The Eric Thompson Show Podcast is a no-nonsense, truth-first platform that dares to challenge the mainstream narrative with facts, faith, and fierce patriotism. Hosted by conservative commentator Eric Thompson, this daily podcast cuts through political spin and media censorship to deliver hard-hitting commentary on the most pressing issues facing America today. With an unapologetically Christian and constitutional worldview, Thompson tackles the breakdown of law and order, the failures of progressive leadership, and the threats to American sovereignty and liberty.In recent episodes, Thompson addressed President Trumps’s DOJ response to terrorist threats on U.S. soil, including reports that the White House may finally take action by deporting family members connected to the Colorado terrorist attack. He highlights the hypocrisy of open-border policies while Americans suffer the consequences of unchecked migration and increasing domestic threats. With razor-sharp insight, Thompson calls out the Biden administration’s delay in defending citizens while upholding radical policies that undermine our national security.Thompson also weighs in on President Trump’s renewed America First doctrine, pushing other nations to submit their best trade deals or risk being sidelined. He discusses internal rifts among Republican leaders, notably the growing divide within the MAGA movement over reckless spending and bloated bills. As political tensions rise, Thompson provides principled analysis grounded in conservative ideals, economic realism, and biblical truth. This podcast isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s for patriots ready to finish the race and stand firm for God, family, and country.Some elements of this podcast may include AI-generated content, such as cover thumbnail images, show descriptions and some background audio.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Welcome to The R.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Thompson Show.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thank you so much for joining Meut today's podcast, we'll
be looking at a little bit of a civil war
going on in the MAGA movement over the Big Beautiful Bill.
We'll also be looking at the fallout of the terrorists,
you know up in Colorado. Well, this morning, it looks
like his family members are gonna be getting deported back
(00:33):
to Egypt, you know, after he fire bombed Jews in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But not too quick.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
A Biden judge popped in here as I was getting
ready for the podcast to say, now, let's keep them
around even though they're in the country legally too. Well,
we're not gonna you can't deport them right now, Trump,
just another federal district judge. We'll also look at Oh,
there's all kinds of goodies here. We're gonna look at
ten things you can do to kind of make sure
(01:00):
your ice sight doesn't go out on you. I thought
that would be interesting, real health thing. And the Trump
team is demanding to all the nations around the world
you need to submit your best trade deals this week
or you're gonna possibly miss out. So thanks again for listening.
If you want more information, and when I'm doing over here,
head over to my website et Talkshow dot com, et
(01:21):
Talkshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'll bear back.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh okay, Like I said.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This morning, the White House announced Secretary Christian Elms said
today the DHS and ICE are taking the family of
suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorists and illegal alien Mohammed Solomon into
Kiss into ICE custody. The White House later said they
were going to process them and looking into deporting the family,
(01:57):
the wife and the five children. Makes sense, right, I mean,
these are they were in the country illegally. Their family
husband Mohammed Solomon, forty five year old Egyptian national immigrants,
as he was screaming out, you know, for for the
(02:19):
Palestinians and to uh for a call and for his
proclamation to the police that he wants to kill all Zionists.
I'll throw fire into a church and try to kill
people because they're Jewish, because or for uh, you know,
for for Zion, for Israel. We sure don't want to
(02:43):
send his family home, nah, that would be mean. So
that that is a big change in that story from
earlier today is that the Biden judge blocks Trump from
deporting family of Egyptian terrorists charged with fire bombing Jews
in Colorado. Our founding fathers set up the Supreme Court,
(03:08):
and every other court in the United States are inferior
courts set up by the Congress. They cannot have imagined
that hundreds of federal judges district judges would block the
efforts of the executive branch to keep our nations safe,
(03:29):
to cut our debt into to function as a cost
souci republic with a chief executive officer and commander in
chief as a primary leader of the nation. But that's
