00:00:30.280 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

00:00:55.120 misinformation, okay?

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.

00:01:07.700 Safe and effective.

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 0.64

00:01:23.000 reminds American patriots that things are not always as they appear.

00:01:27.440 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.

00:02:00.860 When you want to protect your data, when you want to protect your identity in this crazy world of ours,

00:02:20.000 you know, and you type in those websites you don't want anyone to see. You know, I'm talking about

00:02:23.900 dailywire.com, okay, you're not, some of those conservative websites, they could get you in trouble,

00:03:22.280 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

00:13:25.520 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.

00:19:08.860 Go to the website below and sign up to win my 50 caliber gun before Joe Biden bans it.

00:19:24.600 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.

00:25:01.260 And we'll be right back with a lot more.

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

00:34:31.560 vaccine.

00:34:32.000 That's that.

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, 0.98

00:38:54.460 your answer to half the countries killing a million babies a year is let them do it. That's not my answer. 0.94

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

00:40:01.440 A video has gone viral of a daycare worker forcing a little kid, I don't know, how old is this kid,

00:40:09.560 two or three years old, to wear a face mask.

00:40:13.260 Put your mask on.

00:40:14.240 Put your mask on.

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.

00:48:16.000 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.
