The Necessary Conversation

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we’re joined by special guest Parker Get A Job for a packed episode breaking down corruption, voting rights, ICE, the Epstein files, and a DOJ that looks increasingly captured.🔥 Pam Bondi’s Epstein Hearing MeltdownAttorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee and refused to answer basic questions about the botched Epstein files release—dodging accountability, protecting co-conspirators, and even refusing to acknowledge victims sitting right in front of her. Photographers also caught documents suggesting the DOJ may be surveilling members of Congress.We ask:Why won’t Bondi release over half the Epstein files?Who is she protecting?Is she covering for Trump?🚔 ICE Says It’s Leaving MinneapolisBorder czar Tom Homan claims ICE’s historic “surge” in Minnesota is ending after 4,000 arrests—without acknowledging two daylight killings by ICE agents. State and city leaders aren’t convinced the pullout is real.We discuss:Is ICE actually leaving?Why announce this now?Which city is next?🗳️ The SAVE Act: Making Voting HarderHouse Republicans passed the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship, strict voter ID, and exact name matching—measures that would disproportionately block married women, seniors, low-income voters, rural voters, and trans voters from the polls. Trump says these rules will apply to the midterms whether the bill passes or not.We ask:Why make voting harder?What happens if voters are turned away?Is this legal?🧘 Simmer DownWhat is the most important piece of technology in human history?⚖️ Grand Jury Rejects Trump’s ChargesA federal grand jury refused to indict six Democratic lawmakers Trump labeled “seditious” for reminding service members to refuse unlawful orders.
