Transcript

[Todd Chrisley]

Welcome to Chrisley Confessions 2.0. Crazy morning already.

[Julie Chrisley]

Crazy morning.

[Todd Chrisley]

I mean, Savannah's on the View today.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I got up this morning before you. Well, actually you got up first because you took Chloe to school.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

Then you came.

[Julie Chrisley]

I got up real early. I got up at 4:30 this morning. I don't know what in the world. Usually I wake up around like 3am and there's something I need to do some research because there's something about when people wake up around 3am I don't know. I've seen it before, but normally it's three now. It was 4:15 this morning and I was just kind of on and off until I got up for the day.

[Todd Chrisley]

I wonder if that's the time that I start feeling like somebody's touching me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay. No, it's not okay.

[Todd Chrisley]

That might be around four, doing it myself, but. So you got up, took Chloe to school, came back, got back on the bed.

[Julie Chrisley]

We actually to Starbucks first.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

And I brought you your drink.

[Todd Chrisley]

My Soy Chat even before folks.

[Julie Chrisley]

Then as I am taking her to school, he calls me and says yes, yeah, that would be great. And I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, yeah, that. You said you're going to get me Starbucks. And I was like, I already had it. He didn't know. So Chloe wanted Starbucks. We went and got Starbucks this morning.

[Todd Chrisley]

I do that to her folks all the time. I'll say, julie, that is so nice of you. And she goes, why? You just said. You just asked me if I wanted so much, Todd, I didn't ask you that, Julie. You just. And she sits standing and look, thanks

[Julie Chrisley]

to herself, he makes me think I'm crazy. And that doesn't take much these days.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, either way I appreciate it.

[Julie Chrisley]

So I got up to Chloe's school, went to Starbucks, came back home, I took the dog out.

[Todd Chrisley]

The new dog again, not our dog from the trainer, not our dog.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I took her out this morning. She did good overnight. So that was good. Took her out, then fed her, took her back out.

[Todd Chrisley]

But I thought you told me you were not going to do this again.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know, but I. I don't know why I keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome. And you know what they say.

[Todd Chrisley]

And here's the thing. This is the second French bulldog that our family has had.

[Julie Chrisley]

Actually the third because my mom had one too.

[Todd Chrisley]

But that's not. Don't really count because I mean we didn't deal with her little fat dog.

[Julie Chrisley]

But she. She Took care of her dog.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yeah. But until it came time for the vet be on this, she's like, no, she got to die.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's not true. She took care of her dog to the end, honey.

[Todd Chrisley]

But you know, we had Lelo, which was Chase's dog, then we ended up getting her.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

And she passed away when we were on our summer retreat.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Which was so hard because I really felt that. Because I don't really want animals in my house and I'm not an animal person, but I fell in love with this dog. Would you agree?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. I mean, it was, it was, it was. That was a tough one.

[Todd Chrisley]

I would go out on. I would go out on our back porch in the mornings and I'd sit there and I'd be on my laptop and she was right at my feet. Wherever I went, she followed. Same with you.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And so that was hard to lose her. And then Chase ends up a year later, 15 months later, he ends up now with another one, a long haired. Is that what she's called?

[Julie Chrisley]

I think a long hair. French.

[Todd Chrisley]

Long haired. Frenchie or whatever. Millie. And I don't know what it is that we, we. We've just gotten lucky because this dog is smart. I mean, he sent her to training.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

And they taught her the code word is talk, Millie, talk. And she will sit there and start barking at you.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, she was.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's the funniest.

[Julie Chrisley]

But the thing that Chase has to realize is that he has to reinforce it. That's what they were saying yesterday when we went to pick her up. Like it's a learned behavior, like a child. You keep it up. And you know, right now. And she was good. Like she would go get in her bed, she would stay, you know, she. You can take her outside, tell her to empty and she goes to the bathroom. That's amazing. But you have to keep it up. So I guess that's why I took her out this morning. To try to do the right.

[Todd Chrisley]

To make your future job easier.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

I got.

[Julie Chrisley]

Basically so. Basically. So I did that.

[Todd Chrisley]

You did that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Then I made two different chicken salads this morning.

[Todd Chrisley]

Okay, you're getting ahead of yourself. This is not going to be an episode about everything you've done for the day.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, but I made two different chicken salads this morning. I had, I made some chicken last night. So did that. That you were happy with?

[Todd Chrisley]

Very much so.

[Julie Chrisley]

Liked it. And then we were rushing around trying to get ready so we could watch the view before we had to come.

[Todd Chrisley]

She, of course, couldn't get the TV and above her bathtub on. And she kept telling me, just talking to the remote control and it wasn't doing whatever I need to do is

[Julie Chrisley]

a little weird, but.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I just said, to hell with it. And so I went in. In the family room and put it on.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because my daughter.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Was so pretty today on the View.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, I was very hesitant about her going on there. I actually wasn't. I don't think hesitant's the right word. You didn't want. I did not want her to do it. And I have never had a problem with Whoopi ever, ever, ever. She's always been very kind to us, always been very supportive, and I've always liked her. I don't know the other women on there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I don't know. Sunny. I don't know. Joy. I don't know the other two. Anna. And the other one.

[Julie Chrisley]

Sarah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Sarah and Sarah. I watched today, and I actually thought she came across as sweet. Now, I don't know, folks, if that's just them trying to lead my daughter, the little lamb, to slaughter, but my little lamb is also very good at slaughtering.

