Podcast DescriptionOn today’s episode of The Eric Thompson Show, we unpack a political whirlwind that’s sending shockwaves through Washington. President Trump’s economic policies are making headlines once again as his latest tariff moves are raking in record revenue for the U.S. government—without raising taxes on the American people. Critics scoffed, but the numbers are now undeniable: the Trump strategy is working, and it’s funding America’s future.We also break down the final passage of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative victory that touches everything from border enforcement to trade reform. Breitbart calls it a “career-defining achievement,” and it’s clear that Trump’s America First agenda is far from finished. The bill’s passage further solidifies his legacy and sets the tone for a potential return to the White House in 2025.To top it off, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made a jaw-dropping claim: that Anthony Fauci was secretly pardoned—shielded from public accountability. What does this mean for the so-called pandemic experts and the political elites who protected them? We expose the narratives, confront the spin, and ask the hard questions no one else will.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
On today's podcast, will.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Be covering the BBB very close to becoming law. The
House Representatives have it back after the Senate signed off
on it only because of VP vents Vance being the
breaking votes as some of the Republicans actually voted against
it over at the House or at the US Senate.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
We'll it's going to be Look at the tariffs, you know,
those maligned.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Terrorists President Trump put in place, Well guess what the
revenue they are generating is record level wait to hear
the numbers. And well a little bit in an RFK
junior laying out his opinion that doctor Fauci was pardoned
because he was complicit with the COVID nineteen pandemic. So again,

(01:18):
thank you for listening. This is Eric Thompson Show. All right,
the House Representatives are doing their final push to pass
President Trump's tax and spending bill. The US House Representatives

(01:40):
On Tuesday, they launched the final portion of the legislative process,
which would make President Donald Trump's.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Big Beautiful Bill law.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
After the Senate narrowly passed the sweeping tax and spending
cuts package. When a tie breaking vote from Vice President JD.
Van took place, House Rules Committee Chairman Virginia Fox, Republican
North Carolina, immediately called the panel into session, a prerequisite
to the legislation moving to the House floor. So here's

(02:13):
where we're at. Some of the Republicans have a big
problem with the changes. Matter of fact, a couple of
the more conservatives in the House to members of the
Conservative block they're going to vote against the changes, including
Representative Ralph Norman, Republican South Carolina, and Chip Roy of Texas.

(02:38):
They oppose what they considered be the absurd changes made
by the Senate of the version passed out of the
House in May. Norman said, what the Senate did to
our bill is unconscious, noble, unconscious noble, Norman said to
the Rules Panel. But those two guys actually can't stop it.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's getting it out of committee. When it gets the
House floor, that's another story. Because Speaker Johnson pretty much
needs all the Republicans on board, so we will see
how that's going. If they are able to work this out,
they will help President Donald Trump get his career defining
achievement passed into law.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
On X.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
President Trump, after JD Vance casts the tie breaking vote,
posted quote, it's no longer a House bill or a
Senate bill. It's everyone's bill. There's so much to be
proud of, and everyone got a major policy win. But
the biggest winner of all of them will be the

(03:50):
American people, who will have permanently lower taxes, higher wages
and take home pay, secure borders, and a stronger and
more powerful military. Addition, Medicaid, Medicare, and social Security benefits
are not being cut, but are being strengthened and protected
from the radical and destructive Democrats by eliminating wayte fraud
and abuse from those programs. Looks like it's most likely

(04:17):
going to pass as they are I'm sure twisting more
arms and giving into requests like Sena Markowski of Alaska
did at the last second to become the last vote
needed to get a tie in the Senate, allowing the
Vice President to break the tie. So it looks like
the BBB possibly could be on the President's desk by

(04:42):
today the second or July third tariffs. Remember President Trump said,
we need reciprocal tariffs. We need to make sure we're
not being taken advantage of by the world. Well terrafts.

