<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> slammed left-wing media coverage of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-least-5-dead-18-wounded-in-mass-shooting-at-colorado-gay-nightclub-white_check_mark-eyes-heavy_plus_sign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado shooting</a> for ignoring the mass shooter&#8217;s alleged non-binary identity.
Appearing on &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; Wednesday, Walsh slammed the left-wing media for ignoring or trying to downplay the fact that the alleged shooter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-shooter-identifies-as-non-binary-uses-they-them-pronouns-court-documents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identifies as non-binary</a>. Because the left-wing media has put so much stock into transgender identity, they cannot ignore the shooter identifying as trans, by their own rules, and must be held to account.
&#8220;Well, I mean, we’re all owed apologies, but — I’ve seen these people enough to know that I’m not going to sit around and hold my breath waiting for the apology,&#8221; Walsh told Carlson. &#8220;I think it’s just really kind of amazing to watch, especially &#8230; CNN, where they immediately just deny this person’s self-identity. And I think the point that we want to get across is if you’re on the Left, okay, you can’t do that. That is not available to you. You’re not allowed to do that, by your own precedent, by your own philosophy, by the rules that you have set, and we&#8217;re gonna hold you to them.&#8221;
&#8220;Now you and I, Tucker, we&#8217;re allowed to say that this mass shooter who calls himself &#8216;non-binary,&#8217; we&#8217;re allowed to say, &#8216;that’s nonsense. Non-binary isn&#8217;t even a thing, you can’t even be that,’” Walsh continued. &#8220;But on the Left, they’ve made it clear that the only evidence that needs to be provided in order to prove that someone is non-binary is they say it. And what they&#8217;ve also told us repeatedly is that the idea that somebody would adopt one of these identities in a self-serving way, like for example, a convicted male felon who&#8217;s in prison who all of a sudden discovers his inner female identity. To speculate that maybe he&#8217;s doing that so that he could have access to female inmates in women’s prisons, we&#8217;re told that, &#8216;no, you can’t speculate, that’s an awful thing to suggest.’”
“So that’s them [the Left] saying that, which means they’re stuck with this. As far as they’re concerned, this person is nonbinary. Now, what is he actually? I don&#8217;t know, I think it&#8217;s pretty clear he&#8217;s just a crazy guy. That’s what actually happened,” Walsh said.
&#8220;What we need to realize with the left-wing media is that when there&#8217;s a mass shooting, if we don&#8217;t know everything about the person&#8217;s life and we haven&#8217;t seen all of their social media posts within the first two hours after the shooting, it almost always means that this is not a right-winger,&#8221; Walsh went on. &#8220;Like, if it&#8217;s a right-winger who committed the attack, we&#8217;re gonna know everything about them immediately. But it was very suspicious and conspicuous that up until two, three days pass, and we knew almost nothing about this guy. All we had was speculation from the media, and then this shoe drops telling us that &#8216;oh, actually, he identifies as nonbinary.&#8217; So, that’s not a coincidence. They gave themselves time to get their preferred narrative out before the truth got out.&#8221;
&#8220;The left is determined to politicize these things immediately and use them as political ammunition,&#8221; he added. &#8220;What it means is that we can’t have any actual, needed conversations about why this stuff happens. As you point out, pharmaceuticals. Also, one of the few details we know about this guy is that he comes from a broken home, his mother has warrants out for her arrest, his father is estranged, he&#8217;s like a porn star drug smuggler. I mean he comes from this tumultuous broken home, which, of course, doesn&#8217;t begin to excuse it, but it does indicate that when kids are raised in that kind of environment, it makes it much more likely that they&#8217;re gonna lash out violently.”
“That’s a conversation we should really be having about the effects of broken homes and the disintegration of the nuclear family, and how that contributes to violence,” Walsh continued. “But we can&#8217;t talk about that, because as soon as the Left realizes that they can’t use it for their political advantage, we don’t talk about it anymore and it goes away. And that’s why this story is going away as far as media is concerned.&#8221;

Cenk Uygur&#8217;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM64v82pKM4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest unhinged rant</a> saw the Young Turks host attack Catholic priests, accuse the right-wing of cheering on pedophilia, and make a bizarre supposition about why Tim Pool wears a wool cap.
The volatile leftist&#8217;s diatribe on his internet show was triggered by Saturday night&#8217;s mass shooting in a Colorado Springs gay bar, which he erroneously said Pool and other conservatives applauded. Several liberals have claimed conservative opposition to pedophilia, radical gender theory, and grooming children through drag shows is putting LGBT lives at risk.
“The right-wing loves pedophiles,” Uygur said. &#8220;There’s no end to the depravity of right-wing media.”
A particular observation by Pool in response to the shooting, which left five dead, seemed to set off Uygur. Initial speculation swirled that the suspect, whose lawyers have just revealed identifies as &#8220;non-binary,&#8221; launched his attack in Club Q because it was set to host a drag show for children the next day.
“We shouldn’t tolerate pedophiles grooming kids. Club Q had a grooming event,” Pool said, before suggesting the challenge facing decent people is “how to prevent the violence and stop the grooming.”
Uygur took the comment to mean that Pool was somehow justifying violence.
“He’s a monstrous right-winger,” Uygur shouted. “He’s a terrible, terrible person. [He thinks] &#8216;all gay people are pedophiles and groomers and we should all attack them and do all these horrible things so we can goad our lunatic audience.’ And yes, Tim Pool, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, you all have lunatics in your audience and you weaponize them and you know it.&#8221;
“I’m sick of these right-wingers,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Look at it. They’re almost celebrating it! I mean, he nearly brought pom-poms to the shooting!”
Rage against pedophilia, Uygur said, should instead be directed at the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America.
“What do we know about the giant cases of pedophilia in this country?&#8221; he asked his audience. &#8220;Number one is Catholic priests, one of the most conservative professions in America.
“And the right-wing’s like, ‘Yes! I love how they molest the little kids like that! Go get ‘em, Boy Scouts! Go get ‘em, priests!’” he charged.
“They love the Boy Scouts. A nest of vipers and pedophiles and groomers, okay? And the right-wing’s like, ‘Yes! The Boy Scouts! I love how they molest the little kids like that! Go get ‘em Boy Scouts! Go get ‘em priests!’ Tell me I’m wrong. You guys love the Boy Scouts and priests. You never criticize them.”
Uygur brought the pedophilia fulmination back to his initial target, Pool, with a strange explanation for why the YouTube and podcast star often sports a ski cap.
“The reason Tim Pool wears a beanie is because he’s trying to contain the pedophilia that’s in his head,&#8221; Uygur said. &#8220;That’s why he’s always talking about it. He’s seeing it everywhere. Why? Because he’s projecting.”
However bizarre Uygur&#8217;s attack on Pool, priests, and the Boy Scouts may seem, he will have to work harder to top his most unhinged rant.
“If I were the benevolent dictator of the world, I would legalize bestiality where you are giving — you’re pleasuring the animal,&#8221; Uygur said in 2013. &#8220;You see what I’m saying?”

