My apologies to those of you who want to talk about Gevelte Fish on radio. I'm moving on to other things, so my apologies to all of you are holding. You will be surprised to learn there are multiple people
with opinions on Gevelte Fish, and I got to move on to other stuff. By the way, if you don't get the joke, I don't know very many Jewish friends of mine who I also like it, which is why I chose it. The whole idea of the, it's nonsense. Anyway, I got to move on to other stuff, so I am emesitant to go back to the rich stories of Jimmy Taloriko down there in Texas, but I kind of have to. I have been waiting until this moment to share with my team a story. We have a daily phone call where we prepare the show, and I notoriously cannot keep secrets, and I have bit my tongue to avoid telling them this story, so that I could tell you all on air together, and you could all
hear it for the first time. There is a conservative group of people in Texas who in the past encouraged people to subscribe to my daily email, and I was forwarded a copy of an email from the group leader encouraging them to unsubscribe from my email to punish me. Why? Because ladies and gentlemen, I put up a tweet yesterday about David French's piece on Jimmy Taloriko, and said I disagreed with David French that Mr. Taloriko is decent, but also I would note that there are many of Texas pastor who have taken issue with David French, and none of them
have been bold enough to say that Ken Paxson also is not decent, and that there if decency is on the ballot, you should be voting for John Cornyn in the runoff in Texas, and many Texas Republicans are tired of John Cornyn for various reasons. He probably shouldn't have run again, but the fact of the matter is, Ken Paxson was turned into the FBI by multiple members of his own staff for corruption, and he's cheated repeatedly on his wife. And if character counts in this country, Ken Paxson has none. And so this conservative group that once encouraged people to subscribe to my newsletter are demanding that people cancel their subscription to my newsletter, because I had the audacity to say that a man reported by his own staff to the FBI who's cheated on his wife repeatedly does not have the character to go to the United States Senate. When John Cornyn has voted with Donald Trump 99% of the time, maybe you should stick with that guy instead of a guy who only did not get prosecuted by the federal government, because Donald Trump won the election, and the Justice
Department knew there was no reason to prosecuting, because he would get pardoned by Trump, so they abandoned the case. This is the situation we're dealing with. Do you believe that the country is going to hell in a hand basket? Do you? Do you believe that decline is a choice in too many people in the country have made the choice to decline? Well, I have to tell you, if you're voting for a man whose own staff reported him to the FBI for corruption and who cheated on his wife multiple times, you're part of the problem. And if you want to tell people they should cancel their subscription to my sub-stack, that's fine. I don't really care. I would prefer you if you're the sort of person who thinks that the country's going to hell in a hand basket, but you're not a part of the problem when you're encouraging people to vote for a repeat adulterer who's been investigated by the FBI for corruption. I don't know that I want you to be a subscriber anyway. You can go cancel your own damn subscription. But also, I would note that if you are really upset about David French's
piece on James Tallerico, maybe you should recognize the problems with Kinpaks and two. I do have problems with what David French wrote. Here is what got people riled up, people who didn't read the whole column, mind you. This is what went out on social media. Put simply, if the primary American divide is between right and left, then Tallerico isn't that interesting. There's a long history of progressive religious activism in the United States, just as there is a long history of conservative religious activism. White evangelicals might be overwhelmingly Republican, but American Christians are remarkably diverse politically and we've been arguing with one another for a long time. Yet if the primary American divide is between decent and indecent, then the equation changes. Tallerico shines. Or to put it another way, Tallerico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian and by acting like a Christian, he reveals a
profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that dominated American political life for 10 years. I want to recognize that if you know the story of David French and his family when he decided not to support Donald Trump, he was treated objectively terribly by people. He and his wife Nancy have an adopted daughter who is black and a group of people from their church wanted to lynch their child if I remember the story correct. He wound up leaving that church. They had people come to their house to harass them. I too had people show up on my doorstep to harass my family in 2016 when I didn't support Donald Trump. I had one of my kids was beat up at school because I didn't support Donald Trump. The other one was given a helpful guide on how to kill herself by kids at her church's school so that if she killed herself, I might see
the light and change of heart and support Donald Trump. I know exactly what David French went through and he went through it worse than me. And so I understand his disdain for the version of professing Christians who backed Donald Trump. Do you know my wife had a woman in our church who's no longer there who told my wife after my wife told that her Bible study that she had a genetic, incurable form of cancer and was given two years to live. The woman said she would pray for my wife but wanted to punch me for not supporting the president. Totally get what happened with David. But I would just venture to say I also think that David has been radicalized by his critics and has become very predictable in the New York Times. I think with a lot of his columns if Republicans are in favor of something he's opposed to it. And here he is elevating James Taloriko as one of the quote unquote few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian. I don't think Taloriko acts like a Christian at all. I think he acts like a heretic and I think that pretty much any mainstream Orthodox Christian is opposed to Taloriko.
