| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson show across the nation. The full number is 8779-7-3-7-4-25. Well, I got to put everything in context where we will get to Scott Perry. We will get back to Mar-Alog and all that, but we got to talk about the economy. It actually is the biggest story of the day. |
| 0:22.8 | I've got to put in context for you a lot of what happens around this time of year. |
| 0:27.0 | Typically what happens, as I have mentioned ad nauseum, Republicans are getting their kids back to school, |
| 0:34.2 | taking last-minute vacations, the mid-Atlantic states and up tend to go back to school right after Labor Day. Southern schools tend to go back to school taking last minute vacations. The mid-Atlantic states and up tend to go back |

| 1:29.4 | wrong, so why bother? There are a series of stories in the media going through today about the giant |

| 1:46.2 | The media stories create a self-perpetuating feedback loop where the Democrats feel pretty good about themselves right now. |
