In this episode, I break away (mostly) from the news of the day to talk about the passing of my father-in-law. Life is not all rainbows and unicorns. Adversity hits, often when least expected. What had been booked as a travel weekend for my wife to fly to her dad's is now a flight for his funeral. I will have a few minutes to speak at his funeral, but I wanted to say more and so I am using today's episode for that reason. I never expected my father-in-law would become part of the fabric of our h...

In this episode, I weave together several current events stories with a common strand running through them all. Leftist leaders and unhinged victims of the current mass psychosis are laser-focused on making sure The Ministry of Truth draws near. They want to censor anything that does not meet with their preapproval. They do not want debate. They do not want people to have access to conflicting information. They do not want people to exhibit critical thinking and analysis all on their own, becaus...

In this episode, I remind everyone about yesterday's topic covering virtue signaling. It makes for a perfect lead-in to today's discussion, where the Biden administration is acting like a petulant child in punishing the state of Florida. Yes, Biden's petulant move to punish Governor Ron DeSantis reveals just how weak and feckless this President is. Florida has not gone along with Federal mandates. They did not impose lockdowns, masks or vaccine passports. They took their own approach and, much t...

In this episode, I start off explaining the problem with virtue signaling. First, it's almost never about being honest to your core. It does not reflect truth. What it does is allow someone to utter some platitude that is politically expedient, while trying to look virtuous about it. Since it's only about political expediency, your "truth" is bound to reverse itself when it's more advantageous to flip your opinion. This leads to how so many, especially politicians, can say one thing today that i...

In this episode, I use the latest NBC News polling data to discuss the coming Democrat shellacking. That wasn't my term, but since that's what Chuck Todd called in on Meet the Press this past weekend, I thought I'd stick with it. First, let's understand the media polls almost always oversample Democrat voters as compared to Republican. Someone can probably explain why they do it, but that's how it's been done most of my lifetime. So, if the polls are this bad when a liberal-leaning news entity c...

In this episode, I am happy to see glimpses of sanity in a Covid-mad world. Here are some of the highlights from the last few weeks. The CDC admitted cloth masks do not work. EU scientists realized the virus cannot be beat with non-stop boosters. The WHO worries boosters may weaken or burn out the immune system. Israel admits they made many mistakes, including their lockdowns, stopping kids from going to school, implementing a vaccine passport and pushing repeat boosters. The CDC admits those wh...

In this episode, I conclude the Biden press conference was an epic fail. The analysis begins with the first question asked by a pre-selected reporter. Did this administration over-promise on their agenda? Incredulously, with all of the horrible news hitting the Administration, President Biden says he over-performed what anyone thought he would do. It's amazing the self-delusion that was on display for the world to see. I use several of his answers to point out what an addled and ineffectual Pres...

In this episode, I begin wondering why the Democrats continue to debate the filibuster and the Voter Protection Act. It was obvious from last week's events, the attempt to federalize elections is dead. President Joe Biden was so mad about it he let a little bit of truth leak from his lips. He said the laws passed by the states wasn't about who could vote, but gets to count the vote. Yet, Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer keeps trying to debate the issue. Does he think he will wear down Senat...

In this episode, I discuss authoritarianism in the Biden administration. Right on the heels of my thoughts yesterday about children and adversity, we see a call to censor the podcaster, Joe Rogan. Right after President Joe Biden makes a plea for social media and media outlets to put a stop to misinformation and disinformation on their shows, we get Jessica Rivera on CNN talking about warning labels and censorship of Rogan's show on Spotify. Then, we get a letter, co-authored by Rivera, claiming ...

In this episode, I take a moment to remember one of the great speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Not his, "I Have a Dream," speech -- which is marvelous in and of itself. Instead, my favorite is one that very few know and is rarely heard. It is his street sweeper speech. However, to fully understand the impact and see it's relevance for today, we need to remind ourselves just how weak we have become. First, I quote from a person who works in a "Big Tech" firm, explaining what it is like to ...

