Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Folks, this is the Eric Metaxus show. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm Eric Metaxus, and this is the show.

It's the best we could do.

I think you learn to love it.

Albin and Chris are here.

Now, listen, I don't want Chris to come on screen if people are watching this until I've said a few things,

because Chris is holding the cutest bunny rabbit in the world,

and we're going to show you that cute bunny rabbit.

Now, if you're listening on radio, which most of you are, you're not going to get to see the bunny rabbit.

But Albin and I are going to gush to the extent that you're going to feel that you've seen the bunny rabbit.

It's the cutest bunny rabbit ever.

Okay. Yeah, I'm holding a cute picture of my wife when she was about 12. you're going to feel that you've seen the bunny rabbit. It's the cutest bunny rabbit ever.

Albin. Yeah, I'm holding a cute picture of my wife when she was about 25.

Okay, so we don't know. We don't want people to see that either. Only after I've made a couple of points. Three quick points that I have to get out of the way. Actually, even before the quick points,

I'm going to mention that.

Coming up in a few minutes, Naomi Wolf. Now, Naomi Wolf is politically liberal. She's pro-choice,

pro-abortion. She's, you know, anti-Trump or whatever, whatever you want. But when it comes to many things, like government

overreach, like the whole COVID vaccine and all kinds of stuff, she's on exactly the same

page as many of us. And so I think it's really valuable to talk to her about this because I find it fascinating

that people who have common sense, you don't care if you're on the left and the right, you agree on these things. She's one of these people. She's bright enough to see through the nonsense and to get this. And so we're going to talk to her. She and I were in the same class at Yale, class of 84. We We didn't really know each other then.

We knew of each other or something.

But I just find it so fascinating all these years later that we come out to be on the same page in something. She's really sweet and brilliant. And I'm thrilled that she's my guest. We'll have her on at the end of this segment. She'll come on. In hour two, we're going to have to ratchet down the intelligence level. It's just John Smirak. Oh, he's brilliant, but he's not a road scholar.
