By the way, I have a film crew coming at the end of this month to video me making my cinnamon roll recipe, among other things. So you will get the video feed of the cinnamon roll recipe. Now. We must begin with the Iran situation, which has kind of been out of the news, faded a little bit. This is from Bloomberg. The U.S. will soon announce unprecedented economic measures against Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said intensifying the Trump administration's effort to force Tehran's capitulation after almost six months of war. Watch this space for more announcements coming next week because we're going to apply measures like we've never been seen in the history of economic isolation. Scott Bessent said in a news interview on Newsmax, the move will be part of a one-two punch. There will be a blockade of Iranian ports. Iran's economy has taken a major hit with much of its industrial capacity damaged and crude exports severely curtailed by the U.S. blockade, but the Islamic Republic has weathered waves of sanctions that have failed to force it to bend on its nuclear program or relinquished control of Hormuz. The president told Axios this past weekend that he is low-keying it with Iran. We're just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. This is my friend Rebecca. like Heinrich on, I think. Fox with Brian Kilmeade. Kind that we don't have much of that we want more of is missile defenses interceptors. But let me say that I have heard that part of the problem there is when we stop and start these these military operations, that's not what Cooper wants to do. Cooper, I mean, I would suspect he would want a sustained military operation because you want to suppress anything the adversary can retaliate against. If you have stop and start, they can regroup and have more munitions so that you have to expend.

more interceptors. So even that problem, I think, can be mitigated. And then, you know, I keep seeing Pete Hegseth put out more press releases that we're getting more contract signed so the other defense companies can get cranking and make a lot more of these munitions that we need. I hear you. And lastly, Russia, they say, is using drones to probe air defenses on all of Europe, especially focused on Germany. How could a country struggling against Ukraine want to expand a war real quick? I mean, what Russia is trying to do, anytime Ukraine does really well, Russia tries to scare NATO so that it stops supporting Ukraine. That is, Rebecca Iron is talking with Brian Kilmeade on his show. Listen, there are lots of people behind the scenes whispering that, in fact, Admiral Cooper, who is in charge of the Iran operation, wanted to keep firing at the Iranians. But our missiles are in short supply. And I mentioned my buddy. Yesterday, who it works for one of the major defense contractors who said the problem is not that our supply chain can't ramp up missile production quickly. It's that they were not told to do so by the Pentagon. They were given no lead time. The signals that we would be doing something didn't come for them to be able to ramp production. They can ramp production, and they can produce them at volume, but it does take a little bit of time. They have ramped up their production, and also Congress didn't appropriate any money to do so. So that's the perspective there. One more, though, that I want to play. This is Brett Bear's conversation about the Strait of Hormuz, where the president insists we have operational control. For perspective, the average flow of ships through the Strait of Hormuz before we began engaging in Iran and the end of February was over 100. Then the last few days, it's averaged eight to nine ships a day. I mean, that does not sound like total control, but you have live crude oil prices tonight that seem to be down at 81, a little bit down today. Gas prices, you know, national averages here. We put them up 407, last week 406. So you're seeing a little bit, what are we going to see if this continues at this back and forth with Iran? What does that price look like as we head into the fall?

So I have no clairvoyance. But we sit here today, as you just showed, Brett, about $4 a gallon gasoline. In the first year of the Trump administration, we had more like $3 a gallon gasoline. So it is elevated. But we had four years ago, under the Biden administration, we had $5 a gallon gasoline. So the goal of the Trump administration is to get this back down towards $3. And we absolutely will get there. The question is just the timing of that. And I think we will continue to see increased flows of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz. We've got to get the refining infrastructure around the world back up running. The pinch right now is more in the refining of oil and gas than it's in crude oil delivery itself. And so there's a lot of factors in play there. The Ukrainian attacks on the Russian refining system, which are taking massive tolls on Russia. They are reducing the supply of refined products to the world. and that's nudging up the price of refined products as well. Yeah, he is right. There are some complicating factors there, but also there's a lot of economic and uncertainty happening in the Iran situation right now. The president's going to try these economic problems. Here's one catch. Gas prices on average in the United States right now are over $4 a gallon, maybe lower where you are, maybe higher than where you are, but average is right around in there. Barrel price of oil right now, over $80. Here's the problem, practical problem for President Trump and the Republicans. average gallon of gas price is higher now in August than it's ever been in the August before an election. We've had higher gas prices than what we have right now, but never right before an election. In August, before an election, we've just never seen gas prices this high. They certainly were higher under Joe Biden for time, but there was not an election within three months. That's part of the problem right now is that. So where do we go and what do we do and how do we proceed? The president decided to go with economic sanctions. Now that's going to drag some things out. It's going to drag things out, and I'm not sure that we're in a situation where we can withstand it. I honestly, I don't know that the voters are going to be super thrilled to go to the polls in November if gas prices are still high, and there's still a lot of economic uncertainty. And the problem here is that we're dealing with an economic situation in the Middle East against Iran. against a well-armed dictatorship who has unarmed people. It seems to me that the play really should be that we're going to disrupt Iran from within.

