The Baseball Game that Changed America Forever

One year ago, Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh asked a question that most Americans dared not say out loud: “Am I racist?” That simple yet provocative question became the title of his documentary, which helped to expose the grift of America’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) industry. What began as a satirical inquiry quickly evolved into a defining cultural moment.  A year after “Am I Racist?” was released on DailyWire+, it remains one of the most significant and successful pieces of documentary filmmaking in recent history. The film continues to expose hypocrisy, invite reflection, and shake up the status quo like never before.  WATCH ‘AM I RACIST?’ ON DAILYWIRE+ When the film premiered last fall, fans were delighted with the unexpected humor that came from simply exposing lies. “Am I Racist?” took the DEI movement’s own language, placed it under a microscope, and dared to ask if the people profiting from America’s obsession with race were really solving anything at all. Walsh interviewed well-known DEI advocates such as Saira Rao and Robin DiAngelo. Some of the comments made by the race-obsessed activists would almost be unbelievable if they hadn’t been filmed and turned into a documentary for the world to see.  In one scene, Walsh, sporting a man bun, convinces DiAngelo that she had a “powerful opportunity” to display her commitment to anti-racism by giving his black producer, Ben, money from her purse. Another scene features Rao lecturing her “Race to Dinner” guests about how racist they are. In his disguise, Walsh joins the conversation and makes some hilariously ridiculous remarks that the guests go along with. Rao later called “Am I Racist?” a “fascist Nazi white supremacy film.” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters.

That premise struck a chord not only with conservatives, but also with a surprising number of viewers across the political spectrum who recognized the absurdity of the movement. The results spoke for themselves. “Am I Racist?” became the top-grossing documentary of the past decade, earning over $12 million domestically after it hit theaters a month before its release on DailyWire+. Critics largely refused to review it, yet audiences responded by watching it anyway. It was one of only 15 documentaries ever to open in over 1,500 theaters and earned the third-highest opening day gross for a documentary in the last decade. “Am I Racist?” was predictably snubbed from the Oscar shortlist despite the film’s record-breaking box office success and massive cultural influence.  The film’s near-perfect audience score coupled with a conspicuous silence from the mainstream press only proved Walsh’s point. While regular people were ready to have an honest conversation about race, power, and the industry profiting on outrage, the mainstream media who had been supporting this nonsense wasn’t ready to take a look in the mirror. The film’s success wasn’t an accident. It’s proof that when you strip away buzzwords, Americans still crave truth more than comforting lies.That statement holds up even more today. Twelve months later, the same institutions satirized in “Am I Racist?” are deeply entrenched in many cases, but slowly people are starting to wake up. While DEI initiatives remain fixtures in corporate and academic life, there have also been mass layoffs and elimination of entire departments devoted to identity politics. Even the White House clamped down on DEI being pushed in the federal government and at public schools and universities after President Donald Trump was sworn into office earlier this year. Walsh’s approach was unorthodox but effective. He didn’t lecture; he listened. He attended DEI training sessions, spoke directly with self-proclaimed “experts,” and treated their jargon with seriousness, allowing the experts to prove out their ineptitude onscreen. Walsh wasn’t mocking them. He was giving them a platform to express their beliefs and letting the results speak for themselves.   The genius of the documentary lay in its tone. The humor served a purpose as it helped to reveal how the modern language of “anti-racism” often conceals deeper contradictions. What Walsh uncovered was not an effort to heal division, but a lucrative enterprise that profits from keeping it alive. In January, The Daily Wire released “Clearing the A.I.R.: The Making of Am I Racist?,” a companion film that pulls back the curtain on how a deceptively simple question became one of the year’s most challenging cultural commentaries. Those behind-the-scenes insights only deepened public appreciation for the documentary’s impact, not merely as entertainment, but as a jumping off point for a cultural movement. What distinguishes “Am I Racist” from other documentaries is its refusal to moralize. Walsh does not tell the viewer what to think. Instead, he shows them the DEI industry operating in real time and allows viewers to draw their own conclusions. That restraint is rare in modern media, and it’s part of why the film continues to resonate. At its core, “Am I Racist?” isn’t just about race, and it’s not a political statement either. It’s about discovering the truth and refusing to be quiet.  