Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our 2.

Hello America. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. It is an open line Friday, 8779373-745.

You get to call in about topics off the beaten bath.

Anything you got a question about.

Just keep in mind, you still got to actually have a good question.

You'd be amazed at the number of people who call in who they're just not good callers and then they get upset because they don't get on the

program. I just got to make it past call skulskirts. He's not hard to get past if you're articulate, but I mean and not combative either. You know, you can actually call in the program and disagree with me on something and you can get on the program. It's possible. You just can't be a jerk. It's amazing how many times you've got to tell people that in any of it.

I want to move on, but before I do, the program. It's possible. You just can't be a jerk. It's amazing how many times you've got to

tell people that in any event. I want to move on, but before I do, Greg is on the phone

High bar for you. Thank you for that.

I don't know if I haven't seen anyone bring this possibility up, but, I mean, for one, you can't rule out a conviction called this deep blue New York.

You know, no matter how a week the case is, I mean, a judge and jury in New York could still find him guilty.

And my concern is if the Democrats play their cards right and wait until after the convention and Trump is officially nominated and then convict him, he'll be a convicted felon and therefore

ineligible to run for president,

which would lead the Republicans without a candidate at the last minute. And the Democrats can

just fly right back into the White House with no opposition. Ah, but there's a, there's a mistake in

your theory of what will happen.

This is why I said Greg's call is going to make me look good. So let me run through.

This is Article 1, or I'm sorry, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution.

No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution

shall be eligible to the office of the presidency, nor shall any person be eligible for that office
