    The Debanking Happened

    Breaking news out of the gate: President Trump cancels the livestream of Nidal Hasan's execution, and Erick explains why turning an execution into content and memes would have been a mistake. Then the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency releases a sweeping report finding that all nine of the largest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, used vague reputational risk policies to debank conservatives, gun sellers, oil companies and some progressive groups.

    Inflation Roars Back

    It is Open Line Friday on the Erick Erickson Show, and the hour opens with a trucker named Lewis explaining diesel surcharges before CNN's Matt Egan delivers a sizzling Producer Price Index report: 1.3% monthly and 6.3% annual wholesale inflation, with the Iran war, Saudi and Houthi strikes on refineries, and Ukraine all in the mix. Erick breaks down why he still expects Republicans to hold the Senate, weighs in on James Talarico's CNN town hall with undecided Catholic voters, and reacts to the new federal lawsuit against Matt Gaetz.

    Why America's Military Is Stretched Thin

    On the Erick Erickson Show, Erick takes a caller's question about why the U.S. military can no longer fight two wars at once and walks through the Pentagon procurement mess, the Navy's saltwater maintenance problem, cheap drones versus exquisite weapons, and the Trump administration's fortress Western Hemisphere thinking. He defends Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky against Russia and Vladimir Putin after the Starlink shutdown and Elon Musk's call for Zelensky to go, then holds up El Salvador and Nayib Bukele as proof that locking up repeat offenders works. Plus Georgia ballot advice, Angie Nixon and Chris Rabb wanting to lock up Republicans, and Abdul El-Sayed's Muslim Brotherhood ties in the Michigan Senate race against Mike Rogers. The two-war military shrinks to one: how Barack Obama's force planning, bloated Pentagon procurement, the defense contractor oligopoly, Navy corrosion on ships like the USS Abraham Lincoln, and drone production (Ukraine at 5 million, the U.S. under 100,000) left America struggling against Iran Zelensky, Putin and Starlink in Ukraine: why Erick says the Pentagon, not Elon Musk, shut off the system, why Ukraine's constitution bars wartime elections, and his warning that appeasing Putin invites a Neville Chamberlain moment What Nayib Bukele's El Salvador teaches about crime: a homicide rate now below France, repeat offenders, and Erick's case for bringing back three strikes laws Midterm races: Georgia down ballot picks including Rick Jackson over Keisha Lance Bottoms, Byron Donalds in Florida, and Angie Nixon and Congressman Chris Rabb saying they want to lock up Republicans while abolishing prisons Abdul El-Sayed and the Michigan Senate race: new video, Mike Rogers, Trump's Friday trips to Georgia and Michigan, and why Erick still thinks Republicans keep the Senate

    Why Ken Paxton May Cost Republicans the Senate

    Erick Erickson sounds the alarm on the 2026 Senate map as Republican donors scramble to defend Nebraska, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, and South Carolina, and blames the Ken Paxton scandals in Texas for draining money from Mike Rogers in Michigan and handing James Talarico a path to the Senate.
