Welcome to the Eric Metaxa show.

I shouldn't tell you this, but Eric hired someone who sounds just like him to host today's show.

But since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you, don't be fooled.

The real Eric's in jail. Hey there, folks folks we don't normally do breaking news on this program but uh but today breaking news it is yeah it's not funny breaking

news that's the problem this is actually really tough stuff but we're gonna uh we're gonna go with

it um and by the way most of you are not listening to this live.

But we made a decision, basically, in the middle of the night, to go, to leap ahead.

We were going to start a campaign with food for the poor.

When were we going to start that?

I don't remember.

That was at the end of this month.

Okay, so obviously not for some weeks. We've worked with Food for the Poor many, many times in the

past, and they are a heroic Christian organization. But because of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the folks at Food for the Poor asked us if we would today ask you to help us raise funds.

Now, when they sent us this bulletin, they said the death toll in Monday's massive earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has now surged past 8,000 when they sent this to us not that long ago.

I just checked and it said that it has surged past 11,000.

By the time you hear me say this, I don't know where it will be. that it has surged past 11,000.

By the time you hear me say this, I don't know where it will be.

This is human suffering on a scale.
