Here’s a list of the most INSANE things USAID spent YOUR money on



It’s been an exciting week, as Elon Musk and the DOGE have exposed the United States Agency for International Development for wasting our tax dollars on the most far-leftist, anti-American, and just outright stupid causes.

While the American public at large is just now learning that USAID has been squandering our hard-earned money by the billions on dangerous and laughable causes alike, Glenn Beck has been sounding the alarm on USAID for years.

“USAID, as we have always told you, is an arm of the CIA. Anything that is too risky to do that you just don't want to do in the CIA because somebody's paying attention, you do it at USAID,” he says.

“All the color revolutions that happened all around the world, they were done by us. The Arab Spring was done by us. … It was USAID,” he adds.

While the mainstream media are working overtime to write off every shocking revelation as a conspiracy theory and spin a narrative of Trump cruelty, their claims are easily debunked with receipts, which, thanks to the DOGE, we now have in abundance.

Glenn reads some of the most shocking evidence of USAID’s prodigal spending.

  • “$7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gendered language”
  • “$4.5 million to combat disinformation in Kazakhstan”
  • “$2 million for sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala”
  • “$2.1 million to help the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society”
  • “$10 million worth of USAID-funded meals went to an al-Qaeda linked terrorist group”
  • “$6 million for tourism in Egypt”
  • "$5 million to EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs funding bat virus research in the Wuhan lab”
  • “$1.1 million to an Armenian LGBT group”
  • “$1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica”
  • “$2 million to promote LGBT equity through entrepreneurship in Latin America”
  • “$2.3 million for artisanal and small-scale gold mining in the Amazon”
  • “$5.5 million for LGBT activism in Uganda”

Glenn and guest co-host Pat Gray point out that the money going to some of these impoverished countries could be legitimately transformative if it were only used for the right reasons instead of advancing leftist political agendas.

“I don't care who you voted for; every American should be pissed off at this,” says Glenn.

The list above is just a fraction of the examples Glenn gives. To hear the full list, watch the episode above.

Trump jokes that Canada should become the 51st state, but THIS recent Canadian ruling is exactly why we DON’T want that



According to a report from Fox News, when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently visited Mar-a-Lago and had dinner with President-elect Donald Trump, he pleaded against Trump’s tariff plan as it would “kill the Canadian economy.”

Trump purportedly responded by saying that “if Canada can't survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor,” said Fox News’ Peter Doocy.

While Liz Wheeler finds Trump’s joke both “hilarious” and “savage,” she can’t help but cringe at the thought of Canada — the most “disgustingly woke” place in North America — being part of the United States.

She reflects on a Canadian ruling from last month as part of which the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decided that the town of Emo would be fined a total of $15,000 for refusing to proclaim June Pride Month.

According to reports, Borderland Pride — “a 2SLGBTQIA+ Pride organization based in the Rainy River District of Ontario, Canada” — requested that the town of Emo declare June Pride Month and display a rainbow flag.

“But the township refused, resulting in a yearslong process in which the tribunal ruled against the township. The tribunal ruled that Borderland Pride will be awarded $15,000, with $10,000 coming from the township itself and the other $5,000 coming from Emo mayor Harold McQuaker,” Liz reads.

Lawyer and Borderland Pride director Douglas Judson said, “We didn't pursue this because of the money. We pursued this because we were treated in a discriminatory fashion by a municipal government, and municipalities have obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code not to discriminate in the provision of a service.”

Liz can’t understand how forcing a town to hang a flag qualifies as a “service.”

On top of the fines the town and its mayor must pay, “the Tribunal also ordered McQuaker and the chief administrative officer at the municipality to complete a Human Rights 101 training course offered by the Ontario Human Rights Commission within 30 days.”

“One of the messages it sends to other townships and municipalities is that Pride needs to be in the smallest and most remote communities just as it is in larger cities,” Judson stated.

And that right there — the idea that LGBTQ+ ideology must be forced down everyone’s throats regardless of where they choose to live — is exactly why Liz can’t stomach the idea of the United States absorbing Canada.

