  The Housing Crisis Is a Lie—but the Prices Aren’t 19.08.2026 49p

  Text the show! The prices are real. The shortage is real. The explanation Americans keep hearing is the lie. Government is simultaneously trying to protect the value of existing homes and make those same homes affordable. Those goals cannot both succeed—but admitting that would require politicians to choose between current homeowners and the people still trying to become homeowners. So they perform a magic trick instead. Chad examines nearly $460 billion in federal spending, California’s mil...

  Luigi Mangione Pleaded Guilty. Now Check the Scoreboard. 18.08.2026 41p

  Text the show! Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty. Twenty months after his killing was celebrated as a rupture, a reckoning, and a catalyst for healthcare reform, it is finally time to check the scoreboard. What was the demand? What was the mechanism? Who built the coalition? What was the result? The answer is brutal: the movement generated celebrity, merchandise, courtroom fan culture, and a seven-figure legal defense fund—but no measurable improvement for sick Americans. Chad examines the diffe...

  Washington Already Solved AI. Then the Money Showed Up. | Monologue Monday 18.08.2026 49p

  Text the show! 🎥 WATCH COMMON SENSE ON RUMBLE https://rumble.com/c/CommonSenseWithChadLaw Washington is crawling with psychics. Politicians, television personalities, and technology executives can tell you exactly what artificial intelligence will do to your job, your children, and the country twenty years from now. What they cannot tell you is what the law says today—because Congress still hasn’t produced one comprehensive AI framework. While Washington predicts the future, rival factions o...

  DSA: Abolish Everything. Explain Nothing. | Sequel Sunday 16.08.2026 48p

  Text the show! The DSA has a magic word: abolish. But “abolish” is not a construction plan. In this Sequel Sunday episode, Chad Law breaks down the DSA’s language, its platform, and the Democratic Party’s strange relationship with a movement it wants to distance itself from while borrowing much of its policy direction. This episode asks one simple question: When political movements tell you what they want to tear down, do they know what goes there next? 📲 Text/call the show: 252-CHAD-LAW &nb...

  Activists Demand AMBER Alert Changed to PAT | Satire Saturday 16.08.2026 10p

  Text the show! Progressives have discovered the real problem with the AMBER Alert: Amber. In this Satire Saturday episode, an entirely imaginary government committee reviews the alert system—not to determine whether it works, but whether its language is harmful. “Kidnapped” assigns blame. “Girl” assumes gender. “Blue Honda” imposes your perception onto the vehicle. The abductor becomes an “unlicensed transportation provider,” the missing child becomes a “participant with incompletely documen...

  When Slogans Replace Substance | Freedom Friday 14.08.2026 1ó 1p

  Text the show! The most dangerous political sentence may be the one that makes you nod before it’s finished. Justice. Freedom. Community. Fairness. Democracy. Sovereignty. Politicians and political movements across the ideological spectrum use the same appealing words—while meaning radically different things by them. In this Freedom Friday episode, Chad examines how political language can make people feel understood without making them informed. Recent interviews with leaders from the Democr...

  The Fact Didn’t Change. You Did. | Wacky Wednesday 12.08.2026 1ó 9p

  Text the show! What if changing nothing but the political name attached to a fact could change whether you believe it? Turns out, researchers have tested exactly that—and the results aren't particularly flattering to either side. This Wacky Wednesday starts with a strange reaction to a previous Common Sense episode: government and academic wildfire research being dismissed as a “Trump talking point.” From there, Chad follows the same mechanism through decades of American politics. Xavier Bec...

  I Wasn't Guessing About Fauci | Tuesday Special 11.08.2026 20p

  Text the show! Anthony Fauci just invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times before the United States Senate. So Chad went back to February 27, 2022 — the third episode of Common Sense he ever recorded — to find out whether his original argument survived four and a half years of new evidence. Some of it didn't. But one argument did. From the AIDS crisis of the 1980s to the Great Barrington Declaration in 2020, this episode examines a recurring problem that is much bigger than Anthon...

  Why Don’t We Let People Sell Their Organs? | Monologue Monday 11.08.2026 1ó 26p

  Text the show! What happens when a morally well-intentioned system produces terrible results? Chad begins with the case of Keith Lott, a 47-year-old New Jersey man whose family says they spent two days fighting an organ procurement organization over whether his organs could be recovered after his death. But that story opens a much larger question. America desperately needs kidneys. Living donation has remained essentially flat for decades. Dialysis costs taxpayers enormous sums. And yet fede...

  The Art of No Deal: Iran Edition | Satire Saturday 08.08.2026 13p

  Text the show! Trump wrote The Art of the Deal. After months of warnings, deadlines, extensions, and negotiations with Iran, I think it's time for the sequel: The Art of No Deal: Iran Edition. On this Satire Saturday, we're launching Trump's completely fictional new book — collector's edition, diplomatic edition, children's edition, empty display case and all. Then we tackle the bigger problem: maybe Trump's negotiating strategy isn't failing. Maybe he's simply never negotiated with a gay Su...

