📣 Bob is out this week prepping for hip surgery—but don’t worry, we’ve got backup.
Joining us in his place is Rep. Gil Cisneros, Congressman from California’s 31st district, to help us unpack one of the most explosive weeks in politics yet.

🧨 Epstein List Doesn’t Exist?!
After years of MAGA conspiracy theories, the FBI and DOJ announced this week that no Epstein client list exists. Trump loyalists are revolting. Bongino might resign. Pam Bondi flip-flopped. Kash Patel is backtracking. Steve Bannon says Trump could lose 10% of his base. We break down Trump’s unhinged Truth Social post—and ask: is the MAGA movement fracturing?

🌊 Texas Floods + FEMA Chaos
Thousands of desperate calls from flood victims in Texas went unanswered after Kristi Noem froze FEMA funding. Was this avoidable? Should she resign?

⚖️ Trump vs. The Supreme Court
More evidence Trump is ignoring SCOTUS rulings. Deportation orders, judicial injunctions, and whistleblower accusations mount. Are we still living in a democracy?

🐊 Alligator Alcatraz Horror
A new report from inside the Florida migrant camp reveals maggots in food, no water, constant light, and raw sewage. Are human rights violations being committed?

🍼 Birthright Citizenship Temporarily Saved
A federal judge blocks Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship—will SCOTUS reverse it?

🎬 Plus: Superman crushes the box office, merch grifts, and loyalty lie detectors inside the FBI.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Kultgen family is back—minus Bob—with Haley, Chad, Mary Lou, and Rep. Gil Cisneros in The Necessary Conversation.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:

• Should Trump face consequences for defying the courts?
• Is the Epstein file drama the final crack in MAGA unity?

This week on The Necessary Conversation, the Kultgen Family dives into the most chaotic week in American politics yet—featuring billion-dollar bills, flooded detention centers, and a potential UFC cage fight… on the White House lawn.

🔺 Big Beautiful Bill (BBB)
Trump celebrates July 4th by signing the most aggressive bill of his presidency—permanently extending tax cuts for the rich, slashing Medicaid & SNAP, defunding Planned Parenthood, and making ICE the highest-budgeted federal agency.
Who wins? The rich.
Who loses? 12 million Americans who could lose healthcare.

🐊 Alligator Alcatraz
A new migrant detention center in the Everglades floods within 24 hours of opening. Trump, DeSantis, and Kristi Noem tour it proudly while Laura Loomer jokes about “65 million meals” for gators. We ask: Is this a concentration camp?

🌊 Texas Floods & NWS Cuts
52 dead, 37 still missing after a catastrophic flood in central Texas. Forecasts missed the mark—was it because Trump gutted the National Weather Service?

💸 Trump Merch Madness
From gold-plated perfume bottles to official “Alligator Alcatraz” baby onesies—Trump and the GOP are profiting from chaos. Would you buy this stuff?

🥊 UFC at the White House?
Trump wants to host a pay-per-view UFC fight on the lawn. Is this entertainment, authoritarian spectacle—or both?

🎙️ Join Chad, Haley, Mary Lou, and Bob as we battle it out over America’s future in this brutally honest family debate.

In this week’s fiery episode of The Necessary Conversation, the Kultgen family tackles some of the biggest political stories shaping America—and the world.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Join Chad, Haley, and their MAGA parents, Mary Lou and Bob, as they debate:

🧨 Supreme Court Power Grab
The Court ruled that lower courts can no longer block executive orders nationwide. Is this the end of checks and balances—or the start of a dictatorship?

🇮🇷 Iran Nuclear Strike: Success or Spin?
Trump claims the U.S. bombing "obliterated" Iran’s nuclear capabilities. But leaked intel says otherwise. Who's telling the truth?

💥 DOJ Whistleblower Bombshell
A former DOJ official says top Trump appointees told lawyers to ignore court orders on deportations. Is this rogue governance or standard practice?

🏙️ NYC Political Earthquake
Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani defeats Andrew Cuomo in NYC's mayoral primary. Is this a fluke—or the future of the Democratic Party?