what's happening. So the terrorists and the family will remain
(03:53):
in our nation because of a federal judge. Another story
that I found interesting was for quite a while now,
President Trump has been insisting that his big, beautiful bill
(04:16):
that passed the House must get passed through. So it
barely made it through the House. But now Marjorie Taylor
Green says she regrets voting for it because there's a
provision in there that actually prevents states from intervening on
AI development by the federal government in their states, which
(04:38):
is really unconstitutional. But she said, well, I don't really
like it now, but it's in the Senate Elon Musk
came out has come out against it because there's a
growing divide in the MAGA movement as several prominent Trump
allies appear to be aligning with Musk in opposition to
what they see as an establishment style, big beautiful bill
(05:00):
to raise the national debt ceiling. So this split is
exposed the deep tensions in the conservative base between traditional
fiscal hawks and trumpetlist who favor political pragmatism. This is
pretty similar to those who join the MAGA movement who
(05:20):
are socially liberal when we're dealing with abortion bills and
stuff like that. But this time it is Elon Musk
saying interest payments have already consuming are already consuming twenty
five percent of the government revenue. This massive deficit cannot
continue to grow. Well, some prominent politicians, including ram Paul
(05:49):
it's calling the bill a Elon Musk sided with ram
Paul calling the bill a disaster for fiscal sanity, must
say this does not reform its business as usual.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So Rand Paul, who.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Typically though a libertarian, will vote against pork and excessive spending.
So this was not a big surprise. The fact that
a Margie Taylor Green now is speaking out against it.
That's a surprise.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
President Trump responded to round Paul's comments, calling Paul a
grand standard, warning Republicans not to sabotage a winning deal.
He said, quote Ran votes no on everything. This is
(06:47):
a post on trus social Rand votes no on everything,
but never has any practical or constructive ideas.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
His id he has are.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Actually crazy losers. The people of Kentucky cannot stand him.
This is a big growth bill. A White House Chief
Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security forty
five and forty seven also defended the BBB. He tweeted
out the BBB is non appropriations bill. It does not
(07:22):
fund ninety nine percent plus nine nine plus percent of
the government, zero dollars for Partner of Education, zero dollars
for HUDs, zero dollars for EPA, not a cent. BBB
would cut taxes to port the illegals in reform welfare.
We could have never dreamed of a bill like this
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
He continued.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One of the bigger points of confusion of the BBB
as spending versus tax cuts. The lefty CBO says extending
the twenty seventeen tax cuts preventing their expiration increases a deficit.
Some critics have seen this figure or and claimed or
implied the bills increases spending. And then he goes on
(08:09):
and said that's nonsense. So you have Steven Miller, who
I really have a lot of faith in President Trump's
who's just selling the bill versus Elon Musk emptg Ran Paul,
(08:29):
I mean, of course, Thomas Massey, Republican Kentucky. Former Trump
advisor Steve Bannon have also echoed sentiments about this needs
to be there, needs to not have all the spending
in it, and should not increase the national debt at all.
(08:55):
Paul said, quote, we were elected terrain in spending. That
rubber stamp trained dollar packet is unquote. He said that
on the Senate floor. He added, the blind loyalty to
political personalities underminds some movements fundamental goals. Massy and former
Trump advisor Bannon echoed the sentiments. Massy retweeted muss criticism,
(09:15):
writing fiscal conservatism is not dead, it's just not invited
to mar Lago anymore. Bannon, on his popular War Room podcasts,
argued that Trump is miss reading the moment and warned
that many, many grassroots conservatives are fed up with back
room deals disguised as reform. That's a big deal. Bannon
(09:39):
has been really a big ally for the Trump Maga
movement through his very popular War Room podcast. Now the
clash also includes pro Trump and in fluens is like
(10:00):
Laura Lumer and Jack Pisobiac.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Who's they're going after Musk? See that?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So the tension is all over the place. Now these
two are saying, well, no, no, no, no, Elon is
trying to get everybody upset, and that he's actually he
infiltrated the conservative movement with Silicon Valley values, while others
