On this, the 527th day of 15 days to slow the spread,
00:00:42.560
the leader of the formerly free world, Dr. Fauci, is finally offering guidance
00:00:47.380
on when we will finally have slowed the spread and flattened the curve
00:01:00.780
I do want to ask you something about you that you said to NPR today.
00:01:03.940
You said if the majority of Americans get vaccinated, quote,
00:01:06.640
we could start to really get some good control over this as we get back into the fall of 2022,
00:01:22.000
When I listened to the tape, I meant to say the spring of 2022.
00:01:28.400
And in the conversation with Mary Louise Kelly, she was saying,
00:01:32.120
when do I think we're going to start to get some control?
00:01:34.420
I said, if we can get through this winter and get really the majority,
00:01:39.580
overwhelming majority of the 90 million people who have not been vaccinated, vaccinated,
00:01:44.720
I hope we could start to get some good control in the spring of 2022.
00:01:56.360
It's just going to be a little more than half a year.
00:01:58.800
And boy, is that a relief, you see, because I thought it would be a year before we could
00:02:03.080
Instead, it's just going to be 207 more days for a total of 734 days to slow the spread,
00:02:11.260
which is just shy of 50 times as long as they initially told us that it would be before they
00:02:19.560
But I bet they're telling the truth this time, right?
00:02:31.680
My favorite comment yesterday from Lewis Fishman, who says, we haven't lost any equipment.
00:02:38.880
It's right there where we abandoned it in Afghanistan.
00:02:44.960
This was actually the point I made in my column on Afghanistan.
00:02:48.880
You can't lose a war that you never set goals to win.
00:02:54.600
You can't lose if you set out to lose in the first place, right?
00:03:02.780
We all lose when big tech companies spy on our data, which is why I would strongly recommend
00:03:12.560
A VPN is a simple app for your computer or smartphone that encrypts all your network data
00:03:17.940
and tunnels it through this secure server so that your ISP, your internet service provider,
00:03:24.540
When I go online, I go online with ExpressVPN, the best out there.
00:03:30.740
If the NSA spying on Tucker Carlson didn't convince you of this, then I don't know what
00:03:43.940
I recommend ExpressVPN as the best way to hide your online activity from your ISP.
00:03:48.280
You just download the app, tap one button on your device, and you're protected.
00:03:55.660
We are living in the age of surveillance capitalism.
00:03:59.500
Stop handing over your personal data to the ISPs.

00:04:15.540
How much longer is Dr. Fauci going to be able to keep up this charade?
00:04:22.680
The answer is for as long as people believe him.
00:04:25.080
And obviously, if you're listening to this show, you probably do not believe Dr. Fauci
00:04:31.540
very much because he has lied, because he has been wrong, because he has misled on many
00:04:38.980
But just that number, how do people get over that number?
00:04:53.600
It's going to be over two years by the time this is all done.
00:05:00.940
I don't know why we would believe that it'll only be two years now.
00:05:03.820
They have radically extended the timeline again and again.
00:05:13.320
But the other thing that you just mentioned now is they're going to give a lot of incentive
00:05:19.200
and backing for a lot of institutions and organizations and places of employment to mandate.
00:05:26.580
And that could be colleges, university, the military, organizations that employ a lot of
00:05:33.700
Some of the big corporations are going to say, if you want to work for us in person, you've
00:05:45.180
But when you're talking about a public health crisis that we've been going through now for
00:05:49.820
well over a year and a half, the time has come.
00:06:00.200
But when politicians use the word but, almost always they do so to negate whatever they
00:06:19.840
This jerk, this jerk, why he is permitted to pontificate after being wrong on so many
00:06:30.860
things and admitting to lying about other things, like the masks, right?
00:06:33.840
He said, well, the reason I said that the masks don't work is because I wanted to save
00:06:40.400
So he's saying, it's not, I thought there would be a shortage, right?
00:06:43.320
He's not saying he said the masks wouldn't work because he thought the masks wouldn't work.
00:06:47.880
He's saying, I said the masks wouldn't work because I wanted to save them for people who
00:06:57.940
I mean, I've mentioned this before, how he has no credibility.
00:07:00.100
But as a political matter, this is actually probably a strength for Fauci.
00:07:06.920
If Fauci just stuck by his story for the entirety of the lockdowns, then it would be very easy
00:07:20.660
That's not how he's operated since the beginning of his career, going all the way back to AIDS.
