our texts between a bookmaker and the interpreter, the bookmaker asks, obviously, you didn't steal from him. the reply from the interpreter technically, i did steal from him it's all over for me. there are still a few unanswered questions. for example, we read in that complaint that ippei mizuhara made $140 million sports betting over a couple of years. he lost $180 million million shortfall we're told he stole 16 million from shoheiohtani. so there's a gap there in the finances and other condition of his release. he is not loud to contact shoheiohtani and he'll be back in court himself. may 9th. meantime shoheiohtani continues to do what he does best playing very, very well at baseball 700 million, golden boy is dodgers right now leading the national league best naibe, cnn, los angeles.

intentionally separated church and state. but trump and some of his most vocal supporters have tried to blur those lines. >> we are going to have one nation under god, which we must we have to have one nation under god and one religion under god >> this vision of america is known as christian nationalism. i believe that america is a christian nation and that christianity deserves a privileged place in the american government. what i'll hear events is the founding fathers for christian america was built off christian values. why >> is jesus nor christianity mentioned? constitution? >> trump has seized on christian nationalism and is feeding into us from speeches. >> we are a nation that is hostile to liberty freedom? fe and even god to hawking a bible. >> i brad, you endorse and encourage you to get this bible, a bible that includes the us constitution and lyrics

over lee greenwood song >> how any questions? you can vote for a democrat, christian, or person of faith person of faith, how you can vote for a democrat is crazy >> trump is stoking fears that christianity is under attack and only he can save us but no one will be touching the cross of christ under the trump administration to use christianity to control that. if you don't see christianity in christ, the way we see him, then you are not truly christian and a view not truly christian. then you are not truly american. >> america is a country that has christians are part of it, christian nationalism is not christian at all. >> pastor is jackson jacobson and shaw are part of a campaign here in milwaukee that is trying to fight back against christian nationalism >> or why >> is christian nationalism? and your view such a threat?

>> threat because it's sent this exclusive? >> can you really with a straight face, look at life teachings way and death of jesus and line that up with the correlates of christian nationalism, anti muslim, racist, anti-immigrant. i mean, it's doesn't work. >> polling shows americans differ on the role of christianity in government. a minority would support the government declaring christianity that national religion. >> you can't have a multicultural democracy and have a privilege religion doesn't work. >> do you think laws in this country governments should be based on christianity or is it just totally separate from alawieh should put christ back and to the contrary, worried longs. and the contrary withdraw a lot stronger. >> what does that look like? they'll put in christ back into the country. for god, back into the church god back into the white house that's where he belongs, >> 44% of americans say the bible should have at least some

influence on us law. >> do you think is america a christian country? >> i believed that growing up, i did. >> yeah founded as a christian country. >> yes, it was founded as a christian country but obviously in the constitution there is that separation of church and state >> yes. but then there's also all always let well, i went to public school if we were allowed to pray. >> when you say christianity is under attack in america, you're talking about in schools that seeing not so much of the schools, but just i just can't come up with anything right now. but i think the biggest thing is i just don't trust joe biden >> some of these fears are fueled by misinformation. >> and what the hell was biden thinking when he declared easter sunday to be trans visibility day? >> international trends gender, visibility de, takes place

every year on march 31st. this year, easter sunday also happened to fall on that day i think more that christians are going to be discriminated against under biden or second, or how what do you mean by that? >> by >> making yesterday, which was the hey worldwide perished and celebratof theesurrectn sgr dathat was quite a slap in the face awareness day on the same ysst s n easter sday.hank you fell r >> correctg . i apeciate that. better now erstand it >> okay. yeah, i do. god loves tran cancers and he want th to ntact him but no eryone is open to acing facts. some including church leers, are phing lies about thelection to the place rit now, if you demrat, i don't even want you around his church, didn't get out get out

to damon given get out your baby butchering an election thief you cannot be a christian and vote democrat in this nike. >> and that's as what worries these pastors. >> i think we are at risk of violen in this cou. and ing that's the rhetoric that w're hearing a lot loud mega preachers is leading us towards the possibility of no holds barred warfare, who we really do think that democracy is at stake in the selection now, omar, most of the people we spoke to at that trump rally in wisconsin last week while they did say >> christianity should have a special place in the united states most of them did say that they are very supportive of freedom of religion and they don't necessarily think that christianity should get in the way of anybody else's face. however, as you saw on that

piece, there, there is a range. there's a spectrum here when it comes to these kind of beliefs. and there are some people like you saw on that piece calling for one religion in this country, which is very much not what the founding fathers intended wide range of opinions i think is an understatement. there don't eat before you go. i want to ask about because there was a woman there that you spoke to when you reminded her that easter changes every yearnd that trs rights awareness is the same date every year saih, thank you for helping me me. mean, you obviously travel t country, talk to folks like this a the time. how evalent is that type of interaction when you prod them a little bit with what you've got if you say oh, actually, i didn't know that. thank you. >> yeah. look, i mean, i think most people are reasonable people. rice and we all have fears and anxieties and we have our biases. but what you see in this age really of mis and

disinformation is that people's anxieties are being compounded by false information just exactly in the case of easter sunday and trans visibility, there de, you saw that lady grace, who showed a lot of grace when presented with the facts and was understanding. but of course, if you were watching certain television channels or if you were on a certain social media feed for all of easter weekend, all you would have seen is that president biden was somehow attacking easter while also celebrating trans people >> donie, as always, always appreciate the perspective you've brought to us, and i appreciate here perspective too. >> thanks. of course >> all right. just ahead and events. so rare thatheast time ippen here the is just an appetizin llyhat picture. i hope you are not eating, but we're going to tell you about the cicadapocalypse. next, stay with us carbon.

made the louis, the louisiana purchase now, insects will emerge in the next few weeks as the soil warms up, their stay will be marked by very loud singing. then mating, and then dying maybe that's the story of the circle of life. our guests calls it the most macabre mardi gras that you've ever seen. jonathan larson is an entomologist and assistant professor at the university of kentucky. >> he's >> also co-host of the podcast and is known on social media as bug man john. so the big question is we just had an eclipse now a so-called cicadapocalypse is this the end of the world >> i don't know that i would say it's the end of the world. i would like to say that this is a reminder that nature is still alive and kicking it's a 13 and 17 year kind of timer that tells you nature is still out there, still living dring that's amazing you were very optimistic, which i love to see, but also you had the science to back it up. so i'm going to tend to trust you on this. we do have a map showing where the broods are expected to emerge. >> can you walk us through what

people, what should people expect to see here? >> so from about the southern tip of wisconsin, all the way down to georgia, we're going to see these two broods emerging. one group that's kind of in the illinois and wisconsin and indiana and iowa area that's the one that's going to be are 17 year cicadas and then the one that covers most of the southeastern united states. those are the 13 year cicadas. and people are going to see billions of bugs come up out of the ground. it'll start right around the time that the irises began to bloom in your local area. and then they will start flying around. and they will begin to mate and the trees, it's a lot of teenage page bugs, sort of foreign according and your trees, so to speak. and they will be making the next generation of these cicadas >> all right, so i want to warn our viewers viewer discretion advice. i want to show you a picture. >> it is a close-up of a cicada. >> let's bring that picture up >> here when we have it in a second here it's a face only a

mother could love. a face for radio, a face that it's going to scare all the other species back into the earth as they emerged. but you say cicadas are one of the coolest insects in nature. why did they fascinate you so much? >> i think that one thing that's fascinating about this group is just 13 and 17 year lifecycle. we don't have a lot of insects that live beyond a year. so you're talking about teenage and sex that's kind of interesting. then the fact that they come out and they sing these really loud songs to attract one another. the males are the ones that are kind of singing being in the trees. they create a chorus that attracts other males to the tree and attract females to the tree. and then they pair up in sync courtship songs. i assume something like wonderwall, maybe something to that effect. >> and then they pair up in may it's just they feed a lot of different organisms snakes and birds, and even dogs and cats. they like to eat them. >> and you just >> don't see a lot of huge groups of singing insects like this. yeah, that's really fascinating. it's a really cool indicator that nature is

beautiful. >> luck. >> they also feed humans because as >> i, as i understand, you've eaten them to what are they tastes like? if i want to know? >> they taste a lot like whatever you cook them and they themselves have kind of a nutty flavor underground. they feed on tree sap they're going to acquire that kind of flavor. but then when i had them, they were cooked with tuna. and with rice. so they kind of had that nice seafood flavor. and then we also had some on that were glazed and mole berries. a mulberry kind of a motion. so that was actually quite delicious >> wow, look, that's, that's a type of meal that i'd like to have first and then someone tells me afterwards what was in it as opposed to learning on the front end >> i'll take your >> word for it maybe next time we'll get you will get you in here and we'll do it together. now, look obviously there's a exactly are new cooking segment. it works. >> now, look, there >> is a scientific element to this. what do scientists hope to learn from this double brood emergence here? >> what we like to learn about, we call these insects the

guardians of time. how did they accomplish this? how do they live for so long and then there's also lots of interesting sort of ecological fastest to study when they do get aboveground what things are going to feed on them. you may have heard also of some research that's being done, i think in west virginia by matt kassem, who is looking at the fungus that can infect these insects. it specializes on 13 and 17 years vcs. so there's a lot of data to try and collect there about how did this fungus in the focusing on these insects in particular but mostly it's an opportunity for science communication is an opportunity to connect with people and show them the world of insects that they're not all scary. these aren't going to bite or sting you. they may harm some trees that are grown out in the landscape, particularly newly transplanted ones are fruit trees. but by enlarge, it's just a natural phenomenon. people need to experience. >> yeah, well, i feel like we are going to hear it before we see it and it's going to be loud professor jonathan larson really appreciate the time
