Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show with your host, Eric Mataxis.

Hey there folks, have you heard of Kurt Schlikter?

Neither of I, but he's my guest actually I'm making that up.

Not only have I heard of him, but I'm a fan.

This is there some people that not only speak truth,

but they speak it with Elan, Shuaad Aviv, Humor, all that good stuff.

Kurt Schlikter is my guest right now.

He has a new book out called Will Be Back, The Fall and Rise of America.

Kurt Schlikter, welcome.

Hey, thanks for having me.

It's right that you know of me.

I'm an amazing person.

I'm modest, we're shy, retiring.

I'm a simple trial lawyer from Los Angeles.

So you know that I'm a kind of down to earth person who really,

really has his feet on the ground.

Well now in all seriousness, how do you,

how do you come to be somebody who writes about the things you're doing?