[Julie Chrisley]

She looked so good. She had her yellow on. And what's yellow? Isn't that, like friendship? Isn't that a sign of friendship? The color yellow, I just think it

[Todd Chrisley]

reminds me of butter. Well, you know, butter and sunshine.

[Julie Chrisley]

We used to always say in real estate, it makes. Yellow is the perfect color for a kitchen because it makes a fat person think of butter and a skinny person think of sunshine.

[Todd Chrisley]

Let's see. There you go. Yeah. So, you know, see the.

[Julie Chrisley]

The color yellow. What it. Because I think there was some thought behind that, actually.

[Todd Chrisley]

Really?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

So she wore yellow as a kind of like, I come in peace.

[Julie Chrisley]

Peace. Yellow represents optimism, happiness, and energy. That was perfect. Okay, we're gonna say it anyway. We're gonna say she planned it.

[Todd Chrisley]

Whether she did. Whether she did that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. We're gonna say it was completely planned out.

[Todd Chrisley]

But she did great today. The ladies on there were, you know.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I sensed a little something from one or two. From two of them, you know, that

[Julie Chrisley]

they think you expected on that show. I don't think you go on that show and think that it's going to be, you know, Wednesday night prayer group, you know, like, everybody's gonna be, you

[Todd Chrisley]

know, but it shouldn't be bad, you know, a bash either. I think that when you're dealing with the View, you know, I felt that Whoopi was very respectful.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

I felt Sarah was. Joey, I think, is just Dismissive.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because it's not what she wants to hear.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Sunny, you know, she gave a little bit of side eye.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But you know, she. She's been respectful thus far.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I just. I. I'm just not gonna get down in the gutter and. And talk about these women because then. Then I'm doing the same thing that everybody else is complaining about them.

[Julie Chrisley]

And at the end of the day, this is an amazing experience for her. You know, this is one of those moments, you know, like, I co hosted the View for a week.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, I mean, you know, you and I agree to disagree.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. I think it's a great experience for her because you know what I. We all know that we grow when we. We don't grow when we're in an environment that everyone thinks the same as us. And it's a comfortable. We grow in those moments that are hard. We grow in those moments when we're with people who don't see things the way we.

[Todd Chrisley]

But I've always said that. I've always said that. I just said that this past week, sitting at our dining room table, that you don't learn from sitting in a room full of people that say the exact same thing you're saying.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But it's also hard to learn when you're in a room of people who refuse to hear your version of it or your perception of something.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. But that's just. It is what. That is what it is. And those, Those women, I mean, let's face it, Joy, Sunny, Whoopi, you're not going to. I mean, you know, that's like saying you're going to change.

[Todd Chrisley]

No, but. But here's the thing. I.

[Julie Chrisley]

At your age, and you believe the way you believe, you're just not at.

[Todd Chrisley]

But here's the thing. I don't need you to change.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I need you to be. To be respect, respectful of the fact that I don't believe the way you believe. And that doesn't make me a monster, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no, not at all.

[Todd Chrisley]

So that's all I'm saying.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And again, I'm not going to ever say anything about Whoopi because, you know, I've always loved her. I had been with Whoopi, as she said today on the show, when she was talking about the men she's been with. Y' all all know what men I've laid down with, because he has been on the Inquirer and everything else. I know, too. So, I mean, it was a little

[Julie Chrisley]

crazy to see when we were actually on The View back in what was 2015. Oh, my gosh. And Chase and Savannah were so young.

[Todd Chrisley]

What be said, you were a baby then.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, I just think that if there's one thing that I hope that people take away from our family so far at this. At this part of the journey that we're on called life, is that there is redemption.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

There is restoration.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that has happened because literally, we're living a Joseph moment right now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, I look at what those that came against us and the weapon they formed was for our destruction, and look at how that's come back on them.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Look what those people are going through now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Look at the jobs that have been lost. Look at the people who are now getting ready. They're being sued. Look at all of that stuff. And I just feel like that, you know, to see her there today, because I have very little in common with any of the views on the View and would love the opportunity to sit at the end of that table.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But to watch my daughter, who is a young woman, 28 years old, who has carried across. She carried across. And to see her sit there and just shine. Yeah. To see the joy in her life and in her eyes, to know that she's at probably the happiest place she's ever been in her life. And, folks, God has a wicked sense of humor. That's a blessing. Yeah, that's a blessing.

[Julie Chrisley]

[Todd Chrisley]

And you know, I think that because you know, Savannah and I, you, as we've said, Savannah and I don't see eye to eye on everything.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I do see. I think I'm more liberal than Savannah is. Savannah's more die hard.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I kind of fall right in that middle area. You know, I've always been in that middle area. And as she tells me, because you want to play it safe, you want to ride the fence.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that's what she said. And I said no. But I also don't believe that my opinion matters more than anyone else's.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I'm not. And I don't have to.

[Julie Chrisley]

You have to.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's 28.

[Julie Chrisley]

You were her age. I'm sure you.

[Todd Chrisley]

When I was her age, I was way More liberal.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. And you were way more. But you were way more opinionated, too. You've learned over a. You know, with age time.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yes.

[Julie Chrisley]

That you don't have to always be heard. And it's not going to change how you feel. It's not going to change your opinion. And so age has a way of just doing that, and life has a way of doing that to you. So it's fine. She's going to be fine.

