She tosses the question aside and attempts to bring the conversation back to real issues like North Korea, immigration, and student debt.<br>\nLater on Carlson asks Garcia about the recent monthly binding spell on Trump. She gives a well thought out and formulated answer about the power of intention, will, and trying to prevent the harmful policies of the president.<br>\nCarlson, again, shows a complete and utter lack of understanding when he says:<br>\n\u201cMost people just go ahead and vote or, like, buy a t-shirt\u2026Is this legal? Can you run around and cast spells? Are you allowed to cast spells on people? Is there any federal regulation of this?\u201d<br>\nHere\u2019s some food for thought Tucker, is praying for someone legal? Is there any jurisdiction about that? Because it\u2019s essentially the same thing.<br>\nSo from all of us pagans, witches, heathens, and nature lovers. A sincere heartfelt, thank you to Amanda! You showed that we are concerned citizens doing our best to take social action for just causes!
