1,315 years after the Battle of Covadonga, when the Muslims invaded Iberia and attempted to conquer all of Europe, we are releasing Run Hide Fight Infidels. This is Friendly Fire.

I was hoping we'd get for the intro for this episode, one of those like calls to prayer from the minarets, and we're like, oh. Anyway, I hope, dear audience, we've roped you in with this riveting, urgent Covadonga discourse, but we're not just talking about ancient history. No, no, we're talking about Daily Wire's new movie. If you have not subscribed, shame on you. Shame on you. What are you thinking? You go to dailywire.com/subscribe so that you can see the movie that Variety is writing about. You can see it. We'll get to the Variety review. You'll see the movie that Slate is calling Deranged, and they don't know the half of it. If you haven't seen the trailer, here it is.

SPEAKER_3 (2:00)

Your country is beneath contempt. We who love and serve Allah fought back against the Americans and the Zionists from the scourge of secularism and the lands of unbelief.

Michael Knowles (2:20)

Anyone going to listen to Captain Saunders tomorrow? The retired Delta Force soldier with the new book out?

SPEAKER_4 (2:25)

He's the polar opposite of those brain dead protesters.

Matt Walsh (2:28)

Given the current climate, should Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus? Mr. Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman. This is a decision I cannot fight.

SPEAKER_4 (2:36)

There are three ways Islam will conquer the West. Through immigration, through the wounds of our women, and by using our nation's freedoms against us.

Are you paying attention?

SPEAKER_3 (3:07)

The Great Satan, America will fall.

You are infidels. The bodies of women are not pure and the men's souls are unclean.

SPEAKER_4 (3:23)

What makes them so dangerous? Their goals are not in this life, but the next.

Matt Walsh (3:33)

Anyone? I got friends here.

SPEAKER_3 (3:35)

I can't just leave.

SPEAKER_4 (3:36)

Listen to me.

Michael Knowles (3:36)

In the law.

SPEAKER_4 (3:38)

We cannot run or hide from what is coming. We have to fight.

When you die, you're nothing. Only one way to find out. That's the American Way.

Michael Knowles (4:06)

Now, I know that was pretty subtle. So for those of you who didn't get the subtext of what was going on, a bunch of Muslims take over a school with the help of the leftist students. Variety is calling this movie Islamaphobic. Matt, would you like to respond and correct the record?

Matt Walsh (4:24)

Great to meet with you guys, by the way. It's always quite burdensome to be with all of you.

SPEAKER_3 (4:31)

That's not the word I wanted. I'm sorry.

Matt Walsh (4:34)

Look, I think it's very Islamaphobic, and I think we can embrace that. If Islamophobia, if that's even a word that means anything, then sure, let's embrace that. I think that the promise of The Daily Wire has always been, or the pitch has always been, well, we're going to make movies that you can't get anywhere else. We're going to make the movies that no one else will make. We'll make the movie that Netflix won't make, Amazon won't make. One thing you could certainly say about this movie, having seen it myself, of course, is that it definitely fulfills that promise.

You're not going to find this on Netflix, so you literally can't go anywhere else to find this movie or anything like it, and that's reason enough to go check it out, I'd say.

Michael Knowles (5:21)

Yeah, I would say in the fevered dreams of Charles Martel himself, you probably wouldn't see this movie. I think Pope Pius X would say, hey guys, slow your roll a little bit. This is a little heavy handed on the old Muslims. But it's not just the Muslims, it's also the purple haired liberal students who have a very strange alliance that a lot of us have been talking about for a long time. And Ben, you've been calling attention to for many years.
