| 0:00.0 | Greetings, welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number is 877-97-9773-7-4-25. Should you wish to be on this program, |
| 0:11.9 | you're more than welcome to call in so long as this is about something I'm going to talk about anyway. |
| 0:17.1 | I want to begin, of course, with Tucker Carlson. |
| 0:28.0 | I've kind of struggled on how to figure out how to talk about this one. |
| 0:43.5 | What Tucker Carlson is doing with his coverage of the videos from January 6th is no different from what every other media outlet is doing with their coverage of what's happening in Atlanta, Georgia with |
