The Erick Erickson Show

Erick Erickson highlights a powerful signal of friendship from the United Arab Emirates: while other Middle Eastern nations attended the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini with anti-American chants, the UAE skipped it entirely and instead sent its air force to perform flyovers for America's Fourth of July celebrations.

Drawing from his childhood growing up in Dubai, Erick makes the case for a stronger U.S.-UAE alliance, noting the UAE's pro-Western stance, military cooperation against Iran, exit from OPEC, and willingness to stand with America and Israel.

Plus, Erick dives into the wild, dysfunctional political drama in Louisiana, where New Orleans officials indicted the state Attorney General for simply warning them they were conducting an illegal election — complete with grand jury leaks, massive conflicts of interest, and a special prosecutor who didn't even know who she was prosecuting.

Erick also touches on the U.S. soccer match vs. Belgium, Patriot Front/white nationalism concerns on the right, and more.

A must-listen episode on foreign alliances, American exceptionalism, and government dysfunction.

Erick Erickson urges conservatives to stop blanket-labeling Democrats as "communists" and instead expose their actual radical positions: seizing the means of production, abolishing borders and prisons, defunding police and ICE, socialized healthcare, and overthrowing "American imperialism."

He breaks down how Democratic Socialists are co-opting the Democratic Party through low-turnout urban primaries, charismatic messaging, and long-term institutional capture — especially in education.

Topics include:

• Debate with a caller defending Patriot Front / white nationalism
• Rise of candidates like Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan), Zohran Mamdani, and others
• Indoctrination of Gen Alpha and the power of protest culture
• Why good Republican candidates are sitting on the sidelines (Trump endorsements, donor access, etc.)
• Graham Platner rumors in Maine and more

A hard-hitting hour on political strategy, cultural decay, and the real battle for America's future.
