Full Transcript
I want to focus from what is going on nationally and up in space to something going on right here in Tennessee. Joining us right here in studio is Johnny Garrett. He is state representative for the 45th district, the Tennessee House part of Sumner County. And you are running to replace John Rose in the House of Representatives. So welcome to Nashville's morning news. You announced back in I guess July and how is the race going? How is your campaign? We think it's going absolutely great. I'm learning more about the 6th district every single day, meeting new people every single day. They are excited about the America first agenda for what's going on. Really? Because you haven't come to my house. That's right. I live in the 6th district. I want to knock on your door today. You're going to get a visit from me today. Not just in studio but at your house. That's right. You'll see the sign that says protected by Smith and Wesson. Totally kidding. Totally kidding. You're exercising your second amendment of rights, sir. Absolutely. And I know that's a big part of what you stand for. So you have been in the House of Representatives, the state legislature since 2018. That's right. 2018. We started in 2019. So let's talk a little bit about because you want to replace John Rose and so I want to kind of go through what you've done in the state legislature. So let's talk about what are the bills that you have been most proud of, that you've been involved in the passing of? Well, right now we are concentrating on the, you know, basically the Tennessee first legislation, right? With making sure our illegals don't need to be in the state. You want to demagnify. That's right. We don't want to make it an attraction, right? We want to do what President Trump is doing on the federal level to make sure we know we keep our borders closed. We keep our people safe, but we had four years of an open border policy with President Biden who I believe still believes he was probably president of Delaware rather than president of our country, right? And now we've got so many folks in the state that aren't supposed to be here. We are doing just that here in the state. What President Trump wants to do on the federal level to make sure those folks shouldn't be here. We shouldn't attract those folks to be here. They shouldn't have public benefits. They shouldn't take Tennessee dollars. So we have several pieces of legislation that's traveling through the system to make sure that Tennesseans receive Tennessee's money. And have you been part of that process? Have you been one of the leaders in that movement? Absolutely. A couple of years ago we appointed Immigrations are to be able to help with President Trump's immigration policies because we knew this was coming, right? We've been intimately involved in making sure we can implement President Trump's policies. I mean, that's one of the reasons why I'm running for Congress. We've been doing things right here in the state, doing great things right here in the state. We need to take a little Tennessee to D.C. to help President Trump pass his America first agenda because it is working here. It's working in Tennessee. It's working on the state level. We need to do what we do in Tennessee on the federal level. Is there a part of you that I believe that we have, you know, putting aside the two Justin's and Gloria Johnson and those knuckleheads, but I believe that in the state of Tennessee, we have a really good state legislature. Have you prepared yourself mentally for the dysfunction if you win of what you'd have to deal with in Washington, D.C., and the House of Representatives? Well, I don't know if you heard the committee yesterday where I was presenting a piece of legislation to make sure our local law enforcement officers cooperate with ICE under the 287G program. And the Democrats went crazy. I mean, Cussin, like crazy. You had Gabby Salinas, a state rep in Memphis that actually said cooperating with ICE makes Tennesseans less safe. That is so bizarre. If anyone would go to Memphis and see what President Trump and the Memphis Safe Task Force is happening, there's reduced crime by 50% by cooperating under the very program that I'm trying to push through the legislature. Look what's happening in Memphis, how people feel more safe. Crime has been reduced by 50% down there for a representative that represents Memphis that says cooperation with our federal law law enforcement doesn't work, make people less safe. This is not Minneapolis. We don't need the Omar, Omar folks that are in D.C. that just want lawlessness, that want people here that hates America. We don't need that here. Well, we don't. But it is so frustrating when you sit in my position and I'm looking at all of this stuff and I'm watching and listening to the nonsensical things that some of these Democrats say like a Gabby Salinas. And so you're going to have that 50-fold in the House of Representatives if you win. And I think that I love the idea of bringing a little bit of Tennessee to D.C. I got to ask the question though. You got to put a good life here. I mean, you're an attorney, you live in the state of Tennessee. You still would if you go to D.C. But why do you want to do this? Why do you want to insert this insanity? Have you spoken to, I don't know, maybe Scott Dejarlet or Andy Ogles or people that have been doing this for a time and they may tell you, are you sure you really want