Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Greetings America, welcome. I hope you're doing well today. It's finally jacket weather around here.

Nice and cool just in time for trick-or-treating tonight. I'll have you know at my house. We have full-sized candy bars, not because I wanted to spend the money, but because I forgot to buy candy until all the bags with the minis were sold out. So we got the full-size bars, which is fine. I can give them to my kid's school and they can sell the excess at concessions if there is excess. The phone number here, if you want to be on the program,

87727-47-47-47-47-4-25, good Lord, 877-9-7-3-7-4-25. You can also text Eric E-R-I-CK to 33-777. Follow me around social media. In fact, I just want to tell you, I've got a book coming out. You will be as gods, the rise of the woke Gnostic left and their new religion. If you want to pre-order it, text Eric, E-R-I-C-K to 33-777. It's not available for Breeder yet, but if you text Eric to 33-777-7, when it is, I'll send you the link back. I'll text you the link when it's available. And you'll be able to order my new book. It'll come out at the beginning of the year, and it just explains that what we're seeing on the left is actually the rise of a very old Gnostic religion. It's nothing new. It's something very old. And if you understand that, you'll know how to confront it. We'll get there. Now, I actually want to begin the show today without talking about Hamas, Israel, the spending crisis

in Washington, Ronda Sanchez versus Nikki Haley. I want to talk about something else. Let's

talk about carjacking's because around the country there is a rise of carjackings in progressive enclaves.

And even people like the Washington Post editorial board are beginning to fret.

So the Washington Post editorial board, which has been a pretty go lax on crime, racial disparities,

oh, the poor bad guys.

They've now got an op-ed from the editorial board, not from an individual op-ed writer,

but from the editorial board, the voice of the paper, the conscience of the Washington Post.

As carjacking spike, police need to be able to chase vehicles again.

When a robber pointed a gun at Stephanie Trob's forehead and demanded her person carkey,

she didn't know a U.S. congressman had been carjacked at gunpoint an hour earlier.

While many were focused on

Representative Henry Quaylar on October 2nd, a Monday night, Ms. Trob was driving home from a pinball league.

She parked a block from her home about a mile east of the U.S. Capitol. She had never feared for her

safety before, but something felt off when she exited her vehicle and heard another car door slam nearby.

Then the gun was in her face.

Ms. Trob handed over her belongings. The gunman ran to her car and sped away.

She called 911 and D.C. police arrived swiftly.

Ms. Trob had an Apple device in her 2008 Honda SUV that enabled her to track it.