(05:04):
Trump's terriffs drive record US revenue without inflation and a
stunning display of economic leadership. Dedministration of President Al J.
Trump has overseen the collection of more than one hundred
and twenty one billion dollars in tariff revenue since the
beginning of the fiscal year, with projections projections, a projection

(05:26):
suggesting that June alone will yield an additional twenty seven billion. Now,
these figures not only affirm the efficacy of the President's
America First trade policies, but also dismantle long held miss
that tariffs necessarily result in higher prices for consumers. And

(05:47):
this has been the argument, Oh, we can't. We can't
go to the world and say, well, you're charging US
twenty five percent to bring products in Germany, So it's
twenty five percent if you bring your products in our
let's reciprocate. Well, right now, it's way out of bout it.
It's before President Trump, it was way out of balance.
Maybe three percent tariff coming in twenty five of us

(06:11):
going into other nations. And the reason why is the
politicians were telling us, oh, no, if you raise, if
we raise the tariffs on products coming in, they will
pass that on to the prices that America consumers will

(06:32):
have to pay, which will drive inflation through the roof.
And nobody wanted to take that chance. When a Trump's
senior trade advisors said, this money belongs to the American
people and we're collecting it without taking it from their wallets.

(06:52):
Economist Wilfred Frost, President of the White House Briefing praise
the administration's efforts to forge a new Chapter and Anglo
American trade relations. Thanks to these efforts, the US now
enjoys preferred access to keep British goods and services while
maintaining a strong stance against trade manipulation by adversaries such

(07:13):
as China, Iran and even certain European actors. Frost said
these deals are about mutual respect. In the days of
the US being the global ATM are over. So President
Trump's gonna most likely get his BBB beautiful, big, beautiful

(07:35):
build into law. Is tariffs are working a massive revenue.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
And this is.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Why as much as the rogue district judges have been
trying to and continue to try to slow President Trump down.
And even though the left wing media is doing everything
they can, she try to discourage people and to resist

(08:04):
ice and resist the tariffs. When you are pushing your
agenda with tenacity, organized war roomed out, your success will
look like the Trump administration right now because they war

(08:25):
roomed this is the plan every level. This is what happens,
and they push and they push and they push, and
they're relentless. So President Trump is having is having a
really good last couple months, especially.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Before we get into what's going on in Iran, let
me tell you. One of my sponsors over here I
have three is Pure Talk. You may have heard them
Rush Limbaugh and to several talk shows. And the reason
why we are promoting Pure Talk is because you do
know that if you are with AT and T, T Mobile, Sprint,

(09:07):
Rise in any of those guys, did you know that
you are supporting woke cell phone companies that take some
of the profits that you give them. So if you
pay your rising bill, you may be supporting plant parenthood.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
If you pay your AT and.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
T bill, you may be supporting a company that gives
money donations to politicians who are trying to strip away
our first a memo rights.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
You don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
So it's here's a really simple way of stopping that insanity.
Head over to this website. Go pure p u r
E talk dot com. Go pure talk dot com. My
wife and I've been with them for years, I said,
Rush Limball, H Clay and bug Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Here's here's what's going on.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
You get to leave the Wold companies without losing any coverage.
You stay on the nation's largest five G network in
the large in the in the nation's largest network towers.
So you get to you get to leave the Wold companies,
go over to pure Talk out of Covington, Georgia, US

(10:21):
based customer service CEO is a US veterans so they
use the money to help vets. And you get to
go over to pure talk at gopuretalk dot com and
you get to keep the coverage, but you don't have
to buy new phones or sign a long term contract
month to month.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
And guess what.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Average family saves one thousand dollars a year making the move.
So if you would like to stop supporting wol companies,
get better customer service, keep the same coverage, save on
average about a thousand dollars a year, which means you
don't send it in, which means it stays in your
bank account, and go month to month, and support my podcast.

year and could not be or happier with the customer service.
All right, what do you think is going on in Iran?