to do this? Well, I could tell you why I am doing this is I want to go to D.C. to help President Trump pass the America First agenda because that's why I'm running. For the past seven years in the state House, even the past decade since Republicans have controlled the legislature, look at what Tennessee is with the lowest taxed state almost in the country with low regulations. I like high freedoms and low taxes right here in the state of Tennessee. If we could take a little bit of that, really if we take a lot of that from Tennessee and superimpose it in D.C., that's what President Trump needs. He needs fighters just like me that I've been doing right here in the state to make sure we can put not just a little, Dan, but I hope a lot of Tennessee in D.C. There's nobody else in this race that's going to do this like we have because I've been doing it right here in the state House and I'm excited to be able to do that in D.C. Should the good people of the Sixth District decide to elect me as their congressman? Now you are seven generations in Tennessee. That's right. Tennessee, born in Brighton, you went to the University of Tennessee, Nashville School of Law as well. What kind of law do you specialize in? Mainly litigation. I do some probate in the state, planning a lot of business work, but I've learned how to litigate early in my career and I've been doing that ever since. So you were majority whip in the House for a few years and what I like to do when people come in and they want to, you know, they're running for Congress and so forth is I just kind of like to go through, you know, your experiences and I don't consider it a job interview, but that's kind of how I look at it. That's right. One of the things that I'm fascinated about is I used to be a big House of Cards fan. Really? Yeah. So when I saw that you were the majority whip in the House here in Tennessee for a few years, that's a major leadership role in the state of Tennessee or any state. Talk about what that role actually is and how that experience would prepare you for Congress. Sure. Well, first off, I became the majority whip my freshman year, which is a little bit of. Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward upside gains, any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Usual to come in that your freshman year, very first year. That's right. Talk about frying pan into the fire. Holy mackerel. That's right. That's right. Drinking from a fire hose. Yeah. I think my colleagues had confidence in my abilities to make relationship with them to trust what I can get accomplished in that position. And I think that's going to overwhelmingly help me in DC to understand and gain people's trust in relationships in DC. So when we want to push something on the federal level, we can get it done because of my experience that I've had in the state of Tennessee. People can look to see what we've accomplished here in the state and say if we could just do a little bit of that, a little bit of that in DC, because it's working what President Trump has been able to accomplish in his short year and a half since he's been reelected as president for his second term, has been second to none. If he could have just a little of what we accomplished here in the state, what I've accomplished as a state rep to become the majority whip, we, what we could accomplish in DC is boundless. And that's what fires me up every single day about the possibility of becoming the sixth district congressman for Tennessee. State Representative Johnny Garrett is joining us. He is running for Congress to replace John Rose and the sixth congressional district. You filed bills to stop the two justins from coming back into the state legislature. I was of course with you on that one. And that was just such an insane time in Tennessee. What was it like to, you know, be, be right in just right in the scrum with all of that? Well, when they overtook the floor of the house, they didn't just spit on those that were inside that chamber. They spent on 7 million Tennesseans because that's never been done. I talked to folks that had been on the chamber floor that have worked there for 30, 35 years. They had never seen any member of that chamber act, the way that they did. So I acted as one of the chief prosecutors as kicking them out because they didn't deserve, they still don't deserve in my opinion to be a member of the chamber. The Tennessee House were represented for the actions that they took that day, which, you know, you can protest to a degree, right? There's a place, there's a time, but we're actually doing the people's business at that particular time. And there are rules that are in place. They broke them. They admitted to breaking them and they don't care. Look at what has been going on in Memphis. Look what's going on in Nashville. They would rather have a sanctuary city and put criminal illegal aliens over the safety and security of Tennesseans. That's what's happening now with DHS and the funding there. That's their party. That's what they stand for. Folks like that shouldn't be able to represent the best interest of Tennesseans. I was honored to be in that position and I would do it all over again. They don't deserve to be there. They should have never done what they did. We've put rules in place to prevent that from happening again. But that was a travesty. That was a black eye on Tennesseans because they spit in the face of every