The first anniversary of “Am I Racist?” marks more than a milestone for The Daily Wire or for Matt Walsh’s filmography. It represents a pivotal shift in how the public tackles big ideas that progressive institutions have taken for granted far too long. The DEI establishment will not vanish overnight, nor will the culture wars end anytime soon. But “Am I Racist?” has shown what’s possible when conservative filmmakers aren’t afraid to ask the questions you’re not allowed to ask.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten voiced his own surprise on Tuesday as polls indicate that Republicans are not seeing a drop in popularity due to the ongoing government shutdown. Enten joined CNN host John Berman to discuss the shutdown and how it might eventually come to an end — and Berman predicted that “political pain,” for one party or the other, would be what ultimately brought people to the table. Enten pushed back, noting that Democrats might be the ones feeling the pain. WATCH: #BREAKING: Republicans’ polling has improved during Democrat government shutdown CNN: “The Republican brand in Congress has actually improved” incl. with Independents ? Plus alarm bells for Democrats: “The worst position Democrats have been…in the last 20 years” ? pic.twitter.com/g0hWYhsChM — Ben Petersen (@bennpetersen) October 28, 2025 “One thing that might end a shutdown is political pain, if parties start to feel that it’s hurting them. So let’s talk about that, starting with Republicans. How has the shutdown seemed to have affected their political standing?” Berman prompted. “Yeah, you might think, given that the Republicans are in charge of both the House and the Senate, that a government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand. But in fact, it hasn’t!” Enten replied. “If anything, it’s been helped a little bit! Take a look here, the shift in net popularity versus pre-shutdown. When we’re looking at the Republican Party overall, that brand, actually up two points. That’s within the margin of error, but clearly it hasn’t dropped. Come over to this side of the screen, look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It’s actually up five points since pre-shutdown! So what we’re seeing here is the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were pre-shutdown, despite the fact that Republicans control. And that’s the math that John Thune and Mike Johnson are looking at is, ‘Hey, why should we give in, electorally speaking, when our brand has actually improved a little bit?'” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters. Go to DailyWire.com/Subscribe to join now. Berman pressed for details, asking whether Republicans were only getting more popular with die-hards or were they making gains across other demographics: “Now we say their position is getting better, with whom?” “It’s rallying the base for sure. Look at this, the net approval rating up 12 points versus pre-shutdown,” Enten began — but he did not stop there. “But it’s not just with the base, it’s also with the middle of the electorate. Look at this among independents, it’s up eight points as well! So we’ve got a situation here where Republicans with the shutdown are actually rallying their base, but it’s also something that’s not hurting them with the folks in the middle. If anything, it’s helping them with folks in the middle, and this is the type of math that if you’re Republicans, you like to see, right? Because something could rally the base, but alienate those in the middle, or something could rally those in the middle, but alienate the base.” “But the truth is, we’re not seeing that. What we’re seeing is the Republican brand has actually gotten better among independents and it’s also gotten better among Republicans as well, that Republican brand when it comes to those in Congress,” Enten added. “So again, what’s the electoral reason that Republicans would give in at this point?” “And Democrats, of course, they have their eyes on the midterm elections. Yeah, we have elections one week from today, but what Democrats in Congress are mostly focused on are one year and one week from today, from the midterms. So how do Democrats, how are they positioned right now?” Berman asked. Enten broke out the worst news, noting that Democrats were actually losing ground as the midterms crept closer. “You look at this point back when Trump was president the first time around, Democrats were up 11 points. Look at where it is now. Democrats are ahead, but they’re actually only up three points. This is, in fact, the worst position Democrats have been on in a generic ballot at this time in a midterm when there was a Republican president in the last 20 years. And this is no different from pre-shutdown. So Republicans aren’t losing on this metric either. They’ve become more popular, and they’re in a pretty good position for them historically when it comes to the generic congressional ballot.” “This is a concerning number for Democrats, are you saying?” Berman tried one more time. “This is a concerning number for Democrats, because it’s considerably worse than they traditionally do in midterm elections when there’s a Republican president,” Enten confirmed the worst.

