Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. Glad to have you with me today. The phone number,

if you want to call in and be a part of the program, 877-973-725. I won't take up a ton of time at this

moment. We'll talk about it later, but I got to say the NFL playoff games last night were the best

I have ever seen preceded by the day before, which were the best I have ever seen, preceded by the day before,

which were the best I'd ever seen, preceded by the weekend before, which were the best,

just this is phenomenal, phenomenal.

And they're getting stellar ratings across the board, no politics, no, no flag and

police protests.

People are just watching the game and it's great. We'll get to that.

But I having thought about this a lot, I want to do a bit of a reset. I want to begin again

anew with everybody, if you will, putting some stuff in perspective in large part because

a lot of

emails I've gotten in the last week from people who seem a little desperate, seem a little upset,

seem a little out of sorts. And I want to just put everything in perspective for you right now,

starting with politics and transitioning.

Because people seem a little more threatful than I think they should be.

And I understand why,

which is where I want to get to out of the gate here.

So just bear with me here.

Follow along, listen.

When you get mad at me, just keep listening

and maybe we'll turn a corner here.