It really does to me seem the play should be that we prepare the Iranian people to take matters into their own hands. The majority of the Iranian people we know don't support the regime. So why aren't we doing this? Why is the president pulled that punch? This is my problem. I went into this believing that we had to have a plan. There had to be a plan. We would not start a war with Iran without a plan. The problem is it's very obvious there was no plan. We just assumed that we could bomb them for a while and they might collapse. That's not what it was going to do. And I do know, and it has been widely reported, and people in the administration have not pushed back on it, that the military planners in the Pentagon said that's not going to work. We're going to have to go all in. It doesn't mean boots on the ground, but we're going to have to coordinate with allies, particularly Israel. We have to do stuff. And the president continually pulled his punches on this. Y'all, do we want to win this war? We're losing a war against the country we could beat.

Now, I'm glad that we're doing more economic sanctions. And I think the more economic sanctions we do, the better it will be. But the problem is a practical one for the United States in that we do have midterms coming up. And Americans do respond to economic pain. And they respond typically by punishing the party in power. And that would be the GOP. And on the other side, we got a group of crazy socialists running. I saw a report, I guess it was in the telegraph, that the Democrats are prioritizing the hotness of their candidates. I kid you not. The hotness of their candidates. They want extremely attractive candidates because they're convinced that young people are so shallow that they will vote for attractive candidates, even if they're bad for the country on public policy. Their ideas don't matter. They've got to be attractive. We really do have some vain and shallow people if that's the case. But that actually might be the case. So what's the alternative for the Republican Party? The Republican Party needs high levels of competence. And we're not exactly getting high levels of competence from some of the GOP right now, including within the administration, where we now know confirmed reports. In fact, Iran has a video now that has been confirmed that they shot down many more of our drones than the Pentagon let on. The Iranians were able to fly old... F-5s, those are old American planes. They were able to fly them under radar detection into Kuwait to take out American positions there. They did it successfully. Bypassed air defense. We know the Iranians were able to do more damage to the allies. All of this stuff is coming out now. There is a fog of war, but it also seems that the Pentagon didn't want us to know the extent to which the Iranians were able to push back. And a lot of that has to do with our tactics and strategies that we need to adapt to present times. So I actually do believe that the president is on the right path with these economic sanctions if we can get other countries to go along with us. And that's a big if. But it does make us look more vulnerable. And meanwhile, China and Russia are paying attention to all of this. And with the Chinese and the Russians paying attention to all of this, well, it might actually make Taiwan more vulnerable, the Chinese thinking that they can actually actively take us out and push us aside.

The Chinese are not our friends. There's a report out the day that a Chinese military official who is actually a sniper has purchased a building directly across from the White House that looks out onto the White House, how our national security apparatus did not get tipped off to a Chinese professional sniper buying a building that looks out onto the White House. What are we doing here? There are some real problems. But at least the president wants to bring about a reckoning for Iran. I still think military is a better option if we have the weapons to do it. If not, let's do the economic sanctions. There does now appear to be an economic plan in place. Scott Bessent is leading the effort. I sure hope it works for him because otherwise he'll be the fall guy for it. But I trust Scott Bessent's competence. We'll see where it goes. Have something to say? Hello. Hello. Call the show. 1-877-9-7 airing. That's 1-877-97-9-3-7-425.

