Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

As the announcer of this show, I sometimes ask myself, to what shall I compare Eric?

Shall I compare him to a summer's day?

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of

May. But not Eric. I'll tell you nothing shakes this guy. And now here he is, wearing green

leotards and a gestures coxcomb, Eric Mataxis. Exiton, stage left. Folks, welcome the Eric Mataxis show.

Oh boy, am I excited. Why? Because I have the man behind the film Uncle Tom. You know I've talked to

on this program about that film a number of times and we've had my friend and Salem faculty

colleague, as Sebastian Gorka puts it, Larry Elder on. Larry, congratulations on Uncle Tom, the film. I know it has been just

like kicking butt all over the country. People have had their eyes open. I mean, look, this is why

we do what we do. And when you have a success like this, we need to just celebrate. Well, I couldn't

be more excited. As I was telling you, it has exceeded my expectations, both financially and in terms of critical review.

And when you go on IMDB, that big international movie database, and you see the reviews that are posted up there.

Over a thousand of them, about 300 of them have done written reviews.

And from time to time, Eric, you'll find some liberal who kind of found his way to the movie, either because somebody dared him to see it or because he heard good things about it and sort of reluctantly paid the money to see it. I'm getting reactions like this. I assume the movie was about Larry Yelder. It is not. As you know, I'm barely in it. That would have been boring. The second thing is, I thought it was going to be a bunch of right-wing black people telling

people what to think. Instead, you're telling people that they are free to think. And that's exactly

the reaction I hope that I would be getting from the left. Well, that's the shock, isn't it?

That to tell people that they're free to think in America is suddenly a radical refrapping message but you know you know I know that

we need to be reminded of the basics over and over and over again because our

tendency is to drift that toward socialism and some kind ofanny. So it is a wonderful thing because I really do

believe that you know this, that the black American community has been taken for granted by the

Democratic Party for 50 years. And I really think finally we have enough, you know, reality and history