Yep, that's right. David's kids were receiving texts that people were on the way to their house to beat him up. That's right. Yes, David's kids received harassment by texts that people were coming to their house to cause bodily harm to them for David not supporting Trump. That's what it was. Just awful stuff. But also I don't think that awfulness should then translate into seeing a guy who twists Scripture to lead people to hell to claim that he is a Christian politician. He's not. No Orthodox Bible believing Christian would recognize James Taloriko as a Christian. He's a heretic. Don't give me the judge not less she be judged because Christians are told to discern the very next verse is to not throw pearls before swine, which is a recognition that we must discern who embraces the message and who doesn't. And James Taloriko clearly doesn't. When he stands up and calls women neighbors with uteruses, that's his phrase, don't tell me he's a Christian. When James Taloriko stands up and says the trans community needs abortion to spare me his Christianity.
When James Taloriko uses the annunciation to marry that she will carry Christ and he uses that as a way to make the case for abortion, spare me the rhetoric that he's somehow a model Christian. James Taloriko is a nice guy. He's not a decent guy. And you know what? Hell is full of nice guys. Hell is full of nice guys who didn't need Jesus and heaven is full of sinners who recognize they did. James Taloriko, unless he repents, is probably not going to go to heaven. And you can say that's between him and God. But I'm sorry if we know Christians by their love, James Taloriko loves the world. He doesn't love God because James Taloriko has found every which way to conform God to his lifestyle and conforming his lifestyle to God instead. Christians are not called to come to Jesus and Jesus be changed. They're called to come to Jesus and Jesus changes them. And Taloriko has twisted scripture and changed Jesus into something that's unrecognizable. Christ says he
is the only way to get to heaven. And James Taloriko says, these other religions, they have pathways to heaven as well. No, they don't. If you're Christian, you don't believe that. Now I want you to know that I am not a liar to you and I try never to lie to you. And when I told people for months on end that Jasmine Crockett would be a more formidable general election candidate than James Taloriko, many people thought I was saying that to induce people to vote for Jasmine Crockett and not against James Taloriko who they concluded must actually be the formidable candidate. No, white progressives think James Taloriko is a formidable candidate, but anyone who knows anything about faith and scripture and the demographic makeup of the Texas electorate knows that Jasmine Crockett is more moderate and less alienating to voters than a man who believes that Jesus and God are non-binary. Yes, James Taloriko believes God is non-binary. The God of
all creation who himself embraced he pronouns. You know, James Taloriko believes that we should respect every person's pronouns except God Almighty himself who identified himself to the world as Jesus Christ, a male son of Mary and Joseph, and James Taloriko is like God's non-binary. Let's not respect his pronouns or its pronouns or they themselves pronouns whatever God chooses will choose for it. The remarkable arrogance of a progressive like James Taloriko who claims whiteness is a virus, but we gotta stop the black chick from getting the nomination. Is that not the most remarkably told death thing? You have all of these people including James Taloriko who believes whiteness itself is a virus perpetuating racism and James Taloriko ran against a black woman wanted to keep the black woman down so that he the white racist could get the nomination and he sees no irony in it because that they themselves with uterus need abortion care in the
trans community from a non-binary God that James Taloriko represents and David French says he's one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian. No, David, he doesn't act like a Christian, he acts like a nice guy and you and your family were treated terribly by people who profess to be Christians who will one day have to stand in judgment before God like James Taloriko, but James Taloriko will stand before God and say, I profess your name and Jesus is probably gonna say, I never knew you. And you can say that between James Taloriko and God, but scripture tells us not to throw pearls before swine and scripture tells us that we as Christians must actually discern from those who are and those who are not and we must not have our ears tickled by those who are not claiming to be and we must discern who are the wolves. James Taloriko is not a wolf in sheep's clothing, he's a wolf in wolves clothing and too many
