Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, our three.
Hello, America.
Welcome.
It is Eric Erickson here across the United States.
It is an open line Friday, 8779737425.
Should you wish to be on the program,
I would be very happy to have you.
I want to talk about, well, the poison crackers.
That would be the salty, salty teams.
That would be the crazy white people of America
and the wild things they're doing.
Immigrant store owners in Richmond, Virginia
are begging the city council to turn back on street cameras.
They were turned off after the George Floyd riots
in Solidarity and Virtue signaling with the protesters.
And now street crime and breaking of businesses downtown
is up over 30% in downtown Richmond, Virginia.
And the city council won't turn back on the cameras
that were used as a crime deterred
because, well, they think it would make them look bad
or some such.
It's just nonsense.
I want to pass along that information
before diving into other stuff.
And between the two, go to Justin calling
from Tulsa, Oklahoma on the issue.
Justin, welcome to the show.
Hey, thank you for taking my call.
Sure.
I want to preface this was saying I come from a blended family.
We have white.
We have black.
We have Mexican.
We have different types of Hispanics,
our family unions.
But here's one thing to nobody in any of the family.
And once at all, nobody in any of our neighborhoods
we want crime.
It doesn't matter who it is.
It doesn't matter if they're legal.
It doesn't matter what color they are.
We don't want crime to the lady in Chicago
who let a rapist get away.
You know what that rapist did?
He went on to rape someone else.
Why not getting these individuals
no matter what race they are
out of society.
All you're doing is systemically
you're just allowing them to perpetrate that
on someone else.
But this is a morality issue.
No, Justin, would you understand
is it is a morality issue?
And it's the morality of white people
who have caused these non-white people to get out.
Against white society.
We're the oppressor.
We're the oppressor, Justin.
We get what we deserve.
Never mind that the crime is high in the black community.
You know what it is, literally.
And I'm not making this up, Justin.
They actually believe that when black on black crime
is those who are trying to act white,
dominating other members of the non-white community.
And that's why it is the most cockamaming nonsense.
And again, it is.
It is the poison crackers.
It is the insane white people of America,
the poison crackers, the saltiest of the saltines.
They believe this stuff,
which actually translates well into the next story
I wanted to get to.
So at root.
What is transgenderism?
Now, I'm going to jump off the theological deep end
real quick.
Because you all know my worldview.
But let me explain this with just 30 seconds
of basic theology.
Jesus said the gates of hell
will not prevail against the church.
And so Satan's idea is to limit
the numbers of the church.
If the gates of hell will not prevail against the church,
reduce the numbers of the church.
You reduce the numbers of the church
by reducing population.
Go all the way back to Mesopotamia.
The people would sacrifice their children
to ensure the harvest.
The Aztec were the most demonic
when it came to these sorts of things.
You know, contrary to the current white-woke belief
of the poison crackers,
the Central American tribes
sided with the Spanish against the Aztec.
The Aztec were so brutal and so cruel
that the non-aztec communities in Central America
sided with the Spanish to wipe out the Aztec.
Because the Aztec not only sacrificed children,
the Aztec would torture the child
while killing the child, believing
that the screams of the child could be heard by the gods
and the louder the screams, the better the rain.
They were so brutal
that the other Central American non-aztec tribes
sided with the Spanish to destroy the Aztec.
The idea that the Western hemisphere
was peaceful until the white guys showed up
to colonize it.
Actually, the Spanish were a good thing.
Bringing Christianity to the Western hemisphere
civilized the Western hemisphere.
When you hear people talk about the stolen land
that we live on,
we conquered the land from Indian tribes
that would steal from each other
and murder each other and torture each other.
It was the Western colonizers
actually brought civilization
and made society livable and workable.
But along the way in every one of these pagan societies,
there was a common strain of population control,
the Aztecs, the Romans, you name it.
One of the hallmarks of non-Christian society
is wiping out children in the Middle East.
The current Ayatollah,
now the new Ayatollah has erectile dysfunction,
well-documented.
It went to the Great Britain for treatment
of erectile dysfunction.
The children in the goats of Iran are safe from him.
Child brides.