(10:32):
held Musk is a necessary disruptor. So they're saying, basically,
he's not of us and he's just a disruptor. So
there you have it. Those are some of the people
that are going back and forth on social media, some
going over to Elon's side, saying no cut, cut, cut,
(10:53):
cut cut, that we're already a twenty five percent of
all government interest payments already can are already consume twenty
five percent all government revenue, so we cannot afford to
add more debt, need to get inflation under control. President
Trump's furious because he wants to go through. Steven Miller
says that Musk is off on this. Ram Paul says, no, no,
(11:16):
this is actually heavy spending. Massy and Steve Bannon are
agreeing with him. Then you got lower Loomers and Jack
Pisobiak saying that no, Musk is wrong. He's got an
agenda and this is all inside the family tent of
make America great again. So make sure you're up to
speed on what's going on in the bill, make sure
(11:37):
you're talking to your representatives, and hopefully this back and
forth does not do significant damage to the movements because
President Trump needs to keep his momentum because some poles
are still showing him over fifty percent national approval, which
is awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
All right. That's kind of a two negative stories.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The first one I thought would be good, but the
second one.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I knew it would be not.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Everybody would like the idea that there's fighting inside the
MAGA movement, but it's just a reality. And I'm hoping
the district judge gets overturned and Ice and Home mad
Security deports the family members of the Egyptian terrorists sooner
than later. And one last thing I thought we'd cover here.
(12:33):
Dealing with the economy, President Trump's team is demanding that
nations submit their best trade deals ahead of deadline. President
Trump was actively preparing I'm sorry signaling for a stark
(12:55):
shift in America's trade posture, issuing a bold directive to
foreign governments, submit your best trade proposals now or risk
missing out altogether. According to reports confirmed by Trump campaign
officials and trade insiders, countries have until Wednesday today to
submit what the team is calling their best and final
(13:18):
trade offers. The strategy reflects Trump's long standing America First
economic doctrine, and his intendants use hard deadlines and public
pressures to extract more favorable terms for US workers and industries.
The directive came via top Trump advisor Curtis Ellis Junior,
who made it clear that nations should not expect the
(13:40):
same leniency or appeasement they received under the invited administration.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
This is not business as usual, Ellis told reporters. Unquote,
President Trump made it clear the era of one sided
deals is over. So here's what's going on. President Trump
put out to America is going to be putting up
(14:06):
getting revenue out of tariffs to deal with our debt,
and the nations have been taking advantage of us, and
so we've back and forth with China and all these countries.
But just like anything else, when there's a movement and
the kinds of starts, when it starts to stall, then
you have to throw out, Okay, here's the deadline. Give
(14:29):
us your best deal on terras. If you don't get
it to us, then you're just going to miss it.
Economist Larry Kudlow, a former trub advisor, said, the American
people are tired of getting ripped off. Trump is putting
the word on the world on notice. The free ride
is over. If these countries want a seat at the table,
(14:51):
they will have to come with role offers that benefit
American workers. Of course, critics on the left argue that
such aggressive posturing could damage global relations and destabilize markets.
Not a surprise, back and forth, back and forth. Why
(15:11):
should we keep giving away the farm all foreign countries
put tariffs on our products, asked Doug Harper, a still
worker in Ohio. Trump's right to set a deadline. It's
about time someone fights for US. Anser, noting the timing
of the announcement may serve a dual purpose, not only
to engage in early trade groundwork, but also to contrast
(15:32):
Trump's decisive leadership with many with many conservativesy as passive
and muddled economic policy. During the Biden administration, Biden's trade
representatives failed to produce any meaningful updates to existing trade
frameworks and struggle to contain China's economic fluent influence, which
(15:57):
is why Trump's team is eager to fix all of that.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So that's important.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I think got to get this tear iff business all
put to bed, everything finalized, and then just keep moving
forward with the agenda. But we'll see how this budget,
