Welcome to the necessary conversation midweek edition. It is me Chad Colulchin here with my mom no longer in her Trump hat. American flag is good.

0:12

American flag [snorts] is good. On these midweek episodes, we show each other videos from around the various sides of the political bubbles that uh at least the ones I'm going to show you today, I'm not sure you've seen because you are plugged into Newsmax and everything. And also, we should give an update on dad. I talked to him on the phone because he called me thinking I was Roman.

0:34

Okay. So, I don't know how good that is, but he did sound a lot better. He sounded like coherent, which was um step up.

0:42

He's doing a lot better. And I think he'll be able to do like one topic very soon. Okay. And he'll be able to do one topic, I think. Yeah, we have been rehabbing. He's getting a lot stronger. He's getting a lot better. Right.

0:58

Yeah. But um I wanted to say this. Haley is busy today and apparently someone aed her and she's not very happy. I saw something on her web page where

1:10

I think I reposted that on Necessary Conversations Instagram. Yeah. She's very upset. Yeah. Did you see it? I didn't see what the thing was. I just saw her talking about how she got AIDed or something.

1:22

Yeah. She wasn't happy. Yeah. And then u two more little diddy things. It's so hot here, Chad. Yeah, that's global warming. I would trade you. Today it's supposed to be 108.

1:35

Yeah, yesterday 106. It's like when you go outside, it's like a blow dryer is hitting you in the face. It's bad. Are you believing that global warming is real now?

1:46

I'm not for sure. I just think our climate I think climate overall is changing crazy. Yes, that's global warming. or um climate changing,

1:58

however you want to call it, the temperature of our climate is increasing year after year. We had the worst El Nino, I think, in history is happening now or happened in the past couple of weeks.

2:11

And then one last little thing before you start the show to go. Um, so I only go to a few stores. We don't need to say the names. I go to a few stores. I go to the barn. I come home.

2:23

As I walked into this one store two days ago, I think it was. Before I even got the cart, I hear a voice. Are you Marylu? And I turn and I go, "You know, you guys have taught me now how to do this." I said, "Yes, I am."

2:39

And he he said, "I love the pod." I said, "Thank you." and he shook my hand and he said, "I'm just a great big fan and I appreciate everything that you do with your kids on there." And then, you know, I I kind of turned it on him. I said, "Where do you live?" And he said, "I live I can't say, you know, but I live very close." And he told me the town. And he said, "I I always wondered if I'd ever see you out in public someday because we live kind of close."

3:10

And I said, "Thank you again for watching the show." And I started to walk away. And then something I needed and you never know when someone that you encounter needs something.

3:22

Mhm. He said, "I am sorry for the loss of your friend." And he said, "Jules." I said, "I appreciate that so much. I needed that today. Thank you." And then we parted our ways. I held my composure the best I could to go into the store to continue my shopping. and I broke down in smiles, but then I was okay. And then Yeah. So, thank you, man. I won't say your name. Thank you. I did need it that day. I appreciate it.

3:52

All right. Um, well, we have six clips to get to. You sent me two, so I uh augmented it by doing four this week instead of three.

4:02

The one I sent with Victor Hansen, we can wait because that's pretty long. But the other two I did want to get to.

4:08

Victor Hansen. Who's that? You didn't see that one. Did you say three links? Two of them were the same link. Okay. Well, these are the two videos you sent me. So, let's start with that. One of mine is like extremely short as well.

4:25

Um, okay. Here's the first video you sent me. Let's take a look. Another reminder of what that party has become. Here is the Catholic governor of Massachusetts, a woman who is married to another woman who has no biological children in the second most Catholic state in America, signing a bill that allows abortions up to birth in the state of Massachusetts. She is surrounded by a group of truly sick women, all smiling, all clapping for the death of babies.

5:06

Thank you. The left has gone from normal to this. Clapping for murder. Clapping for killing babies. Meaning we went from this to what just happened in Massachusetts. We can support a woman's right to choose that makes abortion safe, legal, and rare and reduces the number of abortions. The left has gone from safe, legal, and rare to we just don't care to a Catholic governor. Think about that. Signing a bill that allows women to have an abortion on her due date. Think about that. Somehow the message has gone from practice safe sex, wear a condom to don't worry about it, you can have an

5:52

abortion anytime you want, including in the ninth month of your pregnancy. And the left call the right extreme. Yeah, extremely normal. Jake Tapper literally thinks that I am far right. Well, Jake, if I'm far right, what are you? Because none of what the left stands for anymore is normal.

6:12

Jesus, coming in hot. First one out of the gate today. Um, yeah. Okay, so that guy, that show Finity is a show on Newsmax. That clip was repurposed and put on Truth Social, which is Trump's social media network.

6:26

So, you're just drinking from the fire hose here. This is this is all propaganda. Um, where to even start with this? Clapping for the murder of babies. You want to talk about the murder of babies?

