| 0:00.0 | Hello there. It's Eric Erickson here. Glad to have you with me. The phone number here is 877-9-9-7-9-7-4-25. If you would like to be a part of the program, I got a buddy of mine coming on the bottom of the hour, Stephen Lawson. You know, the race that could decide the United States Senate is in Georgia. |
| 0:23.1 | Herschel Walker, football fame, is running in Georgia against Raphael Warnock. |
| 0:29.0 | There's a new outside group that has stepped up to take on Warnock, |

| 1:32.9 | Ten Republicans support it. |
| 1:34.7 | But Chuck Schumer won't pass the legislation. |
| 1:37.1 | He won't even bring it up for a vote. |
| 1:38.4 | He won't even bring it to the floor. |
