Hello, America. It's Eric Eriksson, broadcasting it from Ohio. I've only been up here once before for the Republican Convention back in, what, 2016?

Otherwise, have not been. I don't have time to stick around today, though, but I promise I will be back for those of you listing on WHO.

I'm excited to get back here to Dayton. A beautiful downtown, the Miami River going through downtown. The Dayton Art Institute drove past along the way from the airport. Gorgeous building there. Really neat. I want to go down and have ice cream at that dairy place down by Springfield and check on the Haitians. But don't have time today. I've got to drive over to Columbus as soon as I'm done and have a private event.

See, I'm not telling you where I'm going or anything like that.

I'm trying to do better.

Before I take phone calls this hour, and it is an open line Friday, 877-9-733-4-25, but before I do any of that, I actually want to have a real discussion with you on free speech.

The New York Times editorial gives rises because it really is for lawyers you should understand.

It's a pet peeve.

Now, I'm actually going to give my credentials here because I encountered someone the other night online who had no idea.

I was a lawyer for six years.

I didn't really like practicing law.

If I could have just practiced in the areas in which I liked, I'd probably still be a lawyer.

Mostly businesses, helping businesses.