6:38

Trump dropped a bomb on a school of children. Who's deflecting now, Chad? I'm [clears throat] not deflecting. I'm saying you can't have it both ways. You can't be against abortion and then also support Trump who literally kills children. Who is helping Netanyahu kill children in God's

6:58

I am I am for life. I am for life in children. I am for life in adults. I'm for life. I'm for life. I'm pro-life.

7:06

Then you have to be against Trump. He is for pro-life, too. No, he's not. Trump right now is killing people indiscriminately. How we talked about last week or the week before Operation Southern Spear where he's just vaporizing people on boats that have nothing to do with drugs. He is a murderer

7:26

of children. I don't see it that way. Let's go back to my clip if we can. Now, I remember one time earlier in some of our podcasts, like maybe a year ago, I was trying to tell you there were states with no limit on abortion. And you and Haley call me that chick crazy and call dad crazy. You said there's no way that that is is correct.

7:49

Okay. No, it's 10 states now. It's Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, uh Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and DC also has no gestational duration uh restriction. Now, what they're saying is,

8:09

but it has to be performed by a licensed physician using their professional medical judgment. That's not somebody coming in with one day left before their baby's due and being like, "Well, decided I don't want to abort this baby." It's not. It's not. It's for medical reasons. If the life of the mother is being threatened,

8:28

when I looked up what Okay, what is a professional uh medical judgment? It's based on education, um, their training, um, what that doctor feels is ethically right. Who knows?

8:43

But, mom, okay, just just kind of logic this out with me a little bit. Let's say you get pregnant and you don't want the baby.

8:52

Are you going to carry it for nine months before getting the abortion? Some people might. Not that me. Why would anyone do that?

9:03

Some people are doing that, Chad. Why Why would anyone do that? Why wouldn't you just get the abortion as soon as you made that decision?

9:11

Because they haven't made up their mind. Okay. Yet. Now, in those states, because there's no limit, they can wait till the very last moment. And

9:23

but no one is doing that as a means of birth control. That's what I don't think you understand. You seem to think that people are just getting abortions left and right cuz ah whatever. I forgot to use a condom. Who cares?

9:37

That's not what is going on here. I do believe sometimes that happens. That's what I believe. Great. Um I also um saw this post and I did like this. This was from a doctor. It was on Instagram. I'm not going to say his name, but he's an MD, has a MBA. He said, "I'm board certified OB/GYN who has delivered over 2,500 babies. There's not a single fetal or maternal condition that requires third seme trimester abortions. Delivery, yes. Abortions, no.

10:12

during the third trimester too in order to save a mother of course, but it could be um at that time a C-section. Correct.

10:26

I don't know. I'm sure there's a million different medical complications that can happen. Pregnancy is not an easy thing. It's very complicated. Uh I'm sure there's so many things that can happen and go wrong that would require an abortion. What if the baby dies in the womb?

10:44

Exactly. Yes. Like you said, there are different scenarios for different people. And I'm sure we're talking to people that some of this has happened to them. And I'm sorry either way. What I'm saying is even at six months, if they said something was wrong with the baby that was inside of me, I would go all the way full term and allow that baby to be born because I

11:12

What if they say you're going to die if we don't abort this baby? I would still probably give it a shot. Well, that's you. Other people don't have to make that same choice. I know what I'm

11:24

I know this is a very controversial subject and I almost didn't even put that out there, but when I saw those ladies behind that Catholic

11:33

governor. Yeah. Okay. Catholics are pro-life. And abortion is a sin. I think it's even a mortal sin. Okay. And there she is signing it and everybody clapping behind her. It just kind of upset me quite a bit. and your little finery guy saying these disgusting women.

11:54

There's misogyny is baked into everything MAGA does. Oh my god. The way he said that these women, it's he's trying to get you to hate women so that you will vote against your own interest in the next elections.

12:09

No, it just makes me more pro-life and against abortions when I saw that. But like nobody's that clip wasn't the only one. I saw different clips over and over and over about that governor signing that that

12:25

what happened to states rights. Well, I would never live in that state then. Fine. You don't have to. But you and dad are always beating that drum. When the Supreme Court overturned Row versus Wade, you and dad both said, "Well, they didn't overturn it. It's states rights. Every state gets to decide now." Now, here's a state deciding and you're [ __ ] all over it.

12:50

I'm not [ __ ] all over it. I believe the moment of conception, that's a that's a baby. That doesn't matter. Whatever you believe doesn't matter. You don't live in that state.

13:00

Okay. You didn't get to vote on that. That governor signed it into law. That's states rights. Do you support states rights or not?

13:07

I don't think they voted on that. I think that was just a she signed it. I don't think it was a vote. Look that one up as I read this next thing. Uh, an ICU nurse said this statement. I've seen babies born at 24 weeks that survive.

13:22

Michigan voters approved proposal three on November 8th, 2022, adding a fundamental right to reproductive freedom of abortion state. Looks Massachusetts. The ICU nurse said, "I've seen babies born at 24 weeks that survive. So, in what scenario would you terminate a baby at 36 weeks unless a mom was in danger? But at that point, you could also do an emergency C-section.

