Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. Across the United States of America, the phone number is 877-9-9-7-3-74-25. Should you wish to be on the program?

Always happy to have you. As always, text Eric, E-R-I-C-K, to 33-77-77. I actually, I want to run an experiment because I'm curious.

If you are listening to me in the Metro Atlanta area, do not do this.

For the rest of you, if you're outside of the Atlanta area, you're not in the W-SP listening audience, my flagship station. Just because I can see it happen, I am curious. If you would text Eric, E-R-I-C-K, to 33-777, just pick up your phone, go to your text message app. The phone number is 3-3-7-7-7, then just the text word is Eric. E-R-I-C-K. If you'd

send it, I'm just actually, I'm kind of curious. Now, I want to begin this hour with phone call,

which is a case I've been meaning to talk about, and having Kerry call forces my hand to

talk about the case.

There's been so much other stuff happening this week.

I haven't been able to get to it, so I'm glad Carrie called.

Carrie, welcome to the Eric Erickson show.

Okay, great to talk to you.

I'm a first-time caller.

Thanks to my wonderful husband, who's a huge fan of yours.

Well, thank you. I listened this morning to the, yeah, who's a huge fan of yours. Well, thank you.

I listened this morning to the, yeah, I listened this morning to the world and everything in it,

and I heard their segment about the German homeschooling family.

They've lived in America for 15 years.

They've been seeking asylum here because it's illegal to homeschool in Germany,

and they've now been told that they have to self-deport by October 11th.

I was belly-a concern about it and the absurdity of the immigration department going after them.

And he said, we'll call Eric, ask him why.
