A quick warning.
There are curse words that are unbeeped in today's episode of the show.
If you prefer a beeped version, you can find that at our website, thisamericanlife.org WBC Chicago CisAmerican Life.
I'm Eric Glass.
Okay, so listen, right now we're gonna be a little bit quiet because we're gonna have a family talk.
Are you ready for a family talk?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Dad.
What?
Brian LeBaron.
This is that of a big family.
Seven kids in all.
He mostly grew up in the United States, but his father and most of his family is Mexican.
He moved back there a few years ago.
Back in November, he gathered everybody together for a family meeting outside on a patio.
Most of the kids were on a long bench holding pillows.
Lexi thinks that this is an important moment in our family, and I agree with her.
Lexi is Lexi Harrison Cripps, the journalist that recorded this meeting because she knew what some of the kids did not know, that Brian was planning to run for a seat in Mexico's House of Representatives.
What does that mean?
I want to work for the government.
