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. >> Howdy. >> Welcome to the necessary conversation. And today, as you can see, my sister has abandoned us. >> Mhm. >> High off of all the Democratic winds across the country, she's decided to celebrate by going on a vacation and leaving us high and dry this week. >> And let's hope that she can make it back home [clears throat] >> for real. Well, we're supposed to come out and visit you guys, too, in about a monthish. >> Yes. Let's hope the Democrats get smart and turn this around and open our country. >> We're going to talk about >> We just had a red wave. >> What? >> We just had a red wave, so we're going to we're going to win. >> Huh? What was the red wave? >> What are you talking about? >> He thinks we had a blue wave. >> Okay, we'll talk about create a red wave. >> We'll talk about that in a minute. >> That's one of our topics. Uh Mom, do you have any diddies to start us off today? >> Yes, we're podcasting today, Sunday. November the 11th, 2025. >> So, we're podcasting on the 9th. Veterans Day is next Tuesday, November the 11th. And we would like to honor and thank everyone who have served and are currently serving and then who have in the past and retired too, who have also served and retired. So, I tried to include everybody in there. Uh thank you for everything you did so that we can have our freedom so that we can actually do a podcast like this today. God bless all of you and there are a few in our family even dad's dad John Lambert Colchen my father Leo William Pine uh we have uncles um >> John >> Uncle John Zelinka >> uh Uncle Merl Libsack in fact he was in Israel he used to count ships in Israel I remember this as a little girl I said where's Uncle Merl he's in Israel counting ships I was like okay but don't tell anybody um And then dad had another uncle Jerome Brim. And then I think we have one other one, but I wasn't for sure, but I think Harold Elely. So all of those people have served and thank you. Those were our family members along with other people's family members. We thank you. >> Have you seen the videos and images of US military in food lines currently? >> No, I have not. >> Well, that's happening. Do you think they're being thanked properly by >> No, I don't. I don't either. All right, >> that's Schumer's talk. >> Okay, we'll get to it. Um, is that a moment? >> Okay, sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. >> Uh, bye-bye Nancy. I thought you would have that as a topic. >> Bye-bye Nancy Pelosi. She sake not. >> The old Krabby Bag is finally giving it up [laughter] >> since she's fleec since she's fleeced the country for tens of millions of dollars >> by insider trading. >> Yeah. >> Now she's going to quit. >> It's probably more likeundred million. >> She's a rotten pile of [ __ ] >> Okay, >> I agree with you 100%. However, if you have that attitude about her, you have to have it about Trump as well. He has free the country for billions of dollars. You know why? You know the difference? >> You don't have to yell. >> What is it? >> She She got away with this murder for 40 years. He's done it for two or three max. And you haven't proven one drop that he's gotten richer off of it. >> That Yes, that's been proven every day. He's doubled his net worth in the past 10 months. >> No. >> Okay, let me get back to my diddy. Hello. >> That's your bad. Um, >> her assets went from like 3 million to like I think they're calculating 50 >> no 20 >> 27 million I think including all her husband's transactions. >> So Trump has gone from 2.8 billion to 7 billion in the last 10 months. >> Good for him. >> Okay. >> I don't understand. Hang on, Mom. Hang on. I don't understand why you hate Nancy Pelosi for doing something but not Trump for doing the exact same thing. because she did it for 40 years. >> So, it's just a length of time. Trump's only been doing it for a decade. >> No, I think >> Trump hadn't been doing it at all. >> I think she focused on >> That's your bad news reporting. >> Hang on a minute, Mom. Hang on. You're saying Trump hasn't been doing it at all? Mom and I talked this very week on our Wednesday episode about Trump pardoning the guy who founded Binance. That guy helped Trump get $2 billion in cryptocurrency, then he just pardons him. How do you not find that as corrupt as what as Nancy Pelosi doing insider trading? Is there no one's as corrupt as Nancy Pelosi? >> Okay, wait a minute. Donald Trump worst. She's the worst Washington has ever had. >> Okay, let's say >> Hang on. Hold on. Hang on. Hang on. I'm sorry. Just let me make this point. >> Unmitigated [ __ ] >> Okay. >> The best thing and the only justice in the world can be if she doesn't make it to [ __ ] 90. >> Okay. Donald Trump in speaking of insider trading, you seem to be pissed most at that. Donald Trump literally tweets out a good day to buy stocks right before he knows he's going to tank the economy with a tariff. He's he's literally prot he's controlling insider trading. >> Oh god, he he controls he's more powerful than Chad even thinks. >> Here's my difference on the the take of both of them. >> Okay, >> she wanted to destroy our America. She wanted to take it down. >> Mhm. >> And she did that and and got rich. >> He, our president, wants to make our America better. At the same time, he is getting more rich. I would take the one that wants to make our country better >> than the one that wants to take it down. >> She is a creepy old bag of [ __ ] >> Okay. >> And the best thing in the world that can happen is she dies before she's 90. >> Okay, this is funny. >> I've heard that already. You're recycling your own strange jokes. >> How could my diddy get out of control already? This is insane. Now, let me talk for a second. >> Hang on, Mom. I want to ask you one thing. You're talking about Trump is stealing money from everybody, but he's doing it to make America great, so he's good. Did you see this week that this is not one of our topics? He pardoned a guy who was a Chinese secret asset. >> I did not see that. I saw that crypto guy he did that we talked about. >> He pardoned a guy this week. Uh, god, do I have his name up here in the top of this? Michael McDonald was this guy's name. He was an unregistered Chinese spy working in America to try and intimidate a couple into moving back to China so they could face charges. >> Yeah. >> Who said he was? >> Yeah. Where'd you get it? >> The federal judicial system. He was convicted of this >> serving a sentence and Trump just pardoned him because or he hasn't served his sentence yet. He was waiting to go in and serve the sentence. In that time that he was waiting, him and I think his wife or somebody went to Trump's inauguration. I believe they've donated money. And so Trump is like, he's a patriot. I'll pardon him. He's a [ __ ] Chinese spy. >> I have to I have to research that one because I didn't hear about that one. >> All right. >> That ain't worse than, you know, what's his name? Stillwell or Saltwell that dated the Chinese spy. >> Okay. >> I don't understand how you can dismiss this, Dad. are constantly like anti-China, China this, China's going to kill America. I'm telling you Trump has pardoned a Chinese billionaire. The guy who >> No, you're telling me what you read on your news says that. I don't >> You can't just dismiss everything I say that you think I'm making. >> You can dismiss everything you say. >> All right. >> Then I can dismiss everything you say. >> Well, that's fine. We We agree not to agree. >> This is Democrat, Republican, Democrat, Republican. You're the blue. You're the blue wave that just started the red