Greetings and welcome conversationalists across America. I am back. Did you miss me? It's Eric

Erikson here, my show. The phone number 8779373425 if you would like to be on the program today,

although I may not get to you full disclosure, having been off the air for three days and we'll get to all that

travel schedule

were all involved it was a good but exhausting trip i've got a lot of ground i've got to cover

and we need to spend uh some serious time there is so much news happening uh and we got to revisit

some of the stuff uh thank you to Victor and Allen for filling in

last week while I was gone. Went to Las Vegas and to Park City, Utah for conferences to give

a round of speeches and sit on some panels. And it was great, exhausting, glad to be in my own

bed, glad to be back home. And we will have to talk about raw sugar.

But first, but first, we have news of the day.

And let's just say, in all honesty, someone needs to do an intervention with the Democrats.

I am increasingly worried about the Democrats.

Things are not well.

If you're a Democrat, you thought there would be an abortion bump in the polls.

There was, and then it went away.

It went away in a large part because the

inflation numbers are just so bad and now there is an absolute unequivocal meltdown over

Joe Manchin I wish to read for you a couple of key excerpts.

If you got my morning email,

you would have seen some of these excerpts.

But it gets even worse.