this bill goes with the MAGA party split. And I
wish the federal judges would get wish the Supreme Court
would put an end to these national in junctions that
(16:25):
they're to keep pulling off. I think you during the
argument about the about the birthright citizenship, they dealt we're
dealing with that issue. I'm hoping the ruling comes out
and says you are limited to your jurisdictions and federal
(16:46):
judges cannot do nationwide injunctions, and that would fix a
lot of problems overnight. All right, one last thing, are
your eyes important to your eyes and vision ran across
this article thatot'll we go over some things. Ten things
you can do to try to protect your eyes and
vision this summer. It's almost here. Bright sunny days, rising
(17:10):
temperatures increase danger to your eyes. During the peak of summer.
It's good, there's going to be plenty of long days
at the beach and hikes through the woods. It could
also bring increased UV rays that can damage your eyes.
Prolonged UV exposure as serious risks to your eyes, including countaracts,
(17:32):
gross and even cancer. So here are some habits you
probably want to adopt. You want to wear sunglasses to
block UV light, no brainer, I've been I always wear sunglasses.
I don't like squinting, so exposing your eyes to ultraviolet
rays may cause damage over time. Wearing sunglasses can block
harmful UV light, lowering your risk of eye disease like cataracts, sunburn,
(17:56):
eye cancer, and gross around the eye. This is per
the America can Academy of Orthomonology. Is that how you
say that or whatever? Polarized glasses with smoker gray lenses
may offer to offer the best protection against the sun
rays and reduce glare. Take screen breaks every twenty minutes
(18:18):
Prolonged screen times can cause dry eyes, pain in the
neck and shoulders, blurred vision, headaches, and digital eyestrain and
computer vision syndrome.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The American.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Atoumetric optometric, but I'm justusing my mind. But you know
I'm saying association tometry tometric. Oh well, America whatever Association
recommends using the twenty twenty twenty rule to prevent computer
vision syndrome. Every twenty minutes, look at something at least
(18:51):
twenty feet away for twenty seconds, so help your eyes
out where sunglasses of block you'd be like takes green
breaks every twenty minutes take book breaks to it, even says.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The Geno.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Screen time isn't to any way to strain your eyes.
When you read a book, you probably hold it up
close for long periods. Both activities can lead to near
sightedness or myopia. Myopia which means far away objects are
blurry while up close objects are clear. It makes you
take break books. Also, you're going to move your body
(19:31):
for both overall and eye health record. Exercise can provide
health eye health benefits such as promoting healthy blood vessels
and lowering your risk of developing glycoma and diabetic Retsin
retina man Retino for penni fifany going to the American
(19:53):
Academy of that long one again reports the CDC commends
the one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate activity. So
you want to move your eye. You want to make
sure that you are regularly exercising. This is actually going
to help your eye benefits. It's gonna up your eyes.
(20:18):
Take book breaks, take screen breaks, and wear sunglasses with
u V protections. Get outside as much as possible. Definitely
want to quit smoking. Eat balanced meals, rich and vitamins.
The foods you eat every day can improve your eye health,
including eating foods rich and vitamins A, C and E, MAGA,
(20:38):
three fatty acids, et cetera, and does zeke can help
cit or growth, lower eye tissue inflammation along with lutin
and the fatty acids, and it helps them lower it
I tissue inflammation and limits free radicals that can damage
your eyes.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
There you go, avoid rubbing your eyes bitually.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Rubbing your eyes can cause eye damage or infections. It
seems like a no brainer. And also keep your hands
out of your eyes and everything else, and resist the
urge to find something else. It does say here instead
of rubbing your eyes using use eye drops or saline
(21:25):
to clean your eyes and keep them moist. Wash your
hands before touching your face your eyes, and take off
your makeup at the end of the day. So just
some items there. They seem straightforward, but I thought, well,
we'll just go over some of them. I can't say
some of those associations because I think they're ridiculously named,
but you get the point. You have to take set.
(21:49):
With the sun long days coming up in the summer,
it's a time to really consider things you can do
to protect your eyes and vision, because if you're getting
older like me, you want to make sure that you
do all you can to protect your health. Well, thanks