wave. >> Can I get through my diddy, please? >> Sorry. Go ahead, Mom. >> What I think is funny that Donald Trump said about Pelosi, he said she was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things in our country. I am honored. He said, "She impeached me twice, and she failed miserably twice." That's what he said. Then the part that I will always remember about her was when she tore up the State of the Union address, >> which by the way is a crime >> in 2020. That was the most crazy, terrible thing I've ever seen on TV right there before our eyes and she took it and just like ripped it out. >> That was the most terrible thing you've ever seen on TV. Well, in regard to a president who's just giving a his uh speech and she because she's evil ripped it up. No one has ever done that. >> She's always thought she's more powerful than anybody else. >> Yeah. Bye-bye, Nancy. That's enough about her. >> You old bag. Hope you die. >> Okay, that wasn't nice. >> I'm not nice. Hope she gets a big old >> Oh, stop >> dose of something. >> Stop. Stop. Those were my diddies. I'm done. >> Okay. Before we get into the main meat of the show, I wanted to take this opportunity to play a clip for both of you. This is an ice raid. Are you ready? >> Yep. >> We're going to watch it with no context. Then we can talk about it. >> Here we go. >> I'm not touching the car. Leave me alone. Look what they're doing. This is >> document. >> THIS IS MY WIFE. >> SHE'S HAVING a ripped baby OUT OF HER HAND. >> HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE. >> Back up. >> Massachusetts. THIS IS BACK. STOP YELLING AT HER. >> STOP YELLING AT HER BECAUSE YOU FEEL INSECURE. >> All right. Did you catch all that? Hello. >> Yeah. What about it? That is a man and his wife in Massachusetts in their car with a little baby. ICE agents are reaching into the car, ripping the baby out of the mother's arms, and the husband starts to have a seizure while it's happening. Is this in your mind what ICE should be doing, Mom? >> What do you mean? What ICE should be doing? >> What's the reason they did it? >> Yeah. Why? >> You left that out. Okay. What' the [ __ ] guy do that's illegal? >> You do understand ICE is now detaining American citizens. Did you see the the video this week of ICE? They're driving in their car down the street. They ram into a civilian's car. They then stop their car, get out and drag this civilian out of her car, saying that she rammed them. That civilian was a US citizen who they let go like six hours later with no charges. But they accosted her, assaulted her, dragged her out of her [ __ ] car and kidnapped her. US citizen. It doesn't matter what people are doing, if they've done crimes or not. Most of them have >> the big the big blue wave started all this. Now I >> The big blue wave start the big blue wave happened this week. How did that start any of this? >> Well, it's because that's what everybody's been talking about for a month, not one week. Dad, your arguments on this show have turned more and more to gibberish. They make no sense whatsoever. >> No gibber. I'm not The one who's full of gibberish is you. You keep >> okay >> quoting [ __ ] that nobody watches >> and that's gibberish in your mind. >> Yeah. >> What you just put on there, >> what you just put on the screen >> tells one of the entire story. >> Okay. What I >> So to me to me you cut and pasting the stuff you want everybody to see is total [ __ ] gibberish. >> I do agree with a little bit what he just said because there was another story where you showed me how they went into a daycare and pulled out the lady. Okay. Well, that story was you only showed part of that. The real clip showed she was in a car with uh they were both illegal. and the man ICE was after him. They abandoned the car. They ran into that daycare to hide, more or less, and they pulled him out from there. They were both illegal. >> That woman was a teacher at that daycare. >> No, they didn't say that. That's not the one. And I guess that we both agreed on. >> Well, there you go. >> But here's what I'm saying. Here's what I want to say about that. >> You tell me I'm talking gibberish. You put up more [ __ ] communist [ __ ] than anybody I've ever seen. >> I don't agree. >> I do. >> Okay. Okay. >> You're a communist. Admit it. >> I'm not. >> Yeah, you are. I don't know why you're on this weird communist thing. I'm telling you, Trump just pardoned a [ __ ] Chinese spy. How am I the communist? >> You're either a Republican American or you're a [ __ ] communist. >> Okay. So, what would you say someone is? You by definition are a communist. >> Listen to what I'm asking you. What would you say to somebody who pardoned a Chinese spy? >> That's not >> communist. >> Well, I I got to know all the details which you don't give me. >> Okay. Well, but I give them to you and then you just say they're not real. >> I'm going to watch another one of your damn >> I'm going to read it to you paste videos. >> Okay. Here's the deal, Chad. with these >> cut videos >> with these ice videos you are showing us and you're showing me >> I have you seen any takedowns in LA? Has Haley seen any >> because I [ __ ] go from here to the Beverly Center to work out and to Whole Foods to buy my groceries. I'm not in any areas where this is happening. >> I would love two or three of these videos come out every day. >> You're letting communism grow up right around your neck. >> Okay. What? Mom, >> I I would really love for you and Haley to video something. You know, Haley said if she ever sees it, she would go help them and all that. >> We're not in the areas where this is happening, but these videos are coming out every there's two three of these [ __ ] videos every day of them tackling somebody, yanking somebody out of a car. The video I just showed you, they're literally ripping a baby out of the arms of a mother. >> I told you earlier, I don't care God in the comments. >> I don't agree with that. I do not agree with that. If that is the stuff that is happening. >> Dear God, you got to do some rushing. >> Here's the information for you, Dad. >> On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump pardoned a man convicted of working as an agent for the Chinese government to intimidate a New Jersey family. Michael, >> did you already tell me this? >> He's reading it. >> I'm reading you the stats per your request. >> Source. >> You asked for the details of the story. I'm now giving them to you per your [ __ ] request. So, shut up and listen. Michael McMahon, a former New York police officer, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in April after being convicted in 2023 for acting as an unregistered agent of China, interstate stalking, and conspiracy. >> You can't demand the information and then talk over me while I'm giving it to you. >> Well, it's coming from the same source. It always comes from >> the internet. >> Yeah, your internet >> after you doctor it up. >> It's not right. I I can't doctor the internet. You understand how the internet works? What do you think the internet is, Dad? >> It's not a matter of doctoring the internet. It's a matter of doc doctoring what you get off the internet and put on this show. >> I just Googled Trump pardons Chinese spy. There's 200 [ __ ] articles about it. >> I have zero interest in that. >> Okay. So, so, so here's what you just did in your argument against this. You said, "Well, you don't have any of the >> No, you're now you're doing it again. You're trying to dismiss what I'm gonna say before I even say it." >> Dismissible. >> Have a [ __ ] conversation with me. >> Can you do that? Are you