in the aftermath of the 2024 election America is even more divided than before half the country fears the end of democracy and the other half welcomes it as America inches toward the brink of authoritarian Rule now more than ever we must force ourselves to have the necessary conversation what are you doing thumbnails thumb prints whatever they're called thumbnails whatever all right welcome to the necessary conversation I'm Chad culin with me is as always my Lefty sister Haley Pope and my parents Bob and Mary L culon who are deep in the Maga pit if you're joining us for the first time in this podcast we talk about the four maybe this week hopefully the six big political issues of last week and how everybody is feeling about all of them Haley are you okay yeah I feel like I've had the flu for about three weeks now how long has it actually been um about three weeks I've not felt right I was down and out for a whole week but I've been working um I just don't feel normal should have gotten that vaccine I think I did I get all the vaccines it's probably why she's sick sometimes we start off this very program with what my mom likes to call her didy these are just little oneoff ideas or events that happen over the course of the week that you like to highlight mom do you have any dides this week for us yes you remembered thank you very much Friday March 14th the state of Oklahoma was in an emergency situation we had winds that were 75 to 80 miles an hour it was the worst wind we've ever ever experienced since living in the state due to those right what fires too right yeah due to the high winds then they just Spark fires that were popping up all over the state it was also in Kansas it was also a little bit I think in Missouri with tornadoes but you know it injured like 150 people four deaths 170,000 acres of land were burned okay with us so did Haley so thank you for that two of my very very good friends uh Jules and Aaron were Aaron was fighting the fires up in Still Water there was a lot of houses lost up there and Jews stayed with horses but thank them a lot and thank you for for protecting us this [ __ ] made like National this made national news right yes yeah when when I went out and Don and Donald Trump didn't comment in fact he bragged about his golf game oh just saying also dad uh when the fires were breaking out in La a few months ago you said everybody here deserves what they get do you still feel that same way about the people in Oklahoma your home state sure I say you should have got out of there quicker and then it wouldn't have affected you I wanted you to move I wanted I still want you to move out of there I want you to move out of Oklahoma now that there's fires okay [ __ ] I'll take a I'll take a a hurricane I'll take a tornado over a fire there you go okay okay according to the Department of Agriculture egg prices have dropped again as bird flu outbreaks have eased up and um demand has fallen eggs are now $415 a dozen down $2.70 but no one's brought that up recently huh you just did okay gas prices are down also they have dropped for the third straight week falling from falling to 303 a gallon wow about these prices seem like they're the stock market how about that burn baby burn or drill baby drill not burn drill okay um I've got two more I think yeah okay the astronauts oh my gosh even dad had a smile on his face they're coming home right now what we'll see if that Tesla rocket makes it up there or if it blows up the rocket is already up there they have docked there's 11 people now up there um on I think it's called the Isis or see I'm all confused what all these capsules and stuff are called but uh Butch and sunny those are the two that went up for an eight day eight day run they've been up there nine months I feel bad for them I really do sure but but it has docked um there's I think four gonna stay up there or two and then R2 with two others maybe he'll come back um now the SpaceX crew that's due to to Elon that's his Rockets he's the rocket man it's his company right so thank you they've been up there way too long Biden forgot him thank God for Elon and Trump okay yeah also what what is fascin not fascinating I don't like that when they come back now it said like when they lift a pencil it will feel like a 100 pounds yeah it it will take them a good year to even be right they could you spend in Space the your muscles atrophy your bones get less dense yeah all kinds of stuff and because your blood is Flowing the opposite way too all kinds of stuff I feel bad for them but if you saw the clip on Instagram or Tik Tok where there the people have come up to rescue them and you don't have a happy heart on that it's insane it's like oh my God we're rescued happy news I think that was my last Diddy yep they should return Tuesday Tuesday okay thanks for your daddy's mom now we move on to that portion of the program where we take a question from somebody out there listening to this very podcast we're getting a lot of questions now we had some Tik toks kind of blow up you all right Dad you with us yes okay we're going to play a question now from a listener if you have a question that you want to send us just put it in a one minute or shorter audio or video clip and send it to the necessary conversation pod atgmailcom are you ready for the question of this week every what happened to our screen uh oh you're fine the screen is just it's black because I'm playing the question you're fine okay are you ready yes here we go Hi culton family my question is for Mary Lou on last week's episode you accused Chad of playing the cancer card and then later on in the episode you were really angry about Congressional Democrats not standing up and clapping for a 13-year-old who also has cancer and I guess you could say was using a playing a cancer card so I guess my question for you is when would it be an appropriate time for Chad to play the cancer card um thanks so much keep up the great work there you have it NOP whoops there we go um so there you go mom the question is when is it appropriate to play the cancer card because you very much did say to me don't play the cancer card when I was talking about myself having cancer and Trump cutting uh cancer research funding but you were using your cancer in regard to the kid and it was like opposite you were doing opposite um I don't even know how to explain it I probably shouldn't have said that I probably shouldn't have your cancer was not only yours it was all of ours and you know that I was so you're playing my cancer card now it affected all of us of course in regard to I'm I'm Not Who was on medicine who wasn't okay that's where I'm going so I think I think I was on medicine I think that was a rude question whoever said that anyway okay so they don't know our family again I can go through all this but I won't they don't know our family they don't know how I really feel that's all I'm saying about it so there is no appropriate time to play the cancer card is that your final conclusion yep done okay now hey why are you doing that where are you going so this is like a tactic that you guys use all the time in these conversations where you're just like I'm not talking anymore [ __ ] you and then you walk off or you you know pretend to