This is one of those hard days. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number 877-97-9-7-3-4-25.

Hello to those of you on WDBO in Orlando, Florida. Nice to be with you noon to three. This is one of those hard days because there are so many stories I really, really want to talk about

Taco Gate. Oh my gosh, I want to talk about Jill Biden and Jill, not Joe, what Jill said

about the, about his panning people, compared them to breakfast tacos. I'm not kidding. But I

actually think, now, I'm going to deviate from what you may otherwise hear in conservative talk because I think this probably is the bigger story.

There are two of them.

And it's the two stories that if you're listening to talk ready, you may not care a ton about, but you need to.

And I want to explain to you why, because this really is,

this really is important. And they're foreign policy stories. Joe Biden is headed to Saudi Arabia.

Now, for those who don't know, I grew up in Saudi Arabia, or now I shouldn't say I grew up in

Saudi Arabia, grew up in Dubai near Saudi Arabia, I have been to Saudi Arabia. Now, I shouldn't say I grew up in Saudi Arabia. I grew up in Dubai near Saudi Arabia.

I have been to Saudi Arabia.

When I was a kid, my dad worked for conical oil.

My dad is actually from Crowell, Florida.

My uncle Leaf Erickson, yes, Leif Erickson lives in Winter Park now.

Most of my dad's family stayed in Florida.

He moved to Louisiana, went to Mississippi College, married my mom, had been a Boy Scout fundraiser, been a teacher and a coach, and then fell into the oil business.

And by the time I came along, that's what he did.

He worked for Conoco and the Gulf of Mexico.

And when I was about five years old, they said, pack up and move and we moved to Dubai.

I grew up in the Middle East.

From 5 to 15, that's where our family lived.