You know, the Ayatollah,
comany, not comany,
the original Ayatollah,
when asked what would happen
if a Muslim man took a child bride
and in the act of raping her,
ruined her, destroyed her body.
The Ayatollah's advice was that you would be forced
to take care of her for the rest of her life
as punishment for what you did.
These are savage people.
That at root is transgenderism.
It is a savagery foisted by progressives on children
to stop them from being able to reproduce.
Because at the end of the day,
Satan wants to reduce the population of the church
at the gates of hell,
will not prevail against the church.
Let's reduce the size of the church
and the way to reduce the size of the church's population
control, child sacrifice and ancient times.
And now, hey, let's make our kids trans
and give them drugs to sterilize themselves.
Well, transgenderism is disintegrating
before our eyes.
Fewer and fewer kids identify as trans.
They believe it's nonsense and it is.
It's absolutely insane.
And so what the left is moving on to rapidly
is trying to tell young women,
don't get married and don't have kids.
The New York Times the other day did a big story
on how it's actually a good thing for society
that young women are not getting married and having kids.
It's good for them and it's good for the environment.
And the entire idea of encouraging people
to get married and have kids is bad for society
because it limits your freedom.
Yeah, you know what?
It limits your freedom to have kids.
Philip.
Philip, I'm putting you on the spot.
I'm sorry.
Philip wanted to go fishing today
and take the day off and his truck broke
and he wanted to go next week
but his wife's gonna be out of town with one kid
and he's got the,
we'll have the baby at home with him
and can't get up at four or five o'clock
in the morning and go chase the bass
when you got a kid in the house.
It does limit your freedom.
It limited my wife's in my freedom
when we were younger
because we didn't have babysitters.
My wife refused to have babysitters.
You know, I was listening to John Deloney the other day
and he was talking about you got to be real careful
when you let your child have sleepovers and stuff
or go to a sleepover
because the rise of abuse in households.
Your kid is more likely to be abused
at a childhood sleepover than anything and anywhere else.
It's just wild.
The left wants to reduce the population.
The left has tried to advance transgenderism
to get your kids sterilized.
That's not working now.
So they've moved on to convincing women
that you can be in thruples.
You don't have to be monogamous.
You can destroy your life without getting married.
You can have an abortion
so that you don't have to have kids.
There's a wild book out of Lindy West.
Lindy West was convinced repeatedly to be in thruples,
to be in three ways,
to have these wild encounters.
And let me just read you this.
The day Ahmed and I got back together,
Ahmed was the husband in early 2012.
We talked for hours.
I cried for most of it in broaching non monogamy.
Ahmed said that he wasn't seeing anyone else.
And this wasn't about me.
It was just a fundamental part of his ethos.
He believed that monogamy was in its root, a system of ownership.
I had to admit that perhaps I didn't feel it as keenly as a white person.
Ahmed loved me more than anyone else he had ever met in his life.
I was the most spectacular person in the world
and the first best friend he'd ever had.
But this was not negotiable.
He would not lie to me or anyone else about it
and he was prepared to break his own heart.
Now, rather than watch us decay and collapse later,
I stood at this crossroads,
spend the rest of my life without Ahmed,
which was impossible,
or agree to a polyamorous relationship also possible.
Notice how he tried to explain to her that she was racist
if she didn't let him sleep around.
And this has been elevated, by the way.
By the left.
Women, you can have your cake and eat it too.
You don't have to have children.
You don't have to be married.
You can have sex.
You can have a job.
You can make money.
What is it?
The dinks, dual income, no kids.
When viral TikTok elevated the algorithm
to highlight the people who were fabulously wealthy
and had no kids,
there is, and the root current of the poison crackers,
of the crazy whites, don't have kids.
Now, you can see where this little head's to.
This generation of young people who are not getting married
or they are getting married,
but they're refusing to have kids.
They get pregnant, they abort the kid.
They're going to get to a point where they need
the rest of us to take care of them
because they built no safety net for themselves.
You know, God says be fruitful and multiply.
The left says, no, that's bad for the earth.
What's wild is that it was in Genesis one
where God's creating everything
that He says be fruitful and multiply.
Fill the earth.