In this episode, I break down just how bad it's been for President Joe Biden over the last few days. The inflation number was released and it's at a 40 year high. A Quinnipiac poll has the President at just 33% favorability after only one year in office. The Supreme Court voted down the OSHA mandate for the private sector. And, with one floor speech by Kyrsten Sinema, the administration's attempt to nuke the filibuster rule in order to Federalize elections, has been torpedoed. The fact the mains...

In this episode I remind the audience how new media seems to always be 12 to 18 months ahead of mainstream outlets. At the start of the pandemic, any discussion over the virus being created in a lab would get you de-platformed. Discussion of gain-of-function research was dismissed as conspiracy theory. Suggesting the vaccine isn't the one-size-fits-all answer and we will not get to Covid zero would get you thrown into social media jail. Journalists are supposed to be interested in the truth. Or,...

In this episode I comment on President Joe Biden's latest failed attempt to paint all Republicans as member of the Ku Klux Klan. Last week, the narrative was to try using the anniversary of the Capitol riot as a way to paint the whole GOP as violent, domestic terrorist insurrectionists. After a week, that attempt didn't seem to catch fire with the American people. So, onto the State of Georgia to claim, once again, voter suppression. The man who ran on being a uniter, managed to bring such a dis...

In this episode, I discuss just how poor the CDC messaging continues to be. And it's not just me. CNN's own Brian Stelter literally said, "The CDC has become a punchline." He isn't wrong. He interviewed a guest on his show just two days ago, Dr. Lucy McBride, who said fear and the stoking of fear is wrong and hurts patients. She was very much against the constant anxiety being pushed by doctors who seem intent on panic porn. As an illustration, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the CDC, went on...

In today's episode I find myself aware how tenuous the notions of freedom are, especially when faced with fear. Freedom is easily pushed aside while under a mass hypnosis. To understand how we got here, we first revisit the teaching of Machiavelli. Though a ruler can rule by loving his subjects, love is a fickle emotion. People turn on those they love all the time. Therefore, Machiavelli believed fear was the better way to control the people. From there, I look at the work by the psychologist, D...

In this episode, I breakdown many of the know failures of public health related to it's Covid response. The fact is, so many doctors now know those policies aren't working doesn't seem to matter. We have put just about all of our eggs in the "vaccine" basket and it's easier to tell people it is the only solution rather than admit they were wrong. The human ego is such a powerful force. It is very hard to admit you were wrong or take the blame for your own actions. It's always easier to blame oth...

In this episode, though it was the last subject I wanted to cover, I dive head-long into, "Insurrection Day!" I had planned on looking at some of the comments from Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University. But, after listening to the speeches of President Biden and VP Harris, I knew I had to address the day. Did a protest get out of hand? Yes. Did some of the attendees break the law? Yes. Could you describe part of it as a riot? Absolutely! Was it a planned takeover of the government by an a...

In this episode, I open with a reminder that the vaccine does not stop the spread of Covid-19 nor does it prevent you from coming down with the Omicron variant. I am still perplexed why so many doctors know this, but are either forced to play along or are unwilling to push back. Dr. Peter McCullough, in his podcast show notes published today, documents these same findings from multiple sources and studies. Moreover, he goes on to say even natural immunity is not enough to prevent an Omicron infe...

In today's episode, I do my best to tackle the notions of social media being solely a private enterprise. This is often the only argument offered as to why it's okay for "Big Tech" to deplatorm voices they don't like. It's one thing if these supposedly private companies want to alienate a portion of it's customers. But, when they do so at the behest of government, we are now treading some murky waters. We are going to have to recognize social media is promoted as a platform for expressing onesel...

In this episode, I take a moment to explain my goal of putting out a daily show for 2022. It won't be as long or in-depth as a 3 hour radio show. However, it will focus on a specific topic or two I feel is important for the given day. I will strive to keep them to 30 minutes or less to make them easily digestible. Today's show discusses the uselessness of cloth masks and how the mainstream media is finally saying this. Experts on both CNN and MSNBC have explained cloth masks are ineffective agai...