capable? >> There. There's no point. You're a communist up to your eyeballs. >> You can't communicate with a communist. >> I don't think you can communicate with a human being at this point. Oh, I got a lot of people who think like I do. >> Okay. Who? >> Tons of them. >> Give me a name. >> There's probably eight. >> There's probably 80 million of them. >> I thought I was going to say eight. >> Yeah, maybe you got eight. I think that's more accurate. I mean, >> I can keep reading this, but you're not gonna >> just move on. This is >> We're gonna move on. >> Point. >> This is unbelievable. I don't like when we first started this podcast, Dad, you were capable of having >> No, I want you to listen and then respond back. I don't want you to I don't want >> Look at him. >> I'm looking at him. >> Give him the eye roll. >> I want to ask you like when we first started this podcast, you were capable of having conversations. Now you're you're not. >> You weren't a You weren't already a totally indoctrinated communist. Now you are. And I would like to have conversations with people who are my dead enemy. >> Go. >> I'm your dead enemy. >> Be nice. >> You're a communist. You are. >> Please stay and please be nice. >> I am not a communist. And I don't know why you think that. >> Oh my god. I'm in the middle. >> Tell him he's a communist and then I'll stay. >> I think Oh my god. >> What are you talking about? Why do you think I'm a communist? >> I'm starting to have >> Because you are. >> I think I'm starting to have a seizure. >> Okay. because you are is not any kind of a conversation. You're not offering me any details. Now, how did you arrive at this conclusion that your son is a dead to you communist? >> Because of what you say you believe, >> which is what? Freedom for everybody. Equality for everybody. >> Equality for everybody. >> Yeah. >> 100% communist. >> That's in the Constitution. >> No, it's not. >> All men are created equal. >> It's Yes. in a republic. [snorts] >> Okay. >> Not in a communist country. >> I don't think he'll let me. >> That's where you miss it. >> Okay. >> I think there's some pieces missing up there. Um, all right. >> I have a topic. We're gonna >> No, I have some, too. We have a question. Let's Let's start the show. I'm so sorry, everyone. Here's My dad has got me spun up in [ __ ] circles. He's turning my brain to the Swiss cheese that's in his head. All right, let's Here's our first question. And if you have a question you want to send us, please record it in a 1 minute or shorter video format. Send it to the necessary conversation [email protected]. [laughter] I remember one time you guys came to visit me in LA. This is many years ago when I lived in that apartment that had kind of the whole glass windows on one side and you you just were like non-stop as soon as you got off the plane. It was just firing a million questions at me and dad was the the main person doing it and it just put me in this state of like delirium within 30 minutes of you guys getting off the plane. I'm now in that state. >> You're right. >> He's done it to me again. [laughter] >> Let me take over. You just sat there for a minute. >> No, I have to play this question because I want the answer from you guys. Here we go. >> Okay. >> Hi everyone. Mary Kate here from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Big fan of the podcast. Fellow lefty. Uh, my question is for Mary Lou. I just got done watching the episode with you and Chad that releases on Wednesdays. And you mentioned that come January, New York City is going to fall. And there's something specific you mentioned that stood out to me. You said you don't think Zoron likes gay or trans people, and it's going to be sad for anyone who's different. And in all my years listening to the podcast, I have never heard you defend gay and trans people. So, I just wanted to know why now and uh your thought process behind that. So, thank you and I look forward to many more necessary conversations. >> All right, Mom. So, you did say that on our podcast. You said >> offended gay or trans. I do think >> what? Hey, what you and dad constantly are attacking the trans community on this show almost every episode. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Aren't you talking to your mother? Don't be throwing my opinion in there. >> You also don't like trans people. You've said that a million times on this podcast. Both of you have. >> I don't. >> It's my question. Hello, YouTube. >> I don't. >> It's my question, >> Mom. >> A boy should not become a girl and a girl should not become a boy. So, if that's what she thinks and what I think, >> they're totally mentally ill. >> Is it's my question. Okay. >> Is trans. Yeah. I don't agree with that. But I do feel sad for them because that mayor hates those people. I believe >> just like you do. >> I don't hate them. >> But I don't I don't like I don't align or agree with that. I don't hate those people. >> Okay. >> You just think they should have no rights. >> I have a cousin that is >> I'm not talking about gay. I'm talking about trans people. You don't think they should have the same basic human rights that other people do. You have expressly stated that on this show. >> I didn't I've never said that. I don't align with them. I think boys should be boys, girls should be girls. >> You don't believe they should have access to health care. You've said that multiple times on this show. >> Not in regard to when they're young children that they don't understand what is even going on. don't think trans people deserve health care like other people do. >> Discriminator. >> You just said it right now. >> No, she didn't. >> I'm talking about a child. I'm talking >> I'm talking about children that don't understand it, that don't know what's going on >> and their mom tries to change them at three and four years old. That's what I'm talking about. >> Okay. >> All right. >> What was the rest of her question? And it re it she was surprised that I even >> You brought up when we were talking about Mum Donnie winning, you brought up the notion that he hates trans people and gay people and you feel bad for >> the whole city is that whole city is in trouble. >> He's a Muslim. He hates those people. >> The question was, >> yes. >> Yeah. Why now are you trying to use protecting trans people as part of your argument against Mumani when for the three and a half years we've been doing this podcast all you've done is attack the trans community. >> I I'm sorry if that's what you >> She's not trying to defend and upstate what she said before. What she's trying to tell you in your infinite wisdom is that that guy is going to make it impossible for them to live in his city. >> I am sorry if I've ever come across that way to trans or gay people. I It's fine. It's their lifestyle. I don't agree with it. I don't agree, you know, with trans the way that they go from boy to boy, boy to girl, girl to boy. uh if they're young children, they don't understand that >> and they're they're transitioning at early ages like that because the parents I swear I think the parents at that >> time when the kids are that little they think it's a it's a fad. It's cool. All the Hollywood there's a lot of Hollywood actors and actresses that think I really believe they think that's cool to transition their kids young and say, "Oh, look at my kid." There's a lot of them in Hollywood that way. I don't like that. >> And now you got a Muslim mayor who hates those people. >> That is true. That's what I feel. >> Whether you like it or not, you can throw all the blue paint on it you want. He hates those