[Todd Chrisley]

She. Listen, she's. She's better than fine. So I was very proud of her today. We'll see what tomorrow, folks. Wednesday brings this week and Thursday and Friday and Saturday, because she's also doing the Weekend View.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

So.

[Julie Chrisley]

Which is. That's like a streaming. Right. Isn't that.

[Todd Chrisley]

I think so. It's all pop culture.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Yeah. Which I would love that. See, I would be good at that. I am good at pop culture.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, you all are good at that because y' all like the gossip.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, but I would be good at that.

[Todd Chrisley]

So I would say they love the gossip. They just hate when somebody gossips about us. Me, on the other hand, I stay away from that shit.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't. I don't mind it. Because you know what? Like you said, and we've always said this, we put ourselves out there. We signed up for it. Now, did we know what we were signing up for when we signed up? No, but we continue to do it. We continue to feed into it to a certain degree. So you know what? It is, what it is.

[Todd Chrisley]

I want. I want to go on the record of kind of where we as a family stand on these Epstein files. You and I have had our private conversations, and, you know, so. So many people have come to me on social media and said, your silence is deafening about these Epstein files. What do you want me to say to you that has not already been said?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

If you don't believe what a gazillion other people have said, how am I going to change your opinion? And why would I want to if you believe this is just my opinion?

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay,

[Todd Chrisley]

they're all guilty as hell. But just because your name ended up in that damn list could have. Well, I mean, a prime example is the Ghislaine Maxwell. What? Carol Radswell. Wasn't she the one that was on the Housewives of New York? Her name was in there. Right, but she was communicating with someone else on Ghislaine's behalf about doing a photo shoot for a book. Right, but now her name's been thrown up as on the Epstein list.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? So you can't say every one of them is guilty. You just said everybody's guilty.

[Todd Chrisley]

I said I think they're all guilty as hell. But just because your name's in there doesn't mean you're guilty of anything.

[Julie Chrisley]

You're not saying they're all. You're saying there are many who are guilty.

[Todd Chrisley]

Exactly.

[Julie Chrisley]

Who, who did wrong in many ways.

[Todd Chrisley]

Red and blue.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. But just because your name is in there, does it mean you were. Did something wrong?

[Todd Chrisley]

Exactly. And so my thing is that we know what it's like to be falsely accused. We know what it's like to have people to tell lies on us.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

So folks, I'm going to reserve that. I'm not going to cast that judgment.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I'm just going to say that if you go out on a Friday night and you have a fight, that's bad luck. You go out on Saturday, you get another fight. Damn, we need to look at this. You go out on Sunday night and get in a fight, you are the cause of the fight.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

So if your name keeps popping up on some shady shit that even remotely gets close to a child.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I got at that point.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. I think the bottom line is, is that we will never condone any. Anybody being hurt or abused.

[Todd Chrisley]

Forget being a child.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't want any human being hurt a child.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you know where I stand on that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. So. Absolutely.

[Todd Chrisley]

So I just want to.

[Julie Chrisley]

I think it's very convoluted because there's so much. There's so much to it.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, Sunny said millions, Sonny said today, and so many of. Of my people are going to disagree. What I'm getting ready to say, Sonny said today there's 6 million documents.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But there's only been 3 million released.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

She has a point there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

If we're going to be transparent, dump all that shit out there on the table for in the streets.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

The taxpayers deserve to know. Show it. Show everything about our case. Dump it out there in the streets. Let the world know it. Because right now, if they put all of our shit out there, you're going to expose two former U.S. attorneys, an FBI agent, an IRS agent. Put it all out there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? But I think that the, the tricky part comes with putting it all out there and nothing being redacted is you do have these victims.

[Todd Chrisley]

So already released documents with these victims names in it. So at this point, it's. The redaction doesn't. Doesn't mean jack. Fuck. Because you've already put the names out there, you've already released in these 3,000 documents.

[Julie Chrisley]

Three million.

[Todd Chrisley]

Three million documents. You've already released victims names.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

So at that point, and you've got victims coming out saying, you put our name out there. Well, now their name's out there. So then what's the excuse of holding it back? Yeah, let's just put it out there.

[Julie Chrisley]

It's just a.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, it's a.

[Julie Chrisley]

It's a complicated, convoluted. And like we just said earlier, it's been going on for so long.

[Todd Chrisley]

I mean, and again, I. I'm stealing some of the bullet points today from the View because, you know, I'm not a fan of Sunny. I think that Sonny just finds she wants to be negative about everything. But that's some people's personality. And again, how did she get to be that to that point in her life? What has happened with her? Because she used to be in it with the doj. So she's seen some shady shit.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

She knows how this stuff works behind the scenes, and she acknowledged that today.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But my thing is, is that you cannot get to the bottom of Anything unless there's 100% transparency, folks, who are we trying. Whose feelings are we trying to save at this point? I mean, if you're going to accuse me of something, then I need you to prove that. Because now you've just said, oh, his name is in the Epstein files. Bring it to the floor, bring it to Congress. Show the documents, release it, and show why you think I did something wrong.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

To me, it's far worse to be implicated than it is for the facts to come out. Because if you did nothing wrong, you should not want to live under the implication of impropriety. You should be welcoming these documents to come out.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I watched a thing. I'm not a Clinton fan. You know that. Although my mother was. My mother had the. I think my Bill Clinton was the only man that my mother had the hot spot, you know, outside of my daddy. I find it ironic, not. Not even ironic, just hypocritical that a subpoena was sent for Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Regarding the Epstein files. They fought at every step of the way, right? Did not want anything to do with it and literally did not show up.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

Now look at Steve Bannon.

