    Walsh takes a satirical approach, playing a version of himself who is fully bought into the anti-racist ideology. He allows the experts to guide him down the rabbit hole, exposing the contradictions and absurdities of their beliefs.

  • Why is it so difficult to define racism within the anti-racist movement?

Show Notes

Two years ago, Matt Walsh humiliated the left's ideological leaders by simply asking them, point-blank, "what is a woman?" Now, he's back, going undercover to ask Robin DiAngelo and many others to explain just what the heck "racism" is. Matt joins Charlie for a hilarious conversation about the empty, phony ideology of the left's grifter class.