people. He's going to make it miserable for them. They're either going to have to move or just disappear. >> My question. Thank you. Go ahead, Jen. >> Well, thank you for your question. If anybody else has a question for us, please send it to the necessary conversationpodgmail.com. I think we're going to start doing an extra episode maybe on a subscription basis of trying to answer everybody's questions because I get a million of them and I thank everybody who sends me the 10page long emails. I don't read them. Thank you for sending them. I do not read them. I will never have time to read them. I will never read them. So, if you're thinking about sending me [laughter] one, just know as soon as I open it and see the wall of text, I move on. All right. >> I get I get questions, Chad. I get short ones. I get long ones. I have so many in there. I can't even answer them anymore. And people reaching out to me now. A lot of trans people. I can't answer them. I cannot I have way too many anymore. >> I understand. >> I get stuff like, "Why does your family always wear black clothes? Why does Chad only have half a mustache?" [laughter] >> I get the half a mustache one a lot, >> but we'll talk about that later. >> Okay, let's move on to our first topic. The blue wave. In a unanimous rebuke of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, Democrats swept every high-profile election that took place earlier this week, and they won by huge margins. In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger won the governorship by 14 to 15 percentage points. Also in Virginia, Democrats swept the other two statewide offices, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General, and also expanded their majority in the House of Delegates. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikey Cheryl won the governorship by 13 points. In New York City, Zoran Mandani beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Silawa Silow uh with over 1.03 million votes. It was more >> Sila. It was more than the other two candidates combined. >> Hello. It was more than the other two candidates combined. In California, 10 million people, myself included, showed up to vote on Prop 50 to let Gavin Newsome redraw voting districts to give California five more Democratic congressional members. The yes vote was 6.42 million versus 3.6 million for no. Almost double the vote uh for yes. >> I know. >> Trump blamed the staggering Republican losses on the fact that he was not on the ballot and on the ongoing government shutdown. Dad, do you view these Democratic wins as any indication that the country doesn't like how Trump is running things? >> No. >> Why not? >> Because what happened is the Republicans didn't go in there and vote. >> Yeah, that's right. >> It's all Democrat. >> That's how that's how an election works. You see? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's how an election works. This is the start of a big huge red wave >> because now that these people are in charge, >> it's only going to take a few months for everybody who voted for him to figure out they made a big [ __ ] mistake. >> I think it'll shatter the Democratic party once they start seeing what's going to happen in New York. It's going to shatter the Democratic party. But there was something I did see. I don't know if it was AI. I've seen it more than once. I've seen it by different people talking and it sure didn't look like AI. This guy was bragging he voted six times for him >> and they were saying, "How did you do that?" He said they didn't ask for voter ID. >> So, you're claiming the elections are rigged. >> Yes. >> I'm not claiming they are, but I I did see some people stating that. I'm not claiming it was. He won. It's fine. >> There are 80 million Republicans who didn't cast a single vote. >> Okay. Well, these were statewide elections, so not >> So, all the blue all the blue bastards in those states went to the election. >> I thought the percentage of his win came from um not illegals, but from uh foreign citizens or >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Why do why do you think that? >> I read that somewhere as a statistic. >> Okay. >> Let me ask you this, Dad. Obviously, the Democrats destroyed the Republicans in these elections. What do you think the Republicans >> in the mayor race >> in in those cities? >> Yeah. Can I get a question out to >> Washington DC? New York City. Yeah. >> Can I Can I ask you something or No, >> you you didn't really ask the question yet. >> That's right. I didn't ask the question yet. And then he started That's correct. Yeah. >> Okay. The question is, these Republicans got demolished. What can the Republican party do or what should they do to bring voters back out to swing momentum in their favor? >> They don't have to do anything. >> They're going to do >> they're going to be at the polls on the midterm elections. You watch and see. and everything's going to flip back red because what we're fighting for now is we're either going to be a democratic, not a democratic, but we're either going to be a republic >> Mhm. >> and live the life we all love or we're going to turn communist >> and and you're going to live like some China over in China. >> Okay. I don't think >> and they don't like it. I I >> that's why they're about China's about to have their own major revolution where people are going to fight the government. >> Okay, let's move on to our next topic. >> And that is a fact, Jack. >> Sleepy dawn. This week, Trump showed America and the world that he's more like Joe Biden than he cares to admit when he fell asleep multiple times during the press conference. >> He works 24 hours a day for three or four days and he needs a nap. I'll start again. >> Joe Biden didn't even show up. >> All right, >> I'll start again. This week, Trump showed America and the world that he's more like Joe Biden than he cares to admit when he fell asleep multiple times during a press conference in the Oval Office about reducing the price of weight loss drugs. Images of the sleepy little guy went viral as he was observed on multiple video feeds for nearly 20 minutes, struggling to keep his eyes open, closing his eyes, and slouching while Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. were speaking. This is just the most recent in a growing number of events that Trump can't seem to stay awake for, including a visit to Saudi Arabia, where he was filmed fighting off sleep during a public ceremony with Saudi officials in Riad. In April 2024, at his own criminal trial, where he was found guilty of 34 felonies, he was caught on camera nodding off multiple times. And at the 2024 Republican National Convention, an image circulated of Trump with his eyes closed, seemingly fully asleep, although he maintained he was praying. Now, I have a clip of this um because I know you guys would be like, "That's [ __ ] He wouldn't asleep." I want you to watch this video so that we're all on the same page. >> We don't care. We don't care. Are suffering from obesity >> and are locked into that system. President Trump has also instructed us to >> address and and the root causes of chronic disease. In the meantime, there's nothing more important that we can do than lower this price for their GLP drugs. >> This happened or are on our side of the negotiating team >> who walked away from a billion dollar business >> who made this happen. They saw that this could be a win-win situation, [laughter] >> that this was not a zero sum game, a savings. And that's because >> the price of diabetes prescriptions is also going to drop. do not have [laughter] diabetes. >> People