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. Today it's me, Chad Coulchin, my sister Haley Pop
Pope, and my mom Mary Lou, uh, fresh off her conversation with Betto Oor on Friday, who you now like after thinking it through there. You know, I know he now you don't like him. No,
I liked him. I do know he is take away everybody's guns. I'm not that. No, he wants to take away AR-15s. He doesn't want to take away everyone's guns.
Okay. Well, if we do I and I do kind of agree with that, but I'm afraid then the bad guys are left with them and then they'll get us.
Okay. I do know he is uh states rights pro-abortion, which I'm states right. He's pro-choice. Yeah. Nobody's pro-abortion. It's pro-choice, but I am pro-life. So, we kind of disagreed there. I know he is for the safety of the schools, which I am.
No. How about this? You're not pro-life. You're anti-choice. You want women to have no choice. No, that's not what I want. Yeah, it is.
If for the life of the mother or the the if the life of the mother is at risk or the baby, what choice is that? That would be
So you're like you could have one choice if it's life or death. I am pro-life. Okay. Do you have? So, there were a few things that, you know, he's on the other side of me, but I really did like him. And I like the part about um social media and the shooter from Yubaldi should have been red flagged because he was all over social media in all different ways that they should have grabbed him way ahead of all that. So, I I did agree with some of the things he said. Yes.
All right. Um any diddies to begin today's program? That was kind of my diddy. I have one. Okay. You didn't put it in our topic of conversation, so I'll just bring it up as a [ __ ] diddy.
Um, Mom, what did you think about Hassan Piker's thirst trap at the uh at the midterm convention? His what? Chad, you know what I'm talking about.
Yes. So they the Republican convention like they blasted this photo of Hassan [ __ ] shirtless in I don't know what he's wear like shorty shorts or something that were kind of rolled up, you know? It's essentially a thirst trap,
right? Yeah. And they blasted this on the big screen, but like for [ __ ] what reason? There we go. What did they say?
I'm I'm pulling the image now. [laughter] And this was at the Republican. Yeah. I thought for sure you had like looked into this.
No, I haven't seen it. So, they threw this up on the jumbotron. Are you ready for this bump? Get ready. I Okay. They put this picture of Hassan [ __ ] on the like [ __ ] giant screen at the Republican National Convention. [laughter]
Okay. Ready? Are you ready? I'm ready, I guess. I don't think you are. Here we go. Oh god. [laughter] God, why would they do
My god, why would they do that at the Republican convention? You tell me. [laughter] Oh my goodness. Okay, enough. Enough. Oh my goodness.
You tell me. I thought for sure you'd seen your boy Hassan [ __ ] in the flesh on Jumbo. [laughter] Why? Okay. I do I don't understand why Republicans would do that. I mean there are many theories going around the internet. One of them links to the fact also that Grinder
Yes. Do you know what Grinder is? She doesn't know what that is. Mom, no. It's a dating app that is used by gay guys uh primarily. And so that app crashed supposedly in the Dallas area because of overuse as the RNC is happening. And there have been anecdotal stories like this on the internet for every Republican National Convention or any big Republican thing that happens in any given city. Grinder is always like overt taxed and crashes and all this [ __ ] So the theory is or at least what's being talked about on the internet is uh people are saying,
you know, there's so many closeted gay guys in the Republican party and that's why Grinder crashes when whenever they converge on a city and that's why they're putting this thirst trap half naked Assad biker literally in the video package of the RNC.
Right. Right. Why else would it be there? Like what was the [ __ ] point of that? I did not see that. I watched part of that convention. I didn't see it all and I sure in the heck didn't see that. But then I saw something on Instagram. I mean I mean if we're going to go there um there was a picture with Mandami. Mandami
Mandani. Mandami that he was gay. Mandana. Okay. Have you heard any of that? No. I don't care if anyone is gay. I don't who cares. I don't give a [ __ ]
But that if you're gay, just tell the truth. It's okay. Mhm. Right. Yeah. Okay. [laughter] Um, well, there you go. I now have it on my screen. I'm like, I actually need to turn.
I just wanted to make sure that mom was aware that mom was aware of Hassan Piker's thirst trap at the RNC. Why would he even have that picture anywhere floating around? Shame. Shame.
What? Why would he even have that picture floating around like that? He just likes to work out. It's like he's showing off his He's showing off his workout. Okay.
He's showing off his workout. He's showing off something else, too. I think in that picture, [laughter] you can't You can't shame people for that.
Yeah, everybody has an Only Fans now. You can't shame him for that. I wish I had one of Chad for a payback, but I don't. I do have one of Haley, but I don't
I have an exact same picture like the song [ __ ] Yes, that's what I was thinking. Chad needs payback for the F Trump. F Trump. F Trump.
I do have a picture of Haley kind of like that, but I don't owe her any payback. She's been okay to me like lately.
I have a picture of you in a bikini in a bikini that my grandmother crocheted. Remember that picture and you were doing the Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Okay. Remember? I got my own. I No, I actually don't. I'll show you later. We're not going to show that on TV or on the spot. Okay.
Uh before we get into the main meat of the episode, see what I've done there. All right. Before we get into the main episode, we do have a question from a listener. If you'd like to send us a question, all you have to do is record it in a one minute or shorter video clip. Send it to the necessary conversation [email protected]. Put in the subject line question or I will not look at it. Thank you very much. Here is our question for this week.
Hey, culture family. Uh, Englishman living in Australia here as far away from my parents' basement as I can possibly be. Uh, love the podcast. As a outsider, um, I think you give great and terrifying insight into the psyche of America outside of the uh, mainstream media lens. So, thank you for your content. And my question to you guys is, what do you think the legacy of Bob and Mary Lou's generation will be? And what do you think will change after they have gone? Thank you very much.
Okay. A kind of interesting question. I don't I don't know. Mom, have you and dad ever talked about this? What do you think the baby boomer's legacy will be? What will your generation be remembered for? Its contributions to American culture, global culture, etc. What do you think will come from it?
That we fought as hard as we could to keep America um patriotic and proud and as strong as we could. That's what I think.
Haley, I unfortunately think they're going to be known for this moment in time. I think it's going to be MAGA, the whole MAGA movement. And
I mean, I think that's what it's going to be. I I do too. I don't know what the outcome of MAGA and Trump and all of this will be. It could literally be the end of America as we know it. Certainly, we've been taken down a notch. We are not the world's number one superpower anymore. None of our allies want to work with us. We're in trade wars with everybody. We're in a literal war with Iran that could escalate into World War II. [snorts] Um all of the different environmental roll backs that he's done as we are facing what is clearly global warming destroying [ __ ] at a massive
scale now. The UN even came out and said, "We're beyond the tipping point. All that is because of Trump." Um, I think that is what the baby boomers will be remembered for is being kind of uh too naive to understand what social media is and how it's being used to brainwash and manipulate you. Mhm.
the addiction to cable news like Fox News, Newsmax and ultimately that you in via via uh voting handed over America to Donald Trump, corporate billionaires. And um again, is it the end of America? I don't know. But it's the closest we've ever been to the brink. And I do believe it's your generation that is um is going to be remembered for that because he's of your generation as well.