Daily Wire personalities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> teamed up on a power play against the NHL, dragging the for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nhl-dragged-for-going-woke-promoting-trans-hockey-tournament" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embracing the transgender craze</a>.
Both podcast hosts took aim at the league Tuesday after it tweeted, “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.” The pro hockey confederation seems to be the last of the major sports leagues to go woke, despite a fan base that almost certainly disagrees.
“The NHL becomes the latest organization to totally debase itself for the sake of pandering to people who aren&#8217;t their customers and never will be,” Walsh tweeted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The league sent the message out in support of an event dubbed the Team Trans Draft Tournament, which took place over the weekend in Middleton, Wisconsin, and included only <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/another-womens-sport-sees-trans-athletes-rise-to-top-and-competitors-are-speaking-out/">trans and non-binary</a> players.
“The NHL is proud to support this past weekend’s Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin,” another NHL tweet read. “This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players, with around 80 folks participating! #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHLPride.”
Shapiro marveled at the league’s desperation to prove its wokeness.
“Amazing to watch sports leagues that rely on extraordinary performance by biological men (as well as the viewership of disproportionately male audiences) parrot the idiotic anti-biological garbage of the woke coterie,” Shapiro wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The NHL drew more mockery and memes on Twitter before turning off replies.
“If trans men are men why aren’t they just playing in a men’s league?” <a href="https://twitter.com/MidnightMitch/status/1595131662828212224" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> @midnightmitch.
“The NHL out here trying to overtake the NFL as the worst run sports league on Planet Earth,” wrote Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott.
Other sports leagues have gone all in on the LGBT trend. A <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/08/the-mlbs-unseemly-support-for-youth-gender-transitions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review investigation</a> found that at least 20 of Major League Baseball&#8217;s 30 teams have promoted or funded groups that advocate or are directly involved in child gender transitions. The NFL, which this year introduced its first transgender cheerleader, Justine Lindsay, of the Carolina Panthers, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-football-is-gay-nfl-releases-pro-lgbt-ad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released an ad last year</a> in support of Carl Nassib, the first active player to come out as gay.
“The NFL family is proud of Carl for courageously sharing his truth today,&#8221; said NFL Commissioner Riger Goodell. &#8220;Representation matters. We share his hope that someday soon statements like his will no longer be newsworthy as we march toward full equality for the LGBTQ+ community. We wish Carl the best of luck this coming season.”
The NBA famously pulled the 2017 All-Star game out of Charlotte, N.C., after Tar Heel State lawmakers passed a law banning biological males from using women&#8217;s public restrooms.

Both Shapiro, on his popular podcast and radio show, and Walsh, who has been at the forefront of the fight to protect body dysmorphic children from transgender medical treatments, decried the shooting that left five dead inside Club Q in Colorado Springs. A 22-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting and police have dubbed it a hate crime. But both Daily Wire hosts rejected claims conservatives are to blame for the actions of a violent lunatic.
“The line that is going here is that if you really wish to prevent violence against gay clubs, this means you have to support every element of the progressive agenda or you are complicit,” Shapiro said. “And this is a game that only gets played by one side of the political aisle again and again and again.”

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among those blaming conservatives for the violence, which came a day before Club Q was to host a drag show for children. She blamed “rhetoric” from Republicans including former President Trump for a host of mass shootings, including one in May inside a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/buffalo-mass-shooting-suspect-had-been-flagged-as-troubled-a-year-ago-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buffalo supermarket</a>, the 2018 attack inside a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-complicity-on-tree-of-life-synagogue-shooting-anniversary-biden-admin-condemns-heinous-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pittsburgh synagogue</a>, and another inside a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/racist-charleston-butcher-dylan-roof-i-do-not-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charleston, South Carolina, church</a> in 2015.
“And now after an anti-LGBT+ campaign, Colorado Springs. Connect the dots, GOP,” she tweeted.
Walsh, on his own popular podcast, said many on the Left appear to relish mass shootings, given how quickly some move to politicize them.
“Exploitation starts immediately,” said Walsh, star of the hit documentary, “<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/wiaw/subscribe?utm_campaign=wiaw&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;cid=wiaw&amp;mid=b&amp;xid=0&amp;utm_term=daily%20wire%20what%20is%20a%20woman&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;hsa_acc=6411461344&amp;hsa_cam=429594023&amp;hsa_grp=1326012504412860&amp;hsa_ad=&amp;hsa_src=o&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-82876595724474:loc-190&amp;hsa_kw=daily%20wire%20what%20is%20a%20woman&amp;hsa_mt=e&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;msclkid=241f118d061f1aa7906b72f6ebf42e7e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>” “There&#8217;s no period of mourning, no space given for grief. There certainly isn&#8217;t a moment taken to let the dust settle and figure out what actually happened. That&#8217;s because it doesn&#8217;t matter what actually happened. All that matters is what they can say about what happened, what they can you know, do with it, how they can use it.”
Shapiro noted that neither party is free of violent extremists, and acts such as Saturday’s mass shooting are the fault of their perpetrators, not an entire side in a broad debate.