(12:21):
What do dictators do when they are found to be weak?
They start killing people, a lot of people, but their
own people. Well, mass exit executions are taking place in Iran,

(12:43):
executing citizens claiming that they were Israeli agents undercover seven
hundred people in the aftermath of the devastating twelve day
military conflict that left Iran's nuclear program in ruins and
the male military leadership decimated.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
As we kept.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Killing their leaders and then when someone would replace the
one we killed, we go kill them. Not a good time.
The Islamic Republic has launched a brutal, godless cracked down
against his own people, executing, resting, executing citizens and arresting
over seven hundred individuals. It claims now where Israeli spies.

(13:26):
On June twenty fifth, five Iranian authorities executed three kurdishmen,
address Ali Azad Shojal and Razul Ahmad Razul in the
northwest city of Ermia. The regime claim they had smuggled
assassination equipment into a Ran disguise as alcohol alcoholic beverages
for Israeli Masad.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Intelligence agencies on and on America.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
We need to as we come up on our two
hunred and fiftieth anniversary, we need to really celebrate the
rights in the in the protections we have living in
a constitutional republic. We don't want to take it for granted.
But poor Iranians getting wiped out because their government is

(14:18):
trying to get due, to deflect and to get the
attention off of themselves.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
R K Jr.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Keeps rocking the boat. He says Fauci was pardon because
he bears a lot of responsibility for creating the creation
of COVID nineteen. Here is a little segment of it.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
He got immunity. Why did he need immunity? You know,
why did he need a pardon in advance?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
What do you think the answer is?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I would be speculating, and he's talking, he's being interviewed
by Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
But I think I think there. I think he was vulnerable.
I think he had a lot of liability on creating coronavirus.
You know, he was funding precisely that researche ad, the
Wuhan lab, and he was giving them the technology. He

(15:26):
was giving them. You know, he gave them not only
the technology, the precise technology for developing that pathanagen.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, how much more? This is the head guy
of HHS. Now it's all right. So Fauci was pardoned
because he bears responsibility for creating COVID nineteen and that
was in Fauci was granted immunity in advance in case
you did anything wrong over a ten year period. I

(15:59):
think think you were going to be pardoned just in
case we're going to try to catch it all.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
During that period because.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
And I don't know, I don't know who was actually
in control of the Biden auto pin. I don't know
who was actually running the White House, if it was
Obama's people or what.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
But I don't think there's any doubt at this point.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
That that uh, doctor Anthony Fauci, for whatever reason greed
or just nefariously evil for other people, gave the technology
and the funding to Eco Health whatever they were, so
they could get the big work done over at WUHAN.

(16:51):
And again here's what Kenny said when asked by Tucker Carlson,
why did he Fauci need immunity? Why a preempty parton
actually this was Kennedy asking, is rhetorical? Back to Tucker,
Kennedy asked in a recent interview the answer he suggests
as chilling. Fauci wasn't merely a bystander. According to RFK Junior,

(17:14):
Fauci funneled funding transferred critical technology to the Wuhan Lab,
giving China researchers the precise tools to engineer the pathogen
that would later be known as Star's Kobe two. If
proven true, this would be one of the greatest scandals
in modern history.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
And even though.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Republicans are running the House, the Senate, the White House,
trying to get all of the dots and the teas
that were crossed, and all the emails and everything from
the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases NAIAD, headed
by Fauci himself, has been difficult. What's your thoughts on

(18:06):
COVID nineteen. Was it created to try to create the
world's pandemic so the New World Order could go into
place through the Great Reset? Something's really I think it's
a lot. I think it's a lot deeper than a
sloppy lab tech that let it get out of the lab.

