Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

0:12.9

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

0:18.2

But since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you,

0:21.9

don't be fooled. The real Eric's in jail.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to Hour 2. I have as my guest, our friend Larry Taunton to talk

0:34.4

about everything. Larry, welcome back. How are you, Eric? Well, I woke up at 2.30 a.m. because I flew back from Europe. And when you fly back from Europe, it'll mess you up. You know, I said, I'm going to go to bed and I hope I'm going to get eight hours sleep. I didn't. So I woke up at 2.30. So this is, you know, for a few days, I'll be kind of wiggy and wacky, but it's, it's okay. The things that have been happening, I was literally on the plane yesterday.

1:52.3

That seems right to me, as much as I dislike Hillary Clinton. So it was kind of interesting that

1:56.7

the Clintons decided to get behind Kamala Harris. Is that just despite Barack Obama?

2:02.2

What do you think?

2:04.3

I think the barometer here is Barack Obama.

2:09.4

And maybe he's just creating drama, but his statement did not endorse Kamala Harris.
