Erick Erickson Show 3-24-26 HR 1
Transcript
93 segmentsSo, ladies and gentlemen, I must begin here today. This morning video circulated very near me in a green space in Atlanta, Georgia called the Beltline. It's an old railroad track that's now a walking area, and there is a giant boa constrictor. I mean, this thing was a gigantic boa constrictor in the middle of Atlanta. Those of you who believe in Santa Ria and voodoo, those of you who are into satanic witchcraft, I would like all of you to get together with our would-be surgeon general. and summon the spirit of William Tecumseh, Sherman, please. We need to burn this whole city down until we can figure out what's going on here. A boa constrictor on the street in Atlanta, I need Sherman to come burn the city down, please. Now, William, to comes to Sherman, we want you resurrected to burn down Atlanta again until we can figure out what is going on with a boa constrictor in the city. I don't like snakes. People, I don't like snakes. The other day, I had to deal with a five-foot-long snake crawling up into the engine of my daughter's car. It lifted itself off the ground and tried to slither into the engine area underneath the hood of the car. Giant, giant, it was actually, it was a rat snake. black with white belly, it was a rat snake, slithered up in there. It is, oh, I'm getting sick just talking about it, and the thing had clearly eaten some chipmunks because it was fat, and it was going up in there. I had to take that sucker, knowing the snake was in under the hood. I took it to the car wash and paid extra for the under-sprayer, undercarriage sprayer to get that side. And it slithered off to the local Taco Bell. I actually did it a favor. It came out of the car at the car wash and slithered off next door to the Taco Bell. I feel sorry for the side effects for that snake. I did not want it in the car. And now we got boa constrictors in Atlanta. I need Sherman to burn it down. In any event, welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number is 877-973-745. There is some other breaking news besides a boa constrictor in Atlanta, Georgia. The city needs to be burned down now. Alan Armstrong is the new senator. For those you out in Oklahoma listening, Alan Armstrong, the energy executive, Governor Stitt, has appointed Alan Armstrong to finish the term of Senator McMillan. Markwayne Mullin is now the Secretary of Homeland Security. He was confirmed overnight.
And Alan Armstrong has been appointed today. He will be your new senator for the great state of Oklahoma. It is a great state. And he is not going to run again for office. The laws of Oklahoma preclude an appointed senator from running for election. Now, having started in all of those places. I need to, oh, and Phillips says we have the boa constrictor video in the show notes for those of you don't believe. Giant, giant boa constrictor. In the middle of where people are walking, it had to escape. We don't have natural boa constrictors. We got a lot of snakes in Atlanta, but they're all in the legislature meeting today. This is a non-legislative snake. It was wandering. Maybe it was trying to find its way to the Gold Dome for the legislature. I don't understand why there's a boa constrictor walking in the city. You know, they had not far from me in the other direction a while back. They had a, oh, what was it? It was a one of those Congo pit vipers. Like there's not even an anti-venom for the snake. It is so lethal. And they had one. Like multiple people saw it and all they could think was, well, it's about to die because they don't. really do well in weather under 90 degrees. They're a jungle snake, and it clearly had escaped from private captivity, but the snake, if it bites you, you're dead in like five seconds. There's not even anti-venom, and it was wandering the woods of Millageville, Georgia, where the state insane asylum is, and people first thought that people were insane for having seen this thing, and then other people saw it, too, and they realized what it was, and they went looking for, and the DNR was like, it's going to be dead, we're having a cold snap. I don't know why. I'm sorry. I have a nationwide program from Alaska to Miami, from Connecticut to Southern California. And I am just, I don't like snakes. And there's a boa constrictor loose in my city. And Sherman is long dead. And there's no one to burn the city die. I nearly burned my car, my daughter's car. This past weekend, having a snake inside it. I don't like snakes, people. I don't like snakes. I'm going to move on now and move on to real stuff here. I don't like snakes. Senator Chris Murphy, speaking of snakes, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut gave away the game on MSNBC last night. Have you all heard this clip? Listen to this clip. He is with Rachel Maddow's twin sister talking to Chris Hayes.