13:48

Okay. Massachusetts, what they say? Yes. The Massachusetts legislature voted on and passed the abortion bill H5595 and Governor Mora Healey signed it into law in August 10th, 2026. The vote passed 119 to 133. 119 to 133

14:07

in the uh in the favor of the 133. [clears throat] Okay. In favor of the 119. 119 233. Oh, 233. I was going to go 133.

14:19

Well, okay. Let me It just It was very upsetting to me. I And that was not the only clip. There's been a bunch. And I know there's other people that feel the way I do, but maybe there's people that feel the other way. And that's okay too,

14:33

your body. I just know as a woman myself, having babies myself, the doctors always told me I could squirt them out and go out into the field and keep working. That's how easy my child birth was.

14:47

The field. What field were you working in? You know, whatever field I needed to go work in, the doctors always said I was like a baby machine.

14:54

Like a corn field? Yeah. I could squirt them out and keep working. Yeah, that's what they said. That's how easy my deliveries were. Just for the record, to my knowledge, you did not work in any fields.

15:04

No, but I did get off the delivery table with you and walk back to my room. That's how easy it was. Yeah. But what I'm saying, I know there are other women out there not as easy um with any of it. And this is just my voice, how I feel. I feel the baby should have a chance. I feel at the moment of conception when the egg and the sperm unite, that's a baby.

15:26

I get it. However, this is in direct opposition to you and dad saying you believe in states rights. I do believe in states rights. But

15:36

and what's your problem here? That's killing a child. That state decided to do that. It's their right to make that decision. That's state's rights.

15:46

How could we turn so evil to be able to kill children? Donald Trump blew up a school full of children. I know. Now you are deflecting again.

15:57

No, I'm not. I'm trying to No, I'm not deflecting. I'm trying to show you that you have a very hypocritical view of almost all issues, but certainly this one. You say all children should live, but when Donald Trump blows up a school full of them, now you're deflecting. I didn't reconcile that.

16:16

Okay. I didn't rec said that was okay. I'm not saying school with kids. I'm not saying you did. But if you're saying, "I believe all children should live." The president that you keep saying is my president, despite all the [ __ ] that you disagree with him about, blew up a school full of them.

16:35

Mhm. Still your president? Yes. Okay. Um, do you believe Donald Trump has ever paid for an abortion? I have no idea. I'm gonna say yes.

16:47

How do you know? Uh, just based on the number of women that have accused him of sexual assault. the I mean, we have credible news about Stormmy Daniels that he was having an affair with her while Melania was pregnant. I'm sure that wasn't the only time he was messing around on his wives.

17:03

That's crazy that you would even say that or think that. That's crazy. That Donald Trump has has paid for someone's abortion. That's crazy, Town. You don't you don't even know this.

17:12

No, I don't. But I'm saying the strong statistical bring you hate him so bad that you would say something like that. I don't have a problem with abortion. I'm saying for you, if you found out Donald Trump was responsible for someone having an abortion, would you denounce him as your president?

17:29

I don't know. I don't know. So, that's what I'm saying. You're you're hardcore against uh abortion in this case in the state of Massachusetts,

17:39

but if Trump had done one, you wouldn't care. You reconcile. I never said that. You're pushing me into a corner again. I'm not pushing you into a corner. I'm trying to show you that your values do not align with Donald Trump's. I You're pro-life. That's fine. I'm not trying to change your mind on that. But your attitude about it specifically in this case, goes against

18:02

what I thought was a previously held kind of entrenched belief in states rights because you and dad said that specifically about this issue when they overturned Row versus Wade. Now, a state is exerting its right in this case and you're against it. Also,

18:19

you're saying kids shouldn't be killed. Trump is killing them. So, what you're saying your beliefs are don't align with what you're saying now. And they certainly don't extend to Donald Trump. I I did not like the evil in Massachusetts [laughter] where the ladies were clapping and sharing that there is no limit now on an abortion.

18:50

Okay. All right. Okay. So, but do you like when Trump comes out and he's like, "The war in Iran is a success. We've obliterated them and he's killing kids.

19:05

No, I don't like that. You know, I don't like that either. Okay. But not enough to denounce him. Let's um let's move on to your second clip. I don't know what this one is. Are you ready?

19:15

It's probably on the abortion thing. Yes. Here we go. The world is much more in the interest of the United States than just 5 years ago. And most of that is due to the unpredictability of Donald Trump. Trump is written off as someone who is too volatile. But that's the art of the deal. Unpredictability of his nature. It's more important to see what he's done. Look at Latin America. 5 years ago, the Chinese were controlling through their surrogate companies the entry and exit to Panama. Russia and China were the de facto rulers of Venezuela, the second largest oil reserves in the world. A slew of

19:50

communist governments had taken over South America. What's happened now? There are no Chinese influencers in Panama. There have been pro- US changes in government in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina. In other words, the Western Hemisphere is now staunchly pro- US and copying many of the protocols that we are such as tough on crime, free market economics, secure borders. They're not sending people out of insane asylums or mental hospitals or prisons into the United States. Russia is not getting sanctioned oil from Venezuela or Iran. None. Look at Europe. Five years ago, Europe had been jawbone by Donald Trump in his first term to at least spend 2% GDP on

20:37

defense. Six nations did so. Now, almost 30 of 32 nations have now all agreed to spend 5%. More importantly, they're re-examining all of the things that weaken Europe. They're going to secure their borders. are going to start deporting people from Europe. It's a radically different world.

