Matt Walsh (born June 18, 1986)[2][3] is an American right-wing political activist, author, podcaster, and columnist.[4] He is the host of The Matt Walsh Show podcast and is a columnist for the American conservative website The Daily Wire. He has authored four books and starred in The Daily Wire documentary films What Is a Woman? and Am I Racist?
In 2010, Walsh began his career as a talk radio host for two stations in Delaware, before moving to Kentucky and launching his own website in 2012.[5] He left WLAP in Kentucky when his show was cancelled in December 2013 and joined Blaze Media in 2014.[6] He joined The Daily Wire in 2017, and began hosting The Matt Walsh Show in 2018.[7] Walsh has appeared on several nationally syndicated publications and talk shows.[8][9]
Walsh opposes transgender rights and has campaigned in opposition to groups providing or encouraging transgender health care, particularly for minors.[10][11][12][13] In 2022, Walsh released Johnny the Walrus, a children's book in which he compared being transgender to pretending to be a walrus,[14] and What Is a Woman?, a documentary film about gender identity in the United States.[15] Walsh has campaigned against several hospitals, comparing the transgender healthcare they provide to child sexual abuse, genital mutilation, and rape.[16][17]
