    Judgment Day in Florida; Iran Rearms

    Florida goes to the polls and Erick Erickson makes the case that Republicans should fire Cory Mills in Florida's 7th, where former Orlando news anchor Ryan Elijah is polling ahead of a congressman under investigation for steering contracts plus revenge porn and abuse allegations. He coins "Podcastistan" for the circle of podcasters (Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, Thomas Massie, James Fishback) who interview each other about hating the Jews, and asks whether Dan Bilzerian's anti Israel campaign against Randy Fine gets any traction. Then the story almost nobody is covering: the diesel crack has hit a record $102 as Iran hammers refineries and the Strait of Hormuz, Russia is shipping TNT and drone parts across the Caspian, and NBC News, the Wall Street Journal, and Al Jazeera all report Iran now believes war is inevitable and is weighing a first strike. Cory Mills versus Ryan Elijah in Florida 7, and why Erick Erickson says the GOP loses the seat in November if Mills survives the primary Podcastistan: Dan Bilzerian versus Randy Fine, James Fishback for governor, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene's Jewish space lasers and her claim Trump will nuke Iran, plus Byron Donalds cruising The double standard: Democrats forced out Eric Swalwell (the Fang Fang confession) and Graham Platner, while Trump wrapped his arms around Max Miller in Ohio Troy Jackson's Maine problem, Donna Brazile calling it salacious gossip, and the fake Dan Sullivan ballot trick in Alaska The Atlanta Dream, the national anthem, and a mother and daughter in XX XY shirts forced to change while a trans fan got the jumbotron, plus Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the WNBA subsidy The diesel crack at a record $102, distillate stockpiles at 1996 lows, Russia rearming Iran across the Caspian, the UAE missile alert, Dana Perino on a communications reset, and Erick's case for striking Iran first and fomenting a civil war there

    Our Spending Problem

    Erick Erickson closes out the Flock camera fight with three callers, including a Metro Atlanta police officer, a listener whose cousin was killed by a hit and run driver the cameras identified, and a caller who wants a warrant requirement, and lands on a middle ground: keep the cameras, and give police who abuse the data mandatory prison time, like the Haines City, Florida officer charged with tracking his estranged wife's car 717 times in 21 months. Then Abdul El-Sayed and Florida DSA candidate Oliver Larkin make the Democratic Socialist case for abolishing private insurance, and Erick answers with the story of a healthy sole proprietor whose post Obamacare plan only works if he goes to the emergency room. The heart of the hour is debt and deficit: the 30 year treasury hit 5.323 percent, a 19 year high, the diesel crack is over $100 for the first time ever, and American families are now taking out buy now pay later loans to cover rent, power bills, and tax bills. TOPICS Flock cameras and civil liberties: callers David, Tom, and Jeremy, the City Journal numbers (24 homicides, 17 hit and runs, 31 shootings, and more than 50 children recovered this year), Haines City officer Christopher Anthony Goodson charged after 717 searches on his estranged wife, and why the Democratic Socialists of America started the campaign against the cameras Abdul El-Sayed on single payer, DSA candidate Oliver Larkin versus Jared Moskowitz in Florida's new District 25 from Boca Raton to Miami Beach, and the friend whose Obamacare plan covers only the emergency room Debt versus deficit explained: the 30 year treasury at 5.323 percent, the 10 year above 4.7 percent, July CPI at 3.4 percent against a 2.4 percent rate before the Iran war, and the record diesel crack that is about to raise your grocery bill Buy now pay later comes for the middle class: Affirm financing monthly rent, Intuit pitching file now pay later to TurboTax users, and Erick's beans and rice answer to the Washington think tank class that calls him an elitist California Energy Commission votes to phase out cheap replacement tires, eliminating 70 percent of tires sold in the state by 2033, with Goodyear's Brett Gladfelty warning about cost, plus the DeKalb County "tag applied for" loophole and the Atlanta man with a street legal pink Barbie Jeep

    People are getting South Korea Wrong

    Erick Erickson explains what the media is getting wrong about President Trump cutting back joint military exercises with South Korea: the real driver is a Seoul government drifting toward China, not an attempt to woo Kim Jong-un, and Trump keeps undermining a defensible decision with his own social media. He walks through Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal column on Trump's collapsing approval numbers and lame duck status, the JD Vance camp's "America in decline" argument against Marco Rubio's case for American strength, and why Ronald Reagan beat Henry Kissinger and Jimmy Carter's politics of managed decline. Then the story he refused to chase until now: Admiral Brad Cooper's Wall Street Journal piece on the USS Abraham Lincoln, the fake videos seeded by Iranian propaganda, and the planned rotation of the USS George Washington that the press recast as a crisis. Trump, Kim Jong-un, and the South Korea drills: the China concerns inside the US military and intelligence community that nobody is reporting Peggy Noonan on Trump's 39 percent approval, The Economist's 34 to 61 poll, and a president who is now a lame duck JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and the fight over whether America is in decline or should lead again, with Reagan versus Kissinger, Carter, and Brzezinski Terry McAuliffe and Rahm Emanuel tell Democrats to stop fighting the socialists as the DSA wears the party like a skin suit USS Abraham Lincoln: Admiral Brad Cooper's report, Iranian propaganda videos, the crippled Bahrain base, and Erick's childhood hosting the Fifth Fleet in Dubai