[Julie Chrisley]

But didn't they eventually testify?

[Todd Chrisley]

Who?

[Julie Chrisley]

Hill, Bill.

[Todd Chrisley]

And no, they haven't.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay?

[Todd Chrisley]

Look at Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro. Look at the people that refused to go and testify.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

Republicans went to prison for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Steve Bannon went four months to Prison for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Rather than testify.

[Todd Chrisley]

Rather than to testify. Well, he didn't testify.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And because of that, the DOJ prosecuted him.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Under the Biden administration, they prosecuted him.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I'm not quite sure why. Under this administration, we're not prosecuting any fucker that refuses to show up for a subpoena. Red, white or purple. If you get a subpoena. You and I both know with a subpoena, we're not attorneys, but we know we have to show up.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

How many depositions in our case did we get served a subpoena through our attorney that we had to show up far?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

There, folks, that's not a thing that you can say, I'm not doing it. But now, this morning.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I guess you can, unless they hold you in contempt for it. Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But now, this morning, Hillary's. All of it was crazy. I literally thought I was going to lose my. The other day, she's in Munich. She's there on a panel, and she's talking about that under her husband's administration and under Obama's administration that they deported more illegal immigrants than this administration has, but they did it in a more humane, humane manner. But you just said that your husband and Obama deported more immigrants with less force. I can go with that because I don't believe in harming anyone, period. I don't believe we ought to be putting our hands on anyone. Do I believe in law and order? I do. Do I believe. First of all, ICE was established. It's bipartisan. It was established by agreement on both sides or wouldn't have passed.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Only when corruption is. It's getting close to bubbling to the top. Do politicians want to start trying to push it, playing whack a mole, trying to push it back down. But she's over there talking, bragging about all the illegal immigrants that they deported under their administration and that it's a problem, folks, she says this. Go look it up. Immigration is a huge issue. It went bad. It went wrong. Way wrong. These are her words, and we need to correct it, but in a more humane manner.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I agree with that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Todd Chrisley]

I agree with that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

But now this morning, she comes out and says, listen, Bill and I are all for, you know, transparency. We have no problem testifying. I mean, I have limited knowledge. I don't even think I've met the man. You also don't think that you was involved in the Russia hoax. You also don't remember your computers being destroyed. So my thing is, is that let's drop the hypocrisy bullshit on both sides. Let's just drop it on both sides. If you did it, you did it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

If you didn't, stand up and say you didn't.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And then say, you know what, you have falsely accused me of something, you either prove it or I'm going to sue you for slander and defamation of character.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

It's that simple.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And yeah, but we got so much corruption in that swamp to where this one did a favor 25 years ago for this one that now needs one and back so that people are willing

[Julie Chrisley]

to go to prison for it.

[Todd Chrisley]

People are killing for it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. And kill them. Yeah. It's bad. So I just, it's, it's, it's, it's crazy. Okay, guys, it's 2026 and we gotta start cooking like it's 2026. And if you have a non stick pan, you're trading real cooking performance for convenience. It can't get hot enough.

I just find it still so hard to believe that nobody saw anything, that nobody captured anything. I mean, yes, we have the at the door, but at the door where you know, he was messing with the ring camera, all that stuff. But between cameras on the streets, I mean, we have cameras, but those cameras

[Todd Chrisley]

that are on the streets do not. They only record traffic pattern. They do not record video.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

It's traffic patterns to regulate the.

[Julie Chrisley]

Between that and other people's ring cameras, I just find it hard to believe that no one caught anything, saw anything.

[Todd Chrisley]

I but I've done my research on that. All of these homes on her street sit back from the road, so they've got a deep front yard.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know they have lots of foliage and that kind of stuff. I know. But it just, in this day and time, it's just hard to believe that nobody saw Anything.

[Todd Chrisley]

I. My heart breaks for anyone going through this. I don't understand how the subscription was not paid for.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, I don't understand like, because you

[Todd Chrisley]

pay mama's bills every day.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay, yeah. This is what I don't understand though. It's.

[Todd Chrisley]

And y' all ain't stealing my little mama because we got her under lock. We got her on lockdown.

[Julie Chrisley]

Now if. If it was about money, where's the demand? And these demand letters were legitimate. Okay, then to me, and I'm just. I'm just speaking here in a twisted mind. If you were kidnapped, if you kidnap somebody for money with a demand letter and they didn't meet that demand, then it seems like to me you would have sent something to either say that she was no longer here with us or something to show like, okay, I am. I did what I said I was going to do. But I don't really think they know if the ransoms are because to me, here's the thing.

[Todd Chrisley]

The ransom is not from the rent. These ransom requests are not from the people who have her.

[Julie Chrisley]

The first one was, but then there was another one that wanted the one bitcoin for to say who was involved or the people involved. So it was. Is two different originators of these ransoms. There originally was a ransom and that was kind of vague and like, you know, they did one and then they extended it and did another one. Okay, we're going to give you to this time. And then nothing ever happened. And then the other is saying, give me a bitcoin and I will.

[Todd Chrisley]

And he just saw her five days ago with people.

[Julie Chrisley]

With people. More than.

[Todd Chrisley]

More than one.

[Julie Chrisley]

More than one person. So it just. I don't.

[Todd Chrisley]

I don't understand.

