In the aftermath of the 2024 election, America is even more divided than before.

Thumbails.

Some prints, whatever they're called.

Thumbails, whatever they're...

All right.

Welcome to the necessary conversation.

I'm Chad Colchin with me is, as always, my lefty sister,

Haley Pope and my parents, Bob and Mary Lou Colchin, who are deep in the Maga Pit.

hopefully the six big political issues of last week

and how everybody is feeling about all of them haley are you okay yeah i feel like i've had the

flu for about three weeks now how long has it actually been um about three weeks i've not felt

Should have gotten that vaccine. I think I did. I get all the vaccines. It's probably why she's sick.

Sometimes we start off this very program with what my mom likes to call her ditties.

These are just little one-off ideas or events that happen over the course of the week that you like to highlight.

Mom, do you have any ditties this week for us?

Yes, you remember.

Thank you very much.
