All right, all right, all right.

Good morning.

And dear America family, I hope everyone is doing well.

I hope that you guys were able to commemorate a great memorial day yesterday.

And remember the reason why we commemorate that day to honor the fallen. You know, we live in the

greatest country in the world. I think we live in the greatest time in the world. And the reason we

live in the greatest country is because we have men and women with the willingness to put on

uniform every day with the willingness to serve, sacrifice, and potentially give their lives for

your freedom and liberty. And folks, that is why we do what we do in telling the truth, because at the end of the day, we do not want that sacrifice

to be in vain. So I hope everyone celebrated the lives and took a moment just to reflect on the

freedoms that we have and the reason why we have them. I'm Chad Prather filling in for Graham Allen. Welcome

to the Dear America program. Blow up the chat this morning. Let me see those American flags.

Participate. This is a participatory podcast, folks. We want you guys to get a little exercise in this.

You're not getting your steps in, but you get you little, you know, you hit the like button,

hit the subscribe button. You go down and leave the little hard comment under the video and get involved in the chat.

We're going to do that, a lot of stuff to get into, some frightening things and maybe even some hopeful things as well today.

We always try to give you a little bit of motivation.

I am from an undisclosed location down in the bunker here.

I traveled a little bit for Memorial Day

and I just need a little time to refresh and rest. And you know what? I've been moving all week long.

And I say I've been moving. I had other people moving me. But you still, you know how stressful that

is. It's been crazy but good. And I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and is ready for a great episode today with Tony and Todd on here in just a few minutes.
