ALEX SWOYER (CO-HOST): Well, Republicans attacking each other isn't a good look, especially when they have someone like James Talarico that they should go, you know, they should be laser focused on. Let's — speaking of him, he proved that he's no step up from Crockett and has all of us question just how closely he's read the Bible.
...
CHRIS PLANTE (HOST): Well, I mean, he's already known as Telefreako. And the videos of this guy doing these pseudo-sermons, these left-wing fake religion sermons. He said that God is non-binary, God is non-binary, that men get pregnant and will need abortions at taxpayer expense, and he uses fake sermons and fake passages from the Bible, tortured and misrepresented — misrepresentations from the Bible. And honestly, it's God is non-binary and that the Bible clears the path for abortion and men get pregnant because there is no gender. And when we open the borders -- he's an open borders guy -- and let's have seven and a half billion people coming to the United States and go on welfare, presumably in Minnesota. This guy is a freak. I've got to say, Jasmine Crockett might be less insane than Talarico.