single Tennessean when they overtook the floor of the House of Representatives. I've never seen anything like it and I wouldn't stand for it here and I'm not going to stand for it in Congress. Congressman Andy Ogles has talked about bringing ice to Nashville and of course we all know what we were able to do. We talked a little bit about the success in Memphis earlier. What do you think about that? Ogles says and it depends on what statistics you look at but he does say that Nashville is more dangerous from a crime statistic standpoint than Chicago. What do you think about that? I think it would work. I think it worked in Memphis. I think it should work here. We should do all that we can to cooperate with the federal, state and local officials to make sure people don't commit crimes and crimes, especially crimes that are committed by those that aren't supposed to be here. That is exactly what President Trump is doing right now. That's exactly what we've been doing here at the state level and that's exactly what I'm going to do when I'm elected Congressman because you know it. Your listeners would know and I've done it right here. I plan to do it in DC because we're going to take Tennessee to DC. Another passion of yours is election integrity. So you mentioned, I think you mentioned earlier the Save America Act. I think that is critical. We could talk about eliminating the filibuster and all of those things but you know just give me. You said two great things right there Dan. Yeah. Limiting the filibuster and the save act. Well talk about the Save America Act. How worried are you about election integrity coming up in the midterm elections and certainly the presidential election in 28? Well Tennessee we have a pretty, we have a secure election process here right but it states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York that do not because the Democrats can't win without cheating. Well you know what I've always said. I don't know if you're listening to me but oh yeah. One of the things that I've always said is the Democrats like to say and the media will do it too. They'll say oh there's no such thing as widespread election fraud. Well you don't need widespread. You need a few counties in a few battleground states. That's what you need to be able to take elections, cheat to win elections. That's right. Well what's interesting when you say you need an ID to vote? You can't get an ID to go into the White House right? You can't get an ID. Most like to get to buy anything at the stores these days but yet to go vote and show an ID to prove that you're an American, that Americans are electing Americans, the Democrats are against that. We don't understand it. That's why the Save Act is so important. Well the problem we have and the problems that I have with Democrats are that a lot of their thinking is just basacwards and it's irrational. I mean you were talking about was it Salinas you said? She's a Memphis State Representative. Memphis State Representative. Co-operating with ICE does not make Tennesseans safer. It's nonsensical. Like you can't even argue with somebody like that or that kind of rationale because it just doesn't even make any sense. So I guess part of what binds Republicans together regardless of the different shades of red is that the other side is just crazy. Like they just they don't make any sense and so you know I think obviously and I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know but I mean I think that whoever wins the primary for the sixth is going to win the sixth. When you travel around the sixth what are people saying about what their biggest priority is? Is it illegal immigration? Is it the Save America Act? Is it the economy and the price of gas? Is it Iran? What is it? I think it's a combination of all three but I think right now people want more money back in their pockets right and seeing what President Trump has done with the Working Families Tax Cut Act right. The big beautiful bill you're seeing no tax on over time. Right now your refunds are 15-20% more than they were last year. That's a direct result of President Trump's legislation. Now we need more of it. That's why President Trump needs strong conservatives to make sure that we finish the America First Agenda. It's my belief Dan that he's just getting started right that he's not done with what President Trump's going to be able to accomplish just like we're not done here over my time in the legislature. We've cut Tennessee and statins over four billion dollars right. I'm ready to go to Congress to help President Trump finish the America First Agenda and how do you know that Dan is because I've been doing it here in the state for the past seven years. Republicans have been doing it for the past decade. President Trump needs more Tennessee in DC. As an attorney you must have just cringe-worthy hearing Kataji Brown Jackson and you know the things that she had to say as the Supreme Court was talking about birthright citizenship yesterday. That's right. The one that can't define a woman. The one that can't define a woman. The least qualified Supreme Court justice I believe in the history of our country who can't define a woman now doesn't realize that since China is actually bringing people here, bringing mothers here to have babies here to get birthright citizenship then go back. Right? I don't believe our founders ever intended for the subject of the jurisdiction thereof