Summary
Despite Joe Biden s repeated insistence that Americans who have already taken the COVID vaccine get a booster shot, the FDA just voted 16-3 to reject booster shots for the general public. Meanwhile, a fake January 6th reunion and a censored flood of foreigners across our southern border reminds American patriots that things are not always as they appear.

Despite Joe Biden's repeated insistence that Americans who have already taken the COVID vaccine
00:00:35.920
get a booster shot, the FDA just voted 16 to 3 to reject booster shots for the general public.
00:00:44.400
Here it is. I've got it. Here is the news report of the vote. This is from Yahoo.
00:00:51.120
It's from the Independent through Yahoo. It's all, I don't want to be accused of spreading
00:00:57.440
Now, even if the vaccine peddlers convince the FDA to reverse its decision,
00:01:03.140
the vote has seriously undermined the prevailing public health narrative.
00:01:09.600
The vaccines are so effective that they require a booster shot,
00:01:12.840
and so safe that the FDA won't approve the booster shot for most people.
00:01:16.720
Meanwhile, a fake January 6th reunion and a censored flood of foreigners across our southern border

I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:36.160
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Charles Troopy,
00:01:39.040
who says, when Nicki Minaj becomes the modern day John Locke, it's official.
00:01:44.240
Time to get the earth, time to stop the earth. I need to get off. That is not fair. I actually
00:01:50.180
don't think that's fair at all. Nicki Minaj makes much, much more sense than John Locke. Stop
00:01:54.960
thinking like a liberal. Nicki Minaj makes a whole lot more sense than the vaunted Mr. Locke.

you know, and you type in those websites you don't want anyone to see. You know, I'm talking about

I love this vote from the FDA. I absolutely love it. It is my favorite news story in a very long time
00:03:28.840
because it is one aspect of the liberal establishment slightly breaking in any way
00:03:37.240
from the rest of the liberal establishment, right? The FDA, the agency breaking from the dominant
00:03:41.600
narrative that the vaccines are totally 100,000% safe and there's no question whatsoever about any
00:03:46.980
safety and they're super duper effective and they're so great that you need multiple booster
00:03:52.620
shots. The establishment, I mean, I don't know what term to use, the blob, the ruling class,
00:04:00.120
the regime, they have done everything they can to prevent anyone from questioning the narrative
00:04:06.740
whatsoever. I'll give you an example of this. I got a notification on my Instagram over the weekend
00:04:11.140
that Gina Carano had tagged me in an Instagram story. I said, oh, that's great. You know,
00:04:16.900
Gina Carano, this terrific movie TV star now is doing a movie with the Daily Wire. So I look and
00:04:23.180
it was just a little video of me making fun of Dr. Fauci. I wasn't really making any claims and no
00:04:28.480
scientific or political claims in there. I was just kind of doing my Dr. Fauci voice and making
00:04:32.580
fun of what a jerk he is, right? So that's all that it was. And it was her posting and saying like,
1.00
00:04:36.960
haha, this is funny. So I tried to repost it, but I couldn't because there was a big warning label
00:04:43.600
on this video of me making fun of Fauci's voice. And it said, for COVID information, you've got to
00:04:48.500
go to the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I said, well, I'm not expressing any COVID
00:04:52.520
information here. I'm just making fun of this jerk in the public health establishment.
0.99
00:04:57.320
So, okay, I go, I kind of do a workaround. I go into my inbox, I find the story, I share it to my
0.97
00:05:02.740
my own page. And then a few hours later, I went back to look at it. I wanted to see how many people
00:05:09.720
had seen it. You know, you get these, you get these analytics from Instagram. So I looked
00:05:13.900
and I had shared two things to Instagram at the very same time. The first thing I shared had been
00:05:19.500
seen by a little over 8,000 people. That, that had come from a very small account. Then I shared Gina's
00:05:27.180
story. That had been seen by 58 people. That is an impossibly small number. What it says to me is
00:05:34.540
something we probably all inferred for a long time, which is that if you, you see something on
00:05:39.480
Instagram with that warning label COVID misinformation, it's just not being shared.
00:05:44.520
It's being shared to so very few people that for all intents and purposes, it's not going up.
00:05:48.620
And the oligarchy, the, in this case, using big tech as a proxy is going, is willing to do that
00:05:56.780
even on jokes, even on jokes about the high priests of the regime. Then also on Instagram,
00:06:04.620
try searching for natural immunity as a hashtag. So we all know natural immunity is a thing. By the
00:06:11.320
way, I don't want to be accused of spreading misinformation. Even the public health establishment,
00:06:14.680
even Dr. Fauci is acknowledging there is such a thing as natural immunity, but it's taken
00:06:18.600
a very long time for them to do that. And they're really trying to downplay it. If you search
00:06:21.820
hashtag natural immunity on Instagram, it won't come up. The nearest thing is someone who wrote
00:06:25.640
hashtag natural immunity with a middle finger emoji because big tech is censoring this stuff.