people are blind to it these days because they would rather hate the Jews and hate the Christians and actually hate sin. James Taloriko has never met a sin he hated other than racism and then he ran against a black woman claiming somehow he was more virtuous than her. So spare me the lectures on James Taloriko's faith and decency and Christianity when I can't find that the guy has said anything that isn't heretical. Spare me the lecture on how he's a decent person when he's leading people to hell. You've confused decency with niceness. James Taloriko comes across as a nice inoffensive person until he opens his mouth and then you realize he's the living embodiment of the coexist bumper sticker and people who put the coexist bumper sticker on the car are blithering idiots into all of you. Christians out there nodding along with me right now. The alternative is between John Corden and Ken Paxson, one of whom hasn't cheated on his wife, one of whom has regularly cheated on his wife and been reported to the FBI by his own employees for corruption. There is one decent person in the race. It's not Paxson or Taloriko and if you're a pastor in
Texas who's gotten worked up about David Fritches column on Taloriko, you should be telling your congregation. Character still counts and there's only one person in the race with good character.

Hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the United States. The phone number is 877-977-37425. Should you wish to be on the program? I would be completely happy to have you. Now, I'm not going to go on another Bradford pair tirade as however much I may be tempted to, but they really are disgusting trees and I just need to reiterate they are absolutely disgusting. By the way, you should know that Iran wire, which is a publication outside
of Iran that carries a lot of dissident news, is claiming that within the Iranian government, the president has had no contact with the new Ayatollah and that the Iranian crisis might not be able to pay employee salaries this month. While this is coming, there are multiple news reports that Cuba is possibly running out of money now and unable to pay the salaries of Cuban government employees. The Cubans have been in nationwide blackouts and the western part of the country has been almost in permanent blackout now for over a week. So much so that the American government is authorizing the distribution of oil into Cuba to stem a humanitarian crisis. The president of the United States suggests that the Cuban government may be willing to in some way transition and have a friendly takeover of Cuba. Cubans are in the streets for the first time in decades seriously rioting against the government, which is actually pretty notable. We'll see where this winds up. But the president is completely destabilizing a lot of these regimes around the world that
are hostile to the United States and real good friends with Russia and China. And remarkably, the American press corps keep telling us that somehow China and Russia are getting the better end of what the president is doing when we're destroying their alliances around the world with rogue regimes. Seems like he's actually helping the United States. The relentless negativity of the American press towards the Americans though is remarkable. Now that's one of the reasons that relentless negativity of the left that old glory bank was started because progressives were pressuring banks led by progressives to start canceling the bank accounts of conservatives and they wanted to fight back against the debanking trend. So old glory bank was started at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. And they have great banking options. I got a bank account with them about two years ago and then started begging them to advertise on the show. Old glory bank.com slash Eric is where you can go get your bank account. They do mortgages, they do CDs, they do lending for businesses. They've got great business accounts and they'll
protect your business if you're conservative oriented business base. If you're active to do military, they'll weigh fees for their premium accounts and their FDIC insured. You go to old glory bank.com slash Eric old glory bank.com slash Eric. They stood up against the debanking trends. They got off the ground where other conservative bank ventures failed. They succeeded. Now they're about to be publicly traded on NASDAQ. They're a great group of people doing great jobs. Online bank, your kids can get a custodial account. Old glory bank.com slash Eric member FDIC, equal housing lender terms and conditions apply. Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the United States of America. If you text the word Eric, ERIC to 33777, click on the very first link. That's the show notes. I was actually going to call with the radio group and one of the program directors was bragging about how it's the best show prep out there and we send it all to you, your subscriber. You can get it. Just text Eric to 33777. My buddy, Lee Lynn Vittard on News Nation says it's the best conservative newsletter