In this exerpt, which originally aired on Saturday, August 21, I breakdown my thoughts on Biden's Afghanistan debacle. This disaster sits squarely on the President's shoulders. He was not following the plan negotiated by former President Donald J. Trump. He was not listening to his military commanders nor the memos sent to his own Secretary of State. He wanted to appease the woke factions of the Democrat party and hold a campaign promise, without regard on how to make it a success. In his mind, ...

It this epsiode, I discuss the recent phenomenon sweeping the country called vaccine fanaticism. The politization of Covid-19 variants, masks and vaccines has led to a disgusting fracture in our nation. Rather than keeping the discussion based on those with immunity versus those without it, we have gone all-in on pitting the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. VACCINE FANATICISM Using a recent paper by Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine editor in chief of MedPage To...

For a fitness first Saturday, it was my pleasure to welcome personal trainer, Susan Delmonico of SJD Health and Fitness, to the show. Susan brought up the topics of overall fitness and how important it is, especially as we age. We also discuss going through your cupboards and taking stock of the food choices that have been made in the past. From there, it's time to put a new shopping/meal plan in place. Yes, buying fresh fruits and vegetables can be more costly, but there are way to mitigate you...

In this episode, I get the chance to chat with Dr. Tim Ryan about variants, vaccines and natural immunity. We also touch on the dangers of the government trying to censor free speech by pressuring social media outlets to lock down information they don't like. Both Dr. Ryan and I are all in favor of those who are at-risk getting their vaccinations. What we have a real hard time understanding is why natural recovery and immunity is constantly ignored. Studies and data consistently show natual reco...

In this episode, I get the chance to spend time with Tina Forte who is running for Congress in New York's 14th district. She will be challenging incumbent, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Tina came to fame at the height of the Covid-19 shutdown. She was always vocal on her social media, but something about Covid and the disastrous policies of Governor Cuomo catapulted her daily videos onto the national stage. We start off with her explaining how she came down with Covid-19 and her doctor immediately p...

This episode orginally aired on July 17, 2021. This portion of the show contains all of the topics discussed in the second full hour of the on-air radio broadcast, featuring an interview with Dr. Tim Ryan of the Physician's Practice. To open, I remind the audience about the wording of the First Amendment. The White House is playing cute with backdoor censorship of free speech and if allowed, it won't just be Covid-19 information they will want to control. This leads to the recent presentation of...

In this episode, US Congressman Barry Loudermilk joined me to discuss election integrity and the administration's desire to get Facebook to censor posts it does not like. This interview took place on the syndicated Erick Erickson Show, which originally aired during the third hour on July 15, 2021. There is a move to try to nationalize elections under the guise of state's making it harder to vote. In reality, each legislature saw just how easily a mass mail-in balloting campaign could be fraught ...

This episode is from the second hour of The Erick Erickson Show, heard nationally on Thursday, July 15, where I discuss the ironies of having an open door policy at our southern border, but escaping Cubans are not wanted. Why is that? Could it be this regime understands those who escape communist dictatorships tend to vote Republican? We saw images of Cubans in the streets, waving American flags and demanding freedom. DHS Secretary Mayorkas does not want any refugees from Cuba coming to the Unit...

In this episode, you will get hour 1 of when I filled in on The Erick Erickson Show across his nationally syndicated network discussing serious vote integrity issues in Fulton County, Georgia. Thanks to a segment, which aired on The Tucker Carlson Show, Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State for Georgia, had to put out a tweet asking for the firing of two elections officials. He had no choice given the information coming forward from an independent audit of the 2020 Presidential election cycle. ...

In this episode, I spend some time mocking my favorite target for derision and buffoonery, Dr. Fauci. Just as we are celebrating the 245th birthday of the United States of America, Dr. Fauci decries two Americas in his Sunday talk-show tour. This is taken from the first hour from July 5, 2021 when I was on WSB Radio in Atlanta, Georgia. Before I can get to topic, breaking local news of a triple homicide investigation is ongoing, so I get a chance to speak with reporter, Robyn Walensky. (As of th...
