wednesday morning folks good morning it is the dear america program my name is Chad Prather, filling in for Graham Allen, who is off saving the world in Washington, D.C. As the Patriot Hammer, that's right. We came here to out his superhero status, but you already knew that. I hope you guys are having a good hump day. It is Wednesday morning, right? I mean, my days are running together. It already feels like things are just kind of, whoa, I just kind of turn it into one big pile of white noise. I hope everyone there in the chat is ready for a fun show. We're going to make this thing up as we go. We actually did a little bit of preparation.

And I want to encourage you guys, make sure you're liking, you're sharing, you're subscribing,

doing all the good things that you can do for free to support the Dear America program.

doesn't exist. It's vanished. Sort of like your motivation at 7 a.m. on a Monday. But now,

you know, they call it common sense, right? And we always talk about how common sense isn't very

common. And to call it common sense is optimistic at best. It implies that it's supposed to be everywhere,

like air or glitter. But, I mean, if you've ever met people, if common sense were actually
