Good Monday morning. It is a bright and beautiful day. I hope it is where you are as well. Welcome to the Dear America program. And welcome to the Dear America family. I'm Chad Braitha, Philan for Graham Allen. The team is here. We will get to that in a minute. We are going to talk about war. Is it going to continue happening? We've been apparently funding a proxy war in Ukraine. Trump says he can end it. We'll see if he can. A lot of interesting comments are coming out from world leaders about that. But before we get into this show today, I want you guys to make sure that you are engaged in the chat.

You know what? Before, let's do this. Let's just get everybody on here. I've been on here for the last hour chatting it up, getting caught up with these boys. And I want you to see their pretty faces because they're eager to see you guys as well. So I have no fear. Producer Royce is here. Where are you at?

Good morning. I have a quick surprise for the chat.

They know and love them, and they like to comment about them.

It's Jack.

Jack is here, and he's knocked out cold pretty much.

Yeah.

I drugged the cat so he'd be on the show.

Look at the camera. That's it. You better look at he'd be on the show. Look at the camera.