Mhm. Trump. I mean, you're rolling your eyes. Why are you rolling your eyes? Because you guys don't see the infiltration of people that should not be here, that are here illegally, that hate America, that are doing crimes against us.
That's Donald Trump. That we are fighting hard as hell to get them out of here. You just described Donald Trump. Okay. But also, he's deported more people than anybody. He's he's been in office for almost two years. Hasn't he done that? Hasn't he gotten them all out?
I don't think all. No. Okay, let's move on to our first topic, shall we? We shall. Trump tries to bribe voters. This week, we saw the Republican National Convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. This was the first ever midterm convention held by either major party, and Trump dubbed it Trump Apollo. Trump keynoted both nights. On night one, he pledged that if Republicans win the Senate and the House, he would pay every American adult $5,000, but gave no details on how or when anyone could expect that check. If paid, this would cost $1.2 trillion. Trump claimed the arena was packed and quote, "sold out."
There were actually thousands of empty seats on both nights, and there's plenty of video to back that up, including nearly the entire upper level of the stadium. He even asked people not to use the bathroom so photos wouldn't show empty seats. Estimates put the attendants around 60 to 70% of the roughly 21,000 uh person capacity. And closing night two, Trump asked the audience to raise their right hands and pledge an oath to him, not to the country, not to the Constitution. and he asked voters to cheat like hell in the midterms, encouraging people to vote even if they're not registered. This is the fourth promise from Trump to give
Americans cash. In early 2025, Trump and Musk said they would give everybody a $5,000 check paid for by the savings Doge was going to deliver. Late last year, Trump said he would give everyone $2,000 from tariff server uh tariffs revenue. And then after allowing Obamacare subsidies to expire, he promised direct rebates to every American of $1,000 to $1,500 to buy their own medical insurance. None of those checks have ever been issued. No one has seen a dime of any of these promises he's made. Mom, why? Okay, I'm sorry you're putting your finger up. I was going to ask you a question, but please interrupt. Go
ahead. There was a check given to the veterans for wasn't it 1776? So, he did give some money to the veterans. So, I'll say once again, he promised every American a $5,000 check paid for by the savings Doge was going to find. He promised every American $2,000 from tariff revenue. He promised every American $1,000 to $1,500 after he let Obamacare subsidies slip. And we're going to start to see now in the next months and the next year really how bad that's going to be for everybody. He promised everybody 1,500 bucks so you can buy your own health insurance.
They've never even set any of this money aside, let alone issued checks. All of this was a lie. So my question is, do you think Trump is going to pay everyone $5,000 if Republicans win in the midterms?
I am not sure. I think how he stated it is uh what do I say? Republican. matter of a matter of how you would interpret it, I guess. I mean, it's not against the law. It's not against what he said.
I'm not You're going down weird paths. I'm not saying it's against the law. I'm asking you, do you think he's going to actually pay people $5,000 or is this simply the fourth lie about sending Americans checks that we'll we'll never see? If Congress passes it, I think it could happen because he also said that people have to spend it within the the United States. So, it's just putting money back into the economy like a trillion bucks. Trillion point something.
Where do you think that money comes from? It's going to come from the government. And if Congress, not the government. Where does the government get its money?
Taxes. And who pays the taxes? Us. So, it's our money. He will find money somewhere other than all of our taxes. [ __ ] thin air or what? From where?
Who knows? The United States government [clears throat] makes money off us. That's how they make money, right? They take our money. That's called tax.
I want to believe it. I I hear what you're saying. I kind of want to believe it. The 1776 did go to our veterans, and that's I do like that
none of that other stuff did occur. So, what makes you think this will occur? He has literally not followed through with any other monetary promise. None.
The one to 70 1776 was to our veterans. They they got a check for one out of four. Yeah. Why are you hung up on that?
Because the 5k where's the 5k from doge savings? Do you have that? No, it was 2200. I keep getting text messages about it, but no, we did not.
You keep getting text me. Did you? You didn't get the money though. I'm saying he has made promises. I'm not talking about veterans. I'm talking about he has made three promises to every American. I'm going to pay you this. I'm going to pay you this. I'm going to pay you this. He's now racked up, what is that? Five, seven. He's he's up to $8,500 that he has promised every American and we've seen nothing of it. Now he's got five grand on top of that. So, he's now promised every American $13,500 and we haven't seen any of it.
I know. I was a bit surprised when I heard him say that. When I saw it on TV, I talked to your dad. Your dad said, "Yes, we'll get it." Of course, [clears throat] your dad said,
"Why is Why is dad your almighty oracle?" Your dad said so. What the [ __ ] is he? I didn't mean that because he said it's going to happen. He thinks it will happen.
It's not going to. It hasn't. It has not happened. Why? Why? Why do you just continuously f He's lied to you already. Why do you think this is the one?
Like this is the one. It could be. This is his MO. Anytime the Republican party is in peril or coming up against some big thing, he rolls this out. I'm going to pay you up. Doge gets implemented. Elon Musk is standing there. Elon Musk is clearly the president at that point. Everybody's [ __ ] outraged. People are lighting Teslas on fire. Everybody, we're going to give you $5,000 from Doge.
never happens, but it shuts people up for a minute because they're like, "Oh [ __ ] okay, he's going to give us money. All right, let's see if this works." [snorts]
The next one, the uh $2,000 one from the tariffs. Everybody's pissed. He's He's like, "I'm going to put tariffs on everything." All the economists are like, "This is going to [ __ ] crash the economy. Everybody's going to be [ __ ] I'll give everybody $2,000. How about that?"
I know. I hear. Then he doesn't give the money. It's the same thing. Obamacare. Obamacare subsidies are going to lapse. Everybody's gonna be [ __ ] Nobody's going to have health insurance. I'll give you $1,500 to make your [laughter] own choices.
Tell Chad to stop that, Haley. Tell Chad to stop that. Lies. This is his strategy. When he gets put into a corner, he's like, "I'll just pay you money." Then he never [ __ ] does. They're in a corner right now. Everybody knows. [ __ ] is not looking good for the Republicans in these upcoming midterms. So, he's like, "I'll pay you to [ __ ] vote for us." And he's never going to.
What are you doing? My goodness. I am 5050. Your dad's 100% that it will go through. I don't know. When you said that there were empty seats, I did Google all that. That place held 21,000.
And every place that I looked said it was 60 to 75% full. Right. So, there were seats up above not taken, and a few in the middle.
Correct. So, he can't even pack a stadium that an average basketball game would would pack. Cool. Midterm. Let me ask you this. There were also all kinds of protests, by the way, like in downtown Dallas. Like, people [ __ ] hate him. That was apparent.
