Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

It's the show you've all been waiting for. Until now. Until literally right now.

Literally right now. Literally. Now your host, Eric Mataxis.

Hey there, folks. It's the Eric Mataxis show. It's a slow news day. The president got the coronavirus.

That's all I can think of. Honestly, when I read that this morning early, I, you know, it's one of those things you think there's news and then
