — Viktor Orbán’s Landslide Defeat in Hungary: A major blow to authoritarianism as Orbán — backed by Trump and Putin — suffers a crushing electoral loss. But will he actually leave office? — J.D. Vance’s “Everything He Touches Turns to Sh*t” Record: Vance’s failed efforts in Hungary and peace negotiations, reinforcing his reverse-Midas touch. — The Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz: Trump’s confusing and potentially self-defeating plan to join or escalate the blockade. Is there a method to the madness? — Eric Swalwell’s Spectacular Political Collapse: Multiple allegations of sexual assault leading to his withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race, and talk of expulsion from Congress. — Amanda Ungaro, Melania Trump, and the Epstein Files: The Brazilian model’s threats to expose secrets tied to Melania and the Epstein world after being detained and deported via ICE at the request of her ex-partner (a Trump ally). Does this explain Melania’s bizarre press conference??? — Trump’s “Freedom 250” Religious Revival: Plans for a large-scale “national jubilee of prayer” and revival on the National Mall, juxtaposed against his recent blasphemous posts. — 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.

    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!

    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.