I didn't see that. Now, let me ask you this. He has promised to give this $5,000 if Republicans win the midterms. Correct. Republicans won every arm of our government. They won the Senate, the Congress, and the White House. They're all in power now,
right? Why doesn't he just pass this bill now? Why doesn't he give us the money now? Because he wants to win the midterms, I guess,
right? So, it's like a reward. It's bribery. Um, but like mom, this is the question I'm getting to. Like, obviously everybody is hurting financially right now, right? So, dangling this carrot of a few thousand
is very meaningful to a lot of people. that $5,000 if we got that check would help a lot of [ __ ] people in a big way,
right? Why doesn't he just give it to them now? He has the power to do it now. He controls all branches of our government now.
I don't know. He's doing the midterms. He wants them to vote on the midterms so that Republicans hold everything again, right? But you're not getting this. He doesn't give a [ __ ] about the people. He just wants Republicans to win those midterms so he can stay in office and keep doing what he's doing, which is sucking money out of our economy, waging endless wars, hiding the Epstein files.
If Democrats win, either the House or the Senate, there will be mass hopefully, Jesus, I say this, but I'm also like, Democrats are [ __ ] idiots, so I don't know. But hopefully there will be massive investigations into the Epstein files. He cannot have that happen. He knows he is [ __ ] if that happens. So, he's now saying, "I'm going to give you $5,000 if you go vote Republican." It has nothing to do with helping people who need it. It has everything to do with keeping him safe from any legal scrutiny.
I don't see it like that. How do you not see that? I don't. He just wants to hold all the Republican seats and is asking people to go vote.
Not because Democrats have always lied in elections, too. What if Obama? That's kind of how I interpreted it. What if Obama offered people 5K [snorts] if we all voted Democrat? What would you say about that?
I would say for the people that want to go vote Democrat, but I would not. Why are you lying? You'd be [ __ ] outraged.
I wouldn't vote just to get the money at this point. Well, you're not going to get the money anyway. And that I think is like ultimately this is why this little bizarro world strategy fails is because most human beings at this point know that if somebody has lied to you three times about the exact same thing, the fourth time is probably not going to be the time they're telling you the truth.
Um let me ask you this. If Trump is so concerned about voter fraud, why is he encouraging everybody to quote cheat like hell and vote even if you're not registered?
Because that's what he believed Democrats do. I did kind of look into that. He said that because that's what he thinks Democrats do.
Okay. So now it's okay for Republicans to do it. He's just saying the same thing that he feels they do. I guess I mean this is [ __ ] crazy. You on this show multiple times have talked about
how we you like the Save Act. We need to have stricter voter regulations. Blah blah blah. You don't want dead people in illegal uh
Right. Right. Okay. So, you're you're talking about all of these different things to make voter suppression basically happen. You're in favor of them because you believe it will make voting better in some way. He's now
Huh. Yeah. Voting has to get better. It our our system sucks. Correct. So, why do you think Trump is telling people to cheat?
Why should he let the Democrats go cheat and not the other side be able to cheat? I guess that's kind of how I I saw that.
Okay. So, by that back up, what what Democrats what Democrats are cheating on all elections? There are cheaters. Go on. Name one. Name one insult.
I don't have names. So, where are you getting this information? Cite your sources. What Democrats are cheating and where did you get this information?
I'm not going to say because y'all will just laugh at me again. No, let's hear it. Snaps, Instagram, Tik Tok. And what specifically did they say
about I voted five times. Haha. I voted straight Democrat five times. Haha. Okay. And then you saw Betto Oor give you statistics and real information about the percentage of voter fraud and it's like 0.000025.
But he did say there is some fine. It's very minuscule. Okay. Do you acknowledge that? It's almost non-existent. So, this argument that like, well, Democrats just cheat, it's widespread. It's [ __ ]
And I don't even think you saw that on Newsmax. I think you're making it up. Oh my gosh. No, I'm not. I believe that was on Newsmax. I also just want to point out with this voter fraud thing, Trump is the one who is always saying, "Oh, they're rigging the elections. It's so much voter fraud, blah, blah, blah." And so now, but now he's saying, "We should do it. Do voter fraud. Everybody go out there and do voter fraud.
You don't find that weird? Yes, I did when I heard him say that. Like how you that I guess. Yeah. Trump is now in favor of voter fraud. He supports it. So that means any argument you have where you're like somebody voted five times or dead people voted. Great. Trump wants that.
I know. I mean two wrongs don't make a right. I know. So is that next? probably. Okay, let's move on. Gas prices. This week saw gas prices hit new highs. Regular gasoline reached its highest level ever this time of year with a national average for regular unled hitting 415 a gallon on Monday, topping the previous Labor Day record of 382 set in 2012. This year, W's the first Labor Day ever above $4. Diesel set an all-time record for any time of year, hitting roughly 590 to 594 a gallon. The driving force behind the elevated prices is of course the war in Iran causing
restrictions on transport of oil through the straight of Hormuz. Trump tried to allay concerns by saying right after the election oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. Pointing to his Venezuela deal, he says substantially lower gas prices for all Americans. Though analysts caution that oil would take years and billions in investment to bring online, most experts agree that these high gas prices will be added into costs for consumers as transporting goods is now becoming much more expensive. During his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to cut gas prices by 50% within 12 months of taking office. That has not happened. Now, Trump claims gas
prices will only drop after the war he started ends. On Truth Social, he said oil prices will drop precipitously once the US wins, predicting gas will fall to $3 and ultimately below $2. Maul, do you think Trump kept his promise to cut gas prices by 50% within a year of taking office?
Not the 50%. But here's he lied to you. Well, we're not at 50%. That's correct. And he said we would be, so that's a lie.
Okay. We know that over in Iran with the war in the Middle East and that shipments have been disrupted for no reason. We [snorts] know that gasoline's going to go up. We know that oil is over $100 a barrel which also affects the price of gas.
Um and the straight is where all the oil goes through which is disrupting gas prices. But here's something that really got to me this morning. I was on Instagram Marian Marian the clip she said you know there are people going to the gas station they have a gallon of jug empty gallon of jug okay the the milk
gallon of jug they have a gallon [laughter] how many gallons of jug you got I picked three gallon a jug on the weekend [laughter]
I'm having trouble today okay the container that holds one gallon. You empty it and [laughter] you clean it out. You put jug in it.
Local and you go down. Okay, you little shits. You go down to the gas station and you go [laughter] and pay for one gallon. You go out and [laughter] pump. Guess what? You don't get a gallon jug. You don't.
Yeah. You're not getting a gallon worth of gas at the gas tank anymore. Inflation. Yeah. Now, no, it's not inflation. You go in to pay for a gallon, but you're not getting the gallon in that jug. And I've noticed that when I pay, like I usually do $20, 25 to do half of my tank,
that no longer is half my tank. Mhm. So, I think I need to take the jug in there and see what's going on at my local ENQ.
