🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE: Haley is not on the show this week due to a medical emergency , but she is okay and recovering ❤️ This week on The Necessary Conversation , we break down another chaotic and disturbing week in American politics — from a mass shooting at Brown University to Trump tweeting false information , a Venezuelan oil tanker seized by U.S. forces , new Epstein photos released , and Kristi Noem caught lying to Congress . 🔫 Mass Shooting at Brown University A mass shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island left 2 people dead and 9 injured . Trump initially tweeted that the suspect was in custody — then reversed himself just 15 minutes later , admitting the suspect was still at large. We discuss: Why did Trump rush out false information? What does this say about leadership during a crisis? Should presidents be live-tweeting active shooter situations? 🛢️ Oil Thieves Trump ordered a dramatic armed helicopter boarding of a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil . Venezuela is calling it international piracy . We ask: Did the U.S. just steal another country’s oil? 📸 Epstein Photos Released House Democrats released new photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate , part of a trove of ~95,000 images subpoenaed by Congress. Photos include Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, Steve Bannon, Alan Dershowitz, and others in social settings with Epstein. We discuss: Did everyone in these photos know what Epstein was doing? 🐕 Kristi Noem Lied During a House Homeland Security hearing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem falsely claimed DHS had never deported U.S. military veterans . She was immediately confronted live with a Purple Heart–decorated Army veteran she deported , then abruptly left the hearing. We ask: Why did Noem lie under oath? 💰 Trump Stealing Taxpayer Money? New reporting shows Donald Trump Jr. is tied to over $700 million in Pentagon contracts through venture capital firms he partners with — awarded under Trump’s administration. We ask: Is this corruption or coincidence? ✈️ Goodbye Tourism Kristi Noem proposed requiring visitors from 42 allied countries to hand over: 5 years of social media history We discuss: Would this kill tourism? Should other countries do this to Americans? Is this mass surveillance dressed up as border security? 📝 Trump’s Enemies List The White House launched a government-run “Media Offenders” list , publicly targeting journalists and outlets Trump doesn’t like — complete with a “Hall of Shame.” We ask: Should the government track journalists? How authoritarian is this? Where does this lead? 🧘 Simmer Down Mid-episode, we slow things down with a lighter question: If you could have had a different career, what would it have been? 📺 Watch the full episode 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms 💬 Drop a comment — which story worried you the most? #Trump #EpsteinFiles #KristiNoem #BrownUniversity #ICE #PressFreedom #Authoritarianism #TheNecessaryConversation #PoliticalPodcast If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week’s episode of The Necessary Conversation is a historic first: all four family members — Bob, Mary Lou, Haley, and Chad — are together in the same room at Bob & Mary Lou’s house. We break down the most disturbing and chaotic week yet in Trump’s second term — including alleged war crimes , another Dozy Don moment, child-sex criminals being pardoned , over 1.17 million layoffs , and corruption spreading through the DOJ, FBI, military, and beyond. ⭐ TOPICS THIS WEEK ⚠️ WAR CRIMES — The Double-Tap Strike Trump Won’t Explain New reporting reveals that the Sept. 2 strike on a Venezuelan boat included a second missile deliberately killing survivors , violating U.S. military law and international law. Anonymous sources say Pete Hegseth ordered “kill everybody.” Even Republicans are quietly asking for an investigation. Congressman Jim Himes called the footage “one of the most troubling things” he’s ever seen. Questions we debate: Is it ever acceptable to kill survivors who pose no threat? Will Hegseth or anyone face consequences? Does the military still answer to the law? 😴 DOZY DON — Trump Falls Asleep Again Trump fell asleep during yet another televised cabinet meeting. His team released a suspicious “summary” of an MRI but not the scan itself. Trump says he doesn’t know what body part was scanned — a claim no one believes. We discuss: Is Trump physically fit for office? Why won’t he release actual medical records? Is this any different from what Republicans attacked Biden for? 🟦 SIMMER DOWN (Mid-Episode): Family Jingle Bells Sing-Along Yes. We actually sing Jingle Bells together in the middle of the episode. It is chaotic. It is festive. It is us. 🛑 TRUMP’S PARDONS — Another Child Predator Freed 44-year-old pardoned Jan 6er Andrew Paul Johnson has been arrested for horrifying child-sex crimes. He reportedly used his Trump pardon to groom a minor. He’s not alone: at least a dozen Trump-pardoned insurrectionists have since been arrested for violent or sexual crimes. We ask Mom directly: Are these the “heroes” she’s been defending? Why is Trump pardoning violent criminals and child predators? 📉 MASSIVE LAYOFFS — Worst Job Losses Since 2020 A new report shows 1.17 million layoffs in 2025 , a 54% increase over 2024. Economists blame Trump’s tariffs and economic mismanagement. We discuss: Why isn’t Trump addressing the layoffs? Is this “America First” or economic sabotage? 🚨 MY OWN PRIVATE FBI — Kash Patel Misuses Federal Agents New reporting shows FBI Director Kash Patel ordered agents to escort his girlfriend’s drunk friend home — and used government jets for personal travel. We ask: Is the FBI now just Kash Patel’s personal concierge service? Why is Trump tolerating this corruption? ⚖️ LETITIA JAMES & COMEY — Trump’s DOJ Loses Again Federal grand juries rejected the political prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James , leaving Trump with zero wins in his revenge-prosecution spree. We discuss: ❤️ THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE SHOW If you enjoy the show, hit LIKE , SUBSCRIBE , and leave a comment answering: 👉 Is Trump fit to serve? Should war crime investigations begin?

