More from the mob
Welcome to Week 2 of Matt's 'mob'-mania!
In case you missed it, for using the word "mob" to describe left-wing protests, I was mentioned on Stephen Colbert and Fox News' The Five this week, plus a Washington Post political cartoon. They say all publicity is good publicity, but that's especially true when it requires zero effort. Instead of schlepping to a TV studio, putting on makeup, and then doing battle, my new method is pretty easy: I simply sit home and somehow manage to get talked about on TV for something that happened two weeks ago.
If you'd like to be a part of this great national conversation AND you want to look good doing it, get yourself a "Matt Lewis and the Mob" t-shirt (now available on Patreon). These are limited edition, so get 'em while they're in stock!
At the Movies Last week, I was fairly critical of Last Man and A Star is Born. This week, I had a better experience watching Old Man And a Gun, starring Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek, and Casey Affleck. I'm not saying it's Citizen Kane, but it's charming and fun. On "Pocahontas" and Beto Over at the DMZ, Bill Scher and I talk a lot this week about Arizona Senate candidate Krysten Sinema's struggles with her left-wing activist past, as well as Elizabeth Warren's stumbles while proving her Native American ancestry. Speaking of Warren, keep an eye out for my upcoming Daily Beast column arguing that Warren and Beto O'Rourke are both guilty of cultural appropriation (not that there's anything wrong with that). Cult City On the 'Matt Lewis & The News' podcast, I talked to liberal author and blogger Greg Sargent about his new book, An Uncivil War. Believe it, or not, Sargent and I came up with a handful of compromise reforms that, if enacted, could actually help make America more united. I also talked to Daniel J. Flynn, about his terrific new book, Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco. And stay tuned for my conversation with Jonathan Taplin, Director Emeritus of the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California (and former Tour Manager for Bob Dylan and The Band) about his book, Move Fast and Break Things.