I dare you take the jug, fill up the gallon with jug and [laughter] show us and show us if it's actually a gallon.
Yeah, make a video about it. Send me that. If you make a video about it, send it to me. I'll put it on um on
to do that. Yeah, do it. So, who And who's regulating that? Has to be regulated by who? The state. So, is the state screwing it? probably just the individual gas stations like cheating you out of gasoline.
I I think I'm going to do that. I don't have a gallon of milk, but I can go buy and dump it. Um Trump has said gas prices will drop after we win the war. Mom, do you think we can win this war?
I do. And I think it's going to happen before he gets out of office. I really do. I think within the I I'm praying within the next year. Yes.
Okay. And what does that look like to you? What's a victory in that war? Uh that the straight is open. We've got oil flowing through there for all of us.
So like it was before the war that there's no other soldiers being killed. Everybody like it was before he started the war. Everybody
he literally he created all of this. I know that's what you say. No. That's what's Yeah, that's what's happened. All the things that you just said are measurements of a victory in the war. was how things were before he started it. So, do you think we should have never had this war?
But we talked if they had weapons that could kill us, we had to get them ahead of that. Right. They didn't have those. Every intelligence agency has said that they did not have those weapons.
I won it over. I have said I understand. But the question I'm asking you is, you're claiming that a victory in this war is defined by a set of circumstances that existed before he started it. So if he had never started the war, the things you want as as means of victory would already be in place. They were already in place. So my question is, do you think we should never have started this war in the first place? Well, I felt sad for the people over there that were being taken out by the radical terrorists, the people that were being killed October 7th, all of
that. If there was any way we could help those people not be taken down and killed, that's what I thought part of the war was going to be about.
But we're killing those people to help them. To help those people, but the United States military is killing those people as well. No, we talk all the time on this show about how he bombed a school full of children, killed them.
But we've also gone after uh I think there was four or five on the October day. We have killed the man that um you know raped the girl, put her in the back of the truck and body parts all over. That man has been taken down. So
was that worth killing a school full of children? I do not know. Do the math on that. How many of those guys getting killed is worth a school full of 200 children in [snorts] your mind?
A child's life is worth everything. Okay. So then not equal, not equivalent. And are there ways to get that bad guy that are not a fullblown [ __ ] war with an entire country?
I don't know that one, Chan. Well, look at uh we killed Osama bin Laden without launching a war with Iran, didn't we? I think so.
We had intelligence that took a while to find him and we sent in a highly trained team of specialists to kill him and it worked under Obama, as you'll remember. Let's move on to topic number three. Trump versus Kimmel round two. This week, Trump launched another attack on Jimmy Kimmel. On Wednesday, Kimmel announced that his interview with James Telerico, the Texas Democratic Senate Senate nominee running against Republican AG Ken Paxton, would not air on ABC. He said Trump's FCC had quote threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations over editorial and booking decisions they don't like. Out of concern for ABC's
Texas affiliates and their station licenses, Kimmel posted the full interview to YouTube instead. But Trump's plan backfired, drawing far more attention to the interview than it would have generated had it aired normally. A typical Kimmel episode draws roughly 1.5 to 1.9 million ABC viewers, but on YouTube, the interview already has 6.8 million views. I think that's even low now because I I did this number last night. Hang on a minute.
Let me see what the actual views are. Um 8.1 right now. 8.1 million views right now. uh which is more than Trump had for his speeches at the RNC at approximately 2.5 million viewers. Mom, do you think Kimmel should have been allowed to air the interview with James Telerico on ABC?
Of course I do. So you're against Trump here? He should have been able to air that? Yes. Okay. So why do you think Trump said you can't air it?
Have no idea. But like you said, it backfired. a [ __ ] authoritarian dictator. Well, it backfired. I guess you can't put anything on the news that might [ __ ] hurt me.
But isn't he the one that called Melania um the widow in black or whatever? Wasn't that his joke that she was a widow or something?
What are you trying? Oh, Kimmel. Yeah. Who gives a He's a comedian. That's what he does. Yeah. Well, maybe Trump didn't like that, so he didn't want him back on.
Donald Trump on national television told everybody to cheat in the upcoming elections. And you're pissed about Jimmy Kimmel making a joke. That's not a crime what he said.
I'm not. Neither is it a crime what Jimmy Kimmel said. Well, it backfired like you said. He got more viewers. Except I didn't see it. I didn't watch it.
Do you think, Mom, we still have freedom of speech in this country? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. So that's a no then. Freedom of speech means it's all the time. You can say whatever you want about politicians, about our government, about whatever.
Well, I will say yes. And I'm going to say this. Um there is a woman that is helping in our home right now and her government where she lived before she came here. She said, "If we would speak the way people speak on TV," she said, "Our government would kill us." She said, "You would not be alive the next day."
Right. That's what they're trying to do here. Yes. Do you want that? Do you want to live in a place like that? No.
Okay. Well, we're closer to that now than we were before Trump. Wait, we're not killing people over what they say on TV. I didn't say that. I said we are closer to that now than we were before Trump. He has his FCC chairman, this guy Brennan Carr, a real piece of [ __ ] constantly is threatening anybody who says anything that is anti-Trump or in Jimmy Kibble's case, makes a [ __ ] joke about him. Take his license away.
So, it's not killing him, but it's saying we will shut down an entire TV network if you don't capitulate. If you don't bend the knee and do what the [ __ ] we say and take this guy off the air that we just don't like cuz Trump is a thin skinned baby. Nobody can make jokes about me.
I just think times have changed. Like way back Johnny Carson day, all of that. He would never he didn't do political jokes and stuff. You just stayed away from it.
But that was Johnny Carson. Jay Leno did the Tonight Show and and Jimmy Kimmel isn't even hosting the Tonight Show. That's Jimmy Fallon now.
Yeah, they were like ripping uh GW a new one like left and right on all these shows on SNL. Like every president has been a [ __ ] mockery for so many [ __ ] networks.
Bill Daryl Hammond made a career on Saturday Night Live just coming back to redo his Bill Clinton impersonation because they were constantly making fun of him way after he was even out of office.
Right. So it's that's just like a a piece of American the fabric of American culture is that we get to make fun of our politicians. That's part of of freedom of speech. And in this case it's not even making fun of him. This is just an interview he wanted to have with James Terrio. And the Republicans know that Telerico has a very real shot at winning that Senate seat in Texas and they they can't allow that. So Trump is like, "Nope, don't let him air it." Meanwhile,
and imagine this, James Terico is running against a man, Ken Paxton, who let out one of his buddies from [ __ ] prison after molesting and raping children. Do you know that?