This week Bob is absent in protest of Chad's joke made on last week's live. Nonetheless, Haley, Chad and Mary Lou cover the top stories of the week and Mary Lou's mind might be changing. We discuss: 🔫 NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS AMBUSHED NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE Two West Virginia National Guard members, Sarah Beckstrom (killed) and Andrew Wolfe (critical condition), were ambushed right outside the White House. The suspect? Rahmanullah Lakanwal , an Afghan evacuee vetted and granted asylum by the Trump administration . Now Trump has: Paused all asylum decisions nationwide Suspended visas for Afghans Ordered 500 more troops into D.C. We ask: ➡️ Who is actually to blame? ➡️ Why did Lakanwal cross the country to do this? ➡️ Is flooding D.C. with troops actually helping anything? 💊 TRUMP TO PARDON HONDURAN DRUG KINGPIN Trump announced a “full and complete pardon” for Juan Orlando Hernández , the former president of Honduras — and a convicted narcotrafficker who helped pump tons of cocaine into the U.S. At the same time, Trump is literally firing missiles at alleged “drug boats” with no proof. Trump says Hernández was “treated unfairly”… right before Honduras’s election, where Trump is backing Hernández’s party. We discuss: ➡️ Why pardon a druglord but bomb random boats? ➡️ Does Trump actually care about drugs in the U.S.? ➡️ Is this foreign election interference? 📉 TRUMP CANCELS THE GDP, JOBS & INFLATION REPORTS In an unprecedented move, Trump canceled : The Q3 GDP report The Q3 jobs report The October inflation report Other key economic indicators For the first time in U.S. history , Americans have no unemployment rate, no growth numbers, no inflation data — nothing. We ask: ➡️ Why hide all economic reports at once? ➡️ Wouldn’t he release them if they looked good? ➡️ Can ANY future economic data be trusted? 🔥 SIMMER DOWN: Describe God. (Yes… it goes exactly where you think it does.) 🇵🇸 TRUMP’S CEASEFIRE BACKFIRES — ISRAEL KILLS MORE CIVILIANS Since Trump bragged about ending the war, Israel has reportedly violated the ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days , killing hundreds more Palestinians — including 78 people this week alone , mostly women and children. We discuss: ➡️ Did Trump’s deal accomplish anything? ➡️ Why is Israel still bombing? ➡️ Is Trump lying about “ending the war”? 🤖 FOREIGN MAGA TROLL FARMS EXPOSED — MUSK PANICS Elon Musk rolled out a new “About This Account” feature showing where accounts are based. Within hours, users discovered: Many top MAGA accounts were operating from India, Nigeria, Eastern Europe, and Thailand Some of these accounts were frequently reposted by Trump Within 24 hours, Musk removed the feature We ask: ➡️ Who runs these foreign accounts? ➡️ Why was Trump amplifying them? ➡️ Should Americans care where political content comes from? 🔔 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & COMMENT: What shocked you most this week — the ambush, the pardon, the hidden economic reports, or the foreign troll farms?

This week on The Necessary Conversation w e break down everything: Trump suddenly loving Zohran Mamdani, MTG quitting Congress in a meltdown, Democrats warning the military about unlawful orders, Trump calling for their execution, his spiritual advisor pleading guilty to child sex crimes and much much more. 🏛️ Trump Suddenly Loves Zohran Mamdani After calling Mamdani: “A communist lunatic” “A Jew-hater” “Stupid” “Terrible-looking” Trump met with him… and completely flipped. Now Trump says: “I’ll stick up for you.” “I’m cheering for him.” “I’d be happy living in NYC under him.” What happened in that private meeting? Is Trump now pro-Mamdani? Does this break the GOP’s anti-Mamdani strategy? 🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene QUITS Congress After turning on Trump over the Epstein files, MTG resigned in a wild video blaming Trump for treating her like “a battered wife.” Trump mocked her, called her “low-polling,” and said she “went bad.” We discuss: Is this the beginning of a Republican civil war? Who is more MAGA — MTG or Trump? Will she run for governor of Georgia? ⚠️ TREASON? Trump Calls for Executing Democrats Six Democratic lawmakers — many with military/intelligence backgrounds — released a video reminding service members they must refuse illegal orders . Trump responded by demanding: They be arrested Tried for sedition Executed We break down: Should a president EVER call for the execution of political opponents? Why did Democrats feel the need to make this video now? Is this the impeachment moment? ⛪ ICE Raids Churches in North Carolina ICE launched new raids in Charlotte — including detaining people outside churches and causing congregants to flee into the woods. We ask: Should ICE be allowed to target places of worship? Is this still “going after the criminals”? ✨ Simmer Down And we pause for a philosophical Simmer Down asking: What lesson do you think you were meant to learn in this lifetime?

