Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

As the announcer of this show, I sometimes ask myself, to what shall I compare Eric?

Shall I compare him to a summer's day?

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. But not Eric. I'll tell you nothing shakes this guy. And now here he is, wearing green leotards and a justus coxcomb, Eric Mataxis. Exiton, stage left. Folks, welcome to our two of the Ericman Taxus show. We've got John Zmirak coming up, yes, John Zmirak. But right now I'm talking to Judge

Janine Piro, who's been a friend of this president for decades. And you told me, Judge

Janine, in the previous hour, that on Saturday night, before you go on the air, the president

of the United States from Walter Reed Hospital calls you up.

I don't know why I find this so funny, but I do find it funny.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, it's just typical of the president.

He just never stops.

And, you know, I saw the number and I recognized the number immediately, and I said, that's the White House.

And Judge Janine, are you able to take a call

from the president? Duh, yeah. And, you know, I just said to the first thing in that when they say

you're connected to the president, Judge Janine, I say, Mr. President, please do not waste your voice.

Do not waste your energy. I want you to get better. Don't say word. I'm good. Everything's good. He said, Janine, and he sounded great. He said, I want you to know I'm fine. I want you to tell everybody that I'm fine. But more important, I want you to thank everyone for their prayers, for their well wishes, for their messages. And I see him outside the hospital. And that's why, you know, the next day,

you know, he takes to spin around to say, thank, he is so grateful for everything that everyone is

doing. And he wanted me to make sure to tell everyone because he, you know, he knows my show.

And it, you know, we have a pretty big following. And he wanted America to know that

he was just great. And I'm sure it's got to depress him, although I don't think much depresses him. You know, if he listens to the other channels, I mean, they, they thought it was, you know, Armageddon. He's 74. He ain't going to make it. That's it. Like, we got to stop the presses, stop the country, everybody down in the bunkers.

You know, and the president, as I said, he's like the analogy for, you know, what the country,

what he wants it to do. I'm up. I'm Adam. I'm ready to fight. And everyone is stunned.