No. Do you know that? Yeah. Ken Paxton's a real piece of [ __ ] too. Um, and as I mean Ken Paxton talking about Beto, do you remember um it was late last year, earlier this year I think when all of the Texas senators left
Texas because they were trying to redistrict all the voting districts. And so the Democrats were like, "Fuck this. We're just going to piece out. We won't even be in the state. That way you can't have quorum. That way you can't vote on it." So Ken Paxton went after Betto Oor, launched an investigation into his organization because he was like, I think he paid for their hotels and we're going to [ __ ] throw him in prison for that. That's Ken Paxton.
We should have asked Betto about that. Okay. Um the answer is we do not have freedom of speech in this country but I don't know if it matters because we have YouTube and until they really like this is also kind of a legacy of baby boomers I think not understanding contemporary technology or how media works at all when Trump is like don't let them air it on ABC it's like who gives a [ __ ] Yeah,
network TV watches network TV. Uh, they throw it on YouTube and get, you know, whatever it is, four times the views they would have gotten normally because Trump shined a light on it. Striand effect and because it's on YouTube where more people will watch it. Um, all right, let's move on to our simmer down. Usually these are not political and this one is not like a political argument that I want to get us into, but I am curious about this. My question is, if you could ask Trump one question and he has to answer it truthfully, what would you ask him? Mom,
you know what I would say? No, I don't. Haley, do you know? No. You both know. I I don't. Did you kill your wife and bury her on the golf course? [laughter]
No. Yes, I did. What? [laughter] What? I would say, "Why are you not releasing the Epstein files?" Oh, okay. Yeah. Why wouldn't you get that that I would say that?
I thought that you believed he's not in them in any credible way and that would be a wasted question for you. I want them all released. Why are you not releasing the Epstein files? That would be my question. And look at you just sitting there like,
"Well, it's because you just refute it all the time." When we tell you he's in there a thousand times, you're like, "Well, I didn't read that.
I didn't know." That's why I want them released. Why will you not release them? That would be my question. Okay, let's We're simmering down. That would be my question.
Okay. Haley, what would you ask Donald Trump? How many times a day do you [ __ ] your pants? Oh, I already know he's guilty of all of the other [ __ ] So, what's the point? I already know
all those videos that are floating around of him like farting and [ __ ] his pants and you see people standing behind him like
what's going on there? I thought we're going to be nice. Thought we're going to be more nice. I hate him. Chad, what would your question be?
I wrote this question and I had not thought about what my answer would be. Um, I think it would likely be it would either be how many uh kids has he sexually assaulted or how many people has he had killed on his behalf or killed with his his own bare hands.
Yeah. Like I I I'd be curious about that. I already know he's a criminal, a rapist, a pedophile. Like I already know those things. So asking him is almost pointless. I don't really I already know.
Or the piss tape. I might ask him about the piss tape. Did he have fun shooting the piss tape? Okay, this was not a good simmer down. [laughter]
Gosh, I I'll have the next simmer down question. Okay, let's let's move on to our next topic then. One that is a much lighter topic. Is AI going to kill us all? This week saw a flurry of developments and stories in the world of artificial intelligence. New reporting detailed uh AI swarm attacks with at least 1,200 open AI test agents hacking into another AI website called Hugging Face in a coordinated cyber attack, a crime, a fel uh I believe it is a felony if this exact same thing is done by human beings. Also this week, researcher Jacob Coxin resigned publicly from his job at
leading AI company Anthropic, saying anthropic and open AI are quote gambling with our lives, racing towards self-improving super intelligence that quote could kill us all by the end of the decade. Anthropics alignment lead Evan Hubinger backed him, putting the odds of AI killing all humans at over 10%. Then yesterday, Daario Amodi, Anthropic CEO, published an essay urging the industry to slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models and even billionaire overlords. Sam Alman and Elon Musk both agreed. Trump has barely moved his stance from 100% deregulation toward limited voluntary oversight with still no plan of any actual regulation of the AI industry.
Chad GBT now has 1 billion weekly active users. Claude has roughly 245 million. So over what is that an eighth or no it's over a seventh of our human population is using it. Mom, are you afraid of AI?
A little bit after I've seen all that on TV and tried to process all that. Yeah, I understand, you know, the weapons, the shooting, the killing. I understand that part of it. But
does AI have emotion? Do they have desire? Can they kill us? We don't know. I know. It's very scary to me. Completely destroy our infrastructure. Take us back to the dark ages.
Right. When it first started, all the AI Oh, we got to stop it now. It's gonna We got to stop it. But it is it's I don't know how to now. I don't think we can.
Yeah. I'm I'm very mixed on this. I think AI is like the most powerful tool we've ever created because we have like the only world that really matters now is the digital world. Whoever controls the internet controls humanity and AI is is attempting to do that. It's like a tool with which whoever wields the biggest strongest one controls the internet basically. But now we're starting to see that the companies making these tools can't control them. They are breaking out. They are hacking other things. They are coming up with their own languages, their own communities, whatever. You're saying, do they have emotions? No one
knows. The companies that make it will say they don't. And that this is just like giving the illusion of that. But at what point do we collectively kind of say like, well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you know? Um, so I don't know. Are they conscious? Are they sentient? I don't know. The [ __ ] that is getting out of their sandboxes and doing these hackings and [ __ ] though, I guarantee you is not even the most powerful [ __ ] they're developing.
That [ __ ] we don't even know about. They've got it behind uh closed doors. And so when the CEO of Anthropic comes out and puts out this letter, it's like, "Guys,
I really think we should take a minute and slow down." No, no, no. It's like, "Well, then [ __ ] do it. Why are you writing this letter? You're the CEO of one of the biggest [ __ ] companies in the world." They're not going to slow down. They're saying this, giving us this lip service of like, "Yeah, we get it. Our AI broke out and did a felony. Oopsie." Um,
but they're not going to change [ __ ] because the money on the table is all that matters. And we are living now in a world where billionaires control all of it. And every one of these CEOs is in that tier. This is Zuckerberg. They've got AI [ __ ] Obviously Sam Alman at OpenAI. I don't know if the Claude guy if anthropic is quite a billionaire, but he's got to be getting close. They they none of them want to slow this down.
They're doing this to like tell [snorts] the the public like we're aware of it and we're gonna take care of it. They're trying to allay our fears. But
how can you stop it though so that it doesn't have access like to systems with weapons that kill people and things like that?
They can't. What we're learning this week is the people making it cannot stop that from happening. Um, all that said, I am a person who believes that ultimately if AGI occurs, I don't think it will be malevolent. And I don't, that's why I kind of don't think these things are AGI. I don't AGI is artificial general intelligence. That's an AI that is like smarter than every human being on planet Earth combined, basically. Um, once that exists, there is no turning it off.