be mock offended or whatever when it's a question that you don't want to answer but part of this whole show is that you have to stand stand here and you got to answer you got to have the conversation to have the necessary conversation Chad can use the cancer card whenever he wants to use a cancer card I agree with if you had cancer you can use the card whenever you want um let's move let's move on thank you again for your question and as I said if anybody else out there has a question you just put it in a one minute or shorter audio or video format send it to the necessary conversation pod gmail.com let's move on our first topic of today is Tesla Nationwide protest erupted at tesler dealerships the tesler takedown is it just may or have you guys noticed that most of your Callin deals are women probably under 30 and just an observation okay thanks for that observation yeah they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground because they're women yeah says our batteries running low you got to plug the computer in mom no we can't why it's too far away I'll be you have to okay if this computer shuts down while we're doing this there is no podcast all right oh my God Mom can you hear me yes how are you gonna plug it in I have no idea I have to go get an extension keep talking keep talking plug that in I'll go get an extension all right this is unreal what did you think that the computer wouldn't need a battery charge to do this Char it was plugged in all night are you guys ever gonna get a Tesla hang on let me read this then we'll get to these questions this is already a cluster [ __ ] I'm just going to read this Mom can you hear me while you're getting the extension cord no yeah she can Mom yeah Nationwide protest interrupted at Tesla dealerships the Tesla takedown movement organized demonstrations across various cities urging consumers to boycott Tesla products and divest from the company's stock while many protests remain peaceful instances of vandalism including arson and property damage including a Molotov cocktail thrown uh through one of the windows of a Tesla dealership were reported at Tesla facilities in States like Colorado and Oregon in response musk flexed his control over Trump to force him into hosting a promotional event on the White House South lawn showcasing Tesla vehicles alongside musk during the event Trump mispronounced Tesla calling it tesler and selected a red Model S for himself while the unprecedented presidential Shilling saw a 7.6 rise in Tesla's stock this week it remains down nearly 50% from its mid December highs Mom are you there yes I'm listening okay pluging it in so last week you both said electric cars are not the way of the future and you claim that the reason for the stock tumbling and all this vandalism against his Tesla dealerships was simply because people don't like electric cars Trump now is doing commercials for them he loves them so now are you going to buy a Tesla no no we never liked electric cars so you're against Trump on this yes I guess we never liked electric cars he he didn't like electric cars either okay so do you think all this property damage someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of one of his dealerships do you still think that that vandalism uh is because people don't like electric cars and has nothing to do with musk I think that has everything doesn't matter I think it has everything to do with who's paying them to protest which we who's paying those people to be out there to protest Georgie Boy no who umus okay there's some groups ones called act blue of Bank rolling uh that are out there being to do that another one there's a seatt organization that's Troublemaker or something they're being paid to be out there I've seen the um whoever those protest groups are what Clips don't matter I've seen clips of Donald Trump sucking Elon musk's toes do you think that's real I've seen the clips God I this is what I believe that's right there we go do you think that what you believe is actually true do you think there's any possibility that what you believe is not real no sometimes I don't know but today I believe that people are protesting at his places by paid um groups by paid individuals we saw that with sorus doing during all that time too what time the Soros times oh God today's not what do you oh goding I'm trying to get to you believe that these protesters who are throwing Molotov cocktails Through the Windows of Tesla dealerships are paid by who George Soros PS and his packs yeah there's all kinds of organizations that he has set up and he filters money to all of them okay and the you think then George Soros personally sits down and writes an email or something and says time to go let's blow up some Tesla dealerships no he funds their money and they decide when to do it okay there is a there's a democratic payment site where you can donate money it's called act blue and it Bank rolls money into those protests they're paid protesters you can argue that and tell you blew in the face protest groups and let me ask you this mom and dad do you think then that Soros is also paying people to dump their Tesla stock no he doesn't have individuals whatever it's okay that the stock went down 50% yeah that's fine okay do you know most rich people most billionaires and quadruple millionaires they are rich rich rich at one point in their life then they hit bottom and they're not worth much and then they go back up okay well he's still the richest man in the world so yeah okay let me ask you this mom and dad do you think it's okay for a president to do a commercial for a product made and owned by somebody heading a department trying to rid the government of Fraud and waste do you think this is fraud and waste sure I don't even president every president we've had has done it I don't even know which commercial excuse talking about Trump went on the White House lawn and got in a Tesla and said Teslas are great buy a Tesla Joe Biden didn't drive a je huh you know what the difference is he he did want for Jeep you know what the difference is no the president and CEO of Jeep wasn't running a government organization that is slashing federal jobs every day right no they're they're slashing the fat in our government where people do nothing they don't even come into the office anymore their thumbs they're slashing the fat that needs to be gone now it's Obama said this years ago you cannot really believe that it's funny when Obama said the exact same thing that our government is doing now and that was okay everybody applauded him but when Trump tries to slack stay home stick your thumb in your ass and do nothing but when Trump tries to do it it's whole another situation here I gotta put our court up and back what I'm asking though is Trump did a literal commercial for Elon musk's company using the White House as a and you guys are okay with that sure you see it as a conflict of interest okay um all right let's move on to our second topic the government remains open this week the US Senate passed a republican L Government funding bill narrowly avoiding a partial Federal shutdown the bill reduces non-defense secr discretionary spending by approximately 13 billion compared to the previous fiscal year while it