information without this spin. It's the Eric Erickson show. Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. I got to share with you guys a what I find to be a deeply funny story. You know, yesterday I spent time talking about people who just they can't make sense of reality. They live in conspiracy land, in not reality. Like the people who were convinced Tyler Robinson did not assassinate Charlie Kirk. I kind of got a little taste of that last night, and I thought it was very funny. So I was sitting at the bar of an Italian restaurant in Atlanta last night. I think is the name of it. They've got a great lasagna. And I love lasagna. So I'm sitting at the bar eating. And a couple sits down next to me. They recognize me. We start chatting. Very nice couple, the Andersons. And Mrs. Anderson is texting her best friend who's a fan. And the friend doesn't believe that she is having dinner with me. And they go back and forth. So I just like, you know what? We should take a selfie. So we take a selfie. I stand between them. We take the selfie. She sends it to the friend as proof of life. They are having dinner with the Eric Erickson. And the friend takes back. I mean, that looks like him, but I think he's more of a barbecue guy than an Italian guy, so it might not be him. Y'all, it really was me. Ma'am, if you're listening, it was me with your friends the Anderson's last night, and Mr. Anderson invited me to go play golf. which I'm going to do with him and his son and take Charlie with me. I just, it was very, very funny. They were as nice as they could be. And I certainly don't mind it when someone comes up. We didn't talk politics and whatnot. They asked a lot about radio. So it was, but it was very funny. The friends like, I don't know. In all truth and honesty, I love Italian food. I love Italian food. I love lasagna in particular. I like to make lasagna. I like to eat lasagna. If you're ever up in Roswell, Georgia, Astoria, Motone is one of the best Italian restaurants of the city. And they have a great deconstructed lasagna. Oh my gosh, it's so good. The one last night was great, too. It was good. So in any event, 8779.773-7-4-25 is the full number. You can text the word show to 3377 and get tickets to not safe for radio show. More on that later. Look, when we come back there, I played for you the Mark Halperin audio yesterday about the situation in Texas. I have had multiple conversations. It's kind of funny last night. A buddy of mine from Texas called me and said, hey, this is unsourced, not sure you should use it on radio. But I got to tell you what I'm hearing. And I said, buddy, as a matter of fact, I heard the same thing from a senior official with the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

So, yeah, what you're hearing on the ground is what I'm hearing from Washington, D.C., people real concerned about the state of play with Ken Paxton, and it has nothing to do with the polling. You can say the polling is wrong. It has nothing to do with the polling in Texas. The problem is Ken Paxton is a deeply lazy individual who will not do what he's doing, and also the donors are not writing the checks to him that everyone just expected they would write. They took advantage of the donors who think they're insane. One of the biggest problems in Texas is some members of the Republicans are thinking, Maybe we should just let Talariko have this thing so everybody can be reminded of you can't do crazy stuff. And we'll get back to sanity. I'm like, man, have you all seen Georgia? Because that's what they said in Georgia. And Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won. And now the Republicans are just, they picked another bad candidate to try to dislodge Jon Ossoff. So. Want to talk about that when we come back. We got lots more to talk about today. I will take your phone calls. I'll be generous. Open line Friday. But first, I got to tell you about the Reney tankless water heater. It is my water heater. And I love it. Genuinely, this thing, you don't run out of hot water in your house. which is a big deal when you have kids, particularly teenagers. You swap out your tank for the tankless water heater. It's on the side of the house. It's like a small, like a rollerboard travel suitcase. It's not very big, but it heats the water up fabulously. And we get hot water all the time. I can stand in my shower. If I wanted to take a shower for two hours, I could take a shower for two hours and never run out of hot water, unlike your tank of a water heater. You yank the tank. We yanked our tank, and our power bill went down because we had an electric water heater. But you had to power it, keep the water heat it all the time. With Rani, it comes on when the water starts flowing. Talkingtankless.com is where you want to go. Talkingtankless.com, get the Rani water heater. You can also find a certified professional to install it and you will have hot water and it will be fabulous. Talkingtankless.com. Talk to Rani. Get a tankless water heater. Have hot water forever. Talkingtankless.com. Enjoy your hot water like we do.