About TSA and ICE, you will hear Rachel Maddow's twin sister, and then Senator Murphy. The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship. It was entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding, right? Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years maybe. And it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most to the undocumented Americans that are in this country. Did you hear that last little part here, people? Did you hear that? Deliver for the people we care about most to the undocumented Americans that are in this country. The people we care about most, the undocumented Americans who are here in this country, I did not exert that, exert that. I did not twist that. I did not take that out of context. That is the senator from Connecticut, Senator Chris Murphy, saying that it is the undocumented Americans. They care about them most. That, my friends, is why I wish to bring you the generic ballot congressional polling. Because right now, in the real clear politics polling average, the Democrats are ahead by 4.9%. Now, always remember, take the average. Don't take the individual results. The average tends to be far closer to what you're going to get. Some pollsters make mistakes. But let me read you the trend line. In February, the big data poll, Democrats up nine. Harvard Harris had a tie. CBS had Democrats up five. RMG research had a tie. And then you roll over into March. NBC had dims up six. NPR had dims up nine. Signal had dims up four. Yahoo News, it dims up four, morning consult dims up eight, Emerson dims up seven, Qantas dims up five, and then Reuters Ipsos and Economist UGov, who tend to be more accurate than people like morning consult that do an online poll have dims up three. The polling average is 4.9. If you want perspective, in 2018, when the Democrats had their massive blowout against the Republicans, The Real Clear Politics polling average had Democrats 7.3. The final result was Democrats at 8.4%. At this time, in 2018... The generic ballot for the Democrats was Democrats 6.5 in the polling average, almost two full points higher than where we are right now. Now, why is that? I would submit to you it is because of people like Senator Chris Murphy going on television and saying things like this. But we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.
The people we care about most who are the undocumented Americans who are in this country. Not only that, but you have Democrats in this complete bubble. The majority feels whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by biological characteristics at birth. This is from the AP Nork polling from last year. 89% of Republicans say male or female is determined at birth. 74% of independents say that a male or female is determined at birth. But 54% of Democrats believe a baby is determined or a male or female is based on their choice. So Republicans and independents both believe overwhelmingly more than three quarters of them that a child is born male or female, but 54% of Democrats say you get to pick. Think about how out to lunch that is. It is... Also reflective in polling from Ryan Burge, who is a fantastic, fantastic data researcher looking at not just Americans, but doing a deep dive on progressives or on churches and in progressives and the decline of progressive theology in the United States. How do people view themselves? The cooperative election study shows that Democrats actually... view themselves further to the left than where their party pulls nationally. Democrats believe that their party is more centrist than where they actually are. Republicans actually believe that their party is more centrist than where they actually are. The perception of independence, however, is that Democrats are moving much further to the left than Republicans are. In fact, this is a common thing that the data continues to show that the Democratic Party as a whole is actually moving further to the left than where the Republicans are moving, and that the independent voters who tend to decide elections look at both parties and find the Republicans to be closer to the center than where the Democrats are. And frankly, The way things align in this country, it's true. I'm further right than most Republicans are, and yet many Trump supporters view me as a moderate for not aligning with Donald Trump. But principally, as a lifelong conservative, I actually am to the right of Donald Trump on, for example, tariffs, to the right of Donald Trump on free trade, to the right of Donald Trump on abortion, to the right of Donald Trump on gay marriage, to the right of Donald Trump on a host of economic and cultural issues. Donald Trump is perceived to be far right by Democrats, but everybody else recognizes he's a populist. He tries to find 80, 20 issues, whether they're on the right or the left that align with them. I'm pretty principally don't shift as a conservative, and that actually does matter. I am perceived as moderate because I'll tell you what both sides think, but I'm actually to the right of Trump on most economic issues and on most cultural issues.