increases defense spending by 6 billion among the services and departments targeted for those cuts are the USDA which is going to lose two billion in funding for programs that assisted Texas food banks and schools in purchasing fresh produce from local farms and ranches The Institute of Museum The Institute of Museum and Library Services which supports libraries and museums Nationwide targeted for elimination the minority business development agency dedicated to promoting the growth of minority-owned businesses slated for elimination and they also I think got uh voice USA the public broadcasting arm which China by the way today was literally cheersing and saying finally they shut that thing down so one of the things Trump is shutting down China loves it Dad I know you hate China despite widespread opposition 10 Democratic senators broke ranks to support the bill including Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer which removed the possibility of fil Buster many Democrats including AOC have voiced their attitude that Schumer betrayed the party in what they viewed as the first open fight against Trump and his authoritarian attempts to eliminate American democracy Haley do you think that Democratic party is over because of this I think the Dems were over a long time ago I don't I mean wasn't there a poll that came out not that long ago like they're in the [ __ ] tank people are over it yeah the Dems are done um I just like every day is something new and you hope that the Democrats will swing in and you hope that they're still rational minded Republicans but I think it's over I think everybody is just um I mean in this case they're bending the knee I I I want to leave I this isn't America anymore there is no more democracy Democrats are [ __ ] dead in the water they haven't done [ __ ] and they're not going to do [ __ ] well sh's response to the the criticism was basically saying this is better than the government shutting down that there was a it was a bad situation either way you look which I agree but I think a lot of Democrats really wanted him to shut the government down did you want that to happen well I wouldn't care because the part of the government the part of the government that they shut down doesn't affect us at all I don't want the government to shut down why would you I want the government to shut down nobody does like the whole world is on fire so it's like how' that happen how did what happen Donald Trump oh musk we in 40 days they set the world on fire when their wars were already going for four years years like we are on the brink of World War II they're going to start drilling and Mining in our national parks yeah are you guys okay with that sure we were in such a hole from Biden this is what he's got to do some of it is drastic I do believe but it's got to be none of this is Biden none of this is Biden none of it it's all all Donald Trump oh my God I'll even go farther back it's Obama it's Obama Hussein in these tens of thousands of people in the government that's all Donald Trump everything that's going to happen to education everything that's going to happen to National Parks Donald Trump those are people that have done nothing Haley they don't even go into work in regard to education we've been I don't why do you keep saying this this is like a madeup narrative did you pull that from your dad was a federal employee that's right well guess what and way back when my dad worked for the Post Office had go he would go to Union meetings and way back then it was no good and opinion and other people would too at those meetings so when when things don't work well you got to make change and all you guys are just like I'm throwing a rock at you and the person I hit is like whoa change is never easy I I'm I'm totally in agreement we need change this change though is Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies are trying to drastically reduce the federal employees in all these departments so that they become untenable and once these departments collapse he's gonna privatize all that stuff so as a teacher as a teacher one of these big changes that you think is necessary is kids no longer receiving free breakfast and lunch at school who can't afford it are you down for that no I don't like that I do like this though I want all 11th graders or 12th graders to be able to read and do arithmetic and write and you think getting rid of the Department of Education is going to do that yeah that's I also want teachers to be able to teach the basics and not have to teach two tests when I was in education we would have a meeting every week we have to teach to the toss test we have to teach to this test so those little stinkers in that classroom were only learning to be able to pass a test so that Federal money could be given to the school that is not right MH but you think getting rid of the Department of Education is going to make our education system better yes it will go to the it will go to the states and each state is going to know if they have an 11th grader that can read or cannot and how to make the change they're not federal government doesn't know and and the lady who runs not the department of educ runs the union she's a [ __ ] deadbeat piece of [ __ ] what they're doing is making the states to be able to make up the the decisions for the students to do what's right for each kid right but do you think that that's like some states want to teach hardcore Bible [ __ ] yeah you think that's right they also want to eliminate programs for kids and special Leed kids with disabilities yeah that is not right that's not right well that's going to be gone that's the first thing to go you'll have to move to the state that does that money you guys have this magical solution for things like if you don't like it move out of your state most people can't do that why not because they don't have the money to do it why not stop it could you have just moved a state without what back when you were working could you have just [ __ ] packed it up and moved no you have to find another job we did you moved with the job not everyone can [ __ ] find find another job that's when you get involved in your politics in your state and make changes when that's when you wish you'd got a better education okay but they're getting rid of the Department of Education so how do you get a better education not they also want toate privatized education they went to eliminate grants they were getting rid of all of the Dei policies so like you know people of color women we aren't going to get scholarships anymore they're going to eliminate your ability to go to college we never got him anyway how about this we get any SCH anyway we had to work our ass through school hang on a minute hang on one second dad I want to get into your line of logic here because this is interesting to me so you say if you don't like how the schools are in your state move States right yeah I don't have enough money to do that well then you need to get a better job I can't do that you say because I don't have a good enough education then we're right back in the beginning to the states don't provide education what's that where' you get that pitiful education at a lib school huh I'm listen I'm asking you this you're