This week on The Necessary Conversation , Haley is back from vacation , Bob chickened out , and things get heated fast as we dive into the most explosive week of Trump’s second term yet — from the release of the Epstein emails to Ghislaine Maxwell’s special treatment to Democrats folding under Republican pressure. 📧 The Epstein Emails Over 20,000 subpoenaed Epstein estate documents were released by House Democrats this week — and they raise serious questions about Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Emails show Epstein discussing Trump’s knowledge of the girls , bragging that “of course he knew,” and even referencing Virginia Giuffre spending hours at his house with Trump. Epstein also emailed about photos of “Donald and girls in bikinis” and told a reporter he was the one who could “take Trump down.” Days later, he was found dead. 💬 Did Trump have Epstein killed? 💬 Why is Trump calling this a “Democrat hoax” while ordering Pam Bondi to investigate Democrats tied to Epstein? 👑 Ghislaine Maxwell’s VIP Prison Life Whistleblowers reveal Ghislaine Maxwell — convicted child sex trafficker — is receiving luxury treatment in prison after giving an interview defending Trump. She’s reportedly being served custom meals, has a dog in her cell , and is working on a commutation application for Trump to review. 💬 Why is a convicted child trafficker getting special treatment? 💬 Will Trump actually pardon her? 💸 Democrats Fold After weeks of a crippling shutdown, Democrats caved to Republican demands — voting to reopen the government without ACA protections , meaning skyrocketing healthcare prices for millions. Eight Senate Democrats sided with Trump. 💬 Should Schumer be replaced? 💬 Did the Democrats just hand Trump another win? 🕌 Jihadis Welcomed Trump celebrated Veterans Day by hosting a former al-Qaeda leader at the White House. Ahmed al-Sharaa — once on America’s terrorist list — met with Trump to discuss lifting sanctions and real estate deals in Syria. 💬 Should a U.S. President host former terrorists at the White House? 💬 Is Trump trading diplomacy for business deals? 🏈 Booed at the NFL Trump was booed by thousands at an NFL game after reading “ then state your name ” as part of his oath. He literally read it out loud instead of saying his name. 💬 Why do so many Americans hate this man? 💬 Was he trolling — or just confused? 🌙 Simmer Down And we discuss our most recent dreams. Chad has been using his dreams for something very interesting. 📅 New episodes every Sunday 🎧 Watch on YouTube | Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts 💬 Comment what you think of the Epstein emails — and whether Trump’s involved. #TrumpEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #EpsteinEmails #DemocratsCave #MAGA #TheNecessaryConversation #TrumpWhiteHouse #HaleyKultgen #PoliticalPodcast If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week on The Necessary Conversation , Haley abandons her family as the electorate sent Donald Trump a message louder than any poll: America is tired of MAGA. In one of the biggest Democratic sweeps in modern history, voters across the nation delivered a crushing rebuke to Trump’s authoritarian movement. And while Haley is away on vacation this week, the rest of us break down everything happening in this wild political moment — from Trump falling asleep on camera again to Steve Bannon openly admitting Republicans need to seize the government to avoid prison. 🌊 THE BLUE WAVE IS REAL Democrats won every major race this week — and by landslide margins: ✅ Virginia: Abigail Spanberger wins governorship by 14–15 points ✅ Democrats sweep Lt. Gov & AG races ✅ Democrats expand their House majority ✅ New Jersey: Mikie Sherrill wins by 13 points ✅ New York City: Zohran Mamdani crushes Cuomo + Sliwa combined ✅ California Prop 50: 10 million people vote — and Newsom wins big to redraw districts Trump blamed the losses on “not being on the ballot” and the shutdown. 💬 Are voters rejecting Trump’s leadership? 💬 What happens next in NYC under Mamdani? 💬 Can Republicans recover? 😴 SLEEPY DON STRIKES AGAIN Trump literally fell asleep during a live Oval Office press conference about weight-loss drugs — head drooping, eyes closed, drifting off for almost 20 minutes while Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. talked. This adds to a long list of public nod-offs: – At his criminal trial ✅ – At the GOP convention ✅ – In Saudi Arabia ✅ 💬 Is Trump just as “sleepy” as Biden? 💬 Should his age and stamina be a concern? 🔥 BANNON SAYS THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD At a conservative event, Steve Bannon openly said Republicans must “seize the institutions” or many of them will “go to jail.” He literally told the crowd the authoritarian part out loud. 💬 Why does he think he’ll go to jail? 💬 What “structural barriers” does he want to “put aside”? 💬 Is protecting democracy even part of the plan anymore? 🥫 SNAP NIGHTMARE: 42 MILLION AMERICANS IN LIMBO Two federal judges ordered Trump to restore SNAP (food stamp) benefits during the shutdown — but Trump appealed to the Supreme Court to block it. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily sided with Trump. 💬 Why is Trump fighting so hard to keep Americans from getting food? 💬 Do you still like Ketanji Brown Jackson? ✈️ GROUNDED: AMERICA’S AIR TRAVEL COLLAPSES Day 38 of the longest shutdown in history is wrecking air travel: – 700–800 flights canceled in a single day – 2,300+ delayed – FAA reducing schedules at 40 major airports – Airlines losing millions and hinting at bailouts 💬 Is this “making America great again”? 💬 Will holiday travel collapse?

This week on The Necessary Conversation , we're in full Halloween costumes but the news coming out of America is scarier than anything we could wear. From starving families to ICE violence to wild JD Vance & Erika Kirk rumors , this is truly one of the most insane weeks yet under Trump’s second term. 🍽 42 Million Americans Lose Food Aid The GOP-led shutdown has cut off SNAP benefits , leaving 1 in 8 Americans — including millions of children — without money for food.