“The left never wanted inclusion; they never wanted tolerance; they never wanted to just live their lives and be left alone. They want to force you to worship at their satanic altar,” says Liz. “Canada is one step ahead of even the worst wokeism here in the United States, but we are headed in that direction, so tariff the hell out of them, Mr. President. We don't want them part of the United States.”

Biological man STORMS women's locker room; threatens woman



A St. Louis branch of Life Time Fitness has come under fire after it allegedly adopted a policy that allowed transgender women into the female locker rooms.

The policy ended up empowering a 52-year-old transgender woman, who entered the women’s locker room and proceeded to waltz around in a bikini.

“I look over and I see, you know what I believe to be a man walking in a bikini. He had the full genitalia, the male genitalia,” Cindy Zykan told Jason Whitlock in a recent interview on “Fearless.”

Zykan had received social media threats from the man, who goes by Eris Montano, after she complained. Montano also attempted to visit Zykan’s home in order to intimidate her and her husband, which forced her to file a restraining order.

“This man, who was married for twenty-three years, had a child with his wife of twenty-three years, his wife worked at Life Time Fitness, the man was a member of Life Time Fitness, previously under his male identity,” Jason Whitlock tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”

“He’s been recently divorced and has decided he’s a woman,” he adds.

Zykan’s complaint resulted in about a week of the man, who is homeless, camping out at the gym in his car — where protests then ensued.

“We’ve seen similar weird things happen at Planet Fitness and other places that are allowing these mentally disturbed people to do this,” Peterson comments, before asking Whitlock how Life Time Fitness responded.

“I think the actual people that work at Life Time Fitness, most of them were sympathetic to their membership, who thought this was outrageous. This guy is showering and grooming with women and children in that locker room,” Whitlock says.

While Life Time Fitness was simply pandering to the transgender agenda that’s been shoved down the country’s throat, it ended up kicking the man out of the club via police force after his threatening social media posts.

While it took a little longer than it should, Whitlock believes that was the right course of action. Though he thinks as a society, we should take it one step further.

“We need to start treating these people that have these gender identity issues like they have some mental concerns that need to be treated,” Whitlock concludes.

'It's because I'm black': Trooper arrests Philly LGBT Affairs head, husband amid traffic stop; trooper now on restricted duty



Pennsylvania State Police placed a trooper on restricted duty after he arrested the head of Philadelphia's Office of LGBT Affairs along with her husband during a traffic stop over the weekend in the city, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

A portion of Saturday's arrest of Celena Morrison and her husband Darius McLean — CEO of a transgender resource center — was caught on video.

While state police charged the couple with resisting arrest, obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct, and summary traffic citations, the paper said the office of city District Attorney Larry Krasner declined the charges, and Morrison and McLean were released from custody Saturday evening.

What are the details?

The Inquirer, citing state police, said the trooper pulled Morrison over on Interstate 676 for driving a grey Infiniti sedan with an expired and suspended registration, driving without headlights activated in the rain, illegally tinted windows, and driving too close to another car.

After the traffic stop, McLean pulled up behind them, the paper said, adding that state police said McLean “became verbally combative” and “refused multiple lawful orders" after the trooper approached him.

The trooper attempted to arrest McLean, and Morrison tried to intervene, the Inquirer said, adding that she also was arrested.

In Morrison's video of the arrest, she was heard yelling, “I work for the mayor! I work for the mayor!” as McLean was lying on the shoulder of the freeway, the paper said.

"Please, just stop. No! It's cause I'm black," McLean was heard saying, according to WPVI-TV.

"It's not 'cause you're black," the trooper replied, according to the station.

The trooper then walked toward Morrison and told her to "turn around" and "give me your hands, or you are getting tased," WPVI reported. At one point, Morrison was heard saying, “He just punched me," the Inquirer said.

More from the station:

The video continues to record while on the ground.

"This was a simple traffic stop cause you didn't have your lights on. You're tailgating," the officer explains to the couple. "Then, I don't know who you are. I don't need somebody rolling up on me."

"There was no need at all," one person is heard saying.

"You were about to tase me. You pulled your gun on me," another voice says.

"You were fighting with me," says a third voice.

"No, I wasn't fighting you," someone responds.

Anything else?

