Matt Walsh (political commentator) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Matt Walsh (born June 18, 1986)[1] is an American right-wing political commentator and author.[2][3] He is the host of The Matt Walsh Show podcast and is a columnist for The Daily Wire. He has authored four books and starred in The Daily Wire online documentary film What Is a Woman?
Walsh is a former talk radio host for stations in Delaware and Kentucky.[4][5][6][7] He is outspoken against the LGBT movement, especially the transgender community, and has campaigned in opposition to groups providing or encouraging transgender health care.[8][9][10][11]
Career
Walsh did not attend college.[12] He began his career as a talk radio co-host of The Matt and Crank Program at WZBH 93.5 FM in Georgetown, Delaware, from early 2010 to August 1, 2011, and then moved to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with WGMD 92.7 FM later that month, where he worked for less than a year.[6][7] In 2012, he moved to Lexington, Kentucky, joining NewsRadio 630 WLAP and launching a website, The Matt Walsh Blog, in which he discussed various issues from a conservative view.[4][5][13] Walsh announced in December 2013 that he was "leaving radio forever" to focus on blogging after his show was canceled.[4][6] He worked for TheBlaze starting in October 2014.[13] He was also a contributor to HuffPost[14] and began writing for The Daily Wire in October 2017.[15] He has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight,[16][17] The Ingraham Angle,[18] Fox and Friends,[19][20] Dr. Phil,[21] as well as the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience.[22]
Walsh has authored four books: The Unholy Trinity: Blocking the Left's Assault on Life, Marriage, and Gender (2017), Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians (2020), Johnny the Walrus (2022), and What Is a Woman?: One Man's Journey to Answer the Question of a Generation (2022).
Walsh has hosted The Matt Walsh Show starting in April 2018 on weekdays; it is about an hour in length.[citation needed]
Views and controversies
Walsh has been described as right-wing,[23][2][3][24][25] conservative,[26][27][28][29] and far-right.[30] His commentary is sometimes described by media outlets as trolling.[31][32][33] He labels himself a "theocratic fascist" in his Twitter biography,[34][35] which he has said was in response to an opponent using the label as an insult.[36]
Walsh has argued that the trial of Kenosha unrest shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted, was malicious prosecution.[37] He has argued for banning pornography and supports restricting abortion.[38] Walsh has argued that ozone depletion and acid rain were never serious problems, in tweets that Ars Technica described as "willfully ignoring some very well-documented history".[39]
Regarding the casting of Halle Bailey in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid (2023), Walsh said on The Daily Wire, "from a scientific perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have someone with darker skin who lives deep in the ocean", and suggested that the mermaid should be translucent instead. Walsh's commentary was mocked on CNN by digital senior entertainment writer Lisa France, who said "racism is real, unfortunately, and people get so offended".[40] Later, Walsh said that "Translucent rights are human rights".[41] He called anime "satanic" in an answer to viewers' questions in one of his videos, adding "I have no argument for why it's satanic. It just seems that way to me."[42][43] He has called multiculturalism a "failed experiment".[44][third-party source needed]
Teenage pregnancy
In 2022, left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters for America uncovered audio recordings from the 2010s that contained Walsh discussing teenage pregnancy on the radio show The Matt and Crank Program, saying that "the problem is not, per se, teenage pregnancy—it's unwed pregnancy", that "Girls between the ages of like 17 and 24 is when they're technically most fertile", and that society had only recently deemed being a teenager "too young to start a family".[45] After receiving criticism for these comments, Walsh defended his monologue, arguing that he was trying to communicate an uncontroversial historical observation, that because "people married young and stayed married" teenage pregnancy wasn't considered an issue. He further argued that pregnancy out of wedlock is the core issue since it leaves the child "without a stable family structure in place to care for [them]."[46] Walsh then declined to apologize, saying that "no-one gets canceled unless they consent to it, and they willingly play their assigned roles. Well, I do not consent, and I'm not going to play the game".[47] LGBTQ Nation accused Walsh of hypocrisy for defending teenage pregnancies while opposing transgender teenagers.[45]
LGBT issues
Walsh is an outspoken opponent of the LGBT movement, specifically the transgender community.[8][48]
In June 2015, Walsh condemned the U.S. Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which ruled that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed the right to marriage for same-sex couples, arguing that "a union between two homosexuals is not, never has been, and never will be a legitimate marriage", while insinuating that the ruling will set marriage to become "an institution populated by all forms of depravity and corruption".[49][50][third-party source needed]
In February 2021, after a Gallup poll showed a sharp increase of people who identify as LGBT, especially bisexual and transgender, in Generation Z compared to previous generations, Walsh accused "the media, Hollywood, and the school system" of recruiting children into the LGBT community. Other commentators quoted by PinkNews argued that Walsh was wrong, attributing the increase to different factors, including an easing of social stigmas among younger people.[51]
Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, Walsh accused President Joe Biden of feminizing the U.S. military and recruiting lesbians who he said "can't do three pushups", and said that it was "not a coincidence that [Russia's invasion] happened after Biden spent his first year in office focusing primarily on wokeness".[52]
The New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg wrote that Walsh's commentary, as well as that of other right-wing commentators, have caused an increase of anti-LGBT violence and sentiment in the United States.[53] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) described Walsh as one of the "peddlers of fear and disinformation about LGBTQ people" in the wake of the Club Q mass shooting in November 2022.[54] Walsh had previously said opposing all-age drag events was like fighting cancer,[30] and "just like cancer, stopping it is not a gentle or a painless process".[53][55] Following the shooting, Walsh lambasted critics of his rhetoric as "soulless demons" and "evil to the core", accusing them of using the shooting to "blackmail us into accepting the castration and sexualization of children".[56][57] He also rhetorically asked those on the left who felt that "the drag queen-child combination" would lead to "violent backlash" from right-wingers, "if it's causing this much chaos and violence, why do you insist on continuing to do it?"[58][59] Jeet Heer from The Nation described Walsh's comments, along with those of a few other right-wing figures, as "implicitly a threat. The right is trying to create a new lynching culture, with LGBTQ people as the target."[59]
Transgender issues
Walsh speaking at the 2022 AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona
Walsh has repeatedly opposed the transgender community,[8] notably with his children's book Johnny the Walrus,[8] his documentary What Is a Woman?,[60] and campaigns involving hospitals and schools.[9][61] Walsh and his campaigns are sometimes described as anti-trans and transphobic.[23][62][63][26] Progressive magazine The New Republic named Walsh "Transphobe of the Year" in 2022, saying he "has made a name for himself by demonizing medical professionals and pushing conspiracy theories about 'grooming' and pedophilia in the LGBTQ community".[23] Walsh has referred to being transgender as a "delusion" and a "mental illness",[64] and has compared giving hormone treatments and gender reassignment surgery for transgender youth to child molestation and rape. In May 2021, Walsh called doctors who perform gender-reassignment surgeries for transgender youth "Nazi scientist-evil", "pedophiles", and "plastic surgeons basically acting like Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre".[65][8] Walsh's views are in opposition to the stance of leading American medical groups, which have established guidelines to treat transgender youth; those groups and some research say that denying such care can lead to higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues.[25][9]
Walsh rented an apartment in Virginia for one day in 2021 to qualify to speak out against the Loudoun County School Board for allowing transgender students the use of restrooms matching their gender identity.[61] During his speech, which he later featured in his film What is a Woman?, Walsh said: "You are all child abusers. You prey upon impressionable children and indoctrinate them into your insane ideological cult, a cult which holds many fanatical views but none so deranged as the idea that boys are girls and girls are boys."[63]
In January 2022, Twitter suspended Walsh's account for 12 hours for tweets it deemed as hateful content against transgender people.[66][better source needed] In October 2022, after business magnate Elon Musk acquired Twitter, Inc., Walsh encouraged his followers to misgender transgender people, writing that "we have made huge strides against the trans agenda", and that the acquisition, which he called "the liberation of Twitter", will allow them to "ramp up our efforts even more".[27]
In November 2022, Walsh was challenged as a guest on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience for suggesting that "maybe millions of kids" had been put onto puberty blockers. Producer Jamie Vernon interjected and stated that only 4,780 children had been put on puberty blockers within the past five years. Walsh lowered his guess to "hundreds of thousands" and said he "could be wrong," adding, "who are you gonna trust when they're telling you the numbers?"[22]
Johnny the Walrus
Main article: Johnny the Walrus
On March 29, 2022, DW Books published Walsh's children's book Johnny the Walrus, which compares being trans to identifying as a walrus.[8]
LGBTQ Nation denounced the book, calling it "anti-transgender" and a mockery of transgender youth, while PinkNews referred to it as "hateful" and "transphobic."[67][68] Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the book "hilarious".[67] Conservative news website TheBlaze called the book "an effort to push back against radical gender ideology which defies biological reality".[68] The satirist Andrew Doyle, writing in UnHerd, praised the book for mocking the "indoctrination of the young".[69] It was listed as the bestselling LGBT+ book on Amazon in December 2021 before Amazon recategorized it to Political and Social Commentary. Walsh called the recategorization "an unconscionable attack on gay rights and a horrific example of homophobia and gay erasure". Target removed the book from its online bookstore on the same day.[70]
What Is a Woman?

