Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello America. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number 8779779373-725.

If you want to be on the program always glad to have you and

today of course is the post State of the Union review where we will take your

phone calls as well so you can react to the State of the Union let me begin

so today is what I sometimes call lazy radio. And I balance out two concerns.

And by lazy radio, I mean, it's just a lot of audio. And there's a lot of audio because I believe that you should be able to hear the people in their own words instead of me

characterizing it.

It's one reason we rarely will we play like a five or ten second audio clip because I feel

like some of you could say, well, you're taking him out of context.

I want you to have the context.

We've pared down the president's clips, but I want you to be able to hear him in his own words,

one of which I find a very curious statement, this from Joe Biden, about the attack on Paul Pelosi.

He brings this up, importantly, you need to understand.

Joe Biden continues to wish to claim that the Republicans are the real radicals. And because the Republicans are the real radicals, he wants to keep this in the public's mind.

He wants to keep the public alienated from Republicans, and so he wants to tie the Paul Pelosi attacker to the January 6th incursion into the Capitol.

The last few years, our democracy has been threatened and attacked, put it at risk, put to the test in this very room on January the 6th.

And then just a few months ago, an unhinged big lie, a sale and unleashed a political violence,

the home of the then speaker of the House representatives, using the very same language the insurrectionists

used as they stalk these halls and chanted on January 6th.

Now, here's the problem. That didn't actually have, yes, C.E. Storm the House.

Yes, he appears to be a Q&N adherent, or at least made claims like the Q&N people, but he did not use the language of stolen election.