“When a Black Lives Matter fellow traveler murders Dallas police officers in 2015, that is not the fault of Barack Obama,” Shapiro said. “It&#8217;s actually not even the fault of Black Lives Matter. When a Bernie Sanders supporter shoots up a congressional baseball practice, that&#8217;s not the fault of Bernie Sanders.&#8221;
“The Left has no problem blaming tragedies like the one in Colorado Springs on their political opponents,” he added. “According to them, anyone who doesn&#8217;t support their radical social agenda is complicit. And yet they wonder why society is more polarized than ever.”

The Daily Wire will not name the suspect in the Colorado Springs attack as part of a policy aimed at depriving mass shooters of the notoriety they often crave. Although his motives and politics remain unclear for now, police say he was known to them, and had threatened to bomb his mother’s house last year.
Shapiro said the recurring pattern of people with known violent tendencies causing murder and mayhem should be the focus of society, not tying senseless crimes to political motivations.
“This sort of game is really ugly,” he said. “It&#8217;s really hideous.”

UC Berkeley is well known for the left-wing tilt of its campus culture and its history as the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-berkeley-protest-shapiro-20170914-htmlstory.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">birthplace of the free speech</a> movement — although in more recent years, it has become a well known battleground in the culture war, as students and local agitators have repeatedly attempted to prevent conservative speakers, with protests that have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-female-student-assaulted-harassed-robbed-by-mob-at-coulter-speech-get-the-f-out-of-here-b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sometimes</a> escalated to violence. Roughly 100 protesters gathered outside the event, but no serious incidents occurred.
Before the event began, Young America&#8217;s Foundation, a conservative student organization that sponsored Walsh&#8217;s speaking tour, interviewed several students about their thoughts on Walsh&#8217;s appearance.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a difference between free speech and hate speech,&#8221; one young woman said. &#8220;If it is free and it is, like, what you believe, then that&#8217;s great. But if it&#8217;s against, like, the safety and health of other people, then it&#8217;s not right.&#8221; Hate speech does not exist in the United States as a legal concept, and what is often considered “hate speech” in other countries is protected in America by the First Amendment.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
We toured around UC Berkeley to ask students how they felt about <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mattwalshblog</a> speaking tonight. It did not disappoint. Here&#39;s what they said: <a href="https://t.co/cXYl006tGs">pic.twitter.com/cXYl006tGs</a>
&mdash; YAF (@yaf) <a href="https://twitter.com/yaf/status/1593420689104478208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
At the start of Walsh&#8217;s lecture, he quipped about the city&#8217;s issues with drug abuse and sanitation. “The thing I really loved about this area is that you can always find your way downtown, even if you don&#8217;t have a map or GPS, because you can just follow the stench of weed and fecal matter &#8230; this is public speaking 101, to start by insulting the host city.&#8221;
Walsh also noted that it was “providential” that he came to San Francisco to discuss the subject of gender ideology, as earlier this week, the city announced its “Guaranteed Income For Trans People&#8221; or GIFT, program, which will offer a select group of transgender individuals $1,200 a month because members of the trans community are &#8220;disproportionately impacted by poverty.&#8221;
&#8220;We already know that trans people are disproportionately affected by everything, really. &#8230; If there was an apocalyptic asteroid strike, the very last news report filed for CNN would have the headline, &#8216;Asteroid Apocalypse At Hand: Trans &amp; BIPOC Most Affected.’”
Walsh also noted that gender confused individuals tend to have higher rates of mental illness and substance abuse, which he argues is a better explanation for their higher levels of poverty than alleged discrimination, given that the disparity exists in a place like San Francisco where the social attitudes toward such people are exceptionally welcoming.
Walsh also noted that the official government application form for the GIFT program includes 15 sets of gender pronouns such as ve/ver/vis and a sexual orientation of “f*****” (a slur for homosexuals who would seemingly be covered under the also listed “gay” orientation). Walsh noted other seeming redundancies in the list of 97 gender identities, such as “trans woman” and “woman of transgender experience.”
&#8220;What are these pronouns, what do they signify, what does it mean to be a ve/ver/vis? No one can really explain that.&#8221; Walsh said.
Walsh structured the bulk of his lecture around four common rebuttals to his perspective fielded by advocates of gender theory.
1. Sex and Gender are not the same
Walsh holds that the conceptual difference between the two categories has been deliberately obfuscated by such phrases as “trans women are women,” and that gender was first extracted from sex and then elevated above it in a rhetorical sleight of hand, and that “gender” was, in his mind, a useless concept outside of the study of language and the “gender” of certain words. Walsh also argued that the natural variation in human behavior in personality and self perception is better encapsulated by personality.
2. You say that “women” can get pregnant; what about women who can&#8217;t get pregnant?
Walsh noted that while some biological females, due to age or illness, cannot become pregnant, “women” are still “of the nature to get pregnant,” in the same way that it is “in the nature” of human beings to walk on two legs. Counterexamples also exist as the result of age or infirmity, but &#8220;does the existence of amputees and infants call into question the notion that human beings have two legs?&#8221;
3. The gender binary is a western construct and other cultures have more diverse beliefs about gender
Walsh spoke about his own experience outside the western bubble during his visit with the Maasai people in Kenya, noting that the idea of men getting pregnant was utterly foreign to them. Walsh also argued that while some cultures do have situations where a member of one sex “acts out” the role of the other sex in various ways, no other society has made the claim that those individuals literally are the opposite sex, making that idea a uniquely western concept, which can be traced back to a relative handful of academics in the middle of the 20th century.
4. Why do you care?
Walsh argued that this was an intellectual cop out, as the advocates of gender theory care deeply for their beliefs and want him and others to care as well, they just want him to come to more favorable conclusions. Furthermore, Walsh argued for the preeminent value of truth and stated that he was so deeply opposed to gender theory because it is simultaneously pervasive and wrong.
From there, Walsh fielded questions from the audience on a variety of topics, such as the role of theology in understanding and addressing gender-related issues, raising children in a culture largely hostile to traditional values, his controversial opinions on anime, and the “rule heavy” nature of western society as opposed to the more “duty” or “relational” based societies in other parts of the world.
A series of noteworthy exchanges surrounded the issue of publicly expressing the beliefs Walsh shared in variety of settings, including the classroom (both as an instructor and student), and interpersonal relationships with friends and family. Walsh advised that while it was unnecessary to actively antagonize people who disagree with you at work or in life, people should never run from the truth or espouse ideas that they didn&#8217;t agree with.
Most notably, Walsh had a prolonged exchange with a young man over the reliability of “around 30” recent medical studies that supported the use of “gender affirming care” as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Walsh contended that many of the studies were unreliable, due to the bias of the authors and researchers, as well issues with the methodology and sample sizes.

&#8220;Why, in your movies and your discussions, do you selectively ignore and misrepresent the recent, burgeoning medical and behavioral literature that demonstrates that gender affirming care and similar medical interventions demonstrate consistent improvements to mental health, suicidality, and general well-being?&#8221; the young man asked.
&#8220;How do you think they would have large scale, long-term studies on the effects of these drugs and these surgeries on children when we only started doing it to children at a large scale a few years ago?&#8221; Walsh responded.
The questioner pushed back, encouraging listeners to search out and read the various studies, while defending their merits and the objectivity of their authors, dismissing Walsh&#8217;s claims of bias as a “conspiracy.”
“I think you can know some things without asking for permission, sometimes from professors, to say that you know them.&#8221; Walsh responded. &#8220;And one of those things that you can know is it’s never okay to castrate a child.&#8221;

What Is A Woman

The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-truth-matters-matt-walsh-speaks-at-uw-madison/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> and podcaster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-laughs-at-leftists-declaring-theyll-leave-twitter-over-lack-of-censorship-as-biden-gets-fact-checked/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan</a> had a spirited debate Monday on the hot-button topic of gay marriage and the role of relationships officially recognized by society.
During Spotify&#8217;s &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5c6SOd05MxXpPtFKqw4y1T?si=nWomZoOURfeOwFoBp5UxdA">podcast</a>, the host asked Walsh why it is so difficult for people of opposing views of same-sex marriage to find common ground. Walsh, host of the hit documentary &#8220;<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/wiaw/subscribe?utm_campaign=wiaw&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;cid=wiaw&amp;mid=b&amp;xid=0&amp;utm_term=matt%20walsh%20what%20is%20a%20woman&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;hsa_acc=6411461344&amp;hsa_cam=429594023&amp;hsa_grp=1326012504412860&amp;hsa_ad=&amp;hsa_src=o&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-82876595724471:aud-808681081:loc-190&amp;hsa_kw=matt%20walsh%20what%20is%20a%20woman&amp;hsa_mt=e&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;msclkid=89e4c372a04317e20078a01bc14044c4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is Woman?</a>&#8221; said he believes marriage is &#8220;fundamentally a procreative male and female union.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s not really a compromise position there,&#8221; he said.
Rogan, who supports same-sex marriage, said he believes couples marry for other reasons besides procreation.
&#8220;There’s not a compromise in gay men that want to be married, love and want to formalize their bond so they can see their partner if there&#8217;s a medical emergency or if there&#8217;s a death where you assign assets to your loved one?&#8221; Rogan asked.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/wiaw/promo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO WATCH MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8220;WHAT IS A WOMAN?&#8221;</a>
The pair went back and forth as Rogan noted that the important thing about having conversations by people who have &#8220;differing perspectives&#8221; is to have a &#8220;civil conversation on why they believe what they believe,&#8221; something he said that&#8217;s &#8220;so sadly uncommon in our culture.&#8221;
The podcaster also noted that these kinds of conversations are in fact &#8220;discouraged&#8221; today as they two continued to have a revealing discussion about the purpose of marriage as it relates to the participants as well as what it means for society.
Rogan&#8217;s own definition of marriage was  &#8220;a legal union between two people that love each other.&#8221; But Walsh said marriage is both a union between two people and a public institution, and declared it is for society to sanction marriage for furtherance of the greater good.
&#8220;If it was just personal, then we wouldn&#8217;t even be having the conversation,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;Because people are loving who ever they are loving. That&#8217;s it there&#8217;s no way to control that.&#8221;
The public good that marriages should serve, Walsh said, is supporting a foundation for strong families.
&#8220;It is something that is reserved for that because the male-female union has this capacity to create life, whereas no other union has that capacity,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;And so it is a different kind of thing. And it makes sense to call it something different.&#8221;
Walsh posited a hypothetical in which survivors of a collapsed society awoke with amnesia and had to rebuild from scratch. If some &#8220;couplings&#8221; emerged that were capable of creating life, they would be more important to the collective than those which were not.
&#8220;Society needs that,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to keep society going cause you&#8217;re creating people. And that&#8217;s what marriage was.&#8221;
Rogan pressed, noting that gay couples can have children through surrogacy, and their efforts to raise them to be productive were important for society. Walsh acknowledged at the point, but said such relationships are still different because &#8220;the union itself is not creating the child.&#8221;
Walsh added his belief that children &#8220;need a mom and a dad. That&#8217;s the way nature has set it up.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to describe to people that aren&#8217;t aware of what&#8217;s going on, of how wild this stuff has gotten,&#8221; Rogan added.