State police are conducting an internal investigation over the incident, the paper said, adding that during the unnamed trooper's restricted duty, he won't be on patrol.

Jane Roh, spokesperson for the DA’s office, told the Inquirer that no charging decisions have been made, and officials are investigating all aspects of the incident.

The paper added that Mayor Cherelle Parker noted in a social media post, "A video circulating on social media that depicts a portion of the incident is very concerning to me, and I will have no further comment until the investigation has been completed."

LGBTQ students march against Clemson University removing tampons from men's bathrooms, demand 'repercussions' against Republican group



LGBTQ students recently held a march to protest Clemson University removing tampons from the men's bathrooms on the campus in South Carolina. The students also demanded that the school's Republican club suffer repercussions for opposing feminine hygiene products in men's bathrooms on campus.

Approximately 50 Clemson students marched on Wednesday to demand special protections for "transgender, gender non-conforming students, and the wider LGBTQIA+ community."

The students carried signs that read: "Gay Liberation," "Trans Revolution," and "Love Is A Human Right." The signs had symbols for anarchy and LGBTQ rainbow-colored hammer and sickle symbols of communism.

The LGBTQ activists were also marching to demand that the university reinstate tampons in men's bathrooms on campus.

"Today, we are marching for the reinstatement of the menstrual products in the men’s restrooms in Cooper Library and throughout campus," said Pan Tankersley – the main student organizer of the event.

Tankersley added, "Students are still not safe on campus. They still experience harassment, hate and all of those things. If anything, the university needs to step up and needs to protect its students."

The LGBT activists also demanded that the Clemson College Republicans group face "repercussions" for opposing the tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms.

The official Take Back Pride Instagram account – which has the pronouns "They/Them" despite being a social media account – claimed Clemson College Republicans are "contributing to a campus climate that encourages transphobic rhetoric and jeopardizes the safety of LGBTQIA+ students."

The Clemson College Republicans are the target of the LGBTQ group's scorn after opposing a drag queen show on campus in April 2022 and objecting against having feminine hygiene products in men's bathrooms on campus.

The feminine hygiene dispensers were removed from the Cooper Library men's restrooms on Sept. 16 – three days after the Clemson College Republicans made a harmless social media post about the woke gesture.

— (@)

The conservative college group said, "A few days ago, our club made it known that tampon and pad dispensers were in several of the MEN'S restrooms in Cooper Library. However, with the help of Representative April Cromer, these dispensers were removed from the walls of the bathrooms. It is a total embarrassment that these were there in the first place. Men cannot be women. Women cannot be men. Period. Reject delusion. Embrace sanity."


"Men are men," said Trevor Tiedeman – chairman of Clemson College Republicans. "Women are women. Of course, men can not menstruate. Of course, we spoke out against that. Of course, these people think the opposite, and that’s why they’re out here protesting us."

Tiedeman added, "We have simply stood up for biological reality. They reject what we believe, and so they want us to get removed from campus."

The College Fix reported, "A top campus official did not say whether administrators would put back the tampons and pads in the men’s bathrooms or whether the College Republicans would face any repercussions."

Clemson University spokesperson Joe Galbraith told Clemson's student newspaper, The Tiger, that the products are still available in women’s and family restrooms.

Chris Miller – Clemson’s Dean of Students and President of Student Affairs – said, "It's always good that our students have access to their campus. The ability to assemble and speak freely unencumbered just goes to the heart of what a university is and what a university is for."

Miami-Dade School Board overwhelmingly rejects proposal requiring recognition and observance of October as 'LGBTQ History Month'



On September 7, the Miami-Dade School Board, which oversees a school system with over 331,000 students, held a public meeting at its headquarters in downtown Miami. Over the course of six hours, various personalities and groups took turns expressing their support or criticisms for a proposal advanced by board member Lucia Baez Geller, who represents District 6. Geller's resolution, H-11, if enacted, would have had the school board "recognize and observe October 2022 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) History Month," as well as provide social studies instruction on gay history.

At 9:45 p.m., the board voted 8-1 against the proposal.

Part of the reason cited for voting down the proposal was that it was likely in conflict with Florida's Parental Rights in Education Bill, which reinforces parents' natural rights to make decisions concerning their children's upbringing.

