Olive Garden Requires Photo ID for Pasta — but Not Voting? | 7/20/26

Olive Garden Requires Photo ID for Pasta — but Not Voting? | 7/20/26

Author: Blaze Podcast Network July 20, 2026 Duration: 1:40:47
You need to see this before the next election: Olive Garden just exposed the hypocrisy on election security in the funniest way possible. The White House roasted Democrats after Olive Garden announced that its $100 Never-Ending Pasta Pass requires a valid photo ID every single time of use. The passes are personalized, non-transferable, and strictly enforced. Yet the same people who think that’s perfectly reasonable fight like hell against basic voter ID for actual elections. Pat tears into the double standard and shows why this one hits so hard. Regular Americans live with common sense every day — you need an ID to buy beer, fly on a plane, check into a hotel, or pick up medicine. But somehow proving who you are to vote is treated like an impossible burden by some politicians. This Olive Garden pasta pass ID policy perfectly proves the elite hypocrisy and institutional failure we have all been seeing. Pat also covered: AOC is back and backing El-Sayed for Congress. Congrats to Spain for taking the W on the FIFA World Cup. Another round of attacks against Iran — what’s next? Is John Fetterman about to switch to the GOP? Van Jones is COMPLETELY done with the progressive Democrats. Do you think a restaurant should have stricter rules than our polling places? What’s the most ridiculous “no ID required” situation you have seen lately? Drop it in the comments.
