Matt Walsh’s new trailer for his DailyWire+ series Real History doesn’t whisper — it punches. In a blunt teaser for “The Real History of the American Indians,” Walsh calls out a string of favored narratives from the left, even likening stories like smallpox blankets and politicized fairy-tale retellings to the kind of myth-making that has been used to shame Americans.
The Daily Wire says the episode will premiere on February 23 exclusively on DailyWire+, part of a season billed as a corrective to the one-sided versions of our past pushed in classrooms and Hollywood. That release schedule makes clear this isn’t casual commentary; it’s a coordinated effort by conservatives to reclaim the historical narrative.
Walsh isn’t coming at this as a nobody; he’s the same voice behind What Is a Woman? and Am I Racist?, projects that made clear he intends to challenge progressive orthodoxies rather than grovel to them. His track record as a provocateur and documentarian means the left should expect a fight — and ordinary Americans should expect the kind of unapologetic truth-telling the mainstream won’t deliver.
On the substance Walsh teases, sensible historians have long argued there’s nuance the hysterics ignore. Serious archival work shows only a handful of alleged instances where Europeans may have attempted to use disease as a weapon, with Fort Pitt during the 1760s often cited as the single most documented case, not proof of a continent-wide, systematic campaign. Americans who love their country should want the truth, even when it complicates a simple villain-victim storyline.
That nuance matters because the left’s constant drumbeat of national self-loathing does real damage: it trains generations of kids to view their inheritance as fundamentally wicked and undeserving of pride. Walsh’s episode promises to pull the curtain back on those manufactured narratives and replace them with a history that recognizes complexity, courage, and the full sweep of human failings on all sides. No one should be surprised the coastal elites are furious; truth always upsets those who profit from grievance.
Hardworking Americans don’t need lectures in guilt — they need honest history that builds character and gratitude. If you’re tired of curriculums designed to humiliate rather than educate, this series is a welcome shot of common sense and a reminder that patriotism and honesty can, and must, go together.
Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire are offering a choice: keep accepting the left’s one-note drama, or watch and decide for yourself. For patriots who want their children to know a fuller, fiercer story of this country, tuning in isn’t an indulgence — it’s a civic duty.