20:58

I think you've shown me that guy before. Um, who knows if anything he said is true. I I'm going to Google right now.

21:06

He is one of the greatest historians in the history of our United States. He lives in California. He um teaches college at oh gosh, what's the name of the school? He's like brilliant, Chad.

21:23

Okay. He's he he he has predicted things in history that have happened. He's really good. Okay. He's one of my favorite guys. And so there he's saying basically that Trump is a good president because he's shifted the direction of

21:37

Yes. Venezuela and Argentina and Chile and all this stuff and the oil, right? But what he's failing to acknowledge there is that Trump is tanking the US economy. Everybody can't afford anything anymore here because of what he's doing in this war in Iran, which affects oil prices. So for everything that guy saying about getting other countries to chip in and contribute their fair share, why why isn't the average American seeing the results of any of that?

22:07

It's coming. They said he's brilliant. When's it coming? It will come. When? He's been president for almost two years. When's it going to come? before the end of his term, I do believe.

22:21

You still holding that hope for that $2,000 check? No, I don't know about that. Right. So, that was a a lie. Okay. I just wanted to tell you that Victor David Hansen, he is a military historian.

22:38

Okay. He's really great. He's a political commentator. Um, he's commentated for New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Washington Times. He knows his stuff, Chad.

22:52

Okay. But what he's saying there, the gist of that entire video was that Trump is good economically for the United States because he's been able to shift these other countries to paying some form of their fair share or getting their oil or whatever. Right.

23:08

Right. If that's the case, if Trump is such an economic genius, why is everybody in America hurting right now? Like I said, give it some time here before

23:18

two years. I don't know. How much time do we have to give it? If you if the economy has been in a downturn for two [ __ ] years, what does the upswing have to look like to compensate for that?

23:30

It's going to be a good one. That's for sure. I sure hope. What gives you that hope? that the war will be over. Both wars. Let's get these wars done.

23:42

Okay. Well, I have four clips now. They're a little bit of a smorgus board. One of them does talk about Trump's economics, but I want to start it with a very short one. This past Sunday, you claimed that you thought people in the military were happy to be fighting this war for Trump, that they're doing it for Trump and for America, and that morale is generally good. And you didn't even believe the stories about people trying to kill themselves on board the USS Abraham Lincoln because the conditions are so bad, right?

24:12

I I didn't say I didn't believe him. I just said I wasn't for sure. Okay. This is a very short clip. We're going to play it through twice so that you can see it accurately. Okay.

24:22

Okay. Here we go. US service members that are stationed in the Persian Goff are literally mocking Donald Trump on the wing of a KC135. As you see here, Operation Epstein Fury, peace deal number 64 incoming. What else do you notice on the wing?

24:38

All right, let's play it again. US service members that are stationed in the Persian golfer literally mocking Donald Trump on the wing of a KC135. As you see here, Operation Epstein Fury, peace deal number 64 incoming. What else do you notice on the wing?

24:54

Okay, so that's a fighter jet on board one of our aircraft carriers that is over there right now. And in the dust on the wings, people service members are writing [ __ ] on it. Operation Epstein Fury, peace deal number 64 incoming, among a bunch of other things. You can go back and pause that and look at what's on it. Do you still think that the service members respect Trump?

25:18

Whoever wrote that does not. It's all over the plane. Whoever wrote that does not, right? So almost everybody on board that ship basically

25:31

there got to be some that do, some that don't. Uhuh. Okay. So you're just writing that one off. It's not penetrating. You're just letting it go over you. Visual evidence of our own US military's hatred of Donald Trump. You're just ignoring

25:49

writings on an airplane. I mean, yeah, I guess. But what else he got? 200 families confronting Navy leadership about the conditions on board the USS Abraham.

26:02

Yes, I have read more about that and that's horrific and terrible. Yes. So, do you think the people I do believe that? I do believe that.

26:09

So, you believe that it's a shambles aboard that ship? Yes, I do. Okay. And so, do you think the people aboard that ship respect Donald Trump?

26:18

No, they probably do not. All right. And so, do you think that's a good commanderin-chief? No, he needs to be respected. They need to respect him. And that's something's got to change there.

26:34

But they shouldn't respect him because he has kept them out there for so long that people are trying to kill themselves to get out of that situation.

26:42

But remember what I said when we spoke last Sunday. The good thing about this is they will be coming home. The other ship's on the way. It said two weeks.

26:50

Yeah. Exactly. So they've been living in hell for months. Two more weeks won't hurt you. It takes that long to get a ship there to him.