The problem is that the Democrats are further left than where independents are comfortable on issues of abortion, abortion on demand until birth, on issues of transgenderism, that Democrats think it's a choice. And on and on and on it goes. And then you have a guy like Chris Murphy who goes on with Rachel Maddow's twin sister and says that the people we care about the most are undocumented Americans. By the way, he wasn't misstating that. He goes on to say citizens as well. Undocumented Americans is his view as a progressive, and that is increasingly a mainstream view of the Democratic Party. It is reflected in Democratic immigration policy, where the Democrats are unwilling to fund ICE and Border Patrol. Most Americans support deportations. They don't necessarily like the way Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino were carrying him out. But they're actually okay with deportations. So this is where we are. On March 24, 2006, the generic ballot is closer than it was in 2018. Because in 2018, that's when the Democrats... got elected and then lost their ever-living minds and went so far to the left. And they haven't come back towards the center. And so now voters headed into 2026, the Democrats are probably going to win the House. They probably are. But they're also not going to do as well as they otherwise could because they live in such a blue cultural bubble. The far-left progressivism that you and I saw when Obama was president is now mainstream within the Democratic Party, and most voters have rejected that. This is actually good news for the GOP. Yeah, you're probably going to lose the House in November, but culturally and economically, most voters still align with the GOP. They just don't like Trump. But the good news for the GOP is they hate the Democrats far more than they hate the Republican Party of Trump. Have something to say? Hello. Hello. Call the show. 1-877-9-97 Eric. That's 1-877-97-9-3-7-4-25. Want to be on the show? Come on, be on the show. Call Eric now at 877-973-7-4-25. Y'all. I know none of you care about this, but I care greatly. My master's tickets arrived. I'm taking my son to the Masters, the Friday after Easter. We just get one glorious day without our cell phones to be able to watch the Masters of Golf. play their thing. By the way, congratulations to Scotty Shuffler and his dear wife on the birth of their second child. He has pulled out of a golf tournament in Houston because of his birth of a child. He was literally willing to pull out of the Masters the year he won it because his wife was any moment going to go into labor and he was prepared to walk off the green.
and leave to be there. He is a good, good guy. He's a profoundly decent human being, and looking forward to watching him and everybody else. I'm not into following individual players. I just want to go savor Augusta National. I'm hoping somebody can get me into Breckman's. I want to see that place. I hear it's awesome. Plus, I don't like crowds, and that would be less crowded. But nonetheless, my tickets has arrived. Thank you to you who gave me the tickets. You know who you are. Very much appreciative. I am like paying down my credit card bill so that I can basically for the rest of the year where nothing but master swag. Lots and lots of golf shirts coming to my closet in a few weeks. Now. Let me tell you about Vision computers. They are who you can buy a computer with. By the way, we actually do have a computer from Vision. They actually are. And here is why I love Vision computers. So I am more of a Mac guy. They sell PCs. And I used to be able to do, I mean, I knew like the command line, MS, DOS, and Windows 3-1 and all that. And at this point, I just, I want to use my Mac. I'll let Claude control the computer. But my son, he sometimes needs computer help. And because we have a computer from vision computers, he can pick up the phone day or night and call them 15 seconds or less. A live human being will talk to him and deal with his computer problems. Whatever they may be, nine times out of ten, he's gotten excited and he's kicked loose a cable and didn't realize it. And they figure it out for him. And they'll do it for you. They'll do it for your office. They'll do it for your parent. They'll do it for your kid. Call him at 404 computer. Go to Vision Computers.com. Now, we built a computer with him. They sat down with my son. They asked him what he wanted it for, what he was interested in. He was a few years from college back then. They built him a computer. He can just keep upgrading. He doesn't have to replace the whole machine. He'll be able to take it with him to college and use it. And he'll get their customer service. Call him at 404 computer. Go to Vision Computers.com. They do it for your home. They do it. for your office and you can get them on the phone in 15 seconds or less faster than a Google search. You get an actual human being 404 compute or visioncomputers.com. It's really wild to me to watch the latest talking point from progressives that they, well, that they would rather root for Iran than the United States and believe Iran rather than the United States.

