Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our One.

Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. I am delighted to have you with me here where we can give you a dose of reality about what happened last night.

My goodness gracious.

Listen, I want to take your phone calls today.

87797-973-7-425, but hold off on them now.

Let me just talk to you about Joe Biden's speech last night.

Here, just so you have a little excerpt of it. Democracy endures only if we the people

respect the guardrails of the republic. Only if we the people accept the results of free and fair elections

only if we the people see politics not as total war but mediation of our differences

democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election either they

win or they were cheated and that's where the maggie republicans are today they don't understand

what every patriotic america knows you can't love your country only when you win it's fundamental

one more one more excerpt that the Republican Party today is dominated driven and intimidated

by Donald Trump and the Magna Republicans and that is a threat to this country. These are hard things.

But I'm an American president, not a president of red America, blue America, but of all America.

And I believe it's my duty, my duty to level with you to tell the truth, no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.

And here, in my view, is what is true.

Magu Republicans do not respect the Constitution.

They do not believe in the rule of law. They did not recognize the will of the people.

You know, the day that Donald Trump got the, was inaugurated, there were riots in Washington, D.C.

And Democrats claimed deep shame about the country having gone

towards Donald Trump. So it sounds to some degree to be a little bit of projection there.
