I spend a lot of time talking about how western civilization – in particular as driven by the United States – is easily the greatest that mankind has yet created. If one looks at it objectively, it’s not even close. The list of things that are part of the everyday life of people around the world is basically a list of things that were invented or developed in the west. From cars to planes to advanced agriculture to elevators to plastic and mobile phones and computers and DNA and much, much more. But every now and then something happens that...

We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. 9:40 AM · Jun 25, 2025 · 277.4K Views

In April 2025, Tucker Carlson invited Matt Walsh onto his podcast. The conversation covered everything from same-sex adoption and surrogacy to foreign policy isolationism. It is well worth listening to. But beyond the substance of the conversation, there was simply something powerful about a discussion between two men with such influence on the American Right—each man has an audience of several million subscribers on YouTube alone. In the age of digital media, each man far surpasses the reach of any legacy-news media personality. Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson could be fairly described as two of the most influential men in...

At the moment, as a particularly depressing and financially insolvent “Pride Month” continues to trudge along, there is no greater illustration of this phenomenon than the so-called LGBT movement. These activists understand that they’ve been discredited. All of their narratives about alleged hate crimes — from Matthew Shepard onward — have collapsed under the slightest scrutiny. All of their claims about not having “equal rights” and “just wanting to live their own lives without bothering anyone” have fallen apart as well. That’s why “Pride Month” is dying. And in response, rather than engage in any introspection, LGBT activists have predictably...

Newsdump Update: Labor Party Wins Australian Election By A Wide Margin... C.S. Lewis wrote a commentary back in 1948 that published as part of a book called "Arthurian Torso" here is a portion of that. "When race is separated from rave and 'grace is prized in schism', when all pleasure is to be inside some partial and arbitrary group, then of course, we must have 'outsiders' to despise and denounce--"... Well, there's that and it's not gay the "Village People" say but the guy that wrote that song well he ultimately died of AIDS... Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene setting the...

"All children deserve to grow up healthy and whole," a flyer for the event stated. "All parents deserve to make informed decisions to protect their children, without emotional blackmail by physicians blindsided by ideology." The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case out of Tennessee regarding child sex changes. Outside the Washington, DC high court, detransitioners and others will speak out against the practice at an event called the Do No Harm rally. The rally will be hosted by Do No Harm, a nonprofit run by medical professionals who oppose child sex changes, to "stand up for...

Matt Walsh reveals unreported facts about the alleged rape by Pete Hegseth. The video is 21 mins long. Let’s Talk About The Facts Of The Pete Hegseth Allegations (Matt Walsh)

I am a very big fan of the podcasters at the Daily Wire: Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan. I don’t agree with them on everything, but I enjoy their intelligent takes and humor. They and I agree that JD Vance did a wonderful job during the vice-presidential debate, but they all missed how well he did on the abortion issue.When Walz was asked about abortion, he launched easily into the shtick that it’s all about women’s healthcare while boasting about what a wonderful state Minnesota is for abortion. He had to lie, of course, about the...

Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh released his bitingly comedic documentary, Am I Racist?, in early September to great acclaim, vexxing film critics and industry insiders who see themselves as the exclusive gatekeepers of the silver screen.The movie’s surprise success—even while facing vicious left-wing attacks—stood in stark contrast with the failure of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, a sci-fi political drama with an anti-Trump political subtext that opened over the weekend with neither critical nor audience acclaim—despite its bloated budget, all-star cast and abundance of Hollywood hype.This pattern may signal a shifting trend in consumer sensibilities. Prior conservative-friendly films, such as Angel...

In the mockumentary, Matt Walsh is concerned that he is racist. Awkward moments follow. The movie’s conceit is that Walsh is concerned he is racist and trying to “do the work.” (This column will contain spoilers, starting with: He is not sincere.) In a deadpan parody of a self-flagellating White progressive, often wearing a ridiculously obvious wig, he interviews diversity experts, attends antiracist events and eventually sets up his own diversity workshop. Unsurprisingly, many of his targets are painted as grifters, demagogues or well-meaning morons. Interspersed are more sympathetic figures, White and Black, trying to convince this caricature that race...

