Anerican hostages are still in Gaza as the one-year anniversary of their capture approaches.
I'm waiting for the story of how JD Vance has flown on a secret mission to Iran to convince Iran to pressure Hamas to keep the hostages until Trump gets inaugurated and then release them.
Rather than read the nonsensical spewing from Jack Smith and whatever media outlet regurgitates it, I listen to constitutional law attorneys, previous Attorneys General, and therefore can grasp that this is just more lawfare, dumped to take the edge off Vance whooping Walz.
Erick - I am impressed that the new evidence of Trump's crimes in trying to end democracy actually made it into your show notes (in two places no less). Bravo for taking this risk that may ALIENATE a large part of your audience. You are more courageous than most in your industry.
I understand why you will probably give it little to no airtime, but come on - this guy seemingly tried to get your buddy physically harmed and definitely tried to harm the country. How sweet would it feel to actually lay into this cowardly, treasonous, buffoon with your silver tongue?
I'd like to add, Blair. It's impossible for one man to END DEMOCRACY. It's impossible without a corrupted supreme court, a turned secret service, owned capital police, complicit military down to the last special force operator and a majority of voters screaming for said end of democracy to actually affect said change. Can we all stop with this hyperbolic silliness? Please?
The guy illegally tried to end democracy and got 80%+ of the republican primary vote. He has had and would continue to have a ton of help. He has millions of people that are in a cult of his personality. He has a complicit conservative media apparatus that has to praise / defend him no matter what because of that cult. He has immense power over every other republican politician because of that cult.
He can do a lot of damage to democracy short of staying in office beyond 2028. It is not at all hyperbolic to say that someone that illegally tried to stay in power after the last presidential election (suffered no real consequences) and has no regard for the rule of law is a threat to democracy if elected again.
Blair. You seem bright, but you also seem to be unable to grasp the salient point in this election. It's not that Trump is considered by all to be so great, it's that Harris is such a disaster that Trump,as dispicable he is, seems preferable.
Do you really need Erick to piss all over Trump to feel better? I think he has made it clear how he feels about him and it isn't positive. Erick has a rational mind. He's able to asses which of the two, Trump or Harris, would do less damage.
In addition: All you good people thinking he tried to steal the election and he's the 2nd coming of Hitler forget one thing. There is exactly ZERO chance he could stay in office post losing. It may be dispicable, but it's a non event to the future of America. Enough rational people understand this. Harris? You may ignore her stated disasterous postions and her grave lack of experience, but seemingly, most voters will not.
IMHO, only Trump could lose to Harris and only Harris could lose to Trump. This is how very low our nationa has fallen.
I'm not sure you are seeing clearly how Trump became president in 2016, but I agree with Joseph that you seem bright, Blair. Trump's calling out of the biased MSM was so desperately OVERDUE when he ran the first time that it propelled him to the presidency. It was comical at times and cringeworthy at others. He hasn't pivoted enough to seem "normal" or he would be running away with the election. I don't like Trump, but if I'm not comfortable leaving the top spot blank, he will get my vote over Harris. We don't even KNOW from whom in the administrative state Harris is getting her marching orders from. Soros backed super packs? The squad? Does Harris know? Our choices for the top spot in the White House are NOT good, but one is LESS BAD than the other.
I agree with a lot of what you say and am not happy about our choices either. For me it just boils down to the fact that some things are truly disqualifying (full stop).
Not just disqualifying unless your opponent is too vapid or has too bad a set of policy positions.
Plain actually DISQUALIFYING: Like the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan? Or, transgender surgery for inmates? Or an open border allowing murderers from other countries to enter unaccounted for? (Erick spelled out MORE disqualifying aspects of the Biden-Harris administration.) We seem to have too much vapid on both sides, don't we? If Trump wasn't such a narcissist, OR if he could better control his disqualifying personality traits we'd be looking at an election between a new Republican candidate and whomever the Democrats would have put up after 8 years of Trump because he WOULDN'T HAVE LOST IN 2020. Even now he would likely be running away with this election if he wasn't so unlikeable. It seems simple to me, but I stopped trusting MSM back in 1980 when Reagan was elected. It is mind-boggling how one-sided the MSM is for the left and it pleases me when a silent majority stands up for what's right. I don't think it is surprising that elections are getting closer and closer as fewer Americans get unbiased news or do the hard work of figuring out things on their own.
Couple of points - I don't need Erick to piss all over Trump to feel better (though it would be great). I piss all over Trump to this substack thread of largely people that are going to vote for him to feel better.
Also, I agree with much of your comment. I would change the wording of this statement around "Erick has a rational mind. He's able to asses which of the two, Trump or Harris, would do less damage" to "Erick has a rational mind. He's able to asses whether his public support of either, Trump or Harris, would do less damage to his career"
That is completely unfair to Erick, who is constantly saying things that PO large portions of his potential audience. Do you actually listen to him? I have admired your courage and perseverance, but not ad hominem against the host.
I did not intend for that to be an ad hominem attack against Erick. I really thought it was just common sense meaning there are some topics that Erick simply cannot touch to still have a career in talk radio and acknowledging Trump's illegal actions to end democracy is one of those "red lines".
I do not think Erick could keep his career without visibly supporting the republican nominee this cycle - It was not intended to be a slight to him. It's probably why he talks so much about the $1k he donated. The comment was more aimed at people that try to rationalize their own support modeled off people like Erick (whose career depends on it). I actually think Erick is one of the more fair and courageous conservative voices out there - It's just that the bar is so incredibly low
You must not have been in RedState in 2014-2016 when Erick was a shelaqued as a shadow NeverTrumper while family crises forced him to withdraw from the "safe career" choice, launched out on his own without a safety net. Recommend you find out a bit more about Erick before reducing him to a career-preserving pundit.
I imagine you know that Erick gets attacked viciously by full blown rabid pro-Trump types. I frequently disagree with him, usually when he starts on topics I might know perhaps better than he does. But I never think of him as a sycophant.
All of the money that they got with the infrastructure bill needs to go to the hurricane victims and the surrounding areas. Where are the commerce and transportation secretaries? All of the squandered FEMA money should be replaced by the green energy gurus who sucked it up with their solar panel and wind turbine subsidies. I would take all of the debris from this storm in every state that was affected and dump it on Biden’s beach.
It was more important to give Aid to Palestinians terrorists than to Americans . It’s obvious to me whose side Democrats are on. They wonder why the vote has shifted.

Does Jack Smith believe the electorate does not see equal efforts, from the precinct level to the national, on the part of Democrats to influence / undermine / change election outcomes? He might begin by looking at this long list, which is revealing. Both parties' hands are dirty: https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud-print/search

They also said than many new Hispanics to US are criminals.

Erick, you are doing the Lord’s work today debunking these malicious anti-American rumors.
Erick - Can you tell me again how to donate to the Trump presidential campaign WITHOUT getting endless solicitations from all the bots?
My question also. I constantly get solicitations from people. Who is the official trump campaign?
dude,.................. I love it when you get up on your toes, as my preacher used to say. Man I get it.
Recently we've discussed the incompetence of 3rd-generation American bureaucracy.
Well........

So RJK chose the wrong candidate and now the Democrat women are willing to say they all had sex with him. If I were him I would say they raped me.
Well, he is a Kennedy... ;-)

Pete's busy closing down the Ashville Airport To civilian air travel, including thos who are flying in supplies
In the last couple of years, they've spent $150 billion on illegal immigrants and other migrants.
What do the hurricane victims who had their homes washed away get?
A whopping $750, per Kamala...
