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. Welcome to the necessary conversation. I'm Chad Culin. me is my fellow lefty sister Haley Pope and my MAGA parents Bob and Mary Lou in a new room today where the internet is hopefully a little bit better. Um before we begin this right now as we're recording this there is news breaking of a mass shooting at a Mormon church in Michigan just outside Flint. We don't know much about it. This news is breaking about half an hour ago. Uh so we can't really unfortunately comment on that. I'm sure it will be a topic that we talk about probably next week, but as we record this, there's just there's not a lot known. Obviously, we hope as many people are okay as can be in that situation, but this just seems like an all too common thing that just happens basically every week now in the United States. >> Yes. Yeah. I thank you, mom, for alerting me. You're welcome. It was um and you know that's true. >> That's we we always talk about where do we get our news from? I get all mine from my mom. Um, I mean, I shouldn't laugh. It was bad. I I just saw it pop on the on the news and then I got on my iPad to see >> and the church was apparently on fire currently. >> Yeah, it said the church was on fire. The shooter is dead, but they don't know how many people he shot so far. So, we don't know yet. So, we can't talk about it yet. >> All right. Do you have any diddies? Um, well, not I guess as a diddy patriot of course goes to Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica. She now has taken over the the head of Turning Point, the new CEO. >> And my goodness, I mean, we wish her the best and and going forward and what a difficult job this will be, but she'll be able to do it, I think. Um, >> I want to ask a question about her real quick if you don't mind. Turn this into a little bit of a conversation more than a diddy. She is the CEO of this company that is making tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars a year. She had a bunch of money before this because she did her own kind of influencing thing. She is preaching the idea that all women should stay home and be subservient to their husbands. Yet she ain't doing that. >> No, that's not really what she was preaching. >> Okay. >> All right. Dad has to go to the bathroom now, child. All right, go for it. >> Early [ __ ] >> We're two minutes and 30 seconds into Okay, you did yours before. So, okay. >> Yeah. >> And you know that. Okay. So, what I'm saying about her. Yes, she does have all a couple businesses. I do believe a clothing line. >> It's also It's also what Charlie Kirk talked about like 247 non-stop. Women, you need to go find your husbands in college. That's your job. that's what you're doing there. You need to stay home. You need to raise the kids. >> You can still be married. You can still have businesses. You can still love your husband. You can be a partner with your husband. There's nothing. >> So, you disagree with them? >> Disagree with what? >> You're missing the point, Mom. The point is this. >> I always miss the point in your favor. >> I mean, that's now we're getting somewhere. uh Erica Kirk and there there's a bunch of other like Christian influencers that are like this. There's a big one from the Bachelor Nation named Madison Puit who married a billionaire and now runs her own giant podcast and a mega church and all this [ __ ] and is just raking money in preaching this ideology that all of you women out there should stay at home, raise your kids, don't have a job. But all of these women doing this are making boatloads of money in their own businesses selling that idea that they themselves are not following. >> I don't think I don't think um what do I want to say? The message was you have to stay at home. Okay, >> you can have children, raise your children, have a job, >> be a big part of their life is what they were saying. >> Okay, >> that's what I believe. Let me go on. >> Agree to disagree. >> Okay. Um, so now since that memorial, um, at that time there were 900 colleges that had chapters of Turning Point. Uh, there were 1,200 high schools that also had it within their high school. Since that memorial, 50,000 applications have come in for colleges, high schools, churches that want to have it. And I think that's great. Um, it's time. It's time to bring God God and faith back into our families. >> That just means all of the women are going to be single and never get married and never have babies. >> That is so weird you'd say that. I don't even see that with the things that I just said. >> This young conservative Christian male uh demographic, the grossest one that exists. Women don't want that [ __ ] >> I I totally agree. >> Eric Kirk does. Madison Puit does. >> I totally disagree. >> I just think too um >> they want that money. >> The people that disagreed with him and his philosophy and his going out to colleges and whatever he he did there, the people that disagreed, that's okay. You can disagree with him, but you don't have the right to uh make fun of what happened to him. >> Nobody's making fun of what happened to him. I saw so many clips where I it made my stomach. >> Yes, of course. There are there are random people online who always make fun of any tragedy that happens. But I'm saying >> I think Yeah, I think our United States needs to stop being so cruel. All of it. I mean, I love Donald Trump. >> I just love our United States, but the people within it, they're cruel. They're evil. >> What people What people are you talking about, >> Donald Trump? people that I saw on Tik Tok that were so terrible with his tragedy. Those people. >> What about Trump? What about Heg Seth? What about the guy who usually is sitting in that chair right next to you? >> I don't see him as cruel. I know him. >> He is calling for the murder of babies. >> I know him. He's He's spouting stuff that in his heart I don't think he believes. I really don't. >> Okay. Well, then can't you can't you have that same attitude about anybody else that you see online? No, because I don't know those people. >> And you know, I was thinking back today, >> hang on a minute. Hang on a minute. That's a good point that you brought up. I don't know those people. You don't have to know somebody personally to understand that very likely. >> They're just like you. They're just like dad. And if you believe dad can say this horrendous [ __ ] and not mean it, then you have to be able to extend that same attitude to anyone else. >> No, because I do not personally know them. >> That doesn't matter. Why do you have to personally know somebody? >> Charlie Kirk literally ran a platform of saying hateful [ __ ] >> and he appealed to this demographic of like really [ __ ] hateful young Republican Christian men and they just eat that [ __ ] up. >> Haley, >> he said he wouldn't he said he wouldn't go to a black lesbian surgeon >> because of those two things, three things. I'm sorry. I totally disagree. So, we're on >> What do you mean? >> We watched that clip. I played that very clip on the show where he said >> he said hate. He never said hateful things about anyone. >> That is [ __ ] hateful, dude. It's racist. It's misogynist. It's so many things. >> I'm sorry. I don't agree with you and I'm going to move on because I don't agree with you. >> All right. Move on, please. Jesus. >> Jesus, help us. Okay. on November 22nd. Getting back to uh Charlie Kirk a little bit. This is really cool. On November, I think this is correct. I've viewed it about three different places. On November 22nd, Megan uh Megan Kelly will be live and it will be one of the tour stops in um I think it's in Arizona. Oh, I didn't write down where it was. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I did that. >> Why do we care? >> I I care. Okay. I think it's going to be Arizona and on that tour stop she will have a live interview with Erica Kirk and I think it will be tuned in by >> right >> they said maybe a billion people. >> So do you find at all that it is is it gross to you in any way or bad to you in any way that the Republican machine is now just making so much money off of his death selling merch doing specials. JD Vance is hosting his podcast. 50,000 new applications, you're saying across the United States. They're just raking in money off of his corpse. >> No, I see that as faith, Chad. We need faith. We need religion back. We need faith. I see nothing about mon. >> Religion never went away. Anybody who wants to believe in any god they want can still do that. That never went away. >> See, this weird this weird like revival [ __ ] like what do you mean? You want everyone in this country to become Christian? Is that what that means to you? >> No. >> Yeah. >> I want everybody to have kindness in their heart to others. >> Just because you're Christian doesn't make you [ __ ] kind. >> Hang on a minute. You're sitting here saying that and both of you say racist [ __ ] Dad says super hateful [ __ ] >> You can't say I want everybody to have kindness in their heart and then be okay with him talking about wanting genocide >> and be nice. >> I'm not out shooting people yet. >> Be kind. >> Huh? What are you talking about? >> I'm talking about the other side. >> I told him be nice and kind. You're going to be good or adios and make >> all those people in my town that want me arrested and shut down. White conservative Christians. >> Here you are. Get on board. >> How you feel about that? >> Forget the board. >> Is that kind? >> No, it's not. No, it's not. It's like in today in today in the United States, if you don't see the same thing as the other side, then we're going to get you. We're gonna get you. That is not right. >> Trump is the one saying it. He says he hates his opponents. He literally said that. >> Is that why Biden got up there and called Trump a a Nazi, a dictator? That coming from the left has caused this too because he is those things. is a fact. What he's doing to the country is [ __ ] fascism. >> All right, look. >> No, it's not. >> Let's get into it. Hang on. Let's get into it. We're 10 minutes into this. We got to get into the show now. I'm going to start with a question to maybe hopefully simmer us down. It's not about any of this. Uh, it's an interesting question. Are you ready? >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> And by the way, if anybody out there wants to send a question, record it in a one minute or shorter audio or video clip. Send it to the necessary conversation [email protected]. Here we go. culture. My name is Charardia Murray and I live in Austin, Texas. Um, I have a question for the whole family. Um, and I apologize Chad, it may take a little bit of time, but I'm very curious to to hear the answers and how it differs from each other. My question is because there's a lot of talk about um illegals and come here the right way and you know when you're talking about people getting arrested after their court hearings and things. I want to know can you all describe what you how you believe the US immigration system works? So like what's the immigration process starting from either getting here or applying for citizenship and then you know being approved and then also can you then say how you would perfect the US immigration system because we always talk about how the system is broken. Thank you guys for your time. Can't wait to hear answers. >> Okay. So did you hear that? >> We we heard some of it but she spoke so soft. I think >> I'll break it down. The question is this. Dad, we're going to start with you or mom. One of you. I want to hear your answer. Dad, >> what? >> How does the US immigration system work? >> It doesn't. >> Okay. But how does a person become a citizen here? >> Oh, >> they need to come here legally. >> How? >> Wait time. >> How is that? >> Huh? >> How does it work? You come across the border, you get your papers, and then you come back a year or two from that and you apply for uh legal citizenship. >> So you have no idea how it works, Mom. >> No, I think it is flawed. I do believe >> how does it work? >> Once they come across the border, >> okay, >> they are supposed to give their name. They are supposed to have a court date from there. Then they a application apply and then um >> isn't that what I just said? >> Isn't it they can be issued their green card or their visa. >> I think you're the one that doesn't works. >> Neither one of you. >> If they're not a citizen, they have to be sponsored. Dad's company used to do this. >> They would sponsor them up to 20 25,000 a year. >> Yep. Then they would get their green card or visa to stay. Then they would have to go back to their country every so many years. Then they come back here to get that granted to stay more. Okay. >> But what was happening when the border was open, they were just coming across in thousands. >> Uhhuh. >> With none of that being done and off they went. We had 300,000 children. Where are they? They're trying to find them. Where are they? >> Okay. So >> So it so it it's flawed. It's completely flawed. >> No one's arguing it's not >> do you know how it works? >> Yeah. Well, you can apply for different visas to get in the country. You can be a student on a student visa. You can come to work or you can apply for citizenship. There's different ways to get into the country. >> What What did you and I not get out of that? >> Dad, you had no idea. You're like, you need to get your papers and then you come back and then you have no idea how it works. >> Mom and dad think that like it's just the mad rush. >> I only probably put I don't know 15 people through the process when I was at >> They think it's like the mad rush for the border, you know, like in the dirt and the sand and all this [ __ ] >> than you ever will in your life. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. very help. >> To my knowledge, >> there are separate categories of application for citizenship in the United States. You can do like a K1 visa is spousal. So, if you're engaged to somebody, you can apply for this. >> Yeah. That's what where 90-day fiance. That's where the show comes from. That visa, if it's approved, gives you 90 days to come into the country and get married in that time or you have to go back. If you get married, then you start a secondary process which can get you a green card or naturalization. And each of these comes with it. >> What part of that do we get wrong? >> And that process, these processes take like years. It doesn't just happen immediately. >> And some of these things, right? And so some of these things >> when you have your visa, like let's say that you come here for any of these reasons, you have to then prove uh in in some cases that I I think it's five years that you've lived here legally for five years with a job, etc., etc., right? >> You also have to take a test. They make you take a test, >> right? So in that time, in those five years, you're not a US citizen. ICE is taking some of those people right now who are in that process of staying here for five years to prove their visa is valid, blah blah blah. >> Get your ass out of here, >> right? But they're doing it legally. So you guys do understand that that's part of the process. There's a a period of time where you're not a US citizen. You have to be in the country. >> That's right. Nobody should