that's a part of that Supreme Court's case that that was going to happen. That that's what they meant for folks to get US citizenship here in the country by people coming here intentionally to do us harm. There's no way that's what that phrase means. I am a, clearly I'm a talk show host and not a lawyer and is there, we were bouncing this around earlier, is there any other way to tackle that issue that you know of regarding birthright citizenship? I mean like is there another law that we can pass or is there just another another angle that we can go? Well certainly Congress could pass the law. Congress could amend the Constitution but I think President Trump so far has been the only president with a backbone to tackle this straight up with his executive order. He did that day one of his second term in his presidency and that's why we're having this conversation today. That's why he needs more fighters, warriors just like him conservatives to make sure we can push this these types of topics that are important that people want to know what does birthright citizenship mean, what's happening, people that want to kill Americans are taking advantage of that. President Trump's not going to have it. Yeah that's exactly what we're doing but ultimately it'd be amending the Constitution but that's the difficult road to go down as you well know and your listeners well know but President Trump's going to get it done. I've got full faith that he will. We talked about that earlier. Okay you've invoked the name of President Trump number of different times. How important is a endorsement from the President? Oh the endorsement for the President would be great. I mean and it's not just because he's the President right because what he is doing the evidence for the past year and a half of what he's done for America compared to what we saw for four years we had a president that didn't know he was president of Delaware for his love of country. He didn't have to do this. Right. He's a successful businessman. He didn't have to subject himself to what he's doing and look at the accomplishments that he's made. His agenda, the America first agenda is good for America and it's good for Tennesseans. He just needs strong conservatives that has done it here in the state that can help him do it in DC. So obviously you would like an endorsement from President Trump? Absolutely. Yeah. I'd be interested to know. I should ask Matt Van Epps who of course as you know he got the endorsement from the President. The behind the scenes wranglings of how that works would be fascinating. So we keep you updated. I can keep you updated for sure. All right. Did Johnny Garrett thank you very much for joining us. A state rep for the 45th district here in the Tennessee State House part of Sumner County running to replace John Rose in the House of Representatives in the 6th and we'll have you back on again soon. Well thank you very much. Let's make sure we don't put more DC in DC. Let's put a little Tennessee in DC. Dan, thanks for having me. All right. You know, Joan and Chris. Yeah. And Dan. When I say things and it upsets people, I do like to accept full accountability and responsibility for the things that I say that upset people from time to time. And apparently I upset a lot of cat owners when I said that I don't like cats. But I didn't say that I wanted anything to harm to come from cats necessarily. But I got all these people on the text line are like, you've upset thousands of people by you wishing cats dead. I don't want cats dead. I just don't want them near me alive. Also to all the members of the audience that are upset with Dan's just blatant cat hating, the audience is much, much worse. The things that the non cat listeners are saying. Yeah. Far worse than anything Dan said. You know what I used to call cats? Triangle face demons. Wow. If you think about it, that's what they are. They're triangle face demons. It's true. Now, I've never had a cat pee on my shin like my dog has done. Bandit. And you love your dog. I do. I do. To be honest with you, I'm not sure why I somewhere down the road, I just decided that I was not a cat person because I've had cats all my life. And I've never put a cat to sleep. I've never shot a cat. I've never harmed a cat in any way. I just, I've no longer cat person. Just thought about it. By the way, 0458 tell just moving on, not addressing. How dare you tell Chris hand that Matt Murphy enjoys watching him like he enjoys watching a monkey play with his poo. That's nice. Oh, you ever wonder what happens between three and seven? I don't know. When we get these comments is like, what in the world? By the way, did you see that Murphy show shaved off like every single whisker on his face? What? Yeah, it happens every now and again. Why does he do that? I don't know. I'm not saying that he doesn't look good, but I'm saying it's just a, he looks dapper, but it's jarring. It's like the viral videos. I feel like the little kid who doesn't see their dad for a little while and they like to pull down the towel and you're like, Whoa, what is this? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what my wife says about Beards? Have I told you about this? I know, I know, I think I've said it to Joan. My wife says that beers are like a push up bra for men. It's true. It's very, very true. So in fact, I've seen a few fellows. I'm like, guys, just throw that thing out. You're going to look great. So do you know what the conversation was last night in my house? Cause I said, Hey, Matt shaved off his beard. And I said, should I go ahead and shave off mine? Sort of in, in brohood with a Murphy show stand in solidarity, solidarity. You know what she said? God no. Hence, it's a good wife right there. Hence, apparently my beard is my push up bra. Now I don't, I don't know if I should be like insulted or if, um, you know, cause you've, you got nobody, I don't think anybody here has seen me without my beard. So, you know, but it did definitely helps. Yeah. Especially with all the, all the baldness up front. You got a new scally today. Looks sharp. Thank you. What number are you up to? I'm your host Vernon Davis. Okay. Y'all thank you. Thank you. That's enough. Today we have Dietrich wise through my example on the field, off the field during game day in practice. That was one way that I led because then it led to success. Next role isn't about what's next. It's about why they do it. My man, Bobby bones. Like I've had a lot of stuff happen, bad and good. And so I don't have any fear of mixing it up. That's powerful, man. Next role with Vernon Davis. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. I'm up to like nine. Do we need a scally intervention? We might need a scally intervention. Actually, we might. I think so. Do you try to match your scally to your clothing? Okay. You know what Joan is trying to do? I'm just asking exactly what Joan is trying to do because I just told matches today. Look how nice it matches. I told Chris hand the story that I told you earlier, Joe. Okay. If you're watching Superdoc TV, the coordination is on fire and fray go. I kids still say fleek. Is that still happening? Fleek. What is fleek? Is that a thing? It was like very cool. Right, Sam, back me up. Sam knows. Sam's not here. It's Mason. We did the trade off earlier. All right, whatever. The kids still say fleek. No, that's two years old. Jeez. You're really out of it, Chris. Did they still say flock? What? Excuse me? Drop the L real quick. No, I didn't. The L was right there. I'm just saying. You should drop the L. That's probably a little more common. It was a hard R. Hard L. No, so I do. I do try to coordinate my scallies with my shirt and so forth. I do. It's an art form, actually. It is. I told Amy that I am now, what I'm doing is I'm on the lookout for specific colors of scallies so that I can, because I've got shirts that I want to wear and I want to wear a scally with it. So there you go. Hey, earlier we were talking about 9421. Were we? What did I shoot? I shoot cats on a daily basis. Come on, man. Stop it. Trevor says, you have a beard, Dan. You know what? When I'm talking to Joan and Chris, the text line is just exploding with insults. Dan's got like the five o'clock shadow beard. I do. It's like you're rocking like the razor Ramon from back in the day. It's exactly right. Do you know why I do that? Because it itches if it gets too thick. You're not going to go full weaver? Weave? No, I could not do a full weaves. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't because it would drive me nuts. He's been on vacation, right? He has. He's off probably killing innocent turtles like he does. You ever heard him talk about killing the turtles? If you don't kill them when they're young, they'll grow up to be ninjas. I'm just saying, when he worked on the morning show and he told me how he heartlessly will kill turtles to, I guess, fish or whatever it is, I was like, why would you do that? And oddly enough, nobody seemed to care about the turtles, but everybody seems to care about the fact that I don't like cats today. Well, you're not fishing with the cat guts, right? You're fishing with the turtle. Do you want the background on Operation Acoustic Kitty? Acoustic Kitty? Sure. That's what it was called. It was from the 1960s. This was when the CIA wired that cat. Yeah. CIA operatives wanted to bug an Asian head of state. So, I mean, probably the cat is the wrong route to go. You know what I'm saying? But what are you saying, Chris? I'm saying, you know, you know. So headquarters thought about cats wandering in and out of the meeting area, and they thought, why not wire a feline field agent with an ear microphone and a skull transmitter, because that's just the natural thing that you do. So they produced a three-quarter inch transmitter to embed into the loose skin at the base of the cat's skull, and then a microphone was placed in the ear canal, and the antenna was woven into the cat's long fur. According to the wizards of Langley, the tail was used as the antenna, but getting the Acoustic Kitty to follow orders was where it all kind of fell apart. Okay. The kitty walked off the job and was hungry. Had to go find some milk and a saucer. The kitty probably, there was like a government shutdown, and they decided not to pay the kitty, and the kitty said, you know, heck with this, and off he went. Gonna go find some milk and a saucer. Gonna go find some milk and a saucer. By the way, I'm now being accused of being CNN, because I said that 9421 said that he shoots cats, and then I stopped there, because there's all these texts that are coming in. 9421 says this, I shoot cats on a daily basis. Yes. They use the bathroom in my boat or my garden. They pay the ultimate price. A cat is the only animal that knows their crap stinks so bad they have to bury it. Then he says, read the entire