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 Report for Tuesday, July 2nd, 2019.

This is Peter Berry Chalka.

I'm filling in for Doug Hagman today

as a guest host for the next two hours.

And many of you listening or watching have probably heard, saw or read the news that

Doug first announced on this platform yesterday, Monday, July 1st, at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, and a special announcement posted at YouTube.

And if you did not, it's my very sad task now to inform you that Joe Hagman, Doug Hagman's son and the co-host of the Hagman

report from almost its inception in 2011 until last March.

Joe Hagman passed away at age 36 last Saturday, June 29th, 2019 at his home in Erie, Pennsylvania. Now this news is devastating to all of us who knew

and worked with Joe Hagman and judging by the reaction to Doug's video at YouTube, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are following this story and most of them are pretty distressed too. Doug's video yesterday has over 100,000 views now on YouTube and the whole hour long Hagman

report program yesterday that included Doug's announcement

is closing in on 200,000 views.

So it's an amazing outpouring of interest and support for Joe Hagman that's also reflected in thousands of

your comments that have been posted to YouTube.

As many of you probably know, I'm a regular contributor of independent content

to the Hagman report, usually on Mondays with an hour or more of political reporting and

analysis.

And tonight, that is Tuesday, July 2nd,

and also Friday, July 5th, I will be filling in for Doug as he processes the death of Joe Hagman, as he helps to plan

Joe's funeral this week, and as he assists local authorities with an investigation into Joe's death.

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, the plan is for the Hagman report to feature Steve Quayle and Pastor David Langford and on Thursday this week the 4th of July
