Conservative commentator and podcast host Megyn Kelly had nothing but rave reviews for the upcoming Daily Wire documentary, “Am I Racist?”
Kelly sat down with creator and Daily Wire host Matt Walsh to discuss what happened behind the scenes, including how Walsh was able to go undercover among the DEI crowd, including “White Fragility” author Robin D’Angelo.
“Everyone must see,” Kelly said.
“If you watch this movie for no other reason, watch it to see the scene where Matt Walsh, in his man bun, sits down with Robin D’Angelo,” she added. “I died. Honestly, there were so many great moments in there, again I’ll keep them a secret, but one of my favorites was when the issue of what is mansplaining… and let’s just say you’ll laugh just as hard as Doug and I did when you get to that scene.”

Walsh is not in disguise at the beginning of the film, but after being recognized, he goes semi-incognito and dons a tweed jacket, skinny jeans, and a man bun, and carries a man bag equipped with a copy of Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist.”
Even with the change in fashion, Walsh still looked like himself. Kelly marveled that he was able to gain access to people like D’Angelo. The best-selling author is currently embattled in a scandal after being accused of plagiarism by several scholars, including minorities, in her 2004 dissertation.
Walsh said he and the film crew used the participants’ “arrogance and false sense of security” to get interviews with people who appear in the film. He said they all live in such a “bubble” and rarely encounter people who disagree with them, which made it easier to infiltrate their ranks without an elaborate disguise.
Kelly also debuted a new clip from the documentary which shows Walsh speaking with anti-racist educator Kate Slater, known for creating what she calls an “anti-racist road map.”

In the clip, Slater complains about her young daughter preferring “white princesses” in Disney movies.
Walsh responded by saying his 3-year-old daughter’s favorite princess is Moana, but said he was fearful of committing “cultural appropriation” by allowing her to dress like Moana for Halloween.
“Do I go and buy the Pacific Islander native attire for my white 3-year-old?” Walsh asked Slater, referring to it as “The Moana Problem.”
“I wouldn’t. I f***ing wouldn’t,” she replied.
“It’s almost like no matter which way you go, you end up back in racism,” the podcaster said.
Slater chalked it up to “living in a white supremacist society.”
“Is America an inherently racist country?” Walsh asked. Slater initially tried to avoid making a declarative statement by focusing on the word “inherent” and saying she couldn’t say that for sure. So Walsh tried another tactic. It was all in service of fulfilling the documentary’s mission of exposing the DEI grift.
After suggesting that America was “fundamentally” racist, Slater agreed.
“Fundamentally, yes, America is racist to its bones,” she said.
“Am I Racist?” will hit theaters on September 13. Fans can purchase tickets to a showing near them at amiracist.com.