26:59

Correct. All right, let's move on. Another uh big thing that you have been saying for the past couple weeks is Todd Blanch aka Tury Blanche

27:10

is going to do the right thing that once installed as the head of the DOJ, he's just going to magically become unccorrupt and do the right thing. Right.

27:22

Right. This is a clip from Liz Oyer. We have watched her a bunch on this on our Wednesday episodes. She was the pardon attorney under Biden. So, she has been part of the DOJ. Here is what she has to say, filling us in on all the things Todd Blanch has promised and said in the past like whatever week it's been since his confirmation. Here we go.

27:43

Hey everybody. Todd Blanch just sat down with Meet the Press for his first interview since his confirmation. And here's what he said. I'm Liz Oyer, the former pardon attorney for the Department of Justice. First, Blanch refused to commit to keeping DOJ independent from the president. When asked if he would pledge that the Justice Department will act independently of the White House, he said, quote, "No, I'm not going to pledge that, and no attorney general should ever pledge that." Second, Blanch confirmed that he will take direction from Donald Trump about which cases to prosecute. When asked if he'll consider the president's opinions on matters like

28:18

reviving the failed reflecting pool prosecution, he said, quote, "Yes, of course." Third, Blanch refused to rule out making payments to January 6 riers using our tax dollars. He said that even though the slush fund is supposedly dead, there are other ways they could be entitled to collect money from our government. Blanch also refused to condemn the president's pardons of the riers who attacked and injured police officers. He said the president is free to pardon whoever he wants and as attorney general he has no problem with that. Fourth, Blanch confirmed that DOJ will continue to meddle in elections even though courts in 22 different

28:55

states have told them to stop. He said, quote, "We're not going to stop doing that." In fact, he said all Americans should be happy about it. There is one thing Blanch did promise. He promised that Donald Trump would never ask him to do anything illegal or unethical. He said, quote, "The president will never ask me to do something unethical or illegal." Here's the bottom line. Blanch is exactly who we thought he was. He is totally beholden to Donald Trump. He has no moral compass and he would not know ethics if they hit him in the face. I'll be keeping a close eye on him and I'll

29:30

keep you posted. Okay. Did you get all that? Why is that just one lady saying that? Why hasn't that been in the news? Why hasn't that been front and center?

29:41

It's all over the news. It's all over the news. That interview that he gave was news. It was on Meet the Press where he's point blank asked um will the DOJ be independent of the president? And he was like, "No, we're going to do whatever Trump says."

29:57

H I didn't see that. That was on Meet the Press. Yeah, I believe so. Right. Was it I think it was Meet the Press. Let me see here. Todd Blanch meet the He also went to a um uh sorry I'm just looking this up. Was he was it Meet the Press? It was some interview. I think it was Meet the Press. Um he also went to a political rally and spoke on behalf of Donald Trump, which the DOJ doesn't do. You're not the the Department of Justice for for what it's worth is supposed to be an independent law enforcement agency who finds their own crimes. I mean, crimes

30:38

get referred to them obviously, but they decide what they're going to prosecute, the severity of the crime, etc., etc., how much resources and time they're going to be putting into it. Todd Blanch said effectively, "I will do whatever Donald Trump says, including reopen prosecution prosecutions against whoever we perceive to be the the people responsible for knifing up the reflecting pool, which now has been debunked."

31:03

Yeah. Including um making sure we get money to the people who beat the [ __ ] out of cops. Why is he doing that?

31:13

Yeah, that's not what I expected. That's for sure. Right. So, I'm using this to illustrate to you that you were lied to by Trump and by Todd Blanch. Me and Haley told you this is exactly what was going to happen. Now, it's exactly what's happening.

31:30

Yeah. I did not think it would be this way. I really didn't. You didn't think it would be this way when Donald Trump installed his personal criminal defense attorney as the head of the DOJ?

31:41

I thought he was going to be temporary. Remember we talked about this, right? But he was just confirmed. That was the whole thing. You were like, "He's going to be temporary." And me and Haley were like, "No, he's not. He's going to try and ram him down our throats." Then they take him to confirmation. And even then, you're like, "Well, I think he'll he'll be good then." You just keep stepping back and back and back. Every time Trump moves the goalpost on you, you move with it.

32:05

This guy was never supposed to be the attorney general. I know. Now that he is, he's saying that office is completely corrupt. He will do whatever the president says. So the president can now use the DOJ to just be like, prosecute that person, prosecute that person, whoever he wants for any [ __ ] reason. And it doesn't matter. The fact that he said he's willing to reopen the prosecutions on the people who vandalize the reflecting pool means he doesn't give a [ __ ] about if there's even a crime to prosecute. He's going to go after whoever Trump wants him to.

32:39

That's ridiculous. Yeah. You can see how that's a problem, right? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Okay. You can Do you see how it's like not just a problem, it is the full erosion of our criminal justice system,

32:53

right? Because that's supposed to be separate. Not only separate, if he's prosecuting people for carving up the reflecting pool, he ain't prosecuting people who are doing real crimes.

33:03

Yeah. Which is Trump. Well, other people. Other people. Let's speaking of our next clip talks about some crimes Trump is doing. Here we go.