You, if you're a person of faith,
have an obligation to have kids.
And it's not just about perpetuating the species,
which is a natural thing to do.
It's also about building up a storehouse for you
in the future of your kids are going to take care of you.
Not the state.
The state doesn't want to take care of you.
Look at Canada.
In Canada, you can get same day a physician-assisted suicide
and it takes on average 28 weeks to get a doctor's appointment.
On average, in Canada, to get a doctor's appointment,
it takes 28 weeks.
But if you would rather kill yourself,
they'll show up same day.
The post-Christian world is suicidal.
And they want you to commit suicide.
And if you don't want to take immediately
the suicidal option,
what you can do is you can just not have kids have fun,
live your life,
and then get to be 60 or 70
and wonder who's going to take care of me?
Well, I guess somebody else's taxes
are going to go up.
The people who did it right and had kids,
we need to raise their taxes
because the government's going to have to take care of me
because I'm lonely and childless
and can't take care of myself anymore.
The world is structuring itself
in progressive society
to convince young women don't have kids
and to convince your kids to sterilize themselves.
To wipe out our species
because they've decided the planet is better off without us.
I gave a talk to my kids school this morning
to the senior junior class and I said,
guys, the world is giving up on you.
They think you're going to go to church and be right wingers.
So ladies, what the society is trying to do
is convince you not to go to church
and enter into relationship with these guys
and don't get married and have kids
but to live your best life now.
The world, the progressive world
is giving up on the young men.
The young men are toxic.
They're trying to convince the young women
you be toxic in reverse.
Hate life, hate family, hate having kids,
hate being married, it's all bad.
You live your best life now.
The New York Times in the last three weeks
have done stories on how having kids is bad,
getting married is bad.
And being sexually adventurous
in non-monogamous ways is actually a good thing.
And what you read in those stories
in particular, like the story of this lady,
Lindy Western memoir,
is that these are the most miserable people on earth.
It's not a coincidence that the most miserable people on earth
with the worst mental health outcomes
are the progressive women of America
who've decided that they can have their cake and eat it too
because you really can't.
But you know what you can do?
You can get married, have kids and go to church.
Those people tend to be the happiest people on the planet.
I've been asked a couple of times
about this piece of legislation that was killed in Congress
that would have required the disclosure
of sexual misconduct complaints.
In fact, Elizabeth email me and says,
why did the 357 members of the U.S. House,
including many women, vote against
releasing the congressional sexual misconduct
and harassment reports,
yet they were willing to release the Epstein files.
The way the Epstein files were handled is one of the reasons.
Most members of Congress actually would support the legislation,
but the actual legislation about releasing reports
of sexual misconduct and harassment
was a terribly drafted piece of legislation.
And it would require not just allegations
of sexual misconduct and harassment be released,
but all fake complaints and malicious complaints
would be released without a designation
that they were fake or malicious.
Just if there was any complaint whatsoever,
it would have to be released.
And members of Congress,
given what happened with the Epstein files
and the destruction of some reputations
of people who were completely innocent,
they've kind of walked back and said,
wait, we need to slow this down, this legislation's bad.
And this is not a misrepresentation.
This is a real concern,
even among female members of the House of Representatives,
who want this documented and disclosed
that it would be very easy for you to call
to the ethics committee of Congress,
say, Congressman X sexually assaulted you,
and they would be required to release that information
as that blank person says this Congressman did this,
and that would have to be released.
They are considering now instead legislation
that would say only the ones
that have been actually verified will be released,
but otherwise you're just setting up weaponization
of sexual harassment and misconduct
and destroying a lot of good people's reputations
by the release of false claims
without an indicator that they were decided
to determine to be false.

What comes to mind?

Occasionally,
you see things that you wish,
dang it.
I wish I had come up with this.
There's a viral tweet going around about
Talleriko,
the Democratic nominee in Texas,
that he is the living embodiment
of the coexist bumper sticker.
It's like,
man, I wish I had thought of that.
All right.
We got a circle back to the war effort.
There's a very fascinating piece
on an Israeli website explaining
what actually happened.
And I'm genuinely impressed with what
the Israelis and the Americans together
have been able to pull off.
