Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

Please keep your arms of legs inside the car at all times.

This is your final warning.

Now here's your host, Mr. Thrill Ride himself, Eric Mataxis.

Hey, everybody. Thank you, Todd. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. It's Albin Sater. I'm the producer of the

Eric Mattaxas show. And I'm here with the other producer of the Eric Mattaxas show. Chris

Heimes. Hello, Chris. Hello. Good morning. How are you? Hey, good morning. Oh, good morning. Yes. Now, you have a background there of New York City. And of course, in a moment, we're going to talk about our experience of that particular tragic day here in the country. But don't want to have everything as a downer this morning. I happen to notice, because I'm looking at myself here on the screen, I a few days ago I had a haircut and when you have as few follicles on your head as I do,

whenever you get a haircut, you kind of look like a balloon wearing glasses. So I'm wearing,

I'm growing a goatee. You can also notice that. My wife doesn't like it, but it makes me look like less of a balloon. It looks good, Alvin. It looks good. Oh, really? Oh, well, thank you. I appreciate that. I think I look a little more adult. And I'm not wearing my hat today either. If you're watching on YouTube, and by the way, subscribe to our YouTube channel, we really need the subscribers. And if you're wondering about

Eric, I mean, he really wanted to be here, but he is traveling at this very moment. So we don't

have the big man himself, Eric, the taxes for you, but you do have Chris and you do have

Albin. That's, that's me. In about 10 minutes, we're going to get back to that

wonderful interview that Eric is doing with Michael Orrin. The Knight Archer is his book, and of course,

he's a former Israeli ambassador. So he has a lot to say about what's going on in the country and

what's coming up down the road. So stay tuned for that. The other thing is, we're trying to keep it

fun today. This is Friday, and, you know, sometimes we have Fun Facts Friday. Today, I have my

cardboard cutouts behind me, again, if you're looking on YouTube, and I have the Hamster Holmes

Box of Mysteries, which, by the way, if you donated last month to food for the poor,

you got a box, all six from Simon & Schuster, Hamster, Hamster, my book series of the

crime-solving hamster. And we're having another campaign coming up in October. So if you donate

$1,000-plus to Alliance Defending Freedom,

and that's another big one, Alliance Defending Freedom,
