Summary

Matt Walsh joins Allie Beth Stuckey for his first discussion about Episode 3 of his groundbreaking Daily Wire docuseries “Real History,” which dives deep into the untold truths of the American Civil War. Walsh challenges the mainstream narrative by exploring why the conflict wasn't simply a moral crusade over slavery, examining the complex mix of political power struggles, economic differences, cultural divides, and the spirit of secession that echoed America’s own founding. He also sheds new light on figures like General Robert E. Lee — a brilliant Virginian torn between loyalty to the United States and defense of his home state — and questions how the North shaped the history we’ve been taught. Plus, Matt shares how he’s become radicalized on criminal justice thanks to the suspected killer of Iryna Zarutska being found unfit to stand for trial. Matt reacts to soft-on-crime policies that prioritize criminals over victims and explains how the psychiatric industry has become a plague excusing the worst behavior in society. They also react to a bizarre clip in which Jennifer Siebel Newsom tries to use her trauma to relate to juvenile delinquents. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

0:00.0	The killer of Irina Zarutka has been found incompetent to stand trial.
0:06.2	That means he'll go to some mental health facility instead of where he belongs in prison.
0:12.0	What does this say about our justice system?
0:14.8	How in the world did we get here?
0:16.9	Well, we have someone here today, Matt Walsh, who says that he has been radicalized on the issue of justice.
0:22.1	He's going to talk us through this, why this is happening, what we need to do about it, what the
0:26.8	solutions are.
0:27.8	We'll also be having a fascinating conversation about his new real history series.
0:32.1	Today we're talking about the Civil War.
0:34.4	So buckle up, get ready to be offended by everything that said, but the facts actually
0:39.2	matter, the truth matters, and what we learn from truth really matters. This episode is brought
0:44.2	to by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to Good Ranchers.com. Use Code Alley at checkout. That's
0:48.6	Good Ranchers.com. Code Allie.
1:02.4	Matt, thanks so much for taking the time to join us.
1:07.0	Okay, before we talk about your new series, which I'm super fascinated by, I want to talk about some of the things that you said lately about criminal justice, Ir Zerutska. It was found that her killer was found incompetent to stand trial,
1:16.0	not even totally sure what that means or why. But can you just give us your general reaction
1:20.8	to that and what you think needs to change? Yeah. So they're saying his incompetent to stand trial.
1:26.5	Now, one of the caveats there is fortunately he also has federal charges and he hasn't been found incompetent there. So he's not, so he still is facing that. And I was watching a news report today, a local news report and somebody who was trying to explain this and sort of defend it was saying that, hey, just because he was found incompetent stand trial, doesn't mean that he's gonna be released, he's gonna go to a mental health facility, quote unquote. And he could, I think the phrasing in the report was, he could very possibly be there forever. But of course, what's implied there is that he could also possibly be released. And that has happened many times. I mean, there have been infamous cases,
2:02.0	including recent cases,
2:03.5	where people who were guilty of heinous, violent crimes, murder,
2:08.7	were found incompetent, ended up being released,
2:11.2	back out into the public.