Meanwhile, Trump is throwing parties and selling merch. 💬 Should the U.S. government be responsible for feeding its people? 💬 Do MAGA voters care about starving Americans? 🪖 “More Than the National Guard” Speaking aboard the USS George Washington, Trump vowed to send military force into American cities , saying he'll deploy more than the National Guard if needed. 💬 Are we becoming numb to soldiers in our streets? 💬 What kind of countries use their military on their own citizens? 💋 JD Vance & Erika Kirk Rumors Explode After Erika Kirk introduced JD Vance with a very emotional tribute to her late husband Charlie Kirk — and a suspiciously affectionate hug — the internet is spiraling. Is JD Vance positioning himself for 2028 by… marrying Charlie Kirk’s widow? 👀 💬 Is this real or just right-wing palace drama? 🚨 ICE Brutality Goes Viral A horrifying viral video shows ICE agents violently slamming a mother to the ground in front of her teenage daughter — even after she showed legal paperwork and ID . 💬 Is this protecting America — or terrorizing innocent families? 💬 Did ICE’s practice of hiring recruits with criminal records lead to this? 🎤 PLUS: Simmer Down Chad writes a letter to Mary Lou about how their parenting and has her read it. 📅 Weekly episodes — Sundays 👨‍👩‍👧 The Kultgen Family Podcast ❤️ Like, Subscribe, and Comment #MAGA #GovernmentShutdown #SNAP #ICE #JDVance #ErikaKirk #StarvingAmericans #TheNecessaryConversation #HalloweenEpisode If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week on The Necessary Conversation , we start by asking the question: What is MAGA? From there, the conversation spirals through one of the wildest weeks yet — as Trump literally tears down part of the White House, pardons criminals tied to terrorism and child exploitation, and demands hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for himself. 🏛 Goodbye, White House Trump has demolished the East Wing to build a 90,000-square-foot, $300 million private ballroom , funded by Big Tech donors like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta. 💬 Should the President be allowed to destroy a piece of American history? 💬 Is this corruption in plain sight? 🧾 Pardon Disaster Trump’s new pardons spark outrage: A Jan 6 rioter who threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries Binance founder Changpeng Zhao , whose crypto platform facilitated money for terrorism and child exploitation 💬 Why would Trump pardon them both? 💬 Is loyalty more important than morality? 🗳 Adelita Grijalva Lawsuit Arizona AG Kris Mayes sues Speaker Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva , who won her special election a month ago. 💬 Is this about politics — or silencing a vote that could release the Epstein files ? ❤️ Simmer Down We take a break from politics to get personal with the question: 💬 If you could change one thing about how you raised us — what would it be? ⚓ Venezuela Escalation Trump orders his 10th lethal strike on Venezuelan boats accused of trafficking drugs — without proof. Legal experts warn he’s skirting Congress and invoking the laws of war to expand his powers. 💬 Is he provoking Venezuela to cancel the 2028 election? 💬 Should presidents be allowed to order killings without oversight? 💰 Trump Wants $230 Million Trump files claims demanding the DOJ pay him $230 million in damages for “violations of his rights.” He says he’ll donate the money — but it’s the same amount his new ballroom costs. 💬 Should a sitting president be allowed to pay himself with taxpayer money? 🚨 ICE Criminals A new report shows ICE hired recruits with failed drug tests and criminal records to meet White House quotas. 💬 Can a law-enforcement agency still have integrity if it hires criminals? 📅 New full episodes every Sunday 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 📱 Follow @thenecessaryconversationpod for daily clips If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