00:07:24.800
Because Fauci holds virtually every side of every issue at some point so that he always
00:07:36.300
He'll have gotten everything else wrong, but he'll have always gotten something right.
00:07:39.080
If he's constantly changing, then you can't just look to the science.
00:07:50.920
That's, that's the, I mean, this is what demagogues do.
00:07:55.380
They take away your attention from some objective truth or some principle, and they just put it in
00:08:03.140
And Fauci's will is going to extend this for now, at least another, what, seven, eight months?
00:08:10.800
So, of course, people are making comparisons to tyrants.
00:08:18.460
And yes, people are comparing Fauci to Hitler and to Nazis.
00:08:21.960
Now, I, I don't generally make Nazi comparisons because I, I find that people only make those
00:08:26.640
comparisons because they don't really know anything else about history.
00:08:29.880
So they'll say, when, you know, Trump is Hitler, it's because they don't, they don't know anything
00:08:33.380
about any historical event other than World War II.
00:08:37.020
And even that, they probably don't know very much about, but they've, they've at least heard
00:08:39.660
the name Hitler's, they say, you're like Hitler, but there are other historical events.
00:08:42.760
So I, I generally don't make the Nazi comparisons, but Dr. Fauci is very upset because people are
00:08:51.300
How do you feel when you hear Republican state lawmakers in Maine and elsewhere, and we played
00:08:56.240
a clip a moment ago, comparing public health officials, scientists such as yourself, doctors
00:09:01.540
trying to get Americans vaccinated, to Nazis, to Joseph Mengele, talking about Nuremberg trials
00:09:14.200
I mean, anybody who has any common sense and looks at that and sees what they are doing,
00:09:20.440
the same people that are saying it's being like a Nazi to try and get somebody to do an
00:09:26.740
intervention that would save their life at the same time that they're jumping around,
00:09:33.540
grabbing ivermectin and getting toxicity from it.
00:09:41.940
It's so irresponsible to compare anyone to a Nazi, especially after we just had President
00:09:56.020
I don't want to hear any complaint about Fauci being called Hitler or a Nazi or Mengele or
00:10:01.160
The left almost exclusively compares Republicans to Nazis.
00:10:06.380
They did it, obviously, for the entirety of Trump.
00:10:08.800
People forget now they did it for the entirety of the George W. Bush administration.
00:10:18.220
I don't care about his political power that he's maintained for, what, five decades now
00:10:36.400
He probably won't be because these guys have power and they're going to wield it.
00:10:42.920
He summed up the left's approach to you, your society, your rights, and your way of
00:10:52.360
So, you know, you'll remember when the vaccine first came out, de Blasio was just offering
00:11:00.540
He said, if you go, he was eating the cheeseburger live in person.
00:11:16.480
Then he's offering the stick, which is you're going to be punished if you don't get it because
00:11:25.900
Look, human beings do well when they have carrot and stick.
00:11:29.240
So a mandate helps people to realize it's time.
00:11:36.680
Now, the Biden administration could do something else that would really help us all move forward,
00:11:40.220
speed the approval of the vaccine for the five to 11 year olds.
00:11:48.440
We pretended that you had freedom for a while, but now it's time.
00:11:53.120
OK, and we need to follow the science, which is why I, a politician and pressuring scientists
00:11:58.080
to speed up the approval of the experimental drug for children, even though children face
00:12:01.740
very, very low risk from coronavirus because of the science.
00:12:11.180
They don't think that you are a person to be persuaded.
00:12:15.080
They think you are an animal to be bribed and goaded and prodded.
00:12:20.040
That's it's not just de Blasio who thinks that it's Fauci.
00:12:25.660
And unfortunately, they've got the power, so very often it works, whether we like it
00:12:32.940
If you want to protect yourself from these sorts of things, I would strongly recommend
00:12:39.620
We got Labor Day coming up, looking past that Columbus Day, Thanksgiving even, not too
00:12:45.900
People might be coming to your house and you're probably going to want to know who's at the
00:12:49.760
And that's why I would strongly recommend Ring Alarm.
00:12:55.800
Ring will allow you to see and speak to whoever is on your doorstep, whether that person is
00:13:01.560
the delivery guy or the milkman or the burglar, or maybe it's your in-laws coming in for the
00:13:05.480
holidays and maybe you're going to react differently depending on who is at that door.
00:13:11.060
I'm just saying maybe it's good to know that sort of stuff, whether you're in your house,
00:13:14.400
whether you're at the office, whether you are on a beach on the other side of the
00:13:20.620
You can keep an eye on every inch of your house with their terrific equipment.