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>JOE ROGAN: Your documentary, I can&#8217;t tell you how many people have asked me if I&#8217;ve seen it. It&#8217;s, I think it&#8217;s one of the most eye opening things it&#8217;s ever been done on this whole gender confusion thing that we&#8217;re going through right now in our culture. And it was just like one of those things where I had watch, like so many people were like, &#8216;you have to see this, you have to see this&#8217;. And I expected it to be like, I thought it would be like arguments with people or would be very, you know, very confrontational. But instead, I think you did it masterfully. What you did is you just let these people explain themselves the way they would talk if you weren&#8217;t there, the way they would talk to people who agree with what they&#8217;re saying. And by not pushing back. I think you allow them to let all the crazy out. And it&#8217;s like, it&#8217;s just, it&#8217;s hard to describe to people that aren&#8217;t aware of what&#8217;s going on, of how wild this stuff has gotten. First of all, tell me, what was the process of making this? Like, how long did it take? What was the what was the motivation behind it?
MATT WALSH: Yeah, thanks for talking about it so much in your podcast, by the way, it&#8217;s been, it&#8217;s been a huge boost for us. And we, you know, I had this idea. You&#8217;d really have to go back several years, because it occurred to me maybe back in I don&#8217;t know, 2017 when this when this transgender stuff was was starting to really gain mainstream traction, which I think happened really, that was like, maybe when Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner that was the that was the moment that I think it exploded onto the mainstream, not what it began, but it exploded into mainstream. Right around that time, it sort of occurred to me that the people promoting this stuff have a problem, which is that we&#8217;re supposed to accept someone like Bruce, as a woman, but then what exactly does that mean? What are we accepting him as? Like he says, &#8216;I identify as a woman.&#8217; Well, what are you identifying as? If you&#8217;re a woman, well, I know what a woman was before, but if now we&#8217;re including a guy like Bruce, then what is a woman now? And so I started asking this question which was really basic, just like, what is a woman? What are you trying to say about womanhood now? And I couldn&#8217;t get anyone to answer it. I mean, and mostly, it&#8217;s just on Twitter, you know, and challenging someone on the left, just give me a definition, what&#8217;s your definition of the word? And none of them would do it. So at a certain point, I thought, well, we have to find a way to go out and put this question in front of them. And that&#8217;s sort of where the idea for the documentary came from. And we knew going in that we wanted, we wanted two things, well, three things. One is we have the, we have the mission behind it, the message that we want to get across. But we also want it to be a piece of entertainment, you know, because a lot of conservative documentaries, not all of them, but many of them are just, you feel like they&#8217;re watching an extended version of a podcast or something. It&#8217;s not a piece of entertainment. So we wanted it to be that. And then we also knew that the way this is going to work, if it works at all, is if I&#8217;m just asking questions, because if it&#8217;s me going on a tour around the country yelling at people, that would be satisfying for me emotionally, but it just wouldn&#8217;t, it wouldn&#8217;t prove anything other than what people already know, which is that two sides yell at each other. So we want it to give sort of gender ideology a chance to hang itself by its own incoherences, which is which I think is what what happened.
ROGAN: I think you definitely accomplished that.</blockquote>

Daily Wire host and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> ripped into COVID <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/lockdowns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lockdown</a> tyrants after a columnist on Monday begged for “pandemic amnesty.&#8221;
Brown University economist Emily Oster, writing at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-atlantic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Atlantic</a>, admitted that aspects of school closures and other government mandates were ultimately unnecessary, while asserting that &#8220;we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.&#8221;
&#8220;The point here is not to gloat,&#8221; Walsh blasted, referring to Oster&#8217;s claim that people who &#8220;got it right&#8221; &#8220;may want to gloat.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not much in the mood for gloating after what they did and what they took from us. Children committed suicide, elderly people died alone in nursing homes, many businesses went under, people lost everything — gloat?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;No, no, no, we want justice. We want accountability. We want to set an example so that they won&#8217;t try this again.&#8221;
&#8220;Move on?

Left-wing officials have started to distance themselves from lockdown policies they advocated or implemented over the past two years.
Dr. Fauci last month told ABC’s Jonathan Karl he had &#8220;nothing to do&#8221; with school closures.
“I ask anybody to go back over the number of times that I have said we’ve got to do everything we can to keep the schools open, no one plays that clip,” Fauci told Karl, FEE Stories <a href="https://fee.org/articles/fauci-claims-he-had-nothing-to-do-with-school-closures-his-own-statements-suggest-otherwise/">noted</a>. “They always come back and say, ‘Fauci was responsible for closing schools.’ I had nothing to do [with it].”

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last month, as she was pressed about dismal K-12 student test scores in a gubernatorial debate, <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/oct/26/gretchen-whitmer-blasted-claiming-schools-shut-onl/">claimed</a> she only helped shut down schools for &#8220;three months.&#8221;
“[Republican candidate Tudor] Dixon says that I kept students out longer than any other state. That’s just not true,” Whitmer said. “I worked closely with my Republican and Democratic governors. Kids were out for three months.”
“I’m pretty sure I just heard an audible gasp around town when Gretchen Whitmer said that kids were out of school for three months,” Dixon responded. “Perhaps she wasn’t paying attention to what was actually happening. We even had schools that were closed this year.”

COVID Lockdown Tyrants Want Us To Forget, Grant ‘Pandemic Amnesty.’ Matt Walsh Has Some Thoughts.

Lockdown Tyrants Want ‘Pandemic Amnesty.’ Matt Walsh Has Some Thoughts. 