Bob is back! After missing last week’s episode, he returns just in time for one of the most chaotic weeks in Trump’s America — and things get heated fast. 😇 “I Won’t Get Into Heaven” — Trump Says It Out Loud We open this week with Trump claiming he “might not get into heaven.” 💬 Was it a joke — or the truth slipping out? 💬 Do you think Trump is going to heaven? ✊ No Kings Protest — 7 Million Americans Take to the Streets The largest protest in U.S. history — over 7 million people in 2,600 cities — peacefully rallied against Trump’s authoritarian rule. Republicans tried to rebrand it as the “Hate America Rally,” while Trump responded by posting AI-generated videos of himself as a king dropping feces on protestors . 💬 Do you think these protestors hate America? 💬 Were all 7 million of them Antifa? 💬 Did Trump prove the protesters’ point by posting AI propaganda? 📰 Free Press Walks Out At the Pentagon, ex-Fox host Pete Hegseth tried to force journalists to publish only government-approved stories. Every major outlet — even Fox News and Newsmax — refused and walked out. Only OANN agreed. 💬 Do you think Trump should control the press? 💬 Did Fox finally take a stand? 💵 George Santos Gets a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card Trump commuted George Santos’s 7-year prison sentence after just 3 months, calling him a man of “Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence.” 💬 Why do you think Trump freed him? 💬 Is there anyone Trump could pardon that would change your mind? ☠️ The Republican Nazi Party Leaked 2,900 pages of Telegram messages show state-level Young Republicans joking about gas chambers, praising Hitler, and using slurs. VP J.D. Vance defended them, saying “it’s just what kids do.” 💬 Do you think neo-Nazis are part of the Republican base? 💬 Is this just “kids being kids”? 🗣 Democrats = Hamas? White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Democrats are made up of “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.” 💬 Do you agree with her? ❤️ Simmer Down: Bob is asked to remember what it felt like when he first held Haley and Chad as babies. 📅 New full episodes every Sunday 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & everywhere you get your shows 📱 Follow @thenecessaryconversationpod for daily clips If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week on The Necessary Conversation , it’s just Chad, Haley and Mary Lou. Bob's resting. But we break down another wild week in America under Trump’s second term. 🏛 Shutdown Day 12 The U.S. government shutdown hits day 12 with nearly 1.6 million federal workers either furloughed or working without pay. Trump is using the shutdown to push through Project 2025 , firing thousands of government employees and dismantling departments like the CDC , Department of Education , and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency . 💬 Should government workers be forced to work without pay? 💬 Should 21 million Americans really see their healthcare costs triple? 💬 Why is Trump selling $500 watches during a shutdown? 🏙 Chicago Under Siege Trump launches “Operation Midway Blitz,” sending ICE and 500 National Guard troops into Chicago without state approval. Residents describe raids involving Blackhawk helicopters , flashbangs , and naked children dragged into the street. 💬 Should ICE be allowed to detain U.S. citizens without warrants? 💬 How far will this go before people fight back? 💬 Is Trump trying to start a civil war? 💸 America Last Pete Hegseth announces Qatar will build a military base inside Idaho —after Qatar gifted Trump a $400 million luxury jet . MAGA loyalists are furious, calling it a betrayal of “America First.” 💬 Is Trump selling out to foreign interests? 💬 How can a president accept luxury gifts and still claim patriotism? 🕊 The Gaza Deal Trump’s new Gaza peace plan exchanges 20 Israeli hostages for 1,950 Palestinian prisoners , but violations began almost immediately. 💬 Will Trump’s “Board of Peace” plan actually end the conflict? 💬 Or is this just another branding opportunity—“Trump Tower Gaza”? of their lives. 📅 New full episodes every Sunday 📱 Follow @thenecessaryconversationpod on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube Shorts 🎧 Available everywhere podcasts are found If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week’s episode of The Necessary Conversation gets heated after a brutal argument about Trump’s government shutdown and ICE’s military-style raids. 🏛 Shutdown Showdown It’s Day 5 of the government shutdown and Trump is blaming Democrats — even hijacking federal worker emails to say so. We break down who’s really at fault, what Project 2025 has to do with it, and how Russ Vought’s meeting with Trump could reshape America’s social safety net. 💬 Should every American have access to healthcare? 💬 Are Republicans using the shutdown to consolidate power? 🎖 Hegseth’s Quantico Speech Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth scolded America’s top generals for being “fat” and “woke,” while threatening demotions and suggesting U.S. cities be used as military training grounds. The silence in the room said it all. 💬 Is this patriotism — or authoritarian theater? 🧊 The American Gestapo ICE raids in Chicago looked more like a military invasion — helicopters, flashbangs, and naked children zip-tied in the street. 💬 Is this still America? 💬 Should ICE have the right to detain citizens without warrants? 💰 $20 Billion for Argentina Trump’s plan to buy Argentine bonds rewards a foreign Trump ally while hurting U.S. farmers. 💬 Where’s the “America First” promise now? 🪖 Troops in Portland Trump moves to deploy troops to Portland; a judge blocks him (for now). 💬 Is this the start of nationwide militarization? ⛪ The Pope vs Trump The Pope calls climate change “the moral issue of our time” and slams Trump’s policies toward migrants and war. 💬 Who do you agree with — the Pope or Trump? 📺 PLUS: Haley and Chad try to hold it together as Bob storms off mid-episode after losing it over Trump’s leadership.

This week on The Necessary Conversation we dive into one of the wildest news cycles yet: ⚖️ Comey Indictment For the first time in U.S. history, a former FBI director has been indicted. James Comey faces two counts tied to his 2020 Senate testimony. Trump is celebrating the charges, calling Comey “a dirty cop” and “one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to.” We break down what’s actually in the two-page indictment, whether it will hold up in court, and who Trump might be coming for next. 🎖️ Hegseth’s Military Meeting Trump’s Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered nearly every U.S. general and admiral to a mass meeting at Quantico. Is this a loyalty test? A military purge? Or the beginning of something bigger? We compare the move to Hitler’s 1934 loyalty oaths. 🌍 Trump at the UN Trump’s speech at the UN turned into a spectacle: an escalator mishap, a broken teleprompter, and claims of “triple sabotage.” Was this incompetence or conspiracy? And what did the world think when he went off script with a rambling tirade against Europe, green energy, and the UN itself? 💊 Trump vs. Tylenol Backed by RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz, Trump told Americans—especially pregnant women—“Don’t take Tylenol,” repeating it over a dozen times. The FDA responded, clarifying there’s no proven causal link between acetaminophen and autism, while also warning that untreated fevers can cause serious risks during pregnancy. Tylenol’s parent company saw a stock dip, and the medical community is furious. 🔔 Subscribe for new full episodes every Sunday and daily clips throughout the week. 📺 Watch on YouTube | 🎧 Listen everywhere podcasts are found. 👉 What do you think—will Comey’s indictment stick? 👉 Should presidents be making medical claims like this? 👉 Was Trump sabotaged at the UN—or just exposed?

Sep 21

This week on The Necessary Conversation , Chad and Haley dive into a whirlwind of political chaos, corruption, and controversy with Mary Lou while Bob sleeps through most of the episode. Topics discussed: Jimmy Kimmel Suspended: After Trump threatened ABC and FCC Chair Brendan Carr piled on, Kimmel was yanked off the air indefinitely. We break down the timeline, the First Amendment questions, and why Fox News hosts like Brian Kilmeade still get airtime even after calling for violence. Tom Homan’s $50K Bribe: Trump’s “border czar” was caught on hidden camera accepting cash from undercover FBI agents—yet Trump’s DOJ buried the case. Mississippi Hangings: Two men—Trey Reed, a Black student at Delta State, and Cory Zukatis, a homeless white man—were found hanging from trees. Conflicting reports and FBI inaction raise troubling questions. Charlie Kirk Assassination Texts: New transcripts of suspect Tyler Robinson’s alleged confession look more like bad movie dialogue than real evidence. Even Steve Bannon isn’t buying it. DOJ Deletes Terror Report: A study showing far-right extremists commit far more violence than the left suddenly vanished from DOJ’s website. We ask: why now? Trump Quotes of the Week: From admitting “smart people don’t like me” to labeling Antifa a “major terrorist organization,” Trump keeps pushing the limits of free speech and democracy. 💬 Do you think Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension is a First Amendment violation? 💬 Are the Charlie Kirk texts real or staged? 💬 Should the DOJ be allowed to bury inconvenient data? 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop your thoughts in the comments.