He's got the courage to tell you the truth, even when it isn't popular. You're listening to the Eric Erickson Show. Hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The full number 877933-7-4-25. It's an open line Friday. I'll take your calls, but I want to get this out of the way first. In 2016, the Billy Bush-Donald Trump conversation came out. I want to say it was like October before the election where Donald Trump's think you grab a woman buyer, you know what. And a lot of Republicans are like, you got to get out. You got to do something. And he didn't. He held his ground and he won. He fought back and he won. And you had all the allegations from, what's her name? You know, I was on with Jake Tapper the other day and pointed out that there were abuse allegations against Max Miller that were unlike anything Donald Trump had been accused of. He's like, well, there was E. Gene Carroll. I was like, whatever. It's no, it's. Donald Trump has never been found guilty of rape or anything like that, but there have been allegations against Trump, and the public has generally given Donald Trump a pass in a way they don't give anyone else a pass. But you have a lot of candidates who have decided I can be like Donald Trump, and voters will give me a pass too. In 2022, in Georgia, Herschel Walker, who I think is now the ambassador of the Bahamas, Herschel Walker, the famous football player, ran for the Senate. And I said repeatedly during the primary, you had a guy, a friend of mine who was running, who had been a Navy SEAL. hitchhiked through Afghanistan, learning the language, enjoying the Navy SEALs. Should say hitchhike. Well, heiked through Afghanistan, learned the language, became a Navy SEAL. Impressive biography. You had a statewide elected official who was very popular in the state running. You had several others running, but Trump laid hands on Herschel Walker. And whenever I told people, look, there are problems. There's like, well, you just don't like Donald Trump. That's why you don't support those wars. Like, no, that has nothing to do with it. I've been supporting Donald Trump, but Herschel Walker's a man who we know held a gun to his ex-wife's head. And he battled mental issues. And there were all sorts of problems with him. And he's got an unstable family, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And all this stuff is going to blow up with the general people. No, no, no. It's that you're just, you're not a Trump guy. And Trump can get elected. Hershal Walker can get elected. Okay.

The Brian Kemp machine was able to carry Herschel Walker into a runoff. And when he got into the runoff, the family dynamic I worried about exploded. His son came out and said all sorts of things about his dad. These stories came out about him holding the gun to his ex-wife's head. I got women in my church. He said, are these stories about spousal abuse? I said, yes, they are. That's why I was telling people not to support Herschel. And it all kind of blew up. and Herschel Walker lost, giving Raphael Warnock a six-year term of the United States Senate. The same is playing out this year in Georgia with Mike Collins, where Derek Dooley was not a strong candidate, and he couldn't beat Mike Collins, but also there was far less baggage we could make it about Jon Ossoff's record. And with Mike Collins, well, Mike Collins has a guy on his staff currently who was trying to get a Holocaust denier out of jail. He's got his son-in-law who apparently has ties to white supremacy groups like the Patriot Front. And he's got the former chief of staff who became the campaign manager who has Susan Collins in an ethics investigation still, among other things. All sorts of it is like, guys, if you make Susan Collins the nominee, the race is going to be about him, not about Jon Ossoff. Guess what's happened? And Susan Collins is going to lose the race. And then there's Ken Paxton in Texas. And by the way, this is not an I told you so moment. There's a point to be had here. But Paxon in Texas is not a good candidate. Ken Paxton, say what you will about is baggage. The big critique of Ken Paxton, honestly, is that he is one of the laziest people to ever run for office. In fact, Ken Paxton's effectiveness in office as Attorney General depended on who his deputy attorney general was. If that guy was effective, Ken Paxton looked effective. If that guy wasn't, Ken Paxton didn't look effective. Ken Paxton is a lazy individual. He's also a man who has serially cheated on his wife. They're now in a divorce. And he's also a man so corrupt, his own staff turned him into authorities for corruption. And somehow these self-styled Christians in Texas thought the serial adulterer who was investigated for corruption by the FBI and the only reason he wasn't prosecuted as Trump became president again before they could do it. Like that guy should replace John Cordon because John Cornyn only votes for Donald Trump 95% of the time. We need someone who does it 100% of the time. So let's get a guy like Trump. So they got Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton has now put Texas in play for the Democrats, and I'm not talking about the polling, and I want you to hear this from someone who has said Ken Paxton could get elected. This is from Mark Halperin. Ken Paxton. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll say again, I am the biggest skeptic for the last 25 years that a Democrat can win statewide in Texas. You can go check my record on this, and I'm telling you today, if Ken Paxton doesn't come to Jesus on how to run for office, he will lose. I don't care. I don't care about the governor's race, which will also be quite close. I've been talking to Texas Republicans who are not hostile to Ken Paxton. He is lazy. He's a horrible fundraiser. He cannot answer questions about the controversies that reporters are going to ask him about. He has alienated suburban voters, including suburban women. And he's running against the guy who's pretty damn good as a candidate, despite not liking me, despite all the things he said.

