Crazy Bastard

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Chad and Haley are back with both parents — Bob and Mary Lou — for another loaded episode.

🔥 Trump fired Pam Bondi this week, reportedly frustrated with her handling of the Epstein files and her failure to prosecute his political enemies. But firing her doesn't get her out of that congressional subpoena — she's still required to appear before the House Oversight Committee on April 14th. Meanwhile, acting AG Todd Blanche says the remaining Epstein files "should not be a part of anything going forward." We have thoughts.

✈️ Less than 48 hours after Trump declared Iran had "no anti-aircraft equipment" and their radar was "100% annihilated," Iran shot down a U.S. F-15 and an A-10, and hit two Black Hawk helicopters. One crew member had to hide on the ground until rescue forces could reach him. We ask: why did Trump lie, and does he actually care about the troops?

🎖️ Pete Hegseth fired the Army's most senior general and three other top military officials — during a war. The New York Times reported it stemmed from Hegseth blocking promotions of two Black officers and two women from a list of 29. We break down why this matters.

🚀 We simmer down with Artemis 2 — the first time humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit since 1972. We talk space travel and what this mission means.

🔫 Defense attorneys for the man charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk revealed that the ATF could not match the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle tied to the suspect. We dig into what that means and what it doesn't.

🏛️ A federal judge blocked construction of Trump's $400 million White House ballroom, ruling he has no authority to build it without Congress. Critics say the "ballroom" looks a lot more like a fortified bunker complex. Trump called the plaintiffs "Radical Left Lunatics."

🐢 For the first time in 34 years, Trump activated the Endangered Species Committee to strip protections from Gulf of Mexico species — including a whale with only 51 left on Earth — to clear the way for oil and gas. Environmental groups say no projects were actually being held up. Lawsuits are already flying.

Bob's back this week and fully loaded. You don't want to miss this one.
