The Real History of Slavery Episode 1

They told you slavery was America's unique sin. They lied. Matt Walsh exposes how African kingdoms enslaved millions, Islamic pirates raided Europe for white slaves, and the East African trade dwarfed the Atlantic.

The Real History of the American Indians Episode 2

What do Snow White, Cinderella, and smallpox blankets have in common? They’re all fairytales.

Matt takes on the biggest mainstream myths and left-wing shibboleths about the settling of the American West.

The Real History of the Civil War Episode 3

The American Civil War fundamentally transformed our nation. 600,000 American dead. Battle scars that still divide us today. But how much of what you’ve been taught is a lie? In this explosive documentary, Matt Walsh shatters the biggest and most enduring myths about the Civil War. What were they really fighting about? Why weren’t Confederate leaders put on trial? Why did Robert E. Lee become a heroic, unifying figure for decades after the war? And why are so many blue haired freaks tearing down his statues today? Through extensive research, and relying on primary source documents, Walsh confronts the cartoon version of history head on. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about America's defining war.

The Real History of Civil Rights Part 1: A New Constitution Episode 4

Since the 1990s, America's classrooms have turned Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks into sacred Civil Rights icons. But what if almost everything you were taught about them was wrong? In this shocking episode, Matt Walsh dismantles the mainstream myths about the Civil Rights movement and delivers a history lesson that didn't make it into the public school textbooks. Who really funded the movement? Was it truly non-violent? Was 1950s America the racist hellscape we're told it was? What do Selma and Birmingham look like today after decades of "progress"? And did the Civil Rights Act actually help Black Americans or did it fundamentally rewrite the Constitution in ways we’re still paying for?

The Real History of Civil Rights Part 2: The Looting of America Episode 5

In this eye-opening episode of Real History, Matt Walsh uncovers the real (and mostly ignored) consequences of the Civil Rights Movement, and reveals that you can draw a direct line from Martin Luther King Jr. to modern wokeness. What began as a moral crusade against segregation lead to something radically different: a fundamentally transformed nation, a new constitutional order, and a transformation of the high-trust, cohesive society we used to have into the divided nation we live in today. The sweeping civil rights regime was never put to a popular vote and lacked broad public. It was imposed on us anyways, through activist courts, federal bureaucrats, and administrative expansion. The result? A parallel system of law that effectively superseded the original Constitution, elevating group rights over individual liberty and redefining ordinary Americans as second-class citizens in their own country.

He also breaks down the left's "rules for revolution," detailing exactly how radical, resentment-fueled movements seize power.

The Real History of Watergate Episode 7

For decades, historians and pundits have treated the Watergate affair as the quintessence of American political scandals. The events changed the course of history, led to the resignation of an American president, and ushered in a new era of politics. We were taught the coverup was worse than the crime. But decades later, thousands of pages of declassified documents and sworn testimony tell a totally different story: one of intrigue, sabotage, betrayal, and deep state subversion. This is the Real History of Watergate.

In this shocking episode of Real History, Matt Walsh details the side of colonialism that academia doesn’t want you to know about, and in the process destroys some of the anti-Western dogmas and doctrines that pollute mainstream discourse today.

The Real History of the Conquistadors Episode 9

This episode tells the incredible story of how roughly 500 Spaniards, led by Hernán Cortés, were able to conquer a civilization and bring Christianity to Mexico. They did it against all odds, often fighting forces that outnumbered them a thousand to one. We detail some of the gruesome cultural practices of the Meso-American Indians and argue that, even by modern liberal standards, what Cortés and his men did was very good for Mexico, for Spain, and for the Western World.
