In Saudi Arabia, grown women can be jailed for doing the kind of things we think of as routine without the permission of a male guardian. China rounds you up if you\u2019re the wrong religion and puts you in camps. More children in Burkina Faso work than are in school. Only 5% of Burundians have electricity. The homicide rate in Honduras is eight times what it is here. The inflation rate in Venezuela is 2,719%. The Philippines in the last five years has put to death 27,000 low-level drug dealers, my old job. In North Korea, people starve to death. The only people who starve here are doing it for a role. And the only people who have no water live in California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think America is irredeemable, turn on the news or get a passport and a ticket on one of those sketchy airlines that puts its web address on the plane,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason Afghan mothers are handing their babies to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not the bad guys,\u201d he said. \u201cOppression is what we were trying to stop in Afghanistan. We failed. But any immigrant will tell you, we\u2019ve largely succeeded here. And yet the overriding thrust of current woke ideology is that America is rotten to the core, irredeemably racist from the moment it was founded, and so oppressive, sexist and homophobic, we can\u2019t find a host for the Oscars or Jeopardy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, yeah.

Watching the s**t go down in Afghanistan, I was reminded lately of every conversation I\u2019ve ever had with an immigrant, almost all of which, if we got to really talking, included the notion, \u2018Oh, you people have no idea. All you do is b***h about and bad mouth, your own country. But if you knew about the country I came from, you\u2019d stop s***ting on your own.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I have never been a rah-rah America type, and in fact, have often made fun of Republicans in the past for being overly sentimental, because they\u2019re the ones who tear up at military flyovers, and get a boner when the governor of South Dakota rides into a biker rally dressed like a painting of Teddy Roosevelt. John Boehner used to cry, cry like f***ing weep at the drop of a hat if anything reminded him of what a star spangled miracle this country is. If there was a little flag in his club sandwich, he\u2019d lose it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s just in the conservative DNA to have this dewy-eyed sloppy drunk love for their country that often renders them incapable of acknowledging its problems. That\u2019s how we got the 2013 Supreme Court ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act. Not because John Roberts is a monster, but because people like him tend to over romanticize America. He thought the South was ready for the honor system. They weren\u2019t.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But liberals as usual in this era, have now gone too far in the other direction. They under romanticize America, they have no perspective. Last week, the Taliban murdered a comedian. His name is Nazar Mohammad, and he made up funny songs on TikTok. They forced him into a car, tortured, and then executed him. A comedian. I thing like that hits a little close to home for me. I\u2019ve had two presidents up my a*s. This one warned me to stop speaking my mind. They need to watch what they say. Watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that. There never is. And this one sued me over a joke. And as President called me every name in the book for the crime of predicting he do exactly what he did. This crazy, Bill Maher, this idiot comedian. These people are sick. He\u2019s a crazy lunatic. He\u2019s a whack job. He is a total nutjob.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Yeah, I mean, neither experience was pleasant, but I didn\u2019t have to worry about being dragged till I\u2019m dead behind a Toyota Tacoma.

And I\u2019m sure everyone who just clapped is thinking the same thing. Yes. Someone who isn\u2019t me should definitely do that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But that doesn\u2019t make us the bad guys.

Ask the Asian woman giving you a massage. She\u2019ll tell you this place is Shangri La and just because she works in a place called Shangri La. America may not be the country of your faculty lounge and Twitter dreams but no one here tries to escape by hanging on to an airplane. No, we wait till we\u2019re inside the plane to fight and then only because they cut off the beverage service.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