who have a BMI of 27 and above or pre-diabetic or have hard be able to get this drug and it is going to good reason against it. Now, MA is critical. America will have to get fit in order to rightsize the health care system and sleep and dealing with issues related to that. And I want to say it as clear as I can. reducing cost of the number one most expensive medicine category in our country. It is as Baja as it gets. Today is the fourth MFM. President Trump can't [laughter] manage it. >> President Secretary Kennedy mentioned New York City. Actually, the number one zip code is the Upper East Side, which is where you have property >> and folks who know and we are democratizing >> democratizing access to these medications and dealing with a moral imperative. But I don't measure it in pounds. I measure it in save lives. People can sleep again laying down when they go to bed. Folks who whose knees don't hurt. People who don't have heart attacks, renal failure, dementia, all the things we know are associated with obesity and much more. That God meant for each of us to have purpose and joy and to live fully. And to do that, [laughter] we must be good stewards of our body. >> And the president has been fighting to provide another tool to do just this. And it's my pleasure to get to Aline. >> He's tired. >> No [ __ ] He has worked so hard for our country every single day. I've read stories where his staffers can't keep up with his energy or not energy but everything he does every day. Every day in and out, in and out. >> Biden lays on his back fully spread on the beach. >> Okay. >> But when he said something about sleep, dad said something like he's demonstrating the sleep. >> It's sad. He's tired. You can see it. He is tired. >> Yeah, he's a little sleepy guy just like Joe Biden. >> But no, >> he's like us. He's >> Joe Biden. Joe Biden was stumbling around and letting all the people around him run everything. Trump is not. Trump is running our country. >> I probably take two or three naps a day. And there's nothing wrong with my brain. [laughter] >> Uh I don't know about that, dude. >> Okay, >> so Dad, you said that Trump is busy. He's working 24 hours a day. Trump has been golfing 72 out of the 294 days since returning to office. That is 24.5% of the time. >> It's where he makes his deals >> with his granddaughter. >> He makes his deals. >> Okay. So, do you understand how I'm showing you clear evidence that Trump is falling asleep? >> One of your biggest complaints against Joe Biden was that he couldn't stay awake. >> Here we are. Oh, our biggest complaint was he >> couldn't he couldn't walk or talk. Had nothing to do with sleep. I never once said Joe Biden need is sleeping somewhere. >> Yeah, we never talked about Joe. Joe Biden stumbled and fell >> probably 35 times. Couldn't ride a [ __ ] bicycle. Lays on his back at the beach getting a suntan and and sleeping. So, >> so you just did say sleeping right now. You just said it >> and use the auto pin. >> I'm saying it because you act like he never fell asleep. [ __ ] He does. He did it every day. >> No. No. You're absolutely wrong. Haley and I No. Shut up for a second, Dad. Shut up and let me MAKE THIS POINT. SHUT UP AND LET ME MAKE THIS POINT. >> Wipe his ass, too. >> Okay. >> You sit here and you're like, you act like Joe Biden would never sleep. Haley and I hated him. We agreed with you that he was mentally unfit to be president and that he was falling asleep. We saw those things. We acknowledged them. What? You checking out the spiders over there, Dad? >> Yeah. What do you look at Chad? >> Why can you not engage in this conversation? >> Because it's stupid. You ain't going to give in and neither am I. But to not to not even give me the [ __ ] respect to look at me when I'm talking to you and you steamroll everybody >> banging my [ __ ] head on the wall. >> But why can't you accept that we are your family and at least treat us with respect? >> Because you're a communist. >> Oh god. Here we go. >> Okay. Um >> I will give a communist zero respect. >> All right. >> That's what you got because I think you're a communist. All right, let's move on to our next question or our next topic. Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud this week. Trump adviser Steve Bannon spoke at an event put on by the Conservative Partnership Institute where he told a room full of Republicans that if they weren't successful in taking over government institutions, many Republicans, including himself, would be going to jail. I'm going to play you this clip and then we're going to discuss it. Here we go. And I will tell you right now, as God is my witness, if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included, they're not going to stop. They are getting more and more and more radical. And we have to counter that. And what do we have to counter it with? We have to counter it with more action, more intense action, more urgency. We're burning daylight. If you look across every aspect of this, we have to codify what President Trump has done by executive order, right? We ha we have to codify it. And people say, "Well, they're just going to be messing bills pass." We got to we've got to put aside these structural barriers and get on with it. President Trump today gave to the Senate when they came over for breakfast. Even Lindsey Graham, some of the guys you liked in some of these institutions, I understand this is a very tough decision to make. And you're going to see some people in the conservative movement that not in a million years because I talked to them today quite frankly. I had Holly on the show this morning, Josh Holly, and he's talking about it and I'm trying to play the institutional. Well, well, they called me up this afternoon and said, "Let's go through the 10 reasons we need to do it." And these are heavy hitters on what I would call the constitutional the limited government constitutionalist in our movement. and they're about to come out over the next couple days and make this argument because they said look we have to understand that if we don't take this to the maximum a maximalist strategy now with a sense of urgency and in doing this seize the institutions if we don't do that now we're going to lose this chance forever because you're never going to have another Trump right you're just not going to have it >> all right you understood what he was talking about there >> yeah I think he's full of [ __ ] I think He should still be in prison. >> What? >> He's one of Trump's adviserss. >> No, he was. >> Uhhuh. >> Uh I think he still needs to be in prison for remember the wall and he embezzled money and all that. I think >> he's still one of the top Republican strategists who's helping. He was one of the architects of Project 2025. >> He was I think what he's doing >> it was written in the past. So it's >> things move on. Things move on. I think he's trying to just gain people to watch his podcast. I truly do. >> Okay. >> I think um yeah, he's a wannabe. I don't like him. He embezzled money a long time ago. He still should be in prison. >> Uh he's trying to gain podcasting viewers. >> And you know what? I'd like to know who was in that room with him. That's hilarious. I would love to know who was in that room. >> It was a big Republican event. Why do you think he would go to jail? And why do you think these other people, whoever they are that he's talking about, would go to jail? >> Because the country will be run by communists. >> Okay. >> And that's what communists do. They put their enemies in jail. >> Trump is doing that now. He's attempting to. >> No, he's not. >> Yeah, he