saying if you don't like the education you're being provided in your state you should move to another state but I don't have enough money to do it okay you're on the same page with me now so then you say well get a better job that requires a better education but I can't get that education in this state everybody has enough money to move okay hey but it has no but it has to do with this too they just don't want to move bad enough if how much is a banana $10 that's like the world you live in oh stop it if you don't my banana is not $10 bought five bananas and it wasn't 50 bucks I can guarantee you that one how much is your banana Dad huh how much is your banana less than a dollar it's less than that okay now listen I eat five of them my train of thought which was very good just went away what was my he does about five of them a day it's ridiculous um what was my train of thought it's the perfect food oh I know what it is if you don't like let's say let's say all this is going to be changed everything's GNA be mixed up you don't like where you're at with your kids education guess what which a lot of my friends have already done you can homeschool them you work what how you going to work how do you go to work when you got a homeschooled kid all day could you could you have homeschooled me and Haley I probably could have I would have went to scho taught school came home homeschooled you done the test with you helped you do research yes I probably could have because I'm a m what do we so what are we doing as Elementary age children all day long at home while you're at work what are we doing eating bananas you need uh can you afford Child Care damn right I don't know there was okay let's bra you ought to strap on about five a day let's go two steps back wasn't there one time haly you wanted to homeschool your kids no oh okay I thought there was all right let's move on to our third topic Oh Canada this uh past week Trump announced an increase in tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum Imports to 50% citing Ontario's threat of a 25% sarch charge on electricity exports to the United States however after Ontario suspended that sirch charge Trump then reversed the additional tariff increase maintaining the original 25% rate Trump also continues authoritarian fantasy of making Canada the 51st state which newly sworn in Canadian Prime Minister Mark as crazy hang on Trump's wishy-washy tariff policy decimated the stock market early in the week with the NASDAQ dropping 4% marking its largest single day decline since September 2022 the S&P 500 dropped 2.7% the Dow Jones uh lost 2.1% as the week progressed things got worse by Thursday the S&P 500 had entered correction territory falling over 10% the NASDAQ also closed in correction while the Dow remained over 9% below as December High Friday saw a small rally but all indices closed with weekly losses over 2% dad you are already chirping about Canada do you think it will become the 51st state no doubt at all mom do you think it will I don't know I'm 5050 I think it could be I do okay dad let me ask you this how do you think that will happen let's say it does happen what are what's the path to making that actually happen well the fact that they can't pay their bills they're going broke and their people are fed up and tired of it and they'll all vote for it the entire country will vote to become the 51st state you think the majority of them will yes okay what if Canada started saying we should become what did you say Haley I said no they won't they [ __ ] they're boycotting America and American Goods right now they'd rather [ __ ] die very few people are if you hell there there's all kinds of damn news reporters on TV daily talking about how Canadians are fed up with [ __ ] on news running they already they already ran the [ __ ] off listen I you're kind of right I think like in places like Alber in Alberta which is known as the Texas of Canada I think there are definitely plenty of people who love America and want to become an American 51st state but the majority of Canadians do not want this dad let me POS this question to you they will they will when they're broke okay let me ask you this Dad that ain't gonna take long if Canada said America will become the next Canadian province how would you feel about that bring it on let's see you do it well that's kind of what they're saying well yeah but the problem is we can actually make it happen they can't if we were going broke it would look pretty good probably that whoever thinks that is living in the dream world all right Canada will be part of the United States before Trump's out of office let me add that to the uh prediction list hang on one second it will never happen prediction number actually I think it's going to be within the next year or two give me a date this is on 31725 you say Canada will be the next state by when within Trump's uh three years three and a half left okay so before Trump leaves office we'll say right no we won't say that because he might do dictatorial we'll say before uh what 2028 before the 2028 election you pick a date it'll happen within the next couple of years anyway let's say before 2029 inauguration whoever that President may be hopefully that happens all right wow what a prediction um Mom now the stock market as a result of trump doing this back and forth with I'm gonna impose a tariff now I'm not oopsie the stock market is crashing as a result of this a lot of people are predicting recession are you okay with that I whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa who's predicting recession Trump himself when asks are we about to face a recession says well we may have some hard times but that's just how it's got to be two leading the two leading economic people who are they Diamond okay Goldman Sachs and what's the other one they both predicted uh the recession at a 25% chance and a 40% chance that means that neither one of those guys that are predicting recession believe it's going to happen Okay JP Morgan Chase says there is a 40% chance up from 30% at the start yep Goldman Sachs Diamond how can and Goldman Sachs has raised its own recession probability from 15 to 20% so they all think we're getting closer to it oh boy we're about to have one aren't we how can it how can we have a recession when we're not going to have a recession when the prices of eggs have dropped the prices of gasoline have dropped so have the prices interest rates are about to go up again look here's here's how it works just to let you know when stocks drop people's 401ks start dropping and as a result they're like oh [ __ ] I better not buy stuff because I'm losing my retirement to gold and Chad did you get your money out of all the stocks like Dad told you to like two years ago two years ago it was like 20 years ago I'm doing fine um I I just I can't believe that you guys don't see the stocks completely tanking as any kind of a bad about you you confuse us with somebody who's in the stock market we have zero money in the stock market all of our money is in interest rate I know but it's an indicator of what is happening it's an indicator of what is coming oh oh it is all right don't argue Yes we made you don't think the stock market crashing is bad yes