00:13:29.980
You get a special offer on a Ring Alarm security kit today.
00:13:46.740
Okay, I think this is one of the arguments for the people who said, why are we still in
00:13:51.100
One of the arguments really had nothing to do with Afghanistan.
00:14:01.820
Sure, Trump right now is still saying, and a lot of Trump supporters are saying, that the
00:14:07.280
You're not, I think you're not allowed to say that anymore on social media, which kind
00:14:10.960
But Democrats have been saying that 2016 was rigged from the beginning, including Hillary
00:14:18.240
We've had increasingly little faith in our election, I suppose decreasing faith in our
00:14:26.800
We no longer trust our other established institutions beyond the elections.
00:14:34.400
We just saw leftist militants burn city after city after city last year.
00:14:40.260
We have lost our rights to go to work in many places, our rights to go to church in many places,
00:14:47.700
our right to go to the restaurant in many places.
00:14:51.940
So we're seeing less and less faith in our fellow citizens.
00:14:57.180
No one trusts that Joe Biden is even awake at this point.
00:15:00.640
So no one trusts that we have a properly functioning president within the constitutional order.
00:15:06.460
They believe that the kind of bureaucracy and establishment is running the show, which it
00:15:13.820
No one believes that Joe Biden is capable at this point of sitting in the Oval Office and
00:15:20.980
making sophisticated grand strategic decisions about the country.
00:15:26.080
Even if this were him making that, it would actually prove the point all the more, looking
00:15:31.000
at what's happened in Afghanistan, looking at what's happened on the economy, looking at
00:15:43.500
They say, how the Taliban turned social media into a tool for control.
00:16:01.400
But they don't seem to be able, they can see what's going on overseas.
00:16:03.960
They can't see what's going on in our own country.
00:16:05.720
So in the 1990s, the Taliban banned the internet.
00:16:08.140
Now they use it to threaten and cajole the Afghan people in a sign of how they might use technology
00:16:17.420
No one else is using social media as a tool for control.
00:16:21.020
Social media, the big tech companies, weren't actually just built as a tool for control,
00:16:25.580
as a tool of surveillance capitalism and behavior modification.
00:16:28.760
That's not actually their entire raison d'etre, right?
00:16:33.740
The regime in Afghanistan is now using social media to incentivize people to do the things
00:16:39.560
they want and to punish them for doing the things they don't want.
00:16:44.300
We would never have such control and behavior modification through social media that big
00:16:49.740
tech oligarchs and the establishment would censor the duly elected sitting president, right?
00:17:02.020
There was a tweet going around regarding the Taliban, and it said,
00:17:07.260
Now, after many years, Afghanistan has been liberated from a regime that forces people
00:17:12.820
to wear facial coverings, destroy statues, and mutilates the genitals of children.
00:17:22.580
I'm not drawing an equivalence here between the liberal regime and the Taliban, but I am
00:17:30.300
showing you that there are some commonalities here in that statecraft, in the way that
00:17:36.360
political people use coercion to shape a country, in the way that the regimes look at their various
00:17:46.520
And that's a problem because I'm not saying that America is like Afghanistan, that we're
00:17:56.680
But I am saying that we're on a bad trajectory, okay, and we're going to need to turn things
00:18:02.700
And I think if we had a thriving country, a flourishing country where things were stable
00:18:07.540
and people were free, I suspect there would be little objection to going to Afghanistan
00:18:13.060
or anywhere else and spreading the American vision of society and exerting our influence.
00:18:17.660
But the problem is we can barely keep things together here right now.
00:18:21.200
So you got to build up that country a little bit.
00:18:23.040
We can't even bring our guys back from Afghanistan.
00:18:26.500
We can't even summon the political will to do that.
00:18:39.980
But he shows up finally and he gives his update on the debacle in Afghanistan.
00:18:45.180
Before I update you on the meeting that I had with the leaders of the G7 earlier today,
00:18:53.560
I want to say a word about the progress we're making on the Build Back Better agenda here
00:19:00.400
I just got off the telephone with the leaders in the House.
00:19:04.420
Today, the House of Representatives has taken a significant step toward making historic
00:19:08.960
investment that's going to transform America, cut taxes for working families, and position
00:19:14.580
the American economy for long-term, long-term growth.
00:19:21.380
The country that we have been occupying for 20 years has now collapsed within a matter of
00:19:28.500
The Taliban has stolen all of our military equipment, taken all of our bases.
