Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello America, welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. It's a free for all today on the phone.

It's 877973-725. Glad to have you with me. I hope the weather is great

wherever you are. Now, I did put on the tux last night. Didn't get to really spend a lot of

time with Luke Bryan. I was kind of hoping to say hi, just only in passing, did get to see Governor Kemp and his family last night.

The inaugural gal, my gosh, there were a lot of people.

I'm kind of glad my, so my wife wound up not being able to go.

She wasn't feeling great.

And there were so many people there.

I'm kind of glad she's got really bad crowd anxiety. And backstage

was fine. There was nobody back there, but just waiting through the crowd to get in and out.

There were a lot of people. Like every five feet, somebody wanted to stop and take a picture,

shake my hand. One guy wanted technical support on a software program.

All I can tell you is it was a lot of fun.

I was glad to do it.

But I was glad I got to be backstage and not in the crowd.

And Luke Bryan seems like a very nice guy.

Now, I want to begin.

And I, you know, I got to say it lovingly and I'm deeply frustrated.

I, there, so I was the emcee for Brian Kemp's inaugural gala in Georgia last night, and I put up a couple of pictures and multiple people have put up comments.

In fact, let me read you some of the comments that have been left in just some of the random pictures that I put up. And it's just people really are upset about the governor going to the World Economic Forum.

One guy says too bad Brian Kemp is going to Davos.
