Well, hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Eriksson here. The phone number 8779373-745, should you wish to be on this here program. There is news out of the gate today. No, not about the Supreme Court. That hadn't come yet.

For the first time in 150 years, the Republican Party has done something, and it is a harbinger of doom

Myra Flores flipped the 34th Congressional District of Texas. Now that obviously has not for 150 years been the 34th Congressional District, but the land down there, Cameron County, Texas is the heart of that district. For 150 years, it has been a Democratic stronghold. It is the second largest Hispanic district in the country.

Now, this is the second time in 100 years.

The GOP has managed to flip a Rio Grande Valley Democratic stronghold.

Conservatives say Hispanic outside of Southern, conservative said to say Hispanic.

Outside of Southern California, New York, Hispanic tends to be more common even within the

Hispanic Latino community than Latino. But this is actually a very, very big deal. Now, there are some

caveats here you need to know. First of all, this is a special election. If you're a longtime

listener to this program,

if you've ever heard me give a speech about these sorts of things or seen me on TV, even

predating me coming on radio, I am a big believer in telling people special elections don't mean