00:19:34.000
They're now holding Americans hostage behind enemy lines.
00:19:36.960
The United States is already signaling that they will leave those Americans behind.
00:19:41.840
We're all waiting on an update because we haven't really heard very much from Joe Biden
00:19:46.980
And you're going to open the press conference talking about building back better?
00:19:59.580
I'm sure, I'm sure that for the Americans stuck behind enemy lines, cowering in,
00:20:06.960
huts, as the Taliban go door to door, knock, knock, knock, where are the Westerners so we
00:20:12.640
I'm sure it's going to be a great comfort and consolation that they know that Joe Biden
00:20:17.840
is maybe going to reduce the cost of community college.
00:20:31.320
Now, the reason he's opening his press conference this way is he's got nothing on Afghanistan.
00:20:38.520
He can't, there is not one single thing that he has done in Afghanistan that he can point
00:20:44.180
to and say this was anything less than a disaster.
00:20:48.080
And so he's got to talk about his plans for lowering the cost of a gender studies degree
00:20:55.660
or whatever, but he's got nothing on Afghanistan.
00:20:59.020
So then he goes out, he talks about this stupid budget thing.
00:21:03.140
And then he says, oh yeah, by the way, in Afghanistan, we're, uh, we've, we were told
00:21:13.240
Uh, we're probably going to, he's, the implication is we're probably going to leave Americans
00:21:18.220
And then he turns around and he leaves and he walks out.
00:21:23.680
Turn the president's back better on reporters from whom he will not answer a single question
00:21:30.880
because he can't, because there's no political win there.
00:21:35.460
The spokesman at the White House had to go out.
00:21:37.640
Her job is to talk to reporters and she was pushed on this.
00:21:42.100
I thought there were thousands of Americans behind enemy lines.
00:21:45.820
You're refusing to send in the forces necessary to get them out.
00:21:50.100
So are you saying that we're going to leave Americans in Afghanistan?
00:21:55.560
Say after the withdrawal, it's done, you know, it's declared, it's done.
00:22:01.020
If one U.S. citizen was suddenly discovered, you know, saying, hey, I really want to get out
00:22:05.520
and I'm stuck, who knows where, somewhere in Afghanistan or in Kabul, he's got any problem.
00:22:09.740
Would this trigger a diplomatic, military, all hands on deck type thing to get that person
00:22:17.900
Our commitment continues to be to U.S. citizens.
00:22:20.460
If they want to leave, we will help get them out.
00:22:23.960
Again, we expect there could be some, but I don't, I'm not going to get into it further.
00:22:29.720
Well, she tried to use this mealy mouth language and it just didn't work.
00:22:37.660
We hope, we want to, and if they want to get out, we'll try to help them get out, but
00:22:45.340
And she says, yes, we do, but I don't want to get into it.
00:22:53.220
So you're cracking down on our liberties at home.
00:22:55.560
You're cracking down on our rights, our tradition, our way of life, upending that entirely.
00:23:00.800
You can see whether people wearing the secular keffiyeh there in the press briefing room,
00:23:06.620
masking up there, not even, not allowed to go out.
00:23:09.660
Increasingly now, not allowed to go to restaurants, not allowed to go to church,
00:23:13.400
So you're going to lock us down here and then you're going to leave us behind overseas.
00:23:18.020
That's, that is what this liberal regime is telling you.
00:23:26.320
We're going to ship all the Afghani people over here.
00:23:30.200
And we're being told that they're being properly vetted,
00:23:32.560
but we've got proof now coming out from the United Kingdom
00:23:44.280
Now, if you want someone who won't derelict his duty to work for your company,
00:23:47.820
I would strongly recommend you check out ZipRecruiter.
00:23:53.080
I was there for a wedding and I'm walking around France and I noticed something.
00:23:57.560
There's only about one waiter at every restaurant.
00:24:01.520
And it's not just because the French are known for a little leisurely take on, on labor.
00:24:07.880
If you go to restaurants in America, you go to stores in America right now, you can't get workers.
00:24:12.780
You, I mean, you probably know this with your own company.
00:24:14.420
The people have not been working all that much, usually because of lockdowns and mandates over the past year.

With everything going on from the Afghanistan debacle to vaccine mandates,
00:25:00.160
I'm not sure there's a better place to talk about it all than backstage.
00:25:03.180
Join us tomorrow, Thursday, August 26th at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central on dailywire.com

00:25:19.500
Go to dailywire.com slash S-B-G submissions and tonight at midnight, go check it out.