is. He's indicted James Comey, James. >> No, she's not. >> Nancy Pelosi in jail? >> No. >> Is Stillwall in jail? >> No. Obama? No. >> Obama? They're not in jail yet, but he's trying to indict them. He has brought an indictment against James Comey, a political enemy. Leticia James, a political enemy, >> so he's not a communist. >> Again, I think he's a has been want to be. He should have been still be in jail. He embezzled money a big time ago. >> I I just want to focus in on what dad is doing here. >> Okay. >> So, you say [laughter] the Democrats are going to take control and then use their communist powers to put their political enemies in prison. >> That's not what I'm saying. Okay. >> I'm saying if the Democrats get better. >> Yes, I get it. Jesus Christ. >> They're not going to win. Okay. Party will win. >> All right. >> That's what I'm saying. >> All right. >> Okay. >> You call me better start fearing for >> Let's do a simmer down. Let's do a simmer down. >> Yes, please. >> I want to ask >> Please, >> I'll ask dad first. What is a time that somebody helped you that you'll never forget? I honestly thought about this for a solid hour. >> Never. [laughter] >> You've never been helped in your life? >> No. >> Okay. I >> Maybe within the past couple of years, you haven't had help from that woman sitting to your left. >> Yeah. >> I was going to say hello. >> But she does it every day. How am I going to forget it? >> What? >> What? Somebody help me and I'll never forget. >> So, you're twisting this into some weird semantic argument. >> He's saying I help him every day. So, >> whatever. [ __ ] it. >> Okay. Next. Go on. >> I can think of two biggies. Like, there was a time in our lives when we desperately needed a job and we didn't have one. >> I did. I was a mother at that time raising babies. We desperately needed a job. And out of the blue, one of my friends from high school said, "Hey, try this guy." He was a um college professor of mine, Midway Drilling, Jack Joiner. She said, "Try him." And Bob gave him a call. We were employed within a day. I will never forget that my friend reached out and said, "Hey, call this guy." And that was one of the best jobs your dad ever had, learning about oil and gas back in Great Ben, Kansas, when we needed the money. >> And then my second one just recently, currently within the last three months, I desperately needed another place for shiny Heiny. >> Mhm. >> Because the one barn we were at was just atrocious. And I mean, I would cry every day. I'd pray to God for help. and someone uh that did not take in borders gave me a shot and said, "Come on out. I've been in your same situation. Come out to our barn." Private barn. It's beautiful. I love them. I love the family. I will never forget them saying, "Come on out. You're here." >> Nice. >> And Shiny Heiny is there. >> All right. Fantastic. Let's move on to Oh, [ __ ] I forgot. Um, mine is probably >> bobbled today. >> Well, I can't. Dad's whole thing is just like >> he's just here to like [ __ ] talk. He doesn't answer any questions. >> I know. >> He's throwing out this weird communist thing which is like I don't even think he believes it or even understands what he's saying. At any rate, um, mine is probably one of my best friends of all time is this guy named Joel. You know of Joel? We know for my I he's helped me in a lot of things throughout my life like little creative projects and whatever and I wanted to do something for my 40th birthday that was absolutely [ __ ] insane. I wrote this 30page script and it was to be shot in 31 minute increments. Each increment being a drone footage of a mall around Los Angeles with me and him standing in front of the mall. The drone would start in front of our faces. We would start delivering the dialogue and then the drone would fly into the sky and you'd get this big aerial shot of the thing. I made music for it and all this was to be done for my 40th birthday where I was going to force my friends to sit and watch a screening of this thing. And he helped me make that just like out of the kindness of his heart. Every day for six or seven days, I think we did that shoot. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. driving around to different malls around Southern California shooting this [ __ ] He helped me edit it, put the music in it, all that [ __ ] I'll never forget it. It uh it was a fun bizarre time and just like >> something that was done out of pure friendship. Yeah. >> Okay. I have You didn't let me do this earlier. That's nice. I do know Joel. >> And he still lives out there with you. >> Uh yeah, he's moved out of LA, but he's in the in this area. He's like an hour and a half outside of LA. >> Is he married? >> No. >> No. Okay. I wanted to say this early on, but y'all wouldn't give me time. socialist. If you have two cows, if you have two cows, the government takes one and gives one to your neighbor. That is socialism. >> Okay, >> liberal. This is good. It's It'll go quick. You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel so bad. So, you vote people into office that tax your cows, forcing you to sell one. Pay the taxes. The people you voted in use your tax money to buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. So now they have two cows. Communism. They take both cows and they give you a half a cup of milk. Conservative. Listen to this one. Wake up, Chad. >> They [ __ ] the cow. >> You have two cows. You sell one. You buy a bull. And now you build a herd for yourself. That's a conservative. >> Okay, >> that's my definition and I saw that online. >> All right, thanks. All right, let's move on to our fourth topic. SNAP nightmare. On October 31st, two federal judges ruled that the Trump administration cannot suspend SNAP benefits despite the federal government shutdown, ordering the administration to use contingency funds to at least partially cover benefits for the 42 million Americans who rely on the program. Then on November 6th, the Rhode Island federal judge ordered Trump to fully fund November SNAP benefits by Friday, November 7th, which uh we're recording this on Sunday, November 9th. Just this just happened. Trump appealed to the United States Supreme Court seeking [clears throat] to block or delay the payments demanded by the lower court. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson sided with Trump temporarily, pausing the requirement to pay full benefits while the lower appellet court makes a decision on the matter. Dad, why do you think Trump is fighting so hard to keep people from having food? >> Well, he's fighting to keep some people from having food. >> I think 42 million Americans and and they won't give him his way. He wants to fund it for people who genuinely need it in the military. >> And he's not going to get to do that because they want to give it back to everybody. Like there's two or three clips that we have seen where some old bag who's weighs 250 lbs >> once her once her snap benefits because she has she's been on them for 14 years and never had a job. >> Okay. So those clips you're talking about a lot of them are AI generated. There was a big controversy a big controversy came out. >> Those are all 100% genuine. There was a big controversy that came out this past week. Dad, you're just like staring off. You You do this every [ __ ] time. You're like, "Ours genuine." Then I'll start speaking. Hang on a minute. Hang on. Then I'll start speaking and you just look off into the distance immediately, ignoring anything I'm trying to say. >> You can understand how that makes it difficult to have a conversation with you when you don't listen