00:06:32.120
They don't want any of this information getting out. Okay. Well, explain to me then why it is
00:06:40.280
that the FDA is holding off on booster shots for Americans. Before you say it, let me, I want to cut
00:06:46.880
off the liberal critics at their knees. They'll probably say, well, no, Michael, it's just a
00:06:51.680
technical issue. You see, because they didn't have enough data and what, don't worry. The next time
00:06:56.180
it goes up for a vote, it's going to pass and this, okay, I'm not asking about any of that. I'm not
00:07:00.380
asking about any of the scientific data here. I'm asking why, if it is so obviously common sense that
00:07:07.800
the vaccine is a hundred percent safe and a hundred percent effective, why the FDA wouldn't approve it
00:07:14.060
for everybody? Obviously because they had questions about the safety of the vaccine for people under
00:07:21.260
65, for the vast majority of Americans. And as for the effectiveness, the very fact that you need the
00:07:27.040
booster shot shows you that the vaccine is much less effective than we were told that it is. Some of
00:07:32.980
us knew this from the beginning and we just continued to live our lives despite the Wu flu in spite of the
00:07:39.840
Chinese cough. There's a new study out about this, not about the effectiveness of vaccines or the
00:07:44.760
virulence of the virus, but about how people reacted to it. And this is going to be a really shocking
00:07:50.660
study, a study that shows that conservatives, Republicans, and Christians fared much better in
00:07:57.680
terms of their mental health, in terms of their stress and anxiety during the COVID epidemic,
00:08:03.340
especially the early days, than did the Democrats and the liberals and the atheists. Now these are
0.94
00:08:08.800
distinct categories, but there's obviously a lot of overlap. If you're conservative, you're also
00:08:14.240
likely to be Republican. You're also likely to be Christian. If you're a lib, you're also likely to be
0.89
00:08:18.860
a Democrat. You're also likely to be an atheist. I mean, it's a lot of, a lot of overlap here. And here's
00:08:24.460
what the study showed, quote, this study demonstrates that religion protected mental
00:08:28.940
health, but constrained support for crisis response during the crucial early days of the COVID-19
00:08:33.520
pandemic. Data from a national probability-based sample of the U.S. population show that highly
00:08:38.700
religious individuals and evangelicals suffered less distress in March, 2020. They were also less
00:08:44.460
likely to see the coronavirus outbreak as a crisis and less likely to support public health restrictions
00:08:48.240
to limit the spread of the virus. The conservative politicization of religion in the United States,
00:08:53.920
whatever that means, can help explain why religious Americans and evangelicals in particular
00:08:57.740
experienced less distress and were less likely to back public health efforts to contain the virus.
00:09:02.120
We conclude that religion can be a source of comfort and strength in times of crisis, but
00:09:05.400
at least in the case of this pandemic, it can also undercut efforts to end the root causes of
00:09:10.060
suffering. So I'm going to pause it right there because I totally agree with half of this survey.
00:09:13.900
I agree with the thing that the survey observed, namely that stress levels were lower in people who
00:09:19.380
aren't atheist libs. The stress levels were lower in people who are conservative Christians.
00:09:25.940
The part I'm going to disagree with is that this undercuts the way to solve the pandemic. It didn't
00:09:32.640
undercut anything. I know that people are trying to make us forget this now and they're trying to
00:09:38.200
pretend that America never locked down and we never wore masks and we never did any of this, but we did.
1.00
00:09:42.800
We did everything that these idiots told us to do. We slowed the spread for 15 days. We all wore the
0.99
00:09:48.580
stupid masks when we had to. We all locked down. We all shut down our businesses. We all locked
1.00
00:09:52.540
ourselves up in our homes, at least to some degree for now going on a year and a half, more than a
00:09:58.740
year and a half for no reason because it didn't work. It didn't work at all. Now the revisionist
00:10:07.240
history of this is it all, we just couldn't get people to wear the masks. We did. People did wear
00:10:11.500
the mask. Even I hated the stupid mask, but I would wear it in certain circumstances on airplanes or
1.00
00:10:16.600
whenever they forced me to. Okay. We did it and it didn't work that well. And by the way,
1.00
00:10:21.380
everyone was living their life as though this had a 50% mortality rate and it didn't. The vast,
00:10:26.140
vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people were perfectly fine with coronavirus. So rather than
00:10:32.180
say, look, religion's a good source of comfort and it keeps down your stress levels, but it also can,
00:10:36.300
can undermine the, the efforts that we need to stop the pandemic. It also makes people too
00:10:40.560
complacent. No, it doesn't. We were right. We were right. Coronavirus for the vast majority of
00:10:45.120
people is just not a big deal. We were right. We should just live our lives despite the very
00:10:50.420
real possibility of death. And in the case of coronavirus, the very, very low possibility of
00:10:54.420
death. This drives me nuts. Jonathan Haidt did this a few years ago when he, he came out and gave a big
00:11:01.260
Ted talk about how the left doesn't understand the right, but the right understands the left.