00:25:26.680
Also, we've got a great exciting announcement to share today.
00:25:30.460
Deadline Hollywood just released the details and an exclusive photo of the Daily Wire's first original movie.
00:25:36.720
It's called Shut In. It's directed by DJ Caruso, executive produced by Daily Wire's co-founders.
00:25:42.840
Production on the thriller wrapped this weekend.
00:25:45.740
It will be available to Daily Wire members beginning in January 2022.
00:25:49.640
This film is centered around a young single mother who is barricaded inside a pantry by her violent ex-boyfriend
00:25:54.580
while using nothing but her voice to guide her two small children to escape escalating danger.
00:25:59.840
It's an intense, suspenseful thriller, delivers riveting action without missing a beat.
00:26:07.080
We know our members are going to love this film.
00:26:08.820
We entered the entertainment space in order to send Hollywood a message that
00:26:11.540
you no longer have a monopoly in the film industry.
00:26:14.060
The release of Shut In is just the next step in proving it.
00:26:18.620
We're getting a report out of the United Kingdom that the supreme vetting of all of our Afghan allies,
00:26:39.420
we know exactly who's coming into the West from this war-torn country,
00:26:44.980
which is extremely violent, which has had terrible terrorism problems.
00:26:50.120
Even though we're airlifting tens of thousands of people at a time,
00:26:52.680
we know exactly who's coming in, except maybe we don't.
00:26:56.420
A person just entered the United Kingdom from Afghanistan who had been on the no-fly list.
00:27:03.140
Now, this person was later not deemed by the UK to be a person of interest
00:27:09.420
in whatever terrorism investigation they're undertaking.
00:27:16.720
The point of the no-fly list, maybe you support the no-fly list, maybe you don't.
00:27:22.980
is that people who are considered a threat are not permitted onto airplanes.
00:27:33.080
It's good news, I guess, that this person was not considered to be a dangerous enough threat
00:27:38.520
But how did that person get on the plane in the first place?
00:27:43.640
Because obviously, the Afghan people who are now being flown into this country and others
00:27:49.560
by the tens and hundreds of thousands can't be properly vetted.
00:27:56.280
We're already going to leave Americans in Afghanistan.
00:28:00.700
There's no way that you can do a proper vetting to get everybody out.
00:28:03.980
Joe Biden refuses to force the Taliban to extend the deadline to get out.
00:28:09.420
So we're just trying to race against the clock here.
00:28:15.340
We are going to take into just this country possibly 100,000 Afghan refugees.
00:28:24.360
Something tells me they're not all going to be properly vetted.
00:28:37.880
Do we think that not one bad guy is going to make it in there?
00:28:43.560
Do we think that every single person there is going to be just thrilled to join in a
00:28:49.440
They're all going to just salute the flag and eat apple pie and sing the national anthem.
00:28:56.160
Well, frankly, most Americans these days don't sing the national anthem, so never mind about that.
00:29:03.500
Because the people, the liberal imperialists on the left and the right are telling us that
00:29:09.840
if we in any way raise any questions about taking in any fewer than hundreds of thousands
00:29:14.440
of Afghan migrants, that that is terrible, evil, immoral, un-American.
00:29:23.340
Can the United States handle that kind of stuff right now?
00:29:27.540
I'm not even talking about the Afghan migrants in particular.
00:29:30.900
I'm just talking about the open borders, taking in the whole world, taking in millions of people
00:29:36.340
Are we really in a good position to handle that?
00:29:38.480
Because as far as I can tell, our national policy has been completely bungled.
00:29:45.560
If we're losing our national identity and cohesion, I don't even know what the migrants will be
00:29:59.560
Meanwhile, back overseas, we've now heard from the Pentagon, they've admitted that the Taliban
00:30:10.520
But we actually don't know how much they've got.
00:30:14.160
We don't know the stuff that the Afghan army had that the Taliban now took.
00:30:21.000
And in case you were wondering, no, we have no policy solution to fix it.
00:30:26.240
Is there any effort to tally up the number of U.S. weapons and equipment that are now
00:30:33.760
And is there any program to mitigate this problem through destruction or confiscating
00:30:41.220
Yeah, Mike, I mean, we talked about this before.
00:30:43.900
I don't have an exact inventory of what equipment that the Afghans had at their disposal that
00:30:54.920
Obviously, we don't want to see any weapons or systems to fall into hands of people that
00:31:07.780
would use them in such a way to harm our interests or those of our partners and allies.
00:31:15.540
I mean, we have a vested interest, obviously, in not wanting that to happen.
00:31:20.720
But I don't have any policy solutions for you today about how we would or could address
00:31:31.400
This is like when you're in a meeting at your office and there's the flunky guy.
00:31:35.880
There's the flunky guy who, you know, maybe he's a good talker or something, but he gets
00:31:46.180
What have you what have you brought to the company here?
00:31:48.140
And he says, well, yeah, no, I mean, look, obviously, yeah, look, we want to do stuff
00:31:52.880
for our yeah, for our partners and we want and synergy, you know, and but no, we don't.
00:32:01.360
Well, no, I don't have so I'm not going to we don't exactly have solutions, but I think
00:32:10.500
I don't have like numbers, OK, or facts or data or any.
00:32:15.480
But yeah, I just think what's important we want to have.
00:32:19.420
We want to do better and we're going to do better.
00:32:32.500
We need and we're not getting results from our national leaders.
00:32:36.980
We're not getting results on the covid lockdowns.
00:32:49.340
Anywhere, nowhere, none of the we're not getting results on immigration.
00:33:01.980
So President Trump is deciding to go on the attack.
00:33:05.820
This is probably the strongest evidence yet that Donald Trump plans to run for president
00:33:10.980
again against Joe Biden, if he's even still in office.
00:33:16.780
But Trump just released this early on, 2021, a campaign ad just summing up everything that
00:33:43.940
Kabul is not in an imminent threat environment.
00:33:47.540
The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole
00:33:56.120
The Taliban are now in complete control of Afghanistan.
00:34:06.060
If this isn't failure, what does failure look like exactly?
00:34:10.200
Violin, you destroyed not Afghanistan, but the world.
00:34:14.820
I don't care if you think I'm Satan reincarnated.
00:34:22.960
China is ready for friendly relations with the Taliban.
00:34:37.680
And, you know, I do love that voiceover that you hear there from some protesters saying,
00:34:45.040
But other than that, everything else was just news reports.
00:34:51.220
Everything else was just Joe Biden's own words or those of his spokesmen.
00:34:54.320
The only editorial part were one or two lines there from, you know, you're a bad president
00:35:08.500
It's the whole liberal establishment indicting itself.
00:35:13.500
That ad is more powerful than just about any ad I've ever seen in politics.
00:35:19.980
Morning in America, you know, it's sort of Ronald Reagan touting all of his accomplishments.
00:35:25.940
This is what happens when everything goes wrong.
00:35:31.200
Now, you're not allowed to say make America great again.
00:35:35.180
I mean, I guess this gets to the heart of our problem.
00:35:40.560
If you, if you say you want to make America great again, if you salute the flag, if you put
00:35:45.580
your hand over your heart when you say the pledge, you are, according to the left, engaging
00:35:52.680
Because America is an evil, rotten, racist, bigoted, terrible, white supremacist place.
00:36:00.500
This voicemail was left on the phone of Carter Nordman.
00:36:08.080
This was a woman who called him because he supported a bill that would have schools say
00:36:13.280
the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning, just like we all did when we were kids, just like
00:36:25.660
My understanding that you are the Iowa state representative who included language that requires
00:36:33.360
all Iowa schools to lead the Pledge of Allegiance once a day in grades one through 12.
00:36:38.840
So, I'm curious, Carter, when did we start teaching white nationalism in schools?
00:36:44.820
Because that's exactly what the f*** you're doing, sir, and you have absolutely no right
00:36:53.680
Maybe the white suburban kids out in Adel are proud to be American because their rights are
00:37:00.540
afforded to them every day and they don't have to fight for them.
00:37:03.600
But for the rest of us who are women, the poor, the elderly, the minorities, we're not so
00:37:21.180
We're proud of the fact that not all citizens in the United States are afforded the same rights
00:37:27.680
and the same privileges as the blonde-haired, blue-eyed ones.
00:37:32.760
So, first of all, that woman is the voice of a generation.
00:37:36.500
Before we make fun of her, before we talk about how kooky and crazy she is, she is espousing
00:37:42.920
That if you say anything nice about America or its founding, you are a white supremacist.
00:37:47.640
America is an evil place and we need to undo the founding of the country and re-found the
00:37:51.740
country to take away that racist, evil, terrible root that's rotten to the core.