Geller did not handle the decision well and was visibly upset. She claimed, "There is an election year and the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is a tool used by some to spread misinformation."

School board chair Perla Tabares Hantman, who plans to retire in November, stated, "We have to be in accordance with the law."

Although last year, the board — differently constituted — voted 7-1 to recognize October as a gay-themed month (also proposed by Geller), Geller drew heat this week by pushing further for a gay-themed curriculum change.

Geller suggested that just as students are required to learn about the War of Independence, the Civil War, the world wars, and the civil rights movement, they should similarly learn about cases pertinent to gay activism in the United States.

Accordingly, H-11 would have had students specifically study and learn about Supreme Court cases Obergefell v. Hodges (where bans on same-sex "marriage" were ruled unconstitutional) and Bostock v. Clayton County (where discrimination against employees on the basis of gay orientation or transsexuality was ruled unconstitutional) in social studies classes.

In her September 2 letter to the board, Geller asserted that October should be a time "established to remind all cultures within our wider community of the important roles that LGBTQ people have taken in shaping the social, historical, legal, and political worlds we live in today."

She further highlighted how a gay-focused month would constitute "an effective means of educating and calling to action our community to work together by fighting prejudice and discrimination ... and increasing visibility and raising awareness."

Board member Christi Fraga, who represents District 5, was the lone dissenter in last year's successful vote to observe a gay-themed October. According to WPLG, Fraga suggested on Wednesday that H-11 creates a "hostile" environment and emphasized it isn't up to teachers to "decide what will be taught in classrooms during this time."

Pastor Max Tovar, who led a prayer outside the meeting and asked the board members to reject the motion, told the Miami Herald that H-11 was "a Trojan horse."

Others, reported the Guardian, indicated that the realization of Geller's proposal would amount to sexual abuse of children.

The chair of Moms for Liberty Miami-Dade, Eulalia Maria Jimenez, suggested the alteration of the social studies curriculum to complement an already gay-themed month requiring observance by students was tantamount to "indoctrination." In an Instagram post, the group had written, "Help us protect the children against grooming agenda HB-11."

A transsexual supporter of H-11 present at the meeting suggested such language was dehumanizing to the gay community.

The president and founder of the gay activist group PRISM FL, Maxx Fenning, went a step further, suggesting that a refusal to render October a gay month and require its observance by children was akin to Nazi persecution.

Another activist group, Equality Florida, expressed shock and alarm in response to the school board's determination, writing, "Tonight's vote is more proof of the sweeping, dangerous effect of Florida's discriminatory Don't Say LGBTQ law."

\u201cTonight\u2019s vote is more proof of the sweeping, dangerous effect of Florida\u2019s discriminatory Don\u2019t Say LGBTQ law, which many Board Members cited in their decision to abandon this established and successful symbol of support for the district\u2019s LGBTQ students, teachers, and families.\u201d
— Equality Florida (@Equality Florida) 1662605327

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis-backed candidates flipped the Miami-Dade school board last month. Concerning that win, the 1776 PAC tweeted, "Miami Dade is now the LARGEST county in America with a conservative school board majority. Congrats to Roberto Alonso and Monica Colucci."

Deace: A time for justice



My hunger for the sternest forms of justice is nearly insatiable these days. Even to the point of co-authoring a book calling for a new Nuremberg trial. I want justice because it is a testimony to the truth: God’s truth, which is the ultimate truth. Thus, justice properly understood is not only good, but holy.

But there is more. So much more.

Because in God’s glorious, grace-fueled economy, mercy triumphs over judgment, if only we let it. There is no darkness so vast that mercy can’t wash it clean. So even though current events may, in fact, soon warrant the need for the sort of justice once inflicted on Nazis, they make the stories of mercy only more obvious and beautiful to behold.