00:11:06.720
And he, he described all of these various metrics by which the various political groups can try to make
00:11:11.600
sense of one another. And the conclusion that he drew was, or rather the conclusion
00:11:15.520
from the data was that the conservatives understand the liberals, but the liberals don't
00:11:20.780
understand the conservatives. And then the political conclusion he drew was, and that's why we just need
00:11:25.760
both sides, man. It's like, no, that's not why we don't just need both sides. The conservatives
00:11:29.880
understand everything and the libs only understand about half of everything. And so actually maybe you
00:11:34.760
should defer to the conservatives because they're more correct, but we're not allowed to say that
00:11:38.620
because we have to say that both sides are exactly the same or something. It's not true. We were
00:11:45.560
right. The libs were wrong, period. Okay. They make us out to be the crazies. The, the ruling class
00:11:53.760
of this country makes the right wing out to be the crazies. In fact, as this survey, as this study on
00:12:00.980
stretch shows, the libs are much likely, much more likely to be the crazies. And the libs are now so
00:12:07.460
crazy. They're so, uh, tilting at windmills. They're so hunting for phantoms and ghosts that
00:12:12.840
they're now holding their own insurrection parties to try to bait and catch people to which nobody
00:12:19.580
shows up. You know, in this wild, crazy world with a wild, crazy economy, you really ought to
00:12:25.640
check out acre gold. When things are going crazy in the economy, it's very important that you can hedge
00:12:31.600

00:13:25.520
Now, there was a justice for January 6th rally this weekend. This was a rally in Washington,
00:13:34.300
DC, and it was to avenge the terrible injustices done at January 6th, you know, and it was supposed
00:13:41.400
to be for all the right wingers to show up and demand that Trump be reinstated or something like
00:13:47.620
that. Except no conservatives, very, very few, if any conservatives showed up. Do you know who showed
00:13:57.060
up? The press, the media showed up and feds, law enforcement officials, some of whom were dressed
00:14:07.540
up like they were in really military gear, could have used them in Kandahar, could have used them in
00:14:13.080
Kabul. And then the other ones were, were undercover. The whole thing was a, was an op. The whole thing
00:14:20.920
was fake. I don't know that there were any actual pro-Trump, right wing, conservative, whatever you
00:14:28.320
call them. I don't know that any of those people were actually there. There was a photo that went
00:14:32.140
viral. It's so funny. Someone just posted this with the caption, you know, look at these fed boys,
00:14:38.800
basically. So it's a group of, of men standing next to a Gadsden flag. Don't tread on me.
00:14:44.520
And they stick out like a sore thumb. Okay. The term for, for people like this is glowies. This is the
00:14:52.000
online slang. Glowies meaning federal agents who are trying to pose as whatever, insurrectionists,
00:15:00.440
terrorists, criminals, but they stick out like a sore thumb. They glow in the dark. Okay. So these guys
00:15:05.360
are all wearing, not quite matching, but almost matching clothing. Tight jean shorts, all of which
00:15:16.200
have the, almost all of which have the cuff rolled up at the bottom. All similar style shirts without
00:15:23.700
any labels on them, all wearing the same watch, a non-Apple smartwatch, looks like a garment, all wearing
00:15:31.280
basically the same sunglasses, if not exactly the same sunglasses. One of them went to the trouble
00:15:37.600
of getting a fascist haircut. You know, it was really thin on the side and then a little longer
00:15:41.480
on top, but he didn't get it early enough. Like clearly he went down to the Pentagon barber that
00:15:46.400
afternoon because the, because that part of his hair that had been shaved off is, is extremely white
00:15:52.240
compared to the rest of his skin. So it was a very recent haircut. And they're all kind of checking
00:15:56.440
around, checking their six, a lot of situational awareness. Not one of them has any tattoos.
00:16:00.940
Not one of them is wearing a Trump shirt or anything like that. It's pathetic. Now I guess
0.99
00:16:05.800
there, look, there's a chance that these are legitimate protesters. Oh, they're, they're wearing
00:16:10.940
black dress socks. Some of which are a little bit short, but the one guy like forgot to change over
00:16:17.540
at Langley. So it's a little bit longer and they've all got something sticking out of their pocket,
00:16:22.520
presumably some kind of firearm. If it's not a fire, and by the way, it's illegal to have,
00:16:27.400
have that firearm there. If it's not, I believe it's illegal. I think they're on,
00:16:32.820
on grounds where that would be illegal. If it, if they're not carrying that, or so presumably
00:16:38.120
they're law enforcement. If not, it sure looks like one all matching. It's just so, so fake.
00:16:46.300
It gives me, the only thing that really gives me hope here in this picture is what, how incompetent
0.68
00:16:50.760
they are. By the way, here's my further evidence. Cause I don't want to seem like I'm a conspiracy
00:16:54.300
theorist. So there were, we're getting, uh, conflicting reports, but there were as many as
00:16:59.400
four arrests made during the rally. So just four arrests made during the rally. And they may very
00:17:05.940
well all have been arrests of law enforcement people because we have video of one of the arrests
00:17:11.440
and you can actually see in the video of the arrest, the guy who's being arrested pulls out his badge.
00:17:18.680
So he's pulling out a badge and the rest, the rest of law enforcement is there and they're,
00:17:23.640
you know, kind of dragging him and then they, they drag him off. And it's, uh, very, very silly and
0.97
00:17:29.500
very, very fake. Authenticity is a very difficult thing to fake. Okay. So this is showing as I think
0.92
00:17:41.160
many of us would have inferred from some of the January 6th stuff that the federal government
00:17:47.820
has an interest in trying to provoke these sorts of incidents. I mean, this is why at this,
00:17:54.900
I'm not saying the Ku Klux Klan doesn't exist. I'm just saying it's about 97% FBI agents or 99%
00:18:02.300
FBI agents. I mean, these, it's, it's all, it would seem to me just a kind of farce. It's all play
00:18:10.080
acting. Okay. Authenticity is very hard to fake though. Even beyond the silly, you know,
00:18:17.160
rally, rally for January 6th. Hey, do any of you fellow dissidents want to commit acts of domestic
00:18:23.260
terrorism? Hey, hey, come on, do it, do it. It's like poking the guy with a stick, but you'll see
00:18:28.780
this in, in regular politics too. I saw two campaign ads over the weekend that I think will show you
00:18:33.740
the distinction we're talking about here. The first one was from the much maligned Congresswoman,
1.00
00:18:38.860
Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie Taylor Greene airs this ad to convince people of her toughness on
1.00
00:18:46.460
socialism. Nancy Pelosi is sneaking the Green New Deal into the $3.5 trillion budget. And in 2022,
00:18:55.100
I'm going to blow away the Democrat socialist agenda.

Okay. I love this commercial. Okay. And the whole knock on Marjorie Taylor Greene ride, she's kooky.
1.00
00:19:31.200
She's crazy. She's extreme. And then she does this, this commercial where she's there with a
1.00
00:19:35.780
Barrett 50 cal and she blows up a Toyota Prius that says socialism on it. And I think she really
0.98
00:19:41.520
blew it up. I mean, I think all those various angles were of the car actually exploding in the
00:19:45.340
middle of a field. And she says, go to this website and you can win my gun. Okay. Now I think that's a
00:19:51.920
pretty effective ad. And I think she's pretty popular in her district. So I think it's, it's
0.79
00:19:56.440
obviously working. Compare that to Georgia governor, Brian Kemp, who has had some problems with the
00:20:03.820
conservative base specifically with how he handled the various shenanigans around the 2020 presidential
00:20:09.400
election. Kemp tries to make almost the exact same ad, but take a listen. Let me know if you think
00:20:18.000
it's as persuasive. I'm Brian Kemp. I'm so conservative. I blow up government spending.
00:20:26.060
I own guns that no one's taking away. My chainsaw's ready to rip up some regulations.
00:20:35.740
I got a big truck just in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take them home myself.
1.00
00:20:42.960
Yep. I just said that. I'm Brian Kemp. If you want a politically incorrect conservative, that's me.
00:20:50.160
I don't think the cringe is ever going to leave my face. You know how when you were a kid and your
00:20:55.040
mother said, don't cross your eyes, they'll get stuck that way. That's what's going to happen to
00:20:58.520
the cringing that's happening on my face right now from, from watching that commercial. Brian Kemp
00:21:03.860
has to open up with this, with this phrase, three words. I'm so conservative, right? You'll notice
00:21:10.980
Marjorie Greene doesn't open up with I'm so conservative because people know, okay, that lady,
1.00
00:21:15.960
she had a big sign that said transgenderism is fake or some version of that outside of her
00:21:21.720
congressional office, which is right across the street from some huge pro-trans activist, okay?
00:21:25.800
Right across the hallway. So she lays it all on the table, okay? She doesn't need to say,
00:21:31.480
I'm Marjorie Greene and I'm so conservative. So Brian Kemp does and says, I blow up government
00:21:35.760
spending, but he didn't blow up government spending. Something exploded behind him, but notice
00:21:40.700
he didn't shoot it. He wouldn't, oh gosh, he wouldn't want to be caught firing a gun. That could
00:21:44.880
be misinterpreted by people, right? So they both blow something up, but with Brian Kemp, it just happens
00:21:49.080
behind him with Marjorie Greene. She pulls the bear at 50 cal. Then he says, I've got my guns
00:21:53.380
that nobody's taken away. Again, but you see that he'll hold the gun then. He'll blow something up,
00:21:57.740
then he'll hold the gun, but he certainly won't shoot the gun. Then he moves on. He says, and I've
00:22:02.020
got this big truck. You know, it's like a Saturday Night Live parody of a conservative commercial.
00:22:06.820
He goes, I've got this big truck in case I need to round up any criminal illegals. Listen to that
1.00
00:22:12.820
phrase. Let that sink in. Criminal illegal. A little redundant, wouldn't you say? Those words
00:22:19.460
mean the same. It's like, yeah, in case I need to round up any illegal illegals. But what he's doing
00:22:24.440
here, it's a very specific wording. He's not saying he's going to round up all the illegals.
00:22:29.600
He's going to round up only the illegals who are committing additional crimes who are here in the
1.00
00:22:34.060
United States, which of course he's not going to do. Then he says, I've got this chainsaw
00:22:37.560
to rip up regulation. You know, this kind of nineties and two thousands, just like we need
00:22:43.680
to privatize everything. And that's going to lead to a conservative country. I'm sorry. And then after
00:22:48.520
he said the illegal line, what did he say? He said, yeah, I really said that. Yeah. I'm really
00:22:52.460
impressed with myself because, Hey, I know how out there that was. Yeah. If you want a politically
00:22:57.120
incorrect governor vote for me now, look, I'm not making any comment about the efficacy of Marjorie
00:23:03.440
Green or Brian Kemp in office. I'm not making any point on their record. I'm making a point on
00:23:08.120
authenticity. Marjorie Green really is who she says she is. Brian Kemp is not. He is playing a role.
00:23:19.320
He's playing this rowdy, rough, tough conservative, but it's not, it's not real. Some, some operative in
00:23:26.680
Washington DC wrote that commercial and didn't do a very good job about it. And I think what we're
00:23:30.860
seeing right now with what happened at the fake January 6th rally and what's going on right now
00:23:35.820
with the public health narrative collapsing, we are now seeing more clearly than perhaps ever before
00:23:40.240
the stark difference between the appearances and the realities of our political situation.
00:23:48.040
Now, when you really want to protect your guns, I would strongly recommend that you check out gun
00:23:53.700
owners of America. The government is coming for your rights. This is not a hypothetical. It's happening
00:23:57.740
right now. Gun owners of America believes that the second amendment, your God given right to defend
00:24:01.840
yourself and your loved ones is under attack like never before. Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, they all want
00:24:07.260
to ban guns and register gun owners with the government. We cannot let this happen. Do not let,
00:24:12.860
if the last year and a half hasn't shown you what happens when you give the ruling class just a little
00:24:17.860
bit, then I don't know what will. It's up to all of us to protect our gun rights. That is why I'm
00:24:22.060
asking you to visit gun owners of America today. GOA is the only no compromise gun lobby in Washington.
00:24:28.040
Along with their grassroots army, they are taking the fight to the Congress, the White House, and state
00:24:32.480
legislatures from coast to coast. GOA has a special message and a free gift just for listeners to this
00:24:37.960
program. So head on over to gunowners.org slash Knowles to learn more. That is gunowners.org slash Knowles,
00:24:46.040
K-N-W-L-E-S, to learn more about how we can take the fight to the left and stop the left from taking
00:24:53.140
away our gun rights. Ben is coming up. He's going to be talking about how the border is wide open.
00:24:58.040
We're going to be talking about that in just a second. So go check out Ben's show for sure.
00:25:02.700
Welcome back to the show. Something I have noticed about the difference between the right
0.97
00:25:21.680
and the left is that the left wants the appearance of the thing without the thing itself. And the right
00:25:32.680
wants the real thing, wants the real reality. And this is something we talked about in the early,
00:25:38.780
early days of this show. And we haven't talked about it a lot recently, but I mean, years ago,
00:25:43.320
this was a point I really like to focus on. The left likes decaf coffee. The left likes
00:25:51.080
impossible burgers, meatless hamburgers. The left likes those things. The left likes to call things
00:25:59.640
marriage that are not really marriage. The left likes to call things nations that are not really
00:26:04.080
nations. The left likes the appearance, like the form of the thing, but they don't want the actual
00:26:09.740
substance of the stuff. And this is why I think this focus on authenticity does to a great degree
00:26:17.940
matter. When we're trying to figure out political candidates or political campaigns or our political
00:26:24.560
system, is it the real thing or is it just the appearance of the thing? When the left talks about
00:26:29.140
our democracy, they don't actually like our democracy. They hate democracy in Texas that
00:26:33.960
passed that pro-life law. They hate democracy that elected Donald Trump, at least in 2016.
00:26:39.120
They hate that aspect of our democracy. What they really like is their liberal rule.
00:26:46.320
They want the appearance of democracy, but they don't actually want democracy. I mean, right now,
00:26:50.960
the amount of focus they have put into locking down Washington DC from patriotic Americans
00:26:58.640
is much more intense than the focus they put on locking down Kabul against terrorists, right?
00:27:05.620
Because they want to protect the semblance of our democracy without permitting real participation in
00:27:11.580
that democracy. For years, they talked about how widespread mail-in voting was a grave threat to
00:27:16.500
election integrity in this country and the right to vote. Now that they're in power and they think
00:27:20.560
they can get a fast one by us, they're pushing that entirely, all in the name of our democracy.
00:27:26.280
And then, probably the most obvious attack they've made on our democracy is that they are flooding
00:27:32.940
the country with foreign nationals whom they are already promising to give amnesty to and put on a
0.63
00:27:39.520
path to citizenship so that they can vote. And we the people have absolutely no say in that.
00:27:43.420
And every single illegal alien who comes into this country and is put on a path to citizenship
0.97
00:27:48.480
takes away one vote from an American. Every single one. Every single, and how many? We have, what,
00:27:57.080
11 million, 20 million? How many illegal aliens are there in this country? Maybe more than that.
00:28:02.140
And it is, it's not just as though this is a persistent problem that keeps on and keeps on and
00:28:06.380
keeps on. Right now, we are seeing a flood of illegal aliens come across the country. Fox News,
00:28:12.840
got to give them credit. They had a drone that was flying over the Rio Grande to show this flood,
00:28:17.480
this unceasing flood of foreign nationals pouring into our country. The FAA grounded the drone. Why?
1.00
00:28:25.200
Because of the fears of the drone, that the drone was going to harm the illegal aliens or something
00:28:31.720
like that? No, it's because they didn't want the press to cover this incident. So then Fox News
00:28:36.600
later went up in a chopper and started covering what went down.
00:28:40.380
This is a wild situation to see from the air. We reported earlier that the FAA grounded our Fox
00:28:45.920
News drones. We cannot fly those well. The troopers with Texas DPS are kind enough to let us go up in
00:28:50.820
their helicopter with them to get a look at the situation at this bridge right now. And they are
00:28:55.160
waiting underneath the international bridge, waiting to be processed by Border Patrol. Look at the mass of
00:29:00.840
people down there. This time, two days ago, there were just over 4,000 people. There are now upwards
00:29:06.840
of 11,000. We are talking nearly a tripling of the numbers in just 48 hours or so. You can get a real
00:29:14.040
good perspective from the air right here of how many people are constantly streaming in.
00:29:18.420
So 11,000 people waiting to be processed. What do we mean by process? Do we mean that
00:29:26.560
the Border Patrol will say, no, I'm sorry, you're not an American citizen. You've got to go home. No,
00:29:31.840
no. What it means is they're going to come in. We're not going to know if they have COVID or not
00:29:37.240
for a lot of these people, okay? They're going to come in. They're going to be given a court date.
00:29:41.980
They're going to be released into the interior of the country. They're not going to show up for their
0.86
00:29:45.200
court date. And then they're going to be put on a path to citizenship the minutes that the Democrats
00:29:49.420
have the political capital to do it. Being processed is putting them on the very first
00:29:55.860
step of their path to citizenship, which is inevitable once the Democrats have enough
00:30:00.300
political power to do it. That's what's going on right now. And we're not allowed to say boo
00:30:06.640
about it. And don't forget, for a very long time, the Republican Party was basically fine with that.
00:30:15.200
The argument was not between more immigration or less immigration, but between more immigration
00:30:22.840
that is mostly illegal or more immigration that is mostly legal. But no one, it's a fake debate.
00:30:32.520
It's what we talk about all the time, the court jester conservatives who pretend to put up some
00:30:38.980
opposition. But in fact, the only purpose they serve is to legitimize the liberal ruling class.
00:30:45.260
They play their little part and they say, yes, we're kind of slightly opposing the liberal agenda,
00:30:50.420
but actually their effect is to support it. That's what we're seeing. But now I think people
00:30:56.600
are finally saying once again, you know, I think we may have too many immigrants coming into this
1.00
00:30:59.880
country. It's not that we hate the immigrants. It's not that we're racist or xenophobic. It's just
00:31:05.880
that, you know, we're taking in millions and millions of foreign nationals a year,
00:31:09.900
so much more than anyone else in the world. And the movement of immigrants into the United States
00:31:16.740
over the last 60 years is the largest movement of human beings in recorded history. And actually,
00:31:22.320
our country is kind of collapsing and our internal cohesion is falling apart. And we're actually
00:31:26.700
discouraging assimilation now. So maybe just, we got to cool it a little bit. I'm not saying no
0.99
00:31:32.100
immigrants ever again, but maybe we got to drastically reduce the number of immigrants coming
1.00
00:31:36.920
into this country. Only now, after years and years of a fake debate, are we seeing some conservatives
00:31:44.180
stand up and say, you know, we've got to really stop this. We've got to slow this down significantly.
00:31:51.000
J.D. Vance made a good point on this. J.D. Vance is the author of Hillbilly Elegy. He is now running
00:31:57.600
for Senate in Ohio. J.D. Vance just posted the picture of this. He said, send in the Marines.
00:32:02.560
Of course we should. Of course we should send in the Marines. If we are not willing to use our
0.98
00:32:10.700
military to stop a flood of foreigners from illegally pouring over our border,
00:32:17.720
there's a word for that, isn't there? If we're not willing to use our military to stop that,
00:32:22.540
to defend the American homeland, what do we have a military for? Oh, we have a military to build
00:32:29.140
schools for girls in Kandahar, right? That's, that's what we've been using the military for.
1.00
00:32:33.880
We have a military to go hoist the pride flag on the, the embassy in Kabul, but we can't use our
00:32:41.380
military to protect the American homeland against millions of foreign nationals who are pouring in
1.00
00:32:47.460
to, to force themselves to become American citizens over time with the help of the liberal
00:32:53.700
ruling class. Send in the Marines, of course, to stop this. But that would undercut what is now the
00:33:02.460
agenda of border, border patrol and the immigration law enforcement authorities, which is not to enforce
00:33:07.820
the law, which is to obliterate the law and release these foreigners into the United States. And the
1.00
00:33:13.700
American people don't get to say boo about it. It's enough to make you wonder how long the country
00:33:19.420
can persist. Some people are looking at this, this collapse of any kind of unity in the country.
00:33:25.320
And they're saying, this is a bad thing. Oh, this, this, this isn't good when the country is being
00:33:29.820
torn apart at the seams. Some people are saying maybe it is a good thing. A comedian, Sarah Silverman
00:33:34.300
came out on her podcast and said, maybe it's time for a national divorce.
1.00
00:33:39.180
I mean, this may be a negative thought, but, or maybe a positive one. I don't know. But if people
00:33:43.820
aren't getting along, like in relationship, they break up, you know, so like, why don't we just
00:33:50.560
finally just realize that this, these states aren't working and like divide up into like two or three
00:33:58.540
countries of like USA one and USA two. And they can be USA one, like the conservatives can be USA one,
00:34:10.280
because they love being number one. And it means something to them. And I'd love to have that be theirs.
00:34:16.640
They can be USA one, we'll be USA two, and we'll be allies. And you'll come over here and we'll go over
00:34:25.560
there. And, you know, when you come to certain many times, when you go to a different country, you have to get a
00:34:37.220
And that's that. That's that. And we'll be allies. You know, just like countries that separate
00:34:42.540
are famously allies, like India and Pakistan. You know, we'll just be allies like India and
0.94
00:34:48.240
Pakistan. That'll work out well, right? What Sarah Silverman is suggesting here is not just being
00:34:55.340
promoted by people on the left. It's being promoted by people on the right too. Time for a national
00:34:59.560
divorce. Time for a split. Balkanize the country. Rip the country apart. That'll solve our problems.
1.00
00:35:05.660
Let's just do it. Who cares? That is the liberal or libertarian answer to our national problems. And
00:35:17.080
as such, it's totally wrong. I think there are three ways of looking at the national problems,
00:35:22.860
the problems of national cohesion right now. There's the left wing way, which is dominate the
00:35:28.200
conservatives, make them go along with our way of thinking and run the country. Then there is the
00:35:34.660
sort of libertarian-ish way, which is, hey, let's just split. Let's just split, guys. Come on. If
00:35:40.060
we're not enjoying it anymore, let's just, it's social contract. Let's just, let's just rip it up
00:35:43.880
and start again. And then there's the actual conservative way, which is, no, how about we rule?