Daily Wire host <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> mocked <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> employees who spend their days enjoying the firm’s fancy office amenities rather than actually working.
As billionaire entrepreneur <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> took control of Twitter this week, a report indicated that he planned to whittle the social media company’s workforce from 7,500 to 2,000. Walsh remarked during an episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Matt Walsh Show</a>” that the move is well-advised given Twitter employees’ bent toward the censorship of free speech and, apparently, laziness.
The acclaimed culture warrior and mastermind behind “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>” watched a Twitter employee’s “day in the life” <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1585395267552960512" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a>, which involved yoga studios, specialty coffees, foosball, rooftop lounges, and a glass of red wine on tap to finish the day. To her credit, she managed to squeeze a 15-minute meeting in between all of her relaxation.
“No work was done at all,” Walsh commented. “I think there’s a lot of fat we can trim here. I really think there is. He wants to fire 75% of employees; I think you can probably fire 90% and you’ll be fine. … If you have time for yoga and foosball and meditation during the workday, you aren’t needed.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6mhdBdguSe4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Walsh then offered a further piece of advice for Musk as he revamps the leftist social media giant: “If I was an employer, I might put all of that stuff in the office just so that I can fire whoever uses it. It gives people an opportunity to tell on themselves.”
Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-proposes-twitter-buyout-at-54-20-per-share-trading-halted-as-stock-price-soars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revived</a> efforts to purchase Twitter earlier this month after fighting the company in court over his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-purge-is-coming-twitter-explodes-after-elon-musk-tanks-44-billion-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempt to cancel</a> a previous offer, a move he said was driven by concerns that executives were underestimating the number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-the-latest-in-the-elon-musk-twitter-legal-feud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fake accounts</a> on the platform. The world’s richest man <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-officially-takes-over-twitter-as-sale-is-now-final-top-execs-fired-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immediately fired</a> CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and censorship czar Vijaya Gadde, who had a role in removing former President Donald Trump from the platform and suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story days before the election of 2020. Walsh, however, had a sage piece of advice for any remaining workers who desire to keep their heads.
“If you want to have job security … you have to make yourself irreplaceable,” Walsh explained. “Your value to your employer increases with the degree of your irreplaceability. If they can find just anyone off the street to do your job, then you have almost no value as an employee.”
Twitter employees are not the only Silicon Valley residents addicted to deluxe workplace amenities. One product manager at Meta filmed her own “day in the life” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-of-23-year-old-meta-employee-enjoying-perks-goes-viral-as-investor-tells-zuckerberg-to-cut-headcount" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> complete with a workout, a large plate of freshly cooked breakfast food, and a custom coffee made with a high-end machine, yet included no mention of staff meetings, reports, work calendars, laptops, or anything else related to bringing a consumer product through its various stages of development. She had scribbled the words “work, workout, vibe” in her to-do list.
As with Twitter, the adults in the room are encouraging Meta leadership to send a few employees packing. Altimeter Capital Management <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/investor-tells-zuckerberg-to-cut-headcount-cool-down-metaverse-push-since-no-one-knows-what-it-even-means" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressed</a> CEO Mark Zuckerberg to reform the company’s hiring practices and focus on core competencies amid the challenging macroeconomic environment, noting that Meta has more than tripled its workforce from 25,000 people to 85,000 people over the past four years.

Footage of a protester <a href="https://twitter.com/yaf/status/1584667429858598912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shredding and consuming</a> pages of a Bible quickly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-outside-matt-walsh-speech-shred-pages-of-bible-eat-them-walsh-responds-your-choice-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began circulating online</a>.
The Daily Wire has learned that the Bible belonged to Nick Proell, a local teenager who joined peers from his church to preach and start conversations about God’s design for human sexuality among left-wing demonstrators gathered outside of the event. In an interview with The Daily Wire, Proell explained that the copy of the Scriptures was a Legacy Standard Bible purchased for roughly $100 at the end of last year.
“It was my personal study Bible that I used every single day,” Proell explained. “At church, at Bible study, to preach, you name it.”
Proell had briefly set his Bible down in order to engage a crowd of protesters in conversation. When he later saw pages blowing in the wind, he realized that his Bible was missing. “Right away, I connected the dots,” he recounted. “They also stole our camera and equipment … batteries, chargers, and microphones, that cost more than $1,000.”
When he later saw the footage of a red-headed individual eating pages of the Bible, Proell quipped that he was glad to see him “digesting God&#8217;s word.” Proell had decided to street preach at the event because “as a Christian I&#8217;m called to love God and love my neighbor as myself.”
“If I saw someone walking off a cliff, how much would I have to hate them to see them walking off a cliff and not tell them there&#8217;s a way out? These people are just like me before Jesus, sinners who love their sin and hate God,” he said. “But praise God, he gives sinners the greatest joy, peace, and pleasure when he saves their soul from destruction. And now, because God saved me, I have so much joy. I want to go and tell everyone about this life-changing good news, that you can be reconciled to your Creator by repenting of your sins and trusting in Jesus, who bore the punishment we deserve for our sins in our place by dying on a cross. It&#8217;s the most loving message I could tell anyone.”
Proell explained that radical gender ideology and child mutilation are fundamentally opposed to the biblical worldview since “God made man and woman in his image,” each with distinct roles and characteristics, but “nevertheless equal” in value.
“God uniquely chooses who we are and what our purpose is. He decides if we&#8217;re a man or a woman, not us,” he continued. “Men weren&#8217;t designed to chop off their penises and call themselves women. It&#8217;s a foolish thing to try and play God.”
Proell recalled that Jesus and the apostles were often despised and rejected for their message: “This is exactly what happened to us last night, and it is something we as Christians should expect to happen if we&#8217;re living out the Christian life.” However, Proell expressed confidence that some degree of good came from the destruction of his copy of the Scriptures.
“The Bible says, ‘God does all things for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.’ I hope that by them stealing the Bible and people seeing the footage, the narrative changes,” he said. “I hope that people realize it&#8217;s not just a right-versus-left thing, it&#8217;s an attack on truth and the standard of truth, God himself. That the question ‘What is a Woman?’ is about more than just gender or sex. It&#8217;s about truth. It&#8217;s about God.”
“While I lost $100 and a Bible that meant so much to me, it&#8217;s just a material object. Unlike in many other countries, I can always buy another one. And I know that God&#8217;s word will go out and, as the Lord says, ‘It will not return void.’ Later in the evening, I saw many students walking around with pages in their hands. Whether reading or mocking, I know that seeds were planted. And I pray that God waters those seeds, saving souls and changing lives for the better.”