text, Dan, you're no better than CNN. Just reading the headlines. I'm just reading the headlines, man. 9421, that's all I'm doing. Apparently Murphy texted us. So yesterday, you know, in relation to the watching Chris Hand is like watching monkeys throw poo. Apparently he said, I don't hate people who deny we have been to the moon. In fact, I like talking with them, kind of like I enjoy going to the zoo and watching the monkeys throw poo. Ask, hey, Matt, why did you shave your beard? That's what I want to know. Why did Murphy show? Yeah, he's absolutely deflecting. Yeah, he's deflecting, you know, talking about monkeys throwing poo with why he decided to shave his beard. It just, you know what, I'm gonna be honest with you, it felt a little random. Do you think he just messed it up trying to line that thing up? Well, that's what happens to me all the time. Yeah, he's just like ask, screw it. Yeah. Sometimes it's an emotional response. Like something happens in your life and you go, I got to get rid of the beard. I think Murphy should go mustache only for a while. He did. He did day before yesterday. Now, why I'm so invested in this, I don't know. But the day before yesterday, he had a, I'm gonna say he had kind of like a porn stash, but it was like a Spaniard porn stash. That's no good. That's no good. Are you sure? I'm very sure. What's no good? My description of the Spanish porn stash? Yeah, I don't like just the, the Justice Stash and no beard. No, I feel like he could go full Tom Selleck. You know what, he could go full Tom Selleck. I think he could get away with it. If you're 70, yeah. Well, here's what I want. I want, see he's now, now Murphy is texting, right? We're getting the dancing dots. You better text fast Murphy show, because we're about off the air. Let's see here, 88, 97. Tell Mandis to look at the Boston Scali company. That is where actually, by all my, my Scali caps is a Boston Scali company. My name is Bruce, by the way, longtime listener. Thank you, Brooks. Murphy has butt chin. What did the hell goes on in the afternoons? Murphy has butt chin. What does that even mean? That was coined by Jackson Williams. Of course it was. I love Jackson. It's so good. Butt chin. Well, now I've got to go relook at that video of yesterday of Murphy's show without his beard on. They talk about it right at the beginning of the show. Oh, really? Okay. Very good. Well, Murphy's texting too slow, so I can't, I'm not going to find out. We're not going to be able to tell the audience why it is that he... T.B. text and he goes, I got enough Murphy from three to seven. Don't let him infect your show also. Let's see here, 93, 11. Did we even go to the moon yesterday? Didn't we just go near it? Yeah, we didn't go to the moon yesterday. 93, 11. I, we've explained this a number of different times during the radio broadcast today. We went to the dark side of the moon, or at least that's where we're going and we're just testing... Full Pink Floyd. Going full on Pink Floyd. And so we're going to test out the equipment and we're going to see how the astronauts, you know, from a human standpoint, body standpoint, physiological standpoint, deal with being that close to the moon and the radiation and all that. We'll get a phone call once they get there. I think that the phone booth that they left behind is still there. So it'll be a landline call. Did you hear what Tim Burchett said yesterday? Yes. On top of the Matt Gaetz comments? On top of the Matt about, about, what are they like, like combining humans and aliens, basically is what they're doing so that we can communicate with the aliens? It's called Nephilim, Dan. Nephilim, that's right. Fallen Angels and Humans Mating. I know, I got a full thing on that earlier. Did you? I, but from Sam and Joan, yeah. Dan, it's Nephilim. What are you, an idiot? I'm not sorry. It's just demons. The listeners were pretty, they were well versed on it as well. It's just you, Dan. All right. So Matt has said this regarding the reason why he shaved off his beard and then we're going to move on. He says, when the world is hurting and in need, sometimes it gets my entire face as a gift. I do this for you, Dan. Wow. You know what's so funny? He spent like five minutes texting that out. That's what it took so long with those stupid dancing dots. Anyway, whatever. It was a long time of the bubbles. The moon is made up of Swiss cheese and spare ribs. That's what I said yesterday. Nobody believed me. Anyway, so I believe that we've already started doing the whole, with Nephilim? Nephilim. So I think we've already started doing that. That's what Nancy Pelosi is. We started doing this years ago. Or Katija Brown Jackson. Or, I mean, who else on the left could be Nephilimistic? Nephilimistic. The Rage and Cajun. Who's that? James Carville. James Carville. There's definitely some mating with a crocodile in there. Steve Cohen. Okay. Chicken Eaton Steve Cohen. You and I've said this before. Steve Cohen looks exactly like the monster from the Black Lagoon. So in the context of mating humans and aliens, Steve Cohen is a Nephilimistic. He is Nephilimistic. Steve Cohen. Because last time I said this about Steve Cohen looking like a monster from the Black Lagoon, people put it together and people said, Mandus, you're not as much of an idiot as we thought you were. You're a professional dot connector. That's exactly what, uh... Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
