Greetings, welcome. How are you? It is Eric Erickson here and the Eric Erickson show across the nation.

Delighted, absolutely staggeringly delighted to have you. All of you should know, particularly those of you on WOKV and WDBO down in Florida.

I have reached out to Governor DeSantis's office to see about

getting him on the program here in the next few weeks.

Not to talk about 2024 stuff.

You know, one of my frustrations on all this DeSantis stuff right now is everybody is focusing

on him, the left vilifying him, And the man's running for reelection.

He's not running for president of the United States.

He's running for governor, re-election, governor of the state of Florida.

There's a lot about Florida that has a national impact, and we should do justice to covering

the issues in Florida for our Florida audience, but relate them to the rest of you because there's so much out there, particularly down in Florida, given the environmental situation there and the economic situation, how do you balance the explosive growth and the economy with a lot of legit environmental concerns down there with the Everglades, the rise of the pythons, Miami sinking.

Whether you believe the oceans are rising or not, it's objectively true.

Miami literally is sinking.

And how do you balance all this stuff out?

And I just, I'm intrigued, like to have him on.

So I have asked.

Now, I don't want to talk about that right now, though.

I would like to talk about something else.

I need you to understand this story.

I need you to, like, get it into your bones.

The Democrats have a new fear.

No, no.