Daily Wire Host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/matt-walsh">Matt Walsh</a> made waves at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Monday night while student activists <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-outside-matt-walsh-speech-shred-pages-of-bible-eat-them-walsh-responds-your-choice-america">protested</a> outside after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wisconsin-college-campus-vandalized-ahead-of-matt-walshs-speech">vandalizing a veteran’s memorial</a> on campus.
Walsh’s 30 minute lecture was part of the ‘<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman">What is a Woman?</a>’ tour sponsored by <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/matt-walshs-what-is-a-woman-fall-tour-is-headed-to-these-campuses-exclusively-with-yaf/">Young Americans for Freedom</a>, a series expanding upon his <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/what_is_a_woman">widely acclaimed</a> film of the same name, regarded by many as an unrivaled masterclass in the contentious field of Gender Studies.
“Thank you everyone for being here tonight,” Walsh began.” I want to thank also the leftist crybabies for the free advertising spray painted all over the campus.” Walsh dryly noted that while his campus lectures are often met with intensely emotional opposition, though he believed the behavior at UW-Madison represented a new zenith of censorious zeal.
Walsh noted that controversy ensued soon after the local YAF chapter posted flyers advertising the event in the Gender Studies department, which in his estimate most badly needed to be exposed to the film’s message. A teaching assistant tore the flyers down and filed a ‘bias incident report’. The LGBT center on campus offered a safe space to students on campus during the talk, and the university put out an official statement condemning the content of Walsh’s lecture.
“We are aware that a speaker is coming to campus on Monday whose viewpoints we believe are harmful towards the trans community.” The statement read.
“They’re aware because they approved the event.” Walsh responded. “They are aware of what they are doing, which is more than I can say for Joe Biden.”
Walsh challenged the university’s statement that they ‘affirm and celebrate a spectrum of perspectives’ and argued that by taking a vocal stance on the issue they made it apparent that they only affirmed viewpoints that conformed to a far left ideology <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-majority-of-american-voters-say-transgender-movements-targeting-of-underage-minors-has-gone-too-far">out of step with most Americans</a>.
Walsh then outlined his view, that male and female are fundamentally biological categories that conform to the production of male and female gametes, sperm and ova, and the suite of characteristics that complement them in reproduction.
“A female is that member of the human species who, by her nature, can become pregnant, while a male is the member of the human species who can impregnate the female.” Walsh explained, arguing that non-binary characterizations of sex could not provide any biological basis for additional sexes within the human species. “It’s not complicated, it’s not confusing which is why nobody ever was confused by it until 8 seconds ago.”
Walsh compared the idea that sex and gender were fluid to the idea that geometry is fluid, and argued that the claim that a man could be a woman was even more absurd and pernicious than claiming that a square could be a circle.
“The untruth at the core of gender ideology, of the transgender phenomenon, reaches down to the deepest conceivable level.Gender ideology wages its assault against our knoweldege of ourselves.” Walsh said, arguing that such a worldview ‘replaces light with darkness’ and by its very nature results in self-contradictory confusion in those who adhere to it.
Walsh took the time to respond to the four principal objections to his position, although he argued that the burden of proof should be on those arguing that ‘men can get pregnant.’
“If you’re coming along to deny what everyone in the world has always known to be the case, you are the one who has to prove that assertion.”
&nbsp;
1.Sex and Gender are not identical
&nbsp;
Walsh argued that he had “no use for the term ‘gender’” and that it was gender theorists who advocated for the sex/gender split in the first place, before the “collapsing the very sex/gender distinction that [they] invented.”
“If you did still affirm a definitional distinction between sex and gender then you would also have to affirm that there is in this world a binary category of male and female, and that those who belong to one group cannot cross the chasm between the two.”
Walsh noted that transgender activists would not affirm any binary distinction between ‘trans women’ and ‘women, and claimed that “the whole sex/gender thing was nothing but a sleight of hand trick.”
“I see only men and women, males and females. Each individual in either group has a different way of being and expressing themselves and understanding the world, that’s true, but we don’t need the word ‘gender’ to describe that. We have a word for that: it’s called ‘personality.’
&nbsp;
 2.You say that ‘women can get pregnant’ but what about women that can’t get pregnant.
&nbsp;
Walsh compared this objection to arguing against describing human beings as ‘bipedal’ because some people don’t walk on two legs. “Does the existence of amputees and infants call into question the notion that humans have two legs?”
Walsh argued that human beings naturally have two legs “unless accident, or disease or deformity intervenes. The humans without two legs should have two legs, but they don’t.”
Walsh similarly noted that although age and various other factors could prevent her from becoming pregnant, a woman should be able to get pregnant and if a young woman went to a doctor to ask why she couldn’t that doctor would deduce that something was wrong with her body, and likely be able to diagnose what that problem was, whereas if a young man complained to his doctor that he couldn’t get pregnant that doctor should realize there is no problem with his body at all.
&nbsp;
 3. Trans people have existed throughout history across the world. The ‘binary’ is a Western construct.
&nbsp;
Walsh called this “the dumbest damn thing I’ve ever heard” and observed that gender theory was in fact the modern western construct that was created in the middle of the 20th century by a “relatively small collection of degenerate creeps and whackos,” such as Alfred Kinsey and John Money.
Walsh recounted his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yAnHFj4IK0">expeditio</a>n to Maasai territory in Kenya, where he discussed the intricacies of sex and gender with the incredulous natives, and pointed out that very few of the people criticizing the ‘Western’ gender binary had traveled outside their Western bubble and talked to people about the subject.
“There are places where, for one reason or another, a woman may dress as a woman or play the part of a woman. But none of these cultures believe that the man actually is a woman. Outside of the West, you will not hear of a ‘pregnant man’ anywhere.”
Walsh also noted that the ‘two-spirit’ identity, which was an alleged precursor of transgenderism among native american cultures, was invented by gay activists in <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-american-indian/2021/06/23/lgbtqia-pride-and-two-spirit-people/">1990</a> in a “ret-con” of history.
“There has never been a culture, before ours, that believed that men could have babies.” Walsh stated. “Such madness is uniquely modern. Nobody before us was stupid enough to believe that. It took the most educated and technologically advanced civilization in history to come up with fantastic bulls*** like that.
Furthermore, Walsh noted that if trans people did exist in large numbers throughout history, but were not affirmed by any of these cultures, then by the logic of ‘gender affirmative care’, “that should mean that a great many of these unaffirmed trans people, historically, would have killed themselves.”
Instead, the historical record shows the precise opposite &#8211; childhood suicide was vanishingly rare until very recently, “in correlation with the rise in trans affirmation.” Walsh argued that this correlation was causal and that “trans affirmation causes suicide, and not the other way around.”
&nbsp;
 4. Why do you care so much?
&nbsp;
Walsh called this line of argument an ‘intellectual surrender’ before arguing that it was trans activist themselves who were elevating the importance of the topic.
“You literally throw parades announcing your sexuality and gender identity to the world… You can’t put something on a flag and then ask me why I care about it.” Walsh said.
“You won’t allow me to not care,” he continued. “It’s just that you want me to care in the way that you have determined and arrive at the conclusions that you have pre-approved. You don’t have a problem with the fact that I care. You have a problem with the conclusions that I have drawn.”
Walsh concluded by stating that he was so invested in the topic because “the truth matters.”
“It matters more than your ideology, it matters more than your preferences, it matters more than your self identification, it matters more than your feelings. The truth matters more than anything: it matters more than your life. And more than mine.”
Walsh stressed that no claims of emotional harm or even threats to his life would deter him from speaking the truth as he saw it.
“Nothing can have meaning, apart from truth. There is nothing to fight for, except for truth. Nothing to live for, except for truth. There’s no love without truth, there’s no joy without truth, there’s no beauty without truth, there’s no freedom without truth. There’s nothing without truth, and that’s why I won’t give it up for your sake. Or anyone else&#8217;s.”
“The question we really ought to be asking, then, is not ‘why do I care about the truth?’, it’s  ‘why don’t you?’”

