A vocal supporter of “responsible gun ownership,” Matthew McConaughey got into a heated argument with Joy Behar of The View when she questioned the actor’s anti-gun views.
During his appearance on the show, McConaughey talked about the value of his career as a father of three and promoted his children’s book Just Because. The actor was praised by co-host Sunny Hostin for being “so outspoken against violence, and gun violence in particular” after she veered off course.
You thought about running for Texas governor in 2021, but ultimately decided to put your family first. Do you believe holding public office will be in your future? Hostin enquired.
“Yes, if that’s where I think I can be most useful,” the Interstellar actor answered. “At this time, I want to be the most helpful father I can be.”
“Do you think you could get elected in Texas being anti-gun?” Behan asked again.
“One thing about me and politics, to give you a direct statement right there, is me playing a game I’m not interested in playing,” McConaughey said, pointing a finger at Behar.
“Okay, don’t do it,” Behar said, attempting to diffuse the situation by stating, “I did want to say that I’ve done a lot of research in terms of your advocacy, and I don’t think you’re pro-gun responsibility and legislation.”
At a White House meeting after the 2022 Robb Elementary School tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old former student killed 19 pupils and two teachers, McConaughey urged people to “renegotiate our wants from our needs.”
Background checks and responsible ownership are essential. The age requirement to purchase an AR-15 rifle needs to be raised to 21. A waiting time is required for such firearms. Red flag rules are necessary, and those who violate them should face repercussions; these are tactical, sensible, and realistic regulations, the speaker stated.
“Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals,” the Oscar-winning actor continued.
The actor and his spouse, Camila Alves, started the Greenlights Grant Initiative in the wake of the horrific event with the intention of “ensuring the well-being of our children and creating safer school environments.”
Along with McConaughey, Alves is the parent of three children: Levi, 15, Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10.

Tonsil Stones: Small But Fascinating
Have you ever searched the internet for videos of someone popping pimples, draining cysts, or even removing tonsils? It’s amazing how these things can hold our interest! Let me inform you if you’re not familiar with tonsil stones; they’re actually pretty fascinating!
What Do Tonsil Stones Mean?
Hard white or yellow growths on the tonsils are called tonsil stones. These are the tissue flaps at the back of your throat that fight infections. When debris and materials, including food particles, calcium, germs, and fungi, become lodged in the tonsillar crypts—tiny spaces within the tonsils—tonsil stones are the result.
Signs and Easy Fixes
Though more prevalent than you would imagine, tonsil stones don’t always result in symptoms. When they do, though, they may cause unpleasant side effects like sore throats, coughing, earaches, and poor breath. The good news is that getting rid of them is simple!
You can try a few other approaches. The stones may be easier to remove if you gargle with salt water. Alternatively, you can carefully remove them using a cotton swab or other soft tool. An intense cough can even work sometimes!
