00:00:00.000 Olive Garden, folks, becomes unlikely face of voter ID after restaurant policy goes viral.
00:00:08.180 I don't know if you guys saw this tweet or not, so I retweeted it.
00:00:10.460 If you want to go to Twitter and just go to my Twitter account, you should find it easily.
00:00:13.940 Just go to it.
00:00:14.580 So Olive Garden, you guys know this is one of those restaurants that is on their last lifeline.
00:00:20.960 Like they're barely, honesty.
00:00:22.720 Yeah.
00:00:23.140 They're barely trying to make it.
00:00:24.640 Yeah.
00:00:24.840 But after this, I may have to take my family to just go to Olive Garden once just to support them.
00:00:30.560 Can you go on their tweet first, please?
00:00:32.620 Can you go on there?
00:00:33.180 Because they're responding to somebody.
00:00:34.720 Go up.
00:00:35.700 Yeah, so there you go.
00:00:37.120 So zoom in a little bit.
00:00:38.360 What you need to know about the pasta pass sale starts tomorrow.
00:00:43.780 So then Super Mario asks a question.
00:00:49.460 Are you able to order pasta for family using this pasta pass?
00:00:52.800 or that exclusively for the person with the card at the table.
00:00:57.840 I don't know about you, but it'd be really weird
00:01:00.780 with just one person having unlimited pasta
00:01:03.020 while everyone awkwardly waits.
00:01:05.140 And this is what Olive Garden said.
00:01:06.920 No, the never-ending pasta pass is only for use of the pass holder
00:01:11.240 whose name is printed on the pass.
00:01:13.580 Passes are personalized and non-transferable.
00:01:15.880 Pass holders must present a what?
00:01:18.140 a valid photo ID
00:01:20.600 along with
00:01:22.580 the pass at the time
00:01:24.680 of ordering.
00:01:26.500 That's from Olive Garden, and we had to translate
00:01:28.560 that from German. Nein! 1.00
00:01:30.720 See, never-ending pasta is only
00:01:32.420 for the pass holder. Now, keep in mind,
00:01:34.800 okay, I don't know what that meant, but keep this in mind.
00:01:36.980 Tom, you were doing so good today
00:01:38.460 on the jokes, Tom. So, when you read
00:01:40.500 this, you're kind of sitting there saying, wait a minute,
00:01:43.020 I need an ID
00:01:44.120 to get this
00:01:46.460 unlimited pasta
00:01:47.600 because it's so important,
00:01:50.120 but I don't need an ID
00:01:51.520 to be able to vote for president.
00:01:53.960 Can you imagine, what's more important, Vinny,
00:01:55.740 pasta or president?
00:01:56.760 Have you ever tried the pasta, right?
00:01:59.920 By the way, now here's the other thing.
00:02:03.060 What percentage of Democrats
00:02:04.280 do you think support voter ID for Americans?
00:02:07.300 What percentage of Democrats?
00:02:08.960 Democrats?
00:02:09.780 According to a CNN poll,
00:02:12.160 what percentage of Democrats?
00:02:13.480 Can you pull it up?
00:02:14.600 Pull up that video.
00:02:15.400 Do you know which one I'm talking about?
00:02:16.400 Can I guess?
00:02:16.980 No, no, I won't.
00:02:17.600 Both of you guys, I want you to get.
00:02:19.080 72%.
00:02:19.440 Go ahead.
00:02:20.600 Or 60%.
00:02:21.260 Yeah.
00:02:22.220 I think 70% of Democrats think that ID should be needed to vote.
00:02:26.840 I will show you.
00:02:27.120 70%.
00:02:28.000 Okay.
00:02:28.780 So check this out.
00:02:30.660 Right there.
00:02:31.280 Right there.
00:02:31.680 Play that clip, please.
00:02:32.640 Just play that clip.
00:02:33.820 Okay?
00:02:34.460 85% of white people favorite.
00:02:36.580 82% of Latino.
00:02:38.200 76% of black Americans favorite.
00:02:40.540 So the bottom line is this.
00:02:42.560 Voter ID is not controversial in this country.
00:02:45.520 Thank you.
00:02:45.840 A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.
00:02:48.880 It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race.
00:02:52.720 The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID.
00:02:56.880 You can pause it right there.
00:02:58.620 Respectfully, Harry, which party is trying to make it controversial?
00:03:04.560 Because that's the other poll, not the Republican Party.
00:03:08.340 The Democratic Party, like Newsom and others, 0.74
00:03:12.760 are trying to make that controversial that even blacks are saying,
00:03:18.060 why shouldn't I be able to get an ID?
00:03:20.080 I can get an ID. 0.94
00:03:21.040 Hispanics, I can get an ID.
00:03:22.860 But the Democratic Party says, no, no, you can't.
00:03:25.400 Don't say that.
00:03:26.400 It's very hard for you.
00:03:27.900 So kudos to Olive Garden.