in America and he's not wrong. We put a lot of thought into it. If you subscribed, you would see two stories. I find it very interesting. Yamaha is moving its headquarters out of the state of California all the way across the nation to the state of Georgia. After nearly 50 years in Orange County, California, Yamaha motor corporation USA is trading Cypress, California for Kinesa, Georgia in a sweeping corporate shift that will impact 250 workers. The motorcycle and motor sports giants of the move as part of the major structural reform meant to boost profits as costs climb, including pressure from tariffs imposed during the administration of Donald Trump and shifting market conditions. The relocation will begin in 2026 and be completed in 2028. The company spokesman Bob Stars says consolidating
operations in Georgia simply makes business sense. They've already got their marine division in Georgia. Yamaha, they may, I mean, talk about a diverse company. You've got the Yamaha pianos, then you got Yamaha motors and we're really talking about Yamaha motors here, not the pianos. You've got the marine division. You've got motorsports operations. You've got all the other Yamaha motor companies. It's just remarkable, but they're leaving California, which is notable. There's another story. And by the way, they're coming to my state, Georgia. Yay for us. Please don't bring the California liberals with you. There's another story. Exxon is leaving New Jersey for Texas. Exxon has been headquartered in New Jersey for 144 years. In proxy filings on Tuesday, the oil company said moving would mean operating in a more favorable business environment where officials are more familiar with its operations, provide greater certainty for decision making,
and align its legal and physical headquarters. Exxon asked investors to vote in favor of the transfer and its annual shareholder meeting in May, Domas Island in Texas, quote, may reduce the risk of future frivolous litigation against the Texas Corporation and its directors and officers said Exxon in its filing. You have a whole lot of people who are fleeing progressive states for conservative states. Georgia's got now we got Porsche. I would say Porsche, but my wife desperately wants one and she says I have to say Porsche. Can't afford one. One day we'll get one for her if I win the lottery. If I win the mega millions this week, y'all should pray that I win the mega millions. Yes, pray for my winning the lottery ticket. If I do, I will buy my wife for Porsche. She desperately wants one. It's got to be black and have a spoiler on the back.
And the headquarters, North America, right here in Georgia, along with Mercedes. We got Home Depot, of course, which is naturally grown. We got Delta. We got Coca-Cola here in Georgia, but we got a number of companies that have moved into Georgia. Hyundai building a massive facility towards Savannah, Georgia. You got BMW and Boeing, of course, have moved a lot of their facilities to South Carolina, though Boeing is not, they moved their headquarters out of Washington state to what Illinois then to Washington DC. Now they're moving into Missouri. What other companies have we attracted? There's a ton of companies that Georgia has attracted. And I got to say credit to my governor, Brian Kemp, who finally realized that the prior Republican governor did a great job attracting businesses to the state. One of the problems, though, was they were bringing in a bunch of progressives with them and it's changed kind of the character of the Metro Atlanta area. When you have all of these progressives who came from failing blue states come into red state of Georgia and start voting for the progressive policies that are bankrupting those states. And the governor in Georgia, frankly, prioritized homegrown jobs
and talent, which I think is very smart in providing jobs. There's a lot of land south of I-20 outside of Atlanta where they have been now building corporate headquarters and distribution facilities and the like because land is cheap in those parts of Georgia and there aren't a lot of jobs. And the governor of Georgia, who is actually from Athens, Georgia, which is about an hour and a half to the east of Atlanta, depending on traffic, could be three hours. He's like, you know, we got all this stuff in South Georgia and people have kind of forgotten about it and expanding job opportunities for people who live in rural parts of the state. If they can only grow that airport in middle Georgia and make in that they could offload capacity from Hartfield, Jackson, and anyway, I was on the city council and making Georgia for a while. And that airport, if they would just extend the runway by about a thousand feet, could be a remarkable economic hub for South Georgia, but local governments incompetent down there. Nonetheless, I digress. This isn't really about Georgia. It's about southern states, Texas, Florida, Georgia, even South Carolina, Tennessee.
