America is deeply divided.

There are only two sides to every issue, and there is no interest in finding common ground,

not even with members of your own family.

But as the 2024 presidential election looms on the horizon, there has never been a more important time to have the necessary conversation.

Hello and welcome to the necessary conversation. I'm Chad Colchin with me as always is my

sister Haley, fellow lefty and my parents, Mary Lou and Bob, who are deep in the Q&ON conspiracy pit, deep Trump supporters.

We're going to be talking about four political issues this week.

And there are some doozies this week, of course.

But first, before we begin, Dad, we have to mention on January 29th, you said a nuclear weapon would be used in Ukraine within 30 to 40 days.

We are 70 days past that prediction, no nuke. Has your prediction failed? Will you admit you're wrong?

No. Will you admit you're wrong about anything? No. All right. Let's move on. We are going to begin today with a

question from a listener.

This is a question sent from Beth W.

It's short.

It's to the point.

I think it's to address basically to me and Haley.

Does it hurt your feelings when your dad calls you things like, in quotes,

fucking idiot or dumb shit?

I know you laugh it off on the podcast,

but does that bother you in the long run? Thanks for having these necessary conversations. My husband and I really enjoy listening, Beth W. Haley, does it bother

you? It doesn't. I don't know. Like we just grew up this way. I kind of learned to not take it

personally. It doesn't bother me, no.