get it free. He should ask, >> but >> but ICE is taking those people who were there in that fiveyear period. They're yanking them off the street. >> I just read that they have lost alligator. >> They've lost all records of like over a thousand people that ISIS taken. >> Don't know where they are. Don't know who they were. >> Okay. But what about >> people like this? Just your regular everyday [ __ ] person. >> But what about the people that did come across where those records were never taken? Where are they? That where are the 3,000 3,000 300,000 kids? Those records were never taken as they cross the border. So the whole thing is messed up. But who was president at that time? It wasn't who we have now. >> Who cares? How would you fix it is the secondary part of the question. >> I would fix it like this. to go back to be detained. Once you're detained, you have to look at their record. >> Have they committed a crime? If they have committed a crime and not serve the time, then they need to be detained. >> A stat just came out this week. There are more people currently in detention who have no criminal record than people who do. >> I do feel that's wrong. Okay. >> I feel that if they're being detained, you know, they've either like murdered someone, theft. >> No. >> Um, no. Yeah. >> Most of them have not at this point. >> Do we Where are those? >> Five years is a short term. >> Wonder where those stats are. >> Internet.net. >> Okay. >> Oh, there we go. >> All right. >> The internet. Oh my god. They're using the internet to find things. Um, my answer is this. This is how I would fix it. zero borders. Everybody comes in. All you're required to do is pay sales tax and income tax if you have a job. I I don't I just disagree with the idea of countries, personally. >> Wow. Okay. >> All right. Let's move on. >> You better find somewhere else to live. >> I'm trying. It's called the astral plane. >> You live in a country. >> Um, do I dare do this? Yeah, let's do it. Before we get to our first topic, we're already 20 minutes into this [ __ ] show. Before I get to our first topic, I want to play you guys a video that Donald Trump posted to his truth social. Are you ready? >> I'm very curious to see what you say about this. Can you guys see that? >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Breaking now, President Donald J. Trump has announced a historic new health care system, the launch of America's first medbed hospitals and a national medbed card for every citizen. >> Every American will soon receive their own MedBed card. With it, you'll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation. Equipped with the most advanced technology in the world, these facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength. This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare. >> In this first phase, only a limited number of medbed cards will be released. Registration details will be announced very soon. Breaking. Okay. So, >> what's that called? A what card? >> Med. >> A medbed card. >> Holy [ __ ] >> What? Have you guys started applying for your medbed card yet? >> I've never heard of it. >> You ain't getting a med. >> Hang on. Hang on. What did you think of that video? >> We don't have to apply. We're American citizens. We'll just get one. >> One step closer to [ __ ] dystopia. >> Hang on. MedB bed cards, short for medical beds, are part of a conspiracy theory. >> Uh-huh. >> Yeah. It's conspiracy. That's fake news. >> That's right. That whole video is AI. None of that is real. He posted it to his own account. >> Mama, >> that's good. I know. I I'm very surprised that you um were able to see through that. Dad still probably thinks the medbeds are real. This is complete fiction. Shaking his head. >> Complete fiction. Look it up. I've told you many times on this podcast. I have to research. I have to look things up. >> So, congratulations. You get the gold star. Donald Trump posted that video to his social media account. >> What is your reaction to that? >> Did he really? >> Yes, he really did. And then it came out all over the news. That was this morning. It came out on the news and then he deleted it >> on X. He deleted it >> on Truth Social. >> Wow. Huh? >> So, what do you think of that, Mom? >> Well, he didn't know that it was a conspiracy and he shouldn't have >> He's in the video. An AI version of him is in the video speaking. That is not actually him. He posted that to his own truth social. Dad, what's your reaction to this? He's posting AI fabrications as though it's real. You thought it was real, Dad. You said, "I I'm American. I'll get my medbed." >> Good. >> Why? Why do you think this would affect like the the White House official posts wild [ __ ] 247? This is no different. >> This is him posting a literal AI video of himself talking about a technology that does not exist. >> He posted a video of what he plans to do to Gaza. >> I understand this >> this is made to look it is is the AI generated thing looks like a Fox News piece. >> Sure. It's It's generated to look real. >> Yeah. >> Dad thought it [ __ ] was. >> That's I believe that's going to be like the future of this world. You're going to have to decipher what's [ __ ] real, what's not. >> And I just where it's headed. >> I just Googled what you guys said. It said, "Yes, according to reports, Donald Trump posted an AI generated video on true social account that appeared to promote medbed hospitals. He later deleted the video." >> Right. Dad, you're sitting there very silent. You were tricked by this. Admit that. >> Yes, he was. Were you? >> What? >> You were tricked by that little video. >> No, I just figured if that happens, I'm >> Oh, he said if it happened, >> it's not happening. >> He might as well have posted a video beaming you up to the [ __ ] Starship Enterprise. This isn't happening. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. You're so [ __ ] deep in the sauce. >> It doesn't matter, dumb. >> It does matter. You're calling me stupid. You just watched that video and thought you were gonna go to your med bed and fix your hips. >> Get some med I either get my I either get my med bed or I don't >> You're not getting your med bed. There's no medbed >> yet. Okay. >> [ __ ] Christ. All right, let's move on. >> Holy [ __ ] >> Holy. >> Our first topic finally. We're half an hour into the show. First topic. James Comey indicted. For the first time in US history, a former FBI director has been indicted. >> Okay. A federal grand jury in Virginia uh indicted James Comey with two counts. One count of making false statements to Congress and one count of obstruction of congressional proceeding, both centering on the testimony Comey gave in 2020 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, specifically his denial that he had authorized anyone in the FBI to leak to the press. Trump celebrated the indictment, calling Comey quote a bad person and a sick person as well as a dirty cop and corrupt, labeling him quote one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to. and he said he hopes there will be more weaponization of the legal system against other political opponents. Comey maintains his innocence in an Instagram video and said he's not afraid and ready to take this matter to trial. Maul, do you think Trump influenced this indictment at all? >> Hell yes. >> I think this was brewing from a long time ago. >> And that's not the question. That's not the question. Did Trump influence this indictment? Yes. >> I I think maybe yes. >> Okay. Both of you have said yes. >> Yes. >> Do you think the DOJ is supposed to operate independently without influence from any other political pressures, be