to what the other person's saying. again. >> It coming right back at you. >> What do you mean? I'm present in this whole thing. I put this show together every week. >> Yeah, but I have to go through the same rigomearo every damn week >> to counteract your communism. >> Oh, God. All right. So, >> mom's remember mom's definitions. >> You're going to buy two cows and you're going to own none of them. Okay. >> You'll own a half a cup of milk if they give it to you. Please don't call him a communist again. I We know you feel that way. >> Well, then he can quit acting like one. >> Okay. Quit acting. >> What have I done on this podcast to act like a communist? >> What you're doing right now? >> Talking. >> Yeah. Trying to talk over me. [laughter] >> Good luck. [laughter] >> Okay. Okay, mom. >> Um, that's >> Wait, my question my question is now to you, Mom. Why is Trump fighting so hard to maintain uh these families starving basically? [snorts] >> No, he is fighting to have a clean vote on the CR. He wants a clean vote that'll give him if if Democrat >> None of this has anything to that. Wait a second, Mom. Two courts said you have to pay the SNAP benefits. He has appealed it both times. Why not just do what the courts say and pay the benefits? >> Because he wants those Democrats to come and vote so that we can get this government back running. He's using aside from back going >> now. Already in Oregon, I read this morning early Oregon has SNAP back in place, but it is through the state. So, they're using some kind of state funds they found to get it going. >> I think the [snorts] Democrats have to open this country back up. This is getting ridiculous. Just vote for a clean CR and then we will have one year to figure out the health care. But they won't do that, Chad. >> Correct. >> And Republicans are not going to go back are not going to vote and say, "Okay, we're going to give you whatever billion you want." >> Mike Johnson has said he won't negotiate. This is not the Democrat's fault. >> It's ruining Yes, it is the Democrat's fault. It's ruining our country. It's ruining our country. >> I agree. Well, let's let's get to that. One of my questions is, have you seen the videos of people in line at food banks? >> Yes, I have seen. >> And the lines are stretching around buildings. >> I see. You know what too? I see churches here now trying to stock up the pantries the best they can. >> And a long time ago, like like in the 70s and 80s when we were growing up. >> Um, there were immigrants coming in into our country from Vietnam and our churches helped support them. We need more churches. We need more people to support churches and go back to churches and give that way so that when our country gets in need. We can give to the people that need it. That's just my opinion. >> And also I got that from a sweet pin pal I have. Thank you clouds. >> All right. So you have seen the lines of people waiting to get food. Some of them are American military families in >> terrible. So my question is this. Has America been made great again? Mom, >> it was until the Democrats wouldn't open our government. >> Okay, Dad. Has America been made great again? >> It's on its way. >> All right, you guys are blaming the Democrats. Yet, the Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the Congress. They control everything. >> You cannot be that stupid. I say this every time. I usually don't call you stupid, okay? But no, because you're brilliant. You're brilliant. >> Thank you. Okay. >> But we need those Democratic votes to open our government back. >> Then get them. >> They're not budging. They won't do it. >> That's right. So that means the Republicans >> feel how many times clean already. And now they're saying, "Oops, nope. We're not going to do it." >> So that means Trump and the Republicans are not good at their job. If they can't negotiate across the aisle to get legislation passed or to reopen the government, it means they are bad at that. No, it means they are smart and they're not going to give our hard-earned government money to illegals and to the health care that's not good. >> Trump even said today, let's give let's give some of that money to the people so that they can get good health care. >> Okay, let's move on to our fifth and final topic. Grounded. While we are now in the 38th day of the longest government shutdown in American history, which is starting to have dramatic negative impact on air travel, we got some new this week. The FAA mandated reductions in airline schedules at around 40 of the nation's busiest airports due to staffing shortages among air traffic controllers who are no longer being paid due to the shutdown. On the first day of the directive Friday of this past week, airlines canceled more than 800 flights nationwide. At the same time, more than 2,300 other flights have been delayed. The reductions are being phased in. Roughly 4% of flights cut initially with plans to escalate to 10% reduction by around November 14th and in a worst case up to 20% if the shutdown drags on in addition to potentially crippling US citizens ability to travel for the holidays. The airlines are reporting financial losses that are increasing by the day and could result in a need for government bailout if these conditions continue. Dad, we can't fly anymore. It's all falling apart. Is this making America great again? >> Yes, I don't fly anyway. >> Oh my god. >> You don't walk. You don't really move. >> That's right. [laughter] >> Um that your your main thing is going to be once he starts hitting the chair companies, that's when you'll feel it, right? >> The rocker companies. Yeah. Um Mom, do you think this is making >> I'm not laughing at that one. >> No, of course he's not. I know it hurt his little feelings. Mom, what about you? Do you Do you think this >> He's going to sleep. He's trumping on us. His eyes are closing. [laughter] >> He's trumping. [gasps] >> Do you think this is making America great again? >> No. Our country has to open back up real quick or our daughter is not going to make it home. She will be stranded in >> We've got food lines. We've got flights are getting cancelled left and right. >> Yes. We've got the prices for all groceries are going up. I know this Thanksgiving dinner thing came. Huh? >> Our our government has never been shut down this long ever. This is ridiculous. >> And it's happening under >> You know what? I saw Schumer this morning. I forget what program he was on. It was one of the bigger ones. >> He was smiling saying, "Yes, the government is still shut down. They want it to be in turmoil. The Democrats want this to happen to us." >> Fine, I'll go with that. Fine. They want it to happen to us. Great. Trump is in control. The Republicans control every body of government right now. These Democrats can throw a wrench in it, but it's not their fault. Trump himself, I played a clip on this very show maybe a month or two ago of Trump back when he was first running saying government shutdown is the fault of the president. He himself said that. >> Then he needs to pay somebody off to get it running. He needs to pay Democrats off. those six votes we need, give them some money, whatever, so they can vote to open up this our government. >> You're saying Trump should bribe the Democrats to vote his way? >> Yes. >> You you understand that's a crime? >> Well, all all politicians commit crimes, right? >> Well, our government is hurting a lot of people. Way too many people now. It's ridiculous. >> But this is what I'm saying. This is all happening under Trump. It's it is his responsibility to make sure the government functions. >> It's