They're stealing businesses away from the coasts from progressive states. The Democrats took over Virginia and Boeing said, you know what? We're leaving here before they raise taxes. We're getting out of here. We're going to Missouri, another red state. Exxon has had its physical headquarters in Texas for quite some time, but its legal headquarters and New Jersey are like, we're done. Tesla moved its legal headquarters from Delaware to Texas. There are some places like Apple is never going to leave California. It's got its fancy headquarters there in Cupertino. It's never going to leave. It's a California company with California values. It doesn't mind paying more taxes. They consider themselves virtuous to pay. But other companies, you got the leaders of Google who have fled the state because of a potential wealth tax. It's kind of funny. In California, Tom Steyer, the progressive billionaire is running for governor and people are like, put up or shut up. Why don't you go on and pay your billionaire's tax now? He claims he supports it. Go on and pay the money now. It's like, I'll wait and see if it passes first. He doesn't really support it, but it's a virtue signal for him. Glock, a buddy of mine just pointed out, Glock, the gun manufacturer,
as its headquarters in Georgia. I've been there. I think, no, I've got an HK, but most of my guns are Glock. And I got a CZ nonetheless. I digress. These progressive states have ruined themselves catering to a progressive mob. They are now business unfriendly. They routinely raise taxes to the point that those who can afford to leave. And they've seen flight. You know, let's take Texas, for example. I talk about in Georgia, how some of these corporations came in and they brought their progressive employees from other states. You know, in Texas, Texas has the largest immigration of people from other states, mostly from blue states. In fact, more people move from California to Texas than from any other to any other state. Californians overwhelmingly chose to move to Texas. And you know, they did a survey of those people because the Texans got a little
bit concerned. They were like, you know, I, you know, we don't necessarily want these people come into Texas. What do they start voting like the vote in California? And it turned out the people who are moving from California to Texas were more conservative than the native Texans. The urban and suburban Texans have gotten soft and they've gotten squishy and progressive and social values and the like. It Dallas is becoming more and more progressive, Houston, pretty progressive. They had been rock ribbed, conservative, various. It's actually the transplants from California that are to the right of the native Houstonites and residents of Dallas and Fort Worth. They're the ones who have kept Republicans in power. The people moving into the state from California, they have fled progressive utopia realizing it's hell on earth. And they've been problem up and now you got all these companies that are realizing that these conservative states are good for business. Conservative states are absolutely good for business. Exxon is going to be
protected from progressive activist lawsuits in Texas. James Talleriko, who we have talked plenty about, a video surface yesterday of James Talleriko saying it's not Christian to allow global warming to happen. James Talleriko is running in Texas and is on record opposed to the oil and gas industry in Texas. As Exxon moves his legal headquarters to Texas, do you really, really think that a guy for the Democrats is going to get elected in Texas running against the oil and gas industry? Really? Do you really think that progressives? Maybe it works in California, but it's not going to work in Texas. Billionaires are fleeing California. I mean, will the last people to leave California turn off the lights because they would certainly hate to fuel fossil fuels? Of course, I think it's all based on unicorn farts and wind at this point in California. That's why the power goes out in California.
They've had to go out and find unicorns to fart to fuel the power grid in California because they got rid of everything else. By the way, you should also know that Chevron, speaking of oil companies, is now telling the California government if their regulatory plan goes forward for the oil and gas industry, they will shut down their oil refinery in California too. Literally every single oil refinery California, by the way, used to have the most oil refineries in the country. There hadn't been an oil refinery built in the United States since I think 1978. The Republicans frankly need to pass another reconciliation bill to waive taxes on any oil company that builds a new refinery in this country. We need the oil capacity. California is shutting down his oil refinery. Chevron says, let's see, marathon has shut its down. What's the other one? Valero has shut its down. Chevron has one of the very last oil refineries in California and says if they
pass this new regulatory framework in California, that would require, get this. This is a shakedown. This is the way that the California government is structuring new regulations on major polluters. And they've classified oil refineries as major polluters. If you want to pollute in California as an oil refinery, you must buy carbon credits from the state or fund the high speed rail system in California. Is that not a shakedown? Of course, it's a shakedown. And in the shakedown, they want the oil refineries to subsidize California's high speed rail system that they can't even get built. Not a single inch of track has been laid in California for that high speed rail system. And they want Chevron and Valero and marathon and Exxon and all the other refineries to pay for it. And all the oil refineries are saying, you know what? We're closing up. We're going elsewhere. The state of Nevada, the governor there, Joe Lombardo, has issued a letter to the California
regulators asking them to kill the regulation because Western states, Nevada, in particular, which borders California is dependent on the oil refineries in California for their gas. And he's saying that California will completely harm the people of Nevada, not just Nevada, though, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Idaho. They're all dependent on those oil refineries. I would say to the governor of Nevada, why don't you get your legislature to pass a law that incentivizes building an oil refinery in Nevada. Say no taxes on any oil company that builds a refinery in Nevada for 10 years, let's say no income taxes to the state for any oil refinery. You probably get someone to come in their build one, the first one in the country since the 1970s. We need more oil refinery capacity in the United States. It's not going to go in a way. All these people like yesterday, I told you I stood up and defended a natural gas pipeline that's literally going to go through my own backyard. We have an existing natural gas easement in our backyard.