(18:30):
Because I lived in California, and I believe I had
it in January. Supposed it was released in November December,
I believe. But we have a lot of insitors coming
in from China into San Francisco. But all I know
is the highest levels now are telling us that Fautia's
pardon because he bears a lot of responsibility for creating

(18:52):
COVID nineteen. May this never be allowed to happen again, obviously. Now,
I did want to also remind you, guys, if you're
listening for the first time, or if I've told you
before and you haven't heard it, but you probably want
to be You probably want to have a good kit

(19:14):
from doctor Vladimir Lenko, the doctor that helped come up
with the Zelenko protocol, which even helped President Trump get
over COVID nineteen. Doctor Vladimir Lenko came up with the
protocol ivermectin hydrocorquin memember that President Trump was getting mocked,
doxy cycling, dex, and meta zone Z stack. Doctor Vladimir's

(19:37):
Lenko and his team came up with several products. My
wife and I take Z night because his whole the
whole idea behind the science.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Of Z stack.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
When you go to get the letter z stack stack
dot com. When you go to get z stack dot com,
you're going to see the products. The Z kit would
allow you to have your own ivermectin, hydrocorquin doxycycling, dexamethasone
Z stack kit in your closet or if you travel

(20:08):
in case there's another pandemic that comes out of China
or somewhere else, you can also have Z night. You
can have z stack. The main first products support your
body's natural immunity. Z spike helps your body to even
for gummies for the kids, to keep the body detox,

(20:28):
get better sleep, and if another pandemic starts to hit
you pull out your kit. So be prepared, especially when
I think seventy or eighty percent of the pharmaceuticals are
coming out of China and India. What if they don't
provide them in another global situation. Products are probably made
in the US. They're endorsed by Freedom Fighting Doctors, manufactured

(20:50):
in a CMP certified facilities, certified, kosher, non GMO win
win win, So check them out. Go to get the
letter z stack sta ck dot com. Get z stack

save at checkout. I love the products. You'll love the products,

(21:13):
great reviews, great quality, get the letters z stack stack
dot com promo code is save to say fifteen percent.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
All right, let's finish with this.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
For quite a while now, I have been sounding the
alarm that there's a tsunami coming in the United States,
especially an economic tsunami. And this is why I believe
it's let's say six seven years ago, I was doing

(21:57):
some Uber rides around Google and Polo Alto, Facebook and
San Mateo, Apple and Cupertino, California. I was a talk
show host on sixteen eighty in Fresno, California, so I
was getting a double benefit. I would go up there,

(22:19):
interview people as I was giving them Uber rides, and
then drive back to Fresno, which allowed me to share
with people what was happening. And I was hearing it
kind of off the record from the teams, like the
artificial intelligence teams, the robotics teams, and I had all
kinds of people just almost like I guess the bartender

(22:39):
hears a lot. Well, they were telling me a lot,
and they were telling me back then, so sex seven
eight years ago that AI robotics would eliminate the pharmaceutical
the need for pharmacists in the future, the need for

(22:59):
truck dry in the future, the need for attorneys, the
need for teachers, on and on journalist would eliminate those
jobs we're talking, you know, millions and millions and millions
of jobs would be gone by twenty thirty. And while

(23:20):
that was going on, I remember I took a guy
and he was an executive consultant and he was I
was taken him. I believed in Microsoft or Yahoo are
one of the offices down there in Santa Clara, And
I said, what is the first thing. What's the main
concern that the executives are telling you, like the CFOs

(23:44):
when you come in and say we're going to come
in and help your business to be more profitable, what's
the first thing that they want to know? And he said,
how to cut labor. So we had technology forming exponentially,
and we have this desire from companies from Taco Bell
to McDonald's across the country because the forest higher minimum

(24:06):
wages to technology companies who with AI would not need
coders and developers anymore because it would be done by
the software. And people have been telling me, oh yeah, well,
AI is coming. No, there's a there'll just be jobs
will be just moved from this job over to this

(24:26):
because of the creation.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Of jobs from AI whatever whatever I said.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
No, the problem is since the border was open and
we got about twenty five million low skilled workers in America,
now non citizens, illegal aliens, visa overstays when they're doing
the blue collar, lower wage blue collar jobs. While the
technology is coming like a tottal wave and it's going

(24:54):
to get rid of the middle management, and also the
technology of robotics like you know, the the vacuum cleaner
that will go clean your house on its own, or
some states are low on water so they're getting rid
of grass so you won't need landscapers, et cetera, et cetera.
There's going to come a point where there's going to