[Julie Chrisley]

It just. It seems so weird because to me, nothing. What else would you want an 84 year old woman other than for rants for ransom? I think I'm gonna get some quick money out of this. Get the money, be done with it, leave her on the side of the road or whatever you're gonna do. But it's not. It's turning into so much more than that. And I don't understand it.

[Todd Chrisley]

It's baffling to me. And you know who I can't stand?

[Julie Chrisley]

Who?

[Todd Chrisley]

Is that damn sheriff out there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, he is.

[Todd Chrisley]

He reminds me of some that would work for the bop. That's who he reminds me of. Probably somebody who thinks they know more than what they know.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And Eric, he's arrogant.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

When the FBI. This is the FBI now. Granted, FBI in our case was corrupt, but it's all we got to work with, folks.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

When the FBI stepped in, he should have stepped out because his ass is incompetent. He don't know this is the biggest things ever happened.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right, Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

He should have stepped to the side and said, you know what to say. My reputation and my department's reputation, we're going to hand this off to you.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

Rather than him think he's going to hold on and be a control freak.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Because they sent the glove for the DNA to his lab. Lab in Florida, rather than send it to Quantico.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. He reminds me of them of Albert Cheatham at Pensacola. Well, you know, just. It's just the sexual charges.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't understand that because now it's got to still go through the FBI to be verified. So you could have cut a whole step out. And a day or an hour could mean the difference between life.

[Todd Chrisley]

But even that whole story is baffling. You find one black glove two miles away. Miles away. And then along with all these other blue gloves that the guys that. With the sheriff's partner was just discarding.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Or they broke a law right there. They should not be throwing trash on the ground.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you find this one glove.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know, it's weird. That's very.

[Todd Chrisley]

That is baffling to me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Very weird. I think they need to be tracking down because they have said this. This backpack came from Walmart.

[Todd Chrisley]

How many people buy backpacks at Walmart?

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't care. They said they can. They can figure out, like, where it came from.

[Todd Chrisley]

They figured out who that came from Walmart. Yeah, but that ain't helping us when there was millions of them sold.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know. I don't. It's just. It's just crazy. I just. Oh, my God. It would be. I just. I feel so bad for all of them.

[Todd Chrisley]

But now.

[Julie Chrisley]

So that would be just like. Like the not knowing is the worst part.

[Todd Chrisley]

But now you're seeing all this stuff that's going on in the news and y' all have bitched at me for years about being overly paranoid.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know.

[Todd Chrisley]

Look at some of the things that I've been overly paranoid about that is coming to fruition.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know.

[Todd Chrisley]

And now. And now my mother is afraid. She's afraid to be by herself now. So, you know, I don't understand.

[Julie Chrisley]

Coming to an end.

[Todd Chrisley]

So she's. That's coming to an end.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's moving into our new house with us. She has her own little wing to where she will be on her side. Folks, I have to Tell y' all this. So we were talking about it the other night, and I said, mama, you know, you have your own wing of the house. You know, you'll have your space. And she goes, it's still walking distance to you, and that's too close.

[Julie Chrisley]

She did say that.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I said. She said, if it was just me and Julie, I said, well, Julie can live on your side of the house with you.

[Julie Chrisley]

You. No, she means just me and her.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. That's what she said. She said, no, just me and Julie in the house. But. So that is coming to an end. But I don't understand, because we are so on top of everything with her, and Savannah's in New York, but the sisters around the corner. How is that ring doorbell subscription not paid to be recording full time?

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't. I don't know.

[Todd Chrisley]

So, I mean, that is a problem.

[Julie Chrisley]

It is, but, you know, I'm.

[Todd Chrisley]

It.

[Julie Chrisley]

Things happen and things get overlooked.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yeah, but things can't be getting overlooked when it comes to my mama.

[Julie Chrisley]

And it just. I just. I don't know. I just. But it. I don't know that it would have even mattered because they were able to pull it off.

[Todd Chrisley]

They were able to pull that little bit off.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

But she had another camera on the top of her guest house out there there that they went back and took down because the neighbor told him, well, there's another camera, you know, that does the back of her house. And they went and removed that. So if that had been recording, they would have gotten that footage, and it wasn't. Well, so I can just tell you right now, they better not. Nothing happened to my mom on my brother's watch because I'm gonna be minus at that point. I'm gonna be minus a brother.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, you just. It's. The whole thing's horrible. And I'm sure that she feels bad. And, you know, I mean, you walk. All you can say is, I woulda. I coulda. I should have whatever. But, you know, you don't. You don't think about anything bad happen until it happens.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right?

[Julie Chrisley]

I mean, it just. It is what it is. You don't think that, you know, she. She had a nice home in a nice area. You know, you dropped her off, you'd had dinner with her. You don't think that's the last time I'm gonna see my mom?

[Todd Chrisley]

But I don't understand this whole Uber shit either. Your mom at 84 years old, getting in an Uber. I would never put Faye in an Uber. I would not do that. I'M not running that risk of somebody kidnapping my mama or hurting her or hurting her feelings or saying something that would hurt her feelings. No, I'm not.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't know. But that's not. I mean, no, everybody's not the same.

[Todd Chrisley]

You're right. Everyone's not the same. But. But I still got my mama. So maybe if we understand that when our parents get to a certain age, that we have to be more assertive and aggressive in the care that we provide.

[Julie Chrisley]

You're right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And the caution that needs to be taken.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. You're right.