00:35:50.800
How about we rule the country and bring, bring this country back into line? When we ruled the country,
00:35:54.880
things were relatively better. And so let's, let's try to do that again. That's the conservative
00:36:00.960
way. It's not just live and let live, man. It's not just, hey, you don't like us anymore. Let's
00:36:06.540
just split up the country. You can have California. We'll have Texas. It is, no, this is, this is a
00:36:10.940
country. If we start splitting up the country now, it's going to end with 330 million different
0.90
00:36:16.380
countries. Okay. It's going to end, everyone's going to split. Texas is going to split in two.
00:36:20.580
Then it's going to split in four. Then it's going to split in 16. And it's just going to keep
00:36:23.300
going on that way. Anytime anyone has a disagreement, because no one's going to have
00:36:26.900
the guts and the chutzpah and the vision to rule. And so that's it. And then we'll just have a zillion
00:36:31.580
countries and then China will invade and that's it. No, or we're going to rule the country. I love,
00:36:37.560
Sarah Silverman gives a very good analogy here. She says, it's like when people are in a relationship
00:36:41.960
and they don't like each other, they split up. But now a country is not like your middle school
00:36:48.540
girlfriend. Okay. It's not like your middle school relationship. It's not just like, well,
00:36:52.860
one month you're dating this person and the next month you're dating that person.
00:36:56.720
A country is like a marriage. And I know that there are many liberals and libertarians today
00:37:01.880
who believe, look, if you don't like your wife, just leave her. Just split. If you guys aren't having
00:37:06.460
fun, have a no-fault divorce, just split. It's no big deal. All that matters is pursuing your own
00:37:11.520
pleasure. That's not the conservative view of things. If you, if you are having trouble in
00:37:19.000
your marriage, fix your marriage. How about, if you're having trouble with your marriage,
00:37:22.960
how about you lead your household? How about that crazy? I know you're not allowed to suggest that
00:37:27.480
anymore, but I think that would be the right thing to do. A national divorce is not only impossible,
0.95
00:37:35.220
I don't think it generally works, but if, implausible at least, but if it, if there were to be
00:37:41.500
such a thing, people would die and there would be lots of messy, ugly things and we would not be
00:37:46.800
allies. We would almost inevitably go to war. The country did try to split one time, didn't turn
00:37:51.360
out very well. And, and that would be that. So are you really, are you really willing to go out and
00:37:57.680
shoot your neighbor over some, because I'm not, not yet anyway. I don't think we are at the point
00:38:03.720
where we need an actual split, an actual civil war. I don't think we should do that. I think we
00:38:08.860
should just have a nation and insist upon over the protestations of not just libertarians,
00:38:15.900
but the liberal ruling class. We need to insist upon a nation with national unity,
00:38:19.660
with a vision of the good that is not evil and actually just do it and insist upon borders
00:38:24.740
and deport foreigners and have standards and enforce those standards and actually have a good
0.76
00:38:30.200
country. That's what we need to do. I know it's the most radical solution of all is actually have
00:38:35.920
a country. The left, the answer to leftist predations is not to split. It is to beat
00:38:43.680
the left. Think about this. We talk about abortion. They say, okay, so half the country wants to kill
00:38:49.100
babies. Half the country doesn't want to kill babies. So let's just split. So hold on your answer,

your answer to half the countries killing a million babies a year is let them do it. That's not my answer.

00:39:01.180
Even far short of killing babies. Right now, there are videos going around of the left forcing
00:39:07.520
cute little kids to wear masks for absolutely no reason whatsoever, other than their own
00:39:12.580
enforcement of their authority. They're forcing these masks on these little kids. And our answer
00:39:19.720
is what? We're just going to let them do it? I don't think so. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed
00:39:24.700

A video has gone viral of a daycare worker forcing a little kid, I don't know, how old is this kid,
00:40:15.120
There you go. Keep it right there. Yay, Mason! Yay! You feel it, Mason.
00:40:22.360
You feel it, Mason. I can't watch anymore. That woman who is doing this should not only be fired,
1.00
00:40:51.200
she should be in a just society, she would be arrested, tried, and banished to some Pacific
0.82
00:40:58.180
island as far away from civilization as possible. This is insane behavior. One, we know statistically
00:41:06.120
from the data that children are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very unlikely to face any
00:41:13.500
serious consequences of the coronavirus. Now, if you're saying, well, the kid has to wear the mask
00:41:19.420
to protect the adults, we know, we were just told that the vaccines are extremely effective at
00:41:23.760
preventing the people who receive the vaccines from facing serious consequences from coronavirus.
00:41:27.600
Presumably all of those adults have had the vaccine. And if they won't get the vaccine,
00:41:32.860
then surely the answer to protecting themselves is not to muzzle up a little kid who doesn't even
00:41:36.840
know what's going on. That's sick. That is sick behavior. That's sick people in a very sick country
0.95
00:41:43.480
doing very sick things. The answer to that is not, well, let the libs do whatever they want.
1.00
00:41:49.860
Oh, well, live and let live. Gosh, I'm going to avoid New York, huh? Let's just split the country
00:41:54.040
enough. The answer is hold these people to account and pass laws. Not that that's the
00:42:00.060
actual way that we're really governed much anymore by passing laws. It's usually through
00:42:03.840
some random agency. Actually, that's where the vaccine mandate is coming from, some random,
00:42:07.440
unaccountable executive agency. But do what you can, wield political power in such a way
00:42:12.220
that that kind of behavior is illegal and that when people do it, they face consequences for it.