Walsh's online documentary film What is a Woman?, released by The Daily Wire on June 1, 2022, at the beginning of Pride Month, featured Walsh asking the question "what is a woman?" to various people, and arguing for his own views.[76] Walsh had asked the same question in other appearances, including a Dr. Phil show on January 19, 2022, with transgender and non-binary people.[77][78] On June 14, Walsh published a book based on the documentary, entitled What is a Woman?: One Man's Journey to Answer the Question of a Generation through DW Books.[79]
The documentary received a divided reception from critics and political commentators. Among those who praised it were Karol Markowicz of the New York Post, who commended the documentary for "expos[ing] the lunacy of pro-trans extremism."[80] Detractors, such as AJ Erkert of Science-Based Medicine and Erin Rook of LGBTQ Nation, denounced the film as "propaganda," "transphobic lies," and "science denying." Erkert compared the documentary to the antiscience films Vaxxed and Expelled.[81][63]
Eventbrite banned screenings of the documentary due to the service not permitting content that promotes "hate, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself". Walsh denied that the documentary was hate speech and criticized Eventbrite for permitting the screening of drag shows that allow children in attendance.[82]
In February 2022, Eli Erlick, a transgender activist, alleged that Walsh had invited dozens of people to participate in the documentary under false pretenses.[83][60] Kataluna Enriquez, Fallon Fox, and other transgender public figures corroborated the account. Walsh created a group called the Gender Unity Project, which the activists said attempted to lure them into participating in the film.[60][84] The Gender Unity Project's Twitter account and website were taken down shortly after the allegations went public.[85] Erlick claimed there were at least 50 other recruited interviewees, including a 14-year-old transgender girl.[85][86][62]
As a part of Walsh's What is a Woman? college tour, he screened the documentary at University of Houston on October 13, 2022, by invitation from Young Conservatives of Texas. While 435 people attended, police estimated 400 protesters—including trans rights activists—as well as counter-protesters outside.[26][87] A screening by Walsh at the University of Wisconsin, sponsored mostly by Young America's Foundation, was also met by protesters.[88][64]
Campaign against Eli Erlick
In August 2022, Walsh accused transgender activist Eli Erlick of being a "confessed drug dealer" targeting children because of a deleted Instagram post in which she proposed sending surplus hormone therapy prescriptions—including hundreds of doses of testosterone, estradiol, and spironolactone—to transgender youth for free within states attempting to criminalize transgender health care for minors. Walsh reported her to the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she was a PhD candidate. When the university did not respond to Walsh's report within a day, he said it was "time to escalate" and shared the contact information of various leaders of the university, while threatening to further escalate to the Board of Trustees, the university's donors, and to organize a protest on campus if the university continued to not respond.[89][10] The university said it "strongly supports transgender members of our community" and "takes allegations of illegal activity seriously, harassment included". Some conservative commentators reported Erlick to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.[10] Erlick never faced investigation.[90][third-party source needed]
Following Walsh's statements Erlick reported harassment on social media, including messages with anti-LGBT slurs and threats of physical violence. Erlick accused Walsh of "profiting from the moral panic over transness", "attacking free speech itself", and stochastic terrorism, which is incitement of violence against a target through mass media with plausible deniability. Walsh denied that his actions constituted stochastic terrorism and argued that sharing public contact information is not harassment.[10]