This week’s episode of The Necessary Conversation dives into one of the most chaotic weeks in American politics yet. 👉 Topics We Cover: Charlie Kirk Assassinated Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. We break down what happened, the shooter’s identity, Trump’s reaction, and how white supremacist groups are already trying to weaponize his death. We also compare it to other recent political assassinations, like the killing of Rep. Melissa Hortman, and debate whether video games, the internet, or guns themselves are to blame. Trump’s Health in Question At the 9/11 commemoration, Trump appeared with a droop on one side of his face — fueling speculation about a stroke. Combined with bruised hands and swollen ankles, questions about his fitness are louder than ever. Should the White House tell the truth if the President has a stroke? Would you still support him if his health collapses? Epstein Files Blocked Senate Republicans voted against releasing the Epstein files , with only Rand Paul and Josh Hawley siding with Democrats. Meanwhile, Trump now calls the files a “hoax” despite his own name appearing in Epstein’s infamous birthday book. We ask: Why are Republicans hiding this? Do you believe Trump’s denial? ICE Raids Return The Supreme Court voted 6–3 to let ICE resume “roving raids” where people can be detained based on race, language, or occupation. Civil rights groups call it racial profiling; Trump calls it law and order. We debate: should ICE really have the power to grab people off the street? 🕊 Simmer Down After all that intensity, we take a lighter turn: what’s the craziest, most impulsive thing you’ve ever done? ✨ Drop your thoughts in the comments: Was Charlie Kirk a martyr? Is Trump too sick to lead? Should the Epstein files be public?

This week’s episode of The Necessary Conversation is a little different. With our parents absent — after the loss of their beloved dog, Kitty Kat Sugar Bear, and Dad recovering from a fall — it’s just Chad and Haley behind the mics. We take this moment to reflect on what 3 years of doing this show has meant for us, our family, and our listeners. From fiery debates to unexpected breakthroughs, the journey has been as messy as it has been meaningful. 💬 Topics We Cover: The Show How 3 years of weekly arguments have changed us What friends, coworkers, and family think about the podcast Are we still glad we’re doing it? Family Dynamics Rising tensions, especially with Dad Do Mom and Dad actually believe the extreme things they say on air? Can the show change their views? Worries about Dad’s health — and the possibility of him moving in with Haley Talking to our kids about politics & Trump’s America Politics Are there any “good” billionaires? Is America already authoritarian? Can Democrats turn things around — or have Republicans already won? What does a post-Trump America look like? Will Trump supporters ever change their minds? It’s an unfiltered, intimate conversation — just the siblings this time — as we look back, look forward, and ask: Has this podcast made any difference at all? 👉 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do you think debates like this can actually change minds? 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for new episodes every Sunday + daily clips.

This week on The Necessary Conversation we cover one of the heaviest news weeks yet. 👉 Here’s what we dive into: 🏫 School Shooting in Minneapolis A tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School left 2 children dead and 17 others injured. We discuss the shooter’s identity, manifesto, and why gun violence has now become the #1 cause of death for kids in America . ⛳️ Trump Rumors & Golfing Again Trump vanished from public view for 4 days, sparking #trumpdead trends online. JD Vance even said he was “ready to step in” if tragedy struck. But Trump reappeared—on the golf course, again. We unpack the health rumors, bruised hands, and succession talk. 🇺🇸 Burning the Flag Trump signed an executive order criminalizing flag burning, despite Supreme Court precedent. An Army vet was arrested protesting in DC. Free speech or disrespect? 📰 Israel Kills Journalists Israel’s double-strike tactic at Nasser Hospital killed at least 20 people, including 5 journalists and medical staff . We discuss whether this marks a turning point in calling the Gaza war a genocide. 🧪 CDC in Crisis Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez less than a month after appointing her. Top officials resigned, dozens of employees walked out, and RFK Jr. is reshaping vaccine policy with skeptics on advisory boards. Is the CDC being dismantled from within? 📦 No More Mail Trump axed the “de minimis” exemption, forcing tariffs on low-value imports. Now over 25 countries—including the UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia—are suspending shipments to the U.S. What does this mean for consumers? 🐾 Simmer Down Not everything’s heavy—this week, we lighten up with Taylor & Travis. 💬 Join the debate: Should flag burning be illegal? Is Trump’s health failing? Why is America leading the world in school shootings? And would you give up your guns if it ended school shootings forever? 📌 Subscribe for new episodes every Sunday 📲 Daily clips on TikTok, Instagram & YouTube Shorts 🔔 Hit the bell & join the conversation!

This week on The Necessary Conversation: 🗳 Texas vs. California Texas Republicans delayed flood relief to ram through a redistricting bill flipping up to 5 House seats. Gavin Newsom fired back with the Election Rigging Response Act . Is this tit-for-tat how democracy is supposed to work? 📺 Newsmax Lied After years of pushing election conspiracies, Newsmax will pay Dominion $67 million in a defamation settlement. First Fox, now this. Is conservative media finally paying for the Big Lie? 📬 No More Mail-In Ballots Trump vowed to end mail-in voting before the 2026 midterms — citing Putin of all people as backup. He claimed the U.S. is the only country using them (false: at least 34 do, including Russia). With 99 million ballots mailed in 2024, does ending them destroy fair elections? 👼 Will Trump Go to Heaven? Trump told Fox & Friends : “I want to try to get to heaven, if possible. I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.” Does divine judgment care about Stormy Daniels or separating families? 🖥 Welcome to Communist America? The Trump admin just bought 10% of Intel — $8.9B worth. The U.S. government is now its biggest shareholder. Is this strategy, socialism, or self-enrichment? 📱 The White House on TikTok Trump once pushed to ban TikTok — but now the White House has an official account posting pro-Trump propaganda. Mixed messaging or smart youth outreach? 🐾 Simmer Down Not everything is fire and brimstone — this week we celebrate Kitty Kat Sugar Bear’s 14th birthday. 🎂🐶 💬 Join the debate: Should states redraw maps mid-decade?

This week on The Necessary Conversation , the Kultgen family breaks down a wild stretch of politics at home and abroad—while celebrating three years of arguing, laughing, and surviving together. 🇷🇺 Trump & Putin: Red Carpet in Alaska Donald Trump rolled out literal red carpet treatment for Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. The pageantry included flyovers, limo rides, and fawning photo ops—but no ceasefire deal for Ukraine. We discuss the ICC arrest warrant for Putin, the abduction of nearly 19,000 Ukrainian children, and whether Trump’s “end the war in 24 hours” promise is officially broken. 🪖 Martial Law in D.C. For the first time ever, Trump invoked Section 740 of the Home Rule Act to seize control of the D.C. police and deploy 800 National Guard troops. He claims crime is “out of control,” even as statistics show violent crime at a 30-year low. He also hinted at federal takeovers in Chicago, LA, NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland. Is this democracy—or something closer to authoritarian control? 💰 Trump’s Billions The New Yorker reports Trump has profited $3.4 billion during his presidencies, with the bulk coming from crypto schemes, Mar-a-Lago, PAC money, and merchandising. We break down the biggest numbers and ask whether any president should be allowed to profit like this. 🚨 Criminalizing Homelessness Trump signed executive directives turning homelessness itself into a crime, clearing 70+ encampments in D.C. under a “no-tolerance” policy. We ask whether arrests solve anything—or simply punish the vulnerable. 📉 Inflation, Jobs & Trump’s Numbers Game With inflation spiking and jobs growth lagging, Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and installed a loyalist. We dig into whether future “official numbers” will be fact or fiction. 🌉 Gavin Newsom Trolls Trump California Governor Gavin Newsom clapped back at Trump with parody “all caps” tweets and unveiled a plan to redraw districts that could flip five House seats. Is this trolling—or a serious counterstrike? 🔑 Episode Highlights Trump & Putin’s red carpet meeting (and war crimes) Trump’s martial law move in D.C. The New Yorker exposé on Trump’s billions Criminalizing homelessness in America Inflation spike & Trump’s BLS purge Gavin Newsom vs. Trump: Troll War 👉 What do YOU think: Is Trump protecting America—or himself? 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments and join the debate. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #Newsom #PoliticsPodcast #TheNecessaryConversation If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week on The Necessary Conversation , Chad and Haley face off with Mary Lou (Bob’s still out recovering from hip surgery!) in another fiery family debate that mixes breaking headlines with our signature cross-generational, cross-political banter. Topics include: Trump–Putin Alaska Summit: Why Zelenskyy’s not invited, the $300B deal on the table, and what happens if Ukraine refuses to sign. Texas Democrats Skip Town: The mass walkout to block GOP redistricting, Abbott’s legal threats, and whether blue states will retaliate. Trump Burger Owner Deported: Roland Mehrez Beainy’s immigration scandal—and what it says about loyalty in MAGA world. Trump on the Roof: The bizarre “nuclear missiles” moment and whether this is presidential behavior or something else entirely. Gaza Crisis Escalates: Israel moves to take Gaza City despite international backlash—what consequences, if any, Netanyahu might face. White House Goes Full Mar-a-Lago: Trump’s Rose Garden demolition, fake gold overload, and a $200M donor-funded ballroom while Americans struggle to put food on the table. Simmer Down: If you could bring back one pet from the dead—who would it be, and why? 🔥 Politics, absurdity, and family dynamics collide in every episode—whether you’re red, blue, or somewhere in between. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #Texas #Redistricting #WhiteHouse #Politics #FamilyPodcast #FOOLSGOLD If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

This week on The Necessary Conversation , it’s just Mary Lou and Chad behind the mic—no Bob, no Haley—as we mark (almost!) three years of raw, honest political dialogue. We reflect on the very first episode of the show from August 17, 2022 and ask: has this podcast changed us? Has it brought us closer—or just made things even weirder? 📼 Then we dive into the biggest headlines of the week: Trump’s Name Redacted from the Epstein Files? Bloomberg reports the FBI removed Trump’s name from public Epstein docs before FOIA release. As pressure mounts, Trump flees to Scotland and threatens to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell , who was just moved to minimum-security prison after cooperating with his DOJ. Lawrence Taylor on Trump’s Fitness Council?! Trump revives the Presidential Fitness Test , tapping athletes like Bryson DeChambeau—and shockingly, registered sex offender Lawrence Taylor . Is this who we want shaping the future of kids’ health? Starvation in Gaza A UN-backed report shows Gaza has reached famine conditions . Over 120 dead from starvation, including 83 children. Israel allows only a fraction of the aid trucks needed. And over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while trying to get food. We ask: Is this intentional? Smithsonian Erases Trump from History The National Museum of American History just removed Trump’s name from the presidential impeachment exhibit. Coincidence—or presidential pressure? Ghislaine Maxwell’s Quiet Upgrade Now at a minimum-security dorm-style prison , Maxwell is reportedly cooperating for a pardon. Her survivors—including Virginia Giuffre —are furious. 🟢 Subscribe, share, and drop a comment—do YOU think Trump’s name is in the Epstein files? #TheNecessaryConversation #EpsteinList #TrumpNews #Gaza #GhislaineMaxwell #PresidentialFitness #PoliticsPodcast #Trump2025 #PodcastClips If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

