People across the country have been loving the movie, including a lot of big names in the entertainment industry. Over the past couple of weeks, I've gotten to see. sit down with some of these people to discuss the movie. We've put together these great moments from the interviews for you to enjoy. Here it is. Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

Your movie is really funny. It's really funny. By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today. It's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time because there's so many moments that are so uncomfortable. That means a lot. I appreciate that. Yeah.

That's what we're hoping for. The Robin DeAngelo one where you gave that guy money for reparations and you got her. She thought it was uncomfortable. It almost feels like satire, but you realize it's not. It's just ridiculous. But you do a great job. You do a really good job of staying calm and deadpanning. Because I don't have that skill.

I would not be able to hold it together. I would have to start laughing. At some point, time out of crack. it's just I wouldn't be able to not enjoy it in the moment to the point where we know that's the thing you don't enjoy it in the moment because in the it's actually it's really unpleasant in the moment you're in this environment with these insane people yeah it's like it's exhausting you know listening to this if I was there and I didn't know you I'd be like I think

this guy's fucking around there's just an edge just a touch of it just a touch of it that makes it even funnier congratulations it's really funny it's great and and I I think it's a great way to expose how ridiculous some of this shit is. These people exist out there. This is a world that they live in. To do it the way you did it and just make it a hilarious hour and a half movie is really good. So kudos. Thank you, man.

Appreciate it. Congratulations. You know him as a successful author, podcaster and filmmaker. Matt Walsh's new documentary, Am I Racist? It's in theaters now. It's a big hit. You are undercoverer. And I'm just like so worried that you're going to get found out.

getting Robin DiAngelo to actually pay reparations one to one to your black director. Yeah. Because she was talking the game of systemic racism. And then you said, okay, well, let's give money right now to my director. Yeah, we kind of, I was, because at this point, I'm on the journey myself to become a DEI consultant and expert, which I did become one. And by the end of it, I was able to teach Robin DeAngelo, because we went through this whole thing. And I gave her, because we were just talking in theory.

I said, let's put this into practice right now. And I called my black friend Ben out, who's a producer on the film. And I said, you know, he's black. Let's pay him reparations right now. I paid reparations. And then eventually we convinced Robin DeAngelo to pay as well. Yeah. Although I will say that once the cameras were off, I did take my reparations back.

I love that uncomfortable silence where you handed money to Ben. And then she was like, should I get my purse? Yeah, well, maybe. Welcome to the Roseanne Bar podcast. You know, I said I only like to talk to creative geniuses and I've got one today and he's a good one. Matt Walsh. Hi, Matt. Hi, great to be here.

Thanks for having me. I'm so excited because your movie that's being released, it's a big deal. It's got a huge theatrical release, which is a very big deal for, you know. Culture War. In the Culture War. That's great. It's funny, I think, because, you know, you get a lot of good laughs. So it's a good date night thing or a guy's night out or a girl's night out thing.

I think so. You are doing the right thing by making a funny movie. Right, exactly. Because that's really the way to reach people is doing something funny that, you know, just happens to be exposing a grift. And that's something that the left has typically been very good at. Now, in recent years, they haven't been so good at it because they put the, you know, it's interesting in the entertainment world anyway.

The left is now making kind of the mistake that, you know, Christian films have made for a long time where they're putting the message before the story. So it's nothing but one long homily and people just aren't that interested. Excellent point. Yeah, that's a great point. But I think it creates an opportunity for someone to come in and make entertainment that's actually entertaining but also has the message. And that's one thing that... Were these people real that are in this movie? They're all real. Yeah. Everyone's real. No actors, except for me, but I'm not even an actor. So, yeah. Those are real.

Yeah, they're 100% real. These are all real things. I mean, you can look these people up. And, you know, if you want to go to your own white grief support group, you can go. I just would love to thank you for being here today. It was wonderful to talk to you. I love the film. We saw it.

We love it. He's a soldier on the front lines. He's very brave. He makes things turn, but he's there to turn them. Your movie is called Am I Racist? Hey, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show.

Joining me now, Matt Walsh, host of the Daily Wires, The Matt Walsh. show and star and producer of Am I Racist? Welcome back, Matt. Great to see you. You do, Megan. Thanks for having me. Okay, I watched it last night and I loved it. So I have good news for you because I watched it with a focus group of two. My husband Doug Brunt and I watched it together and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Doug Brunt enjoyed it even more than I did because Doug, who is very affable and a great guy, is not particularly prone to fits of emotion in any particular way. and he laughed so many times, Matt. He loved your deadpan, you know, just demeanor, your comments.

There are so many good ones. It was true genius. So congrats. You were very respectful. You weren't, you know, in people's faces, but you would keep asking questions when you were told to stop. You would keep, like, pressing little buttons when you could tell they were on their heels wondering what the hell had just walked into the room. Looking back at it, of course, it's quite humorous, but when you're in the moment, it's actually not all that funny to me when you're really there and you're watching these people, especially these grifters who, who, you know, this is their whole, this is what they do.

They take normal people and they try to break them down and it's like this brainwashing session that you see in the movie that goes on over and over again. That Sarah Rao is the most hateful person in this entire film. She's disgusting. What an absolute pig this person is. She hates America and she hates whites. I mean, deeply hates. Am I wrong? Not wrong at all.

She says it herself. She says it about America. America is a piece of S, I believe she says, her words. Seeing you needle her and like tweak her and ultimately expose and thus embarrass her is very gratifying. That's how you wind up feeling at the end of this, even though there are infuriating moments. Matt, great to see you. Thank you for everything. Remember the new film is, am I racist? Support Matt and go see it.
