Why, hello there. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the United States of America, and I am glad to have you with me.

The phone number is 877-97-9-73-725. It's the day before the 4th of July. I'm here live. I'm happy to take your calls. I'll be out tomorrow, but I will be here live on Friday. It just, I didn't want to run a best stuff two days in a row and I didn't want to try to, Charlie's on vacation, trying to scramble to find a guest host. So I just decided I will come in. I will do the show on Friday with Jim. We'll have a good time. The two of us, I don't know that I got a call screener on Friday because it is technically a vacation day for a lot of people. But I'll be here. And Lord knows what's going to happen in the next 24 or 48 hours. So probably big news. And I want to cover it anyway. So better be live for something like this. But I want to move on for a little while from the Biden. So I'll get back to it.

There's a lot of people on hold who want to talk about it. You do need to know this is breaking news.

Just a few moments ago, Joe Biden wrapped up a phone call with his campaign team, said he has no

intention of leaving the race. He's in it for the long call and he intends to win it. Now,

that can change on a dime, but that's where his mind is right now.

I want to go on to something else, though.

Many American news outlets at this point are having climate reporters funded by left-wing climate groups.

It's one of the many reasons you can no longer trust the American press corps.

In addition to the way they're covering Joe Biden, they cover climate with hysteria and doom saying,

trying to explain to you how terrible and awful things are right now in ways that are not necessarily true.

One of the worst has forever been Bill Weir at CNN, who's just a doomsday apocalyptic guy, super cheery.

He's a partisan progressive and you can tell it through his reporting.

The left every time it's summer and every time there's a heat wave tells you that it's going to be hot. They not only tell you it's going to be hot, but then they try to lie to you and tell you what is it actually the truth.

Part of it is, well, we got this volcano.

On January 15th, 2022, the Hungatonga-Tonga-Hunga-Hujape volcano in the Pacific exploded.

The volcano triggered tsunamis in the South Pacific.

It's in a massive plume of water.

150 million metric tons of water, 40 trillion gallons of water into the stratosphere.

Scientists have predicted because of it the next decade would be really hot.

When I pointed this out, a fact checker insisted that this was not so, Rachel Frazen, who wound up locking

her Twitter account. I want to read for you the headlines because this is very important