Bob is out of commission after a successful hip replacement surgery this week as Mary Lou, Chad and Haley discuss this week in American politics. 🔥 First up — Trump is freaking out over reports that his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files. After The Wall Street Journal broke the story, he allegedly told aides, “They’re going to f--- me,” fled to Scotland, and is now considering a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Even Epstein’s brother came forward to say Trump and Epstein were “very close friends.” Is Trump’s biggest scandal finally catching up with him? 🚓 ICE detains an Iranian dad outside his kid’s school in Oregon while the child waits in the car — despite the father being legally married to a U.S. citizen and having pending green card approval. Why are we doing this? 📺 South Park ’s brutal season premiere features a naked, AI-rendered Trump seducing Satan. Yes, really. The episode torches Trump’s lawsuits, scandals, and even the Paramount merger. The White House calls it “desperate.” We call it art. 🗺️ In Texas, Republicans (under Trump’s pressure) are trying to redraw voting districts to secure 5 more GOP seats before 2026. It’s a mid-decade power grab, and Dems may stage a walkout to stop it. 🧨 Plus: Trump posts a meme of JD Vance - is it a sign that Trump hates Vance? Trump pardoned over 1,600 Jan 6 rioters, many with violent records. He just brought a convicted triple murderer into the U.S. as part of a prisoner swap — and now the killer walks free.

This week on The Necessary Conversation , the Kultgen family unpacks another chaotic week in American politics. Topics include: The Catholic Church makes history with the first American pope – but is Pope Leo XIV too woke for the GOP? FBI Director Kash Patel can’t make it to his own meetings — or to a deadline. Is this how law enforcement should run? RFK Jr. cuts off healthcare for 9/11 first responders. Is this the party that “backs the blue”? Trump gets $2B through a crypto deal — and just so happens to ease chip export rules for the UAE. Coincidence? A Trump-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan falls apart in hours. Is diplomacy dead? The administration floats suspending habeas corpus for migrants. Do rights still apply in America? A New Jersey ICE facility arrests a mayor and accuses Congress members of “body-slamming” guards. Seriously. Trump kills rural broadband programs — stripping internet access from red states that voted for him. Plus: we take a breather to celebrate Mother’s Day with favorite memories from both moms and their kids. 🎧 Watch, argue, and prepare to simmer down. #TrumpNews #AmericanPope #RFK #FBI #KashPatel #CryptoScandal #ICE #HabeasCorpus #NoInternet #PoliticalPodcast #TheNecessaryConversation If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

The Kultgens dig into Donald Trump's first 100 days back in office—and it’s been a wild ride. From a record-shattering 143 executive orders to the creation of a $500,000 pay-to-play club in D.C., we break down what’s happening behind the headlines. 🎙️ Topics include: Why the stock market is tanking Trump’s broken promises on Ukraine and Gaza Immigration crackdowns and ICE raids on U.S. citizens The AI “Pope Trump” image (yes, really) The secretive Executive Branch club for rich elites Trump's attempt to punish a law firm—blocked by a federal judge Amazon backing down on tariff transparency after a Trump call And… Trump’s response to kids not getting toys this year: “Two dolls instead of 30.” 💥 We ask the big questions: Is this what success looks like? Should anyone be able to buy access to the president? How bad do things have to get before MAGA voters reconsider? PLUS: We lighten the mood with this week’s “Simmer Down” segment, where each of us shares a personal moment of pride. Because even in chaos, you have to celebrate the wins. Watch, comment, and join the conversation—we may not all agree, but we’re still talking. 📺 Subscribe for new episodes every week. #Trump100Days #PoliticsPodcast #MAGA #Project2025 #BipartisanFamily #TheNecessaryConversation If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to: thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

Topics include: Trump's authoritarian moves against judges Hegseth's classified leak scandal (again) Elon Musk abandoning government promises to save Tesla Trump's student loan crackdown and Harvard's lawsuit Deportations to El Salvador's mega-prison FEMA funding denied to Arkansas We ask the tough questions — and the Kultgen family doesn’t hold back.

In this episode of The Necessary Conversation , Chad and his sister Haley (the liberals) face off against their conservative parents, Mary Lou and Bob, for another brutally honest family debate about the week's biggest political chaos. We cover: Trump’s refusal to comply with the Supreme Court over Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s illegal deportation—plus the staged margarita photo in a Salvadorian mega-prison. The Supreme Court halting Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act—even his own justices ruled against him. Trump's failed promise to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, and the 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. RFK Jr.’s latest autism stunt: claiming he’ll find the “cause” by September with a debunked vaccine conspiracist in charge. A “Simmer Down” break with celebrity impressions. New polls show Trump’s approval cratering—especially with young voters. The ACLU sues the Department of Defense over banned books and canceled cultural observances in military schools. Trump’s new executive order that may make water less safe for Black communities in Alabama. PLUS: Bob brings up the Michelle Obama conspiracy theory, and the family unpacks the Blue Origin flight with Katy Perry and Gayle King. 🎙️ Subscribe for your weekly dose of truth, tension, and totally unfiltered family drama.
