Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our One.

I am back. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number 877-973973-7-4-25.

Happy birthday to Philip.

All of you who know him can light up his phones and say,

I wished him a happy birthday on air.

I specifically didn't text him this morning because I figured I'd let all of you

bothering while he's on vacation.

I did the show notes today, by the way, and they track the way I intend to do the show.

So if you want to subscribe, text data to 3377 and sign up for the show notes.

And you can get them.

They just hit my inbox, so they'll hit your inbox.

And we got to deal

with the breaking news. There's actually several bits of breaking news happening out of the gate. Tom

Embers looks set to be the Republican Speaker, Designee. You know, I wasn't sure he could pull it off,

given Trump's opposition to him, but some guy named Muser dropped out.

Gary Palmer got no votes.

Pete Sessions at Texas, he only got eight votes.

Whoever Bergman is didn't do well.

Scott Hearn didn't do well.

Donald's, Byron Donald, wound up dropping out.

It left Mike Johnson and Tom Embers, and Emers looks like he's winning.

So that's interesting.
