Transcript
- Todd: There's a solution, but too many people in this country are soft and don't have the stomach for it. Execute these women, ideally in public. A lot of people with mental health problems are going to suddenly get over it if they know the other option is hanging from a rope. What do we think? Yo, it's Carrie: I I don't I don't know about I don't know about what Matt Walsh said, but I can't help but think that these people who wouldn't be able to stomach that somehow can stomach the fact that this woman strangled three of her kids one at a time. Todd: Welcome everyone to Todd's World, the wildly opinionated news hour. We're back. Sorry, we took another unscheduled time off. We had stuff going on over Labor Day weekend Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and Kate has or not Kate. Why'd I call you Kate? Carrie has kids moving back. I was thinking of kids, my kids Kate. But Yo, it's Carrie: Me? Yeah. Todd: Carrie, you had kids moving back, right? Didn't you move last weekend? Yo, it's Carrie: Back to Jack's, yes. So it was on nine four day, which is cool. Nine four is our area code. So they call September fourth nine four day and Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: here in Jacksonville and we're like, you're moving to Jack's on nine four day. Woo It was great. Todd: That's cool. Yo, it's Carrie: I know, it was really cool.

Todd: Okay or she's back 'cause he's or he's still here for a little bit. He's in the military and then he's gotta go back to to active duty or whatever they do. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Gonna kind of treat this like a deployment, sort of. We'll we'll see him. Like we'll see him at the holidays for sure. And yeah, Todd: That'll be good. Yo, it's Carrie: it'll be good. But the place is nice and having the baby here's cool. Yeah. He's almost two and a half. He's like Todd: Yeah, I bet it is. How old is how old's your grandson now? Well yeah, look at you go. Yo, it's Carrie: two yeah, two and a smidge. But he's so like he's so mean, like he's so mean to me on the phone. Todd: Is he? Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, Clarissa my daughter will be like, Hey, do you wanna come talk to me Mimi? Todd: Like when you're talking to him on FaceTime, are you just stretching exercise bands? Yo, it's Carrie: No. Lord have mercy, Todd. my gosh. no, but he just Todd: I just wondered. That's all the rage from what I hear. Yo, it's Carrie: Horrible. Absolutely horrible. It's like the worst news cycle. But anyway, no, he refuses to talk to me on you know, no he shouts no and runs away. But in person, I'm like one of his favorite Yeah, so feels good. Yeah, Todd: He's perfectly fine. That's f that's funny. Yo, it's Carrie: he's awesome. But it's good to be here. Everyone's here and it's great. Yeah. Todd: Good. I feel like, you know, when I look at the news of what's been going on, and I feel like we've Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: missed two weeks of news. And I feel like Yo, it's Carrie: Two weeks of news. Todd: nothing as much has changed. Like the last episode Yo, it's Carrie: Nope, it has not. Todd: we did, I think, I'm almost positive was Strangulation is healthcare. That's what it was entitled, because it was all about. We Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Todd: talked a lot about the Lindsey Clancy case. And in two weeks, I'm not sure that the national conversation has moved on all that much. Yo, it's Carrie: No, I feel like everyone's you know, as as as Todd: Like we are obsessed with child murders. Yo, it's Carrie: is normal right now, as is typical, I feel like everyone's just dug their heels in. Todd: I know. And and there now there was another one that happened. There was like a cot a couple copycats or something that Yo, it's Carrie: no. Todd: have gone on. Yo, it's Carrie: I've heard that and that's Todd: But that is not again, Lindsey Clancy's a copycat. You had we've had this. This is not something brand new that we've never seen. Do you know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Thankfully thankfully it's not common, but why all of a sudden is there an uptick? Todd: Who was that? there was a chick not that long ago that it was another famous case, and it was probably ten years ago or something. And she was crazy. I think she was found insane, so not capable of whatever stand in trial. What was that chick's name? Yates? Was it Andrea Yates? Does that ring a bell? Yo, it's Carrie: Maybe. Is she the one who drown drowned her kids? We were just talking about it Todd: I don't I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: yesterday and there was someone who drowned like five kids. Todd: Yeah. Andrea Yates. I'm gonna look her up quick, because I feel like that was the one that history of mental illness, Yo, it's Carrie: Susan Smith is the oof. Todd: her postpartum psychosis lasted 18 minutes. Yeah. It was another Yo, it's Carrie: jeez. Todd: one. What do you think about all this, Carrie? You're you're a woman, Yo, it's Carrie: I just Todd: and this seems to be by and large a woman problem. I I mean not completely. There's a lot of beta synth males out there. that haven't had their bottom surgery yet that might as well be females. But it that seems to be and I know it's not all women, clearly not you and and whatever. Yo, it's Carrie: No, it's not no, this is very rare this is very rare. But you wanna know my opinion on I I believe this is extremely real, but it's rare. And Todd: You know, I actually meant all the people defending her. Not post not whatever the pot not she felt sad and strangled her kids. However rare that may be. No, just the the response to it. That when I say that that's what I'm saying is like it seems to be women are really struggling with this. Yo, it's Carrie: I I was gonna say okay. yeah yeah. I yeah, I th okay, thank you, thank you. I no the response mm-hmm the response is really the response is very misguided. women who want to defend women you know, all inclusively, blindly, with this blanket, like, she's a woman, you c you can't you can't challenge anything that she has done or said, especially if you're a man. That kind like that kind of thinking has Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: has prevented the I'm gonna say a sm I'm hop hoping it's a small group of women who are defending this the fact that this she's a murderer and she Even if she was going through even if it was the medication and even if it was her condition, she still did it and she's still responsible. So I mean there Todd: And yet only out of twelve jurors, one Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: lone one lone juror, basically. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: I mean, one guy held out. Everybody else, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and this is this is right now we're gonna share with you guys, this is a picture of the Yo, it's Carrie: It's gotta be hard. Todd: one lone juror. We found out he was an African American Yo, it's Carrie: By the way, I keep seeing a picture of a man when they're talking about the lone juror and it's not a black man. Who who's the guy whose picture they keep showing? Who's that? It's not the husband. I don't either. Todd: I have no idea. I really don't. Yo, it's Carrie: I okay. So that's the lone Did you Todd: Carrie you sent me you sent me a video of Yo, it's Carrie: it's kind of stupid, but did you watch it? Todd: Of the lone j of one of another one of the lone jur. We're trying to figure out the the left has run into the problem of Okay, here he is. Yo, it's Carrie: It's It's it's stupid, but Ha ha Todd: Ha ha Whoa You're muffs. Yo, it's Carrie: Sorry. Todd: huh. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Yeah. my goodness. We interviewing you, we interviewing me. I love that. It's hysterical. The guy's pretty funny. Todd: Lock that bitch up. that's funny. Funny, funny, funny. So Makes me laugh. So yeah, there so one and now I've never seen I'll tell you what I think is different. The only thing that I've seen Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: I mean listen, sometimes moms kill their kids. Why we don't just throw them down a well immediately, I don't know. But Sometimes moms kill their kids and we think, you know what? We should feed and clothe and give them coloring books for the rest of their life in a mental institution. And I think, nah, maybe not. Maybe not. But okay. Yo, it's Carrie: I'm I'm okay with that. Todd: Let me read this this Matt Walsh thing. He just said he said, Yo, it's Carrie: boy. Todd: not not this. Hold on. Here he is. And tell me what you think about this. Matt Walsh has Yo, it's Carrie: What's Matt Walsh saying about this? Okay. Todd: been on this case a lot with a lot Yo, it's Carrie: I bet. Todd: of good commentary. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: And a lot of common sense, which can somehow Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: sound harsh somehow in our retarded world. So I don't know why. But here's here's some Matt Walsh common sense. I think. This is he was responding to a replying to a report from the New York Post that Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: a Massachusetts mom was accused of murdering two kids and fleeing the state. Anyway, it's another copycat thing. This just happened. So Matt Walsh Yo, it's Carrie: shoot. In Massachusetts also. Todd: says says There's a solution, but too many people in this country are soft and don't have the stomach for it. Execute these women, ideally in public. A lot of people with mental health problems are going to suddenly get over it if they know the other option is hanging from a rope. What do we think? Yo, it's Carrie: I I don't I don't know about I don't know about what Matt Walsh said, but I can't help but think that these people who wouldn't be able to stomach that somehow can stomach the fact that this woman strangled three of her kids one at a time. Todd: Yeah. What is it? What is it that they want to excuse, do you think? 'Cause I've got Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know. I I don't Todd: I've got these jurors. I've got some video Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know. Todd: of these crazy ass jurors. Yo, it's Carrie: yeah? Todd: Mostly chicks. I think I got the one guy you know, by the way, I I frequently complain that TikTok holds us down and everything else. And you know, I had Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: a TikTok run up. It wasn't like viral, but it got like seventeen thousand views this week, which that was something. That's better Yo, it's Carrie: I know. Todd: than TikTok has been ever since they shut us down that one time. We got Yo, it's Carrie: No kidding. Which one was it? Was it about strangulation being health care? Todd: It was just a photo of that one lone dude jur Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: and and the text on it I said that look here. I'll share it if I can find it. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Cause I didn't I didn't see this. No. Todd: You didn't you you didn't see it or comment on it? Yo, it's Carrie: I didn't. Todd: Really? Let me here, let me put it up so I I Yo, it's Carrie: I wanna be the seventeenth and first seventeen Todd: Here it is. Yo, it's Carrie: thousand and first viewer. Todd: maybe later. Gosh, why you trying to get me to do all these things? Okay. No, axe I mean, was trying to get me to it was like Yo, it's Carrie: Sorry, you had something go go big. Go big, let's see it. Todd: Here it is, Carrie. That look when you realize you're missing balls Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. That look when you realize she was Todd: and a spine and Lindsay is rolling in fast with her exercise ban. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. That's the guy I keep seeing and I figured that was the lone juror. Todd: That's the that's no it's not the lone juror. He's one of the two guy jurors who are like, you know, she was just so mean. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: Or not mean or or why is everybody so mean? She was insane, you know, wants to let the chick off. Which seems to be Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. I I don't get I don't get that. I don't get it. You can you can you can hold her accountable even if she was screwed up mentally and on and on medication. It doesn't excuse the horror. Okay. Todd: Here, let's hear. This they they've got an interview with this guy. This is ABC. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: It doesn't matter who the talking hat is. I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: even know. Hold on, let's start this over. Okay. This is the this is one of the the dudes, one of the two dudes. There's three guys on the Clancy jury. And then nine harpies. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. And nine women? Todd: And yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Ouch. Todd: And they two of Yo, it's Carrie: Although although. Todd: the dudes were immediately put in their place. They were Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: caged and told how they were gonna vote. And then Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: one guy and then we find out this one guy's a black guy. So the left is going crazy because they're racist. That's what we found out. So this is one of the jurors who Yo, it's Carrie: I hate it when people discover that they're racist. Don't you hate that? Todd: It's so hard for the left because their their competing like virtue signals all start to run into each other and it looks like a demolition derby. And then kids die. There's always dead kids at the end of their demolition derby. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. When they clash it's it's a it's a it's a big mind it's a big mind F when the virtue signals hit are in a demolition derby. Todd: So this is one of the guys who immediately turned over his manhood to the nurses on Yo, it's Carrie: boy. Todd: the jury. Her kids deserve to be killed. Yeah, I bet you do. He thinks about every day. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Man, he is he is gonna think about them every day. I wonder I wonder if that shift will happen. I wonder if one day he'll be like if the heartbreak over those kids will suddenly flip a switch in his brain. I mean, what do you think? Don't you think? Todd: No, I think he's deceived. No, I don't. I think he's deceived. Fodder for the eternal barbecue. That's what I think. I know. No, I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Even years from now. I'm just saying people no. Speaking of that, our other show is called Beers with Jesus. Todd: Good job. Kerry, give us the plug. Yo, it's Carrie: Beers with Jesus is our other show. We do not promote the eternal barbecue. However, we walk through stories so I know. Todd: Some we'd like to see there. If only if only there was one. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, terrible. no, that's really not our mindset on the show, but we talk we walk through the stories of the Bible and for people who Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: aren't familiar with the Bible, for people who are, and we just talk about the story. It's great. Todd: We We try to keep it simple, right? Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, and we're in Genesis right now, and it's been just action packed. At Genesis is action packed. There is. So yeah. Todd: There's lot going on. Turns out when you create a world out of nothing, that's a lot. Like there's a it's gonna be a little conflict down the road. Here's so yeah, listen. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. So tomorrow check out Beers with Jesus. Todd: Beers of Jesus we do every week. While the opinion news hour we do bi weekly. So we do it every Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: other week. For those of you in real Linda, as Rush used to say. Here Yo, it's Carrie: Ha ha ha. Todd: is this is I think this is a nurse. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: on one of the chick jurors on the on the Clancy jury. And she's Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: telling us, telling everyone, how she they just couldn't understand this this sorry guys this black or not she doesn't call black. They hadn't outed him yet as black. But how he just he he couldn't seem to comprehend what all these bright intelligent women were telling him about why sometimes it's okay to strangle your kids one by one by one. It's okay Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: to run after the five year old boy who just watched you Yo, it's Carrie: He didn't get it. Todd: strangle his sister and catch him anyway and take the five minutes, re grasp that exercise band if you need to. I mean that's what we're talking about. I don't care whether she knew what she was doing. We can't have people like this in our society. Like civilization doesn't work that way. You know? Yo, it's Carrie: It's it's yeah. yeah, so she's a nurse. We're gonna talk about the whole like n like nurse situation in the jury when you're after the clip. Yeah. Okay. Todd: Yes. And and this is who I think she's one of Let's see what she has to say. I don't know what her name is, it doesn't matter. Nobody'll remember after this. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Nurse one. Todd: Except the exercise bands. And the dead bodies. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: So there you go, Carrie, what do you think? Yo, it's Carrie: I mean I get I get that. It just Todd: You do. Yo, it's Carrie: I get that. I just in the in a case like this, so the the concept of not guilty by reason of insanity, I just I I don't feel like that's appropriate. I think you still need Todd: I agree. Yo, it's Carrie: to be held accountable. It might not be the same as I don't know. I mean, does anyone is anyone really right in the head who can go and take a human life? This is just Todd: See I think that's part of part of the problem part of the thing that women specifically are struggling with here. Men Yo, it's Carrie: Uh-huh. Todd: I think maybe two, I don't know, but I think Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: that the the question becomes well she had to be crazy because no one would ever do that. Yo, it's Carrie: Not to their kids. Todd: And if if you have to be crazy and if you're not accountable i if you're not in your right mind, then it's fine suddenly. Like sometimes kids get killed. By their moms. That's what happens in America. Yo, it's Carrie: yeah see I I was gonna say like it they can't it it's just that can't be the that can't be the resolution. Those can't be the only options is how I feel. So while I understand what she's saying, I'm Todd: Mm. Yo, it's Carrie: sure this woman did love her kids. She seemed like a you know, I'm gonna say normal mother un until this condition, until this after this last baby. Todd: Do you think it's fair to say there's a mental cr health crisis in America? Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Yeah. Todd: I would say. These SSRIs are a problem. Yo, it's Carrie: I was gonna say I don't think the medication is doing is helping much. I and it probably helps some, but I I think maybe it's being over maybe it's being over prescribed. Now I'm completely talking out of nowhere here, but you know when like ADD ADD came on the scene, Todd: I don't think you are. I think everybody knows that. Yo, it's Carrie: you know, ADHD Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: and then doctors just started over prescribing medication for it because it works for some, so it's like they just started throwing drugs at it. I wonder How I wonder how that is translating to the mental health problems. I wonder if doctors are just like, here, try this. Todd: Why why would a why would the health profession just well I mean maybe it's not just the health profession, w Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: maybe it's schools, maybe it's well why would all these parents, all these all these people, these doctors, these teachers, these principals, all these people, why would they want all these kids on ADHD meds, you think? Yo, it's Carrie: Well, it's not that they want them on meds, they just want them all to be controllable. Todd: They want everybody to fit into a one size fix fits all box, of which Yo, it's Carrie: Of course. Todd: I'm not sure that education's ever really worked that way. At least not very well. Yo, it's Carrie: No, it hasn't. But it but it it's just again, it's misguided it's a misguided vision of how of how the world is. Kids aren't like that. Some kids are gonna bounce off the walls. Todd: Do you think it do you think it's another s do you think it's another sign of see, I think our our society has an in an endemic Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: problem of of adults discounting children. So adults are what matters. Now listen, that Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: wouldn't make us any different than than pagan Rome in Christ's day. They had walls where you could just take your kids if you didn't because children weren't people. I mean women