‘The Truth Matters’: Matt Walsh Speaks At UW-Madison

Chaos including the desecration of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bible" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bible</a> erupted on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-open-investigation-after-nude-photos-videos-of-uw-women-volleyball-players-are-leaked-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Wisconsin</a> campus Monday, when protesters tried to shut down a coming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaL2n5s2gUU&amp;feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speech</a> from Daily Wire host and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a>.
UW&#8217;s <a href="https://www.yaf.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Young America’s Foundation</a> (YAF) chapter is hosting Walsh&#8217;s <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wisconsin-yaf-hosts-matt-walsh-what-is-a-woman-tickets-428046948947">sold out</a> speech, which includes a screening of his documentary challenging radical gender theory “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman-official-trailer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is A Woman?</a>” and a question-and-answer session.
Multiple protesters of Walsh are seen on YAF video tearing out pages of the Bible, with at least one male eating the pages. &#8220;Protesters have now shredded the Bible and one began eating pages,&#8221; the conservative group captioned the footage.

Despite threats and intimidation from protesters, YAF and Walsh are not backing down from the event &#8212; and Walsh has personally responded to his detractors&#8217; antics.
&#8220;Well, you can be on the side that eats the Bible and castrates children, or you can be on literally any side but that one. Your choice, America,&#8221; the host asserted.

Another Walsh protester denounced &#8220;white people&#8221; for being &#8220;f***ing racist.&#8221; It&#8217;s unclear why &#8220;white people&#8221; were attacked in relation to Walsh&#8217;s speech.
&#8220;White people stop being f***ing racist, all of you,&#8221; the woman shouted. &#8220;White people&#8230; you need to realize the space you take up and you need to realize how hard it is every single f***ing day for bipoc (black, Indigenous, and people of color) people especially at this institute.&#8221;

Other protesters vandalized a campus building dedicated to veterans, writing, &#8220;Trans women are women &#8211; F*** Matt Walsh and YAF.&#8221; 
“Today we saw an absolutely inexcusable act of vandalism on our most beloved campus building, which is dedicated to veterans, ahead of [Matt Walsh’s] visit,” the university’s YAF chapter posted, captioning photos of the damage, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wisconsin-college-campus-vandalized-ahead-of-matt-walshs-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported. 
&#8220;Campus leftists can’t handle the fact that we’re bringing a speaker to campus whose views differ from theirs because they’re used to being coddled by [UW],&#8221; the group added.

Moreover, Dean of Students Christina Olstad and Gabe Javier, an associate vice chancellor, put out a statement on social media over the weekend offering their support to transgender students ahead of the event.
“To the trans members of our UW-Madison community, we see you and we value you,” they <a class="gnt_ar_b_a" href="https://twitter.com/WisconsinYAF/status/1584349303145115648" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t-l=":b|e|inline click|${u}">wrote</a>. “We will continue to do our part to make this campus more welcoming and inclusive regardless of what speakers may counter this value.”
&#8220;Leftist crybullies at [UW-Madison] vandalized a veteran’s memorial along with several other buildings because they’re upset that I’m speaking on campus,&#8221; Walsh blasted. &#8220;The university responded by apologizing to the vandals and taking their side. The worst cowardice I’ve ever seen by a university.&#8221;