For example, this is just within the last week:

  • Comedian JP Sears, who is well known for destroying the lies of Covidstan, testified to how the experience of the last few years has humbled him to accept a glorious reality far beyond his own proud rationalizations of the past. Please watch him give what is a vastly superior sermon compared to much of what is coming from American churches these days.
  • Former self-described “slut” and Playboy columnist Bridget Phetasy publicly acknowledged the lies she told not only herself, but countless others over the years in the name of feminism and so-called “empowerment.” The end result, though, is not condemnation but true freedom for both men and women alike, as Phetasy bottom-lines her arrival at the truth like this: “Every woman should feel this way: Sleeping w/ me is a privilege. And you have to be worthy.”
  • The group Gays Against Groomers has so upset the diabolical moral economy of the Twitter-sphere that it was banned by the platform for “reasons” before being later re-instated on the same day. Cults hate it when those who are supposed to drink the deepest from the Kool-Aid cup reject them. And you don’t have to applaud all that Gays Against Groomers represents to accept that when it comes to saving innocent children from the modern-day Mengeles in our midst, they know what time it is and refuse to bring a knife to a gunfight, as they make statements like this: “There needs to be a federal law banning all trans medicalization and surgical mutilation of minors. All of these doctors and surgeons should not only be stripped of their medical licenses, but never be allowed within 500 yards of a child ever again.”
  • And lastly, the sororities of the University of Alabama who unanimously told a boy in a dress to get the hell out. Nicely done, ladies.

These people, broken as each and every one of them are in their own way, nonetheless became vessels of light in the last week as they accepted, in no uncertain terms, certain truths of God’s creation. None of which is to say they have accepted all of the truth or even the most important parts of it yet. However, they are closer than they once were to the way, the truth, and the life – as are those who heard what they had to say and were similarly awakened by such unambiguous testimony.

Remember, we are all sinners put back together by God. None of us is without cracks, but those cracks aren’t just scars. Because it is when God’s light shines through the cracks that our true destiny unfolds. That’s when others no longer see our cracks, but his light.

With that said, pray for all those above and be grateful for their courage. For thus says the Lord in the Book of Ezekiel 36:23-28:

I will prove the holiness of my great name,
profaned among the nations,
in whose midst you have profaned it.
Thus the nations shall know that I am the LORD, says the Lord GOD,
when in their sight I prove my holiness through you.
For I will take you away from among the nations,
gather you from all the foreign lands,
and bring you back to your own land.
I will sprinkle clean water upon you
to cleanse you from all your impurities,
and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you,
taking from your bodies your stony hearts
and giving you natural hearts.
I will put my spirit within you and make you live by my statutes,
careful to observe my decrees.
You shall live in the land I gave your ancestors;
you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

In this passage, God is obviously speaking specifically about his people, the Israelites. Nevertheless, we are all made in his image, Jew and Gentile alike. So, we can take heed that this reflects the overall heart of God – for mercy to triumph over judgment.

But also take heed of this: If we do not seek his mercy, we will face his judgment.

Squires: Sam Brinton and Rachel Levine are the 'impossible women' leading the second-wave DEI movement



A picture of Dr. Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton, two of the most visible officials in the Biden administration, went viral last week. Levine, a man who believes he is a woman, is the assistant secretary for Health. Brinton is a deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Energy who identifies as “non-binary,” dresses in drag, and is public about his puppy role-play fetish.

Like Levine and Brinton, Lia Thomas also made news last week. Thomas is the male swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania who won an NCAA national championship in the women’s 500-yard freestyle in March. His school decided to honor that accomplishment by nominating him for the NCAA’s 2022 “Woman of the Year” award.

These three men have something very important in common. They are all prominent leaders in the second-wave DEI movement.

First-wave DEI was mainly focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and academia based on race and sex. Affirmative action, coding camps for black teenagers, and government set-aside programs for women-owned businesses are all part of first-wave DEI. These policies and initiatives have always faced varying levels of opposition, but people are generally more supportive of programs that widen the net of participation rather than lower the bar of performance in a particular field.

Second-wave DEI builds on its predecessor but has a very different set of goals. It uses demoralization, extortion, and intimidation to force social change on an unwilling public. The primary beneficiaries of the second-wave are “gender and sexual minorities,” but supportive nonwhite and female allies benefit from the scraps that fall from the rainbow table.

The unofficial start of the second-wave DEI movement was July 15, 2015. That was the night Caitlyn Jenner was given the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs. Jenner was described as “courageous” and “stunning” by the person who introduced him that night, but not everyone was in full support.

