What do you make of this?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walsh told Carlson that selling his book on the site makes him an \u201cabuser of Amazon\u2019s system,\u201d according to the Amazon employees. He also described how one of the meeting hosts started to cry as he discussed Walsh\u2019s \u201ctraumatic\u201d book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m thinking to myself: First of all, I\u2019m just a humble children\u2019s author in a cardigan,\u201d Walsh said, donning a red cardigan over a yellow dress shirt for the interview. \u201cAnd frankly, I think their behavior towards me is marginalizing me and invalidating my lived experience as a children\u2019s author.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walsh went on to explain the book\u2019s message that focuses on a boy who believes he\u2019s a walrus, and his mother goes along with her child\u2019s desired identity, regardless of how crazy it sounds. <\/span><span>\u201cIt\u2019s about true self-acceptance,\u201d the bestselling children\u2019s author told Carlson. He said the book teaches children to accept who they are biologically, which is their true self.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe message of self-acceptance when I was a kid was the most common message in books we read. Except now on the Left, what they foist on kids is this false self-acceptance of actually rejecting who you really are in favor of a delusion,\u201d Walsh said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Carlson mentioned the strange behavior of Amazon, a company that profits from selling books and hires employees who are so sensitive to opposing ideas. \u201cHow did Bezos end up with employees like this?\u201d the Fox News host asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walsh answered by saying that large corporations and media companies have set up a system where it\u2019s nearly impossible for conservatives to succeed. \u201cThat\u2019s what they\u2019re upset with Elon Musk about,\u201d Walsh said, referencing the billionaire\u2019s purchase of Twitter on Monday to the immediate disapproval of many on the Left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A baffled Carlson again asked why Amazon would want \u201ccensors\u201d running their company. \u201cShouldn\u2019t they be worried?\u201d he asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walsh agreed that Amazon should be worried about its employees wanting to censor any book. \u201cI would also point out just what they choose to censor and what they choose not to,\u201d referencing a top-selling children\u2019s book that promotes chemical castration for young children. \u201cThat\u2019s the kind of book they\u2019re okay with,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cNot my book \u2018Johnny the Walrus.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Matt Walsh <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mattwalshblog<\/a> joins Tucker Carlson after Amazon employees were heard plotting how to take down his children&#8217;s book &#8220;Johnny the Walrus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1es1jZ3wuL\">https:\/\/t.co\/1es1jZ3wuL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OguLEqj4K7\">pic.twitter.com\/OguLEqj4K7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1519117574717460483?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
