UNDERSTANDING THAT YOUTUBE’S MATT WALSH, IS NOT, AN A$$HOLE. EARNEST MANN’S GOOD NEWS PC.2
What Matt Walsh Doesn’t Know About Truth, Politics, and Realism
Hey, it’s Earnest Mann here. Today, I’m calling out the smug, smugly flannel-clad commentator Matt Walsh. Now, this isn’t about hate — it’s about calling BS on false objectivity, tired partisan tropes, and the arrogance of pretending to be “the voice of the people” when you've never worked a blue-collar job in your life.
Partisan Politics Are Dead — Matt Just Hasn't Noticed
Matt Walsh has built his persona on dragging the progressive left — and to be fair, some of it is low-hanging fruit. But his biggest blind spot? The failure to call out the corruption on the right. He and his ideological sidekicks love pretending that all the bad ideas come from the other side — but they’re just cheerleading for one team of a broken system.
The Younger Generation Is Moving On
I’ve spent years observing American social and political behavior, and here’s my take: young people don’t care about partisan loyalty anymore. They care about realism — finding a good job, affording rent, and not getting wrecked by the system. People are sick of paycheck-to-paycheck stress, and tired of outdated political soapboxes.
The Real Anti-Intellectualism Behind the Rhetoric
Let’s talk about Walsh’s crusade against intellectuals — especially university professors. It reeks of anti-intellectualism, and honestly, it echoes the same tactics used by fascist regimes. I’m not saying he is one — but I am pointing out that he uses rhetorical sleight-of-hand to distort ideas, reject objective truth, and mock thought itself.
This episode is short, but it packs a punch. And if y’all want a follow-up, let me know — because there’s a hell of a lot more this man doesn’t know.

Transcript
00:00 hello my name is Ernest Welcome I'd be willing to bet that you've probably have heard of Matt Walsh And if you haven't well let's just say he's one of the really biggest hogs at the YouTube trough dispensing his particular brand of self-depreciating yet simultaneously annoyingly arrogant right-wing views thinly veiled in an ages shucks his trademark flannel shirts to appeal to the working class which he himself has never actually been manner So let's hear about what Matt Walsh doesn't know Let's jump right in
00:40 You know actually the title is a little well a little mistaken because this episode is only around you know 10 minutes long So I don't have the hours and hours or days and days to discuss what Matt Walsh doesn't know So I'll just discuss something you know relatively small And if you're somebody that loves Matt Walsh well I'm sorry because your right-wing pariting deity is about to be taken down a peg or two I want to make clear this is in no way an attempt at character assassination because as far as Matt
01:30 Walsh's character is concerned there really isn't much there to assassinate If I jump right into one of the most significant things that Matt Walsh apparently doesn't seem to know it would be his absolute failure to understand that the age of partisan politics is rapidly becoming as obsolete as the horse and buggy versus the automobile At least if you're not a Amish I'll admit that to a certain extent I actually do enjoy his silky smooth objective realitybased you know criticisms of the anti-logic
02:20 nonrealitybased progressive left that is often accurate and often funny but the problem with it especially over time is that it's lowhanging fruit and he continues to beat a very very dead horse And that's just the beginning of my criticism You see throwing all this admittedly very self-satisfying rotten fruit at anything even remotely on the left he just like many other of his political and ideological sickopants all absolutely refuse to recognize the greed corruption and absolute idiotic ideas and ideals of the
03:13 right And that is exactly why I'm t taking the time to say all of this with this episode because I'm absolutely sick of the stupidity of his or any others formalistic political vicarious identification [Music] I hold the opinion that anyone who is incapable of laughing at themselves should they themselves be laughed at Because anyone who even begins to believe that basically they know it all actually knows well very little And in addition to that to one degree or another actually considering themselves
04:00 God's personal representative on earth but really shouldn't be representing anything or anyone not even a chicken coupe They seriously need to just sit down shut the up and have a beer I have come to the conclusion through many years of social and political observation neither faction of this American corporation Republicans Democrats are actually simply just two sides of the same capitalist coin today That there are really good ideas on both the right and the left that could benefit society Yet there are equally destructive and
04:50 idiotic ideas on both the right and the left to ruin society The failure lies in objective agreement of what constitutes good and what constitutes bad and for who But like I said before this is what apparently Matt Walsh doesn't know or simply is not willing to accept that his audience has moved on My observation is that young people today don't have the time or they don't give a about partisan politics They have become and I feel are becoming more and more each day folks like me realist And realism doesn't give a damn
05:46 about all that partisan nonsense Again right or left it cares about bread and butter issues not only getting but being able to keep a decent paying job an affordable home and not living from paycheck to paycheck as we have for well many years now Tired of it sick of it that They've had enough So at this point I just want to let you know that I'm running low on time If you want me to basically pick up where I left off on this episode in another episode or if you have any questions about this one don't be
06:34 chicken and drop me a line in the comments or email me and I'll answer you Okay Okay I'm not going to ask you to click on the subscribe and notification bell because I'm sure you already know how important that is for the channel to grow So I'm not going to ask you Before I close this out I'll just say this Another disingenuous theme I hear repeatedly from Matt Walsh is his anti-intellectual crusade against university professors especially those with tenure The following I'm about to say is attempting to illustrate a point
07:23 Don't freak out So since Walsh is obviously a very thinly veiled fascist at best it is totally makes sense that he hates intellectuals That's okay We understand Hitler didn't care very much for intellectuals either and had the famous book burnings when he came to power So if you see where I'm coming from if I wanted to play manipulative and very juvenile rhetorical word games or straw man arguments designed to clearly paint someone in a very bad way I would say something like the above which was
08:12 purely for illustration Yet this is the kind of that Matt Walsh does all the time Quite unapologetically It's OG By that criteria of fascism scratching my chin I don't know if it walks like a duck quacks like a duck Look I don't claim to know much anything that Matt Walsh actually knows but I sure as hell can tell you one thing he apparently doesn't know or can accept The concept of objective truth So look I know I already told you to please subscribe and hit the notification bell because it makes the
09:01 channel grow Therefore I'm not going to say it again That's it Phenito no mas I thank you so much for sticking around until next Monday or Friday This is Earnest and I usually always am