00:37:56.480
However, the second part that's funny about this is that this woman is almost certainly
00:38:02.540
Because you hear her say, she goes, maybe it's fine to salute the flag if you're one of those
00:38:07.160
white women in the suburbs, but for the rest of us who are, and then you hear there's a
00:38:13.780
And so, if she's contrasting the white people with someone else, with herself, if she weren't
00:38:18.800
white, she would probably say, who are Hispanic and blah, blah, or who are black and who are,
00:38:24.920
She'd pause, she goes, yeah, maybe the white people in the suburbs will do that, but not
00:38:44.240
I don't, I'm just, I don't want to rush to conclusions, but you can hear these things.
00:38:52.020
What would we, what would we be proud of in our country?
00:38:54.120
And that's the question, because after decades now of teaching people that there's nothing
00:38:57.200
to enjoy about the country, nothing to be grateful for, nothing of value here, that, that's what
00:39:02.600
people believe, that, that we, we have nothing to share to people abroad, which is why now
00:39:09.580
But, uh, the country itself is rotten, so we need to bring in as many other people who
00:39:14.440
are not Western, who are not American, uh, to help improve the country.
00:39:19.180
And we need to disrespect our laws as, as best we can, because our laws were founded by evil,
00:39:29.220
I mean, it's a, it's a perverse logic, but there is a kind of coherence in its perversity.
00:39:34.860
There is some good news for the American nation.
00:39:36.800
So, rare good news that we get these days, especially rare good news from the court.
00:39:41.860
The Supreme Court has, you're probably not hearing about this story, by the way, it's
00:39:45.480
The Supreme Court has just ruled that the Biden administration's attempt to end the remain
00:39:51.700
in Mexico immigration policy, uh, is, is not permitted under the law of the land.
00:39:59.380
And so the Supreme Court has refused to block a lower court ruling that will require the
00:40:05.000
government to reinstate the Trump arrow policy.
00:40:06.580
The remain in Mexico policy was a brilliant policy and it's obviously right and just.
00:40:12.380
We're told that we've got a zillion asylum seekers coming into America.
00:40:17.660
They're not people who just want to flat our laws and come in and make a buck.
00:40:24.180
They'll be killed if they remain in Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador.
00:40:28.620
And so that's why we've got to let them into America.
00:40:30.580
It's a matter of life or death if they don't get out of their nation of origin.
00:40:34.140
And so the Trump administration said, okay, fine.
00:40:38.180
Uh, if, if people need to come into America to flee death, the political persecution, then,
00:40:44.680
But if those people make it to another country first, where they'll be perfectly safe, then
00:40:57.340
And the reason for this policy is that, of course, these guys who are coming from El Salvador,
00:41:01.200
Guatemala, Nicaragua, wherever, have to go through Mexico.
00:41:04.620
So if they were really just fleeing political persecution, they would just stay in Mexico.
00:41:09.560
They'd stay in the first place they could outside of their own country, but they're not.
00:41:13.060
They're economic migrants who want to come here because our economy is better for how long,
00:41:16.900
I don't know, but our economy is theoretically better.
00:41:19.800
And they, they think they're gonna have a better life here and they, they probably would.
00:41:22.500
So Joe Biden comes in and he says, no, forget about that.
00:41:25.880
We can't, we can't have that policy because that's going to discourage people from illegally
00:41:29.600
And that's going to hurt us down the road because we're not going to be able to just
00:41:35.620
So what the Supreme Court did is they actually, uh, watched the left get hoisted on its own
00:41:42.220
The, the Supreme Court, when Trump tried to overturn Barack Obama's unconstitutional DACA
00:41:47.320
program, the program that gave executive amnesty to illegal aliens under roughly the age of 40,
00:41:55.220
even though that we, we pretend that they're dreamers who are like six years old, but they're
00:42:02.660
You can't, you're actually not permitted to do that.
00:42:04.960
You can't have that kind of capricious policy change left and right because then you won't,
00:42:11.760
Well, they use that same logic here to stop the Biden administration from reversing the
00:42:18.820
Speaking of banning stuff, the founder of OnlyFans, OnlyFans is the, it's like a social
00:42:26.820
You, you can go on to OnlyFans and produce your own pornography, you know, pictures of
00:42:33.540
I was considering starting my own, you know, just to make a little extra buck.
00:42:38.220
And so you can do that if you're a content creator and then people can subscribe to your
00:42:45.340
You know, even though I know it's not exactly difficult to find naked ladies on the internet
00:42:49.080
and you don't have to spend a lot of money to do it, but there is a service now where
00:42:52.440
you can spend money and feel like you've got a special relationship with a pornographer.
