Greetings conversationalists. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson. Delighted to have you with me across the nation.

The phone number is 877-973-7-4-25, should you wish to be on the program. Happy to have you.

Now, I want to talk about something.

It's not going to be for everybody, but I, it's kind of one of those things where you all know, me and impulse control, sometimes have it, sometimes don't.

There are things that I wish to talk to you about.

And I really, I think it's, it's important.

For some of you, it may be alienating.

But my gosh, I just, I got a, I got to, I got to deal with this one because it's cropping up more and more.

I get asked all the time, what do I think about so-and-so? Many of those people that I get asked about, they are online sensations.

And many of them, frankly, I think, are grifters.

I had a conversation last night about a particular person.

And the guy I was talking to really loves the guy.

I'm like, no, he's not doing what he claims.

He's making money off of conservatives who think he's doing what he claims.

He's a grifter. His organization

isn't putting points on the board. It's just wasting people's money on parties. It's not good.

Don't think he's a good person. Of course, this person was I was talking to was just shocked

and defensive. It was like, no, I understand you like the guy, but I think you're being played.

I find more and more, particularly in the last eight years after Trump, a lot of conservatives

are being fooled by people with bad motives or being lured into like people who really are not on their side,

and we on our side have seemingly just absolutely

lost our discernment.