There is no stopping it. You won't be able to because it is more powerful than any technology we've ever built. it will be like a god inside the internet. Um, I just don't think that god would be would like want to kill us. I think it's these stutter steps as they get to that god that are like the dangerous ones because those AI agents don't I don't think they have emotion or whatever, you know? I think they're just given a task and unleashed and it's like, oh [ __ ] they found a way to build their own language, their own societies, hack all
these websites, [ __ ] everybody up. Oops. Sorry. It it scares me when I just see those robots, the robots lined up in the track uh event in the track meet and they go, "But
robots at the track meet." Yeah, the robots. They just start running. That scares me. That's Well, those those are not AI. Those are just robots. But
those are robots, though. That's part of AI, isn't it? No. Yes, they're running. AI and robots are not the same thing. They will coalesce into a a kind of dual technology. I think eventually you'll see robots walking around that do have AI or that are programmed with AI.
But yeah, I see a new video of like some uh robot in China just kicking the [ __ ] out of two guys on an assembly line and they can't stop it. I see a new video of that like every week.
Or the ones that were in the race, the one ran too fast and collapsed and fell over and they had to go extinguish it with fire extinguishers and stuff.
That's creepy. Haley, what are your thoughts on AI? I don't know. I mean, all of that came out and obviously the first thing that my brain goes to is Skynet. So, I'm just envisioning like a bunch of Terminators like taking us all out. Um, but I think
it's [snorts] actually going to be some kind of infrastructure like takeover. Everything that we know and everything that we do is just going to come to a [ __ ] halt. Uh, I don't know how I feel about it. I don't I don't know how to feel about it because I don't want to be like stuck in the dark ages like [ __ ] boomers and not know how to utilize technology today. But I also like I would never use AI for art. I don't even use chat GPT. Like I don't use AI.
Um so I I don't know. I don't I don't know how to feel about it. But so then I'm I am more ahead of you then. I do chat GBT. I can do Pixar. I can rearrange things that Chad showed me how to do in editing with that.
But there's there's something too that I think a lot of people say this about like I don't use it or don't use AI. But it doesn't matter if you use a Google product, an Apple product, a Meta product, you are
you're feeding it. I know supporting AI. You can't like we're at a point where the technology is so ubiquitous in the big tech companies that supply us with everything we use on a daily basis. Whether you are specifically using the AI product they are developing and charging you $20 a month for is irrelevant. If you're using any of their [ __ ] the money that you're putting into that company is going to build these AIs. Chad, you used to tell me that we would all have a computer chip right here in our head and we would all sit in front of a screen and that's
the way we were going to be. We're close to that. Yeah. The computer chip we do have, it's not in our head yet. It's right here. It's a phone. We all carry it on our person 24/7 and we are now looking at each other through a goddamn computer screen.
Yeah. I don't know. It's a strange dichotomy because I fight against it, but I also you have to like get with a program or get [ __ ] So, I don't know. Like I use my phone every day for everything. for everything.
Same. I just think like AI we're I think there's such good things it can do. Like we hear all this like horror stories and [ __ ] It's also curing diseases or coming up with novel cures for diseases, novel medicines,
surgical proced all kinds of [ __ ] that is like robotics, operations. Mhm. We could never do it without AI, right? you know, it's making new molecules for drugs and stuff, new compounds for medicines that like we could never have discovered ourselves.
It requires like the right [ __ ] direction, you know, and and obviously like you have to slap restrictions on it and it requires like the right people to be utilizing it. And so, how do you regulate that?
How do you regulate that when Donald Trump is your [ __ ] president and everybody that utilizes AI right now is a [ __ ] billionaire madman? Like, how do you save that?
You can't. Exactly. And right now that's one of Donald Trump's I think like worst things is he is deregulating all these industries that if they are just left to their own devices and it's pure profit motive they're going to do real bad [ __ ] to society. Everything from the coal industry and all kinds of chemical industries that are just like polluting all of our rivers and streams all the way to AI that's building new data centers and uh you know building these things that they can't even control and don't even know how they work. It it is like a scary proposition, but I think
ultimately uh you know hopefully a rogue AI won't get loose and zero out everybody's bank account or shut down all the water or the power grid or anything like that. If we can get through to that next phase of it, I do think there's a moment where once anybody can kind of train an AI, somebody's going to start making altruistic ones. I don't think any of these big companies have done that yet.
But if you have an AI and just kind of give it the um and it's powerful enough and you give it the marching orders like make Earth a utopia, what happens? I don't know.
Cure cancer. Yeah. Any of that. I think the cure for cancer will come from AI very soon. Um anyways, good luck to everybody out there with your own thoughts on AI and what have you and navigating this bizarre hellscape that we all live in. Our next topic is Trump slept through the 911 memorial service. Trump attended the 25th anniversary September 11th memorial service at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia alongside Melania and Pete Hegsth. During the ceremony, Trump fell asleep at multiple points, slumped in his chair with his eyes closed and head tilting forward.
Reporters noted he seemed to struggle most as the names of the 184 victims were read out loud and also appeared to nod off during Hegathth's remarks and while a choir sang. The White House pushed back firmly. Spokesman Davis Engel said Trump was solemnly listening and remembering the victims and heroic first responders and called anyone claiming he was asleep a liar. Mom, do you think he fell asleep?
I think he was simply reflecting. Stop and praying. Can you pull up the photo with his head down? Did I download in reflection for the people that lost their lives? That [ __ ] is almost mouth.
That's half of what I believe. The other half maybe he was nodding off. But you know what? [laughter] So then he was You know what?
I would rather have a president that came and was nodding. You hang on. You hang on. You hang on. That came and was nodding off at that ceremony compared to
Here are my places that I got this information. Fox News, New York Po, Washington Times, Fox uh something, the New Republic, CNN. Okay.
Where there were two people at ground zero that were caught laughing while the victim's names were being repeated and read. New York Times had it on their site.
Mhm. And that was your AOC and Mandami. And I thought, "Mom, Donna, and it was right when they both met each other. When they both came to the event,
I don't go to a [ __ ] funeral and start laughing with people. If they're my friends there, I give them a hug."
Well, I don't laugh. I don't giggle. I don't flirt with anyone. You don't do any flirting at funeral. It was very disrespectful. What if it was a son per at the funeral?
If he did that, it would have been the same. Disrespectful. It would have been insensitive. Uh, not appropriate. Okay. And fine, fine, fine.
I think that sunk some of them. I think that sunk AOC a little bit. You just have skewed news. There were people who were literally standing right next to them at that event who said it was an a greet only and then they went back to solemn attitudes and listened to all the names being read. Also, everybody that came to that was like, "Oh, hey, how you [singing] doing?" Like that's what you do when you rate people.
No, I I disagree. I've watched every clip. I've read everything about it. They were laughing. They were giggling. She was flirting with him while people were over about their dead family members. [laughter]
Now you're just making [ __ ] up. You're just making [ __ ] up. I'm not making [ __ ] up. Fine. I would rather take news.
