Matthew Walsh is an American right-wing political commentator and author.[1][2] Walsh hosts 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 What Is a Woman?.

Walsh is a former talk radio host.[3][4][5] He has been an outspoken critic of the LGBTQ+ community, especially the trans community.[6]

Career

Walsh began his career as a talk radio co-host of The Matt and Crank Program at WZBH 93.5 FM in Georgetown, Delaware from 2010 to 2011 and then moved to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with WGMD 92.7 FM where he was fired within the month. Then, he moved to Lexington, Kentucky, with NewsRadio 630 WLAP in 2012 and left in December of 2013.[3][4][5] He worked for The Blaze TV starting in October 2014.[7] He was also a contributor to HuffPost[8] and began writing for The Daily Wire in October 2017.[9] He has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight,[10][11] The Ingraham Angle,[12] Fox and Friends,[13][14] and Dr. Phil.[15]

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[1][2][16][17] and conservative.[18][19] His commentary is sometimes described by media outlets as trolling.[20][21][22] He has described himself as a "theocratic fascist” in his Twitter biography.[23][24]

Walsh has argued that the trial of Kenosha unrest shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted, was malicious prosecution.[25] He has argued for restricting pornography and supports banning abortions.[26][27] Walsh 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".[28]

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 the mermaid should be translucent. Walsh's commentary was mocked on CNN.[29] Later he said that "Translucent rights are human rights".[30] 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."[31][32]

In 2022, left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters for America uncovered footage from the 2010s that showed 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".[33] After receiving criticism for these comments, Walsh refused 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".[34] LGBTQ Nation accused Walsh of hypocrisy for defending teenage pregnancies while opposing transgender teenagers.[33]

Walsh is an outspoken critic of the LGBTQ+ movement; and specifically the transgender community.[6] He has called LGBTQ+ people "groomers" and "obsessed with children's genitalia."[27] 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.[35]

Transgender issues

Walsh has opposed transgender ideology,[6] notably with his children's book Johnny the Walrus,[6] his documentary What Is a Woman?,[36] and campaigns involving hospitals and schools.[37][38] Walsh and his campaigns are sometimes described as anti-trans[39][40][41] and transphobic.[42] Walsh has compared giving hormone treatments and gender reassignment surgery for transgender youth to child molestation and rape on the basis of children unable to consent. 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."[43][6] Walsh's views are in opposition to the stance of leading American medical groups, asserting that mental health issues arise in children when they are told transitioning will instead alleviate them. However, American medical groups established guidelines to treat transgender youth; as these groups and some research claim that denying such care can lead to higher rates of mental health problems, including suicide.[17][37]

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.[38] 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."[42]

In January 2022, Twitter suspended Walsh's account for violating its policies on hateful content, after he tweeted what Twitter deemed offensive speech against the transgender community.[44]

In 2022, Walsh campaigned against hospitals providing transgender health care for youth.[37][45] 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.[37][17][46]

In September 2022, Walsh made accusations against another hospital, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), and its transgender clinic in Nashville, Tennessee.[47][37] The New Republic described accusations by Walsh as "cherry-picking informational content" and noted that Walsh had singled out doctors by name.[45] Walsh said on his show that VUMC doctors "castrate", "drug and mutilate" children.[48] 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.[47][37] Walsh criticized VUMC's "trans buddies" program and called its patient advocates "trans activists".[49] Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and other Republicans in the state called for an investigation into the hospital.[47][49] Walsh tweeted about meeting with Tennessee lawmakers on a bill to shut down the clinic.[45] 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.[37] Vanderbilt took down its webpage about the clinic and said that Walsh had "misrepresent[ed] facts about the care" it provides.[37] On October 7, 2022, VUMC announced that it would pause gender-affirming surgeries for minors and review its practices.[50] 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.[50]

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 gender-affirming care for minors. The rally, attended by Tennessee Republican state senators and representatives, United States Senator Marsha Blackburn, and former United States Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, drew between 1,500 to 3,000 people, including supporters and protesters.[51][52] Later that month Walsh encouraged users on Twitter to misgender trans people.[40]

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? So that's—that's one of the issues with all this stuff."[53]

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.[6]

LGBTQ Nation denounced the book, calling it "anti-transgender" and a mockery of transgender youth, while PinkNews referred to it as "hateful" and "transphobic."[54][55] Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the book "hilarious".[54] Conservative news website TheBlaze called the book "an effort to push back against radical gender ideology which defies biological reality".[55] The satirist Andrew Doyle, writing in UnHerd, praised the book for mocking the "indoctrination of the young".[56] It was listed as the best-selling 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.[57]

What Is a Woman?

Main article: What is a Woman?
Logo for 'What Is A Woman?'

Walsh's online documentary 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 strangers and experts.[58][59][60][61][62] Walsh has asked the same question in other appearances, including a Dr. Phil show on January 19, 2022, with transgender and non-binary people.[63][64] 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.[65]

The documentary received a divided reception from critics and political commentators. Among those who praised it include Karol Markiewicz of the New York Post, who commended the documentry for "expos[ing] the lunacy of pro-trans extremism."[66] 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." AJ Erkert compared the documetary to the antiscience films Vaxxed and Expelled.[67][68]

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.[69]

In February 2022, Eli Erlick, a transgender activist, alleged that Walsh had invited dozens of people to participate in the documentary under false pretenses.[70][36] 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.[36][71] The Gender Unity Project's Twitter account and website were taken down shortly after the allegations went public.[72] Erlick claimed there were at least 50 other recruited interviewees, including a 14-year-old transgender girl.[72][73][74]

As a part of Walsh's What is a Woman? college tour, he screened the documentary at University of Houston on October 13, 2022. While 435 people attended, police estimated 400 protesters—including trans rights activists—as well as counter-protesters outside.[75][39][76]

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 2024 Republican presidential contender because of her physical attractiveness.[1] 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".[77]

When U.S. representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted photos of her grandmother's house in Puerto Rico that was unrepaired in 2021, four years after Hurricane Maria, and blamed former President Donald Trump for not doing enough to help the recovery, Walsh criticized Ocasio-Cortez for not providing the money herself. He launched a crowdfunding effort to pay for the repairs and raised $100,000 in the first 24 hours, but the grandmother's family refused the funds and GoFundMe shut the effort down.[78] Ocasio-Cortez responded to the criticism by saying, "My abuela is okay ... but instead of only caring for mine & letting others suffer, I'm calling attention to the systemic injustices you seem totally fine w/ in having a US colony."[78]

Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, Walsh jokingly stated that "My huge fear right now is that our military hasn't had enough diversity training to prepare them for this moment."[79]

Event-cancelation

St. Francis Xavier College Church, at Saint Louis University, canceled a speech by Walsh that it had planned to co-host with Young Americans for Freedom in December 2021. The church said it had decided that Walsh's "provocative positions on immigration, on communities of color, on Muslims, and on members of the LGBTQ community" were "in contradiction to Jesus' great commandment to love God and love our neighbor".[80] Walsh spoke at a different St. Louis venue.[81]

Personal life

Walsh lives in Nashville, Tennessee,[82] and is married to Alissa Walsh.[83] They have four children.[84] Walsh is a practicing Catholic.[85]