[Todd Chrisley]

So, I mean, do I not tell my mother to stay out of a casino? She's going to get hurt. She's going to fall. Something's going to happen to her.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

What happened to her that I had to get on a plane years ago and do. I was in Saks Fifth Avenue in the dressing room.

[Julie Chrisley]

She fell.

[Todd Chrisley]

She fell and broke her pelvis.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. In a casino.

[Todd Chrisley]

In a casino.

[Julie Chrisley]

And I had to let us know.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. And I had to get on a plane, fly there, go to the hospital, sleep in the room with her until she was discharged, rent a car because she could not get on the plane, remember?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, I do.

[Todd Chrisley]

To bring her back to Georgia. So, no, I'm staying on top of my mama. She can all she wants to, but she's going to be there to bitch. So, I mean, it breaks my heart. I don't wish no family to go through what they're going through. And I saw that video of Savannah last night on Instagram, and. And it just broke my heart to see the pain in her eyes and to see how. I mean, she's like, literally just surviving. You can see she's just surviving.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that broke my heart for her. So, I mean, you know, my heart goes out to her. And I mean, we're going to lift them up in prayer and pray that God will bless them and make some sense out of what's going on here and return their mother to them. So that. That's going to be my prayer.

[Julie Chrisley]

And I think that's what her last plea was. Just.

[Todd Chrisley]

Just bring my mama home.

[Julie Chrisley]

No matter what. Just let.

[Todd Chrisley]

Bring her home. You know, let us have her back.

[Julie Chrisley]

Whatever. Whatever that looks like.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. Let us have her back. So that's. That's just so sad.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, I think that. So we've got that going. We've discussed that. I did want to go back to something I saw on Twitter, this. On X this morning that Chelsea Clinton posted that the Epstein files is that this Administration with the Epstein files and the corruption in them and. But all that, she was just saying a bunch of shit, honey. No.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Based off some of the pictures that have been linked, I think I would just stay away from it.

[Todd Chrisley]

Just as. As a famous writer in the south mouth in Georgia used to say, Louis Grizzard, I don't think I'd have told that. I'd have just left that alone when there's pictures of your pedo dad over there on the island and Hillary, your mother just said this morning before testimony, folks, in a couple of weeks,

[Julie Chrisley]

my

[Todd Chrisley]

husband was on the flight log and did utilize the plane multiple times for his charity work. Charity work. So, you know, if I was Chelsea, I just think that I would stay away from that. I'd stay away from that. I wouldn't go near it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay. I want to take a minute to share something really important to me and that's Good Girl Rx, a female focused health and wellness company created by my daughter Savannah. As women, we so often put everyone else first and ignore our own health or we're just told to push through instead of being truly listened to. What I love about Good Girl Rx is that it's built around real mental medical care and compassion. Through their telehealth platform, women can meet virtually with licensed medical providers who take the time to review your health history and goals. If it's clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss personalized treatment options, including GLP1 medications like tirzepatide, as well as wellness therapies such as nad. Everything is determined by a doctor and tailored to the individual. As a mother, it means everything to me that this company was created to help women feel supported instead of judged. Everyone's journey is different. Different results vary and not everyone qualifies. But having access to licensed physicians who truly listen can make all the difference. If you're ready to take a step toward prioritizing your health, visit goodgirlrx.com and use code CONFESSIONS. 15 for 15 off at checkout. Medical care is provided by licensed physicians.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, I did want to talk about some stuff within with the bop. You know, the. I went and toured Montgomery Maxwell at Montgomery, Alabama and was there all day. Yeah, Literally didn't leave until like 4:45.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. I was like freaking out thinking, oh

[Todd Chrisley]

my God, she thought they put me back in.

[Julie Chrisley]

I thought they had like put him in the garbage disposal.

[Todd Chrisley]

But I toured the food services and found all the violations there. I toured medical or the lack thereof and. And brought light to the lack of medical care. The lack of education that was being offered there at Montgomery or at Maxwell. I toured commissary to look and see what if these men were being given what they're supposed to be given and being allowed to shop. And I addressed so many concerns for so many individuals, one of those being the RDAP program. They are the RES Residential Drug Drug Treatment program and how the BOP is yet once again failing miserably. Men sitting there waiting to join this program to get their year off, and yet they're not pushing them through and they're losing that year because it takes nine months to finish the program. Well, they've already been there eight months. Well, now they may be getting ready to go home. So they, they lost that opportunity to get that.

[Julie Chrisley]

And a lot of times, once they start the program, they have to con. They have to finish because if you

[Todd Chrisley]

don't, you get no credit.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? So I have a friend right now that should have already been at the halfway house, but because she hasn't finished the program yet, she has to stay till, I think it's April.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right? And so, you know, I went and did that and I'm going to be doing more tours of the Bureau of Prisons, of their facilities and continuing to expose the things that are wrong and the abuse and the negle. But I've had great feedback, as you know, because you're, you're there with me every day and you hear these calls, but I've had great feedback from the administration, you know, of, of the exposure that was brought out. And folks, when I tell you I did that inspection that day and the next day, emails were sent out from the director. He wanted all issues addressed and he wanted a response back that day. Day and the wreck, the rec department, who under the supervision of one of the most incompetent women in the bureau. And that's saying something because there's a lot of them. She decided to shut down the rec yard because she didn't want to have to be bothered with supervising. That's what you're there for. And these are grown men. They're not. It's not childcare. They don't need to be supervised. This is a camp. Right, but that's been reopened. The men have their rec yard back

[Julie Chrisley]

and realize that what that means, being able to sit outside, being able to have sunshine and being able to be active, I mean, it helps with depression, it helps with anger, it helps with so many different things. And they just refuse to acknowledge because

[Todd Chrisley]

these people, these people within the Bureau of Prison have such a low level of education that all they think of is, I've got authority. That. That badge and that title gives them a feeling of what someone who goes to college and walks across the stage and gets a diploma. It gives them validation.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

That position gives them validation to abuse. So.