  Everyone Saw the Rescue. They Missed This. | Freedom Friday 07.08.2026 1ó 2p

  Text the show! A 16-year-old California lifeguard saved a 10-year-old boy from drowning in massive surf. The country celebrated the rescue. His mother celebrated something else: the training that made the rescue possible. When people tried to give her son money, she redirected them toward the Junior Lifeguards program that had spent years preparing him for the moment everyone else saw on video. That got Chad thinking: Why do we spend so much attention on the rescue and so little on the readi...

  The Answer Was Outside All Along | Wacky Wednesday 05.08.2026 41p

  Text the show! Everyone keeps telling us Gen Z has ten different problems. AI relationships. Bed rotting. Loneliness. Phone anxiety. Declining friendships. Falling mental health. This week, Chad Law asks a different question: What if they're actually all the same problem? Following scientific research, physician-led nature prescription programs, public policy, and decades of behavioral data, this episode makes the case that America didn't lose another generation... We simply forgot to send t...

  The Truth About Wildfires | Monologue Monday 04.08.2026 44p

  Text the show! Wildfires are getting worse. Almost everyone agrees on that. But what happens after the agreement? This episode isn't about debating climate change. It's about asking the question almost nobody asks: Now what? After traveling through Montana during one of the worst wildfire smoke events in recent memory, Chad investigates why America has become so good at diagnosing problems—and so bad at implementing solutions. The surprising discovery? The plans already exist. Federal agenci...

  Best Of: The Science Wasn't Settled. It Was Enforced. | March 31, 2026 29.07.2026 49p

  Text the show! Originally Aired: March 31, 2026 What happens when institutions quietly reverse years of policy without ever admitting they were wrong? In this Best Of episode, Chad revisits one of Common Sense's most talked-about investigations into transgender athletics, women's prisons, institutional accountability, and what happens when ideology collides with reality. The conversation isn't simply about transgender policy. It's about something much bigger: When leaders spend years insisti...

  Best Of: Conservatives Don't Hate EVs—They Hate Being Forced (Originally Aired February 17, 2026) 28.07.2026 40p

  Text the show! Originally aired February 17, 2026. This week's Best Of episode begins with a confession that usually surprises people: I drive an electric Hummer. That doesn't make me less conservative. It actually reinforces one of my core beliefs. People don't reject innovation—they reject being told what they're supposed to like. In this episode, we separate technology from politics and examine how mandates, subsidies, and political messaging have transformed a consumer product into a cul...

  Best Of Common Sense: Why Local Law Enforcement Is Falling Behind (Originally Aired March 9, 2026) 27.07.2026 54p

  Text the show! What happens when Americans expect FBI-level investigations from departments operating on county budgets? In this Best of Common Sense episode, Chad Law explores the widening gap between federal investigative agencies and the local law enforcement officers responsible for solving the vast majority of crimes in America. Using one nationally watched investigation as a starting point, Chad explains why modern policing increasingly depends on resources many local agencies simply d...

  Our Problems. Their Profits. | When the Fix Costs Too Much | Sequel Sunday 26.07.2026 53p

  Text the show! Last week on Common Sense, Chad asked whether government can ever actually get smaller. This week, a single receipt from California turns that question upside down. When electric vehicles reduce smog inspections, what happens to the fees that funded them? When lottery revenue is promised to schools, what happens when the institution becomes more important than the promise? What do tobacco settlements, prison contracts, and legalized sports betting all have in common? This epis...

  Lindsey Graham Got the Last Laugh | Satire Saturday 25.07.2026 12p

  Text the show! For one month, the biggest story in Washington was a man who wasn't speaking. The second biggest story was the senator who built an entire career making sure he was. This week on Satire Saturday, we imagine the greatest media rivalry Congress never admitted existed: Mitch McConnell vs. Lindsey Graham—not over policy, but over television cameras. From proof-of-life photos to endless Sunday show appearances, Jurassic Park has never looked more accurate. Sometimes the loudest per...

  Politicians Keep Changing the Deal After You Vote | Freedom Friday 25.07.2026 46p

  Text the show! 🤝 Every policy begins with a handshake. The problem is that Americans rarely receive the same deal they originally agreed to. This week Chad examines one pattern that connects California's bullet train, the border wall, mental health reform, Oregon's Measure 110, broadband expansion, nuclear waste storage, and even an old telephone tax. The promises rarely disappear. They slowly become a different version. In this episode: Why politicians celebrate announcements instead ...

  Why Bad Politicians Keep Winning | Wacky Wednesday 22.07.2026 55p

  Text the show! What if the problem isn't that politicians suddenly became worse? What if we've quietly stopped rewarding quality altogether? In this episode, Chad Law traces the surprising chain reaction that transformed American politics—from résumé politics to jersey politics. Along the way, he explores: • Why scandals no longer end campaigns • How celebrity endorsements replaced real vetting • Why viral moments matter more than governing • The hidden danger of safe political districts • T...