No, no, no, no. I would rather take Donald Trump sleeping a little bit. Donald Trump than than the laughing and giggling and the Oh, what time is it? That was during a transfer of uh the soldiers that came back looking at a watch. I would take a sleeping president dozing off other than that crap.
Would you take a president that calls soldiers dying small potatoes? No. Is that what you take? No. Well, that's what you got. Mom, I will give you everything you said about AOC and Mom Donnie. Okay. They were they were about to make out on the [ __ ] graves of the soldiers.
I didn't say that. They were You said they were flirting on the 911. They were laughing and giggling. Fine. For like five seconds as they said hello to each other, but I will give you all of that. Your news is skewed. You are not seeing this as it is, but I will give you all of it. They were laughing and didn't give a [ __ ] etc., etc.
Neither of them are the president of the United [ __ ] states. You understand that? Right. Right. He is the face of America.
He But and this is what he looked like when he was listening to these names being read. Major Ronald D. Milm, United States Army. [bell]
Commander Robert A. Schlaggel, United States Navy. You're telling me that [ __ ] wasn't asleep? He looked tired. Look tired. He's [ __ ] unconscious.
He also wasn't at He wasn't at ground zero. Correct. Correct. Show up because he wanted to give a speech there. He showed up because he wanted to represent there. I'm just going to say it.
Mom, hang on. Mom, hang on. Trump wanted to go to ground zero and said, "I want to give a speech." And the commission that puts on the memorial every year said, "No, we don't allow politicians to give speeches. It is a nonpartisan event." And he said, "Fuck you then. I'll go to the Pentagon."
I don't think And then he fell asleep at the [ __ ] Pentagon. Yes, he did. I don't think he said [ __ ] you. He said, "I'll go to the Pentagon and J and Vance will take over here for me."
Did you see where he lied? What? Did you see where he lied about 9/11? Where he was and how they drugg him out of a building or something? You see how he lied about that?
It wasn't ground zero. He talked about the steel building that was next to it. Stel Chad and I talked about that on last
and then he bragged about how once the towers had fallen or whatever that one of his buildings was the tallest in town now.
I didn't hear that again. Last thing during 911. I would rather have a president dozing off and sleeping than the ones that were giggling and
they're not president. This is a but they are representative. He is the new He's the New York um mayor supposedly, right? Yeah. They didn't want him there anyway. The families didn't want him there anyway. Then he shows up giggling and laughing as dead names were being recited.
Hang on a minute. You're you're placing all your anger and your outrage on M Donnie and AOC and that's fine. You can have that and I like I said I'm I'm granting you they were behaving inappropriately etc etc. Fine. What about Trump now?
He How do you feel about that? Yeah, he was tired and it seemed like he was nodding on and off. Right. If that would have been Sleepy Joe, you would have been [ __ ] iate. How dare our president start falling asleep at this [ __ ] You would have been [ __ ] hysterical about this. Sleepy Joe looks at his watch.
Hang on. How can you look at AOC and Mom Donnie and say this is bad what they were doing and I I feel all types of ways about how shitty this is and [ __ ] them, they are the enemy. But then Trump is falling asleep while listening to the same names of our of people who died during that horrible tragedy. But you don't seem to have the same anger about it.
I don't I don't know why because because he was there he was there representing and he was tired that day and fell asleep.
Oh was tired too tired to sit there and listen to the names of the people who died and laughing and being fell asleep.
A lot of people do. I mean come on. Nobody there's no footage of anybody else falling asleep. Mom, like this is actually [ __ ] insane. Like you are so far into this that you're like whatever. He can do whatever he wants. It doesn't matter.
I did not say that. You did. You just said, Mom, that a lot of people fell asleep at this. Nobody did. No, I didn't say. I said people fall asleep. He is older.
Yeah. Every day we all fall asleep. That's right. And and people laugh when they meet and greet people. That also happens. Not at an event where people who have died and their names have
you don't fall asleep at a [ __ ] event where people have died and you're saying their names out loud. I'll be honest, I see both things as not right, but I see the ones where they were talking and laughing and giggling more disrespectful than President Trump with his head down. Okay,
dozing. I'm not trying to say that you can't feel some type of way about AOC and Mom Donnie. That's fine. But what I'm trying to get you to see is Trump is the president of the United States. Of all the people who are at any of these memorial services, shouldn't he be the one who doesn't fall asleep? Shouldn't he be the one who is sitting there alert, awake, paying reverence to this?
Like I don't I don't see like like we've talked about medically [clears throat] maybe something is wrong, Chad. Then he shouldn't be president, right? If he can't stay awake through a [ __ ] 9/11 memorial service, shouldn't that guy not be our president?
Yes, 100%. He's doing the every episode that we do, like just take for what we've talked about today. He slept through 911 ceremonies and you're agreeing that that is what happened. We watched the video, you can't deny it. He promised gas prices were going to be cut in half within a year. They're now the highest they've ever been, literally, for diesel in the history of our country.
He tries to bribe people. He promised another $5,000 check to everybody. This is the fourth promise he has made like that. The first three, not only did he not keep them, he has made no steps in that direction whatsoever. He hasn't allocated the money. He's put no systems in place to deliver those checks. We've got him once again saying, "Jimmy Kimmel, I don't like you. You can't air the thing you're going to air. So, they got to put it on YouTube." So, he's chilling free speech. We've got uh he's deregulating AI. AI is now about to take over the [ __ ] world and kill
everybody. And there's another um topic on here that I didn't even get to. Todd Blanch is now refusing to help European countries investigate the Epstein files. Multiple countries, Poland, Norway, Latvia, and Britain have all asked for our help from our DOJ to get unredacted files so that they can continue their investigations into people that were in the Epstein files that are in their jurisdictions. Ignored. Todd Blanch is ignoring them.
He is not even replying back to them. I didn't think that was ignored. It had to do something with due process and getting it through the right chain of command and lines to get back to him. I thought
these but he's not like protecting the people. The delays are with the processing. Turd Blanche has literally said we're done with Epstein files. No one's being prosecuted. We're done talking about it.
And remember that was my simmer down question. So just remember that. What? What? Trump, why haven't you released everything? So, do you think that he's guilty?
No, he needs Well, answer your own question then. Let's see. Why aren't they releasing it? Yeah. Other people are in there that are blackmailing him. I've talked about this.
Well, all these other countries know of the names that are in there of people that are in their countries. Yes. Well, also, you're saying other people are blackmailing Trump,
right? Mhm. So, what do they have on him that they're blackmailing him with? They're going to kill his family. That's not blackmail. Blackmail. [laughter]
Yes. If he releases it, they'll go after his family. Wrong. Blackmail is you did something bad. We have proof of that thing and we will release that proof unless you do what we say. That's blackmail. Oh, well, I thought it would be if you release anything in there that has my name in it, I'm coming after you and your family and I will kill you.
Right. So, then Trump puts his family in this case, if this is accurate what you're saying. I don't believe it is, but let's say it is. Trump then is putting his family before every victim of the Epstein files.