And I just think it's notable
the number of groups out there on the left
and the right,
the alt-right and the,
and they all left the horseshoot theory.
They've all meet in the middle
with their hatred of Israel.
I want to read for you this.
The website is Israel Hiyam.
And let me begin.
The first tool used
in Operation Roaring Lion
was a Hyundai I-10 unwashed
and scratched from parking.
The Israeli deception operation
before the strike included sending
all the top IDF general staff officers
home on Friday night for dinner.
After all,
the neighbors watched the parking lot
to see whether the general's car is there.
If it is,
the attack must not be imminent.
So the head of the planning director,
it slipped away from the meal
and made his way in his assistance secondhand car
back to the command bunker.
That is the general drove home in his car
and then got into a beat-up Hyundai
and drove back.
It's already an open secret
that Israel had planned a complementary operation
against ballistic missiles
around this coming June,
marking a year since Operation Rising Lion,
the new development was that the United States
expressed interest in joining a campaign
to bring down the regime.
The Netanyahu Trump meeting at Mar-a-Lago,
December 29,
mainly focused on finalizing a joint strike in the summer.
Netanyahu returned from there,
gathered a handful of senior officers
and informed them.
That day will be remembered in history
by chance just hours before the meeting in Florida,
protests began in Tehran.
At first,
they were too small for Netanyahu
and Trump to take seriously.
But a few days later,
it was decided to seize the opportunity,
increase the stakes, move the attack forward
and expand it significantly.
The wheels of the dual war machine began turning quickly.
In fact, too quickly,
Trump was very eager to deliver a crushing blow
to the Iatala regime.
He therefore announced to the protesters
that help was on the way.
Israel had to restrain Trump
and convince Trump
through the head of Masad,
directly engaging Trump,
that such a premature strike
would cause more harm than good.
They succeeded,
but then a new problem emerged.
The President of the United States
began to worry
that the mission might be too big for Israel.
It required another flight by Netanyahu
to dispel the concerns,
followed by an urgent meeting
with the IDF Chief of Staff,
Yalzemir.
He landed in freezing temperatures
in Washington, D.C.
carrying on his classified computer
a 50-slide presentation,
a war plan.
In the United States,
there's order.
Instructions come from above.
They're implemented without a high court.
Without the infamous left-wing NGO,
Beth Shalim,
still at help that the commander
of CENTCOM,
Admiral Brad Cooper,
is one of the US military's
greatest experts on Israel.
When Sinwar was eliminated,
the head of Hamas,
he opened the bottle of champagne
to celebrate Brad Cooper did.
After last June's war,
he launched his own inquiry
to understand the Israeli operation
what the Americans could improve.
What began as a theoretical study
turned into operational preparation.
The operation was originally meant to begin
the previous Friday,
but a combination of less than ideal weather
and last minute issues
in the US military
caused a delay.
They then decided to delay it further
until Benjamin Netanyahu got word
that all of the leadership
of the Ayatollah
would be meeting on a Saturday.
So they did something.
The Israelis,
through back channels,
communicated
to the leader of Saudi Arabia,
were thinking of doing this.
And the leader,
the Saudi Arabia,
Muhammad bin Salman,
began through his public channels
to publicly call on the United States
to stand down.
You got that?
Publicly, Saudi Arabia,
the United Arab Emirates,
and others began to loudly
and publicly insist that
there needed to be time
for negotiations.
The Qataris were left out of the loop,
and the Qataris believed
that they could manage negotiations.
Behind the scenes,
Muhammad bin Salman
was entrusted by the Israelis
to make the case to Donald Trump.
You need to take out the regime.
Not only did the leader of the Saudis
insist to Donald Trump
that the time was right
to wipe out the Iranian regime,
but he also,
Muhammad bin Salman,
did gave the Israelis a list of targets,
and said,
if I convinced Trump to do this,
you have to blow up these particular targets,
and the Israelis willingly agreed.
When I was a kid,
you couldn't go from any Arab country
in the Middle East to Israel
if you did,
you wouldn't be allowed back in the country.
I'll never forget
going to the library one time,
and realizing that there were pages
cut out of the Encyclopedia.
