Hello there. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson show, the phone number 8779773-725. I got to begin the show with a tip of the hat to my buddy Chandler Brown over at Priority Jet. I got to tell you, that guy's wisdom on eating chili dogs at the Brave Stadium, I mean,

y'all, they're actually quite good, the chili dogs of the Braves team. I discovered

a Braves chili dog, 12 hours, almost like clockwork after having a chili dog. Well, today's was a little bit delayed,

but that's okay. It was the after effects. I had two last night. They were really good.

Listen, you never know what I'm going to talk about.

We're going to move on from that, but I just needed it documented.

Now, I got to begin by focusing on

two stories, one of which I talked about the other day. You know, you're on the bleeding

edge here. I was lamenting to Philip on the way into the studio today. I said, you know,

this is the downside of what we do is all of the major headlines.

All of the major stories that are out there today are the stuff I've already talked about on radio.

You're ahead of the curb.

One of those stories that everybody's talking about today is this one from yesterday by Edward Isaac DeVore at

CNN.

Two dozen leading Democratic politicians and operatives as well as several within the West Wing

tell CNN they feel this goes deeper than questions of ideology and posture.
