Olive Garden, folks, becomes unlikely face of voter ID after restaurant policy goes viral. I don't know if you guys saw this tweet or not, so I retweeted it. If you wanna go to Twitter, and just go to my Twitter account, you should find it easily. Just go to it. So, Olive Garden, you guys know this is one of those restaurants that is on their last lifeline. Like they're barely, honesty. They're barely trying to make it. But after this, I may have to take my family to just go to Olive Garden once, just to support them. Can you go on their Tweet first, please? Can you go on their Tweet? Because they're responding to somebody. Go up. Yeah, so there you go.
So, zoom in a little bit. What you need to know about the Pasta Pass sale starts tomorrow.
So then, Super Womario asks a question, are you able to order pasta for family using this Pasta Pass, or that exclusively for the person with the card at the table? I don't know about you, but it would be really weird with just one person having unlimited pasta while everyone awkwardly waits. And this is what Olive Garden said. No, the never-ending pasta pass is only for use of the pass holder whose name is printed on the pass. Passes are personalized and non-transferable. Pass holders must present a what? A valid photo ID along with the pass at the time of ordering. Is it?
**Tom** (1:26)
That's from Olive Garden. We had to translate that from German. See, never-ending pasta is only for the pass holder.
**Patrick Bet-David** (1:33)
Now, keep in mind, okay, I don't know what that meant, but keep this in mind.
**Vinny** (1:36)
Tom, you were doing so good today on the jokes, Tom.
**Patrick Bet-David** (1:39)
So when you read this, you kind of sit in there saying, wait a minute, I need an ID to get this unlimited pasta because it's so important, but I don't need an ID to be able to vote for president.
**Vinny** (1:53)
No.
**Patrick Bet-David** (1:54)
Can you imagine? What's more important, Vinny, pasta or president?
**Vinny** (1:56)
Pat, have you ever tried the... It's really pasta, right? I mean...
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:00)
By the way, now here's the other thing. What percentage of Democrats you think support voter ID for Americans?
What percentage of Democrats, according to a CNN poll, what percentage of Democrats? Can you pull up that video?
**Vinny** (2:15)
You know which one I'm talking about?
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:18)
Both of you guys, I want you to guess.
**Vinny** (2:19)
72%.
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:19)
Go ahead.
**Vinny** (2:20)
Or 60 Yeah.
I think 70% of Democrats think that ID should be needed to vote. 70%.
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:28)
Okay, so check this out. Right there, play that clip, please. Just play that clip, okay?
**Harry** (2:34)
85% of white people favorite, 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this, voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race.
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:52)
The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. But Harry, respectfully, you can pause it right there. Respectfully, Harry, which party is trying to make it controversial?
Because that's the other poll, not the Republican Party. The Democratic Party, like Newsome and others, are trying to make that controversial, that even blacks are saying, why shouldn't I be able to get an ID? I can get an ID. Hispanics, I can get an ID.
But the Democratic Party says, no, no, you can't. Don't say that. It's very hard for you. So kudos to Olive Garden. They accidentally, if you were to bet and see Olive Garden politically, the person who tweeted it, which way do you think they lean politically?
**Vinny** (3:38)
Republican.
**Patrick Bet-David** (3:39)
No, the person that tweeted Olive Garden, that's a 19-year-old social media coordinator that's probably tweeting that back and giving the details. It's like a 22-year-old song like that.
**Tom** (3:47)
Well, it could be 85%.
**Vinny** (3:49)
Well, Pat, maybe Olive Garden should run the voting system in the country. Well, that you vote and they give you a handful of pasta or a meatball.
**Tom** (3:56)
So like a national day off to vote and free lunch.
**Vinny** (3:59)
Free lunch. Dude, Olive Garden should take over and run the voting.
**Patrick Bet-David** (4:05)
It would happen in one day too and everybody would get fat. So Adam, what do you have with this? By the way, when's the last time all of you guys had Olive Garden? Honestly, when's the last time you ate at Olive Garden?