For those of you younger than me,
there used to be books
called in the Encyclopedia,
and they had all the world's knowledge in them.
The Encyclopedia Britannica
was the biggest,
the world book was the most common,
but you could look up pretty much any topic,
and there was at least
a half page on that topic,
and sometimes more.
And I noticed one day
doing a report
that there were pages cut out
of the eye section.
I can't remember what I was doing,
I think it was igles maybe,
and realizing that Israel
was cut out of the Encyclopedia.
Well, it was just the world book.
Let me go to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Yep, it was cut out of the Encyclopedia Britannica as well,
and then realizing that the maps
were redacted.
They either had labels that said Palestine
or Israel was blanked out of the map.
You couldn't do it.
You could make a phone call from Dubai
to Tel Aviv.
The phones simply did not work.
Now there are direct flights
between Dubai and Tel Aviv.
There's no censorship.
The phones work.
You can travel.
There's trade.
The Saudis have kept Israel publicly at arms length
because the Saudis for years have demonized
to the Israelis.
But behind the scenes,
there's been increasing cooperation,
particularly as Iran has been more and more emboldened
due to its weapons and terror regime
to harass its Middle Eastern allies.
So here comes the Saudis
to publicly say,
we think this attack is a bad idea
and to privately say,
these people need to be wiped out.
Saudi Arabia has had its oil fields attacked
by the Houthi who are funded by Iran.
The United Arab Emirates expected
that it would be hit the hardest
and planned for it.
Two-thirds of the short-range Iranian missiles
have been fired at the UAE.
They've been fired that way
because the UAE is close
and they have the most public ties to Israel.
It's a big day
when the Arab nations ally
with their old enemy is real.
Because the reality
is that the Arab nations hate Iran
more than Israel
and they always have.
It's why you're seeing so many people
who hate Israel try to blame the Jews on this.
There's a piece out
the American conservative
which is would deeply hostile
to Israel very anti-Semitic,
claiming that the Iraq war has ended the Trump coalition.
How many of you who are supporters
of Donald Trump said,
you know what?
I can't support him anymore.
He's blowing up Tehran.
Very few people that I know of
are opposed to what is happening.
They don't want it to last forever.
And the polling reflects that.
The polling reflects that.
This is a war that people support.
They understand it's necessary.
It's not the war of choice.
It's a war of last resort.
But they don't want it to last long.
And I think that's true.
Which remarkable though is that,
I mean, just think about this.
Historically,
Azerbaijan and Armenia,
even when they were Soviet republics
inside the Soviet Union,
the Soviet police state had to be used
to constrain them from fighting each other.
And now that they are independent nations,
they have regularly fought each other.
They have disputes over territory.
They've accused each other
of ethnic cleansing of territory.
And today,
Armenia and Azerbaijan
are allied against Iran
with Israel.
And Saudi Arabia and Qatar
and Bahrain and Oman
and the United of Emirates
and Egypt and Syria
and Jordan.
Iran is isolated.
And Iran's three big partners
are North Korea, China and Russia.
They're getting technology
and weapons from China
that can't outperform the United States.
And they're not getting old Chinese surplus weapons.
They're getting bleeding edge weapons.
And those weapons don't work well.
The Russians can't afford to send weapons
to Iran with their sending his intelligence.
The media is out disputing
and carrying out the White House.
The media is out disputing
and carrying out the love it.
And also,
even if the Russians are giving intelligence,
it doesn't matter.
And they're essentially trying to claim
that the Russians give it intelligence
doesn't matter.
This is actually what Carolyn Levitt said.
Why doesn't it matter
if you are a military
and you're taking for my Russia
and then I'll just spend that believe in law.
What I meant, Kristen,
and thank you for giving me a chance
to make it very clear,
is that it clearly is not making a difference
with respect to the military operations in Iran,
because we are completely decimating them.
As I said earlier,
we've taken out nearly 30 of their ships.
There maybe has been deemed combat ineffective.
90 percent reduction in ballistic missile retaliatory strikes
against the United States
and our Gulf Arab and partners in the region.
So, of course,
we are achieving the military objectives of this operation
and that is going to continue
because the United States military
is the best and most lethal fighting force in the world.
So they're mischaracterizing her statements
being dismissive of the Russian intelligence.
And her point is my point that it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter that the Iranians can't fire
the missiles and drones at this point to stop us.
We have air supremacy over Iran.
The question now is what comes next?
Was we head to a weekend?
What comes next?
Because you can't overthrow a regime
if there are no boots on the ground.
The President says no boots on the ground.
So if there are no boots on the ground,
what you've got to have
is an internal presence.
I have told you
that they're arming the Kurds
and have been for the last year.
What they are also doing
is arming other civilian factions inside Iran
who know how to fight,
who are willing to ally with the Kurds.
Because something that most people
haven't paid attention to
is that behind the scenes for the past year,
the Kurds, Amy K, which is a party in Iran
that's actually pretty hated,
but has a big movement.
The Shah and other democracy groups
have all been talking.
And they've all laid out a massive plan
of what can come next to bring democracy to Iran
or the closest semblance to democracy that they've had.
With the Shah as a figurehead,
much like a British monarch.
And it appears to be working.
But how do we now stimulate
the ground operation in Iran?
That I don't know the answer to.
I assume there's an answer
in the Trump administration.
By the way, this is breaking.
As I'm talking to you right now,
Azerbaijan has just announced
it has arrested Iranian Revolutionary Guard sleeper cells
that were planning attacks
in Azerbaijan against Israeli interests.
That is hitting the wires right now,
Azerbaijan.
And now they've even got now photos,
Azerbaijan arresting Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps members
who appeared to be attempting to sabotage
an oil pipeline that supplies Israel
with about 20% of its oil.
The Azerbaijanis are now saying
that they will engage in hostile action against Iran
for what Iran is doing.
They were at peace with Iran last week,
willing to help Iran get its citizens
out of Lebanon as the situation spiraled there.
And now Azerbaijan is on a war footing against Iran
because Iran is trying to blow up a pipeline
to hurt the Israelis.
The Iranians just keep playing this hand.
They've been dealt as badly as possible
and the Chinese and the Russians are making it worse for them.

Hello and welcome.
It is Eric Yurickson here, the full number
877-977-37425,
except it's probably too late at this point for you to be on.
So look, I don't know what's going to happen this weekend.
I don't know if anything is going to happen this weekend,
but we will be seven days into what's going on in Iran.
And I know the Republicans don't want to say war
because that raises constitutional questions
about a declaration of war,
but it's a military engagement in Iran.
But it is completely an air campaign.
No boots on the ground.
No, I have heard one person point out
that you know we were able to get regime change
in Japan with an air campaign.
That's true.
But Nukes as well, which we're not going to do.
So what do we do to further destabilize the regime?
That I don't know.
I do not know the answer to where we head with this.
What I do know is that you are on the Sunday shows,
God forbid you watch them,
going to be inundated with progressive nightmare
and fear scenarios on what's going on.
This is Carolyn Levitt talking about the munitions supplies.
Hi, everybody. Good to see you out here.
It's a busy day here, as you all know.
The president will be meeting with defense contractors
here at the White House in a few minutes with Secretary Hegg Seth.
This is a pre-scheduled meeting
and the purpose of it is to talk about the president's aggressive
and fierce support for rapidly increasing the ability
of U.S. manufacturers to produce American-made weapons,
which we know are the best in the world.
The president signed an executive order on this earlier this year.
This is a long-held policy objective of this administration.
And so he'll be speaking directly with these defense contractors.
But of course, as the president has maintained,
we have more than enough munitions, weapons, stockpiles
to achieve the objectives of Operation Epic Fury and beyond.
After that, you'll be hearing from...
We can stop it there.
I mean, you're hearing all of this regurgitated stuff
to try to scare you to think that there's somehow
this level of incompetence.
We say what you will about Hegg Seth or Trump.
Our military is highly competent, highly proficient.
And I actually think Hegg Seth is doing a good job here.
And the talking down is offensive to me.
And yet, it's blame America first crowd in charge of the media.
Now, that's also affecting markets.
It's also affecting precious metals, things like that.