(25:15):
be such a high level of loss of jobs with
millions of low skilled workers that there's going to be
I think an economic tsunami a problem. Well, here's a
story we'll finish on Microsoft to lay off nine thousand

(25:40):
more workers and latest job cuts Microsoft, you know, the
leading US software company, is laying off four percent of
its workforce and a new round of job cuts and
these are not low paying jobs. The company slashed six

(26:01):
thousand jobs in May, and six thousand jobs in June,
and now nine thousand.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Jobs in July.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Previous cuts were intended to flatten the organization by reducing
layers of fewer managers. Those are those middle managers I
was talking about. Microsoft Chief financial officer Amy Hood said
in April during an April earnings call. As of June
two h and twenty four, the redmand Washington based company

(26:29):
employed two hundred and twenty eight thousand people worldwide.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
But see, they've got to get at lower and lower
and lower. And this is why.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, Microsoft reported at income of twenty six billion dollars
in revenue more than seventy billion for the third quarter
ending in March. First is still one of the most
profitable profitable companies, with the market capitalisation of three point
seven trillion according to fast set fact Set. But you

(27:03):
know what, if you don't need the labor, if you
don't need the managers because the AI is doing it,
just go lay them off.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where do they go?

Speaker 1 (27:16):
So if this becomes the norm, just like with teachers,
I think as a software becomes more and more, I
met the guy that wrote software that's being used was
being used in California to help assist teachers and then
eventually phase them out by creating software and working with

(27:36):
the student at the student level. I mean, if you
didn't need school buildings and everybody could learn from home,
how much would that save not having to run the building,
the maintenance and the labor.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
And I know none of us want that. No, that
would be terrible.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
The kids need to be around other children, and I
agree with you. I just want you to know, b
if you're looking for work, make sure you're looking for
work that will be here, will be available in the

(28:17):
next five years. You know, unless you're unless you're getting
to a retirement, take what you can. But if you're
looking for a kind of a career change, make sure
will actually exist. Like the guy talked to at Stanford
was getting his, uh his master's degree or there's a
law of degree, and I said, what are you gonna

(28:37):
do if AI takes all of the lower level positions
and does the the case work and does all the research.
Is why I hope that doesn't happen. Because I got
about a quarter million dollars in student loans something like that.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
It was very high. If you have.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Children that are in high school, make sure that they
are getting being prepared to enter in when it's time
into being educated into a field that will exist. And
my last thing I'll say is, from what I've seen
in research, the best jobs to go into are blue
collar work trade jobs that not the low skilled. Millions

(29:19):
of people are can do the ones that can do
the plumbing in the electrical work up to code and
are hireable. Millions of positions are open paying thirty forty
fifty bucks an hour. But Microsoft's laying off and so
many other people are laying off, and stores are closing

(29:41):
while we're having an economic boom and the reason why
things are restructuring. So be aware, be prepared. Just like
I said about z stack, when you go to get
zstack dot com, you keep your immunity up and you're
prepared if there's another pandemic. Promo code was saved to
say fifteen percent. So be prepared and always that you
can be. But it looks like, to summarize here, President

(30:06):
Trump's having a good week. Supreme Court ruled earlier that
the judges cannot do nationwide injunctions. I mean things are
going good. His main legislative pieces looks like it's going
to soon be signed into law. Tariffs are creating record
revenue without the inflation that people were afraid of. The

(30:27):
poor Iranians are dealing with the fallout of their government
and being embarrassed. An RFK junior is sharing that Fauci
was pardoned because he bears responsibility, significant responsibility for providing
the resources and needed to create GET for the Gain

(30:49):
of Function research which created COVID nineteen. All right, well,
hope you guys have a great day. If you don't
hear my next podcast before the fourth to July, have
a great fourth of July. You live in a great nation.
My name is Eric Thompson Against Again. The website e

talk to you later.