33:18

Is it fair to say that you agree that it's wrong for elected officials and their families to profit from positions of power to use government service to make money? Yeah, of course.

33:26

Great. I I appreciate that and I share that sentiment with you, sir. Uh I want to revisit some of the details that were brought up earlier and put into the record about the president's own uh stock transactions uh a form which he filed um that shows he completed more than 3,700 stock transactions in just the first three months of this year alone. The president bought hundreds of thousands of dollars in Palunteer stock shortly before he publicly praised the company on his social media site. as if the name drop enough wasn't enough. As if the name drop itself wasn't enough, he included the company's ticker symbol

33:59

for good measure hardly subtle to me. On March 23rd, after nearly a month of war with Iran, the president said talks were quote very good and productive and extended his deadline for a deal by 5 days. Oil prices dropped and energy stocks fell while Trump bought shares in companies like Exxon Mobile, Chevron, and other firms positioned to benefit if the war continued, which it did at the president's direction. He bought a dip that he created. Then there's Nvidia.

34:26

The president bought as much as a million dollars in stock just one week before the Commerce Department formally approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. One week. He bought up to $5 million more in Nvidia stock in February, right before the company announced a major chip deal with Meta. It's pretty good luck if you ask me. If that's not bad enough, the president's son struck a multi-billion dollar crypto deal with a UAE statebacked firm. After the deal, the administration reversed AI chip restrictions, approving transfers of sensitive technology to another UAE related entity chaired by the very same royal family figure involved with the

35:04

deal with his son. That seems like hardly a coincidence to me. And indeed, it is self-enrichment tied directly to the president's foreign policy agenda. And it's how the president's net worth has grown by over $4 billion since he started this term. As the president gets rich, his wars and tariffs are crushing hardworking American families. And I think the American people see through the BS. This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

35:34

Okay. Did you understand all that? What did Rubio say? I don't know. Not relevant. What do you mean? Yeah, it kind of is. I wanted to know what he was going to say about all that.

35:45

Well, we don't have that in the clip. The the clip is to give you this information, which you seem to always just gloss over and say that Trump is a good businessman.

35:55

He's committing crimes. That's insider trading. And it's not just insider trading. It's he's waging a war with another country specifically to [ __ ] with oil prices so that he can buy the dip and sell high. He's he's getting Americans killed so that he can make more money.

36:15

That's not quite insider trading because in war that does happen downs and ups and ups and downs. It is insider trading because he knows what's going to happen in the war. He's the one who issues the statement that says, "Hey, we'll give him a fiveday reprieve to see if we can get this deal worked out." When he makes that announcement, he knows that's going to send oil prices down,

36:35

right? But it's really not. It kind of is, but kind of isn't. But how is it not? I really would. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. How is it not insider trading?

36:45

Insider trading is buy this stock because I'm going to do this to it to make it go up. He literally that was what that guy was saying. He did it with Palunteer. He said, "Good time to buy Palunteer. Here's their stock ticker symbol so it's easy for you to find and go buy." Right before he announced the deal with them.

37:06

There's all kinds of people though. Uh, I forget that one man's name. It was a strange little man that was always on TV saying, "Buy the stock now. This is the one to get. Buy it now." I mean, anybody like that,

37:18

Mad Money? Are you talking about that guy? Yeah. Yeah. That guy is just an analyst. He's not the president of the United States, who is buying stocks according to deals he's making with other countries. When he buys like Nvidia chip stock, for example, he knew that a deal was days away because he has insider information. because he has to approve the deals.

37:39

So, it's all insider trading. And the fact now that he is launching a service on his social media where you can pay $100,000 a month to get early access to those tweets,

37:52

right? That's not so you can trade the way he's trading. It's it's now not only insider trading, it's he's selling the information to other people so they can insider trade with him.

38:03

Yeah, that is crazy. And like Pelosi too, they, you know, that family did it too, but not like this. No, in in a lower standard. Uh, I mean lower uh money amount. But I want to know what Rubio was going to say about that. I was ready. I was ready to see how he

38:22

I'm sorry that's not part of the clip. How he was going to shoot that down. That's not part of the clip. What I'm trying to

38:28

know. I'm sorry. I don't have that. What I'm trying to get you to understand is Trump is robbing us. That's the whole point.

38:38

That's correct. All of that is bad. It's very bad. So, he has taken $4 billion from us. Right. Do you think that's a good president?

38:49

No. Okay. He's getting richer. We're all getting poorer. Yeah. Correct. And he's doing it on purpose. It's at our expense, right? When he issues these tariffs, it makes everything more expensive for us. He doesn't give a [ __ ] because he knows he's about to issue them, which he knows what that's going to do to various stocks and commodities. So, he buys them or shorts them, makes the announcement, whatever happens to the price of those things happens, and he makes a fuckload of money.

39:20

We get tariffed. We get that extra tax on everything we [ __ ] buy. Yes. Then he passes a [ __ ] bill to give tariff money back to the companies that are charging us more money because of the tariffs.