clearly not functioning. We are in the longest government shutdown in the history of this country now, >> right? >> And you're starting to see very real repercussions because of it. None of these federal workers are getting paid. >> It's a really sad >> hang on. You you keep saying the you keep deflecting to like Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. Take into account what objectively is happening under this president who promised prices were going to go down. America's going to be great again. Prices are now skyrocketing on everything for everyone. Nothing is working in the country. We're having airlines are cancelling flights. >> The last two times. >> Okay. >> What? >> Your mother paid less for the same groceries the last two times at the store. >> I was frugal. I've got to be frugal now. >> Thank you. But you can agree his poll numbers are in the toilet. They're the worst of any American president in the history of America. We're not having flights anymore, >> right? >> Federal workers aren't getting paid. People are in line getting food stamps. Babies are getting ripped out of people's arms. >> One vote, the Democrats could vote it in and we'd be going again. And it will happen. It has to happen. It will. >> I keep saying that. I hang on. You're not letting me get to the point. >> Okay. >> The point is Trump said, "Elect me. All this [ __ ] will be good." We elected him. We're not even a year into this term and [ __ ] is very bad under >> He didn't realize the Democrats are this evil. He really didn't. >> He's stupid. >> I don't think he's stupid, Chad. >> He made a promise when he ran that he was going to return America to its former glory and everything was going to be great. We're going to be tired of winning, blah blah blah. >> None of that's happening. He and his billionaire cronies have all enriched themselves. They've all like doubled their [ __ ] net worth. I'm sure you saw Elon Musk just got a trillion dollar deal with Tesla. >> Yeah. >> But his time's up. >> Yeah. He still has three more years. This will turn around. We'll get our government back open. It'll get going again. >> But you're not acknowledging that we are in a very bad place as a country. >> We are in a very bad place. We're in an evil place. I think this is all evil. >> Right. And you acknowledge that Trump is the one controlling this. >> Yes. And I never should have said he needed to bribe the people for the votes. That's not right. Yes, we should. >> It's not right. But I want it open some way. >> But our country is in this catastrophic moment right now because of Trump. >> No. Because of those Democrats that won't vote to reopen, then we would have a year to discuss how to do this healthcare. They are so >> No, we wouldn't though. The Republicans lie about that all the time. They'll say, "We'll negotiate. Just open it up and we'll negotiate in a year." And then they don't. They lie constantly about that. that negotiation that they're saying, "Well, well, we'll have the negotiation in a year. Why not have it now?" >> So, the Democrats would rather just let our country go under than negotiate. >> So, would the Republicans Mike Johnson has said he won't negotiate? You're saying if the Democrats would just vote this way, why can't the Republicans vote the other way? That would also open the government. >> Because we don't want to give all that money to illegals that should not have the healthcare. >> Okay? That's not what's happening. But even if it was great, that's your position. The Democrats feel differently. Oh well. So there it is. >> Why is it the Democrats fault for not voting your way but not the Republicans's fault for voting the other way? Dad, I I just I don't know why you do the podcast anymore. >> I'm wondering myself. [laughter] >> You're just staring into space. You're not listening to anything. All you can do now is call me a communist. >> I hear every [ __ ] word you say. >> Okay. Well, this has been a good one. Thanks for joining us. Dad, I do love you despite how you treat me and uh how you behave on this podcast and the fact that you will give no respect to even the effort that we're putting out here to make this to have these conversations. I do love you. I know that much of >> you don't have a conversation. I just got to eat a boatload of whatever it is you're spewing out. >> As I have always said, >> you don't listen to me. >> What the hell are you talking about? Of course I do. >> No, you don't. You should. >> You've called me a communist, I believe, six times this episode. I hear all the words you say, too. >> Yeah. >> And as I've always said, if you ever want to produce this show, and we can talk about whatever you want to talk about, you are free and welcome to do that literally every week. >> We tried that once on one segment. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> And all you did is run me over. >> Oh, >> you in quotes produced one topic. You had no information. I don't even remember what the topic was. You were just like Trump's good looking [laughter] >> and that was I was like okay do you have any questions for us? You had prepared nothing. >> That is true. >> Hello. >> That is true. >> What's there to prepare? This is just regurgitated stuff. >> Oh god. >> Okay. >> Week in and week out you come up with the same thing. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, Mom, I love you. Thank you for doing this with me. Hopefully you and I can do an episode on Wednesday, okay, where we'll talk about whatever. I don't I don't know what the topic will be, but >> we'll be back for that. Haley, wherever you are, thanks for not being here for this one. It was probably a good one to miss, honestly. [laughter] I hope you have a good trip out there, wherever you are, and get back safely and your your flights don't get delayed. >> I love you, Chad. I love you, Haley. You should have got your ass on a plane today and not tomorrow because you ain't going to make it tomorrow. You're going to be driving 17 hours, girlfriend. Love you. Love you, Chad. Thanks. >> I love everybody as soon as they quit being communist. >> Okay. >> I'm not a communist. I don't know how you've come to this conclusion. >> Would Chad sell everything so that the government takes it over and he gets a half a cup of milk? >> Yeah, I don't think he would. I don't think he would. >> Okay. All right. >> I don't think he would let him. >> Thanks for joining us. We will be back. Me and my mom will be back on Wednesday and uh some of us will be back on Sunday. Look at him. Just look at his [ __ ] face. >> I I don't know. He needs B12 like Trump, I guess. I don't know. >> We're going to try, for what it's worth. Also, I should mention if these flights don't get delayed and everything and we all do wind up being back in Oklahoma in a couple of weeks, we're going to try and shoot a show in your living room. >> Okay. Oh my god. >> You need to make my studio a little better. Yeah. >> All right. >> This isn't our living room. >> This our studio. [laughter] >> I know. But we're going to have to fit four people in and I'm going to have to have three cameras and [ __ ] We'll we'll figure it out. But please join us for that. And I think I'm going to shoot. >> One, two, three. >> Oh, now he's ready to podcast. >> We have six seats already. >> Now he's ready to podcast. >> Oh, sorry. Seven. That would help. >> Well, we'll see how it goes. >> I only need to bring in one more chair. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, thank you everyone for joining us. We will be back midweek and next week. Is that all right? Yeah. Bye.
