Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show. Did you ever see the movie The Blobs starring Steve McQueen?

The blood-curdling threat of the blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his

scene because the blob was supposed to eat him.

But he kept spitting him out.

Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster.

Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest.

Eric, the Texas!

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to Wednesday, the 17th of September.

Today in hour two, I'm talking to my friend Mike Wilkerson about the news of the week,

the death of my friend, the murder of my friend Charlie Kirk.

A lot that I want to talk to you about.

And I'm glad to be able to do it with our friend John Zmirak today in hour one.

John, welcome back.

Eric, I was it a pleasure to talk to you.

Last time we did the show was while Charlie was still with us,

and I feel like we've turned a corner and living a different world for worse,

but also in some strange ways for better,

because it's always better to know what's really happening.

And the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, as you recalled it,

and there's a great piece at the Center for Baptist Leadership comparing Charlie Kirk and Dietrich Bonhoeffer directly.

It showed what's in the hearts of a lot of Americans in positions of influence and power.
