The Matt Walsh Show sponsors and ad reads

Most books are forgotten and only a few survive for a generation. Very, very few are still being read nearly 3,000 years after they were written. It doesn't happen by accident. It happens because those books understand something, something permanent about human nature. And that's why people still read Homer's Odyssey. It's more than an adventure story. It's about courage, leadership, temptation, perseverance, and ultimately why home and family are worth more than comfort or glory. Those questions haven't changed. Neither have the answers. That's why Hillsdale College is offering a free online course on the Odyssey, taught by Professor Benedict Whalen. The course explores one of the greatest works in the Western tradition and explains why it continues to shape the way we think nearly three millennia later. Enrollment is completely free, and you can work through the lectures at your own pace. Go to hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to enroll. It's totally free. Start reading. Learn the classics. Rediscover the West. Start right now at hillsdale.edu slash walsh.

I miss if I didn't mention that Daily Wire is coming out with a new movie. It's called Run, Hide, Fight Infidels. It streams next month and we have a first look at the trailer.

Nobody wakes up excited to deal with Medicare, and yet it is one of the most consequential financial decisions you'll make. So maybe give it more than five minutes. Here's the part that should make you angry. Insurance companies are out there paying agents to steer you into specific plans, whether those plans fit you or not. Nobody's telling you that. Most people assume they've seen all their options. They haven't, not even close. Chapter is different. They don't work for big insurance. They work for you. They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, every single one. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your actual situation, and they give you a straight answer. No angle, no agenda. If you're on the right plan, they will tell you. If not, they'll help you switch. People who've found new plans through Chapter have saved over $1,100 a year on average. It's free, under 20 minutes. You'll get a straight answer, which is more than Medicare has ever given you. Visit dailywire.com slash chapter today.

If you've ever tried to get financing through a traditional bank, you know the routine. Paperwork, waiting around, followed by more paperwork. And then maybe you'll get an answer, just maybe. Meanwhile, you're trying to run a business, not spend your week chasing signatures and checking your inbox. That's why I want to tell you about Cardiff.

Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. Big banks may not want to approve your business loans, but Cardiff does.

I'm Howard Mackler. I spent my career building companies that help businesses solve problems. Now I build SuperShore because I think business insurance is broken. Some brokers hand you a policy, collect their commission, and disappear until renewal. Your business runs all year, and so do the gaps and the risks. For companies with 25 or more employees, whether you're the owner, CFO, or HR manager, SuperShore is built for you. We're licensed in all 50 states, covering business insurance and employee benefits, with year-round support for you and your team. You can go to supersure.com and use the fine print facts tool, which translates your current policy into plain English. So you see what's common and what's not. The business value calculator helps you estimate what your company is worth. So you know what actually needs protecting. Go to supersure.com. All your policies in one place. Go to supersure.com. That's supersure.com. You can thank me later. Paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency, LLC.

Start saving today. Back to school season serves as a reminder on how important it is to get a good night's sleep. Suddenly the alarm goes off earlier. The days get busier. It's a lot harder to prioritize sleep. Well, that's one reason I've been using a Helix mattress. I sleep better. I wake up feeling more rested and that's something that I just won't compromise on. Helix has more than 20 different mattress models and they make it easy to find the right one. You take a quick sleep quiz and they match you based on how you actually sleep, your sleeping position, whether you sleep hot or cold, your firmness preference. And when you're sleeping on a mattress that's designed for you instead of one that's just designed for any random person, the numbers tend to speak for themselves. Every Helix mattress comes with free shipping, a 120-night free sleep trial, and the Helix happiness guarantee. If it's not the right fit, well, they'll make it right. And right now, Helix is giving my listeners Labor Day early access. Go to helixsleep.com slash Walsh for 20% off site-wide. That's helixsleep.com slash Walsh for 20% off site-wide.