it the president or anyone else? >> Yes. >> And it is now. >> No, but you have both just said it is not now. You said Trump did influence this. >> Trump did influence it and it needed to be influenced. >> Okay. But you both just said it shouldn't be influenced, >> right? >> No, I didn't say that. >> Yes, you did. >> Yeah, you did. I did, too. >> Mom did. >> No, you you literally said it five seconds ago. What is going on over there with that? >> You did. >> He wants a medbed. That's what >> he needs a medbed, but he ain't getting one. >> Cast light gatekeep girl boss. >> Okay, so Jesus Christ. That's That's rude. Haley, >> the Okay, this indictment is two pages long. There is no evidence in it whatsoever. >> Bumbling stuff about us. >> Do you think, Haley, that a judge is going to throw out this case before it goes to trial? >> God damn. Uh, that's always the question. >> Mhm. >> But >> no, >> I don't I'm probably not. No, I think it's like full send. I think we're full [ __ ] on board with Trump. I think everybody is uh bending the knee. I think >> it's going to go. >> Okay. >> Bad. Mad bed. Mad bed. >> Okay. Stop it. The charges that were brought he's had sleep, too. He's He's had B12. He's had his B12. The charges that were brought against him are number one, making a false statement to Congress, and number two, obstruction of a congressional proceeding, the 18 USC something. This is potentially the litmus test. If he can get away with this one, then all the rest are going to follow. So I we are going to see >> if it is successful, there are going to be lots of indictments and we're all [ __ ] >> So what it is, he had an employee. >> No, we're we're not all [ __ ] They are all [ __ ] >> You don't get it. You don't get what's happening. >> No, you don't get it. >> It starts with him attacking people that he tells you and that you perceive to be your enemies as well. And you're fine with that. He's cleaning house. He's getting rid of the people we don't like and he doesn't like. >> That's right. >> Once those people are gone, >> hang them all. >> Once those pe hang them all. >> Stop it. Stop it. >> That's what I'm saying. >> Every one of them Every one of them is a traitor to our country. >> Okay. Momsires being hung. >> Mom, you opened this podcast by saying, "Let's all be nicer to each other and stop the rhetoric." >> I know. Okay. >> Mom, being nice. Charlie Kirk wanted public executions by guillotine that children could watch starting at the age of 12. Is that kind? >> That's such a false claim. >> He literally said it. >> Okay, you can show me that next time. >> Nope. Prosecutors have alleged that Comey instructed a friend, a former Colombia law student professor, Daniel Richmond, to share information with the media after he was fired as FBI director in 2017 to the New New York Times. That friend publicly confirmed yes. He asked me to leak that. Then before the congressional hearing, Comey said, "No, >> I never did that." No, Tommy is a traitor and he lied. You can't lie. You can't lie. >> Trump lies all the time. You guys have admitted that. What are you talking about? Look, >> and that's not what lying doesn't matter. Lying doesn't matter. Lying doesn't matter. Lying doesn't matter. It's did he have >> uh fornowledge? Did he know he was lying or was he just saying what he thought was true at the time? Look, >> this doesn't matter. >> None of what you're talking about matters. This is the thing that matters. Okay, >> the sitting president just forced the hand of Pam Bondi, the the highest ranking cop in the land >> to do an indictment against a political enemy. That has never happened before in our uh in the history of the United States. Certainly, an FBI director has never been indicted for anything in the history of the United States. And we're now through the looking glass where Trump can put his thumb on the scale and say, "Go after this person. try to put them in jail for something that is not even a crime. Now, no >> Comey said, >> "Okay, >> has lied a lot, Chad. He's lied back at the Russian." >> Look, I don't like [ __ ] Comey. I think he's the reason Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. >> He's the reason we need execution. >> He's a liar. He's a liar. >> Okay, fine. You're not getting the point here. This doesn't stop at Comey. >> Okay, what's the point? >> Good one, Dad. >> What's the point? The point is it's not going to stop at Comey once he has rounded up. Let's say that this goes through. And I don't know that it will. I I do have some faith in our legal system that this will be thrown out or even if it goes to trial, he won't be found guilty. I could be wrong. God, I hope I'm not. But what it opens the door to, >> good one. What it opens the door to is um he can do this to anybody. And now he's going to go after Hillary Clinton and Adam Schiff and Barack Obama. No one's above the law. They were above the law when Biden was in charge of >> Trump is above the law. >> No one's above the law. >> Trump is. >> No, >> that's what this is proving. The the [ __ ] Supreme Court said he can do whatever he wants and he can't be tried criminally because he's the president. They they came out with that ruling earlier in his >> I see it the other way around. I see it now. All the people that have lied during the Biden era, they're going to go down. >> Okay. And then when Trump's out of office, quidd proquo, right? We get to throw him in jail. >> Trump won't be out of office. Then it'll be JD Vance and maybe I don't know. I don't know who will run with him, but JD Vance will be next. >> So you're happy to have >> one party, the party of billionaires, control everything, put their political, their ideological opponents in prison. That would include Haley and I. >> This isn't going to stop. This isn't going to stop with politicians. They are going to, if they can get this through, if they get Comey in [ __ ] jail, >> Adam Schiff, all the other people he's talking about will be in jail soon to follow, >> then they're going to come after Freedom of Speech. They already tried to do it with Jimmy Kimmel, which by the way backfired. He had the biggest ratings his show has ever had when he came back. So Trump gave him that. >> Yeah. Check him next week. >> And crocodile crocodile tears because he wanted his job back. >> Check his ratings next week. >> Okay. >> Now, let me tell you, Comey going to prison is >> he'll be in a crap. The only one uh you can blame for that is Comey. He's a liar. He got up there and lied. He's lied several times. Russia, Russia, Russia. He needs to go to jail. >> Medbed, medbed, medbed. China, China, China, Russia, Russia, Russia. That's how you guys do these these political arguments now. There there's >> Okay. >> Over and over and over with the same [ __ ] >> going on. So, you see no problem then with a sitting president directing his attorney general to go after whoever he wants? >> I don't really I mean I know we >> That's what Biden did. >> Who did Biden >> Okay. Who did he go after? >> He went after everybody. >> Yeah, he really did. >> Name one person. >> Trump. >> He He It's not who he went after, it's who he didn't go after. >> Okay. Please explain that. >> Yeah. He didn't do a goddamn thing with the DOJ put any of these [ __ ] in jail. >> That's right. >> Yeah, >> that makes him just as bad. >> Um, >> how about how about the sea shell thing? Let's get to that where Comey was like, "Oh, I found this on the in the sand." I hope they bring that up. >> I don't mean 47. >> I knew what that meant. >> Yeah, it means get rid of pants on fire. >> Good one. Okay. Liar, liar, pants on fire. Moving on. Second topic. Pete