I don't think it's bad simply because it doesn't affect you personally but you do understand there are other people in the world you get that right who I don't have any money in the [ __ ] stock market I'm sorry I got a ton of money stuck in interest rates that have gone to the [ __ ] Moon and I'm making more money than I can I mean it's just come rolling in okay that's fine but you are not America you understand that right but what you keep what you keep wanting to tell me is I don't know what I'm doing and America's smarter than me well guess who's getting rich and who's getting [ __ ] it ain't me right I'm not saying anything about how smart you are or how smart America is whatever that means yeah I'm simply saying the stock market is tanking as a result of what Trump is doing needs to be flushed the [ __ ] you're all for a stock market crash you got you got [ __ ] you got [ __ ] PE ratios as high as 30 uhuh that means you got to go 30 years at the current investment rate to get your [ __ ] money back out of the stock market anybody who doesn't know that is a fool okay but you understand the stock market crashing would be bad for America you do believe that yes it depends on who you are yes yes okay I answered for him I don't think heated up for me it'll be good all right all right we've gotten a little heated up here let's do a quick simmer down I was just curious if any of you guys have any good [ __ ] stories Dad I know you have a couple well yeah I had one where I had to fix your [ __ ] flat tire and couldn't do it had [ __ ] and had to walk home two miles holding my butthole because of you dad I thought you did take a [ __ ] in the front yard or something though no of someone's house he had I was walking beside him the whole way he painful he had the whole way in a ditch I don't know why I was with him was from 71 back yes she was yes so how did you get to the 7-Eleven drove D I drove to help you out uhuh you took our car to take the girl home the girl dad we'll walk which was stupid halfway home he has to do a big one and now the most important part of this that you're leaving out is in that parking lot where where I parked the car that had a flat tire you were enraged at me because I couldn't get the lug nuts off and you're like ah you piece of [ __ ] [ __ ] guess what you couldn't get them off either and a policeman stopped and he couldn't get them off either right but I was yelled at for this um okay I remember that Haley do you have any good [ __ ] stories I probably have the worst one um I don't know if you guys know this so I just had ACL reconstruction and I came home from the hospital and uh I got really sick I was like feverish 102 fever and so I went to take a really hot bath but you can't get your knee like it's straight you know it's an EMB brace I can't get it wet so I'm sitting in the tub leg is like hanging over I'm feverish and I start to get like really overheated so sh see dub was in there with me because I couldn't get like in and out of the tub by myself I had a bum leg so I go to stand up and he's helping me stand up and I kind of look at him and I say I'm I'm gonna pass out because I'm hot and I have a fever in a hot bath so I literally go unconscious uh like my whole body just like Falls he has I have ACL reconstruction like fresh out of the hospital so I can't bend that knee so he grabs me I'm out so I don't know what happens at this point this is just secondhand information but uh I guess I piss and [ __ ] all over seub it gets all over the floor he had to lay me down he had to lay me down and he said he was like five seconds away from calling 911 because I was unconscious I can't believe you're saying this that you [ __ ] on your husband yeah and then I eventually came to and had to take another shower but um yeah I let her rip it's a pretty good one um I one time was in the backseat of a car with my then girlfriend and her parents were driving this is the first time I had met them we'd gone out for an Italian meal prior to this we had about a 20-minute drive back to where they were staying with her aunt I was in the backseat of the car and something did not agree with me uh from our dinner and I was 100% positive at one point that I was going to [ __ ] my pants in the backseat of their car and so I devised a plan of action which was I was simply going to [ __ ] my pants and then pretend to be passed out so that I wouldn't have to deal with any of the repercussions from this transgression but instead I was able to hold the [ __ ] the entire way there we go in we it's like knock knock knock this is her aunt that I'm meeting for the first time nice to meet you can I use your restroom March straight to the bathroom and [ __ ] demolish it we stay there for a couple of minutes uh you know saying great to meet you all that we leave the next morning she gets a call from her mom saying they went in that bathroom to brush their teeth and get ready for bed and it was a disaster Zone thank you now we're moving on

were the baby you the baby I the baby mama as the baby was being pulled out of my vaginal area and ripping me to Holy shreds with forceps he had [ __ ] inside me that's why I was sick like two days prior yeah two days prior I was I slept 23 hours out of 24 it's a really bad thing when the baby is overdue and pooping inside you which is what he did so when they pulled him out I looked down I thought what is that I asked the doctor what is that he said he just [ __ ] he's been [ __ ] inside of you for two days the doctor said that yes your baby just [ __ ] he's been [ __ ] days terrible so you almost killed me as you were popping out I'll give you that that's my gift to you you can Qui it was him he went to the bathroom we were at a party all of a sudden people's faces and eyes started going uh uh to the bathroom going uh he comes out goes into the kitchen that wave of [ __ ] and smell came with him he cleaned out the whole house we had to leave we got in the Pontiac bonnaville and left he did it at Long John Sil whole house yeah okay fine now that we're all playing dad [ __ ] cards The Long John Silver story is we're all eating at Long John Silvers dad you went into the bathroom to take a [ __ ] and you came out and there was then a Long John Silvers employee this like high school kid walked in there and at least in my memory immediately turned around and walked out before the door could even swing shut and his Long John Silver's hat was like on crooked and he was days like walking around yeah I do remember okay thank you for your [ __ ] stories now let's move on back to the show our next topic is Trump versus kids with cancer news came out this week that Trump deported a 10-year-old US citizen undergoing treatment for brain cancer the girl who was born in the United States was traveling with her parents and four siblings all US citizens from Rio Grand City Texas to Houston for an urgent medical appointment her parents Mexican Nationals without legal residency had lived in the US for over a decade authorities presented the parents with a choice leave their children in the US or take them to Mexico opting to keep the family together they were deported on February 4th and initially stayed in a shelter before securing housing in Mexico the 