00:42:57.660
So OnlyFans announced a week or two ago that they're going to ban porn from their website,
00:43:05.680
which means their website is basically going to have to shut down.
00:43:08.260
There's not, they, they are a pornography website.
00:43:10.380
So if they ban porn, I'm not sure exactly who's going to be using their website.
00:43:13.740
But they did it and they, the founder has just explained why.
00:43:19.600
It's because the banks, the big banks were pressuring them to because the banks don't
00:43:26.280
They don't want to be funding some pimp whose name is Tim Stokely.
00:43:30.640
They don't want to be seen as encouraging 18 year old girls who want to make a quick buck,
00:43:36.620
who aren't thinking clearly to go turn themselves into porn stars.
00:43:39.720
And they don't want to encourage this sick addiction among young men.
00:43:44.660
So they say, look, you guys, if you, if you want to keep doing business with us,
00:43:47.680
then you, you got to get all the porn out of there.
00:43:52.640
There's an, unfortunately there's a coda to this story, which we'll get to in a second,
00:43:55.460
but at least the first announcement, I think this is great.
00:43:57.720
I know that there are a lot of conservatives out there who are going to say, hold on, Michael,
00:44:00.960
what you think the banks should be able to exert influence.
00:44:03.620
These are the same banks that are, that are sometimes going after conservatives.
00:44:07.920
These are the same banks who are sometimes wielding power to ostracize conservatives from society.
00:44:14.000
So you can't celebrate when they're wielding power to ostracize pornographers.
00:44:22.140
And it's this kind of illogic that has really put the right in a bad position over the past couple of decades.
00:44:34.960
The fact that banks are doing anything is one aspect of the, of the political question,
00:44:41.360
but what the banks are doing is the other aspect.
00:44:45.940
Like for instance, when, when leftists say, you know, Michael, if, if we tell communists that they
00:44:56.260
can't indoctrinate our third graders in the classroom, if we conservatives were to do that
00:45:00.840
and kick communism out of the classroom, why that would make us no better than the left,
00:45:05.300
which is trying to kick American patriotism out of the classroom.
00:45:10.580
It would make us very different from the left because communism and patriotism are not the same thing.
00:45:16.120
Our first amendment rights and pornography are not the same thing.
00:45:19.200
I know that people are confused about this today, but for the vast majority of American history,
00:45:23.420
it was never understood that pornography is protected by the, or obscenity is protected by the first amendment.
00:45:32.240
So now you're fine with them going after pornographers?
00:45:34.640
Yes, because guns and pornography are different.
00:45:41.120
And even though now we don't quite understand that, but yes, those, those are different things.
00:45:51.380
Now, unfortunately, the bad news we just got an hour ago is that the, the OnlyFans has reversed course.
00:46:03.700
So now they're, they're going to keep pouring out there.
00:46:07.380
But conservatives used to be able to recognize that there's a difference between good and bad
00:46:16.680
I mean, basically the people making the argument that we need to be really worried that a bank
00:46:21.500
pressured OnlyFans to get rid of its porn, even though it didn't really work.
00:46:25.980
They're the ones who are making the same argument that drag queen story hour is a blessing of liberty,
00:46:30.140
like David French made, because they say, well, who's to, who's to say what's good and bad?
00:46:35.260
If, if we get rid of drag queen story hour, why the left might get rid of church on Sunday,
00:46:39.820
which they're already trying to do, by the way.
00:46:43.300
We can know the difference between these things.
00:46:47.280
Unfortunately, a lot of work to do to re, to rebuild our society.
00:46:52.280
A lot of work to, forget rebuilding Afghanistan.
00:46:54.160
A lot of work to do to rebuild our society, even on the right for us to make sense of these things.
00:47:35.260
The Michael Noles Show is a Daily Wire production.
00:47:55.760
OnlyFans announced that it was getting rid of pornographic content, but after a huge backlash from the public, the company has backtracked.
00:48:00.940
What does this whole drama tell us about our culture?
00:48:03.400
Also, the rapper Busta Rhymes delivers one of the best anti-mask speeches we've yet seen.
00:48:08.060
And the Republican governor of South Dakota says that she will not prevent employers from imposing vaccine mandates.
00:48:12.700
Plus, Planned Parenthood gets into the trans-hormone therapy game.
00:48:15.960
And finally, we'll ask the important question, is air conditioning racist?
00:48:21.620
All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