Hegsth. The once drunken Fox News host turned Secretary of War, Pete Hegsth, ordered almost all US generals and admirals, one star rank or higher, to attend a meeting in Quanico, Virginia at the Marine Corps University next Tuesday. >> Fire half of them. >> The meeting >> is expected to include a speech from HGth about new standards for fitness, grooming, and conduct in the military. Some speculate that Hexath might fire a significant portion of high-ranking military officers to give Trump more control of the military. Some speculate that he might be announcing a new military campaign, and others speculate that he might demand a pledge of loyalty to Trump over the Constitution from the generals. Critics have cited the risks of concentrating so many senior leaders in one place when it's not necessary. In August of 1934, Hitler gathered all high-ranking members of the German military in one place and forced them to pledge loyalty to him rather than the German Constitution. just for uh some historical reference. Okay, Dad. Militarily, you're the only one of us who have served in the military. Do you believe it's it's a good strategic move to get all of your highest ranking military officials in one place at one time? >> Yes. It's going to be easy to stick a finger out and point it at you and go, "You're fired." >> Okay. And you think that's a good idea? >> I think it's a great idea. >> Why? Who needs 800 [ __ ] generals and admirals? >> Well, you're constantly talking about how we need to have a bigger military and spend more money on the military. Now you're advocating for reducing it. >> Soldiers, not executives. >> What do you think generals are? >> Executives. >> Are they not soldiers who have risen through the ranks? >> No, most of them have not. >> Is that accurate? >> Yeah. They never spent a day pounding the ground. >> I don't know if that's true, Mom. >> Well, you need to look it up. GI Joe. >> Where should I look it up, Snake Eyes? >> GI Joe. I like that one. >> Where should I look it up? You before said the internet was an invalid source of information. So, where should I look it up? Do I need to go to a library? >> Pete H. >> What question are we asking? >> He's going to point them out for you. >> What question are we asking? >> What is going on? Dad is like [ __ ] in outer space today. >> What? We have 800. That is that the question we were asking? >> I don't know how many are going to be there. Um I don't know. >> Fire 120 of them. >> But so the idea is this. This is extremely rare if it has ever happened that the person who runs the Pentagon has called in all the top ranking military officials into one place for some meeting. They're not telling them what the meeting's about. There's all this speculation about what he might be doing. Firing them, telling them they have to get a bare haircut. I don't I don't know what's going on. Um, if mom, these military leaders are asked to pledge loyalty to Trump over the Constitution, do you think they should? >> Yes. But they're not going to be asked that. >> They're not going to be asked that. They're going to be pledge allegiance to the United States of America and to the president that we have elect been elected. They won't be asked to that's they're going to talk about strategy and getting stronger as a nation and maybe some might be fired. Maybe some will be kept. Listen to this. We have 900 active generals. It says, >> okay, >> 300 in the Army, 300 in the Air Force, 220 in the Navy, and 80 in the Marine Corp. Coast Guard 30. That's a lot. >> And you want to drop that number? >> No, I don't. >> I do. >> Dad, why do you >> don't need them? >> Who will give the orders? >> Jets on a board. >> Oh, God. >> How do you How do you disseminate the orders? How do you I mean, that's what the system is in the military. I'm I'm going to trust Pete Heg Seth to pick the bad ones. >> But who do they get replaced with? Who's giving the orders to the guys that are under them? >> I know. Hey, there's where you wrong. >> They won't be replaced. >> Hey, >> how do you Who's giving them orders? Who's the guys that they're in charge of now? Let's say they get fired. So, there's nobody now above those guys. Who's giving them the orders? >> You fire one general that there's another one to take his place. >> You know what? So, you do want them >> just going to reduce No, you shut up a minute. They're just going to reduce the amount of these [ __ ] fools that we have running our military. >> Be kind and quit saying to shut up. >> No, they just want control of the military. That's what this is all about. Donald Trump wants control of the United States military. >> Okay. How about this? How about he might? >> And you're trying to tell me over the past 12 years that uh people like Joe Biden and Barack Obama haven't controlled the military. >> They have never asked for. >> We got LGBTQ sitting in foxholes. We got people flying planes who can't fly who can't fly. >> Oh my god. It's always with the foxhole, you guys. Jesus Christ. >> What foxholes do you think we have US soldiers in right now, Dad? >> Bayonets and foxholes. >> Plenty. What if you guys are all wrong and he's gonna talk about like >> truck your ass over to South Korea and and take a look around? >> Truck it. >> What if you're all wrong? >> Get your ass to South Korea and tell me how many are in foxholes. >> And he's going to talk about tens of thousands >> different defenses for the United States because now this is at the greatest time ever. We need defense in our United States. I'm afraid the big cities are going to be hit by al-Qaeda again, by all kinds of bad people. >> They're being hit by our own military. Portland, for example. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Washington DC, for example. >> Oh gosh. >> Send them into California. >> How did you guys not see that? Like, you lived through Kent State. You lived through all the civil rights leaders getting assassinated in the 60s. >> Do you remember what that time was like? Like what it felt like in America? You were little kids or you were teenagers, I guess. But >> turmoil. It was turmoil. And we're Yeah, we're back there. We are back there. I do believe it. >> Right. So, do you think that's a good thing? >> Yeah. >> No. But I do believe cleaning up the crime in our streets is a good thing. >> Okay. >> Giving homeless people a place to live is a good thing. >> Helping them with mental illness is a good thing. >> Okay. I agree with all that. >> But they're not doing that. Yes, they are. That's your opinion. >> Okay, let me let me ask you this. Um, let's say that he does ask these uh generals and high ranking military officers to take a pledge of allegiance to Donald Trump. Let's say that he does do that. >> Stop. >> You okay, Dad? >> Okay. Did you hear what he said? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, >> dad needs a >> a bed. Maybe not a med bed, huh? >> What's the question? The question is if they don't pledge their allegiance, if there are some of these military leaders that are like, "No, my allegiance is to the Constitution and the country. I will never swear allegiance to a single man." What should happen? >> What should happen to them? >> Ouch. >> They pledge allegiance to our United States, >> United States of America and our president and everybody underneath. >> No, they get [ __ ] fired. >> They don't have to do that. That's not what the military is. The military is an a-olitical organization. Their only allegiance is to the Constitution of the United States >> that follows the direction of our president. >> No, the president also follows the direction of the Constitution of the United States >> until now. Trump is basically trying to put himself above the Constitution >> 12 years ago. >> Oh my goodness. I've always thought the president >> we haven't had a legitimate military in 12 years. Who leads military? >> Who leads the military? >> There's the commander-in-chief. That's the president of the United States. >> The president. There you go. >> But how it's supposed to work, >> how it's supposed to work is >> everyone in our government, all branches, which is the you know what they are. >> Yes. >> The three branches of government, >> they exist only in service of what is outlined in the constitution. that three equal but separate powered branches, >> all the amendments, etc., etc. Our military is there to defend our country. That is it. They are not here to do law enforcement, which is what Trump is. Uh, >> that's what they've been doing for 12 years. >> You keep saying 12 years. I don't even understand what you're talking about. >> I know you don't. >> Cool. So, and you don't want to explain it in this conversation we're supposed to be having? No, I don't want to explain it. I've explained it to you till I'm [ __ ] green. >> Okay, let's move on to let's do Tylenol next. This week, Trump backed by RFK and reality TV Dr. Oz made the claim that taking Tylenol while pregnant causes autism and he urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol and parents not to give it to infants, literally saying the phrase, "Don't take Tylenol around a dozen times." Trump attri Trump attributed I'm going to start calling him Trump. Trip attributed the claim to a side effect of the active. Huh? >> I told him if he's going to do that with his hat, he could leave. >> I do want to ask you this question, Dad. As the podcast has gone on, you seem less interested in it. You're just kind of like, you know, I'll say something and then you'll be like, "No." And you don't really engage in the conversations anymore. >> We have engaged in the same conversation about these same topics till I'm [ __ ] sick of it. >> Okay. Well, this is a new topic because this just happened this week. Trump came out and said, "Don't take Tylenol." The FDA responded by initiating a label change process. Uh, and the label change basically says that it reflects the evidence suggesting the use of acetamin. >> Take Tylenol if you don't want your child to be autistic. >> Okay, let's just move right to it because dad won't even let me read the news of it. I do want to say this though, the first diagnosis of autism was uh in 1943. The first Tylenol hit the shelves in 1955. Just for historical accuracy. Okay. >> Then now, how many autistic kids are there versus then? >> My first question it >> my first question big guy is to mom. >> How much Tylenol did you take when you were pregnant with me? >> I probably took some. >> You eat on it. >> We got the tism boosters. Autistic as hell. >> We got those tism boosters. >> We do have some moments of Yeah. But anyway, no, that's not even funny to tease about because we know autism is is hard. >> Autism. >> Here's what I wanted to say. I went and grabbed my Tylenol bottle right now. >> Yeah. >> And on there it reads it reads >> consult a health professional before taking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. >> Yeah. So, it's funny that Trump and Kennedy came out and said, they didn't say it causes it. They said be aware. >> They said be aware. >> He literally said, "Do not take Tylenol." Which, by the way, blaming blaming pregnant women again for something like autism, like this is your fault. Do not take Tylenol. It is your fault. It is Tylenol's fault. >> I watched that over and over. They did not claim a direct fault, but they said it needs to be further investigated, evaluated, and and consult before you take it. Be aware from that. You should see all the clips of everybody pregnant down in Tylenol. >> Tylenol does not cause >> Trump would say, "Let's um close let's >> how do we go from one in 10,000 to one in 31 >> medical [ __ ] research?" Oh, >> studies. >> It it likely was a similar rate of autism in the human population. We just have better ways of detecting it now. Obviously, technology, medical advancements allow you to make better diagnoses through time. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh, >> what do you mean? Oh, yeah. >> I just think whatever Trump I just think whatever Trump says, people do completely the opposite now. >> [ __ ] [ __ ] Yeah, he's an idiot. pregnant moms now on clips just down in the Tylenol when it says consult your physician on there before you take this. >> What is a pregnant what is a pregnant woman supposed to take now? He basically just said tough it out. >> I do not know because I'm not a pregnant woman, but I would consult with my doctor. >> All right. Well, I I can definitely tell you that my doctor told me Tylenol is safe and I can say it did not cause autism. >> Okay. Tylenol does not cause autism. Are you buying that? >> Like you're believing that? >> Uh, I'm believing some of it. Yes, I am. Because autism rates have gone up and up and up. >> Do you believe that? >> What do you think autism is? Let me ask you that. >> Yeah. Right. >> Mom, Dad, I'm gonna ask dad. Let me ask you, Dad. What is autism? >> Well, it affects your brain and how you function in daily work. You can be highly >> So does a [ __ ] ham sandwich. What is What do you mean? >> What? >> It's not true. >> I'll give you the exact. >> Okay. >> Look in the mirror. >> Uhhuh. I am >> to some degree. I am right now. And it's horrifying. >> Do you think that any of us have autism, Dad? It is a it is a neurodedevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially and experiences the world. There are highly functioning autistic people that you would >> think are brilliant. >> Yeah. >> Savants >> like like really good, >> you know, like like what do I say? They can communicate well. Everything's great. But then lower level you can see communication. Some don't ever talk. >> Of course. nonverbal. They have psychic powers. >> Nonverbal. >> Let me ask you this. >> They cannot interact socially. >> When Haley and I were kids, did you ever suspect us? >> No. I thought you were both brilliant. >> Sure. But did you ever notice like I have become aware of this as an adult and now I'm looking back at my life and just like seeing a lot of [ __ ] and being like, "Oh god." Yeah. >> Did you notice when I was a little kid that I was extremely like introverted, shy, would never speak to anybody at school, [ __ ] like that? >> No. >> Okay. It was because I was uh how do you say acrewing information? I was basically just observing people and being like, "Oh, this is how I should talk. This is how I should interact with people." I basically was just like picking and choosing little social interactions that I would see and then I would mimic those. And as a kid, I thought like everybody must be doing that. Now I realized I was making my own strange database of human behaviors in my brain so that I could blend in a little better. Um, >> so you were thinking you were on that. >> How about this? How about this? I'm definitely >> I had I had like 30 pairs of Doc Martens and every night before I'd go to sleep ritualistically, I would polish them, put all of the shoelaces inside the tongue, like set them up all nice and tight. All my clothes were colorcoded in my closet. >> That's OCD. >> OCD. And you got dad's OCD. >> Take that back. It wasn't 30, it was 60. >> Nice. Um also with autism there is a sensory um spectrum that like feel touch >> light >> I can't eat >> I can't eat certain things like I just can't >> yeah I got hyperensitivities with great lies and things like that. >> I want to ask one more question about this. Last week, we were talking about uh Trump called all of his followers dumb. And I wanted to play a clip of Trump right now and then ask you a question. Let's watch this. >> Uh effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of said well let's see how we say that >> acetaminophen acetaminophen. Is that okay? All right. Do you think Trump's a smart person? >> Jesus Christ. >> Yikes. >> Do you think he's smart, >> Dad? >> Yep. >> In business, for sure. >> Mom, do you think he's smart? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> So, you think he's briefed on this? You're going to go in front of a bunch of cameras and you're going to say Tylenol is poison and you're going to say the active ingredient in it is acetaminophen. He doesn't read through that. He doesn't think to himself, "Shit, I can't even pronounce the thing that I'm about to call poison and tank the company that makes Tylenol's stock by 7% instantaneously." He's not even aware that he might have to do that. Dad, are you with us? >> Looking at the cobwebs. >> The weird part is >> the time. >> I never saw that clip. So, where did you get that from? >> It's all over the [ __ ] internet. >> Where did I get it from? >> No, that's >> I really haven't seen that one. >> Oh god. The danger in all of this is that up until this point, the only safe fever reducer and pain relief for pregnant women >> has been Tylenol. Okay. >> What about Advil? >> Like ibuprofen. They recommend that you take Tylenol. So also children like very young children, acetammenophen that kind of like doubled with ibuprofen. You can take one every six, one every four. That is a fever reducer. I was told because I was sick one time and I was pregnant, you need to make sure you keep your fever down because that can affect the fetus. If children spike high high fevers, they can stroke out and [ __ ] die. So, it's very irresponsible to come onto the [ __ ] social media and tell the entire American public, pregnant women, don't ever take Tylenol. Do not give this to your kids. Basically, Tylenol is dangerous. That's very irresponsible >> and very true. >> And RFK literally just stands around the stage with like a tobacco pouch in his [ __ ] mouth, rotten teeth, and he can barely [ __ ] utter a sentence. But like, we're taking our health information from this sack of [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Like, it's wild to me that you guys are on board with this. Have you seen him? I take it from doctors and scientific and there >> I I gave Chad a clip. Maybe we'll do it. >> There certainly are reports and there are things that link acetaminophen to autism and ADHD and all this kind of [ __ ] The veracity of those things I I'm not sure. I know there is some link that that people seem to think is real. Um >> but the bottom line is >> Yeah. They also said the MMR shot too possibly, >> right? The the vaccines for measles and MOS. >> Although, let me point out autism is not it's nothing fatal. People live with it every day. They're making it seem as though autism is this epidemic that we need to eradicate. There are people with autism all over the social over all over social media trying to explain you're you're trying to say that there's something wrong with me. You're trying to say that I'm less than. And that's a dangerous [ __ ] battle. >> I'm trying to tell you that there are so many people out there >> who have autism that are so so dysfunctional. >> They have to live with their [ __ ] mom and dad for their entire life. >> And that, >> right? But that's not everybody. Elon Musk has [ __ ] autism. >> Yeah, I know. >> And I know plenty of them. >> He doesn't know plenty, but we know a few. And that would be very hard to have a child like that grow up as an adult that needs parental there the whole time or then you have to find a home or an institution for them. And I guess because the rate numbers going up, people are trying to find out why and what's causing it >> because we're researching it. >> And aren't boys there's more boys than girls? >> I got news for you. Most of the w the women who have autistic children who are stuck at home with them believe what Trump said. >> How do you know? >> I happen to know one that she does believe it was Tylenol. >> Okay. So, you know one woman >> and you're saying that means all women? >> I know. I know three different people who have it. >> Also antiaxers, I'm assuming. >> No. >> No. >> All right. I last week we were talking about this and I wanted to ask this question. This is why >> this is why I played this clip. >> I wanted to ask you believe Trump is smart. You think you're smart? Dad, are you okay? >> Do you need to go? >> No. >> Are you getting ready to go to sleep? >> You just are like not engaged with this at all any of the weeks that we're doing in >> Look at Chad. >> I just want you to like be present in the conversation. >> I am. You're absolutely not. >> Are you kidding? >> Okay. Okay. My question then I'll go to you, Dad. >> Well, you're you're told conversations about does this give kids autism? My answer is yes. Yours is no. >> Okay. >> Go ahead, >> Dad. What do you think makes a smart person? >> Somebody who can do stuff that other people can't. >> Okay. What does that mean? That's what it means. >> Explain. I don't even understand. >> Okay. I mean, by that definition, everyone is a smart person. >> No. >> Why? Everybody can do something that no one else can. That's the >> No, that's not true at all. >> It absolutely is true. >> No, it's absolutely not true. >> Every human being is a unique individual. >> Not true. >> Okay. Other than twins, I guess. What are you talking about? What things? daily life. >> I know what word he's searching for. I'm going to say it. He's not going to get my word. >> I don't know what's happening here. Um, what you're saying doesn't make any sense >> to you >> or anyone else listening. You're saying a smart person is somebody who can do something no one else can. And I'm saying every human being is unique. >> And you left out a very big sentence >> in daily life. >> Right. Sure. in daily life. So every human being does everything slightly differently than everyone else. Meaning we are all performing unique tasks. >> So you got people who don't do on a daily basis what everyone else does. That's just a boldfaced [ __ ] >> A boldface [ __ ] >> What things are you talking about? Intellectual things. Physical things. >> How about wiping your own ass? >> That makes you smart. >> Oh my god. >> This is what I'm talking about. you you're not engaging with the question at all. You're saying this weird [ __ ] and then you throw out an insult. You have no answer to the question. And I don't understand why that is. >> Listen to your question. >> Like problem solving. Um >> you you can't do half the stuff you think you can. >> You've adopted this weird persona that exists only to like say weird off-handed [ __ ] You're not engaging in the actual conversation anymore. >> Neither are you. >> Give us the question again. >> You just give me the same old [ __ ] over and over. I think smart I think smart people are open to smart people want to grow and in growth there is discomfort. Sometimes you're wrong. You have to admit that you have to seek truths and knowledge. What makes you smart is an open mind. You have to be open-minded. And you guys are so closed. Like if you could just [ __ ] open up a little bit, you could comprehend some of these things that are like right in front of you. But you have to be open to that. >> With with politics, we're never going to because