00:03:30.940 They accidentally, if you were to bet and see Olive Garden politically,
00:03:35.360 the person who tweeted it. Which way do you think they lean
00:03:37.760 politically? Oh, Republican. No, the person
00:03:39.840 that tweeted on Olive Garden. That's a
00:03:41.820 19-year-old social media coordinator
00:03:43.900 that's probably tweeting that back and giving the details.
00:03:46.040 Like a 22-year-old song like that. Well, it could be 85%.
00:03:48.160 Gosh. Well, Pat,
00:03:49.820 maybe Olive Garden should run the voting system 0.99
00:03:51.780 in the country. Well, that you vote and they 0.91
00:03:53.760 give you like a handful of pasta or like a
00:03:55.740 meatball. So like a national day
00:03:57.800 off to vote. Yes. And free lunch.
00:03:59.720 Free lunch. Dude. Olive, Pat, you should
00:04:01.700 definitely. With an ID. Olive Garden
00:04:03.960 should take over and run the voting.
00:04:05.980 It would happen on one day, too, and everybody would get fat.
00:04:07.780 So, Adam, where are you at with this? By the way, when's the
00:04:09.960 last time all of you guys had Olive Garden? Honestly,
00:04:11.940 when's the last time you ate at Olive Garden? I ate there one
00:04:13.680 time, and 0.93
00:04:15.940 it was ridiculous.
00:04:18.220 When was it? How long ago? 0.78
00:04:19.860 20-some years ago. Oh, you haven't been there
00:04:21.820 20 years ago. I haven't. Tom, when's the last time
00:04:23.860 you ate at Olive Garden? I don't think I've been to Olive Garden
00:04:25.800 in the last three years. Three? Oh, so three years.
00:04:27.800 You were three years ago.
00:04:29.620 I haven't been to Olive Garden in the last
00:04:31.920 three weeks, man. Adam, when's the last time you brought
00:04:33.800 at least three weeks since i went when is the last time you went to olive garden man i'll tell you
00:04:38.360 what uh i haven't ate a carb in 22 years i'm trying to stay lean and mean what guys it's a
00:04:44.840 basic question adam when is the last time you went to olive garden 20 something years okay that's all
00:04:50.860 you got to say so can i give me your thoughts on this story go ahead tell us your olive garden
00:04:55.820 story what are your thoughts about this olive garden story with ids well this is the rules for
00:05:01.640 the but not for we everybody knows that ID makes sense guys can we get past the
00:05:06.620 fact that you need an ID for everything to rent a car to buy cigarettes to buy
00:05:12.140 alcohol I'm traveling across the world right now what do you think I just show
00:05:15.440 up with an Olive Garden pass to get through customs you have to show your
00:05:18.980 ID you have to show your passport it's nonsensical 75 80 percent of Americans
00:05:24.140 oh yeah you need an ID because they have a brain so if Olive Garden can do it we
00:05:29.360 should probably take a note from prima posta bill and implement in our voting systems but some of
00:05:35.080 our government officials and politicians are too weak and feckless to actually bring this up let 1.00
00:05:41.160 me tell you we won't forget we're gonna ask for your idea that's amy coney barrett that's why she 0.94
00:05:45.660 should resign amy coney barrett should resign she could have done something about it the supreme
00:05:51.640 court should have done something about it this was a top three issue for me and she voted against it
00:05:56.240 okay she voted against it can you pull up did amy coney barrett vote to support voter id
00:06:02.280 on chat gbt did amy coney barrett support voter id at the supreme court okay so the point is this
00:06:10.960 was this was how many people question for you pbd how many people what how many justices voted for
00:06:19.700 and against i think it was a five four against and and uh uh what's his name kavanaugh had a
00:06:26.680 explanation on his if i'm not mistaken who are the justices that voted against the same we talked
00:06:33.680 about this just last week that shows the three amigas plus roberts plus tony baron so
00:06:40.460 two conservatives three liberals can you go a little bit lower go a little bit lower a little
00:06:48.300 bit lower wasn't that the chart that we had that we went through this hey wasn't that the chart
00:06:53.000 that we had we had a chart about this last week so to me a big a bigger part about this is that
00:06:58.640 this was a common sense thing that supreme court voted against it that the president came back and
00:07:03.320 said i'm not doing the housing bill with the congress unless if you add voter id to it and
00:07:08.440 then eventually he came back and said let's go in and do it because it's the right thing to do
00:07:11.520 and they did uh this was the chart yeah this was a chart if you want to make it bigger this is amy
00:07:16.400 coney barrett pre-2022 she voted 82 81 percent of the time with the conservatives and then afterwards
00:07:21.580 59 57 50 and she just became the person that's not helping pass a lot of the things that the
00:07:28.880 american people voted for people ask us and say hey we'd love to come to the campus get a tour
00:07:33.180 an entire new headquarters 11 acres on the airport allegedly this was a former cia dod property that
