This week on The Necessary Conversation , the Kultgen family unpacks another chaotic week in American politics. Topics include: The Catholic Church makes history with the first American pope – but is Pope Leo XIV too woke for the GOP? FBI Director Kash Patel can’t make it to his own meetings — or to a deadline. Is this how law enforcement should run? RFK Jr. cuts off healthcare for 9/11 first responders. Is this the party that “backs the blue”? Trump gets $2B through a crypto deal — and just so happens to ease chip export rules for the UAE. Coincidence? A Trump-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan falls apart in hours. Is diplomacy dead? The administration floats suspending habeas corpus for migrants. Do rights still apply in America? A New Jersey ICE facility arrests a mayor and accuses Congress members of “body-slamming” guards. Seriously. Trump kills rural broadband programs — stripping internet access from red states that voted for him. Plus: we take a breather to celebrate Mother’s Day with favorite memories from both moms and their kids. 🎧 Watch, argue, and prepare to simmer down. #TrumpNews #AmericanPope #RFK #FBI #KashPatel #CryptoScandal #ICE #HabeasCorpus #NoInternet #PoliticalPodcast #TheNecessaryConversation If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to:
