We missed Johnny Dollar, because we were listening to the end of the Saints game.

We’ve been here since. It’s been an intense show.

I’m sitting here crying over the Phillip Nolan story. It makes me think of how so many people nowadays don’t know how good America is. It really makes me sad, but it does remind us what a marvelous nation we have. It’s hanging by the brink.

God bless America.
