Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

We'll get you from point A to point B.

But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own.

But if you'll wait right here in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by.

And now here's your Ralph Cramden of the airways, Eric Mott, Texas.

Hey, the folks, welcome to the program, I like to call it.

John Smirak, you are such a special guest on this program that we were willing to just do a phone connection.

Normally, we have to have our guests on video, but you're such a big shot now that you can demand only phone if you choose.

So welcome to show.

Thank you, Eric.

Now, of course, I want to talk to you about the news of the day, but I was at an event last night. Now, of course, I want to talk to you about the news

people like John Smirak live there are landlords that

that uh that actually you know think the way that we do uh it really was uh it was a very encouraging

event for me i have to tell you and i'm sorry you couldn't be there but i know that you've got

uh you've got a busy life.

Well, what I've got is dozens of an open boxes, I'm moving apartments into the house of this wonderful new landlord, who's a really good guy and a fellow believer in America

and in Christ.

But I've got two beagles who have to be taught that this new apartment is not a place to go to