    Third-Worldism and the Vice President

    Erick Erickson makes his sharpest case yet against Vice President JD Vance, arguing that Vance is to economics what Candace Owens is to the Charlie Kirk assassination: a professional contrarian who lands on the fringe answer and calls it heterodoxy. Erick plays three separate Vance clips (a think tank, the Senate floor, and Fox News) in which the vice president calls America's reserve currency status a "resource curse" that lets American consumers buy things too cheaply, then walks through the Heritage Foundation research on what the dollar actually buys you: cheaper mortgages, cheaper car loans, cheaper groceries, lower inflation and lower interest rates than anywhere else on earth. He notes that China, Russia, the Democratic Socialists of America, Tucker Carlson, and Vladimir Putin's favorite philosopher Alexander Dugin all want the dollar dethroned, and plays President Trump saying flatly that losing it means third world status. Then a Wall Street Journal scoop that should terrify Republicans: Iran is preparing to widen the war on purpose to spike gas prices and cost the GOP the midterms. TOPICS JD Vance, the "resource curse," and why Erick Erickson says abandoning reserve currency status would turn America into a third world country Candace Owens, Hasan Piker, and the "it was the Jews" conspiracy that erased Tyler Robinson's confession in the Charlie Kirk murder Heritage Foundation research on the dollar: Charles de Gaulle, the BRICS nations, seigniorage, cheap borrowing, and exports up tenfold in 50 years The resource curse Vance misunderstands: Nigeria, Venezuela, and Botswana versus Norway's two trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund Iran's plan to escalate before the midterms: the IRGC, the Houthis, Bab al-Mandeb, Masoud Pezeshkian, and the Pentagon's missing demand signal to Raytheon and Lockheed Dianne Feinstein's pseudoephedrine ban as the perfect parable, plus Mark Thiessen, the $20 burrito, and cheap toasters

    The Tragedy of Jason Arday

    Erick Erickson devotes the first half of the hour to a story he says you should know even if you do not want to: Jason Arday, the Cambridge University sociology professor and serial fabulist who took his own life after the Guardian, the Times Higher Education, and the Daily Telegraph unraveled a biography that was almost entirely invented. Erick walks the whole record, the plagiarized Liverpool John Moores thesis, the harassment complaints filed against the academics who caught him, the masked knifeman and the pig's head that closed circuit television and the Metropolitan Police could never find, the visiting professorships that Glasgow and Ohio State say never happened, and argues the real culprits are the white progressive elites who elevated an unqualified man to prove their own allyship, then blamed his critics when it collapsed. He runs the same pattern through Elizabeth Warren at Harvard, Ibram Kendi, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Duke lacrosse case, and the Rolling Stone hoax at the University of Virginia. The back half turns to a Democratic Party in a panic, with Hakeem Jeffries, Ro Khanna, and Rahm Emanuel all scrambling to put distance between themselves and the Democratic Socialists of America. Jason Arday, Cambridge, and Liverpool John Moores: the plagiarism, the fabricated marathons and charity millions, and the police reports filed against the professors who exposed him Why Erick Erickson says the villains are the white academic elites who graded a man on a curve, from Elizabeth Warren and Ibram Kendi to Nikole Hannah-Jones, with Thomas Sowell as the counterexample Harry Enten on CNN: Donald Trump at 79 percent disapproval on gas prices, worse than Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush, with gas still above $4 Hakeem Jeffries, Ro Khanna, and Rahm Emanuel run from the DSA, plus why the Democratic Socialists really want the flock cameras gone The 2026 map: Mike Rogers up in Michigan, Ken Paxton in trouble in Texas, Susan Collins tied in Maine, and Republican sore spots in Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia Cory Mills in Florida's 7th and Max Miller in Ohio's 7th: two scandal plagued incumbents who could cost Republicans Vivek Ramaswamy, Jon Husted, and the House Trump's slipping grip on his own party in the Axios polling, the lame duck problem, and why the courts are what Republicans are really fighting for

    The Pessimists

    Erick Erickson wades into the fight between Ben Shapiro and the Federalist's John Daniel Davidson over whether the American dream still works, and answers with a date: ten years ago his wife would be dead, because the lung cancer treatment that saved her did not exist yet. Using C.S. Lewis and the fifteenth Screwtape letter, he takes apart the professional pessimism spreading across the online right and makes the case for contentment. Then CNN's Harry Enten says he is running scared for Republicans as Democratic primary turnout blows past 25 million, and Erick argues over whether culture or the economy decides November, from Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan to Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Ken Paxton in Texas. Ben Shapiro versus John Daniel Davidson on whether hard work and virtue still pay off, and Erick's precise rebuttal: his wife's lung cancer drug, next day delivery, the end of Roe v. Wade, and the Supreme Court on trans care for minors C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, and the fifteenth letter: why idealizing the past or fearing the future makes idols, why misery is increasingly a choice, and why contentment is the answer Harry Enten's CNN data: over 25 million Democratic primary votes so far, ahead of 2018, against a Michigan Senate poll that is the weakest Democratic showing of the century Culture versus the economy in November: Mike Rogers versus Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Peggy Flanagan's ICE answer in Minnesota, Ken Paxton's character problem in Texas, and why Erick thinks the GOP is making a bad gamble Callers on populism versus conservatism, a Star Trek fan page turning on Noa Tishby while a barbecue board showed nothing but love, and a gearhead's case against letting Washington design Detroit's cars
