It’s been a dramatic and highly charged few days for Matt Walsh, with every new headline echoing the culture war and its risks. On The Matt Walsh Show, I focused on the fallout from Malcolm Gladwell’s recent about-face on transgender participation in women’s sports. Gladwell’s admission that he was cowed under social pressure and now regrets his former neutrality lit up the commentariat, and I called out the intolerance shown by activists as proof the trans culture war is far from over, urging conservatives to remain vocal and framing Gladwell’s reversal as evidence that cultural winds may finally be shifting. Several major outlets, including Newsweek and CPAC, picked up on the episode, amplifying the debate and my broader call to stand firm for free speech and biological reality.
But the news cycle took an even darker turn when Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure, was tragically shot to death during a public appearance. In my September 11 podcast episode and across my social media, I spoke openly about my grief and anger, paying tribute to Kirk’s courage and the loss America felt. The assassination unleashed a torrent of threats on social media, listing high-profile conservatives as targets—including myself, Joe Rogan, JK Rowling, and Ben Shapiro. Numerous users, especially on X and Bluesky, openly fantasized about violence against outspoken figures like me. Faced with this ramped-up hostility, I made clear on X that I refuse to be intimidated or driven into hiding, posting, “I am proud to be hated by these rodents,” and, “we have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.” Outlets like The Western Journal and NBC15 covered my defiant stance and the broader implications for conservative voices facing violence and censorship.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, I weighed in on another national story after the brutal murder of a woman on the Lynx Blue Line. When the mayor blamed the killing on mental health issues and urged compassion, I shot back online and on The Matt Walsh Show, arguing that “mental health has become an excuse for all human evil” and criticizing what I see as a growing pattern of excusing criminality in the name of progressive politics. My comments have circulated widely, driving yet more conversation and controversy.
On the business and social media front, I’ve maintained a steady release schedule via The Daily Wire and fought to keep the debate alive, sometimes saying I needed a break from social media, but largely remaining in the fray as a lightning rod for commentary and criticism. There have been no major business launches or public events beyond the podcast and direct social media responses, but the intensity of these last 24 hours—marked by national headlines, real threats, tragedy, and ideological confrontation—feel likely to echo for years in my biography.
