Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show, glad to have you with me.

The phone number is 87797 Eric 87797937-3425.

I, first of all, a quick programming note, actually a real thank you. Clark's Christmas Kids, by 8.30

Friday night, which is the first time we were able to get all the presents needed. Now, this is

important because, you know, I use my text messaging service and I get an alert every time someone uses the service and gives me

the area and I am on in delay in Tulsa, Oklahoma on K-R-M-G and in Dayton, Ohio on WHIO,

and in Orlando on WDBO and Jacksonville, W.KV.

And those stations continuously throughout the night, all night long, had people texting and donating.

And so it's not just my audience. It's so many people across the WSB market in Atlanta who made that happen. But then these stations outside the state and those in North Carolina and those in Arizona, I saw people texting through. So all of you across the network I was a

little bit skeptical about doing this across the network on Friday because it is

kind of Georgia specific but so many of you across the nation stepped up thank you

very very much every child in foster care in Georgia will have a present for Christmas,

thanks to you guys. So I appreciate it very much. I know Clark Howard does as well. Tremendous

effort. Now, having said all of that, I hate to use this phrase, but I'm going to.

I'm going to be a bit of a turd in the punch bowl on something completely unrelated to that.

We need to talk about climate change and what happened this weekend.

Because there is a push now through the media and the administration to go climate change on everything.

One of the big trends we have seen in the last 10, 15 years is where any significant weather happens,

Democrats and the media start screaming climate change. They start screaming that it's all about climate change.

Here's the president of the United States over the weekend,

talking about the terrible tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee and Kentucky,

killing hundreds of people.