39:33

I know it's getting hard. It's getting bad. I do know families. It's getting hard. I speak with people. I understand. I get it. I'm just saying this guy that you keep saying is my president is [ __ ] everyone in America for his own gain.

39:51

Yeah. None of that was good. Okay, let's go to one final clip. This just happened a couple of days ago. Trump had a

40:01

I want to say a teenage kid that was like a swimmer or something. I knew you would show this. This was a um um Yeah, a teenage swimmer that saved the life of I think of a 10-year-old child.

40:13

Yeah, I think that's right. And he had them at the White House and then he was Trump was so rude. Yeah, so rude. Well, let's watch the clip. Here we go. This is him screaming at a female reporter.

40:24

Yes. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. You're very disrespectful in front of this young man. Okay. Don't you find her disrespectful? He understands. Quiet. Who are you with?

40:35

I'm with fake news. You're fake news. You're a loud. You're a loud boisterous person. You're fake news. Be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. asked you.

40:47

You're a fake reporter and you report fake news. Shocker. Trump attacking yet another female reporter. It's so obvious that he is clearly intimidated by strong women and he doesn't like when reporters, particularly women, ask him tough questions that he doesn't have a good answer for. During this exchange, he was attacking CNN reporter Kristen Holmes because earlier in the press conference, she had asked him a question that clearly struck a nerve with him. She asked him about Democratic Senator John Oaf's remarks about Trump's close relationship with his aid Natalie Hart.

41:19

She then went on to try to ask him a question about Kim Jong-un. And this is what resulted. He insulted and belittled her. All because it seems like that previous question got under his skin a little bit. And the White House rapid response account even went as far as tweeting this at her. They said that Kristen Holmes is a disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession. And then they said, "Someday your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive.

41:49

It's quite troubling." You know what's disgusting and inhumane? Bringing this reporter's perfectly innocent children into this scenario because guess what? She asked the president point blank about a criticism that came from a Democratic senator. That is a perfectly legitimate question. And this response from them is way more infinitely more callous and vindictive than anything she asked. So to the people running this account and I guess basically anyone who works at the White House, you should be sickened and embarrassed to work for an 80-year-old manchild who resorts to attacking and belittling female reporters when they have the audacity to ask him a question he doesn't like.

42:28

There you go. Why didn't you Sorry. Go ahead. I didn't I didn't see the question the earlier one about that she had asked about um the woman that goes with him the human

42:44

that I think the question that he popped off on was about he basically said that he was going to stop doing military exercises with South Korea because he loves Kim Jong-un so much.

42:55

So he's effectively aligning the United States with North Korea, a first in American history obviously. Um, and I think she asked about that, but it was kind of previewed by a question about John Oaf talking about him flying around with Natalie Hart.

43:10

Yes, that. And that made him mad, right? But then why why would he ask that reporter? Let her do another question. That's kind of weird.

43:20

Let her do He was saying quiet. Oh, he was admonishing her. Quiet. Be quiet. He never does this to a guy. Why do you think that is?

43:33

Because he was after that woman. But he does it to women a lot. Never does it to men. Why do you think that is?

43:42

He's not nice to women. Right. Reporters especially. Right. Or wives. Especially reporters. And he calls them fake news all the time. Yeah. But that doesn't in any way show you like what kind of a guy he is.

44:03

Not very nice to women reporters for sure. And that has no effect on you that he's just a complete misogynist [ __ ]

44:10

No, I don't like it. Okay. So, what do you like about Trump? I hope that he will stop the war. I hope he has

44:23

Okay, hang on. Let's Let's take these one at a time. You hope he'll stop the war. He started the war. I hope this war will get over soon with his ability to communicate and say, "Let's stop this war."

44:37

You're missing a big point here. What? He started the war. It never had to even happen. He started it. The thing that I said, "What do you like about Trump?" You say, "I hope he'll stop the war." He started it.

44:50

Well, if he started it, he can finish it. Fine. But that's what you like about him is that he might stop the war he started.

44:57

I want the war to be done. I want our economy to be better. Okay. Of course we all do. You're you're talking about I I asked you what do you like about Trump so far? You've listed two things you don't like about it.

45:10

Oh gosh. Here we go again. The border is secure. Okay. The border has always been secure. I mean once he said I'm going to secure the border, he did it. He did.

45:19

I have done some research on this. Okay. And and you are correct under Trump um apprehensions and arrests at the border have fallen to alltime lows in the past 10 years. But in the last year of Biden's presidency, that trend started it. Biden recognized a problem, implemented new strategies, and toward the end of his final year, the arrests and uh incidents at the border had already started to dip by a huge margin.

45:52

And so Trump just kind of inherited the dip because he wasn't loading them up on airplanes and flying them into New York into the Roosevelt and stuff like that. I guess if that's what you're talking about. No, I'm talking about the incidents, the arrests and apprehensions at the border. That's the metric by which uh the government basically determines do we have a problem of people coming across the border or not.

