Hey, folks, guess what comes after hour one? You can count on it. It's called hour two. There's no hour three. So what comes after hour two is hour one again.

But hour one, we were talking to Kevin McCullough.

I shared some of my thoughts.

But hour two, we get to talk to our dear friend.

He is on assignment at the Vatican.

Our friend John Smirak, John, welcome.

Hi, Eric, how you doing? This is actually behind me is a photo of the national mall in uh on december 31st 2021 i have the photo of

the future so this see the rubble behind us that used to be the lincoln memorial yeah that is

unbelievable uh is that as a result of the earthquakes that are coming?

I got up 4.45 a.m., which kind of like you, I'm not an early riser, but I got up in Lynchburg, Virginia,

so I could catch a flight to catch a flight and arrive in time to watch, you know, no matter where you stand

politically, it was bizarre. I mean, to see an inauguration with no people, I guess, let me start

there, because I would just like to ask folks like you these questions.

Maybe you have better answers.

I couldn't really figure out why there were no people there.

In other words, couldn't you have metal detectors if you were afraid that somebody's going to like, you know, try to kill the president?

Why couldn't they have a crowd?

Okay, there's COVID. So what? People

wear masks or you can have a little bit of social distancing. Why were there no crowds for this
