Hello America. It's Eric Erickson here. My show across the nation. The phone number is 877-97-9-373-7-4-25. If you want to be on the program, it's open line Friday. We've spent all week taking very few phone calls. I'll be gracious. It's a little bit before Christmas. I'm going to step away for the Christmas

holiday. So today's your lucky day. However, I want to talk first about this Ben Sass piece. Now,
