Will the MAGA UFC be a success?

This week on The Necessary Conversation: Midweek Edition, it's just Chad and Mom (Mary Lou) trading videos from opposite sides of the political aisle. Dad (Bob) had a trip to the ER this week for a UTI — he's home now eating shrimp and recovering. Haley will be back Sunday. ❤️

🗳️ We kick off with Spencer Pratt's wild AI campaign ad for LA mayor that turns Karen Bass into a Batman villain who hurts puppies, then launches her into space. Mom sent it. Chad is baffled. We both agree it's ridiculous — but Spencer Pratt might actually end up in a runoff against Bass.

🎤 Trump is now floating canceling the Great American State Fair entirely after nearly every musical artist backed out. His solution? Replace it with a rally starring himself — "the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime." Only Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice remain.

🏙️ Mom sends a clip of a podcaster roasting NYC Mayor Mamdani's plan to transfer ownership of neglected buildings to nonprofits or tenants. Chad and Mom go back and forth on whether that's wild or actually a good idea.

🍆 Chad shows Mom a resurfaced video of Bill Pulte — Trump's new Director of National Intelligence — getting slapped in the face with a dildo and receiving an award that reads "only the young." Mom doesn't want to talk dildos with her son but agrees: Trump needs to do better with his appointments. We also dig into Trump's insider trading with TKO/UFC stock.

🏗️ New side-by-side photos of the White House show what it used to look like versus what it looks like now — a giant hole for the ballroom and a massive UFC structure on the South Lawn. Mom says it looks like crap. Chad points out that Trump claims he needs the ballroom for security, but he's about to sit outside at a UFC fight with no enclosure.

😴 Chad plays a clip of Marco Rubio being shown video of Trump sleeping right next to him at a cabinet meeting — and Rubio tells Congress it never happened. Mom admits she sees Trump declining and getting more tired, but still thinks he should be president. Chad pushes back.

Mom's coming around on some things this week — she didn't like the White House construction, didn't like the Bill Pulte pick, and said she sees Trump's decline. Progress? We'll see Sunday.