we believe one thing, you believe something else. >> No, because you're closed. You're completely closed off. And that's why >> I problem solve. I Google. I look. I try to figure out the right things. I knew that AI wasn't right. Now, that's I guess I'm a stupid person. >> I'm not asking. I'm not suggesting either of you are stupid people. I'm literally curious about what you think makes a smart person in context of Trump because I'm trying to show you these videos every week where he can't even pronounce acetto menophen as he's literally saying it's poison >> or where he doesn't know what two countries he solved a war between and he makes up the name of one. I'm just saying like I want you to look at Trump and and evaluate it with these kind of bigger questions about like what do you think a smart person is? Mom, I'm gonna ask you that. I think it's someone who can solve problems, someone who has had experience, >> um, can solve a problem in a good way over someone that can't, can lead people, can go in the right direction. >> And you believe Trump is doing those things? >> Kind heart, good values. >> Kind heart, good values. You think that's Trump? >> Yes, I do. I think he's leading our country just fine. >> Our country is in disaster. It's in disarray and chaos. You would agree with that. >> There's a new mass shooting every week. We just talked about one at the top of this. We still don't know what's what's happening with it. >> Yeah, that's about to thin out. >> We've got US troops in major United States cities turning their machine guns on citizens. We've got mass men in the streets kidnapping people without due process being deported to third world countries. Uh all prices of daily goods are up >> up. >> He he has promised those would go down. They have not. They have gone up. We've got a president going after his political enemies. >> I want to talk about Can I talk about >> eggs and gasoline are both down? >> Can I talk about mental state? You know, I thought about this the other day. Why are there so many guns? Why are there so many shootings? Why is pe the people's mental state going crazy right now? Dark evil. I feel when we were locked down with that dumb COVID stuff and we could not go out of the house. We could not even go into stores. Our children could not go to schools. That did a number on all of us mentally. >> And I think it's just now catching up. I really do. I know it's catching up in the schools. And I now I think it's catching up as we go out and social to be around people. I truly believe that's a big part of it. >> I do too. I I think that there's a lot of psychological damage that did to the entire global population that we're not even really contending with or or looking at in any serious way right now. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But other countries who uh went through CO just like us are not shooting people up every day >> because they do not have lax gun laws. >> Speaking of other countries, we have just a short amount of time, but I wanted to get to this final topic. Trump at the UN. This week, as Trump was making his way to deliver a speech at the UN, an escalator stopped working just as he was about to step on, Trump publicly alleged that what happened was triple sabotage. The escalator stopping, uh the teleprompter failing and audio sound issues. During his speech, he called for an immediate investigation, including by the Secret Service, and demanded that security footage and logs be preserved and arrests be made. However, the escalator stopped when a videographer ahead of Trump on the escalator inadvertently activated the escalator's safety feature by walking backward while shooting video. At the speech, his teleprompter malfunction, prompting him into a rambling hour-long speech with extensive criticism of the UN and European countries airing of grievances like a a failed real estate bid to redesign the UN building and attacks on green energy initiatives that came with a warning that Western nations were quote going to hell. Dad, do you think Trump was sabotaged on purpose on that escalator? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, I just told you what happened. I literally just told you what happened. And you still believe it was sabotage? >> Yes. >> Mom, do you believe it was sabotage? >> Probably not. But he probably thought he was. I mean, if you've been shot at a couple times, if you've been tried to been shot at and assassinated and taken down, wouldn't you think that somebody was stopping that to get you? I would. >> I'm sorry. The escalator. >> Yes. Just making him walk up an escalator was going to do it. >> Well, I mean, he is in bad shape. >> They held him. That escalator stopped him, so he was not in motion. But now, now the whole world knows it was stopped because a guy with a camera who was worked for Trump's team, I believe, was shooting video of him coming up the escalator. And when that guy walked up it backwards, that triggered this fail safe >> so that people don't die on the escalator. Correct. >> Nonetheless, that triple sabotage and all that [ __ ] he said it immediately that comes out. What do you think the rest of the world thinks when they see this big baby saying, "They sabotaged me. arrest everybody. My escalator didn't work. >> Well, just like me, I they're not going to arrest people, but in my brain, I was thinking they stopped it so they could get a shot at him or something. That's what I was thinking. >> What? >> Because the slowmoving escalator, if they were going to shoot him, it would be too hard for them to shoot him as he was moving 0.01 miles an hour up an escalator. >> Okay, laugh. I don't care. >> I am laughing. And what and what did they do? They walked right up the steps and kept going. Right. >> And then he called for arrests and investigations because an escalator stopped working. >> Like like I said, the man's been shot at twice. I'd be scared, too. >> Do you think that's a smart person that an escalator stops working and immediately he call he calls for arrests and investigations? >> Because an escalator stopped? >> Why not? Yes. >> Okay. Dad, are you okay? >> Yeah. >> All right. Why do you keep asking me that? >> He had a good day. >> Because your your inability to engage in the conversation is getting worse and worse with every episode. >> That's because you keep bringing up the same [ __ ] over and over and over. >> Okay. >> And I'm tired. >> It's not the same [ __ ] I'm bringing up >> I'm tired of answering the same [ __ ] questions every week. >> But this is the first time Donald Trump got stuck on an escalator. >> Yeah, it's new news every week. But okay. Well, let me ask you this. What would make you more engaged in the conversation? How could we change the show to facilitate what you want to talk about or or what would get you more into this? >> You want to bring a topic next time? >> Talk about what I want to talk about. >> Great. Do you want I'll let you do the whole show. If you want to come up with six topics, >> I know we don't want to do the whole show. I tried. It's very hard. You know that. >> If you want to do one topic, send me a link to something that you want to talk about. I'll write it up and we'll do it. >> We can do that. A lady in Flower Mound went viral, guys. I saw that. >> She uh screamed at I think just like a Latina lady in her car like waiting for an Uber Eatats order. >> This is Flower Mound. >> Walked up to the car and was like, >> "You don't you don't belong here. You need to get your illegal ass out of here." [ __ ] like that. And she went viral in Flower Mound. Like that's the same kind of people that I deal with.