00:42:18.880
Offer a standard, offer a political vision, and then have the guts, have the,
00:42:23.260
have the spine to actually enforce it. This is something, conservatives, you know, even in the
00:42:30.620
sort of freewheeling last few decades where they've lost a lot of their political mind,
00:42:35.680
sometimes they'll still hit on the right policy. The problem is they've been, they've had their
00:42:39.720
brains so turned to soup by, by shallow libertarian slogans or neoconservative slogans that they refuse
00:42:48.100
to actually enforce anything. Well, it would be wrong for us to tell that daycare worker that you can't
00:42:52.340
muzzle the little kid. Why is that wrong? Well, you know, you, you even heard this from some people
00:42:57.180
on the abortion issue. Well, look, I oppose abortion because I don't think it's good to kill
00:43:00.980
babies, but I would never impose my view on others. Well, why not? You, you impose your view on murder
00:43:04.840
laws, on some murder laws at least. You impose your view on traffic laws. You impose your view on
00:43:09.160
rent laws. You impose your view on laws against theft. You, sometimes, I guess, before BLM riots
0.87
00:43:15.620
started up. So why not, what, what, what is the holdup here? What is the holdup here? Doesn't make a lot
00:43:23.640
of sense. Speaking of the American empire and the ways in which we now abuse people, this is a real
00:43:32.340
heightening of this. It's a story, it's not getting a lot of traffic in the establishment media. The, the
00:43:37.780
United States droned what it held to be a terrorist, but then it turned out actually it wasn't a
00:43:45.720
terrorist that we droned. It was a, an aid worker in Afghanistan. Then it turned out it wasn't just
00:43:50.980
an aid worker. It was an aid worker and two other adults in, in the aid worker's family. And then it
00:43:57.400
turned out, oh, it actually wasn't just an aid worker and the two other adults. It was an aid worker
00:44:01.760
and two other adults and seven kids, seven kids. Now, I, I know that in war there is collateral
00:44:11.640
damage. This is one of the arguments for being a little more circumspect when we go to war,
00:44:16.240
a little more reticent to actually go and invade countries and hold them as, as territories.
00:44:21.400
Seven kids. If you have ever had a kid, think about it. The child is conceived. Then you get very
00:44:28.540
excited. You wait nine months, you know, you start getting little baby clothes and things like that.
00:44:33.720
And then the baby is born and then it takes the mother a little while to recover. And then the
00:44:37.520
baby's up all night. Remember the baby's up all night nursing. And then you raise the baby and,
00:44:42.360
you know, he's getting a little older, takes his first little steps and all these big milestones.
00:44:46.380
And then you do that again and again and again and again and again and again.
00:44:54.200
And then some drone blows up your entire family.
00:45:01.880
Puts it a little bit more into perspective. The, the adults are back in charge though.
00:45:11.020
You didn't hear these stories from Donald Trump. I'm not, I'm not going to say it. You know,
00:45:17.540
you know what I'm not going to say, right? You know the thing that every pundit says
00:45:23.280
on the conservative side, when something like that, you know, I'm not, I don't, I will not say
00:45:28.360
if the situation was reversed. Well, if the, you know, if this were, if this were a Donald Trump,
00:45:35.080
who did those? If this, because, because we all know that, because we all know that it doesn't
00:45:40.760
matter. The reality of, of what the Biden administration has done just with this one
00:45:49.660
case, this one family of 10 that the Biden, the Biden administration just blew up.
00:45:58.880
Even more than that, the way the press has handled it shows you something that may be even more
00:46:05.460
chilling than the Biden administration blowing up a family in Afghanistan. Namely, the way our
00:46:11.700
political system really works. Every tiny little story, real or imagined that can in any way be
00:46:19.140
ginned up into a scandal under a Republican will be. And that's especially true if the Republican
00:46:25.100
is actually a threat to the liberal establishment. Then they'll impeach him over a phone call with
00:46:30.000
Ukraine. And the Democrats can just blow up whole families with seven kids and the Democrats can bust
00:46:38.600
open our borders and the Democrats can abuse children and mutilate children and kill children.
1.00
00:46:44.240
And that's just completely fine. That's the reality of the political situation we're in,
0.99
00:46:48.700
which is why we need actual conservatives with actual political vision and as important as anything,
00:46:58.460
courage, spine to actually enforce a political vision to stop it. This
00:47:07.700
political battle that we think is just one side versus the other side, and we win sometimes,
00:47:12.240
that's not even close to what the reality of the political situation is. We are up against
00:47:16.100
Leviathan and we need real tough guys with real vision and real clarity to be able to do it.

The entire corporate media condemned a woman as a bigot and a transphobe when she complained about
0.57
00:48:20.980
a man exposing himself inside the women's locker room at Wee Spa in Los Angeles. But now they're
00:48:25.160
silent after revelations about this man and what he was really doing inside that locker room. We'll
00:48:28.940
talk about that today. Also, the mayor of San Francisco defends herself against charges of
00:48:32.340
hypocrisy after being seen partying maskless at a nightclub. Daycare workers are caught on tape trying
00:48:37.640
to force a mask onto a very young child. The former head of the FDA says that the whole six feet of
00:48:42.400
social distancing rule was arbitrary and nobody knows where it came from. And finally, the Biden
00:48:46.480
administration now wants permanent access to all of your banking information and your transaction
00:48:51.000
history. Who could possibly object to that? We'll talk about that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
