Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

Hey, for you Eric Mataxis trivia buffs out there, Eric's Secret Service codename is El Jerko.

Please make note of it.

And now the man who'll deny it, but it's true anyway. Here's El Jerko himself. My friend, Eric Matazzo. Folks, this is our two. Coming up, my conversation, George Papadopoulos, Greek, you say? Yes, Greek. That's why I'm having him on for no other reason. George Papadopoulos, he's talking about the whole Mueller thing. Right now,

I'm going to talk about something very important. I want everyone to listen. I would love you to share

this video or this news with all of your friends, because I consider this very important. We're talking to

my dear friend, Larry Taunton. Larry, welcome. How you doing, Eric? I'm doing great. You have a brilliant idea, and I want you to share it.

We don't have a ton of time, but it is so important. I want to get this message out today on Monday.

So what is this idea?

Yeah, the idea here is very simple, Eric, that, you know, we are seeing a kind of creeping government that's edging

towards tyranny. Some would say that we're already there. I mean, with irrational lockdowns,

with mask mandates, and these kinds of things. And the idea is simply this, that the American people need a holiday

from lockdowns. I mean, I'm in the state of the beautiful state of Alabama, where fortunately

rationality still prevails. And I've just returned from Florida where the same thing. But there

are those people who are in states like New Mexico, California, New York, Michigan, where it seems that all common sense is lost and you feel that government is testing the boundaries of exactly what they can get away with.

I mean, we're dealing with hypocrites here who, you know, Gavin Newsome goes to a, you know, to a big gathering where it's quite clear. No one is wearing a mask and they're not social distancing and Nancy Pelosi got on. And it's it's the same thing.

Fancy Nancy. Nancy, listen, my friend, fancy Nancy Pelosi, she doesn't have to play by the rules, the little people

like you and me have to play by. And Governor Hairedo, whatever his name is, honestly, when I read

some of the stuff that he and other governors, Governor Whitmer of Michigas, I guess that's your case.

I got to tell you, every American should be offended and should say absolutely not.

I will not comply.

This is an offense to me as an American.