KINGSTON — Hurricane Melissa made landfall in western Jamaica early Tuesday afternoon as a powerful Category 5 storm and the strongest ever to directly hit the Caribbean nation of 2.8 million people. Melissa made landfall near the town of New Hope, some 62 km (39 miles) south of Montego Bay, packing maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory. The most powerful level on the Saffir-Simpson scale, Category 5, requires speeds of at least 157 mph. The slow-moving storm is forecast to remain a powerful hurricane as it crosses the mountainous island, whose highland communities are vulnerable to landslides and flooding, and heads towards Santiago de Cuba, Cuba’s second-largest city. The Miami-based hurricane center warned that “total structural failure” was likely in Melissa’s path. “The destruction could be unlike anything people in Jamaica have seen before,” said U.S. forecaster AccuWeather’s lead hurricane expert, Alex DaSilva. “The island has never taken a direct hit from a Category 4 or a Category 5 hurricane in recorded history.” Melissa is the third most intense hurricane observed in the Caribbean after Wilma in 2005 and Gilbert in 1988, according to AccuWeather. Gilbert was the last major storm to directly hit the island. Shortly before landfall, Jamaican electric utility JPS said power outages had affected more than a third of its customers. In its worst-hit parishes, some three-quarters of customers lost power, JPS said. Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie told reporters that nearly 6,000 people had moved into temporary shelters. The government had issued mandatory evacuation orders for some 28,000 people, but some were reluctant to leave their homes. “Don’t bet against Melissa, because you will lose,” warned McKenzie, as authorities implored residents to seek protection in shelters and fortify their residences. JAMAICA’S ‘STORM OF THE CENTURY’ “It’s a catastrophic situation,” the World Meteorological Organization’s tropical cyclone specialist Anne-Claire Fontan told a press briefing. “For Jamaica, it will be the storm of the century for sure.” Storm surges of up to four meters were expected, she said, with rainfall set to exceed 70 cm (2.3 feet), causing “catastrophic flash flooding and landslides,” she said. Nearby Haiti and the Dominican Republic have faced days of torrential downpours leading to at least four deaths, authorities said. At least three people died during storm preparations in Jamaica, local media reported. After crossing eastern Cuba, still as a powerful storm, Melissa is forecast to head through the Bahamas, where Prime Minister Philip Davis has ordered evacuations for people in southern and eastern parts of the archipelago. In Cuba, authorities said they had evacuated upwards of 500,000 people from areas vulnerable to winds and flooding. “There are no half measures,” Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said in a message published in state newspaper Granma, in which he urged people in areas vulnerable to flooding, strong winds, and storm surges to evacuate and accept help. “Melissa will arrive with force, and there’s great concern about what it could destroy in its wake,” he said. STORM INTENSIFIED ON APPROACH Melissa’s slow movement over unusually tepid Caribbean water had contributed to its ballooning size and strength, NHC forecasters said, threatening Jamaica with days of never-before-seen catastrophic winds and rain. Melissa could bring up to 30 inches (762 mm) of rain to parts of Jamaica, and up to 12 inches to parts of the island of Hispaniola, the NHC said. The International Federation of the Red Cross said up to 1.5 million people in Jamaica were expected to be directly affected by the storm. “Today will be very difficult for tens of thousands, if not millions of people in Jamaica,” IFRC official Necephor Mghendi said via video link from Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. “Roofs will be tested, flood waters will rise, isolation will become a harsh reality for many.” To enable swift relief distribution, essential items — tarpaulins, hygiene kits, blankets, and safe drinking water — had been pre-positioned in Red Cross branches on the island, he said, with over 800 shelters set up for evacuees. ‘A DIRE SITUATION UNFOLDING IN SLOW MOTION’ Melissa made landfall in southwestern Jamaica, which was one of the areas worst-hit by last year’s Hurricane Beryl. On Monday, Prime Minister Andrew Holness ordered mandatory evacuations for parts of southern Jamaica, including the historic town of Port Royal. He warned of damage to farmlands, homes, and infrastructure on the island, which is roughly the size of Connecticut and whose main airports sit close to sea level. “There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5,” he said. Holness said his government was as prepared as possible, with an emergency response budget of $33 million and insurance and credit provisions for damage a little larger than that sustained from Beryl. Beryl was the earliest and fastest Atlantic hurricane on record to reach Category 5. “Slow-moving major hurricanes often go down in history as some of the deadliest and most destructive storms on record,” said AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter. “This is a dire situation unfolding in slow motion.” (Reporting by Zahra Burton in Kingston, Sarah Morland in Mexico City, Dave Sherwood in Havana, Emma Farge in Geneva and Ashitha Shivaprasad in Bengaluru; Writing by Brendan O’Boyle; Editing by Kirsti Knolle, Ros Russell and Rod Nickel)