And if nothing, dramatic changes. It's not just Ken Paxton has to get it in gear. If nothing dramatic changes, he will lose. It doesn't mean Democrats will take back the Senate. But he will lose unless something dramatic happens. And most people I know don't think he has it in him because he's a bad guy and a lazy guy. There, I said it. I've heard he's got issues with evangelicals and religious folks too, the core component of the Republican base. I'm not saying he can't win and the governor may drag him over the finish line and James Talarico may make some mistake in the debates. But I'm telling you, do not think of this race as toss up. Do not think of this race as well, in the end, of course, the Republicans going to win. That's not the state of the race right now. Larry. I'm hearing from people that they are starting to get worried about how it's looking in Texas. And yes, the one thing that people keep relying on is, well, it's Texas. And that ain't going to fly post-Labor Day. Something's going to have to look good for Ken Paxton. I agree with you. Kevin. Yeah, no, we're in total agreement. You also have a Hispanic woman at the top of the ticket on the Democratic side. That is helpful for some of those communities, again, some of those districts that Republicans redrew based on the Hispanic support for the president. Listen, you don't have to take it from me. You can take it from Mark Halper. Mark Halperin thought more highly of Ken Paxton's chances than I did. Take the polls out of it. Here's what I hear from Republicans in Washington and in Texas, and it's very much what Mark Halperin is saying, that Ken Paxton is not just a bad guy, and he is a bad guy. People don't like him. People carried him over the finish line in the past for other races because he was useful to them in ways he no longer is. But Ken Paxton is lazy. He's a deeply lazy human being. He doesn't like to work. Everything has largely been handed to him in the past. He's had Texas billionaire donors pushing him over the finish line and they're no longer engaged in the race. The donor class in Texas don't like Ken Paxton. He was not their guy and they are not inclined to help him. And the view from the donor class in Texas is you guys who respect Paxon, you get him across the finish line. You thought you could do it without us. We'll do it without us.

It's like the Republicans looked at what the Democrats did and said, you know what? We're going to put up our weakest links. We're going to double down with stupid. We're going to go find the worst possible people and run them for office. How is it that the Democrats could see the train wrecks coming with their candidates and say, we've got to force these people out of the race? And on the Republican side, they're like, no, no, we're going to. We're going to try to double down and spend money and get the bad guys elected. It's wild to me. The silver lining for the GOP is that Abdel Abdul El-Sayed, the establishment Democrats moved too late on him and he's their nominee. And Mike Rogers, according to a Fox News poll, is ahead in that race right now. And keep in mind, Fox News polls lean towards the Democrats. You see a Fox News poll subtract two from the Democratic side almost consistently. Mike Rogers leads 51 47. It probably is more like he leads 53, 45 in that race. You've got about 20% of Democrats saying they're going to vote for Mike Rogers over the socialist Islamic fascist. By the way, you want a stat that blows your mind? I put this in my morning email. This is crazy to me. The story broke yesterday that while Abdul El-Sayed is committed to Sharia, and under Sharia law, Muslims who are committed to Sharia law do not believe dogs should be pets. And Abdullah Abdul El-Sayed says he's committed to Sharia law. He oversawed Detroit's animal shelter. The kill rate for dogs was 74%. It resulted in a lawsuit. The city had to pay $63,000 to settle conditions for the animal shelter that Abdul El-Sayed was in charge of. If you want to put this in perspective, when Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan was in charge of the animal shelter in Detroit, His animal shelter killed 26.4% of all dogs killed in the United States in 2015. And by the way, they only accounted for 0.19, 900ths of a percent of dogs in the United States. Do you love animals? Do you love dogs? Do you love dogs? In 2014, Abdul El-Sayed was responsible for 26.4% of all dogs euthanized in the United States with a kill rate of 74% in his animal shelter. He is a Sharia law committed Muslim who believes that dogs should not be pets. That guy is running against Mike Rogers, which gives the GOP a unique advantage in Michigan. Character counts, people. Character still counts. Now, on both sides of the aisle, I should say, if you text show to 33777, come hang out with me at the Not Safe for Radio Show. It'll be October 10th.