We know now that John Brennan has never been a great guy. He is very far to the left. He deeply despises not just Trump, but Republicans. He has used his former position to lie and seed narratives that are not true. And I want you to listen to this on MSNBC where Simone Simmons, who worked for Joe Biden, sounds like the reasonable person in this conversation. Iran, like they are. an authoritarian regime who's known to lie but like I'm confused what is going on help me calm me down well I tend to believe Iran more than I do that's crazy because he could not acknowledge the truth even when it is he slapped in the face with it repeatedly you got that They trust Iran more than Donald Trump or the United States. It's not just John Brennan, though. This is also a CNN, where is this, CNN commentator, Ashley Allison. The leaders of the Iranian regime, they lie. I think the problem is we don't know if our president is also telling the truth. And so it feels like there are two bad actors in this case. And I... I'm confused. I really don't know. I want my president to... You're equating the American president to the Iranian regime? No, that's not what I did. You said two bad actors. But two bad actors don't have to be the exact same type of bad actors. One is a little bad, one is a little worse. I don't know. You got that? Bad actors. They're bad actors. We can't trust the Trump administration. You don't have to trust the Trump administration on the situation in Iran. You can, for example, listen to what the Israelis are saying. Oh, but you don't like the Jews. Listen to what Saudi Arabia is saying. Saudi Arabia is urging the president of the United States to keep up the bombings. The New York Times is reporting Saudi Arabia wants the president to keep up the bombings. Qatar's... Liquid natural gas platform is going to be offline for three to five years now. Turns out that helps the United States. After Qatar, we were the largest exporter of LNG, and that capacity is going to double by 2029. Iran just helped us. You know what the Iranian propagandists are saying is that somehow or another. Iran is producing much more oil now. It's an economic boon to Iran. We're making Iran wealthy. That's not actually true. But the fact that the Iranian propagandists have taken a line and people in the press would prefer to believe the liars than their own eyes is very interesting. By the way, there's a very credible report out of Israel. Very notably, the government's not denying it. Typically, they would deny these sorts of things. They're not confirming it, but they're not denying it, and that's very notable.
that IRGC leaders are sending Israel the coordinates of other IRGC leaders. They're annihilating each other. We know the citizens of Iran are turning in militia checkpoints and Israel's dropping drones on them. It appears that they're offing each other in Iran. IRGC members and soldiers, they're not getting paid. They've missed multiple paychecks now because of the situation. Things are not going well for Iran, and yet in this country, You've got the people on television who are flat out lying about it because the president of the United States is a bad man according to them. You want to know how bad things are going. I want you to listen to this. Audio. You're going to hear audio. That's it. It's going to be sounds. It's not going to be people talking. I want you to listen to this. Hear that buzzing at the end? That is an A-10 warthog flying over Iranian militia in Iraq without any fear of being shot down, close to the ground, strafing Iranian militia positions. They're also doing this in the Persian Gulf. There's no return fire. That's how well this is going for Iran, that an A-10 can be out there in the wild with no protection. Now, kudos to Anderson Cooper. He had on an Iranian doctor who is a dissident outspoken. I can't remember the guy's name. I apologize. But listen to this. These are very serious people. They're seriously bad people, but they are very serious people. And they're fighting for their lives. They're fighting for their existence. Yeah. They know that if they lose this war, their biggest problem will not be American bombs from the air. Their biggest problem will be their own citizens will be hanging them from lam posts in Tehran. You know, they've done so much damage to their own country and their own people for so long that there's a lot of resentment built up there. They can't afford to show any weakness. I appreciate it. Anytime. That's exactly right. They're fighting for their lives. And so what I would imagine is happening behind the scenes is some of them are starting to cut deals. The speaker of the house in Iran online is playing Twitter troll, saying that no negotiations are happening. Behind the scenes, the Pakistanis, and the Turks are saying, oh, negotiations are happening and with that guy. The president of Iran is out saying, hey, guys, don't bomb me. I'm just here as a figurehead. I don't even talk to the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah appears not to even be alive anymore. This is the gay Ayatollah, not the one he replaced. This is not a good setup for Iran. Now, are there some surprises? Newt Gingrich actually offers up a very good take this morning on his substack. My friend Mark Halpern pointed my attention to it. And let me just give you some of what Newt Gingrich has said in his piece this morning. It is actually a very thoughtful short piece.