46:15

At the end of Biden's term, that number was significantly lower and as Trump took over, it continued to decrease. Then he also implemented some more kind of draconian policies and you're correct. The number of arrests and apprehensions at the southern border has gone down

46:33

for sure. Okay. So you like that. What else? And I did like the beginning of ICE. I thought that was a good thing to get the criminals, to get the drug people,

46:45

to get the very bad people out of the United States and back where they belong. Right. You acknowledge that's not happening though, right?

46:52

Yes. Okay, that's how it was the whole time. It was never in the beginning, we were getting the correct people. I do believe

47:00

that that's wrong. That's what they have been telling you the whole time. Now, the evidence is overwhelming and you can't deny what's actually happening. But in the beginning, it was the same thing. In the they were shooting Renee Good and Alex Prey in the [ __ ] head. They were not only not criminals, they were US citizens. That was the beginning. They were murdering US citizens in the streets.

47:30

ICE has never been doing what they said they're going to do. That has never happened. They in the beginning, I do believe they were on the right track.

47:40

And I'm telling you, they weren't. I'm That's what Trump was saying the whole time. But now there is so much evidence that not even you can deny what ICE is actually doing.

47:49

Yeah. But it was that way the whole time. Me and Haley were trying to tell you this. I believe our economy was okay until this war, until the tariffs, until all of that.

48:01

The tariffs. I think the tariffs happened day one. When did Trump announce his first tariff in I think the war has um January 20th. Um, on January 20th, 2025, immediately upon taking the oath of office for his second term, Donald Trump announced his initial tariff plan. So, it was day one he was putting in tariffs. So, you're saying the economy was good until the tariffs. That was day one.

48:30

Tariffs tariffs have always worked before. No. And it takes time for them to work. That's wrong. And they clearly don't work. We We've been through this. We are being taxed basically with the tariffs and the billionaires who run Apple and Amazon and all that [ __ ] are getting tax breaks because of it. He's making his rich buddies richer, consolidating all the wealth to the top. He himself is among them. Um, so I'm not going to accept that as something that you like, the economy. It's in the [ __ ] toilet.

48:58

You agree with that right now? Yes. But that's part of his tenure. I do like that he is finding um like welfare um the crime that people are doing with welfare and

49:14

that's that's wrong. A big report just came out this week about Doge saying that it was completely failure that they found no waste, no fraud, no abuse. And what they wound up doing is taking money out of um different departments in the government that actually helped people that had public services for them and just sucked it up to the top. Put it in military gave it to Trump in various capacities.

49:38

So the daycarees that were open with no children inside where they wouldn't let people come in, that was just a-ok. Okay. That's a fake story that they told you to make you okay with Doge taking all of our [ __ ] money. I don't think that was a fake story.

49:53

Okay. Um, so again, what do you like about Trump? The main thing was the border, I guess. Okay. Right now, so a thing that didn't affect you anyways, he has effectively closed the border, but that's it. Everything else, ICE, the wars, the tariffs, the how he's treating women,

50:16

everything else you're against. I do believe with the drug cartel he is trying to get those people out of here. No, that's wrong. I We talked about this like two weeks ago. His whole thing about we're going to get all the drugs out of America and we're blowing up these boats has not decreased the amount of drugs coming into America at all. If anything, it has increased them.

50:41

So, he has failed on that. That's what you say. That's not what I say. That's what the government is saying. I guess I better get in the know here.

50:54

I'm I tell you this [ __ ] every week. The information that I give you is researched and you just don't believe me.

51:02

No, I mean I do. All right. So, back to the question. What do you like about Donald Trump so far? One thing? Yes. One thing.

51:13

That's what you're clinging to? That's what still makes him your president. Yes. Is that he closed the border in quotes? Something that he didn't really even do that Biden kind of started doing and he just uh took the baton from him.

51:28

Did you not watch my clip with Victor Hansen? All that stuff he said that Trump has done. And yes, and my counter to that was, who gives a [ __ ] People here can't afford to eat.

51:40

Okay. Oh boy. Oh boy. [laughter] All right. Well, food for thought. You're clinging to one thing now. He closed the border. One thing. He's killing children. He's waging wars. He's completely corrupt insider trading, enriching himself, his friends, his children. He treats women horribly. But he closed the border. All right. Well, thanks for doing this with me, Mom. I love you. Hopefully this Sunday, Dad will be on for one topic.

52:18

We'll see. Um, I'll have to pick a soft one to let him back in. I don't want him to If not this Sunday, it'll be very soon because we've got to get him up in the chair. [laughter] It'll be very soon.

52:29

All right. Well, I look forward to that. Please tell him that I love him. Haley, if you're watching this, I know you're not, but I love you anyways. Good luck on whatever you're doing today at work.

52:39

I love you, Chad. I love you, Haley. I'm sorry they AIed you. And she said something about a t-shirt for necessary conversation. Do you know anything about that?

52:49

No. She's working behind the scenes on us. She's doing stuff we don't even know apparently. Like Trump. Yeah. She's trumping us. And I need to say hi, Jennice. Love you, too. Okay. All right.
