    War Is Back on the Menu

    War is back on the menu. Erick opens on the restart of the Iran conflict: a five hour U.S. bombing campaign, a full blockade of Iranian ports, and President Trump scrapping the 20% Strait of Hormuz toll in favor of Gulf state trade and investment deals. He presses the case that Trump should stop settling for simply keeping the strait open and finally back regime change, citing Iran's plots against Ivanka Trump and Air Force One. Then he pivots to a full-throated defense of AI data centers against what he calls a China-funded fear campaign, as New York becomes the first state to declare a data center moratorium. Iran war reignites: a five hour bombing campaign, a Strait of Hormuz blockade, and the killing of the IRGC chief with a bunker buster bomb Trump drops the 20% Hormuz ship fee for Gulf trade deals, while Saudi Arabia bombs the Houthis at Bab al-Mandeb with Trump's blessing and Israel waits on the sidelines The regime change debate: Iran's 47 year war on Americans, plots to kill Ivanka Trump and shoot down Air Force One, and reports of Iranian drones in Cuba June inflation cools to 2.6%: core CPI and headline CPI fall, the Dow dips while NASDAQ and the S&P climb, and oil ticks up (Brent near $84, West Texas near $78) Data centers defended: New York's moratorium, debunking the power and water panic, blue collar jobs for welders and electricians, property tax relief, and the race to beat China

    The Insanity Spreading on the Left

    Erick unloads on Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page of Juno) for calling the gender binary a myth, using it to argue that while the left's wokeism is fading, its mental health crisis and DSA violence keep growing. He then delivers an extended investigation of the Patriot Front, arguing it is not an FBI or Southern Poverty Law Center front but a real movement of online radicalized young men and white nationalist pastors tied to groups like American Reformer, and he warns conservatives to purge them before they infect the Republican Party. Plus the chip driven inflation behind the data center fight, a China funded lawsuit campaign against Micron and Arizona data centers, and a Taco Bell linked outbreak. Topics: The chip inflation problem: Brad's call on the Samsung and Micron memory lawsuit, RAM prices up 30%, and why Erick says the fix is deregulation and killing chip tariffs, not banning data centers (Georgia's rate cut vs. states that restricted power supply) Elliot Page (Ellen Page) calls the gender binary a myth: Juno's accidental pro-life legacy, her attacks on Chris Pratt, transgenderism as untreated mental illness, and Gertrude Himmelfarb on defining deviancy down Nicole Wallace, Jim Acosta, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders: the "high income progressive neurotic white woman" driving the Democratic Party off the cliff, and Erick's case for contentedness over rage The Patriot Front unmasked: not SPLC or FBI funded, the "Hitler Hated Christ" account, young men radicalized online (Evola, Mein Kampf, the Daily Stormer, QAnon), white nationalist pastors, American Reformer, the Baptist Leadership Institute, and Michael Spengler China's data center war: front "concerned citizen" groups suing Micron in New York and a data center in Arizona over water, the TikTok data stack fight, and a warning to build so China cannot control the stack

    Trump Relitigates 2020

    Erick pushes back hard on rumors that President Trump will use a Thursday national address to declare the 2020 Georgia election stolen and delegitimize Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, warning that branding Ossoff illegitimate would only elevate him against Mike Collins and drive independents his way. He lays out a smarter playbook for Trump: make the case against Iran and its regime, present real evidence of any foreign election interference, and quote the Democratic Socialists' own words rather than calling them communists. He then turns to Justice Amy Coney Barrett's raw House testimony about death threats, a bulletproof vest, and a swatting incident, sharing his own long history of being swatted, stalked, and harassed, before closing on Lindsey Graham's Atlantic quote, "there is no they, there is only we," and a call to save your own community. Trump's rumored Thursday address: claims of a stolen 2020 Georgia election, foreign interference, and an effort to delegitimize Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, with Erick's warning that the attack only boosts Ossoff against Mike Collins in 2026 The 2021 runoff reality check: roughly 524,000 Georgia Republicans who skipped the Ossoff and Warnock runoff after Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene told them it would be stolen, plus the Herschel Walker misfire and why re-litigating 2020 is a losing move Erick's alternative message for Trump: build the national case to dismantle the Iranian regime, name names and present real evidence on election threats, and hoist the Democratic Socialists (Abdul El-Sayed, the "bomb Los Angeles and New York" video) on their own words Amy Coney Barrett's testimony on threats, the bulletproof vest, and a swatting incident, alongside Erick's own swatting, pizza harassment, and family stalking stories, plus the Atlanta police training facility Antifa siege A theology of hope versus secular rage: why a loss of Christian hope fuels violence on the left and the Patriot Front right (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot), and Lindsey Graham's "there is no they, only we" charge to seek the welfare of your own community

Plus, updates on Governor Henry McMaster appointing Darlene Graham to finish his Senate term. A must-listen tribute to a legendary senator and statesman.

    Back to Schrodinger's Strait

    Erick breaks down the escalating crisis with Iran as the U.S. conducts strikes and President Trump announces America will guard the Strait of Hormuz — and get paid for it. Erick also discusses Lindsey Graham's final days pushing for strong action on Iran and Ukraine, plus the imminent appointment of Graham's sister, Darlene Graham-Norden, to the U.S. Senate. Plus, a deep dive into radical left funding: the arrest and extradition of Fergie Chambers (Cox media heir), his feud with Neville Roy Singham, and how millionaire & billionaire donors are fueling militant communism within the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Erick explores the shift from democratic socialism to Marxist direct action and what it means for 2026 politics.

    Always Somebody Else's Fault

    Erick Erickson broadcasts live from Las Vegas and dives deep into the dramatic collapse of Graham Platner's Senate campaign in Maine. Platner officially drops out amid a flood of sexual misconduct allegations, unhinged rants, and media fallout — exposing the Democratic Party's poor vetting and desperate search for anti-establishment fighters. Erick discusses the broader anti-establishment wave on both sides of the aisle, why character still matters in politics, the disconnect between party elites and voters, and the dangers of the far-left's influence on the Democratic base. Plus, listener calls on an Open Line Thursday. Topics include: - Platner's pattern of behavior and media complicity - Democratic Socialists vs. establishment Democrats - Why good candidates sit on the sidelines - Lessons from Trump's 2016 rise and current party fractures
