Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 3.

Hello, America. It is Eric Erickson, the third hour of the Eric Erickson show. The phone number 877-977-37-9-737-4-25.

I am so glad to have you guys with me.

I'm going to rely a little bit on your phone calls here for this segment in large part

because after too many weeks of talking, I just have this perpetual sore throat at this point.

And it has everything to do with the amount of talking I have done in the last, gosh, three weeks. I always get like this

by the time the election is over. The amount of TV and radio hits I've done. I want to actually

spend some time, though, before I get into your calls and all of you on hold, I will start taking your calls to the segment.

But let me talk for just a moment before I do.

I talked, did a monologue addressing members of Congress.

I want to do one addressing my friends

in the conservative movement

and the Republican Party.

And I want to say something that is somewhat counterintuitive.

And I want to start with a caveat,

yes, I do think there are people in politics

opposed to me on the right who do not

like this country. And I do think there are malicious people who want to ruin this country.

I think there are people who claim to be on my side who want to do that as well. The so-called

alt-right, the people who on our side have embraced white politics, I find that ad about white grievances.

It was not a smart ad and probably alienated independent voters in parts of Georgia.

There was an ad I saw and it was a nationwide ad about white grievances and the Democrats are out to get white people and the like.