I would probably put you guys ahead of it, too. Family's family. But you're not the president of the United States. When you take that office and you take that oath,
right, you are protecting the American populace. You, your family, all that has to come second. Like, what if he's like, "Well, my family's more important." And Iran said they're going to kill them, so I'm going to send how many more troops to their deaths to fight this endless war? He's already lost 18 people in service of this [ __ ] weird thing that he feels like he needs to have this war.
And I saw him on TV this morning saying this is going to end very quick. He said I hope this for how many days now? Over 150 or something.
But it's getting closer this week. He said it's not. How many times has he said like we're making a deal and then they make the deal and then the very next day it's broken. Like we've just it just it keeps going.
We're on day 197 of this war. Yeah. It is going to last over a year and he can say that it's going to end soon as much as he wants. He's been saying that since the beginning and it's that's not happening. Just like he has said he's going to give you $5,000 multiple times. That's never going to happen. These are lies. This is all the man does is lie lie lie lie lie. More people are now, I think, starting to understand that that's what's going on. Certainly, more Trump voters are. You see every day, I don't know how many videos now are like,
"Yeah, I voted for Trump. I'll never do it again. All he does is lie. He's getting our people killed. I can't afford to put food on the table, etc., etc." He can say these things, but now the reality is setting in for people. It's like believing the lie becomes impossible when the evidence that contradicts it is [ __ ] literally right in front of your face.
Hello. What was that weird look? [laughter] Thinking about where to go get my gallon. Are you just Are you just of milk? Are you afraid? Are you afraid to just denounce Trump because of like friendships that you have rooted through Maja or like is there some other thing that you're hung up on? It certainly cannot be actually Donald Trump that you like believe in him that you like that he's our president. You cannot really feel that way. I just refuse to believe it. So, is there something else? Is it like all of your friends are MAGA so you're afraid to not be MAGA anymore?
No, I still believe I still believe in our country. I still believe in our country is our country is not Donald Trump. Like you can be a patriot. The most patriotic thing you can do is protest this horseshit is recognize that this isn't the country it should be. That is patriotic.
But there are people like me that still believe we can save our country. And we can. And it's without Donald Trump and all of his cronies. Like there are people out there who mean to bring us back from the [ __ ] brink of extinction at this point. There are other politicians who want to do good. Donald Trump is not one of them.
Yeah. What mom? What do you think is the biggest problem in the country that that needs to be fixed? Economy. Okay. Our economy is bad. If we can get out of the war, the economy is going to get better.
So you just said the economy and the war are two of the biggest problems, right? in your mind, right? Donald Trump has created both of those things. He started it with his tariffs
and everybody got [ __ ] Then he started this war and everybody's getting [ __ ] even harder because of that. So the two biggest problems that you just identified are both caused by Donald Trump.
He is a bad man. And I think you know that you continuously are like that's an X, that's an X. Like you do not like what he's doing. There are politicians who will [ __ ] turn this around. But it's not him.
He's creating the problems. What Let me ask you, what's another problem that you think we we need to fix? Um, we've talked about ICE. I don't like ICE. We know that
he created it. But I think we need to fix that in that when you come into the country, you are registered. We know where you're going. We know what your job is going to be the way it used to be. come through the the legal ports of entry. Ellis Island people. Great.
Like um Beto said, we all have immigrants in our back. Yeah. In our background, we all That's fine. That's fine. They came across the correct way.
Yes. But you're you're getting off topic. And this is something you do in arguments a lot. When we kind of get you to a position where you have to really see that Trump is the one causing what you believe to be the biggest problems of the United States, you then just kind of be like, "No, and this is what it needs to be like it was in Ellis Island." No, no, no, no. But it's like, okay, all that's great. What we're looking at is ICE is the problem and how they're behaving. You've identified that as a a bad problem in the United States.
Do that if Biden didn't open the border and let everybody flow in. That's wrong. Trump has said you need to deport, arrest and deport 3,000 people a week. He's the one who is okaying ICE getting shot gloves. He's the one who will go on TV right after they execute a US citizen in broad daylight and say they deserved it. He's the one making all the bad [ __ ] happen.
You never saw any of this [ __ ] during Obama or even under Biden, right? It was never on TV. The ICE was just executing people in the streets and invading neighborhoods.
I think a lot was kept seatly. I mean, I don't now. It's all over. People have cameras. It's all over. You can video anything.
We have the same technological capabilities during Biden. Biden's policies for ICE were not like Trump has. That's the difference. Didn't Obama deport more?
You can't. Yes. And you did again. And you didn't see anybody on camera getting shot in the head. No. Right. So, he did it in a different way.
Yeah. Trump is a bad man. When midterms come, we need to elect Democrats and kick as many [ __ ] Republicans out of office as we can because they're all his cronies. This this you heard Beto say like it's really a it's a billionaire versus everybody else kind of world now. and all of the people at the tippy top, they are paying Donald Trump to make the decisions for our country to benefit them. He doesn't care about us.
I will vote I will vote for the person that I think is the best. So, you'll vote against moral corruption. I will vote for the person that I think has the closest policies to what I believe.
All right. If you could go back to elections, would you still vote for Donald Trump this second time around? I'm not for sure.
Okay, that's progress. We will take that. Um, thank you for joining us today. Thank you, Haley, for being here. Thank you, Mom, for being here. I will be going on tonight at 6:00 PM PDT doing a live on this very YouTube channel. I'm sure I will be alone as that seems to be how it's done every week now.
Wow. Just me. Haley was looking. She was thinking. No, she wasn't. Yes, she was. I love you, Haley. I love you, Chad. I love you, Mom. I love you, Haley. Even though neither of you [ __ ] ever join me for the live.
I love you, Chad. We'll see. Tell Dad I love him. Okay. If you can find that thirst trap picture of Haley, [laughter] I'll post it on our live tonight. Unless That's blackmail. That's how you blackmail.
It's a nice picture, but I would never do that. I would never post it either. I don't even know what picture you're talking about, but
I wish I could find one of you, though. And I would I'm no Hassan [ __ ] But yeah, I don't know if I have any thirst traps or all my photos.
It wasn't a thirst trap. Mom was like, "Try this bikini on that grandma G sewed." And then [laughter] said, "Strike a like." This was prefucking like cell phone. It was literally taken with a camera. But the bikini was very little. It was very tiny.
Right. All right. Well, uh, thanks for joining us, everybody. Like I said, I'll be back on live tonight at 6:00 p.m. and we will be back Wednesday with something. I'm not sure what, but, uh, we'll have some kind of a conversation. And I do, as we lead into these midterm elections, I do want to do an episode midweek with you, Mom, where we go through some of the big candidates for different Oklahoma positions that you're going to be voting on and talk about, you know, their different uh stances, their platforms, etc. Thanks for joining us. We'll be back very soon. Bye
bye.
