| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our One. |
| 0:13.5 | Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson across the nation. Glad to have you with me today. |
| 0:18.9 | My goodness gracious, we got to spend a lot of time talking non-political stuff, but this |
| 0:24.7 | first hour, I actually want to spend probably more time than I should on the Trump stuff. |
| 0:32.0 | And I want to take it from a couple of angles. |
| 0:34.8 | First, I want to begin with this montage that the media that can't define a woman |

| 1:34.5 | Because anybody on this set had done the same thing, the exact same result would have occurred. |
| 1:39.9 | A judge would not sign off on that if there were not evidence. |
| 1:43.7 | Sources to tell me that, you know, there's a reason. They wouldn't go in there if it wasn't really significant. If they didn't, they weren't really concerned about the nature of the classified information that Trump had, what he might be doing with it, who he might be showing it to. These are real national security concerns. And the fact that a federal judge approved it shows that, hey, they've got something there. |