The Iranian dictatorship has been much more resilient than expected. It has a much deeper bench of people dedicated to its survival and prepared to risk their lives and take a lot of infrastructure punishment to avoid defeat. I will tell you, I'm not surprised by that, and neither are you. If you're a longtime listener to this program, I've been explaining to you how deeply the Iranian government spread itself out across the region and how deep the bench it had to prevent a decapitation strike. I'm not sure anyone foresaw that when the dictatorship killed more than 30,000 demonstrators who made it vastly harder to arouse people to try to replace the regime. That one I do think is kind of obvious. The Iranian dictatorship either has a lot more missiles than we thought hidden production facilities. We have not attacked or both. The continued bombardment of American allies has been a surprise. The two missiles that landed near the Israeli Nuclear Research Center were a shock. President Donald Trump was clearly right in warning that Iran was developing a missile capable of reaching all of Europe and would seek to develop weapons capable of reaching the United States. The missiles fired 2,000 miles into the Indian Ocean could have reached Rome, Budapest, or Athens in Central Europe. next level of development would reach Paris or London. The Iranian dictatorship has apparently moved toward its hardliners in response to the U.S. Israel bombing campaign. The surviving leaders seem to be even more hardened in their opposition to the United States and their willingness to kill dissidents. That continued hanging of protesters is a sign of how determined they are to survive. President Trump has moved from a 48-hour ultimatum to apply maximum force if the Strait of Hormuz is not open to a new five-day ceasefire on energy and oil facilities. He said there have been positive talks with the dictatorship. The dictatorship says there have been no talks at all. Since the war started, my position has been the end result must be a new Iranian government. Since the current leadership is completely dedicated to defeating the U.S. and Israel, it will be interesting to watch these five days of talks. There's also the question of whether the Strait of Hormuz will be open during the period of negotiations. If the strait is open, it will be a minor victory for President Trump. If closed, a significant victory for the Iranian dictatorship, meanwhile, the Marine Expeditionary Force, which left San Diego headed for the region, will be much closer at the end of the five days. No one should relax. That's a fair assessment, although I would say, again, if you've listened to me, you've known it's going to be harder to decapitate this regime given the way it spread out, and clearly they had missiles that no one knew about, and the President of Marco Rubio were right to warn of the exocential threat Iran would soon pose. They would have enough missiles to launch to overwhelm all Patriot missile batteries on the planet and the Iron Dome. The fact that they're doing what they're doing shows why they needed to be wiped out. And I frankly think it's a good thing that we're on the process of wiping them out. I think it's a good thing that the United States of America is working hard to undermine the Iranian regime. And I do think, as the president said, it is going to take a few more weeks. He said five weeks to six weeks initially. We're not there yet. We got two more weeks to go.
And that has always been, in my understanding, a part of the understanding from the Israelis and the Americans. I don't understand how people miss this. If you want a sense of the relentlessly negative anti-American propaganda from the American media and others, just consider on the very first day of the bombings, the president of the United States said it would be five to six weeks. We're not four weeks in, and everyone is declaring it a disaster for the United States because it's not over yet when the president himself said it would take five to six weeks, minimum. People want us to be defeated. The American press corps has very sympathetic spokespeople for the Iranian regime. Miles Taylor. You remember Miles Taylor? Miles Taylor wrote the anonymous piece of the New York Times claimed to be some sort of senior figure in the Trump administration. And then it was revealed who it was. And people were like, who is this guy? He overinflated himself, had an overinflated sense of self, was not nearly the way, at the heights of the administration he claimed to be. He got called out by Scott Jennings last night for puffing himself up further. He's got a history of resume puffing. Listen to this on CNN last night. Donald Trump doesn't know how to play chess. And our allies tonight even told me in meetings that because Donald Trump kept shifting his objectives. Who was it? Who was it? Because Donald Trump, well, I'll tell you when the president tells us who he's negotiating with. So you don't, so when the president keeps moving our objectives. I'd talk to people from the region all the time, Scott. The region or related with the governments? Scott, here's the point. Here's the point. The people in that region who are our allies have been very... You got that? I had high-level talks. Really, this is a guy who was a do-nothing in the Trump administration of the first term. Claim to fame was the anonymous piece. Once it was revealed as him, people were like, I don't even know who this guy is. Now he's having high-level talks. Scott Jennings called him out last night on CNN, so Miles Taylor is lying about Scott Jennings on Twitter right now and say, oh, when the commercials are on, he's bad-mouthing Donald Trump like everybody else does, really? And CNN hasn't leaked it, someone. One of those people at the table with their cell phones hasn't actually recorded, Scott Jennings do with us. Miles Taylor is literally trying to claim that the foreign leaders are talking to him a nobody from the United States. I talked to the Shaw of Iran the other day. Did he? I bet not. Y'all, the relentless negativity of the American press corps trying to undermine this, and the woke's on the right as well, the isolationists who they don't like Israel, things are going well for us. The president when he started said it would be five to six weeks minimum. We're not even fully four weeks into this full thing. And people are ready to cut their losses. You can't cut the losses when you've grabbed a tiger by the tail and you have neither declawed it nor defanged it. If we let go of the tiger now, the tiger turns and kills us, malls us at best.
