The Polls Aren’t Wrong. The People Reading Them Are....

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/09/04

Text the show! 📊 There’s no such thing as a wrong poll. Yeah, I know. Stay with me. A poll is a measurement. It records what a group of people said at a particular moment. A prediction is something else entirely. So when an election doesn't turn out the way television forecasters expected, why do we blame the measuring instrument instead of the people who turned that measurement into a prediction? This Freedom Friday, Chad goes back through the polling “disasters” Americans think they

Tech Companies Skipped One Step. It Cost Them $130...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/09/04

Text the show! America is supposedly turning against artificial intelligence. But the numbers tell a stranger story. Americans are adopting AI while simultaneously fighting the data centers being built to power it. Meanwhile, cities are removing Flock license-plate cameras even though evidence suggests the technology can actually help solve vehicle theft. So Chad asks a different question: What if the backlash isn't about the technology at all? In this Thursday Special, Chad traces $130 bill...

Oregon Put a Fee on Your Groceries. You Can't See...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/09/01

Text the show! Oregon put a packaging fee on thousands of companies. There's just one problem: when you buy the product, you can't see what you're paying. And Oregon already knows how to do this differently. Buy a mattress and the recycling fee appears on your receipt. Buy paint and the fee is disclosed. Return a bottle and there's a dime attached to it — a dime that helped Oregon's bottle bill automatically correct itself when return rates fell. Then you get to groceries. Dozens of packagin...

Why Beef Prices Keep Rising — And Ranchers Aren’t...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/31

Text the show! Beef is more expensive than ever. So why aren't America's ranchers getting rich? Because here's the part almost nobody tells you: The rancher doesn't really set the price. And neither do you. In today's Monologue Monday, Chad follows the American food system from the meat case backward — through cattle processors, patented seeds, tractor software, poultry contracts, government regulation and the $390 billion Farm Bill. And the same pattern keeps appearing. The farmer owns the ...

The $319 Billion Nonprofit Problem Nobody Is...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/31

Text the show! The government sends nonprofits roughly $319 billion in taxpayer money. But what exactly are taxpayers buying? Chad starts with homelessness programs and discovers an accountability problem much larger than any one organization: nonprofits and governments frequently measure activity rather than outcomes—and sometimes the available data can't establish whether programs succeeded at all. But this isn't an attack on nonprofits. Private philanthropy already has a powerful accounta...

Politicians Should Have to Live Under Their Own Laws...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/29

Text the show! Before pilots fly a plane, they train in a simulator. Surgeons practice before operating. Police officers run scenarios before hitting the street. Politicians? We apparently just hand them the keys to the country. On this Satire Saturday, Chad has one request for the same tech industry that gave us Bluetooth toothbrushes, Wi-Fi egg trays and refrigerators with opinions: build the Politician Simulator. The rules are simple. Politicians enter without their staff, wallet, car, ti...

Five People Just Decided What Tires You Can Buy |...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/28

Text the show! California’s tire controversy looks like another weird California story. Chad argues it’s something much more important. This episode follows one tire regulation backward through the system that produced it: appointed commissioners, decades-old laws, regulatory modeling, industry stakeholders, appliance standards, rising energy costs, and agencies whose authority can continue long after the political moment that created them disappears. But this isn’t an anti-regulation rant. ...

America Can’t Handle Two Truths Anymore | Wacky...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/26

Text the show! When did believing one true thing require pretending another true thing doesn't exist? The Lindsay Clancy trial puts twelve Massachusetts jurors in an almost impossible position: everyone agrees on what happened. The fight is over criminal responsibility and what was happening inside her mind when it happened. Two forensic psychiatrists can examine the same case and reach opposing conclusions — while much of the internet seems absolutely certain. Then Chad follows the sa...

Oregon’s Governor Race Is Everything Wrong With...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/26

Text the show! Oregon’s governor race may be one of the cleanest examples of what has gone wrong with American politics. Two candidates have roughly 70 pages of actual policy plans between them. Yet the campaign keeps drifting toward Washington, D.C., national political enemies, and issues increasingly removed from the job Oregon’s next governor will actually have to perform. So Chad asks a much simpler question: Are Oregonians better off? This Tuesday Special builds a scoreboard from Oregon...

Jason Arday Had Two Jobs. Cambridge Only Told Him...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/24

Text the show! Jason Arday was hired by Cambridge University as a professor of sociology. Chad argues that he was also given another job—one Cambridge never put in his contract. He became a symbol. That distinction is at the center of today's Monologue Monday. Rather than joining the argument over whether Arday's downfall proves DEI is corrupt or whether his treatment proves the media is racist, Chad follows the institutions that surrounded him: Cambridge, Harvard, academia, publishing, and ...

They Want $200 Billion From Meta. Look What Happened...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/24

Text the show! Twenty-nine attorneys general are asking for as much as $200 billion from Meta, and the comparison they desperately want you to make is Big Tobacco. Chad has a problem with that comparison. Tobacco companies concealed studies showing their products caused cancer and publicly said the opposite. Meta faces a fundamentally different accusation: criminals used its platforms, kids became hooked on its products, and the company allegedly failed to do enough about it. But there is on...

Boomer Bashing Is Stupid | Thursday Special

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/21

Text the show! Boomers ruined housing. Boomers hoarded the wealth. Boomers pulled up the ladder. At least, that’s the story. But there’s a problem: the charges contradict each other. In this Thursday Special, Chad takes on America’s increasingly fashionable Boomer Bashing and asks the question almost nobody seems interested in answering: What exactly were they supposed to do differently? Sell the house? They cashed out. Stay? They’re hoarding. Leave it to their children? They created generat...

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

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/19

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.

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/19

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...

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

DSA: Abolish Everything. Explain Nothing. | Sequel...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/16

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

Activists Demand AMBER Alert Changed to PAT | Satire...

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/16

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

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/14

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

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/12

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

Common Sense with Chad Law | Political Commentary ·

2026/08/11

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...
