Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson show. Glad to have you with me. My goodness gracious. What a time to be alive. It is really, well, it's something out there.

All right. We got to get into the news here because the Jeff Zucker situation continues to develop.

But there's something larger here.

There are a series of stories that are not connected, but they're worth getting into.

And so I need you to bear with me while I weave some stories together.

First of all, we need to go back to Jeff Zucker.

It's important that we revisit the situation here.

Jeff Zucker is out at CNN. Jeff Zucker was the president of CNN. Jeff Zucker had an affair with the chief of marketing who apparently he ushered her around in BC, tried to place her at places, ultimately got her into Andrew Cuomo's office and then brought her over to CNN.

It was she, the mistress, who convinced Andrew Cuomo to come on CNN regularly with Chris Cuomo.

It was she who did this.

It violated the standards at CNN.

But they did it anyway.

They thought it would make great TV.

So they did it anyway.

Now, can you imagine, can you imagine the outrage CNN would have for another organization that did this? By the way, why does she still have a job? Why does the mistress still have a job at

CNN? Is it because it wasn't consensual? We know it was consensual. Or maybe Zucker was out for

some other reason. Everybody's blaming Chris Cuomo here.

Sounds like Chris Cuomo got it out there.

But if the ratings were good at CNN, this could have been protected.

I want to play you this clip.