You can't let go of the tiger by the tail now. In for a pity, in for a pound on this. You may not like it, but there we are. And what the American press corps and the American opposition should do is support our American military, the best on the planet. The idea that somehow these people in caves in Iran are going to best us, and before you say the Taliban did, no, they did not. No, no. We had finally structured Afghanistan, so it was the Afghanis dying, not us, and we had control of that country in an Air Force base until Joe Biden decided to give it up and abandon them and come home. And that's when the Taliban started killing us again with the bombers at the Bill Gates in Kabul. The number of Americans who wish to root against the United States as appalling do not bet against the United States of America, particularly against our military. The Iranian regime is so fractured right now. You've got IRGC members turning on each other and reporting each other to the Israelis for bombing strikes. That's how well put together Iran is right now. We're not even to the five, six week mark here, where the president said that's where we would be. Ground operations from a rebellion can't start until the bombing stops. And yet people want to talk down the entire effort. Has Iran pulled some surprises? Yes, they certainly did. Newt Gingrich is right. They've got missiles we didn't know they had, and now we do, and they denied it, and the Democrats denied they had the capability, and it turns out Trump was right, the Democrats were wrong, so he was given the benefit of the doubt on that. Now, let's give him the benefit of the doubt on blowing up the Iranian some more. Honest. Putting your trust in me to tell you what's going on. Transparent. I need you to know this from the bottom of my heart, giving you the information without the noise. My job is to tell you what you want to hear. It's to tell you the truth. It's the Eric Erickson Show. Welcome back, this hour of the program, brought you by Van Allen Golf, A-L-L-L-E-N, Van Allen Golf.com, Van Allen Golf on Instagram, or just text golf to 33777-7. If you are into golf or someone you love is into golf, you really need to check out Van Allen Golf. I have one of their putters, and it is spectacular, and yes. Yes, I have become a believer in the high-end putter space. Oh, my gosh. 35 feet I made my putt the other day for par. It was gorgeous and then birdied the next hole. Nonetheless, I digress. In California, they've had to cancel a gubernatorial debate among the Democrats. Why? Because they structured it for only the top six people in the polling could get on the debate stage, and it turns out that, well, all the white people with money are on the stage. It was actually, it was nonpartisan, so you'd have Steve Hilton was on there, Eric Swalwell.
the awful Katie Porter and several others, and Tom Steyer and no non-white candidates would be on stage. And when the non-white candidates screamed racism, even though they're not polling well, the media canceled the gubernatorial debate for setting it to six candidates instead of the whole field where only the top six people could be on the stage and they're all white. So you can't have a debate. Because there are too many white people on the stage. That's fantastic. Folks, I have a new advertiser and I am in love with them. Apparently so is Oprah Winfrey. She gave them some award. Perfectly snug. If you go to perfectly snug.com slash Eric, you can save on their mattress stopper. What makes it so special? Well, it air conditioned and heated.