[Julie Chrisley]

But, I mean, it just. It's crazy to me because, you know, you don't realize it until you don't have it. You know, like, I was in transit for 52 days where I didn't have that ability just to go sit outside and, you know, have. Have the sunlight or be able to walk a track.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that is that. And that is something that Director Marshall is working on as well, is about this trans. You know, this transit thing. He wants that done away with. You know, he's. Director Marshall is really, really, really focusing on the. The abuse, on staff members, not providing the services that the BOP is obligated to provide per Congress and per. The monies that are being spent for these programs. And. And I'm grateful to God that we have him, because at the end of the day, without folks, I've always said it, you got to cut the head off the snake if you ever want to fix anything beneath it. And because that head with Colette Peters has been removed. And I want to talk about that in a second to. It's so different right now. When I was walking through that. That prison, you know, those men would stop me and say, what you're doing is making a difference, whether you know it or not, we're being treated differently. And I spoke there, you know, to 200 men and corrected a lot of their issues with their RDAP while I was there. And men that were more than 500 miles away from their family are being sent closer to their family. Because if we're going to follow policy with the bop, the policy goes both ways. So if we have a policy at the BOP that says you cannot be more than 500 miles from your family, then that's what it means. So I had everyone to raise their hands. It was more than 500 miles away. Took their names down. They made a list this morning. They're being sent closer to their families so they can get visitations. If you were there at Montgomery or in Maxwell, at Montgomery, and you were sent there for rdap and you've been on a waiting list, and now you've lost the ability to gain that 12 months, you're being sent closer to your family to where you can finish out your time. And it's unfortunate that you got screwed out of your time but that has happened, Right? But the other men that are eligible and that can get that full year, they will stay and they'll go in so that we clean up, clean this up. We're not repeating the pattern, right? But. But I do see light. I do see progress being made every day with the Bureau of Prisons. And I'm so grateful for that. You know, I've got a huge focus on these halfway houses now and the corruption that's going on in those and the abuse that's going on there. So I'm. I'm heavily focused on that and I've got other people that I'm working with. It's kind of, you know, investigating these halfway houses. And thank God for Dana, who is over. Halfway houses for the Bureau of Prisons. This woman is so committed to doing the right thing that she is holding these individuals accountable. If you abuse someone on our watch and we're paying you, you're out. Now, I would like it to go further. You're out and you're in court and you're standing. You're being held accountable for what you did. But I wanted to touch on this because, folks, only in this country, Colette Peters. Peters was the director of the Bureau of Prisons, the same woman who was interviewed by Juju Chang on Nightline for Aliceville, who had a conversation with Colette Peters, a female folks, about the rapes that was going on at Dublin, of these women. Now, this is not hearsay. It's been proven. The BoP has settled, you know, tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits. Staff members there, wardens, chaplains, cos have been found guilty. They're in prison. So this is not hearsay. Juju Chang asked her, do you feel that you owe the. As the director of the Bureau of Prisons, do you feel you owe these women an apology for what they've been through? And she looked in the camera and said, no.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, I was sitting in. I was sitting in prison and watched that interview.

[Todd Chrisley]

And how is a woman. Did that make you feel?

[Julie Chrisley]

Just it. It literally was so baffling. And this was the other part of it, too. The girls that were there, that had been in that program at Aliceville, which is really so what. What it was supposed to highlight. And they didn't. It. They didn't. You know, you could see how defeated they were because they were like, this was a really good program. And they really didn't even highlight it. You know, Colette didn't do a very good job of highlighting the program.

[Todd Chrisley]

She didn't do anything.

[Julie Chrisley]

And, and, yeah, I Mean, so, yeah, I was sitting in prison watching that and they asked her, you know, okay, well, how many employees, you know, how many employees do you need to hire? We don't know.

[Todd Chrisley]

We don't know.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't know. How do you as the head, not know these things? And how do you not feel responsible?

[Todd Chrisley]

Because as a woman.

[Julie Chrisley]

As a woman, but as. Let's just look at it as a business owner, you know yourself, the way that it works is that if you don't even know, you should know because you're the owner.

[Todd Chrisley]

We were convicted of that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Head of the bop. So if you don't know, you should know because you're the head of it.

[Todd Chrisley]

What did our prosecutor say to the jury, right, if the Chrisley's did not know it. Okay, great. They should have. They're intelligent, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

And it. But she didn't view it that way. So to say that basically, I don't know anybody.

[Todd Chrisley]

An apology was so rogue and so, yes, disingenuous and was just so narcissistic. But you're gonna. I don't even know if you know what I'm going to say. So this woman who left the Bureau of Prisons. She was uninvited to stay. Who was uninvited to stay with the Bureau of Prisons. Left the new director with a shit show at Dublin with staff members still on payroll at an empty prison doing nothing. Right? But they're still taking the taxpayer dollars because she did not reassign them. She did nothing. Nothing. She let them. She maintained Status quo.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Now, folks, she was disinvited to stay at the Bureau of Prisons. But guess where she found a job? Through her organization.

