Matt Walsh is asked if he see a link between pharmaceuticals and genetically modified food, and whether it's affecting how people see gender. Walsh buys the theory and alludes tangentially to a report he saw about sperm counts among men have decreased significantly over the years. Walsh can't confirm the correlation between genetically modified food and gender dysphoria, but does think that "...clearly there's something in the food."
