| 0:00.0 | Hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Eriksson here. The phone number is 8779773-725 if you want to be on the program. |
| 0:13.4 | Martha from Alpharetta, Georgia, email me and said, be fair, invite Kelvin King to your show. |
| 0:18.3 | I said I was invited every single one of the Republican candidates. |
| 0:21.8 | We'll have all the Republican senators from Georgia with me at some point in the near future. |
| 0:26.8 | I hope. We're going to work on getting those scheduled before the primary so people can hear from them. |
| 0:31.4 | Now, we've got to go to the national stuff because holy cow, things are just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad for the Democrats. Here's Tom Bevin from real clear politics, putting this in perspective. Yeah, it's difficult. I mean, the Democrats are kind of stuck. You know, voters have no one to blame but Democrats. They control the House. They control the Senate. They control the White House. And so as they look around themselves and see, you know, eight and a half percent on inflation, $5 gas, prices up at the grocery store, they're not feeling very good about things. And the problem that the Biden has and that the Democrats have is they think it's a communication problem. Biden just said this is the other day. People just don't, they don't understand. |
| 1:11.6 | And that's not a winning message to insult voters and say, listen, if you just weren't dumb and you can just see all the good we've done for you, |
| 1:20.6 | that is not a message that's going to win people to the polls. And so I think they're really stuck, |
| 1:26.6 | and there's no indication that things |
| 1:28.3 | are going to be turning around. The best news for Democrats right now is the election is still six |
| 1:31.4 | months away. There is time to claw back and for Biden to win back some points on his approval |
| 1:36.9 | rating. But as of right now, they don't seem to have any sort of plan on how to do that. |
| 1:41.8 | We, in all honesty, we got to talk about this. I know going into this, I was at one point |
| 1:50.5 | an elected Republican. I am a partisan. I am of the right. I endorsed Donald Trump in 2020. |
| 2:01.8 | I get it. |
| 2:03.7 | But I am just profoundly amazed at what's going on with the Democrats right now. |
| 2:14.4 | Tyler Pager at the Washington Post has the story. Here's the headline. |
| 2:20.3 | Democrats approach a midterm message, but struggle to deliver it. President Biden has stepped up his domestic travel schedule hitting the districts of numerous vulnerable |
| 2:36.8 | Democrats. He has resumed in-person fundraiser, and he is fine-tuning a message criticizing |
| 2:43.5 | the GOP as an off-the-rails force that ain't your father's Republican Party. As an anxious |
| 2:48.9 | Democratic Party hurdles toward the midterm elections, led by a president |
| 2:53.0 | whose approval ratings have dropped precipitously, Biden is beginning to put the pieces together |
