Hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here all across America. The phone number is 877-97-9-373-7-4-25. I would like to begin by playing you a piece of audio.

It is from Chris Christie on this week with George Stephanopoulos.

You're doing your best, but when 64% of your own party says a year and a half into your presidency,

thanks but no thanks, that does reflect, I agree with you, the frustrations of Democrats, some because they don't think he's done enough, and some because they think he's done too much.

And so you've got kind of the mansion wing of the party, the more moderate wing of the party who's saying, you know, slow down here, we'll get this inflation, look at the kitchen table issues that the Democrats are losing on right now.

And then you've got the progressive wing of the party who says, we need to do more and

you've blown these opportunities.

Joe Biden is in no man's land.

He can't keep the moderates happy.

He can't keep the progressives happy.

And that's an awful place to be as an office holder when you don't have anybody.

The last thing I'd say to John quickly is that for Democrats, they would love to make

2022 about Donald Trump.

They would love to, but it's not about Donald Trump.

It's about inflation.

It's about gas prices.

It's about crime in the streets.

If you're in New York or Washington or Boston or Chicago or Los Angeles, San Francisco, it's about crime.

And Democrats are not doing well on those issues.

They're not.

That's the ultimate bottom line here.

Democrats really did think, and some of them still do actually think that there's an abortion bounce in the polling.
