Coming to you from the Hagman Report.com studio, located in the Keystone State, birthplace of a mighty nation. It's your host, Doug Hagman. It is the Hagman report for today, Wednesday, April 1st, 2020, yeah, April Fool's Day.

I don't think too many people, I don't know about you,

but I certainly, I've never liked April Fool's jokes,

and I don't think now is the time. This year is the time for any kind of