10 y- old had undergone surgery for brain tumor in 2024 and required ongoing Medical Care another child aged 15 had a serious heart condition since the deportation neither has received appropriate medical attention raising significant health concerns mom and dad oh he's disappeared he to go take a [ __ ] [Laughter] no huh he's he had to go take a pee pee get a banana well Mom and Dad you guys are constantly talking about how kids are the only thing that matters save the kids save the kids save the kids here Trump has probably uh committed this child to a death sentence are you okay with this happening well let me ask you this actually do you think this 10-year-old kid is a US citizen no he I don't think the kid was was it I just said born here the child was born in America but the parents were not the parents are Mexican Nationals correct so remember when they first started uh the border and the deportation of people they said if the family if if a member in the family is not they stay together or they don't and they have to make that decision that child I thought after after you said this was going to be a topic and I read I thought it said it was a checkup it was not like we need yes it's it's ongoing medical care so like when I had cancer I'll play my cancer card now thank you if you'll allow it you go through a period of treatment whatever that is put me in a r and that lady that said that knows nothing about our family so [ __ ] her well she wow now she knows a little bit about her family at least she's heard our [ __ ] cards so you Mom uh you have to understand that after you go through cancer treatment you still then you have like literally a lifetime now of medical appointments checkups you may need continued drugs you may need continued therapies and this little kid had a brain tumor this is brain cancer we're talking about it's one of the worst areas to get any kind of cancer that's going to be a lifetime of continued uh drugs and therapy and he's getting treatment it's a girl it's a her first of all it's a girl no she's I thought we were talking I thought we were talking about the little uh secret service agent yeah no we're talking about this 10-year-old girl that Trump deported um and news just came out last week they don't they don't have cancer treatment in Mexico he deported the parents and they had to make a decision whether that child would stay in America and probably Social Services i d probably can you imagine being like can you imagine me or Haley being 10 years old and the government says to you you guys are getting deported to another country your kid can stay though what who would we stay with well that's not the point an option you would go with us we're we're US citizens that's not going to happen so is this little girl and the parents have lived here for 10 years okay here's what I don't get too dad says no she's not you don't think this little girl's a US citizen she was born in the United States okay doesn't matter here's the deal her parents are illegal it also said that they had crossed so no she's not that they had crossed several times within the last couple years for her treatment and everything was fine whose administration was that Biden and if she's going back and forth for treatment she can get treatment in Mexico or wherever she's from but do you know how hard it is to go like if you've got all your [ __ ] lined up you've been seeing the same doctor for however long it's been that doctor knows you knows everything about your let me ask you this if she's going back and forth for treatment doesn't she have doctors in both places I have no idea what the circumstance is I simply know that this child this 10-year-old child was put in a situation where ice detained her parents put them in a camp and said you have to make a choice and this kid is probably thinking well obviously I don't want to be without my mom and dad also I have a [ __ ] brain tumor so you put a 10-year-old child in this impossible situation and she's now back with her parents in Mexico I'm sure trying to find different doctors and stuff but to even put a 10-year-old kid through that process you don't think that's bad no yeah why it's not it is bad but on the side how many children came across that border alone and are now who knows where they are how many hundred and so many thousand when don't know where those we're not talking about them I'm talking about this I am uh we're we are I know and that this is a tactic you guys use constantly is changing the subject to something that has nothing to do with what we're talking you always you know what your MO is you get the worst stories that we have to say yeah that's bad Trump's an [ __ ] you don't get the good stories okay where he does other good things for kids with cancer which I'm sure he has uhhuh let's move on then you want a good story we're going to talk about Trump's big week in court this is both good and bad for Trump this week Trump had some big losses in court and a big win judge William H alup of the Northern District of California issued a preliminary injunction on some of the Trump and musk Federal firings ordering the reinstatement of probationary employees and agencies including uh defense and Veteran Affairs and judge Paula zenis of the District of Maryland mandated that 18 Federal Agencies offer reinstatement to terminated probationary employees finding that mass firings violated Federal Regulations but an appeals court did lift an injunction that had previously blocked enforcement of an executive order targeting Dei programs following Trump allowing Trump sorry to proceed with gutting them so Mom Dad you all right there Dad yeah sorry to keep you up do you think that the courts should allow Trump to do anything he wants even if those desires violate Federal Regulations hello what what violation of federal regulations firing all these employees two judges have found that that violates federal regulations and they said you have to rehire these employees at these federal agencies yeah they'll they'll appeal it and it won't fly okay Mom I have no idea okay [Laughter] Haley let me ask you this Trump has had all these setbacks in uh federal courts do you think this is going to hold up for four years do you think the Justice arm of our government is going to stand up to him and keep doing what's right I mean they are they are so I mean what what would make me think they wouldn't keep doing it for four years so I think so yeah I don't know there's a lot of scary [ __ ] like Mom and Dad always talk about at a state level give it to the states so I live in a scary state where like very scary [ __ ] is happening right now and so in my mind it's matter of time before that state level becomes a federal level it's scary to you it's not scary to 90% of the people who live in your state maybe it is terrifying what they're proposing all these bills that they're proposing yeah like so scary that I'm ready to leave the country um because I think that will hit a federal level at some point so I don't know I hope that they continue to to tell them to eat [ __ ] but I have no idea well I me most of these cases because they involve the presidency will I think get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court