Todd: I think I think Mitch is fine. No one's heard anything from except Scott Jennings, who Scott Jennings, to be fair, has has has he's he's gotten a lot of street cred with Republicans, you know. Anyway, he is from Kentucky, worked Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: for Mitch McConnell since he was like a teenager, so I he's somewhat Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: close friends with Mitch McConnell. He said at one point, and this was a few weeks ago, Hey, I had a twenty minute conversation with Senator McConnell, he's doing great. And then they released that picture with Abraham Lincoln. And that's all we're to say. I mean, as now listen, I have no reason to doubt Scott Jennings, but nobody else has heard anything out of Mitch. Now, why would that be? Because the I think that they want to keep it under wraps because they are very concerned they don't want to pass the Save Act in the Senate. Welcome everyone to the wildly opinionated news hour, Todd's World. I'm Todd and Carrie is with me and we're back after a long hiatus, two or three weeks anyway. Probably three weeks. Yo, it's Carrie: I know. Everyone thought we everyone thought we ghosted them, Tad. Todd: I know. We had a series of things happen. We were gonna put Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: out one more beers with Jesus, and then Carrie was going on a vacation, and then I had people Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: show up randomly at my house, my sister and brother in law, and they showed up with drinks in hand, ready to go, right when Carrie and I were gonna do the podcast. So when Yo, it's Carrie: I forgot about that. It didn't happen. Todd: you have the options between drinks and podcast, you go with drinks on the patio. Yo, it's Carrie: Well especially especially for family. Family's important. Our fans understand. Todd: So so we we're back at it now. We are remember guys we're doing biweekly wildly opinion and news hours. So we'll have one this week, take next week off, and we're doing Beers of Jesus every week. And this week's Beers of Jesus, we're back to Noah. This is the final Noah week. I'm excited. So I was Yo, it's Carrie: I know. I am too. Todd: excited to do it, but then people showed up with drinks. I don't know what you want me to do. Yo, it's Carrie: They were just random people as a family. Todd: I'm not that responsible of a person. So How you Ben and then Carrie's been on vacation. So we just you know what I I had a a vague idea that I was gonna pull some other people in and do some shows and I just didn't get around to it. I thought, you know, half the time we take most of July off anyway, it probably should be a tradition. So there isn't even Yo, it's Carrie: I think so. It works. Todd: that much going on. Have you felt like we'd missed that much? Yo, it's Carrie: No, I feel like we were just living like the Midwest news, the the Canadian news w in the smoke up there. And and Todd: Yeah, we're we're I'm in Michigan, Carrie's in Florida, but she was up in Michigan for a week and got to Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: experience the beautiful Canadian wildfire smoke. Which Yo, it's Carrie: Right. And the and the dangerous produce. Like that was really the news of the of the da I know. I was calling Todd: The cyc what was that? Cyclo I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: it cyto cytoplastic parasite. It's not. That's totally wrong. Todd: they they pinned it on at some point I heard it was Taco Bell, but I'm not even sure that was reliable. Yo, it's Carrie: What? Todd: And then Taco Bells, it was all about lettuce. And Taco Bell's Yo, it's Carrie: Lettuce, yeah. Diarrhea lettuce. Todd: Taco Bell's sales dropped twenty percent. Yo, it's Carrie: no. Todd: Like it's like and and I mean this this has to be across the board on lettuce because ever since this has been going on, you know, my lovely wife Nikki hasn't been buying any legit well it's on the list. We can't buy lettuce. Next thing you Yo, it's Carrie: wow. Todd: know, they're getting lettuce off of their frickin' subs and everything else, and you think it's a lettuce apocalypse. What is going on? Leafy green vegetables. Who knew they could be such a problem? Yo, it's Carrie: I know. Wasn't it wasn't it other stuff too? I don't know. Blueberries or something? Todd: Maybe. Well I I don't know if they what they cleared and what they didn't, to be honest. Yo, it's Carrie: All I know is I wash I wash my lettuce like crazy. I mean there's literal Todd: Do you? Yo, it's Carrie: well, there's literal dirt on the lettuce when I buy it. And I buy packaged Todd: I don't watch it at all. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. I wa there's dirt on the lettuce. Todd: My lettuce doesn't seem like it has dirt on. Maybe Nikki Yo, it's Carrie: Like when you cut off the bottom, like in the bottom. Todd: washes it before I ever get a hold of it. I don't know. I just don't usually Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know. Obviously now she's like, I'm not even buying that shit. Todd: Nobody's taking a chance. I think one doubt of like horrible explosive diarrhea like for a few days, that'd be enough. I wouldn't want that. Yo, it's Carrie: That would be enough. Is that basically it? And then you're rid of it, or do you have to take some iverbectin antiparasite? Todd: I don't even know. I d I yeah, well you gotta have some horse paste in ya. That's probably why I didn't get it. I've probably eaten tainted Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: leafy green vegetables, but I'm on horse paste. Well not all the time, but enough. Yo, it's Carrie: True. Enough. Todd: Between that and my other herbs, everything is Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: wonderful. Yo, it's Carrie: I heard a funny term yesterday. Have Todd: What? Yo, it's Carrie: you ever heard of California Sober? Todd: I think I have. That's where people quit drinking but they smoke weed. Is that right? Yeah, I have heard that. Yeah. I I actually Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. I've never heard that before. I thought that was pretty funny. I'm like that's Todd: know I know a fair amount of people that like think of themselves. Like they got sober, but they smoke weed, because who cares about weed? Yo, it's Carrie: Ha ha ha! Todd: Weed's not ruining their life like alcohol was. They're not waking up on the train tracks from weed. You know what I mean? That's that So Yo, it's Carrie: That's yeah, that's true. That is true. Or waking up, yeah, in the toilet from bad vodka. Todd: Yeah, man. I so I don't you know, whatever. People do what they want, but I I can see how that could work for people, Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Mm-hmm. Todd: you know. Yo, it's Carrie: Thought that was just a funny term. I had never heard that. Todd: You'd never heard that. Because you're in Florida. Yo, it's Carrie: I yeah. I was like, I don't know what Florida Sober would be. Florida Sober is probably it's it's Florida Todd: Yeah, what is Florida Silver? Yo, it's Carrie: sober would be they someone would make like a major drug joke joke, like, you know, meth or something, yeah. 'Cause that's that's Todd: really? Florida man. Yo, it's Carrie: what people think, yeah. Todd: Florida man. I was gonna look here. You know what happened while we were gone? Yo, it's Carrie: Tell me. Todd: Lindsey Grahamnesty died. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Former Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: long a long time Republican senator, somewhere thirties plus years. You know Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Right. Todd: how Republican senators do. And he was Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. So rather suddenly, yes. Todd: yeah, very suddenly. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: As such things sometimes happen, Lindsey Gramnesty was called home. Instantly, it appears. Some kind of a of a heart thing, I think. I I d but I don't think it was I'm not sure Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Mm-hmm. Todd: it was a heart attack. It was like an aorta something. I Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: I don't know. I was listening to Kada Katanji Brown talk. I I you know, Katanji Jackson. So I I I d she's not a biologist, so my my my my information Yo, it's Carrie: Right. She's not a cardiologist. Todd: is a little limited. Yo, it's Carrie: She says, I'm not a cardiologist. I can't really speak to the cause of death. Well Todd: So Lindsey Graham died, Mitch McConnell died. Well, we don't know that for sure, but by all it appears that Mitch McConnell is gone. Yo, it's Carrie: R. I. P. All right. Rest in peace, Lindsay Graham. Yeah, what's going on with Mitch McConnell? Todd: They wa his proof of life was a was a photo. Did you see the photo that went around? god, I need to find it. Let's see if I Yo, it's Carrie: No, I have not Okay, wait. Okay. Todd: can find the Mitch McConnell photo. I just Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. All right, you're gonna try to show it? Todd: thought everybody saw it. Then there's so many Yo, it's Carrie: I have not. in fact, I had heard well, I had heard that he'd Todd: memes of the photo, I don't know if I can find the real one. Yo, it's Carrie: I had heard that he died and then I heard Todd: Like this one. This is a good one. Hold on. Yo, it's Carrie: Did Jill Biden approve this photo? Todd: This is proof of life for Mitch. Are you Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: ready, guys? No, we're gonna we're gonna pull this up. Yo, it's Carrie: Let me see. Todd: Mitch is with his wife, who just got back from China, making sure all their interests are in then George Washington, John Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Todd: F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Abraham Lincoln, and they're all like giving the thumbs up in the hospital. So Yo, it's Carrie: I love I love the thumbs up from Abe Lincoln. That's beautiful. Todd: I think I think Mitch is fine. No one's heard anything from except Scott Jennings, who Scott Jennings, to be fair, has has has he's he's gotten a lot of street cred with Republicans, you know. And he Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Scott Jennings though to be the let me give you the the history. You know who Scott Jennings is. CNN guy. CNN Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. I know the name, yeah. He's Todd: guy who's he's owning the left all the time. You know who he Yo, it's Carrie: yes, then I know him. Yep. Todd: is. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Square shouldered in the suit. Yeah. Competent. Yep. Todd: Well, he also Yeah. And he doesn't he doesn't yell, but he just take he's slowly Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: but methodically takes him down and you know. Anyway, he is from Kentucky, worked Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: for Mitch McConnell since he was like a teenager, so I he's somewhat Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: close friends with Mitch McConnell. He said at one point, and this was a few weeks ago, Hey, I had a twenty minute conversation with Senator McConnell, he's doing great. And then they released that picture with Abraham Lincoln. And that's all we're to say. I mean, as now listen, I have no reason to doubt Scott Jennings, but nobody else has heard anything out of Mitch. Now, why would that be? Because the I think that they want to keep it under wraps because they are very concerned they don't want to pass the Save Act in the Senate. You saw the president did you listen to President Trump's speech he came out and did about election problems. Yo, it's Carrie: I was on I was on the road when that happened and I so I have not heard his speech. Todd: You heard the high points or no? I don't even know if I've got Yo, it's Carrie: I have not. I have not. Todd: well he he was basically saying that he was going through and and saying that the Chinese have hacked I think it was 220 million voter roll like like voter information rolls something Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: like that. Let's see here. I what I've I don't have Trump's Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, clean. Todd: speech. What I have is like this. You know that a lot of the me most of the mainstream media refused to air Trump's primetime speech about election integrity. Yo, it's Carrie: I did hear that, which I thought was crazy. Todd: So I have Yo, it's Carrie: With that. Todd: John King, CNN's John King. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And this is this is right before they were gonna air the or or or Yo, it's Carrie: T Todd: why him giving his reason on why they didn't air the president's remarks on on election integrity. So here's Yo, it's Carrie: He commented on it? Todd: yeah, here's John King from CNN telling Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: us how danger it is dangerous it is to air a sitting president's address to the nation. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Okay. Todd: Too dangerous. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. yeah, they want to contextualize for sure. Todd: Don't you worry, if there's news, CNN will get it right out to you in a few days. Like, like, we can't trust the Yo, it's Carrie: After they contextualize it. After they Todd: president. The president was elected by the majority of the people, but the majority of the people are too stupid. Well, that's probably Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: that's probably the proof to CNN that the majority of the people are so stupid, is that they actually elected this guy. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Yeah. Todd: We're not gonna show his we're not gonna let the president speak to the American people. It's insane. Not without us Yo, it's Carrie: I agree. Todd: going through and making sure everything's right. We gotta we gotta look at every we gotta make sure everything's good. We don't know if everything's good, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: it might not be. I mean, just the the sheer arrogance of Yo, it's Carrie: Think that's wild. Yeah. I think that's so wild. I'm surprised, I'm surprised people aren't aren't just outraged by that. I hate to use the word outraged, but it's like shocked maybe. I don't know. Don't you think that's Todd: Well that we saw what they did during COVID. How could it get any worse? You know what I mean? I I really think that. Like how could Yo, it's Carrie: Well Todd: they Yo, it's Carrie: well it's funny. I think it all that does is really is validate Trump's practice of tweeting and speaking live when he can to the American people unfiltered because because all they do is chop it up and Todd: Yeah. Well Reagan did it by going over the Reagan went over the media's head. He would have he would have these addresses and the media at the time would carry the addresses and he would just speak right to the American people and that's how that's Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: what how he did it. But they learned from that and they thought we're not letting anybody do that again. But the media, Elon Musk by an axe, all these things has has kind of taken apart the censorship industry. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: And it's no they're still trying. Clearly. They told you. Yo, it's Carrie: Clearly. Todd: CNN, they they told you we need to censor whatever this crazy orange lunatic in the White House says before it gets to you, and we'll let you know if there's anything important here. Trust Yo, it's Carrie: No, isn't that That's so cra Just Todd: us. Yo, it's Carrie: at its foundation, I think that's just the craziest thing for a news network to say. Todd: But that's exactly what he was saying. I mean, it was like, yeah, just just trust us. No big deal. Nothing here. Yo, it's Carrie: I love that they use the word contextualize. I'm just gonna I'm gonna laugh about that all day. Todd: Now one of the things let me see if I can find a good one of the things that that Trump said here Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: I've got these media people just just going on and on about how none of this none of this could happen. Let's listen to a this is on who is this? This is CBS. And this is they they're rebuking, you know, Trump's election integrity. ideas because Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: it's a ridiculous. How could any of this be the case, right? Let's hear Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: what he has to say. I just want everyone to know that we're right back to twenty twenty talking points. I mean, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: this is this is twenty twenty regurgitated exactly. So Yo, it's Carrie: It is it is Todd: everything's fine. So okay, here's what he said. Even Tom Cruise couldn't get that. In in Mission Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: Impossible, he couldn't hack a voting machine. Yo, it's Carrie: Well, yeah. But can you pause? Todd: But even that would work. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: They they don't they don't need they don't need to float down like Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible because they have people working in the in the voter boot you know, in the voter locations who are handling it. Todd: One of the things Trump talked about in the speech is he talked about how there was a I I don't know if you remember this, and and I don't so long ago, who knows? But they busted a a Muskeg I think this might have been during the 2024 election, but it could have been Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: 2020, I don't remember. But Muskegon, Michigan, which that's I live in western Michigan, so Muskegon's only Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, it's not far. Todd: twenty-five minutes from me. Muskeg we do a lot of work in Muskegon. So Muskegon, Michigan, they cracked a voting fraud ring. And it was so disturbing to the state police. And even to, and you have to understand, we have the most worthless lesbian attorney general in this state you could ever imagine, Dana Nessel. Even she referred it to the FBI. But Biden's Yo, it's Carrie: Really? Todd: FBI slow walked it and just kind of didn't do anything with this investigation. And Trump specifically called on the FBI To do whatever they could to reopen that investigation into Ms. Because it it we're talking tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes that were in this little Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Todd: this little factory or whatever, little warehouse they were putting things out of. So that Trump called on them to do. And I would just like to point out, because this would probably, I'm sure, not be national news. I don't know if I'd have heard it if my wife hadn't told me, but two days ago Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: I was working and my and Nikki text me and said, Did you see that the feds raided Muskegon Heights, City Hall, and six or seven other locations around Muskegon Heights? And I said, No, I didn't. But that sounds like progress. So I was happy about that. But we Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, it does. It sounds like progress. Wow. Todd: know that these voting machines, that there's all kinds of problems. We went through all of this. They act like they're impenetrable. Like what was that Star Wars? Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Well and he's talking about the hard copies Todd: Thing the Death Star These things, man, it wouldn't matter what you did. Superman himself couldn't get into a voting machine. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. But he talks about the hard copies underneath and I'm sorry when they look and find, you know, a thousand of them that are photocopied and exactly the same and nothing happens, like Yeah. Todd: Unfolded, unfolded mail in b ballots. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: It it's just the the problems with our election are are manifest. I think Trump's primary purpose. See, there's a question of why go to all this trouble to call Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: this out to to to to to have this big prime time address if your DO your own DOJ isn't gonna do anything about it. That's now maybe they are. Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. That's the million dollar question. It's the future of America question. Todd: I think that Trump's primary purpose in it was trying to strong arm the Senate into passing the SAVE Act Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: is what I think was going on. Anyway, we don't we don't have to go through these guys. We know what Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: they were doing. They're just they're stupid. They got they gotta tell us how even Tom Cruise, even Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Predator could not get a mail in ballot past these voting machines. Okay. Alrighty. John Solomon, our good buddy, he is actually on a the the president maybe six or seven weeks ago put him on a a task force that and so what he's doing is he's helping he's working in Washington, helping the FBI and the intelligence agencies declassify more more quickly, if that makes sense. What he thinks is though is Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Okay. A around what? Around election? Okay. Why is there so much classified Todd: Around election integrity and specifically I think is is what they're working on. Yo, it's Carrie: information around it? Todd: Well, because it's just y you can't even you you can't even even we don't know what these voting machine what goes on inside these electronic voting machines. Yo, it's Carrie: Even Tom Cruise doesn't know. Todd: It's just it's like Pandora's box. It's a complete mystery to us. Yo, it's Carrie: But just trust CNN. Todd: trust CNN. Here's John Solomon. And what he's saying is this is just the beginning. So he's gonna he's gonna throw out a few things that that that that the president talked about. What the president talked about was that China has hacked about two hundred million American voter files. And the media proceeded to say that was fine. There's nothing they could do with it. anybody can get this information. No big deal. Yo, it's Carrie: And w and w yeah, what does that mean? Their voter files? That what like the a record of their voting? Todd: Well, they hacked all of the information they would need in order to apply for an absentee ballot for those people. And then what happened Yo, it's Carrie: Thank you. Okay. Todd: is in 2020, if you remember, I think probably in 2024 too, is people would go in to vote and they'd be like, Somebody already voted for you. Yo, it's Carrie: You already voted, yeah. Todd: And they'd hand them a provisional ballot. But what happens, you don't have any time, nothing ever happens. So they've effectively they can cause a lot of problems with the information that they have. I kept Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Wow. Todd: thinking the whole time. Well, Mr President, isn't this an act of war? Like that's what I thought. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Like what are we what are we doing? I don't know. I did see as an aside Yo, it's Carrie: But it was no big deal. No big deal. Todd: that China's oil imports Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: China doesn't have much of its own oil, if any at all. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: So China's oil imports since the beginning of the Iran war have gone down forty four percent. Quite possible that in the end we'll it's quite possible that ten, fifteen years from now we'll look back and say, this wasn't a war about Iran. This was a war about China. No wonder. You know what I mean? Trump's using Yo, it's Carrie: interesting. Sure. Todd: a lot of different levers to weaken China, and China's Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: a lot more dependent on imported energy than we are. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: So here's John Solomon. Let's hear what he has to say. They're all involved. Because they're up to their necks in it. What do you think, Kerry? Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Wow. So Trump talked about this in the speech in the address. Todd: He did. He g he laid out multiple instances where we don't we it's we have no idea at this point. Now what I'm Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: hoping I I do think that he was using that to strong arm the Senate into the Save Act. Because the Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Senate that that's what was bringing us full circle to this is is the Decain body of Mitch McConnell somewhere in the Kentucky hinterlands, the Kentucky Hills. The reason Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: that they cannot let Mitch McConnell be buried and put to rest is because then you would have possibly an interim senator. I it it's before I think it's sometime in August. Yo, it's Carrie: In August, yeah. Todd: You would have an interim senator. If that Senator comes in, depending on who was appointed, there is a Democrat governor in Kentucky, but Kentucky also the legislature also passed that that in order to to appoint a new senator Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: It has to be a senator from the same party and the that party can give the senator can give the governor like three or four names and he can pick it's it's very odd. And this Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: this particular law is new and it's never been tested. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. And it's I was gonna say it's laid out in such a way that it seems like it's bipartisan in nature, like Todd: Yeah. It's trying it's trying to w to not have a Democrat governor in Kentucky who can overrule the will of the people who put a Republican senator in. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. It's kinda like it's kinda like the two kids in a cookie. Like one of you gets to cut it in half, but the other one gets to pick the half that Todd: Yes, that a look at you, Carrie. That's a perfect analogy. Fresh off vacation. With the cookie analogy. Yo, it's Carrie: That's what it reminded me of when you're describing. I'm like, okay, they're just trying to give a little bit of power to both sides, but Todd: Yes. But but the concern Yo, it's Carrie: mm-hmm. Todd: among the deep state is that if there was a Republican, if somehow through this maze some Republican Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: senator who worked with Trump who was sensitive Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: to wanting to work with the people and and you know, sensitive Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: to the will of the people, that the Save Act would then have enough votes to pass. And that my f my people Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: out there, that's the last thing the United States Senate wants. The last thing they want is anything That resembles accountability to you. What they want to do is obfuscate an entire election. Yo, it's Carrie: Is it lead is it leaning that far towards not passing? I mean, is it I just don't Todd: Well, no, it's leaning close enough that Mitch McConnell's cold, dead, decaying body stuffed with Chinese money, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: cannot be allowed to be put to rest. He we can't laud Senator Mitch McConnell like we should be able to for all his years of service. Yo, it's Carrie: Someone someone needs someone needs to demand to see him. They need to demand that he be his his whereabouts need to be revealed. I I'm just perplexed. I can't believe this isn't all over I know I haven't really been looking at a lot of news online, but I can't believe this isn't just all over the place with Yeah. Todd: Well, it's summer too. And you know they've they they're so they're they're off and then they came back for a minute and and so you know, people just check out a little bit. I mean, I did some. You know, I I didn't Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, sure. Todd: pay it's not even that I didn't pay as much. There wasn't quite as much going on. We're we're going back and Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: forth with Iran. We're back to bombing Iran again. I Yo, it's Carrie: No, what's that about? Todd: I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Looking here. I I don't get I don't get like where he is and why aren't people freaking out. Todd: because no one's No one cares. Think about it. Do you care about your US Senator? Who's a US senator in Florida? I don't even know. Is Rick Scott one? Or is he retired? Yo, it's Carrie: he wa he was he's not no, I don't think he is anymore. I'm I'm blanking. I'm blanking Todd: Anyway. See we don't even know what our senators are. What do you mean? How do we know if they're living or dead? We have no idea. I thought Mitch McConnell Yo, it's Carrie: What? Todd: had been dead for three years and they just kinda hauled him in like a ventriloquist. Yo, it's Carrie: There's an X account called Is Mitch McConnell dead yet? Todd: I believe it. It's probably over and under bedding and everything. Yo, it's Carrie: And and I'm sorry, and it was created in like October twenty twenty two. So that's how long I mean, is Jill Biden like is he at Jill Biden's spa for the Todd: She's her she's his his acting doctor, I think. Except it doesn't seem to be working. At least Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, reanimation specialty specialist. Right? Todd: with at least with old Joe, they'd prop him up every once in a while and he'd say something about ice cream. But Mitch Yo, it's Carrie: Right? I know, I mean she's Todd: Mitch is just radio silent out there. Yo, it's Carrie: This is like Jill's challenge of her lifetime. Todd: Lindsey Graham went down and Mitch succumbed to the sorrow. They were Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Todd: they were such close friends. Here is Bill Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Maher. Yo, it's Carrie: How's Bill doing? Is he still converting Todd: Good. Bill Yo, it's Carrie: slowly? Todd: He he is. He actually said that he'd be willing to vote for Vance if the left is gonna just continue to be insane. Marxist, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm mm. Awesome. Todd: socialist, that's kind of what he's concerned about. Imagine. Little things. Little Yo, it's Carrie: Right, which is good. He's like keeping his wits about him. Todd: things like communism. Yo, it's Carrie: no. Is he gonna talk about Billy Eilish? Todd: Well no, this i he's gonna talk about just this is a minute clip talking about Western civilization and Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: how the kids don't understand. But to be fair, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: the kids haven't been taught. So Yo, it's Carrie: True. Yeah. Todd: So That's true. Yo, it's Carrie: It's so true. I love that. Yeah, the West, I mean, we're yeah. We're we're Todd: I don't know if there's any quick fixes. Yo, it's Carrie: about freedom. We're about like you said, rule of law and freedom. That's really what it is. Wow. Good for him. Todd: Yeah. Did you hear also there was in New Jersey, let me find that that story quick. I can't remember the yeah. the Democrat governor Mickey Sherrill Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: is New Jersey's chick governor, whoops. And it was announced soon right after, within a day after Trump's election integrity speech. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: His prime time speech that none of the prime time none none of the networks wanted to carry, even though they mooch off Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: the public airwaves and pay nothing for it. which Trump mentioned during his speech. So I love Trump. Mickey Sherrill, New Jersey Democrat governor, announced that a software error registered roughly six thousand six hundred non citizens to vote. Can you imagine? Now she Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. An an error? Todd: Mickey said Let me be clear. I wish I could do a Mickey Mouse voice. This entire situation is unacceptable. Yo, it's Carrie: Hey, that's pretty good. Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Now back to John Solomon, our buddy John Solomon. He just happened to reach out to the the software company who made those Amazing voting software that nobody can hack, nobody can do any I mean what the deep state senate wants is they want us as voters to have to be as good as Tom Cruise at hovering in order to actually cast a vote that counts. That's what they want. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: But here he is. He reached out to the software company that that New Jersey uses, and here's what he found. Now wait a minute, we're we're we were reliably told this never happens. So Yo, it's Carrie: yeah. Todd: shockingly, we're being told something happened that we're always told never happens. Just want everybody to know that. You could be Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible and you couldn't do wait a minute, this just happened. Hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Todd: Ha ha ha. Yo, it's Carrie: I hope so. Todd: I just want everyone to know that this is impossible. None of this could ever happen. We have the Yo, it's Carrie: Of course. Todd: most secure elections in the world Yo, it's Carrie: Do we have the most secure is she the governor? Is that what she said? Do we have the most secure Todd: Yeah, she's Mickey. Yo, it's Carrie: governors though, Todd? Todd: No. I I think clearly not. I Yo, it's Carrie: We do. We do in Florida. Todd: you have a great governor in Florida. You probably have the gu the best governor in the entire United States in Florida. And I really Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, you know, we're Todd: hope that he goes on to do bigger things. Yo, it's Carrie: We are I I'm gonna be sad to see him go 'cause his term's coming up. Todd: Yeah, he's term he's term limited out, right? Essentially. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Yeah. By the way, Rick Scott is one of our senators. He and Ashley Moody. Todd: Is Ashley she's a Republican too? Okay. I can't even picture her. I don't even know what she looks like. But But Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, she looks kind of familiar. Todd: I thought that Rick Scott was one. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm mm. Todd: Here let's do one last John Solomon because Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: we like John Solomon. And he's catching up on a little bit of news for us. Let's do one last John Solomon clip. And this is on go ahead, Carrie. Yo, it's Carrie: Well while you pulled this up, I was just curious about this Real America's Voice, just the news, no noise. So just the news sounds like a segment on Real America's Voice. Todd: I don't think s I think it's his show that's on Real America's Voice is like s Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: one of these online networks or something. Yo, it's Carrie: How yeah, how how is this? Do you do you feel Todd: So Yo, it's Carrie: like do you feel like it's have you watched much of it? Todd: I think John Solomon's rock solid. He's been one of the few rock solid reporters who actually goes out there and reports. I mean, that's why he's on this task force. Cause he Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Okay. Todd: knows what the gov what we need to get declassified from the government. He's he's gotten over the years so much with his freedom of of information, you know, acts and and the whole thing. So he knows Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, cool. Nice. Todd: he he knows his stuff and and on this one I can't remember what he's talking about 'cause I just lost it. But let's see what he has to say. I think He anyway, let's watch. yeah. This is about COVID. Yo, it's Carrie: okay. Todd: Remember how there was supposedly a lab leak, you know, the the the w we we know that the COVID virus was released on purpose by the deep state, but they still pretend like it wasn't. And this is this is the story of what of how the FBI stepped in to prevent the interview of the one guy who could have clarified that. So that was during Biden's term, obviously. They Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: the FBI would not allow them to interview. They were they were about to they were they were gonna take him at the at the airport and interview him. And that was not going to be possible. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Huh. So I believe that, Todd. I believe that it was leaked on purpose, but I didn't know that there was any proof of that out there. Todd: Well there's not much because they wouldn't look into it. You know what I mean? So yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. That's fair. That's fair. Todd: Did you see we have a a sen speaking of the United States Senate, we have a Senate race in Muskeg in not Muskegon in Michigan right now. And one of the the the ladies running some millennial woman named Haley Stevens, and she came out and she had a a video that Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: that leaked and instead of playing just Yo, it's Carrie: I'm trying to remember this. Todd: just the straight video, there's been a lot of montages of this video made. And this one Yo, it's Carrie: good. Some edits. Todd: happens to have Chris Farley in it. And we're gonna watch the montage Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Todd: and you're gonna get a feel for Haley Stevens. What could be our next senator from the great state of Michigan, which believe it or not, Yo, it's Carrie: From pure Michigan. Let's see it. Yeah. Todd: It it wouldn't be it it would be pretty par for the course for Michigan. So Yo, it's Carrie: What is her what is her political affiliation? Okay. Just curious. Todd: She's a Democrat. That's we haven't elected a Republican to the Senate in Michigan since nineteen ninety four. Mm-hmm. Perhaps Yo, it's Carrie: Ouch. Okay. Todd: we're not as purple as we'd like to think. Okay, here she is. This is Haley Stevens. Yeah. Ha ha ha. Yo, it's Carrie: my goodness, dear. Todd: One more on the front end with Haley Stevens. That's the Michigan way, Carrie. Did you know that? Does she sound like anybody from Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Michigan? Do you know? I don't think so. People are making fun of her accent. I'm from Michigan. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Carrie's well, Carrie grew up in Michigan. She's been a Floridian now for probably longer Yo, it's Carrie: I did. I Todd: than you were in Michigan. Yo, it's Carrie: I no, not quite. I have not passed that but Todd: Mm. Yo, it's Carrie: but I still sound like I'm from Michigan most of the time. Todd: You don't sound like her A little bit of stick it to Yo, it's Carrie: No. What yeah, what what is that? Where's she from? That's wild. That comparison is the best. Todd: A little bit of stick it to Anyway, that's that's the best the best we have Yo, it's Carrie: Wow, that's one of my family's favorite Chris Farley sketches like memories ever. We we quoted Todd: It's pretty fabulous, right? Yo, it's Carrie: him so many times in the van down by Todd: Yeah, when Yo, it's Carrie: the river. That's awesome. Todd: what do you think? Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. So she's running for Senate? Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And you know, I have to give her props. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: Because this this this clip went viral, obviously. It it went everywhere. And Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: you know, she leaned into it, which I thought was good, and Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: and is kind of going with the humor of it, and that's just the way I talk. I I I mean, Yo, it's Carrie: Good for good for her, okay. Todd: but I think politically she's doing the best she can. With a with a situation where everybody's mocking her and putting it up with Chris Farley and everything, Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: she's using it to get you know, to to get her name out and and and whatever. Obviously I don't think anybody in the world would have hardly known who Haley Stevens was had it not been for this. So even though they're mocking Yo, it's Carrie: Right. my gosh. Todd: her, it's it it does make some sense. You know what I mean? She's using it well. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: As well as she can, I think. So we'll see. I'd like to think that we could have Who's running for the Mike Rogers is a Republican, which who the hell knows? Some old guy. But Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Okay. Todd: I mean he couldn't be as bad as them. I guess is how I think about Republican senators. I think they must be a fuzz better than a Democrat, maybe on something. I don't know. At least Yo, it's Carrie: Right, maybe it's the Michigan way. Todd: when they die, we don't you know, we pretend like they haven't for a few months. Yo, it's Carrie: You have a gubernatorial race coming up also, right? Todd: Yeah, I'm excited about the the governor's race in Michigan. I I'm actually on the other side of Trump's endorsement on that, which is interesting. Yo, it's Carrie: I you know what? I don't remember the names of the people, but that but I don't think you're alone in that. Todd: John James is the is is Trump's endorsement for the Republican senator from Michigan. He's a black guy. He's run multiple times in Michigan. Yo, it's Carrie: okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Todd: He did win a house race. He's lost a a Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: Senate race and he lost a gubernatorial race. Yo, it's Carrie: A sketchy one though, to be fair. Todd: I am not a John James fan for whatever reason. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: He just doesn't seem real Rhino esque to me. The guy who Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: I am a fan of who's running is Perry Johnson. This dude Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: is wild looking. But and he reminds me a little bit of Trump. He's like a a mul you know, billionaire multiple times over from Detroit. But Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. All right. Todd: but what he what he was known for is the you remember they had standards for manufacturing that came out in like the eighties. It was like ISO nine thousand and All these different things. Anyway, if you're in the Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Mm-hmm. Todd: manufacturing then, then i i whether it was Japan, whether it's over here, but but but to to basically take all these companies and and tighten up their manufacturing, get rid of waste, all these things. Yo, it's Carrie: The standards, yeah. Todd: Yeah. He created these standards and then constantly updated them. And one of his big things is he wants to go into the state of Michigan and just do a massive audit and find all the waste and all the fraud. And I just you know, Yo, it's Carrie: nice. Todd: he looks he looks a little crazy as hell. But I'm like, dude, I am on board. Because I don't believe John James will do a damn. He'll do your typical Republican thing, which is he'll hold back the tide a little better. Like we won't get Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: quite as much leftism as we otherwise would have. But there's not going to be much pushback. That's pretty typical. That's what was different with Trump. And I think that that Perry Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Okay. Got it. Okay. You know Todd: Johnson's kind of a Trump-esque, a Trumpian figure. I kind of like him. I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: even know if I have any. I should see if I have any of his his stuff. He's got a couple of good clips. Yo, it's Carrie: think what I heard what I heard from someone that was that they liked John James, but they didn't feel that he could win. Todd: Well he hasn't I mean he's got a history of losing. That's one thing. So Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Right. So it's like interesting that Trump is backing him, but excuse me. Todd: Yeah, and then there was something came out. I I d I d I don't know. I I really don't. But that but there's been stuff coming out about John John James maybe having an affair with the Democratic representative. I don't know though. You never know about things like that in the campaign season. You know what I mean? You Yo, it's Carrie: there was a rumor. Yeah. Todd: just never know. Here's a quick little thirty second thing for Perry Johnson that I'll play. Just so people can Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Yeah, I wanna see this guy. Todd: see. This is Little inside Michigan baseball for you guys. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: and I've I've come around to the guy. Like I said, he's kind of wild looking. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Interesting. Like Martin Short. Todd: Right. Yo, it's Carrie: He looks like a Martin Short character. Todd: So that's just a quick one, but I I agree with Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: him on the data center thing. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, it's like I I like the idea Todd: I don't know. I mean Yo, it's Carrie: of of anything that's gonna impact the state in a in a big way. I think it's smart to pause and evaluate, you know. Todd: He wants to end the state income tax. That's a big thing. I think that's huge. Florida doesn't have any income tax. Every state that doesn't have income tax is doing way better than states Yo, it's Carrie: yeah. Mm-hmm. Michigan could totally do that. Todd: with income tax. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep, Michigan could totally do that. Todd: So I I like Perry Johnson. I'm I'm hopeful that and you know what Yo, it's Carrie: Interesting. Todd: else? John James just what did he just file for? You can file for some like two million dollars of public Yo, it's Carrie: Damn. Todd: public funds that get you get into your campaign, but then you Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: have to cap your spending at a certain level. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And that's been one of the criticisms of John James is that he's not a very good fundraiser and he tends to kind of flag Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: down the down toward the end of the race. And one of the Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: things that people like about Perry Johnson is it he can self fund. He's not gonna run out of money because he's got plenty of money. Like Trump did. And we can debate whether or not that's good, bad, or whatever. I don't I don't know, but I just know Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. Todd: it's the reality of of elections in the United States right now. Is that i if the Democrats come in with a hundred million Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Okay. Interesting. Todd: dollars and just beat the shit out of John James in the final four weeks leading up to it and he doesn't have enough money to respond, we're not gonna win. I mean, that's just that's There's a bunch of young skulls. There's bunch of skulls full of mush out there in Michigan. That's they're just okay. We like our accent. Or whatever. You know what I mean? So you know what else was was going on this week? Joe JD Vance went on Rogan or not this week. Might have been a a week or two ago. JD Vance went on Rogan's show. Did you Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Yeah. Todd: hear about this? Yo, it's Carrie: I heard about it, but I haven't listened yet. I'd like to hear that interview actually. Todd: this is this is a quick one. This is actually, I think, mostly Rogan talking. But Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: let's w I got a few clips of We'll see how much we Yo, it's Carrie: I wonder w how Rogan took to him. I feel like Rogan would Todd: Let's see. Yo, it's Carrie: kind of have a little bit of a wall up. Todd: All right. This is just a quick one. Yo, it's Carrie: And not love him automatically. Okay. Todd: Talking about mailing ballots in California and I think Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Mm-hmm. Todd: they were talking about the LA the Spencer Pratt election specifically. Yo, it's Carrie: yeah. Todd: Yeah. That's just common sense. Yo, it's Carrie: It's just common sense. It is. Hey Todd, can we pause for a coffee refill? Todd: Yeah, let's let's let's let's pause. Hold on here. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And we're back. Carrie got her coffee. I got my you Yo, it's Carrie: Woo. Yes. Thank you. Todd: know what I got? Some sweet tea. You know when summer hits, I drink this Yo, it's Carrie: Sweet, me. Todd: is gonna sound strange. I drink a lot less beer. I start Yo, it's Carrie: Really? Todd: drinking sweet tea. Like my my wife Nikki is from the south. She she Yeah, Yo, it's Carrie: was going say, did you get this from her? Todd: she she was born, I think, in Alabama and then she Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: grew up a lot between Alabama and North Carolina and makes The best sweet tea. I know how she makes it, I know the ingredients, and I can't make it as well. Which there's not very many things like that. And so Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: in the summer, sweet tea with lemon is just, I love it. Like you can't even imagine I love it. So Yo, it's Carrie: good. So good. Todd: I'm a little southern, a little southern in Todd's world in the summer. I go to Yo, it's Carrie: I love that. That sounds good. Todd: I don't drink as much bread, I drink a lot of sweet tea, and I smoke a little herb here and there. But you know it's in Michigan, so everything's legal up. Yo, it's Carrie: I haven't made sweet tea in forever. It sounds good though. In this heat, I might have Todd: I I I mean, Yo, it's Carrie: to do some. Todd: I drink so much of it. She makes at least a jug a day. I drink so much sweet tea. I love it. my god, I love it. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, well, I was going say that cup you have is pretty big. Love it. So funny. You're drinking tea for like Southern tea. I'm drinking Herman's Boy coffee from Rockford, Michigan. Todd: see? And I got crappy coffee. I wish I was just thinking today, this coffee I bought. I knew I was Yo, it's Carrie: you need. Todd: running low and I was in Menards 'cause you I had to get Menards is a big lumber place up here. I and it kind of a Home Depot ish place. And I I don't know if they're I don't think they're nationwide. I think they're kind of a Midwest thing. Yo, it's Carrie: They're cut, yeah, they're all round. Todd: But they have like weird sh things that Home Depot doesn't like. They have coffee and I knew I needed coffee and I bought coffee and it's the shittiest coffee from Bernard's. I'm like this is hor I wish I had Hermann's boycott. That's what I thought when I got it this morning. I thought Kelly's gonna be drinking Herman's boy. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Really? It's not like a good, decent name brand. shout out to Herman's boy. It's so good. It's the cinnamon. I made cinnamon coffee this morning. Todd: I wanted to see if there's any more JD Vance, let's see, and Joe Rogan. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. On Joe Rogan? All right. Todd: and there are there are a couple. Let's go with this one. This is kind of interesting. This is talking about because the reason the reason that JD Vance has been doing a bunch of these shows is he wrote a book. And his Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: book was called Communion. And it's it's a kind of his faith journey, I think, is the idea. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: He's kinda come back to the Catholic Church, maybe. Yo, it's Carrie: Right, he wasn't raised Catholic, but he has converted, I think. I thought. Todd: He's so he's Catholic and his wife's Hindu. Yo, it's Carrie: Correct. My mom just finished it. She was reading it while I was on vacation. Todd: What did she think? Yo, it's Carrie: It's it's really she said it was very good. Todd: She thought, man, I wish Todd had written a book I could read instead of this. Yo, it's Carrie: No, she said he's incredibly intelligent. Really like just so you can just really feel how Todd: He is intelligent. Yo, it's Carrie: intelligent he is. And there were some excerpts she read to me while we were up North and there were a couple I was like, you got to share that with Todd. I mean, he talks about CS Lewis Todd: J D is just too smart. Yo, it's Carrie: and yeah, he's a smart guy. Todd: If only he could convince his Hindu wife. That's how I feel, I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: That Jesus is her savior. Todd: Your wife's going to hell, JD. Okay. This is this is did he have a chapter in the book on that? Yo, it's Carrie: on roasting, roasting over his wife's family. Todd: Far as I can tell, Hindus are part of the Eternal Barbecue. Yo, it's Carrie: He did not talk about that to my knowledge. one other thing I should say about the book. My Todd: Didn't make it in there. Yo, it's Carrie: mom said for anyone who maybe isn't going to read the book or isn't curious enough that everyone should read the epilogue. She's like, the epilogue was outstanding. So anyway. Todd: Okay. Good. That's from from Nancy, so she'll let us know. Did you send me a chat wanting to break earlier? Is that why I got a chat? I pay no attention to the chats. Yo, it's Carrie: I sent a chat asking if we could do a coffee refill, but it's fine. Just try to do it smoothly without the fans knowing all of our... Todd: Okay, here's JD. Carrie tries to do it smoothly. I can't do it smoothly though. I can't even pay attention to the chat thing. Okay, here's J D Yo, it's Carrie: It's fine. Todd: talking about his newly rediscovered Catholic faith, I guess. Or maybe just his faith in Jesus in general. Mm. I agree. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, that's interesting. Todd: Well, I I you know, I I let that go. I wanted I felt like I should give Joe let let him make his point. What do you think, Carrie? W what they're kinda talking about is the Texas Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Yeah. Todd: he brought it up the the Texas is is gonna have some readings that they require in Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: I mean, we're talking like four Bible readings. But Yo, it's Carrie: Well, I was going to say, think maybe we can just knock out the reading concept first, because I think we talked about this before, that when you Todd: We did. Yo, it's Carrie: talk about including this in a collection of what's required reading, doesn't mean that it's it's a Bible school all day, every day. It's like, no, we're Todd: Right. No. Yo, it's Carrie: adding this. You think of like the foundation of our country and our history. It's like, this is Todd: Western civilization, what Bill Mark talked about. Yo, it's Carrie: Western civilization, yes, this is part of it and it's okay to include that. saw when I was teaching, you know, 20 plus years ago, I saw the infusion of multicultural readings. know, Sandra, Cisneros. I saw them Todd: Man, that sweet tea is so good. Go ahead. Yo, it's Carrie: inserting, like, let's insert, you know, let's start including African writers. Hispanic Todd: Right. Yo, it's Carrie: writers, like you would start to see Asian Todd: Diversity is our strength. Yo, it's Carrie: literature, like you would start to see some of that come in. I remember that and it was like, okay, that's cool. I just, don't understand why everyone freaks out because it's the Bible. It's like this big, you know, what do they call that? A bellwether? It's just this big alarm for them. And it's just not, it's not turning it into a Bible school. It's simply including into it something that's very foundational in our Western civilization. But I think what JD Vance said, do you agree on that? On the reading aspect in Texas and whatever. mean, like, I feel like that's not weird. Todd: With what you said? Yes. Yes, I a hundred percent agree with with what you said. We we guys also just this is a natural area for a good plug of beers with Jesus. We we have two shows we do. We have the Wild Day Opinion Day News Hour, we do every other week, and we have Beers with Jesus, where we just go through the stories of the Bible and kind of talk Right now we're in Genesis and honestly they're fabulous. We don't preach at you, but Yo, it's Carrie: Action-packed Genesis, you guys. I had no idea. Todd: But we just kinda go through the stories. We try to make some you know, we we read like like like the message talk, you know, we just read through the message and we talk to It's it it it's fabulous. You guys really should should join us. So yeah, go ahead, Gary. I a hundred percent agree with you. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, so we agree on the reading, but the first stuff that the first points JD Vance was making, I really I liked that recognition of what has happened. with regard to inclusion versus separation. It's such a delicate thing. And I liked his perspective on that. feel like he's good at that wide scope analysis of an issue. I Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: liked the perspective, the way he explained it. Todd: There I wanted to to you said for some reason for some reason Christianity seems to be specifically singled out. That as soon as as Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: soon as we which of course we're a Christian nation, everybody God forbid, I mean Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: if you took all the readings that Texas is going to require, I doubt it. I doubt that you I my guess is within an hour you could do all of We're talking about an maybe an hour of Bible reading over the course of how many hours of schooling? I think we'll be okay. But you know, Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: a little beers with Jesus for you guys. I want to read Matthew 10. Why is it that Christianity bothers people so much? This is Matthew 10 Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: in the message. Don't be naive. Some people will question your motives, others will smear your Yo, it's Carrie: and Todd: reputation just because you believe in me. don't be upset when they haul you before the civil authorities without knowing that they've done you and me a favor, giving you a platform for preaching kingdom news. And don't worry what you'll say or how you'll say it, the right words will be there. The spirit of your father will supply the words. And then I think Jesus gives the answer on why Christianity bothers people so much. When people realize it is the living God you are presenting and not Yo, it's Carrie: . Todd: some idol that makes them feel good, they're going to turn on you. Even people in your own family. There's such a great irony here. Proclaiming so much love, experiencing so much hate. Don't quit, don't cave in. It's all well worth it in the end. It's not success you're after in the end, but survival. Be survivors before you've run out of out of options. The Son of Man will have arrived. And he says, They may not like it, but I like it. So yeah, I think I think it's true. The living God, you know, and he's we talk about it all the time in Beers of G's, he's just offensive. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Well, do you think because, OK, so I've never heard that little bit there that you just read, because Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: when we did the gospel, we did the gospel of Mark. Todd: Right, we didn't do Matthew. Yo, it's Carrie: OK, so, and I know it's a translation, but I like how it was put. And it makes me wonder, why would people turn on you after they realize it's not an icon, but it's a living God? And I'm thinking, is that because something will be required of them? It's like. Todd: Yeah. They don't want to be responsible to a living God. Yo, it's Carrie: It's like, it's a living God who's going to have expectations and want a relationship and want you to be active in it. that like just, yeah, accountability or, Todd: Yes. No thank you is what most people want. Yo, it's Carrie: yeah, I guess so. Todd: They're fine with a collection of of random false gods and idols that they can Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: polish up and they can pray to this one and pray to this one and pray to this one, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: but doesn't require a lot of them. See, if if if the story of the Bible's true, Jesus doesn't want just so much of your time and so much He wants all of you. He requires all of us. He requires complete and total surrender and then he's gonna remake us in his image. People don't like that idea. Most people Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. No, they don't. Todd: are are pretty okay with how they are. They want more Yo, it's Carrie: True. Todd: money and they want more friends and they want more this and more that. But Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: they don't wanna have to change who they are to get any of those things. Yo, it's Carrie: That's true. That's true. Todd: So I did I thought that was interesting Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: by by J D and and Joe to have that conversation. there's one other one. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. I want to listen to that because I like the vibe between them. Is it pretty Todd: I listened to about half of the Yo, it's Carrie: good? Todd: yeah, not bad. I listened to Steve Dace a lot. He had given it he didn't think it was one of Vance's strongest. He gave it about a B minus. But I don't listen to the whole thing. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And you know, there was times they talked about Epstein a lot. I mean, I bet they spent Yo, it's Carrie: Ohhhh Todd: forty minutes on Epstein and Vance said they screwed up the comms on Epstein and Vance is a little bit of a conspiracy theorist, so I mean But I just felt like for me personally, I felt like that just drag on and on. But you know what? I realize Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: that there's people out there that are real real wired up about the Epstein stuff. To me, it's as it ever was. There's probably a new Epstein out there right now. Trafficking kids, controlling politicians, Yo, it's Carrie: Thank Todd: all the things you think Epstein does, they're doing it right now. It just changed faces. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Yeah. Todd: Cause evil doesn't stop, it just changes mask. That's all. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Okay. That's fair. Todd: And so I just think it's I'm not saying we shouldn't prosecute it. I'm not saying we shouldn't be mad that our government doesn't want to do it. I'm just saying Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: it's we we live in a in a corrupt system. So period. Then there isn't any Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. OK. Todd: perfect system. So but this I thought was interesting. This is also on Rogan, although I'm not entirely sure if we're gonna see Rogan on here. This is Brett Weinstein, who you'll recognize when I play it. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: And he's talking about this is one of those this isn't a Well, it's not so much a political thing. Everything kind of mires and and and mixes up. He's talking about the change that feminism and the sexual revolution produced in young people, specifically with how they relate to causes and politics. It's kind of interesting. It's a longer Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: clip, so we'll see how we do Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: on it. But I I think this is something that you'll find interesting that is worth talking about, at least. A little Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: bit more on the cultural end. So this again is Brett Weinstein. Sex. Yo, it's Carrie: Thank Thank Todd: Ha ha ha. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Wow. That's the... Todd: Okay, what do you think, Gary? That's I mean that's it that that's the the the long and short of it. Yo, it's Carrie: Todd, that... My mind's blown right now. Todd: I thought it was like a really good point. I thought he is making a really good point. Yo, it's Carrie: That's such a good point. I looked him up, by the way, because I do recognize him a little bit. The name sounded familiar. Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: So he's an author, but he also was a professor of evolutionary biology. Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: So I was just curious of his background when you introduced him. Well, Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: my mind is blown. He talked about this energy, like this youthful energy. Todd: It would normally be put into family raising and rearing and kids start Yo, it's Carrie: Yes, the s- Todd: having families, they break away at eighteen, nineteen, twenty because Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: they want to bang. And bangin' makes kids and bangin' makes families. And that's how the whole thing was structured up until Yo, it's Carrie: Right, right, make a family and all that energy, yep. Todd: fifties or sixties. I I don't know, nineteen sixties maybe. And then everything changed with the introduction of the pill. Pill and abortion Yo, it's Carrie: Right. he's... Yes. Todd: are kind of the two Yo, it's Carrie: And then I think following that, Todd: Abortion's pretty effective birth control. Yo, it's Carrie: ability to delay, Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: just fertility treatments, let's call them fertility treatments, Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: the evolution of that also, the development. So he Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: called it seriousness of purpose. I absolutely loved that term, that they're taking that youthful energy and putting into this seriousness of purpose. And Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: it's like, if it's not going to what it's always gone to in history, it's Todd: Right. Yo, it's Carrie: got to go somewhere. And isn't that true? Look at the college campuses and the free Palestine. Todd: Hundred percent. Yo, it's Carrie: And you know what, Todd? This affirms what you and I have been saying. how these young people are looking around at our society and they're like, some of them, wise ones, I think, who've been maybe raised well, are saying Todd: Raised well. Yo, it's Carrie: raised well, like some seeds were planted. think they're, Todd: like Christian parents. Yo, it's Carrie: yeah, I think they're looking around and saying, none of this kind of purpose or whatever is real and that's what's Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: causing the revival. Todd: So now you're getting th and you're right. There there is a swing back to we're Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: gonna have kids earlier, we're gonna have big families, we're gonna have I mean, have you seen Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Wow. Todd: that even in your own like I mean you have kids, you have kids friends, you know what I mean? There you you you've been around that age is my point. Like so Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: am I. And I and I think that that makes some sense when you see that the there there's a you don't see it as they get a little older, millennials you see it in Like like there'll be millennial chicks who their whole life is like hating Trump and climate change and all kinds of things. Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. yeah. Climate change. Animal rescue. Like obsessed with animal rescue. And which is interesting because I feel like that's kind of a maternal thing. Todd: And by and large, most of are childless. Not all, but a lot. Yo, it's Carrie: Yes, not all, but the ones who really get like deep, deep into it. Yeah. Todd: Yeah. I mean I've even noticed that with like I I have a sister who's a little I think she just turned forty. Just had a baby though within the last Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yep. Todd: year and totally has changed her now. She's still carrying along the residual baggage of of Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. Todd: of of leftists that that we have to Abortion is health care. that's interesting. It's Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Right. Todd: a real effective form of health care. We should try that in some of the hospitals. We'd clear beds like you wouldn't imagine. Just shit. Yo, it's Carrie: That's what Canada's doing. Todd: Holy cow, what do we need all these nurses for? Exactly. But but my Yo, it's Carrie: Canada just needed to make some room. So yeah. Todd: point is that the in in is that you see now that now that there's a baby like that becomes your whole world. Of course it does. It'll take a little while to Yo, it's Carrie: it's supposed to. Todd: wear off all of that, you know, 15 years of of leftist that that is built up, and maybe it won't at the end. But the point is that you wouldn't have given that the time to build up had you had a baby when you were twenty five. You Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: know what I mean? And that's true. Yo, it's Carrie: right? I think, yeah. Todd: And so now we see an entire generation of just of lunatic young people who don't understand. They think that whites bad, that the West is bad. They have no Bill Maher's right, they have no sense of history at all. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: They don't understand that American slavery might have been bad, but American slavery represented about five percent of the slaves who came over. Most of them, 95%, went to South America. Ninety percent went to Brazil. Like my my Yo, it's Carrie: Yaaaayyyy Todd: point is they have no and Brazil's a bunch of colored people down there, right? Buying slaves. Other colored people. Yo, it's Carrie: Well, I was going to say, I don't hear people blasting Brazilians and calling them slave owners and asking for reparations. Are they? Right. Todd: Right, but that's my point is no, the the this slavery was a it was the British Empire and it was it was Western civilization and Christianity specifically that finally destroyed the slave trade. And changed people's minds that this is wrong. You can't own people. That Yo, it's Carrie: Right. That recognized it wasn't right. Yeah. Which doesn't happen very often. Right. Todd: went directly against hell, I don't know, eight thousand years of human history. But that change really, if you think about it, happened relatively fast. If you think of like you will we look at it and of course we fought a civil war and there was there was decades of strife and whatever, but if you think about the ingrained idea that it's okay to own another human being, and if you say within about a hundred years that idea was flipped, that's pretty fast, really. And that's Christianity. That's Jesus making that change. I don't I that doesn't happen without Christianity. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, well said. Well said. Todd: So yeah, I just I I I think that they miss it. And so to the extent that that revival's out there happening, Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: and it it's it's it's good. It's a it's a positive change, I think. Yo, it's Carrie: You asked if I see that among the young people. And I was going to say, I Todd: That you've Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: see it. You know who I see it in? I see it in military people. And it's kind of a joke. I think I've told you this. It's kind of a joke that Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: a young guy in this area, this age, gets into the military. And right away, they want to their own family. They want to get married. Todd: Okay. Let me ask you a question. Do you think there's a difference between because you have a daughter and you have two sons? I only have girls. Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Todd: is there a difference in how this impacts or or how much of an effect it has between women and and men? In other words, are men do men tend to be a little more conservative and a little want a family, but now the women have gone off and and and done whatever? Yo, it's Carrie: Mm. Todd: Or is it kind of men are torn because men like free sex too and no kids? And so there's this whole thing, you know, like they want Yo, it's Carrie: I don't know. I don't know. Todd: a family, but they want to have their cake and eat it too, and then they find it doesn't work very well. Yo, it's Carrie: Of the young men I know, including the ones in my house, many of them are conservative, politically, but Todd: Okay. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: not necessarily wanting the family. My boys say they don't want kids. Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: I hope that changes. My daughter wanted kids. She just wasn't planning on it quite so soon. Todd: She didn't want them as quick as she got. Yo, it's Carrie: It was a big surprise, bracing it, crushing it. but that was not, that was not her plan to do it quite so soon. And I don't know that, I don't know that they're going to do more, which is sad to me. But again, it's Todd: really? Interesting. Yo, it's Carrie: like, again, you never know. God really is the one who's going to decide. He decided that they were going to have one early. Todd: That is interesting because the my sister has it who just had a baby and she was forty is from what I hear I don't talk Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Todd: to her all that much, but from what I hear is well like wants another one, doesn't want her her her bab Lucy to be like an only kid, I think. I guess is what I'm what I'm hearing. Yo, it's Carrie: Exactly. my gosh, you as her brother have not ruined her opinion of siblings, Todd. Good job. Todd: Maybe. At least not totally. Yo, it's Carrie: Not totally. Yeah. So I don't know, but I see, I see a variety, but I do see the conservatism among men. The women, it's Yep. Todd: So he he detailed a problem. He detailed okay, this was eight thousand years of human history, whatever. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: And then we changed it in the last fifty, basically, sixty. And Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Todd: then look what look what we've wrought, kind of, right? Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: What do you think it can be unwound? Culturally, I mean. I understand it can be unwo unwound in people, of course. It's a revival and maybe even in groups of people through a revival. But do you think culturally we can unwind it? Yo, it's Carrie: I think yes, I just think it's going to, I don't think everyone's going to kind of eventually gravitate towards the middle and some kind of peaceful coexistence. I think it's going to continue to be a deep divide between two schools of thought and unfortunately, and while the resistance of it might get smaller, I think there's Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: always going to be this just, I think we've just kind of. gone so far towards contention, you know, I don't think we're going to be able to unravel that, the heat of that. But Texas, huh. Todd: I'll tell you what I I think will happen. I think that it'll take a while, as such things do, but the the revival that's pushing people to have kids and have five kids and have young Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: compared to the libs who don't want to have any kids and want to save the planet from global warming, Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Todd: they're all gonna die. And the ones with all the kids are gonna take over. That's what happened. That's the concern Yo, it's Carrie: There you go. Todd: with unbridled im immigration from Muslims and things is and what Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: England has found is that they the Muslims wildly outbreed them. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: And to some extent, Christians could take some cues from that. I think Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Yeah. Todd: Speaking of which, this is a guy who was on this is a quick little clip. He was on Joe Rogan. We got a lot of Joe Rogan today. It just happened to be Yo, it's Carrie: It's cool. Todd: what came up while I was gone, I guess. But he's talking about what happens when the Muslims come in and and start to to kinda take over. And and there's a there's a certain number, there's a threshold you hit. Yo, it's Carrie: Ugh... It's... It's scary. Yeah. Todd: And we'll hear what he says. Lebanon he's talking about. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Wow. Todd: That's gonna be England. I I don't personally I don't think England can can reverse the tide. I I don't I don't think mathematically England can reverse it's it's possible, Yo, it's Carrie: Really? Really? Todd: but the but the kind of draconian things they would have to do, loading Muslims onto ships and shipping them off, they don't have the stomach for it. We Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Like they're never, they're never going to do that. Todd: probably don't either. We aren't doing much for mass deportations. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. I was going to say, yeah, we're not either. think you have to prevent, you you've got to slow the bleeding. can't just amputate. Todd: Hopefully America is we're we're far enough behind Britain that we can Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and and Trump closed the border. I I like I said, I don't think we're gonna get mass deportations, but it it doesn't appear Yo, it's Carrie: You know, and England is so small. Here's the thing that, that I think is important to remember is England is so, so small. And I mean, I think it'd be easy to, no, that's okay. Todd: Go ahead. Sorry, Carrie. I was trying to get that to pause. Yo, it's Carrie: That's okay. I was just going to say, I think that they're so tiny, so it's going to happen quickly. And I hope I know he's, my gosh, he's such a hoot. Todd: He's so distracting. Yo, it's Carrie: He's such a- I know, I'm kind of like trying to Todd: Sorry, Gary. Yo, it's Carrie: keep my train of thought. I'm like, sorry. So, Todd: Sorry guys, I put a big giant mm screen share up of James Carvel. Yo, it's Carrie: And he's like in bed, is Marie's hat, Marty Grosher. He's such a hoot. What a hoot. he looks like maybe Mitch McConnell is lying in the bed next to him. Todd: Ken Star is a space alien. Yo, it's Carrie: Anyway, all I'm saying is we're, we're so big. And I think while it will take long, I mean, we see it happening in cities. So there's, there are issues. I'm not saying that it isn't happening. Yeah, Todd: Yeah. Dearborn, Michigan, for sure. Yo, it's Carrie: it isn't not happening, but. I'm hoping that at some point people who maybe are like, everyone should be welcome, will see these smaller places. you don't have to go that far back in history to see what happens. And it's like, I just hope their eyes are open. Todd: Do you ever see like the videos that pop up like on X or they'll pop up on Instagram? And it'll be like America in the 60s or America in the 70s. And you look back and you're like, man, those were the days. I don't there was no Muslims. Or not many, not many, Yo, it's Carrie: yeah it's it's pretty wild right my gosh i need shoot Todd: not nearly as many. but Yo, it's Carrie: Disrealized. Yes. Okay. Todd: James Carvil. This is James Carve. There there is, you know, for all the I find this on both sides. When Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: the Republicans have control, they're they fret about the fact that that their people aren't doing enough and we aren't doing but then the Democrats do the exact same thing when they're in control. If you remember for all that Biden did, it was just caterwalling all the time on the left about he's not going far enough. He's not saving the planet. He's not ending oil. You know what I mean? Everything that they wanted. But Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: you get that on both sides. But but all is not well. I would say the in my opinion, the Republican Party right now is in better shape than the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is in the process of imploding. You've Yo, it's Carrie: I know. Todd: got the socialists, the Marxist, and and you've got people who aren't willing to support him. Carville was the architect of of Bill Clinton's campaign. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, thank you for reminding me of that because I forget that. Todd: So so Carvel is is a he he's a bit of a dinosaur, you could say. But he had a lot of success. If you're Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: the Democrat Party and you want to go back and you want to look at the golden era of the Democrat Party, Clinton's not a bad one to look at. You know, he had peace Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. yeah. Todd: and prosperity. You had Monica Yo, it's Carrie: He did and he- Todd: Lewinsky and we were all like, nah, he's getting below, he's in the Oval Office. well. At least we got peace and prosperity. Yo, it's Carrie: I know even, yes, even if you didn't, even if you didn't agree with all of his policies, he wasn't, he wasn't extreme. We could all talk about it. You could, you could disagree with him and not like lose sleep over it. Yeah. Peace and prosperity Todd: Right. And the Yo, it's Carrie: go, go very far in that way. Todd: If the biggest thing we gotta worry about is what's going on under the desk at the Oval Office, I think America can handle that. That's what Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, it's like, thank God. Thank God. Todd: we felt like. Yo, it's Carrie: you Todd: Okay, let's hear what James Carvel has to say about the current state of the Democrat Party. That's what he's talking Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: about. We'll see how much we can get. He's talking about voter ID. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, I'm sorry. Todd: It doesn't happen. That's what we found out. Right after Trump did his big speech, we found out New Jersey Yo, it's Carrie: It doesn't happen. Todd: had sixty six hundred voters. But that doesn't happen. It's such an anomaly. It Yo, it's Carrie: No, especially not in Muskegon. Todd: was a moonshot. Yo, it's Carrie: infinitesimal. Todd: Barely. Yo, it's Carrie: Doesn't it? Todd: But the American people are so stupid. They're so stup I don't know who that is. I don't know. No, it's not Britt Hume. I don't know who it is. It does. Yo, it's Carrie: Is that Brit? Is that Brit Hume? Who is that? It looks like Brit Hume's grandpa. It looks like his grandfather. Okay, sorry. Todd: It looks like he's about a hundred and seventy five. Whoever he's talking. Yo, it's Carrie: Is he in his pantry? He's like in his walk-in pantry. Where is Mitch McConnell in this old man collection? Todd: It doesn't happen. You'd have you could be Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible and you couldn't vote. But but I don't know if we're gonna win the you know the war on this. People seem to like the idea of people having to present an ID. If they have to at Olive Garden, maybe they should did you hear about that? The Olive Garden Yo, it's Carrie: No Todd: never ending Olive Garden this summer is doing a never ending pasta promotion, I guess. I I haven't been there and taken part. But they and they were asked, so y you can buy this, I don't know if it's a card, I don't know what it is, and you present it in in and for the summer you just get all the pasta you want. Yes. I don't Yo, it's Carrie: Bottomless pasta, okay. Todd: know how much it costs. I I don't know all the details. But they but Olive Garden was asked, well, what if people try to share these things? And they're like, No, you're gonna have to present an ID with your card And I think Trump Yo, it's Carrie: RACIST! Todd: refus referenced that in his in his speech about election integrity. But the Democrats are right. Yo, it's Carrie: Olive Garden is so racist. Todd: That said, none of this matters because the deep state is so worried about voter ID that it'll never. That's that's anathema to them. They've Yo, it's Carrie: He Todd: said it out loud. They you've had Democrat senators say if this happens, well it's gonna be very hard for Democrats to win anywhere. You mean if only Americans vote? That's weird. Yo, it's Carrie: He said, is James Carvel saying right now though that they're not going to win, that the ID thing is going to happen? Yeah, you're Todd: He's saying we're gonna have to give in on ID. Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: going to. Okay. Does he say more? Todd: It's only the states that don't are the states like New Jersey and California and Minnesota. The ones that run up the the scores for the Democrats. That's the ones Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: that don't. This is seems retarded to me. I needed my birth Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Todd: certificate. Last time I w when Mary and I got or not Mary When Nikki and I got married, I had to get Yo, it's Carrie: Married? Yes, when you're married. Todd: my birth certificate, I couldn't find it. And Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: I went to the courthouse and it took me like five minutes. Like I just Yo, it's Carrie: to get it. Todd: don't understand what they're talking about. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: Now I was allowed to keep my maiden name, so who knows? Yeah. I just love that Carville is in bed for this entire interview. Just unapologetically in bed. What do you got? Birth certificate? Look at that. Yo, it's Carrie: That's my birth certificate. That's how easy it was for me to put my hands on my birth certificate. How do people... I also have a passport, I don't understand. I'm ready to go. I've got a go bag. Todd: Wow. Carrie carries hers around. Carrie's got her papers. She's living in like nineteen thirties Germany. You got your papers? Okay, alright. You know, I have to tell you this is absolutely not the clip that I thought I was playing. It's kinda interesting, but it is not what I was Yo, it's Carrie: okay. But I'm glad we got to see James Carvel lying in bed. Todd: after. I don't know what clip I was after, 'cause that's the only Carvo clip I can find in the last few weeks. Maybe Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: I saw one that I thought was that one. I don't know, guys. Where he was going off about how he's not gonna be able to vote, you know Yo, it's Carrie: he's not going to be able to vote? Todd: I d I would I don't know that he said he wouldn't vote Democrat as much as he said that they the the Marxist and the socialists not gonna vote for them. That was well, Yo, it's Carrie: cause- Todd: that was the carvo clip I thought I had. And now I'm like Yo, it's Carrie: So. Todd: going through saying, Where is I got we're gonna end on James Franco, don't worry. We got a little James Yo, it's Carrie: But is James Carville, is he, so he hates Trump, obviously, Todd: Yes. Yo, it's Carrie: but is he also just such a traditional Democrat that he thinks the Democrats have gone a little crazy? Okay. Wow. There you go. Todd: Yes. Yes, that was and and you know part of that w in the we never talked much about Graham Platiner, that Senate candidate from Maine who came and went. He was elected Yo, it's Carrie: From Maine. Yep. He's gone. Todd: to the primary and then they decided he couldn't win and they got rid of him. That's all I I don't know. When they picked somebody else, just like Biden Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, they dumped him. They dumped him. Todd: and Kamba, you just don't know. They do what they want. Yo, it's Carrie: So you know how I learned a little bit about his tattoo. We talked about it while we were up North. Yeah, I was reading. So Todd: did ya? So you know more about it than I do probably. Yo, it's Carrie: here's what I learned. I'm, and I, I'll say this. I, I'm going to defend the guy a teensy bit based on Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: what I know that he did not have a swastika tattoo. Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: He had a skull with these like bones behind it that apparently Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: is considered a Nazi symbol. but I wasn't familiar with it. Now my sons recognized it. They're like, yeah, that's a Nazi symbol. I'm like, okay, I didn't even know that. Well, he claimed Todd: W skull with what? Yo, it's Carrie: it's a particular type of skull and he his Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: bones behind it. Not like a pirate, not like a Jolly Roger, but like more like behind it, almost kind of coming out like a fan behind it. Todd: Yeah. Yo, it's Carrie: It's a Nazi symbol. Now Todd: Whew, I didn't know. Yo, it's Carrie: he got it while he was... I can't remember where he was. He was overseas in the military. So he's in some foreign country, got this Todd: Mm-hmm. Yo, it's Carrie: tattoo while he was with his friends. Okay. So I'm thinking Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: maybe he didn't know. And I think he claimed that he didn't know what it was, Todd: Okay. Yo, it's Carrie: but there were some women who came out and this is what happened. I think this is what happened to his campaign. Women came out and said he knew what it was because he bragged about it and thought it was funny. Todd: But what tanked him was the women coming out saying that he had assaulted them. There was one in particular that said Yo, it's Carrie: gotcha. Todd: I read that story through and and and then I listened Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, okay. Todd: to Grand Plattener like, listen, none of this happened, but you know, all the money's drying up and it's just not made for the little people like you and me. Anthony Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Okay. Makes me want to go like, you know, pound on some woman's face. I'm so mad about it. Todd: And listen, I will say that I think that people the the I think that there is a there's a a point to the fact that the American people are tired of run of the mill politicians. And they're they're open to to different faces, flawed candidates that they feel like are at least a little real. At least there's something real about And they and they can be real messed up, don't get me wrong. there's there's I think there's a there's a I don't even know if if people know it but there's a hunger for authenticity and and people Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Todd: have such a hard time finding it you Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: know it's just everything is just plastic banana good time rock and roll fake content creation this that and the other Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: and just just somebody who's just coming out of my and even if you're authentically flawed I think they'll deal with that because I think people some people think that way about Trump. And and they but at least at least I'm dealing with somebody who's telling me something that he believes or is that half assed the truth or is kinda straight, even if he sounds crazy about some things. Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: I take that over the milk toast like political consultant campaigns and they get in Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: there and they all act the same and it's different versions of the same thing. Don't you think you feel like that's out there? Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Yes. 100%. I think that's why, I think that's why Trump lit everybody up. I think that's why everybody Todd: I agree. Yo, it's Carrie: got excited. It was like, my gosh, yes, we need someone who's not a politician. It's why people were, I, you know, there was someone else who else came on the scene. Anyway, just, I think people are definitely looking for that. They don't want someone who's been doing this so long that they just play the game to stay where they are. keep working this like a job, not like a purpose. Like a Todd: Yeah. And I think that Yo, it's Carrie: career. Like this shouldn't be your career. This should be because you're passionate about fixing something. Todd: I think that populism is on the rise. But for whatever reason, well Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, what does that mean? Todd: the people, so a populist type candidate like Trump, grassroots populism. But Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Yeah. Todd: but oddly the Democrats answer to to populism being on the rise seems to be Marxism and socialism. And and Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: maybe that makes sense. Maybe if we look through history we see that that tends to rise up 'cause they're power for the people and you're well, the people, but it's populist. Do you know what I mean? Yo, it's Carrie: Right. Todd: and I think that's part of what now this is the Carvo clip. This is the right one. I apologize, guys. That was a long ass one. I Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, you found it. What? Why is James like filming in his bed? Like I just, I know I'm like, I'm looking at his packing. I'm Todd: He's got a suitcase behind him. I think he's got the same clothes on he had for the next one. Yo, it's Carrie: looking at his packing habits. Like, why are you revealing all of this? Although I like his decor. Todd: Kia's Look at James Carvo found his principles. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. He reached the end of the, he reached the line, the line in the sand. Todd: He's not a communist. He remembers the Soviet Union. Most of the kids today have no idea what the Soviet Union even r was. What he's talking about is is Mondami, I can't remember what the elections were in New York City. So whatever they have, some kind of representation. I don't know if they're like in Chicago, there's Alderman. I don't know what the hell they are in New York Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: City. But you know, you'd have a city council or you have city commissioners or whatever they are. And and they represent different areas in the city, right? And Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Todd: three of those this was this was two or three weeks ago. that three of those were backed by Mandami and one against former liberal incumbents and they were avowed socialist, avowed communist, basically. Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. no. Todd: And that's he's just saying we gotta w we gotta hold the line on this commie takeover that we seem to Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Todd: be happening. Yo, it's Carrie: Wow. Todd: Anyway, who the hell knows what he's talking about? He's not he's not willing to be in the same party as communist, apparently. And that and that that's news. That's Yo, it's Carrie: Okay. Well, I think that's fantastic. That is news. So maybe are we going to have, okay, the Republican party, and hopefully we can just get to a point where we're like, you know, everyone calms down. And then we're going to have this like little, little party of Democrats. And then we're going to have a larger communist, like a socialist party. They're not going to call themselves communist. They'll call themselves socialist. Todd: Well, the the Democrats have always been just a a conglomeration of weird, strange bedfellows, strange groups that get together. You got trannies, Yo, it's Carrie: Sure. Todd: you got the gays, you got the we want to kill kids, the abortionist. You got the union members who don't really wanna kill kids, but they want their union twos. And they w you know what I mean? And then you got the school teachers and and everything just Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, you've got those who want to require electric vehicles and banned plastic straws. Todd: Yeah. Climate change, the peacenicks. You have the big government types. You got all these different things Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: and and they they've never gotten they th they don't Yo, it's Carrie: Thank Todd: really have something that holds them together all that well except that they hate Republicans. And that that becomes Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: difficult to hold together. You know what I mean? And Yo, it's Carrie: And you know what? I want to go back to Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton didn't give a crap or spend any time talking about any of the issues we just talked about. The Clintons talked about illegal Todd: No, not much. Well Yo, it's Carrie: immigration. Todd: yes, he did. And he talked about abortion. What Bill Clinton said about abortion is that abortion should be safe Yo, it's Carrie: safe and rare? Did he? Todd: and rare, free, safe and rare or something like that. Yo, it's Carrie: I think Ronald Reagan coined that right. He didn't say free though. Todd: Yeah, maybe not free, but it should be available and safe and rare or something like that. I don't I don't know. But but to but to say rare at the end of of abortion, even for a Democrat, you'd never get that today. Yo, it's Carrie: No, it's like, there's a van outside. Go take a number. Yeah. Todd: Bill Clinton had a balanced budget. Bill Clinton had welfare reform that he may have been drug it, kicking and screaming into by Newt Gingrich, but still. I mean Bill Clinton Yo, it's Carrie: Right? I know. Who'd thought, man? We're all. Todd: we got more out of Bill Clinton than we got out of George W. Bush. I think. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh, here on the wildly opinionated news hour, who would have thought that we would be praising Bill Clinton and Todd: I I know. Yo, it's Carrie: listening to James Carville worried about New York? Todd: Worried about a schism, a civil war in the Democrat Party, and I don't think he's necessarily wrong on that. So all right, guys, we're gonna end this week Yo, it's Carrie: Good. Crazy. Okay. Todd: with with our good buddy James Franco. I don't know, everybody knows that he's had some whoops. Sorry, guys. It's all screwed up here. Let me fix this. Okay. James Franco. I don't remember the The last time we did news or one of the times before, he Yo, it's Carrie: Mm-hmm. Todd: he had been visited by an alien. I whatever an alien is. Not your typical illegal aliens in California. Yo, it's Carrie: He didn't come out and say it, but it was clear that it was something other, otherworldly in his shed. But. Todd: He didn't walk out to his shed and find a taco party. These are the real ones. Yo, it's Carrie: gosh. Todd: But he was chosen to tell us that the aliens are here or what I I don't know. Yo, it's Carrie: He feels like he was chosen. is this, okay, is this the clip we're going to watch? Okay. Okay. Todd: Well, this is one of them. We'll watch the one you found at right after this. We'll end with that. That one's better. But this is this is James. This is a it's a further it's another installment of James Franco, Yo, it's Carrie: Okay, I'm glad he's still alive. Todd: the aliens chosen representative to humanity. In his old stretched-out t-shirts. Why can't the aliens buy him one of those nice like V suits that they all have? They don't dress like Yo, it's Carrie: you Todd: that, James. Once they take over, everything is all like tucked away. We all look a lot alike. Yo, it's Carrie: shiny dickies. These are his painting shirts. Remember he paints in the shed. Todd: Today. You ready? Whoops. What happened? I happened. Yo, it's Carrie: It was thrust upon him, Todd: He didn't he's been his zebra rug. Yo, it's Carrie: That's a lot to go through when they thrust something upon you. Todd: Yeah. It was thrust upon him. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah. Todd: God. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Todd: He does. He owed it to you, Carrie. Yo, it's Carrie: I'm going to send something else to you. Todd: It's a laptop guys, with video. Yo, it's Carrie: Yep. Todd: and there's a guy poking his head. He looks like an alien from like a nineteen fifties alien movie, like a costume. You see the little guy? Yo, it's Carrie: Yes. Todd: god he he just peeked in the window, guys. Big dark eyes. Yo, it's Carrie: my gosh. Todd: Look at him. Look at his hands, his claws are against the window. Or the or maybe the camera. my god, he's in his painting shed. He just opened the door and closed it again. Yo, it's Carrie: at his face. Todd: This is he's showing us this is everything. This is world changing right here. He fought to get his account back. See? Enough said. Yo, it's Carrie: boy. Todd: I don't think a lot more footage coming soon. It gets very crazy, guys. lordy. Yo, it's Carrie: no. no. Okay. Todd: So then that was w that was one. We have one more James I well I have another James Franco. Maybe Kerry sent me another one. Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah, I sent you that one. Okay. Todd: This is the one you just sent me, or you sent me before the show started. And so this is more James Franco video footage, guys. Are you ready? He's James Franco's being attacked. Everybody's being attacked by an alien. my god. my god. This is hor I can Yo, it's Carrie: So bad. Todd: see why he feels those thrust upon him. They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs. Yo, it's Carrie: was like, yeah, I'll eat it. Wow. my gosh. That's wild. What do think of that? I was going to, but I can't find the right thing. Todd: What it did you send me something else? you didn't. Okay. Never mind. Yo, it's Carrie: Are you a South Park fan? Todd: I li you know, I don't watch it a ton. I like the clips and stuff and sometimes Allie'll turn it on and I'll watch it with her. Yo, it's Carrie: the clips early, early on, Cartman is visited by aliens in the night and they're talking about an anal probe and they ask chef in the cafeteria. They asked chef, what's an, what's that? And he's like, that's when they put this hoop-a-jube up your butt. Todd: Is that why James Franco's shirt's all stretched out? Yo, it's Carrie: Hope not. Poor James Franco. But I mean he kept... Todd: How big are these machines? I thought as technology got better, things got smaller. How big are these anal probes? Yo, it's Carrie: I know he kept talking about being thrust upon him and all I could think of was Chef talking about the Hoopa-Jube. I apologize. Go look it up. It's hilarious. I just couldn't find Todd: All right, go. Yo, it's Carrie: the right clip. Todd: So listen guys, James Frank will Yo, it's Carrie: Ugh. Todd: be back. We'll be keeping a sharp eye out.

Todd: I said it was like watching two limbless men wrestle. That's what it felt like. Just rolling around, Bob and Stu. Yo, it's Carrie: When you said that, when you said that, Bob and Stu, it made me think, I was like, I wonder if they're going to have a cornhole tournament at the end. Do remember Todd: Ha ha ha. Yo, it's Carrie: that guy who was playing professional cornhole? Todd: Yeah, one of better be careful 'cause you don't need you don't need limbs, you don't need thumbs to shoot people anymore.

Yo, it's Carrie: Yeah? Todd: But I couldn't tell if he was fighting with the alien or against the alien. I felt Yo, it's Carrie: Gotcha.
