Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello, America. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation.

The phone number, 87737-973-7-4 745, if you want to be on the program.

I need to get straight to it today.

Your phone calls are welcome, but let me talk for a few moments.

Max Boot is a columnist in the Washington Post.

Max Boot used to sit at the edge of the tables of Republicans and get their scraps and would bark and wag his tail excitedly when Republicans paid attention to him and patted him on his little bald head.

And then the Republican Party shifted and wanted no more to do with Max

Boot and his advice on wars abroad and foreign policy. And he became very upset that he was no

longer getting the scraps at the table of the Republican Party. And so he had to go find

scraps from elsewhere.

And has ever since barked hysterically at Republicans and wagged his tail at the leftists

who praise him in the Washington Post for his reliably unhinged columns against Republicans.

And he has done it again.

Max Boot proffers that if you vote for election denying Republicans,

some of whom the Democrats themselves funded,

you are committing to an end of democracy.

You have killed democracy by voting.

That is the hottest of hot takes.

The dumbest of all hot takes there is, that you voting democratically are killing democracy.

But it's not just Max Boot.

This is clearly the pattern that the Democrats have chosen to go with in the last two weeks of the election. Why? First of all, before I get to the audio here that you got to hear, you need to understand what's going on. Two years ago, there was a massive blue wave shaping up.