Campaigns against hospitals providing transgender health care
Further information: Boston Children's Hospital § Harassment campaign against gender-affirming care, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center § Transgender clinic
In 2022, Walsh campaigned against hospitals providing transgender health care for youth.[9][91] Boston Children's Hospital, one of the hospitals denounced by Walsh and other right-wing figures, reported harassment, death threats, and a hoax bomb threat in August 2022 that led to a woman's arrest in September.[9][25][92]
In September 2022, Walsh made accusations against another hospital, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), and its transgender clinic in Nashville, Tennessee.[93][9] The New Republic described accusations by Walsh as "cherry-picking informational content" and noted that Walsh had singled out doctors by name.[91] Walsh said on his show that VUMC doctors "castrate" and "drug and mutilate" children.[94] He said on Twitter that VUMC considered transgender health care a "money-maker", that it threatened "consequences" for medical staff who declined to provide care, and that it tried to "enforce compliance" from hesitant parents of transgender youth.[93][9] Walsh criticized VUMC's "trans buddies" program and called its patient advocates "trans activists".[95] Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and other Republicans in the state called for an investigation into the hospital.[93][95] Walsh tweeted about meeting with Tennessee lawmakers on a bill to shut down the clinic.[91] VUMC reported harassment and threats against its staff, and there were calls for murders and arrests of VUMC doctors in far-right groups on Reddit and 4chan.[9] Vanderbilt took down its webpage about the clinic and said that Walsh had "misrepresent[ed] facts about the care" it provides.[9] On October 7, 2022, VUMC announced that it would pause gender-affirming surgeries for minors and review its practices.[96] Since 2018, VUMC provided an average of five such surgeries to minors annually. All patients were over 16-years-old and obtained parental consent. None have received genital surgery.[96]
Walsh spoke at a Nashville rally organized by The Daily Wire called "The Rally to End Child Mutilation" on October 21, 2022, in opposition to transgender health care for minors. The rally, whose headline speakers included Tennessee Republican state senator Jack Johnson and representative William Lamberth, United States Senator Marsha Blackburn, and former United States Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, drew between 1,500 and 3,000 people, including supporters and protesters.[97][11]
Politicians
After South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem permitted businesses to require a COVID-19 vaccine for their employees, Walsh criticized her by writing that she was only considered a frontrunner for the 2024 United States presidential election because of her physical attractiveness.[2] After Noem called his comment misogynistic, Walsh said he had no regrets but would "accept apologies from all of the performative idiots pretending to be offended by it".[98
In 2022, left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters for America uncovered audio recordings from the 2010s that contained Walsh discussing teenage pregnancy on the radio show The Matt and Crank Program, saying that "the problem is not, per se, teenage pregnancy—it's unwed pregnancy", that "Girls between the ages of like 17 and 24 is when they're technically most fertile", and that society had only recently deemed being a teenager "too young to start a family".[45] After receiving criticism for these comments, Walsh defended his monologue, arguing that he was trying to communicate an uncontroversial historical observation, that because "people married young and stayed married" teenage pregnancy wasn't considered an issue.

