This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

This is Lee Habib, and this is our American stories.

And we tell stories about everything here on this show.

And on our show, America is the star.

It's not a perfect country, but it's a good and great one,

And by the way, that's the purpose of this show

And by the way, if you want to help support our cause, we are a nonprofit.

And though the show is free for you to listen to, it is not free to make.