[Julie Chrisley]

Where?

[Todd Chrisley]

California.

[Julie Chrisley]

Of course she did.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's now over mental health for the prison system in California.

[Julie Chrisley]

What?

[Todd Chrisley]

After being on national television saying she owed none of the women that were raped.

[Julie Chrisley]

Raped.

[Todd Chrisley]

An apology. Collette. Did you think that those women that were being raped by your staff at that time, your staff, what kind of mental health issues do you think they got that they have, right, that you did not provide them within the Bureau of Prisons? She knew for four years. For four years she knew that these women were being raped in Dublin by the chaplain, the warden, staff members. These men were getting contracting STDs and giving them to the other women. But these women got no mental health counseling. Not until the class action lawsuit was filed and a female judge of Hispanic origin had the balls to say, Colette Peters, you will not tell me what to do. I'm going to tell you what to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Good Good.

[Todd Chrisley]

And got those women out of there and shut that prison down in the state of California. Colette didn't do that. The judge did.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Oh, I know that. I know that. So we received them into our prison.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. So the Colette Peters was a piece of. And did nothing for the women that were abused. But now in the state of California, she is over mental health care for the inmates in the prison system.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's unreal.

[Todd Chrisley]

Being paid almost $800,000 to. To fill this role. Almost $800,000. Seven hundred and some change.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's crazy.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that's crazy. We're going to talk about more coming out of California and, you know, I've loved California my whole life as long as you've been with me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Not anymore.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's.

[Todd Chrisley]

That's not anymore. I mean, I feel bad for a lot of our friends there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I feel bad for, you know, what the economy's doing there. But, you know, you.

[Julie Chrisley]

They keep voting them in so that,

[Todd Chrisley]

I mean, you get what you vote for, same as right here in Nashville.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

With the mayor of Nashville.

[Julie Chrisley]

Get what you.

[Todd Chrisley]

You get what you vote for. I don't even know if you know this. You know Acme right there on Broadway.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, yes, yes. We filmed there before.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yes. Okay. This is. This is a historical company that's been here in Nashville forever. His taxes went from $124,000 a year to $600,000 a year. And he said we can't keep our doors open. He said that's more than. He said that. Right. There is more than our insurance and our revenue that we have coming in. And do you know what Freddie o' Connell said? I don't care if he keeps the business. I'm quoting. I don't care if he keeps the business open or not. That's cyclical. That's the way life goes. Old businesses closed down. New and new ones come in and take over. So no regard to history or legacy or anything like that. That leave Acme alone. But if I was the owners of Acme, I would sue the city of Nashville and name the mayor. I would sue that. I would tie their ass up in court until his ass couldn't be elected anymore. But we. This is a red state. But unfortunately, all the red has moved out to Williamson County. Davidson is more blue. Blue because it's in town until you get what you vote for. Yeah, that's the demographic there. And. And listen, we. We currently live within it. Within Davidson County.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

So, you know, but we didn't. We were not able to vote in that election, but I will be able to vote next time. So I just. I just think that it's insane, you know, you. If you look at these. Look at mom. D Army in New York. This guy with a knife tried to stab two New York City police officers. Its own body cam, folks. Again, body cams.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Officers should have body cams on in the prisons as well.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

Cuts back on litigation, cuts back on abuse.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

It's called on the body cam. He's coming at them with a knife. The officer shoots him four times. Okay? That's self defense. Guy didn't die. He's in the hospital in New York. Who goes to see this guy who tried to kill those two officers? The mayor. And then makes a public announcement that he should not be charged and his handcuffs should be taken off because he's. He's handcuffed to the bed. His handcuffs should be taken off, folks, you're doing this. You're voting them in. And then you want to cry and say like Robert De Niro is saying, he's leaving New York because that's his. That he's. He's being taxed to death and that's his, you know, his savings is what he has to live off of. And if he doesn't get out of there, because he's getting ready, they're getting ready to impose this wealth tax in the state of New York. They're all trying to flee, taking their money, their liberal money, and moving to a conservative state where they can hold on to it, where they can bring that bullshit to a conservative state date and start trying to change it to be the. That you just fled from.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Todd Chrisley]

So. Which I did exactly what you told me not to do. Which you have. Judah does not like to talk politics. She was raised in the south by Southern Baptist minister, very conservative. And you did not believe. You just don't discuss politics.

[Julie Chrisley]

You just. I mean, it just. There's no. There's no.

[Todd Chrisley]

But I want you to have that opinion. I want you to say what you believe.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, I do, but you just been on a tangent today.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, I'm on a tangent because I believe very strongly about the things that I have said.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, I get it.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you know, because you live with me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, I do.

[Todd Chrisley]

And so I want. I want the whole world to come together. And I know that's. That's, yeah. You know, very Polly Pollyannish of me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Not going to happen. But.

[Todd Chrisley]

But if we give up hope of that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Then that means we have to accept that this is going to be the new norm, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

That's true.

[Todd Chrisley]

And do you want that for our grandchildren?

[Julie Chrisley]

No. No, I don't.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I don't want it for our children.

[Julie Chrisley]

You just keep fighting, Todd. Just keep fighting. Because, listen, as long as you fight and you're alive, you're gonna live forever.

[Todd Chrisley]

So, folks, on that note, it's a close for Chris the confessions 2.2 on
