Today's presenting sponsor is Simply Safe Home Security. Every night it's the same routine.

Doom scroll, lock up, stare at the ceiling thinking about all the ways the world can go wrong.

The one place you do not want chaos is in your house. That's why you need SimplySafe to keep your home and family safe.

Old school security is like Congress. Lots of noise after something bad happens. Simply Safe is proactive.

Their active guard outdoor monitoring uses AI and real people to watch for problems outside your home in real time. If somebody's lurking around, agents can see it, talk through the camera and call the cops if they need to. So Simply Safe stops crimes before they start. I set up a Simply Safe system. It's incredibly easy to set up, and it gives you peace in mind when you're away. The monitoring was really reliable. The customer support was great, and it's good to protect your home, and, you know, I recommend it. You're covered inside and out. Cameras and monitoring outside sensors and 24-7 protection inside. They've been protecting five million Americans for over 20 years, and U.S. News and World Report has named them best home security system five years in a row. No long-term contracts, no nonsense.
