Welcome to The Necessary Conversation, Midweek Edition. It's me. It's my mom and her Best American Flag Hat. This midweek version of our show usually features my mom and I showing each other clips from across the aisle on various topics. Today, I've got a clip for you, mom, about Eugene Carroll. You have one for me as well. That's been a big point of

contention over the course of this entire show, really, is that you kind of dismissed the fact that

Trump was found guilty by a jury of nine people unanimously in that case where they found that

he did, in fact, sexually assault E. Generoll hello yes okay i also have a clip about you said in the

in last week's episode i told you that trump was kept out of the situation room when they were

rescuing the downed pilot and you said show me proof of that so i have have a clip about that as well. And you have sent me

two clips. One is about Eugene Carroll. What is the other one about? It's a pretty long one and we only

have to go maybe like a couple of minutes into it. It's a person that I saw on TikTok that is

from Iran. He lives here in the United States, and he talks about why he does want our government

to help his country. Okay. It's pretty good. Well, where shall we start? Well, first, I would like to

start to say, happy Earth Day today. Did you know this, Chad? Today is Earth Day. I didn't know.

It is every April 22nd, no matter what day of the week. I guess it's, would it always be Wednesdays? I don't know.

I don't think so. No, it would change. That's right. It was established back in 1970,

which back then I do faintly remember it, but then it has picked up, you know,

year after year after year. It's one of the largest secular civic events in the whole world.

I looked it up. It said over one billion people participate in it.

Wow.

You know, everything from planting trees to educational, to environmental, to keeping our planet clean.

And it was started back in 1970 by a senator named Gaylord Nelson.

And then an activist also helped him named Dennis Hayes.

Okay.

So I'm just asking you, Chad, what are you doing today to celebrate Earth Day?