and then we see where these Trump appointed judges land so far Amy cone Barrett and Kennedy went the other way they went against Trump at least in that first big uh case and I don't know if that's going to continue to happen for again another four years or not but I do think that these judges they're a lifetime appointment so I I do think that they are thinking about what will happen after Trump and if they give him everything if they give Trump power to basically override them I think they know that they're screwed and I do think above all anybody in that position wants to maintain their power or even make it Greater so I think they might check him for four years I don't know we'll see all right let's move on to our next next topic uh what do we got here about 10 minutes I'm going to try to get through these last two quickly the measles outbreak in West Texas and New Mexico continues and now Oklahoma also has been added to that list you guys have some me measles there now with over 300 confirmed cases including one death of a child in Texas who was unvaccinated and had not had no known underlying health conditions the CDC and uh sorry the Centers for Disease Control and prevention issued a health alert Network advisory highlighting the outbreak severity and urging healthcare providers to promote vaccination but the Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr has suggested using Alternatives like vitamin A and cod liver oil to combat the measles neither of which prevent contraction of the measles mom should people get be getting vaccinated for the measles yes I haven't read anything where he says qu liver oil look it up Dad should people be getting vaccinated for the measles well I did you got them anyway okay are either of you taking cod liver oil or vitamin A to try and combat the measles no hello I I had the measles I ain't gonna get them again no all right mom hasn't though all right do you trust rfk's advice here what mom hasn't what mom hasn't do you trust mom hasn't had the measles do you trust rfk's advice I have read where he says the vaccination is up to the people I haven't read where he's saying take vitamin A and cod liver oil but like you guys understand that that there hasn't been a measles outbreak in what decades 50 years let's see yeah why we haven't one now we haven't had a because people are immigrants choosing not to vaccinate their children immigrants and there is a reason that we now live past the age of [ __ ] 30 and it's because of vaccinations [Music] immigrants uh measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000 by the World Health Organization however it continues to being reintroduced blah blah blah in 2018 371 cases of the measles were confirmed in the United States so it's kind of been around uh since 2018 I guess but we have never had also the measles vaccination is proven it is a proven vaccine to help a CO vac was not proven and there are so many repercussions now of That vaccine it's insane it's a proven vaccine now no it's not Co yes yeah proven that you're going to die from it or get blood clots in your lungs or all over your body proven that if you didn't get the jab you didn't get to keep your job dad had a friend die from it Haley John Lorac died from the vaccination yes COPD he got he never had it in his whole life he had to get the vaccination or he couldn't be a delivery man for a health uh it was a health company that delivered different things up on the East Coast he had to get the jab within six weeks he started getting ill went to the hospital they said you have COPD and stuff in your lungs he said what I've never had that what's going on they said I don't know it's kind of a weird strange thing then he had blood cluts in his legs what what's going on he died within a year and a half from taking that vaccine all right well there you have it some contrary evidence let's move how vaccines work I got the measles vaccine and I got the measles MH but not all vaccines are like that oh is that right they're not all live virus there're that is right let's move on to our final topic this is kind of a fun one Trump got smacked in the face during a press conference at a at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland Trump was accidentally struck in the face by a boom microphone operated by a female reporter Trump looked visibly outraged by the incident saying she just made television tonight she just became a big story right the reporter promptly apologized for the mishap mom dad do you think this woman should be fired no I saw it I saw the whole incident I sat on TV I laughed so hard it was ridiculous he gave her a star down like if like I'm GNA kill you but then he started to smile and said that about she'll be on TV tonight for sure um I wondered why she didn't say oh I'm sorry I mean she really she banged into him she apologized immediately oh I didn't hear that I watched it it's funny dad do you think she should be fired it was with a fuzzy boom thing too on the mic it was funny Haley let me ask you this do you think this should start a tradition among reporters to beat Donald Trump in the face with their mics oh stop it that's all I was thinking accidentally drop heavy equipment I'm not even saying heavy equipment just like a little microphone jabbing him in the mouth every 30 seconds during interviews I think would be absolutely hilarious there is one thing I am not enjoying about this and I will tell you I don't want to see musk's little kid anymore get on airplanes in the Oval Office that's ridiculous why is he doing that because Elon mus controls Donald Trump he owns him and he will do whatever he wants no I just don't understand why that little kid is just like always there it's ridiculous because Elon Musk bought the presidency oh my God here we go yeah what do you mean here we go have you ever seen anything like this have you ever seen anything like this where a sitting US president president is basically forced to be the surrogate babysitter of another person's child Donald Trump won the election with the votes the people that voted him in right but the people that voted him in uh voted him in almost specifically I think because Elon Musk paid hundreds of millions of dollars into the Trump campaign so that they could buy more ad time I don't know what they were doing with all the voting machines I remember Donald Trump saying that El the voting machines you don't even have to vote who knows what Elon Musk was doing behind the scenes but he gave Trump hundreds of millions of dollars and now he's everywhere Trump is he's looming over Trump when Trump is giving uh press conferences from the Oval Office selling cars on the White House lawn that's your he's doing commercials for his products that's your opinion no that that literally happened this week Trump did a commercial at the White House for Tesla hey his friend what's wrong with that I mean I would a lot of people think a lot is wrong with that okay yeah Trump is doing commercials for people that are not in his cabinet but they're in his immediate orbit I would say Elon Musk has more power than anybody in the cabinet at this point I just don't I don't think that little kid should be tagging along it doesn't look good I agree it looks