Mitch, the dude who made the video is lying to you.
No, Bud Light’s VP for marketing hasn’t been fired. Her Linkedin profile still describes her as the vice president of the brand and the “first female to lead the largest beer brand in the industry.”
Moreover, there aren’t any official reports or press releases from Budweiser confirming that she has lost her job.
Alissa recently sat down for a chat on the Make Yourself At Home podcast, where she spoke at length about her role in transforming Bud Light as a brand, while touching upon personal aspects of life such as surviving cancer and having children through surrogacy.
Do you guys not even check the markets before you post bullshit like this??
Anheuser Busch is down about 1 dollar since they put him/her on their Bud Light cans.

Anheuser-Busch Stock Charges to New Highs. Here's the Trade.
Anheuser-Busch stock recently hit new 52-week highs despite controversy surrounding its Bud Light brand.

With all the controversy surrounding Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) - Get Free Report, the parent of Bud Light, you wouldn’t know it by looking at the stock price.
Through April 7 Anheuser-Busch shares had fallen in four straight sessions -- but by a grand total of 0.63%.
The stock ticked down on Monday as well, lower by 3% at last glance. But the slip came after a 10-day win streak, which vaulted Anheuser-Busch stock to 52-week highs.
The brewer on March 2 reported solid earnings, rallied initially, then struggled for upside traction. But more impressive has been the recent rally, which came amid controversy about the company’s latest LGBTQ initiatives.
All this said, Anheuser-Busch stock continues to outperform the shares of its peers, like Molson Coors (TAP) - Get Free Report and Boston Beer (SAM) - Get Free Report.
Last week, Anheuser-Busch stock was consolidating after a big rally. The shares climbed about 15% from the March 15 low to the March 31 high.
With today’s move lower, the bulls are wondering where support may come into play.
On the upside, the bulls would like to see the stock regain the $65 level and thus the 10-day moving average.
If it can do that, the recent consolidation zone is back in play and it will have the bulls sniffing for new 52-week highs.

Conversely, more weakness could send the stock back into a key area on the chart.
That zone is around $62 to $62.50. In that range we find prior resistance, as well as the rising 21-day and 10-week moving averages. If the stock has a quick knee-jerk dip into this area, traders should pay close attention to see whether buyers step in.
If they don't, the door might open down to the $58 area, which was a support levelseveral times over the past few months.
Given BUD's recent headlines, as well as the price actions of its peers, the bulls have to be impressed with the way Anheuser-Busch stock has been trading. Let’s see whether it can continue its uptrend from here.
Lollo, the stock charged and then fell slightly in a correction. Losing a $1.00 when share price is around $60.00 is just a mild correction. Mitch's crap is suggesting that the company no longer sells any product and it's stock is worthless.
You guys are so desperate and so sad to feel important!
June 01, 2016 Anheuser Busch was trading at $130/share.
Now its trading at about $65/share.
So in 7 years its lost half its market value.
This transgender stunt has neither hurt them nor increased their stock in the last week or so.
Its basically done nothing.
What might hurt them is when their Q2 sales report comes out, which will be in June or July of 2023 sometime

But the dates that you're quoting (March 15 to March 31) were before they put Dylan Mulvaney on their cans, so its completely irrelevant
She didnt start promoting the Bud Light brand until April 1st.
Since then Anheuser Busch has dropped 1 dollar so.
So AB got neither a bump nor a big loss from all this.
Basically unchanged.

Earlier this year, Bud had a share price of $44.51 and a peak of $67.01. It's now trading steadily around $65.00.
The Mulvaney beer ad has done nothing.
Many conservative commentators, politicians, and celebrities participated in the boycott. One famous instance occurred on April 4, where conservative country singer Kid Rock filmed himself shooting three cases of Bud Light with an assault rifle while wearing a MAGA hat, exclaiming "Fuck Bud Light and fuck Anheuser-Busch."[15] Later, a two-decade-old photograph of Kid Rock chugging a bottle of Bud Light while sitting next to a drag queen on September 23, 2003, resurfaced.[16] The video has over 1.6 million views as of April 11.[17]

Kid Rock Is Getting Clowned After An Old Photo Of Him Drinking Bud Light With A Drag Queen Emerges

Kid Rock drinks light beer, real Men don't drink light beer, and definitely not Budweiser, Bud Light is for drag Queens, Kid Rock needs to take a long look in the mirror.