NBC Sports commentator Bob Costas expressed his opinion at the time during an appearance here on "The Dan Patrick Show":

“It strikes me that awarding the Arthur Ashe to Caitlyn Jenner is just a crass exploitation play, a tabloid play. In the broad world of sports—and this is not anything against Caitlyn Jenner—I am pretty sure they could have found someone who was much closer to actively [being] involved in sports who would have been deserving of what that award represents.”

It is unlikely that any active broadcaster of Costas’ stature would say anything close to that now. Even the most outspoken, politically incorrect sports personalities have evolved with the times.

Charles Barkley pledged his love for the beneficiaries of second-wave DEI at a recent event in Nevada. Barkley’s public gesture is a reflection of the impact men like Sam Brinton have had on the second-wave DEI movement. Brinton is a “handler” in the puppy-play fetish scene. He teaches his “pups'' how to submit and obey his commands. They are bound by leather and chains but claim to be “free” in their alternate identity as long as he is in charge. In puppy parlance, Charles Barkley rolled over and showed his belly.

Brinton’s position in the Biden administration may focus on nuclear energy, but he plays a much more significant role as an activist. UPenn’s women’s basketball team helped craft a plan of action after George Floyd’s death. None of those players would dare utter a word in defiance of Thomas or his second-wave brethren. His female teammates and opponents know that. The lack of support is demoralizing, which is why they would rather keep quiet than risk being ravaged by an angry mob for protesting.

Not their will, but his be done.

Second-wave DEI activists have also mastered the art of using fear and emotional manipulation to assert their dominance. Throughout history, extortion has always taken the form of “give me what I want or something bad will happen to you.” In second-wave DEI, it generally means “give me what I want or something bad will happen to me.”

This is how trans activists back most people into a corner. The average person would rather play the personal pronoun game than be linked to threats of suicide or physical harm. This is why “I’d rather a living daughter than a dead son” and “so, are you saying trans men don’t exist?” have become commonplace in our political discourse.

Like all dominant members of a social hierarchy, people like Sam Brinton and Khiara Bridges are trained to exploit any signs of weakness. Bridges is the University of California Berkeley Law School professor who told Senator Josh Hawley that his rejection of “pregnant men” was tied to violence against trans people.

Macy Gray showed a moment of weakness and whimpered through an interview where apologized for correctly defining womanhood. She went from biology to “vibes” in less than one week. Black women like her were pioneers in first-wave DEI, but white men can reassert their dominance in the social hierarchy by claiming to be what Macy Gray has been her entire life.

Second-wave DEI is the first time in human history when a fake commodity is perceived as more valuable than the real thing. No one pays more for cubic zirconia than diamonds, but an obedient society values Impossible Women over the XX chromosome variety.



Caitlyn Jenner, Lia Thomas, Rachel Levine, and Sam Brinton are the poster boys for the new DEI regime, but the father of all lies has been at this for much longer than 2015.

The Bible describes Satan as the “accuser of the brethren.” Christians who struggle with sin know the feeling of drowning under the weight of guilt and shame. We hear the inner voices that say “everyone will abandon you if they find out who you really are or what you’ve done in the past. I’ll protect you if you bow down and worship me.”

Fear is a powerful tool for forcing compliance. Left to our own strength, it can cast a true believer back into bondage to sin. Second-wave DEI is the commercialization of psychological warfare. Its leaders know whoever owns the mind can control the man. God demonstrates the priority He puts on our thinking in Romans 12:2 that says:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

The only thing that can withstand the current wave — and all the ones to come — is a renewed mind firmly rooted in biblical truth. No other ideology can assure victory. Liberals have become libertines and conservatives don’t know what they want to conserve. The choice is simple. Our culture will submit to Christ or we will have chaos. The waves will continue to crash, but believers can stand firm in the knowledge that the battle has already been won.

Squires: ‘What Is a Woman?’ proves godless hedonism – not Christian nationalism – is America’s biggest threat



"What is a Woman?," the documentary film from Daily Wire podcast host and political commentator Matt Walsh is not primarily about women. It’s not even mainly about transgenderism or the excesses of leftist dogma related to sex and gender.