like Donald Trump is being forced to babyit Elon musk's child want to say that no dad what do you whisper in there he's like this wind it up wind it up you there's something you got to watch on TV yes what what the press conference oh do you ever wonder why you don't see Melania do you ever wonder that she's on there right now I bet she gets paid a lot for every appearance I don't agree with that I know I had a couple of other I wanted to try this out real quick before we go just like a little bit of a lightning round because I had there were a bunch of other things that happened this week I just it's okay you'll be all right Dad I promise you're going to be okay lightning round I just wanted to get quick thoughts on this the Columbia protests uh and the Trump Tower protests so uh mmud Khalil was arrested he had a green card but he's arrested and they're threatening to deport him this was a guy at Columbia who led a protest and there were all these people protesting in the lobby of Trump Tower balls up to a car battery get him out of there it's terrible it's absolutely terrible like do you believe in free speech do you believe in free speech I believe in not from that damn Muslim loving America if your he has a green card yeah he needs to yeah goodbye need to turn it red and send his ass wherever he all those people protesting at universities get them out of here goodbye why why because they're protesting against our America America so all the people during the Vietnam War when they were protesting the war get them out of here damn right can't State boom boom boom damn right you're advocating for murdering students no get them out of here Deport them back to Country you just said they didn't break up protesting didn't break up got their ass shot I just said it Kent State when they were protesting the National Guard came in and killed yes and you are for that yes get them out of here Mom you're for murdering students yes Chad realiz I'm not putting words your mouth have you guys ever protested have you ever been to a protest no no I know you have we've seen we love our country but part of our country and what makes it great is that you can protest no that is what makes it great not burning the American flag not spitting on the American flag what makes America great is patriotism which you guys have no [ __ ] but the way that you express patriotism in some cases can be opposing current government protesting what the government is doing if you feel that is unjust wrong okay moving on uh funding was paused to the University of Maine this week do you think that that's something the President should be able to do no because why why was it because of the protesters yes yeah yes okay no uh we saw also Sarah McBride the only trans member of Congress this week was purposely misgendered by the guy leading a meeting she was in what do you think about that Mom and Dad I didn't see it I don't know is he a man or a woman the guy who led the meeting is her name is Sarah uhuh so he's a man no who who are you asking about whoever Sarah McBride somebody Sarah McBride is a woman the person leading the meeting was a man uhhuh and the man called Sir McBride Mr McBride yeah refusing Sarah bride said Thank you madam chairman and that was funny and that was going to be the end of it and then another Democratic Congress person jumped this got to do with the price eggs I was just curious about your opinion of it because it happened this don't have one I didn't see it it's the right being a bunch of babies yes absolutely all right you guys know about being babies this supposed to be a lightning round guantan Mo Bay immigrants shipped back to America lightning that Guantanamo Bay immigrants have been shipped back to America I don't know how many millions of dollars Trump spent building a camp at guantan Mo Bay for all these immigrants didn't work they shut it down and they shipped them all back a huge waste of taxpayer money mom what do you think about that I don't like wasting taxpayer money that's for sure well he's doing it Dad what what do you think about the waste of taxpayer money here Elan musk is supposed to clean it up they're cutting the fat yet they themselves are the fat he will no he's not the fat well what would you call this it was a huge waste of money no yes H next week we've got to bring up that Trump the 55 billion the 55 billion he's already saved us yeah I don't care about just remember this when you get your $5,000 check from all this fat that's being cut please Endor it over to me and Dad all right and finally our last lightning bolt here another plane caught fire at the Denver airport this week uh I had to take two flights this weekend uh to and from a wedding I was scared shitless during most of the flight just wondering like as soon as those Wheels hit the ground I was like is it GNA flip over are we gon to explode uh we had to travel not that long ago and um we booked the emergency exit seats on purpose hell yeah it's not funny because yeah and and and uh I don't know like we're going to fly here in in month or so and where are you going again I'm flying to Maine for what fun my birthday she's donating money to the University of Maine of course in person my birthday I want to go to aadia National Park before it doesn't exist wonderful all right well that wraps up our show we'll try and get this lightning around a little more lightningyoutube video format send it to the necessary conversation gmail.com before we go as always despite our political differences we are a family and a lot of people have been sending me DMS stop giving these Boomers a platform I don't want to hear their vile [ __ ] blah blah blah blah blah that will never happen because I truly do believe that we got to keep talking to each other it's the attitude saying don't give them a platform you should go no contact never talk to them again I think that attitude is partially why we are in this current mess if we can all come together but they don't see us as a family they're witnessing us fighting over politics yeah they don't see the other part of our family and that's what makes me upset and they are [ __ ] stories today okay fine all right don't no Mom sorry I didn't mean to cut you off what were you saying nothing they don't see our family in what finish your thought please two of the other episodes that we've had where we don't talk politics those are some of the favorite ones that people have dm' me about so why don't we do one of those all right maybe we will in the near future I don't think that's what this podcast is particularly about though because I mean part of it is also H like allowing each other to talk about our points of view on these things and at least being forced to listen as much as we can in this hour format okay dad has to go all right all right before we go that's fine before we go as always we must remind each other that we love each other despite our differences say Haley I love you Mom I love you dad I love you and all your [ __ ] stories he has more than anybody in this family mom I love you dad I love you Chad I love you I'm about ready to do like what Dad is I love you all no I love you Chad I love you Haley I love you both I love you all all right we will see you next week