Robin DiAngelo is a grifter who has made millions off a hateful book titled White Fragility. She is one of the left-wing “anti-racists” who were interviewed by Matt Walsh in the Daily Wire film Am I Racist?, which opened yesterday and which I reviewed at the link.Walsh’s interview of DiAngelo is one of the film’s highlights. She has no idea who Walsh is, and he introduces himself as “Matt.” You can’t be too careful these days, she says. The high point of the interview is when they talk about reparations, which DiAngelo favors. It happens that a member of the...

Last week, I gave high praise to Reagan, the new movie looking at the life of America’s greatest Cold Warrior. It was a heartfelt, meticulous look at Reagan’s fundamental decency and love for America. Today, I’m giving high praise to Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist?, a new movie looking at the race hustling industry. It is a hysterically funny, pointed, and appropriately vicious look at people, both black and white, who deliberately promote racial discord for power and huge profits.The movie’s premise is a simple one: Matt Walsh embarks upon a journey to discover whether he is a racist and,...

Conservative commentator and filmmaker Matt Walsh is no stranger to controversy, and with his latest venture, “Am I Racist?” he’s hoping to take the conversation to a new level with a weapon that knows no political boundaries: comedy. The Daily Wire film, which satirizes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, takes Walsh undercover to college campuses and corporate settings, confronting consultants and professionals in the DEI space. Unlike Walsh’s previous project, “What Is a Woman?” which tackled the absurdity of the trans movement, "Am I Racist?" isn't confined to The Daily Wire’s streaming platform but marks the media company’s first...

“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo was hoodwinked into dipping into her own pocketbook to pay reparations to a black producer in podcaster Matt Walsh’s upcoming documentary “Am I Racist?” An undercover, man-bun-wearing Walsh, 38, goaded DiAngelo into ponying up cash to his producer named Ben to compensate for the sins of the past by first coughing up the money himself. Walsh, who had been conducting an interview with DiAngelo for a documentary project while feigning anti-racist sentiments and posing as an activist,*** “This is Ben, a producer on the film. I thought it would be a powerful opportunity to speak...

After four days of long-winded speeches and non-stop Trump-bashing, the Democratic National Convention is finally over. The DNC saw speeches from the Clintons, Obamas, and, of course, Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. It was the antics away from the main stage, however, which captivated conservatives across social media. While Edwin the Venezuelan alien was kept away from the convention, conservatives who managed to sneak into the DNC caused chaos among the Democratic attendees. One incognito activist was Matt Walsh, the conservative children’s author who’s risen to fame for his efforts against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across...

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh raised eyebrows at the Democratic National Convention after crashing the event in a 'white dudes for Kamala Harris' disguise. Walsh sparked backlash from Democrats after he was spotted in his woke liberal disguise - mocking them with a ponytail-wig and 'Kamala Harris for president' hat, as he wandered around the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday. In one scene shared widely across social media, Walsh ambled into the background as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was interviewed by CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

Is he racist? Conservative podcaster Matt Walsh donned a man bun as he went undercover to ask heavy questions for his upcoming documentary flick “Am I Racist,” which will be the Daily Wire’s first original theatrical release. The outlet dropped a trailer for the upcoming documentary Tuesday, revealing Walsh’s journey through the world of the anti-racism movement, where he explored literature, interviewed experts, and seemingly took an earnest look into the depths of his soul. Walsh previously starred in the 2022 documentary “What Is a Woman.” The Daily Wire is planning to release his new documentary on Sept. 13. Before...

Editor’s Note: The following information is deeply disturbing and explicit. Reader discretion is advised. CV NEWS FEED // The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh analyzed the “manifesto” of a “transgender” gunwoman who murdered six people at a Nashville Christian school in March 2023. On Wednesday, Walsh posted several alleged photographs of the “manifesto” to his X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote on the platform that the writings are evidence of the 28-year-old woman’s “anti-Christian, pro-trans, and perverse ideas.” “In one passage, the shooter rails against ‘Christian friends’ that her parents have encouraged her to make,” Walsh noted. “She writes, ‘Parents actually...

The other day, we talked about how the Daily Mail had gotten a copy of at least some Audrey Hale’s (a.k.a. the Nashville Transgender Shooter) so called manifesto. And, today, Matt Walsh has more of it. Except before we dig in, we think we have to correct the record. What this actually seems to be is writings in a diary, as opposed to a well-thought-out document that tells you specifically why she did this. Such a document can give you a strong idea why she did it, it’s not the same thing as a document that says “this is why...
