On Wednesday, Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh headed to California despite protests and the state’s massive winter storm to speak at Stanford University as part of his “What Is A Woman?” college tour.

During the lecture on Wednesday, Walsh told the packed house that he was there to speak about truth, and specifically “the truth that you are either a man or a woman” — debunking the views of the radical gender ideology movement.

“You do not get to choose which category you belong to,” the host shared. “Your sex is determined without your consent. It is a matter of nature … nobody can transcend this binary arrangement. Nobody can be truly trans.”

“You can only say the word trans, but you can’t actually be it,” he added. “This is what makes gender ideology [the idea it’s fluid] … this is what makes gender ideology insane and poisonous and destructive.”

Walsh also had a message for students who were upset about him speaking at the university following The Stanford Daily publishing a piece, titled “Matt Walsh: A dangerous presence on campus,” in which the author argued that it wasn’t a matter of freedom of speech, but the “lives of our queer and trans students.”

“I just want to state at the start that I am sorry that you think you can get your way through that kind of emotional manipulation,” the host shared. “I am sorry that you’ve been told the world will always bend to your whim. You can’t always get your way.”

Walsh then noted what he called the five objections he hears from those who oppose his views, including, “you’re not qualified to make these statements; you’re not a doctor.”

“First of all I’m defending basic, self-evident truths,” Walsh said. “There are some truths both moral and scientific that are accessible to everyone. And the truth that men are male and women are female is one of the most accessible truths there is.”

“And the answer is, well, because it has to be someone,” he added. “As it turns out, there aren’t that many people who are very eager to stand up here and say all these things. So, I’ll do it, that’s why.”

The college lecture expands upon Walsh’s acclaimed documentary in which he successfully challenges radical ideas about gender ideology. “What Is A Woman?” premiered in June and has a 96% audience score on the review website Rotten Tomatoes.

Wednesday’s event was sponsored by the Stanford College Republicans and Young America’s Foundation. Hours before Walsh spoke, left-wing protestors made it clear that they were going to try and stop the event.

The campus Republican group posted several videos and photos showing leftist protestors “ripping down” their Matt Walsh “flyers in broad daylight.”

The group tweeted that “the left cannot defend the transgender farce, so their only strategy is to silence those who speak out against it. This authoritarian behavior will not stand.”

Later, the group shared footage showing another protestor removing a huge “banner advertising for [Walsh’s] lecture,” showing it had been “taken down AGAIN.”

The group approached and confronted the person who tore it down, asking why they did it. They later recovered it from the person. Another video showed what the group called “triggered leftist” protestors who claimed, “the same way you get to put the flyers up, I get to take them down.”

This is the deranged mentality of the campus left. Watch as we confront ANOTHER leftist for ripping down our flyers 👇👇@MattWalshBlog @yaf pic.twitter.com/Nsjo1251ns

“This is the deranged mentality of the campus left,” the tweet added. “Watch as we confront ANOTHER leftist for ripping down our flyers.”

On Tuesday, protestors set fire to flyers promoting Walsh’s appearance, The College Fix reported. The Republican group on campus tweeted photos showing the flyers advertising Walsh’s event set ablaze by protesters. Eventbrite, the platform promoting the event, even removed the speech’s ticketing page. At the last minute, organizers then had to set up a new ticketing platform, the outlet noted.

With @MattWalshBlog coming to Stanford March 1st, Leftists are losing their minds. Just last night leftists made the point by TORCHING our flyers.

We deny covering any well-meaning flyers intentionally, but is lighting our flyers on FIRE really a rational reaction? @yaf pic.twitter.com/gkzNIG772F

“Remarkably, in a country founded on the principles of free speech and expression, some still think they control what others can see and hear,” YAF spokesperson Michael McGonigle told the outlet. “Fortunately, they’re wrong. It’s easier to burn posters than show up and engage in a respectful exchange of ideas—perhaps out of fear they may agree with what they hear.”

In an article last week by the Stanford College Republicans, titled “Why We Invited Matt Walsh,” the group wrote that in a place where “the leftist gender-bending ideology is the norm—embraced, or at least tacitly supported, by nearly all professors and administrators,” it was “more important than ever for students to engage” with Walsh’s ideas.

Family members of a man who reportedly went missing earlier this month in southern Argentina allegedly identified his tattooed dismembered arm that two fishermen discovered inside a captured school shark.

According to local media, Diego Barría, 32, an oil worker and father of two children, was last seen driving an ATV along the coast in the southern Chubut province on February 18. Two days later, authorities located the damaged vehicle on a beach near Rocas Coloradas.

Barría was nowhere to be found.

Daniela Millatruz, the leading law enforcement officer in charge of the search, told local media that two fishermen alerted coast guard authorities after catching three school sharks nearby where authorities had located Barría’s ATV.

“When they were cleaning them, they found human remains in one of them,” Millatruz said, adding that Barría’s family members were able to identify they belonged to their kin “due to a tattoo that appeared in one of those remains.”

The New York Post reported hours before authorities were notified of Barría’s remains, a pair of sunglasses were discovered near the area where the ATV was found, which Barría’s mother confirmed belonged to her deceased son.

Millatruz said authorities have begun investigating if another vehicle was involved, presuming Barría was involved in an accident.

José Mazzei, a Civil Protection spokesperson, told local media the agency has two hypotheses about Barría.

“One, that he was injured,” Mazzei said. “And the other, which has more weight to it, is that due to the damage to the quad, he was knocked unconscious on the coast, and the strong high tide dragged him away.”

Comodoro Rivadavia Police Chief Cristian Ansaldo told local media that the shark carrying the human remains measured around 4.9 feet, and he hypothesized Barría “had an accident and was dragged.”

“One of the strongest hypotheses is that it collided with a rock and the body was carried away by the sea, but we are going to handle all the hypotheses with the evidence found in the place,” he said.

Authorities will conduct an official DNA test of the remains to confirm they belong to Barría.

Virginia Brugger, Barría’s widow, wrote on Facebook Sunday, “My heart went with you!”

“I love you forever,” she said.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.