📺 Newsom vs. Fox News
California Governor Gavin Newsom sues Fox News for $787M over alleged defamation. Is this about accountability—or censorship?

🌍 Trump Hearts NATO & Zelensky Now?
At the NATO summit, Trump praised Ukraine’s president and criticized Putin. Is this a genuine shift or strategic theater?

To cool off, the Kultgens play a chaotic alphabet word game.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, the Kultgen Family is back—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump promised to be the “anti-war president,” but now the U.S. is bombing Iran, and even MAGA is starting to fracture. Is this the start of World War III?

We dive deep into:
🇮🇷 Trump’s stunning military escalation against Iran using B-2 bombers and “bunker busters”
🪖 Pete Hegseth’s shocking refusal to rule out U.S. troops firing on civilians
🔥 ICE raids in Los Angeles schools and Trump threatening to cut wildfire aid to California
📅 Trump’s Juneteenth post claiming there are “too many non-working holidays”
⚖️ A court ruling letting Trump keep control of National Guard troops over Newsom’s objections
🤖 And the surreal news that four Big Tech execs—including from OpenAI, Meta, and Palantir—were just sworn into the U.S. military as Lt. Colonels

This week on The Necessary Conversation, the Kultgen family unpacks one of the most explosive political episodes of the year.

We cover the Musk vs. Trump meltdown, which began with a scathing Elon tweet about Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and escalated to accusations of Epstein ties, threats to decommission space tech, and the possible creation of a third political party. Is this the end of MAGA tech bromance?

Then we head to Los Angeles, where ICE raids sparked mass protests, Molotovs, and a federal crackdown that’s raised serious questions about civil unrest, states' rights, and whether Trump is intentionally pushing the U.S. toward internal conflict.

Also in this episode:
🚨 Starlink at the White House – A rogue Wi-Fi network installed without clearance. Is Musk secretly harvesting data?
🤖 Is Biden a robot clone? – Yes, Trump reposted that.
🛩️ Ukraine’s $200K Drone Strike That Crippled $7B of Russian Bombers – Did they just change the future of war forever?
⚖️ Kilmar Abrigo Garcia Returns to U.S. – Deported, brought back by SCOTUS, and immediately indicted. Is this justice or politics?

🎙️Plus: We retell the legendary Cornstabber Incident from our own chaotic perspectives.

Happy Pride, Happy Graduation, and Happy 50th Anniversary to Mary Lou and Bob!

This week we cover:

🌮 The Taco Tariff Trades
Trump's tariff flip-flops hit the spotlight when CNBC's Megan Cassella asked him about “Taco Trade” – short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” His furious response? “That’s the nastiest question.” We break down the impact on markets and global credibility.

👁️ Elon’s Black Eye
Why did Elon Musk show up bruised before resigning from DOGE? Drug rumors, a rumored brawl with the Treasury Secretary, and a $2 trillion promise that fell $1.84 trillion short. We ask: Should someone tripping on ketamine have access to your financial and medical records?

🎟️ Pardon Moi
Trump fires Pardon Attorney Elizabeth Oyer and installs loyalist Ed Martin. With over 1,600 pardons—including reality TV fraudsters, corrupt sheriffs, and tax cheats—we follow the money straight to a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser. Is it justice or just business?

🔥 The End of the Bromance
Trump turns on Putin: “He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” With WWIII on the table, we explore why Trump is shifting his stance—and whether this is a real break or more bluster.

🎓 Harvard Under Fire
Trump tries to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. DHS claims national security concerns; Harvard fights back in federal court—and wins a temporary reprieve. Is this about safety or silencing higher ed?

🏃‍♀️ AB Hernandez & Trans Athletes in Sports
After a 16-year-old trans girl dominates in high school track, Trump lashes out and threatens California’s funding. We examine the CIF’s new podium policy, Trump’s executive orders, and what the law really says.

🎬 SIMMER DOWN
And we have fun with some movie quotes.

🧠 Engage in the comments:

• Should Trump be able to revoke Harvard’s federal funding?

• What do you think gave Elon the black eye?