Speaker 2 (00:39):
But not too quick.

A Biden judge popped in here as I was getting

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'll bear back.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh okay, Like I said.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This morning, the White House announced Secretary Christian Elms said

suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorists and illegal alien Mohammed Solomon into

I'll throw fire into a church and try to kill
people because they're Jewish, because or for uh, you know,
for for Zion, for Israel. We sure don't want to
(02:43):
send his family home, nah, that would be mean. So

(03:53):

Security deports the family members of the Egyptian terrorists sooner
than later. And one last thing I thought we'd cover here.
(12:33):
Dealing with the economy, President Trump's team is demanding that
nations submit their best trade deals ahead of deadline. President
Trump was actively preparing I'm sorry signaling for a stark
(12:55):
shift in America's trade posture, issuing a bold directive to
foreign governments, submit your best trade proposals now or risk
missing out altogether. According to reports confirmed by Trump campaign
officials and trade insiders, countries have until Wednesday today to
submit what the team is calling their best and final
(13:18):
trade offers. The strategy reflects Trump's long standing America First
economic doctrine, and his intendants use hard deadlines and public
pressures to extract more favorable terms for US workers and industries.
The directive came via top Trump advisor Curtis Ellis Junior,
who made it clear that nations should not expect the
(13:40):
same leniency or appeasement they received under the invited administration.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
This is not business as usual, Ellis told reporters. Unquote,
President Trump made it clear the era of one sided
deals is over. So here's what's going on. President Trump
put out to America is going to be putting up
(14:06):
getting revenue out of tariffs to deal with our debt,
and the nations have been taking advantage of us, and
so we've back and forth with China and all these countries.
But just like anything else, when there's a movement and
the kinds of starts, when it starts to stall, then
you have to throw out, Okay, here's the deadline. Give
(14:29):
us your best deal on terras. If you don't get
it to us, then you're just going to miss it.
Economist Larry Kudlow, a former trub advisor, said, the American
people are tired of getting ripped off. Trump is putting
the word on the world on notice. The free ride
is over. If these countries want a seat at the table,
(14:51):
they will have to come with role offers that benefit
American workers. Of course, critics on the left argue that
such aggressive posturing could damage global relations and destabilize markets.
Not a surprise, back and forth, back and forth. Why
(15:11):
should we keep giving away the farm all foreign countries
put tariffs on our products, asked Doug Harper, a still
worker in Ohio. Trump's right to set a deadline. It's
about time someone fights for US. Anser, noting the timing
of the announcement may serve a dual purpose, not only
to engage in early trade groundwork, but also to contrast
(15:32):
Trump's decisive leadership with many with many conservativesy as passive
and muddled economic policy. During the Biden administration, Biden's trade
representatives failed to produce any meaningful updates to existing trade
frameworks and struggle to contain China's economic fluent influence, which
(15:57):
is why Trump's team is eager to fix all of that.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So that's important.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I think got to get this tear iff business all
put to bed, everything finalized, and then just keep moving
forward with the agenda. But we'll see how this budget,
this bill goes with the MAGA party split. And I
wish the federal judges would get wish the Supreme Court
would put an end to these national in junctions that
(16:25):
they're to keep pulling off. I think you during the
argument about the about the birthright citizenship, they dealt we're
dealing with that issue. I'm hoping the ruling comes out
and says you are limited to your jurisdictions and federal
(16:46):
judges cannot do nationwide injunctions, and that would fix a
lot of problems overnight. All right, one last thing, are
your eyes important to your eyes and vision ran across
this article thatot'll we go over some things. Ten things

vision this summer. It's almost here. Bright sunny days, rising

Rubbing your eyes can cause eye damage or infections. It
seems like a no brainer. And also keep your hands
out of your eyes and everything else, and resist the
urge to find something else. It does say here instead
of rubbing your eyes using use eye drops or saline
(21:25):
to clean your eyes and keep them moist. Wash your
hands before touching your face your eyes, and take off
your makeup at the end of the day. So just
some items there. They seem straightforward, but I thought, well,

some of those associations because I think they're ridiculously named,
but you get the point. You have to take set.