weren't people in Rome. It's just as how Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: it was. They they didn't have those rights. Slaves weren't people. They didn't have those rights. Only male citizens of Rome had their, you know, the rights of citizens. That's how it was. So now that started to change with the introduction of Christianity. It was Christianity that began that came into Rome and and then began to add value. Intrinsic, not Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: not to add it. It began to declare the intrinsic value that God had Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Recognize Todd: put into humans, into children, into women, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: into you know that it that it doesn't matter that we all have intrinsic value. And then you started to see to to see a lot of those that was the beginning of Western civilization. You start to see a lot of those things change. Suddenly Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: it's not legal just to take your baby out and throw it off a wall. And it was in first century. So Yo, it's Carrie: Hm. Todd: Those kinds of things. But I think we have the same problem today. So we've we we've kind of come all the way around full circle. So I think that's kinda how civilization goes, is is you start to care for the weak, for the vulnerable. You you you want to have intrinsic value in in everyone. And Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: and then but then you get on the other side of that and then you s you introduce abortion, you introduce birth control, you introduce an entire philosophy to for about, you know, four or five decades. And it radically changes society. And suddenly people don't value children anymore like they used to. By and large. I'm not saying nobody. I'm just saying, like Yo, it's Carrie: Hmm. Right. Todd: kids, now what matters is if you want to go out and have fun. And this was the case for a long time. If you want to get divorced, get divorced. Doesn't matter for your kids, right? Like it it we Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: grew up with that a little bit with the latchkey kids and everything else. That probably in our Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Well I was gonna say it's yeah, go ahead. Todd: No, I was just gonna say it might have peaked for Gen X in our as we were growing up. Yo, it's Carrie: It did and I don't know and it's it's funny because at that time I wouldn't say that those those parents were selfish, but I do think that that shift happened where women were encouraged, if you wanna if you wanna have a career, go have a career. Your your kids Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: can your kids can go home and they at a certain age can take care of themselves. That's fine. I don't and my mom did that and she she worked really hard and I respect her for that. Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: but So I'm not including Yeah. Todd: Well to be fair, you have you have situations where you have abuse and there's reasons for marriages to to legitimate reasons for mar for to leave and for marriages to break up, right? Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. Sure. Right. But this kind of this diminished regard for life for child the you know, the intrinsic value of children and all that, when I ha listened to you talk, I thought the umbrella that's happening here I think is not necessarily it's not as narrow as as not val like not valuing children, I think it's really putting the value, like the focus of the value and your attention all on the self. Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Because, you know, family planning today is all about, well, what works for, you know, what works for you, what's Todd: Right. Yo, it's Carrie: gonna make you happy. Whereas, you know, people who have children learn that you care about someone more than you care for yourself. Todd: Right. Yo, it's Carrie: And that's a scary leap to take, obviously, but it's important that you're capable of doing that. Todd: Is there is there any other way, do you think we do beers with Jesus too? We just said that, obviously. So we approach Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Mm-hmm. Todd: life from a Christian worldview perspective. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: Is there any way to be a follower of Christ and maintain the focus squarely on yourself? Do you think? Do you think you could be a Christian society and have rampant selfishness? Do you know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: yeah, okay. Okay, thank you. I was gonna say, you are a lot like we are we are created in the image of God. We're supposed to love ourselves, take care of ourselves, Todd: Mm-hmm. Sure. Yo, it's Carrie: be grateful for our bodies, for our brains, for our cap we're supposed to use our gifts. Like we're supposed to not disregard ourselves. But when you say rampant selfishness, no. Are there times mm hmm? Todd: Well, I mean, doesn't Jes Jesus says, listen, if you the the way up is the if you want to be great in the kingdom of God, then become the least, wash people's feet, become a servant. Like like Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Right. Todd: what Jesus was advocating was a Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: hundred and eighty degrees different than what all of society or the world Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Right. Todd: thinks and how they approach things. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. And if you do that, if you are loving to others, if you care for others, if you serve others, it brings you joy. Like Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: it's what makes you a happier it's it's what makes you a your life happier. Todd: It's in there there's a there's a Christian idea, a Christian that Christ articulated that it's in giving up yourself that you find your true self. You know what I mean? And so what I think you can it's Yo, it's Carrie: Can you can you say that again, please? Todd: in giving up ourselves Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: that we find our true selves. Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Todd: I mean Jesus says that specifically. He says if you want to find yourself, you have to you have to deny yourself or or or give up yourself. But what you're doing in that is you're saying, I'm I I recognize that God made me in his image and that I have some value, but I'm and I reckon but I'm gonna lay down those rights and say, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna do what I can for others or or whatever the whatever the case. You know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: And and it seems like the further that we move away from that, that the more selfish our society becomes. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Todd: The more things like this happen, the more we have mass shootings, the more we have women Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: or whoever killing kids or men killing women or whatever, whatever it is. I mean, we have Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Mm-hmm. Todd: it's not just women out there. I mean, women are the ones out there killing their kids mostly, but that but it's been ingrained into them that abortion was fine. And how much of that do you think plays in? I mean, how Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Ooh. Todd: much do you think fifty years? It was about fifty years, right, of Roe v. Wade? And to Yo, it's Carrie: Mm, sure. Todd: be fair, for all the screaming the left did. When the Supreme Court struck down Road v. Wade, there's more abortions today than there were before. So, Yo, it's Carrie: Are there? Todd: yes, there has not made a noticeable now. That's not true. There's individual states that have passed laws, and so in certain Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: states it has affected and there's lower abortions. But Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: by and large, the blue states have made up for it or whatever. So there they're there's if if anything, a little bit of an increase. Because there were some Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: There were some inherent it didn't seem like there was many guardrails when you're talking about killing your own kids, but there was some guardrails in Roe versus Wade that were kind of pulled out. Like I think KC Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: had been applied and that was like a twenty three week, you know. Yo, it's Carrie: gosh, twenty three weeks. Todd: Kinda kinda deadline, like you couldn't you couldn't kill kids after twenty three weeks. But now because Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Roe was overturned, that's why you have the Massachusetts governor with all their little harpies around her cheering because we can kill kids all the way up to birth. And then it it goes beyond Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, I don't get that. Todd: that. It goes into well you have postpartum depression. I mean look at all the you you're dealing with a lot with all these kids. It's understandable why you would grab an exercise band and wrap it around their necks and strangle What? Like it's just You know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: And I think too, and I think too these like mental illnesses, mental disorders like, you know, disassociative disorder and you know, the sociopathic descriptions, they are all d I I my understanding is that they're all kind of like a disconnection from others. Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: so and I don't know if I don't know if that's a byproduct of this sort of way that our culture has shifted or if we're just recognizing it more, I'm not sure. But but defending those things, it's if you're defending if you're defending those things, you need to kind of check yourself, I think. You Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: can feel compassion for someone and still believe that they've done wrong and should be held accountable. Todd: You I I think it's fair to say you can feel compassion for someone and still kill them. Execute them as as the state. Hold on. Hold on. I've got I've got something better though that's gotta come off of that because Yo, it's Carrie: Gosh Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Todd: I forgot about it until right then when I said it and I realized, holy cow Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know how I feel about capit I don't know how I feel about capital punishment though, Todd. Todd: Well we just went through in Genesis, right? And God said that if if if if men if if man kills other men, then by men his blood will be spilled. Right? God specifically gave the state orders Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: for capital punishment, and it was specifically for if you kill somebody, you should be killed. I mean that's real Yo, it's Carrie: But also how many other times in the Bible does it say that God will be the final judge? Todd: Well but that would the one wouldn't have anything to do with the other. The fact that the fact that Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know, I feel like us passing judgment and taking someone's life for something I don't know, I don't I don't I don't feel right about it. Todd: Well, we pass judgment on all kinds of things all the time and we're not God isn't giving up his right to the final judgment by you know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: Sh sure, sure. But like the ul like the ultimate penalty. I don't know. Yep. Todd: You think that that really? I think capital punishment is so it's it's I I Yo, it's Carrie: Well, so when I was younger I was I was pro choice and fine with capital punishment and it I didn't I didn't see it coming, but as I changed my views on abortion, my views of capital punishment followed. Todd: Really? Yo, it's Carrie: They did. It was very unexpected. Todd: So you took innocent life and added it to guilty life. Yo, it's Carrie: Guilty life I and I think I know, I think I just took the adjective out. It's like life I don't know. I don't know. I I feel I'm really like, mm hmm. Mm-hmm. Todd: Really? See, it's shocking to me what I don't understand about that position is it's shocking to me that people look at well either this or maybe people don't really look at and know that much about our prison system. It's shocking to me people would look at our prison system where we essentially turn people into animals and think, That's better. I I just don't see it. I don't see it. I I just think to me you're you're making people less than human and I I don't like that at all. I don't like Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: I don't have a necessarily a great solution to the prison problem Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, right. Todd: other than if you kill people you get killed and it and if it was swift justice it would it would solve some of that. But I really don't like I do not like turning men into caged animals. I just don't like it. Yo, it's Carrie: Right, I I ag understand that perspective too. The other thing that we didn't say last time about this killing the children concept and and Todd: huh. Yo, it's Carrie: defending this is and this was just discussed recently, is that our laws seem to be more protective of animals than they are of children right now. Todd: somebody said that. Somebody said if she'd have killed puppies, none of these women would be on her side. Yo, it's Carrie: No. Which is which is another bizarre twist and reflection of yeah, of where we are. Doesn't make sense. Todd: This is Anne Hathaway. Yo, it's Carrie: Hello, Anne Hathaway. Todd: By the way, I want to tell people that it was just announced by Tom Cruise that he's making Days of Thunder 2. And Anne Hathaway's gonna star in Days of Thunder too. I really like the first Days of Thunder. I thought it was like top gun on wheels. Yo, it's Carrie: Really? Really? Days of Thunder was so good. How come Nicole Kidman isn't on gonna be on the scene? Did he need someone a little younger? I I guess, but so is Tom Cruise. Todd: She's a little long in the tooth, Gary. I know he is. He's so old. Yo, it's Carrie: Tom Cruise is like, I can't have an age-appropriate co-star. This is that's really cool. Days of Thunder was fun. Todd: I have a th I have a feeling that things went badly between Tom and Nicole at some point. Yo, it's Carrie: Probably. Maybe after making eyes wide shut it got weird. Todd: So when I said that it's a mercy to kill kids. Let's listen Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: to Anne Hathaway. Wow. Sometimes sometimes you get a glimpse into the absolute vacancy that is the human mind and some people and you think, Holy shit, they actually drive. This is scary being out there. Yo, it's Carrie: Tod Tod No two armed robberies No two sexual assaults are the same. How how can we have a law that treats them the same? Hello? It's the law. wow. Todd: I I mean no anything is the same. Based on that, you wouldn't have any Yo, it's Carrie: I I know. Todd: laws, you wouldn't have any society. Well what is she talking about? Yo, it's Carrie: Followed her, I followed her, I was with her a hundred percent until she got to how can you have a law? It's like so we have civilization? True. Well Todd: No two pregnancies are the same. What does that mean? No two lives are the same. What does that mean? That doesn't mean anything. Yo, it's Carrie: I think she's talking about circumstances. I mean, of course, it's stating the obvious, but I'm sorry, when if if your deduction is how can we have a law, then you're I I feel like you're you're living in a whole in a on another planet. You can't you can't you can't Wow Todd: I think she is living in another planet. Let's be honest. A and I don't know that I care one way or the other about Anne Hathaway. I don't have very strong feelings about Anne Hathaway. Yo, it's Carrie: I think she's a talented person, but I that's that's a pretty that's a pretty wild statement. I just Todd: I she's whatever, you know. Yo, it's Carrie: that that seems it just seems very out of out of touch to me. Okay. Todd: gee did you know was it while we were gone? It must be. In the last couple of weeks. I sometimes get you know, with Trump things mix up. But that we we renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, that happened right after like right before it was two weeks ago. It was right before it was the before the weekend that we couldn't record and then Do Todd: I just absolutely love it. Yo, it's Carrie: you I'm so confused about this, Todd. my god. Todd: This is so great. Yo, it's Carrie: Todd, hold on a second. Why can you please? Todd: Ha ha ha Yo, it's Carrie: I'm so embarrassed that we're talking about this. I'm actually okay with the The Gulf of America. I'm okay with that. The this Lake Ontario thing is so stupid. It's what does this have to do with Canada? This Lake Ontario is a great lake. Right? Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: It's one of the Great Lakes of Michigan, which is part of the United Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: States. Why is he renaming one of our lakes? Todd: Because he doesn't want it named after Canada. Yo, it's Carrie: Is Ontario is Lake Ontario named after Canada? I mean is it after the I just it's Todd: Well, I Ontario's in Canada, I mean. But Yo, it's Carrie: not like Canada named it. my gosh. Todd: To me I think it's funny. I I think to me I think it's Trump trolling and I love it. Yo, it's Carrie: I was gonna say he's trolling. He's he's distracting people from whatever. my gosh, what is this? Todd: But then I love that he can sign an executive order and Google has to change it on their maps. I just I love it in ways you can't even imagine. I just but this this is the best name change and this this this applies the we're right on. I mean I'm only twelve miles away. We we found on this graphic if you guys aren't watching it, it's shows Lake Michigan, which is i Lake Michigan if you're looking at it Compared to the other Great Lakes, it's kinda long. It kinda like hangs down almost. Yo, it's Carrie: Between Michigan and Wisconsin. For people who aren't from Michigan, yes, it's the one between Michigan and Wisconsin. Todd: And the this graphic says that he renamed it to Lake Michelle Obama in honor of Big Mike. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. It should be called Lake Big Mike. It should be called. my gosh. Todd: I just love that. I loved it so much. I love that he just does it and he doesn't even care. It's a it's it's it's so great. Hold on, I gotta find I I've got, don't let me forget. I've got John Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Fetterman and Greta Van Sestren talking about what a fabulous person Trump is, personally. The the in ways that people don't see. But first, let's get a little bit more of Trump. I want to play Trump Yo, it's Carrie: Greta. Interesting. Todd: talking about do you know who James Tallerico is? Yo, it's Carrie: No. Not by name. Todd: He here he is talking about Tiger Woods. That's the problem, is I get so many Trump clips, and every one of them I look at and I think, well, how can he not love Trump? Here he is talking about Tiger Woods. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Did you know that Tiger Woods had a had a problem? Why is this not Sharon? Sorry guys, I don't know what's happening here exactly. Hold on, let me try that again. This is the kind of thing Gronk will be why don't you edit that out? It's peak authenticity, Grok. Yo, it's Carrie: That's a peak authenticity. Todd: Did you know that Tiger Woods had another mishap with the law? Yeah, he he drunk driving. Yeah, he got you didn't hear about that? He got an accident. The second one. Remember he had a big one? That was way back when. When all the stories Yo, it's Carrie: No. Recently? poor I did not. Right. Years ago, right. Todd: were coming out about all the girls and everything. And now he and then Yo, it's Carrie: When was this? Todd: he gotten another one in the last year. Yo, it's Carrie: maybe. Todd: And you know, Tiger Woods is dating Don Jr.'s ex wife, Vanessa. Did you know that? Yo, it's Carrie: No Todd: The blonde, you know, Vanessa. You don't remember the Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know the I don't know the blonde. Todd: original Don she was his wife. She had all this Don Jr.'s kids. Yo, it's Carrie: okay, no. I just know I just Todd: And in his first term they were married. Yo, it's Carrie: know what's her name, the pretty one that he was dating for a long time. Okay. Todd: Yeah. Well here's Trump and Trump is a good friend with Tiger Woods. And they ask him because Tiger Woods lost he he he went to court for his Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: DUI and he lost his license for like five years. So Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: because he crashed two cars. This is Trump talking about. Pain meds. If you're Tiger Woods, how do you have bad doctor? You're worth like a billion, five billion dollars. How do you have bad doctor? Yo, it's Carrie: Well, I wanna know why I wanna know why are you driving yourself anywhere? I would so have a I would so Todd: You're not gonna be any for a while. Yo, it's Carrie: have a driver if I were Tiger Woods. Todd: You don't remember that? It was last year during the Masters and they were like they had all these memes Tiger Woods shows up to the Masters and it whir and its car rolls onto the green. Yeah. And he Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: You and Trump are on the same page. Yo, it's Carrie: Right? Todd: I loved I just I love Trump. I I can't not love Trump. I pay four so gas jumps seventy cents in a day and somehow I still love Trump. I don't even know how I don't Yo, it's Carrie: It yeah. It was like a dollar here. What happened? That was ridiculous. Todd: I think we blew up a few oil tankers in the Yo, it's Carrie: Fortunately I filled up the day before but I was I was still grumbling about it because, you know. Todd: There was a there was a midterm a midterm convention, like a midterm Republican convention in Dallas this week, I think. Or Texas. It was Dallas, wasn't it? Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. I think so, yep. Todd: Yeah. and do you know who James Tallerico is? He's running for Senate in Texas. He's a little white guy. And he Yo, it's Carrie: No, I don't think so. Not by name. okay. Okay. Todd: claims that he's an ordained minister and He's thinks God's non-binary and say there's six genders and he's real, real, real, Yo, it's Carrie: What? Todd: real, real left. And so anyway, he's running against Ken Paxson in Texas. And Trump, he he's one of these little he's one of these little beta males. He looks a little like Pete Booty Yo, it's Carrie: So sorry. I'm so sorry. Todd: judge. So the clock's going. Yo, it's Carrie: Dad, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to no no. no no. Can you hear the clock? Sorry. I'm just laughing. Todd: I can hear the clock. Yo, it's Carrie: I'm just laughing at the concept. I wonder about God hearing someone try to describe him by our er by our humanly terms like non binary and I I Todd: It's so stupid. Yo, it's Carrie: I know it's just like, come on. It's just funny. Okay. Todd: It's ridiculous. Okay, here's Trump. And he's talking about James Tallerico. So James Tallerico's running the Senate race. He's a he's a Democrat, lefty, styles Yo, it's Carrie: running against Todd: himself as a Christian who thinks it's fine to, you know, kill your kids, bang your kids, whatever, all the different things. Yo, it's Carrie: okay. Todd: You know, drag queen story hours. Whatever. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: So this is Trump, and he's talking about James Tallerico. Hold on, let me pull it up here quick. And this is at the convention thing. I didn't I didn't actually watch the convention. and not because I was watching the NFL. I was just busy and I you know at a wedding this week Yo, it's Carrie: I happen to catch a few minutes. Yeah. Todd: and I'm working a lot. I didn't have time, but I caught some clips. This is Trump on James Tallerico. It's just classic Trump. Get ready, guys, because you're gonna laugh. He's hilarious. Yo, it's Carrie: What? Todd: Gender mutilation. Haha. Yo, it's Carrie: What? Todd: This is just Trump's skillin' meat. Yo, it's Carrie: no no Ha ha ha. Todd: Just love him. Yo, it's Carrie: This is so dead. Just the way he says me. no. Todd: Come on. Ha ha. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. How did he be how did Todd: I love drum. Yo, it's Carrie: he become their candidate? Todd: Tellafrica Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: I love Trump. Yo, it's Carrie: How on earth did did the Democrats in Texas choose this candidate as their guy? It's so crazy. I mean it Todd: He's getting a lot of pub. I mean he he really is. There's this is Yo, it's Carrie: just any like any kind of c any kind of extremism, any fringy stuff like that just surprises me. But I mean like the so socialist the socialists in Michigan, the Todd: I don't think Texas is as I don't think they're as conservative as we'd hope. I mean you got a ton of Islamic Sharia law stuff down there. This is Brandon Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: Gill talking about Talafrico too at the same convention thing. Remember Brandon Gill? He's a Yo, it's Carrie: Brain and Gil? Yes. Todd: he's a congressman from Texas who Yeah, he wanted to know Yo, it's Carrie: He's Clark Kent. I love him. Todd: he was asking the the lady what her favorite kind of abortion was. Remember and then he'd read out. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: he's tough. Here he is. that was Yo, it's Carrie: Ew. Todd: such a good line. Silence of the lambs, come on. He's so right too. That's exactly what he's doing. Yo, it's Carrie: Ew Ew Ooh That gives me gives me a shiver. That's a gross that's a gross visual. Todd: He it's right right on though. we don't need a script. What's going on, Carrie? I don't know. There's buttons at the bottom I'm hitting that I don't even know what they're doing. It's not on your end. Yo, it's Carrie: see I don't see anything. But I was gonna say there you go. I was gonna say you gotta pa pause it on him if you're gonna show his little clip. Todd: Here's Brandon Gill again. This is same speech, different this is how he began, I think his speech. He began his speech Yo, it's Carrie: Segment? Okay. Todd: with a land acknowledgement, if we all know what those are. Yo, it's Carrie: The land acknowledgement? I'm not used to seeing him smile. Todd: That's his that's his his throwing shade at you know how they do these land acknowledgements and they're like, We're on aboriginal land. They just did that in Australia. They before they start anything. Yo, it's Carrie: gotcha. Todd: That's what a tech that's what a land acknowledgement is. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: So yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Gotcha. I'm not used to seeing him smile. He usually in those you know, in those congressional hearings and stuff, he's very serious, so it's Todd: He's a handsome, good looking guy. He should do pretty he's young, should do well, and you know, he should be have a bright future, you would think. And the party's conservative, he's articulate. Like I like Biden talking about Barack Obama. He's clean and articulate Yo, it's Carrie: Do you remember that? It was so embarrassing. That must have been so embarrassing. Todd: Meanwhile, James Carvel's like, This kid would have been getting us coffee twenty years ago Yo, it's Carrie: Is that what he said? Did James Carmel say that? Todd: I don't know if he said it out l like publicly. Well no, I mean I know he sa I just don't know if it was like a public statement. I think it was just somebody said these were the kinds of things that are happening behind the scenes. So I love Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, you're just making a joke? That's so funny. Okay. my gosh. Wow. Todd: Trump. So I don't know what's going on with Iran. God, I hope we get gas prices down soon. Otherwise I think Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: the midterms are toast, but I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: I hope so too. Todd: Maybe I'm wrong. I I I really don't know. Man, that's a long one. I had a Bobby Kennedy clip. Did you see that Michigan game last week? Speaking of college sports? Yo, it's Carrie: So I didn't see the end. Obviously obviously it was a big it was a big to-do, a big hullabaloo, a kerfuffle, as Todd Allen would say. Yeah, I that's wild. I mean, Todd: Yeah, apparently you just add a second if you need one. Yo, it's Carrie: what the heck? I I've seriously I've heard I've heard from the football rule experts that the adding Todd: That it was okay. Yo, it's Carrie: a second onto the clock was legit. Do you disagree with that? I mean it looks bad. Forget the looking bad according to Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: the rules, adding one second. But then they're saying that clocks were different. The clocks were different. Yeah. Todd: No, I don't think it was because they're supposed to the well I don't know. You know what, college all of college athletics now is just a giant joke. And it it really is it's difficult. It's difficult because now you've got Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: like Bryce Young is this quarterback from Michigan. Michigan Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: spent twelve million dollars on him. He's horrible. I mean horrible. Like Carrie might be Yo, it's Carrie: And who is he? Todd: able to stand behind center and be a better quarterback than Bryce Young. And yet Michigan spent twelve million dollars. So you've got Yo, it's Carrie: Lord. Todd: this, he's your marquee guy. You've spent twelve million dollars on him. Now you're running into the things that they run into in the pros, which is you've you drafted this guy first pick, he's got all this money wrapped up into him, and he's just not good. What are you supposed to do? You put the backup in when you spent twelve million on your quarterback? You know what I mean? You run into all these problems when you when when you it's just all about money and all about it's just a giant Yo, it's Carrie: I hate yeah, I understand professional sports being about money. It really bums me out when college sports become about money. I mean Todd. Todd: Yeah. And they are, a hundred percent. I mean they are worse maybe now than the pro sports because there's no rules, there's no guardrails anywhere. You do whatever you want, you pay whoever you want, you Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: can go to the pros, you can come back to the college, it doesn't nothing matters. Like Yo, it's Carrie: Maybe that maybe that ref got, you know, paid a little extra. Maybe the clock keeper got paid a little extra last week. I don't know. the part the portion okay, is that is that today? Todd: I think it'll be interesting to see him play Oklahoma this week. Western Michigan is who they Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and and see that's who really cause you know, we're from West Michigan, it really pisses me off 'cause I think Western deserve that win. They won the game. That's who it bothers me for. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. yeah, I was gonna say they they played very well. They were playing well the whole game. Todd: Like for for Michigan, what does that game mean? The difference between a five win season or a six win season? But for Western this is like I mean, imagine if they make the playoffs. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: It's a f it's a feather it's a feather in the cap to beat a big ten. Sure. Todd: So anyway, that's our that's our little sports pro update. Yes, Yo, it's Carrie: So did you guys see it happen? Did you watch it live? Todd: we were Lauren had a gig. Which she does tonight too. but Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. cool. Todd: She it was at it was in building actually and Will and I were both but we were so we weren't watching close. We just had this feeling like you kept watching and you kept seeing Western Michigan score field goals and you'd see Michigan be down and you're like, It's like twelve six. It's like what's going on? You know what I mean? Like And then you see Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Right. It should have been kind of a blowout. Todd: it and everybody's like, my god, they lost and then they're like, No, wait a minute, wait a tick. Wait just a second. So yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: man Wow. Todd: I interesting, right? We'll see. We'll see. Carrie's a Michigan football fan. I live in Michigan, so of course I hear about it. But this was AOC. You know that by and large, a lot of people think AOC is the front runner for the Dem 2028 presidential nomination. Yo, it's Carrie: Really? Todd: I mean, yeah, I don't I I don't know if that's official like on the polymarket on the the odds, but there's a lot Yo, it's Carrie: I Ugh Todd: of people that talk about it. What do you think about her? Yo, it's Carrie: What I think about her? I think she's horrible. I think you did. I don't know. You Todd: What happened to me? Did I just disappear? What'd I do? She sorry guys. I g I don't know what's going on. Yo, it's Carrie: For a moment I was like in charge of Todd's world. I missed my chance to like take the controls. Todd, I think she's just such a I think she's Todd: Carrie was all alone. Carrie was taking the exercise bands into hand. Yo, it's Carrie: such a horrible she's such a horrible person. And here's the Todd: This is this is interesting. Yo, it's Carrie: thing. I mean I I just I disagree with all I disagree with all of her policies. I don't I I think she's very ugh, yeah, that's all I'm gonna say. Todd: You think she has a chance in hell of getting elected? Yo, it's Carrie: It depends on the our election integrity. Todd: Well, if it depends on that then yes. She does. She s she might as well already be elected. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Well that's what I mean. I mean it's kind of terrifying. Anytime anyone they throw up there, I'm just gonna be like, Lord help us because also she's like, She's a woman. Todd: I wanna read this tweet. This is Clay Travis. Go ahead, Gary. Yo, it's Carrie: People are gonna be like, She's a woman and we need a w you know, people are just really hung up on this. We need a woman presidents like I don't really care. I I I don't really care. Yes, I want the best person and I just and I disagree with Todd: Yeah. The best person would be good. I actually given what we've seen from women on the jury of Lindsey Clancy, would think maybe not. Maybe a black guy. Maybe the lone juror. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Okay. yeah, look, look at his first Todd: This is Clay Travis. Clay Travis Yo, it's Carrie: line. Look at his caption. Todd: Yep. So this is from the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. They Clay and Buck took over for Rush after Rush passed away. So when you when you tune into Russia's show noon to three, what used to be Russia's show, you hear the same Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: bumper music, but it's the Clay and Buck show now. So Clay Travis says, I think AOC is wrong on almost all of her political positions, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: but ninety-five percent of politicians can't be normal on a walking interview like she is here. I think there's a desperate craving for normal in politics today. Don't underrate her. Kamala can't do this. Okay, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: I wanted to to do that and then we'll watch it. This is about a two, two and a half minute video. So Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Okay. Todd: he's saying Kamala couldn't do what ALC does here. Yo, it's Carrie: True. Todd: She likes to kill kids. Would you have children? Would you kill Would you would you strangle them? Yo, it's Carrie: have children in a okay. Would you have children? Would you become a mother while you're in office? Okay, gotcha. my k was that just the implied Todd: Did yeah. Would you have children in office and then would you strangle them if you were sad? Like if you had a bad day, might you strangle them? Here. And not strangle it. Yo, it's Carrie: Yes, she is. Todd: Whoa. If you're gonna strangle someone, you start in your own family. That's what we that's what I was raised to believe. That's Yo, it's Carrie: S strangulation starts at home. Todd: the title. Carrie just came up with the title for this episode. What do you think, Carrie? Yo, it's Carrie: No Lord no. Okay. Whoa, that's the realest I've ever seen her. It's the realest Yeah, actually, hunt Todd: Yeah. She's kinda charming. I feel I think she's kinda charming. Yo, it's Carrie: 100%. That is the realest Yeah, that's the realest I've ever seen her. I that's that's the first time I've ever agreed with her. it started out a little it started out a little whatever, but as soon as she started I think she just let go of that. Her bra her brain was catching up with the question, like what do I how Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: do I put into words? You know how people will do that. She was just trying to figure out how to say what she wanted to say. She did. Well yeah. Sure. No, she really did. Todd: Well, I like that she actually answered. Do you know what I mean? So many of these politicians have their canned little phrases or their cann little issues and things. And be like, Well what I'm really concerned about is health care for strangled children. That kind of thing. But no but she was real. She answered the question and I thought that's you know Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, she really did. no, that that is that's great. I like what she said about I I I wanna say it as well as she said it. I like how Todd: Whoops. Yo, it's Carrie: she said having like like her ambitions and having aspirations aren't always only in a professional context. It's like yeah, I mean life ha living a full life means it's not just about work. It's not just about not just about one thing. So I thought that was really well said. Good for her. I hope she does Todd: Yeah. What do you think? What do you think about what Clay what Clay Travis said and then he he posts this clip? Do you feel are you know what I mean? Do you th do you think do you think he's right? That she's dangerous? That's I mean essentially is what Yo, it's Carrie: yeah. yeah, I mean she is she is dangerous because there are people who she has qualities she has qualities that are attractive on the surface. And we and we Todd: Well, do you think he's right that there's a desire for normalcy in people? Like they just wanna see their their leaders be a little normal, or don't ya? Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. I think so. Yeah. I think we need to get I think we need to get away from crazy extr extremists or shocky Trump needed to be here and shake things up. We agree that he's trying to expose some things and it's it's a rocky road to take. Todd: Trump's really weird because somehow like Trump if you were just if you're looking at Trump on paper, Trump's Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: the least normal person in the world. And yet he Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: comes off like the most normal person. So much of the time he says things that are like that are that that that you feel the normal people feel and we're like, what? Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, unfiltered like unfiltered normal. I I know what you mean. That's kind of a funny way of look he is he is a bit of a paradox that way. Todd: Well, I mean he's so rich, he's been a celebrity his whole life Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: and so famous and all these things, and yet somehow he's normal. Somehow his kids are normal. Yo, it's Carrie: He and he just knows how to connect with regular people, with people like what are they on Main Street. Main Street people. He can Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: always connect with them. maybe it's because he's been in construction. Todd: Maybe. Yo, it's Carrie: And he's and he's never and he's never I mean he's always like in the suit and tie, but he's never like stayed in the office. He's always out there, like his whole career he's been out there with them. So he has a he has that gift of being able to cross that line. But is she dangerous because of that? Yes, because our v our voting population tends to pay more attention to the the shiny packaging than the policies and message underneath. Todd: Right. That's the problem with ALC is she comes off normal. She may have some Yo, it's Carrie: And that's that's Yeah. Todd: normal urges, but you get her in there and what they put around her isn't going to be any different than they put around the auto pen. And if you think that Yo, it's Carrie: her policies are not. I know. Todd: I mean she'll be a a charming, attractive version of an auto pen. That's all you're gonna I you're that's what you're gonna get. You're gonna get the same stuff. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Yeah. Well, and you can apply what I'm saying conversely to Trump, and that is that Trump is I don't I mean, I appreciate some of his quirks and his craziness or whatever, but like as a personality, I I'm I don't I don't love I don't love Trump's personality all the time. Sometimes I wish he would just shut up. But I like his policies and I'm able to look past the packaging for the policies and I so I think you can apply it both ways. Todd: Yeah. I think we'll we'll see if AOC but I you know listen, of all the parties in the world that you could ever hope to be just forty percent normal and seem like you're the most normal person in the world, it's the Democrat Party right now. Like she's she's a heterosexual Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Gotcha. This is Greta. Todd: woman. I mean and she's pretty, she's attractive, she's she can talk and she can be somewhat charming and Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yep. Yes. Todd: and and all of those things, you know Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yep. Todd: Put that running up against JD Vance. I think JD Vance is great too. Listen, I'm not JD Vance Yo, it's Carrie: She's I was gonna say she's d Yeah. Todd: is normal, great communicator. I'm just saying like that that's that's a plausible matchup in twenty twenty eight. Kinda interesting, right? Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. When you said Greta earlier a as a as a teaser, I was thinking that you were gonna you said Fetterman, I know him. When you said Greta, Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: I thought of the young girl who was like heading up the movement about climate change. Yes, yes, yes. Sorry, I d I didn't recog something like Thernberg, maybe. Greta Todd: Greta Thun Thurnberg or Thun whatever her name is, I can't Thunberg Thunderthyburg, I don't know what was. But Yo, it's Carrie: Van Sestrin. Okay, got it. Yeah. Todd: Greta Vancestran, formerly Fox News, formerly CNN, Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: she's had a long and distinguished career pretty much as a journalist, been pretty pretty much a straight shooter. So anyway, this is her and Fetterman talking about Trump speaking of. Yo, it's Carrie: Interesting. Okay. Todd: Talking about Trump. He's right. Like what, you're a sitting senator and you're not supposed to go to dinner with the president of the United States? How in the hell are you supposed to influence anything? Yo, it's Carrie: I know. They they got so petty. Todd: Okay. I wanna know how John Fetterman, stroke victim, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: started off crazy leftist, has a stroke, comes back, and is the most reasonable, one of the most reasonable voices of either party in the Senate. It's amazing. Your Greta's gonna talk too here. Yo, it's Carrie: It is a shock. I know. So interesting. Mm. Todd: What do you think, Harry? Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Well I mean it explains why before he ran for president e everyone loved the guy. Todd: he was never a racist before he ran for before he decided to be a Republican. Yo, it's Carrie: No. He wasn't an Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: evil capitalist. He was I mean, people just loved him everywhere. Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: So yeah, it's Yep. I'm glad. I'm glad they're occasionally we hear people talking about him as as a person off camera. Todd: I love Trump. I really do. I'm listening I'm not without Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: my occasional frustrations, mostly Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: with gas. I just don't just not entirely sure what we're doing. But Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, what happened? What happened? Todd: this is this is Bill Maher. You want to hear a little Bill Maher before Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. Todd: we go out? We're not we're gonna go out pretty soon, guys. What time is it? 1110. Carrie wants to be out of here in five minutes. She laid down the law with me today. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Eleven ten. Ish ish. Todd: She said, Listen, if you go past eleven fifteen, I'm getting out my exercise bands. I'm really shouldn't be stretching on camera. Yo, it's Carrie: no. Carrie's working out on camera. Todd: This is Bill Maher talking about the Democrat Party, imagine. Bill Maher, another one. Who would have thought four years ago Bill Maher is the voice of sanity with inside the Democrat Party? Yo, it's Carrie: You know. Todd: But here he is. Yo, it's Carrie: Like upside down. Todd: Stranger things. Ha ha ha Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Todd: No come on What what is that, Bill? Yo, it's Carrie: What? What is that? What is that? Todd: Mostly he's fair. Then he throws in something like that, and it's just Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, I'm like, what is that? Todd: rape. Come on. He knows Trump never raped anybody. What a stupid thing to say. That's the Senator from Illinois, I think. Yo, it's Carrie: No malarky. Ha ha ha. Todd: That didn't stop there's Byron Donalds, he's your Republican. Yo, it's Carrie: Hi Byron. Todd: That didn't stop Biden from having topless transsexuals on the lawn for Easter on the White House lawn. Yo, it's Carrie: Well, he didn't he didn't know what was going on. Todd: He's right. Ha ha Yo, it's Carrie: Well said. Todd: Pretty funny, right? I think he's I do think he's right about that. Now I I Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. And and it speaks to your like people wanting s seeking some normalcy. Just some Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: common sense and some normal. Like can we talk about some some real important issues? Todd: Well don't you think that was why Biden got elected in the first place? They presented him as, hey, you're going through COVID, you're going through all this, just good old Grandpa Joe, he'll get us back to normal. I mean that was kinda how they Well, that's kinda how they ran him. You know what I mean? Like that that was kind of the shtick. And so that was Yo, it's Carrie: Do I think that's why he got elected? No, I don't, but sure. Mhm. Yeah. Todd: that was what the boomers were like, okay, we're all locked in our houses right now. We better vote for Joe. No, I don't think Joe won at all actually. Yo, it's Carrie: I just don't think that's I just don't think that's how he got ninety some million votes. More votes than ever. Yeah. But Todd: No, that was by stuff in ballot boxes. Yeah. So but he's right about the staffers. I don't think he's as right about that on the Republican side. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: I just don't sense that. I I don't sense that the staffers are are running things and that the staffers are pulling Trump toward being crazy. I just I don't think that. I that doesn't Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: seem to me to be the case. I think Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: that you have an entire Congress, both the US House and in the US Senate full Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: of weak Republicans who won't lead, who won't vote, who won't do anything. But I don't think it's Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Todd: necessarily I don't think it's because of their young staffers. I just think they're just they don't want to do anything. They're scared to death. So Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and they just sit there and they they just that that's what it is. I I I Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: don't know. I and they may lose the midterms for it. Although Yo, it's Carrie: I hope not. Todd: they may lose it For gas and for everything else. I don't know either. I it's it's shocking to me that I ex keep expecting Trump to come up with some kind of a resolution to this Iran thing soon. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Like I thought he might have already. And until Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Right. I mean Todd: he does, I don't know. I really don't. But I just it's such a that gas sticker price. is something you deal with every day in your face. You drive down the road and you see it. You get in and you fill up your car and you're like, My God, why does it cost me Yo, it's Carrie: And you see it multiple times. You see it multiple times. Todd: eighty dollars to fill up my car? You know what I mean? Like Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: So yeah, I just think it's so constantly reinforcing. And then it hits everything. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Do you have up there, do you have flashing signs that are changing like depending on not just depending on diesel or regular or premium, but like depending on how you're gonna pay? Todd: I don't see that much. On occasion Yo, it's Carrie: So Todd: I'll see something that'll say if you pay with cash, they'll give you like three percent off or something. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Yeah. I I pulled into I pulled into a kangaroo. Do you have kangaroo up there? Used to be Circle K. Todd: No well I yes, we do, but not close to here, but like Kalmazun stuff they do. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. So I pulled into one of them one of those pumps because it said three sixteen on the marquee. That was cash. And I was like, Todd: And that was the cash. Yo, it's Carrie: wait a second. I looked across the street and it was three seventeen, like regular, and I dro literally three seventeen across the street. I went across the street. No Todd: S so how much did you pay? so it was only a dollar difference? what were they gonna charge you different at that gas station? Yo, it's Carrie: One cent. I'm trying to remember what it was. I d I just was I was just annoyed that they had this Todd: No, I get that. Yo, it's Carrie: flicking so I was like, come on, I've gotta read the fine print to like find my gas price and and I Todd: I would be with you. A hundred percent I would be. Yo, it's Carrie: was annoyed and so I I was petty and drove across the street and I paid three Todd: I don't blame you, I would too. Yo, it's Carrie: seventeen for regular. I'm trying to remember what the difference was. I feel like it was I feel like it was like twenty five cents or something different or may Todd: it's significant then. Yo, it's Carrie: maybe it was maybe it was Todd: I don't know. I don't see Yo, it's Carrie: Maybe it was less than that, I don't remember. Todd: much of that up here. Once like I say, if I see it it's like on a little sign by the pump. I don't I don't know if they don't let advertise different. I don't know, but I don't see a lot of Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: that. Yo, it's Carrie: You have to you have to sit and stare at the sign for a while and watch all of the prices disp cycle through the display to know what you're gonna pay. Yeah. I agree. But I was fortunate Todd: No, I that's ridiculous. So Yo, it's Carrie: to fill up before it jumped up to over four dollars. Yeah, it went up a whole dollar here. Oof. Okay. Todd: Listen, let's end with let's let's end with Michelle Obama. Why not? Lake Michelle Obama. It's a short little clip with Jon Stewart. And this is just it's it's so classic, Michelle Obama. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Is this recent? Is this recent? okay. Todd: I think I don't know if if if he has everybody has a podcast, from what I'm told. I don't know if he has a podcast. But I because I I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Woo! Thank you for joining Tazworld. Todd: I don't think this is on Michelle's. Yeah, Todd's World.net, by the way, guys. All the books are there. Buy some books, some merch, support the podcast Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: if you love it. The big the the really big thing we'd ask you is listen, we put out clips, send them to people, send Yo, it's Carrie: Uh-huh. Todd: it send the show, say, hey, wildly entertaining, wildly opinionated, but a good time. Today I feel like we were a little Like laid back. Like we're coming off. I had a big wedding last night and a cold and so Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: we weren't quite as outrageous as we normally are. You know what I thought about doing, Carrie? I thought would be great is just doing a like a whole like two minute clip Yo, it's Carrie: Well what? Todd: of just the most outrageous things that we say on this show. Like, just back to back to back to back to back to back. Would that be great? Yo, it's Carrie: Gosh, no I have a feeling those would be all clips of you which is fine which is fine. Do I? shoot. Todd: Once in a while you'd be surprised, you come up with some things. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: I don't consider myself outrageous in this in this team right here. No. Todd: You don't think you're outrageous at all. Okay, let's listen to Michelle and and let me tell you this is just it's so Michelle. Yeah, this is John Stewart Yo, it's Carrie: this does look recent. This looks recent. Todd: Michelle. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. I saw this Todd: She wants she's got exercise bands. She's stretching right now, guys. Yo, it's Carrie: I saw this! my gosh, I forgot about this. Todd: Hold on. Ha ha ha. It's like you just escaped the exercise bands. Shit. People thought this woman could run for president. I am telling you, this is how she's always been. All they did was keep her under wraps. As soon as you let Michelle Obama talk, this is the same thing she was in twenty tw in two thousand eight. This is Michelle Obama. She's the most selfish person in the world. I'm telling you! What do you think, Gary? Yo, it's Carrie: Well, I think that it's a blessing to have all that time with your children and most fat I I love John Stewart. He's so like real for this. He's so like leaning in and man, don't you just miss them or whatever and she's like, Nah. I don't miss him. Like what? Wow. Todd: Brock does. Yo, it's Carrie: That's wild. That is wild. I mean I I Todd: That's her I mean at any given opportunity, that's the kind of response you're gonna get from her. Like Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: I'll give her this, she doesn't try to hide it. You know what I mean? Like she's her. Like she's out there. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Yep. But I mean, don't you love like, don't you love it when your kids pop over and you all have dinner and Todd: Yes. I know what Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. I mean Todd: John Stewart's talking about a little bit when he talks Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: about the job because my two youngest daughters, my daughter Kate and my stepdaughter Allie, both graduated this year from high school. And Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: so this is the first year that we haven't had any involvement like with Yellow High School, you know, AHS and the Falcons and football games and any of the stuff. There's just n you know, Yo, it's Carrie: School. The school stuff. Mm-hmm. Right. Todd: we we don't have any of that. And so that's a little different, and I can understand how people would miss that. Some. I I Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: don't have it as much because I do see my kids a lot. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: And Lauren, of course, is a singer-songwriter. Lauren Allen, by the way, is it's it's L-A-U-R-Y-N. Lauren Allen Music. Find her on Instagram. She's got a new album coming out, so C D that she's been waiting Yo, it's Carrie: man. Todd: on, trying to get out. They were putting down the final edits on the track, so listen to her. But anyway, she's got gigs like she's Yo, it's Carrie: The music is so good. So good. Todd: got two today and so I s I I do have a lot of things like that. But I do and Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: there's always stuff to do. And then you can probably testify to the fact that then you get grandkids and you kinda get to start all over even if it's less hands on, maybe a little. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. It's just a whole it's it is less hands on, but it's also just a whole different it's just a whole different phase. But it's beautiful. It's so wonderful and it's like do I like, you know, the me time? Sure, but I wouldn't be like, bye you know, it Todd: Bye. Yo, it's Carrie: I mean no, it's like you your baby's leaving, it's like it's like part of you being torn off, you know? Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, so I related to I related to the guys there more than Todd: More than Big Mike? Yo, it's Carrie: Mm, Michelle. Well I was gonna say I wonder if the people who believe that she didn't actually give birth to those girls, I wonder if they think that that's why she feels that way. Todd: I don't know. I I we don't have any I don't think legitimate photos of Michelle Obama pregnant. I don't know what that Yo, it's Carrie: No. Todd: means. I don't know what that means. Maybe nothing. Maybe she didn't like the look of herself pregnant. Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know. It's interesting. There there are I was gonna say, no, there are people who believe that she didn't actually birth them. She raised them, but anyway, Todd: Yes. Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: it's just it makes me I I couldn't help but think that though when I saw that, 'cause I th I was like, There's a bonding that happens. I don't know. Anyway. That's wild. Todd: Michelle Obama. Big Mike. Yo, it's Carrie: Is that her show on the mug I saw I Todd: I Yo, it's Carrie: I O And people will say that Todd: I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: means in my opinion and I wonder if this show is called In Michelle's Opinion, maybe? I'm s I'm totally speculating. I don't know. Anyway. I actually Todd: I I I you could be, I've no idea. if I were you guys I would never listen to it except to laugh at it in clips. Yo, it's Carrie: I actually have no desire to confirm or l to look that up. Anyway. Todd: All right guys, listen, join us tomorrow for Beers of Jesus. We just walk through the stories of the Bible a little different than this show. But I think they fit together really well. Although I have had people like Pastor Darrell tell me, You could never do Beers of Jesus, say it wildly beating him. Nobody's ever gonna take you seriously. Maybe Yo, it's Carrie: Ha ha Todd: not. Maybe not. That's okay. I enjoy it anyway. That's right, we can do whatever we want. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. We're unique, so peak authenticity Todd: Peak authenticity. You know how worthless AI is? I'm trying to come up with I told you I want to do a shirt with peak authenticity. So I Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: plug it in and I'm like trying to get AI to generate some image. It's horrible. It's horrible. my god. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Is it bad? Yeah, it's bad. Todd: Without some form of direction, it's the worst creative device. Like I can't imagine how people can think, we we don't need real songwriters anymore. It's horrible. Yo, it's Carrie: It's so bad. You know where else it's bad? It's really bad on the dating apps. Now Todd: I bet. Yo, it's Carrie: I haven't been on the dating apps for a few weeks now, but they the the suggestions that they would make are just so ridiculous. Todd: really? Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, like the the little AI assistant would say, You and so and so should, you know, meet up meet up for what you know, you guys should meet and I'm and I literally replied to it, I'm like, he lives a hundred and ten miles away. And it said, maybe you could meet for a picnic. And I was like Yeah, I'm gonna go meet a stranger who lives Todd: I didn't know. Yo, it's Carrie: a hundred and ten miles away. That Todd: I'm not on dating apps these days, of course. I don't know they've ever been on dating apps like they are now probably. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, we don't we don't need to worry about AI because they can't even suggest someone who lives like Todd: I didn't realize they had like AI on now that you can like talk to about people. That's wild. Yo, it's Carrie: you can't you can't really. It's ridiculous. When I would complain Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: about something and be like, I'm sorry about that. Would you like me to suggest someone else? I'm like, no. Please don't. What? Yes, yes. Todd: You know what is great though? Like that I told you I had that TikTok that that little picture I put up that still and that got like seventeen thousand views. Well throughout the as it was going throughout the day and I was watching the peaks and stuff, I would take a a screenshot of like the the stats or whatever, you know, whatever you want to call it. And I'd send and I'd put it loaded up to Grok and it would give me its opinion. And it was like, yeah, it looks not viral, but it might keep going, it might do the you know what I mean, whatever. Reply to these comments, that kind of thing. Pretty good at that kind of stuff. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. cool. Todd: But then what I thought was great is it was later and I sent it and they were like, it's done what it'll do. Just get off your phone and start creating. And I loved it. I was like, that might be the best thing I've ever heard from AI. Yo, it's Carrie: That's great. I love that. It's good advice. That's our advice for the day. Mm-mm. Yes. Todd: It was kind of fun. Listen, guys, the other good advice is tune in tomorrow for Beers with Jesus and save the show. Subscribe if you haven't. Give us some comments. Some love. We want to hear what you had to say, what thought. So Carrie, Yo, it's Carrie: Cool. Todd: thank you for joining me today. It was fabulous to be back.