The documentary is about the nature of truth and as such, it's ultimately about theology more than biology. Walsh is an outspoken Catholic, but he never tackles the subject from a religious perspective. That may have been a strategic choice, given how left-of-center media outlets are trying to convince Americans that the biggest threat to the future of the republic is the growing number of conservatives who advocate for policies informed by their faiths.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest problem our culture faces is godless hedonism, not Christian nationalism.

Matt Walsh asked a simple question – “what is a woman?”– to college professors, medical professionals, elected officials, activists, and ordinary citizens. Very few even attempted to give a straightforward, logical answer. It is hard to give an answer when your mind has been conditioned to think in terms of “your truth” or say that a person’s self-perception is “their reality.” One college professor in the film said Walsh’s use of the word “truth” itself was “transphobic,” “condescending,” and “rude.”

This is why our entire culture has come to believe that a person can change their sex simply by claiming they identify as the opposite sex. The reason Lia Thomas is a household name is because activists and journalists focus on hormone levels and fairness for trans athletes instead of basic definitions. If women’s sports are for women and men can’t become women, then there is no reason whatsoever for a man to be competing in women’s sports.

The elevation of the self above all rational objective thinking is also why there seems to be a sudden explosion of drag queens engaging with young children. The "Drag Queen Story Hour" programs in local libraries have morphed into drag queens reading and performing in public schools as well as drag events for young children in adult clubs. These events are posted online as if men twerking and gyrating in front of young children is perfectly normal and acceptable, but only if those men are dressed up as women.

The modern left has no limit on the types of content and activities adults can introduce to children in the name of LGBT progress. That became crystal clear by how liberal entertainers, lawmakers, and journalists responded to a bill prohibiting schools from discussing matters of sex, sexuality, and gender identity with young children. They said “gay” for weeks in their state houses, on news broadcasts, and at awards shows because they believe the desires of adults should always take precedence over the needs of children.

The denial of objective truth is a rejection of God. There is a straight line from biological evolution to political revolution to cultural devolution.

If human beings have no creator who provides our standards of morality, then human flourishing is a function of having the right people in power to control our lives, not a matter of spiritual health. Societies don’t suffer from too much sin; their problem is not enough Caesar.

The problem with that worldview is that chaos ensues when the concept of objective truth is rejected, people believe they can create their own realities and feelings become the final arbiters of good and evil.

What we are seeing in the West is the inevitable collapse of this way of thinking. Leftist dogma regarding the value of life, the human body, biological sex, human sexuality, and the definition of family are all part of the same death spiral. According to the Bible, God wants humanity to “be fruitful and multiply” and build order into our world that allows us to fulfill that command. Reproduction requires male and female participation. Marriage provides the ideal context for the provision and protection of women and dependent children. The scriptures declare the value of human life is inherent because of our common creator.

The practitioners of progressive politics disagree. They believe abortion up until birth of is a human right and think toddlers can change their genders. The family structures they prefer promoting cannot reproduce offspring without external assistance. Their command to fellow humans is, “be fruitless and destroy.”

This is the dystopian future of butchered babies, harvested eggs, rented wombs, and sterilized adolescents. Charles Darwin would probably describe this entire agenda as “artificial selection” because there is nothing natural about a species that sees the death and destruction of its young as a sign of social progress.



We live at a time where we have more financial resources, technological advances, and access to knowledge than at any point in history. We also seem more despondent, depressed, nihilistic, disconnected, and narcissistic than ever. That’s because material wealth does not give life meaning, and education is not the same as wisdom.

A lifetime of expensive formal education from the most elite institutions is worthless if it makes a person deny objective truth. None of the Maasai tribesmen Matt Walsh encountered studied medicine, law, or philosophy at Harvard, yet they understand the difference between men and women better than the people who have.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:19, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: 'He catches the wise in their craftiness.'”

Our inability and unwillingness to answer the question “what is a woman?” has caught us in a trap we can’t escape with more worldly wisdom. Only time will tell whether we will continue following the path of man’s wisdom or embrace the peace that accompanies God’s truth.
