Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor American beverage.

If you think about some of the most iconic drinks in the country, the ones you grab at a barbecue,

the ones you raise to celebrate your team that have been part of your story for decades,

Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi. There's something people don't always think about. The companies behind

those brands are still making their drinks right here in the U.S. While there's a lot of talk

about bringing manufacturing back, America's beverage companies never left. They're American

companies making American products with American workers in America's hometown. So 275,000 men and women across

all 50 states, real jobs, good paying jobs, the kind of jobs you can raise a family on. So more than

still operating in communities around the country. So if you care about strong local economies

check out the good work and what they're doing at we deliver for America.org.