And they're going to expand it and they're going to take more of my land to build the natural gas pipeline. And I am totally fine with it because I think we need the capacity. It's a natural national security issue. And a bunch of little hippie commies dared me to go speak in opposition to this pipeline. And I was like, you know what? I'll go speak and they were so excited. The conservative radio show host Eric Erickson was going to go speak against the pipeline. I showed up and defended it. I said it was national security issue. We needed more pipeline capacity. There were no environmental concerns and the actual law, by the way, I was a lawyer says that if their environmental impact, if the environmental impact is not offset by the necessity of the pipeline, the necessity of the pipeline goes forward because there are no viable alternatives to the pipeline. The pipeline trumps the environmental concerns under federal law. And therefore you got to build the pipeline. The hippie-dippy environmental commies were not happy with me. That's okay. We need more natural gas in this country. And we need more oil in this country. Fossil fuels are good. God gave us
dinosaurs to give us fossil fuels. And who are we to argue with God's vision for our nation? They really hate it when you say that, Erickson. But you know what? Who might argue with God? James Talleriko? No. No, I'm actually a Christian. This is the latest from Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman, quote, since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 US service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks. The vast majority of these injuries have been minor. 108 service members have already returned to duty. Eight service members remain listed as severely injured and are receiving the highest level of medical care. And then I would add to that, eight are deceased. How many Iranians have been wiped out? The media is rushing to play this up 140 service members wounded, eight dead. How many
thousands of Iranian revolutionary guard corps members have been killed? What about the leadership of Iran? There is also a report by the way that there is a growing effort by the Iranians. It looks like to try to mine the Straits of Hormuz. I just, I'm again, as we close out the program, I'm really frustrated with the absolute negativity of I expected from the Democrats. And the press corps, of course, is in the pocket of the Democrats. But I just can't remember a news outlet being as relentlessly negative about American military operations as pretty much all of them are now. It's just wild that we're seeing this. By the way, the US has asked according to Axios Israel not to strike Iran's energy and oil infrastructure further. The Israelis
are denying this, but this has hit the press. The wire right here. I was so I would be careful with it, but know that that has been hit. And also, there's a report speaking to California. I can't get out of here without mentioning this story real quick. This is from CBS News focused on Los Angeles. The headline is we visited ground zero for hospice fraud, Los Angeles, California, CBS News Analysis of Records for every hospice operating in Los Angeles County shows that fraud is growing. Despite state efforts to revoke licenses over 700 hospices are still operating with multiple red flags, including geographic clustering, low patient counts and access to billing. The investigation highlights the need for stricter oversight and accountability to prevent taxpayer dollars and ensure accurate hospice care funding. So you got all sorts of problems. In California, and they won't stamp out the fraud. And you know, one of the reasons the California government led by Gavin Newsom will stamp out fraud racism. These are non-white businesses.
And to prosecute fraud and non-white businesses, well, that would be a racist thing to do. It's very much like Tim Walls in Minnesota. They can't prosecute fraud because it's non-white people. And you know, that's just what non-white people do and how dare we stamp it out. That's the thinking of the progressives, not normal people. Normal people want to stamp out the fraud. Wow. So they wonder these, these states are losing people and money. Now, let me tell you about the Eden pure thunderstorm. You can get three of them and save $200 and they have a money back guarantee if they don't wipe out orders. You can get the terms and conditions on the site for the money back guarantee.
