Eric Thompson Show Podcast: Unveiling the Truth Behind Political HeadlinesIn the ever-evolving landscape of American politics, few voices resonate as strongly with conservative audiences as Eric Thompson's. His podcast, the "Eric Thompson Show," has become a beacon for those seeking unfiltered commentary on current events, particularly from a MAGA conservative perspective.

On his latest episode, Thompson delved into the recent developments surrounding President Donald Trump's forthcoming address to Congress. According to reports, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are poised to sign a historic minerals agreement, with an official announcement expected during the address.

This deal signifies a pivotal shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations, emphasizing the strategic importance of mineral resources in global politics.Thompson highlighted Zelensky's recent acknowledgment of the need for peace negotiations, a stance aligning with Trump's long-held position that endless wars are untenable. Zelensky stated, "None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer."

This candid admission underscores a potential turning point in the conflict, reflecting the effectiveness of Trump's assertive diplomacy.The podcast also addressed the internal dynamics within the U.S. government, particularly the Department of Education's recent policy shifts under Secretary Linda McMahon. McMahon introduced the department's "final mission," signaling a transformative approach to federal involvement in education. This initiative aims to decentralize educational oversight, granting more autonomy to states and local communities—a move lauded by conservatives advocating for limited federal intervention.

Thompson praised McMahon's initiative, asserting that it aligns with the foundational principles of American governance. He argued that empowering local entities fosters innovation and accountability, ultimately benefiting students nationwide. This perspective resonates with the broader conservative agenda of reducing federal overreach and promoting individual liberties.In a segment addressing congressional affairs, Thompson scrutinized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (AOC) decision to skip the upcoming joint session of Congress.

AOC's absence has sparked controversy, with critics accusing her of neglecting her legislative responsibilities during a critical juncture in national politics. Thompson interpreted this move as emblematic of a broader disconnect between progressive lawmakers and the pressing concerns of everyday Americans.He argued that such actions reflect a lack of commitment to bipartisan dialogue and a disregard for the importance of unified governance, especially when significant policy announcements are anticipated. This sentiment echoes the frustrations of many conservatives who feel that ideological divisions hinder effective legislative processes.

Throughout the episode, Thompson emphasized the necessity of steadfast leadership in navigating the complexities of both domestic and foreign policy. He lauded President Trump's unwavering commitment to America's interests, citing the impending minerals deal as evidence of strategic foresight. By securing access to critical resources, the administration aims to bolster national security and economic prosperity, reducing dependence on adversarial nations.Thompson also underscored the significance of Zelensky's willingness to engage in peace talks, interpreting it as a validation of Trump's diplomatic strategy. He suggested that this development could pave the way for a more stable and secure global landscape, aligning with conservative aspirations for a robust and assertive America on the world stage.

The podcast further explored the implications of decentralizing educational oversight, with Thompson advocating for a return to traditional values and localized control. He contended that parents and communities are best positioned to determine the educational needs of their children, free from bureaucratic mandates that often lack cultural and regional relevance.In addressing AOC's absence from the joint session, Thompson questioned the commitment of progressive leaders to their constituents. He posited that such actions could erode public trust and exacerbate partisan divides, ultimately hindering the nation's ability to address critical issues effectively.Concluding the episode, Thompson called for renewed vigilance among conservatives to uphold the principles of limited government, individual freedom, and national sovereignty. He urged his listeners to remain informed and engaged, emphasizing that active participation is essential in preserving the values that define America.

The "Eric Thompson Show" continues to serve as a platform for incisive analysis and robust discourse, offering a conservativ

A Marine Corps veteran and familyman whose life's creed is faith, family,

Hi, Welcome to the R. Thompson Show. Thank you so
much for joining me. If you want to get more
information on what we're doing over here, head over to
our website, et Talkshow dot com, et talkshow dot Com.
On today's podcast, we're gonna look at what's trending, and
we're gonna start with President Trump is going to give
his first address to the Congress since returning to office.

(01:29):
Before we do that too, I want to let you
know that this podcast is sponsored by Pure Talk. Several
years ago, thousands and thousands of people start leaving AT
and T, Verizon and T Mobile as Rush Limbaugh and
other influencers let us know in the culture that the

(01:53):
technology allows us allowed us back then and continues allows
conservatives to lead the major carriers that are taking parts
of people's bills and supporting plant parenthood and politicians that
are working to tear down our constitutional rights. And the
reason why my wife and I had so many people
left is because it cut our bill about fifty percent

(02:18):
without having to give up our phone numbers or get
new phones. So we went to get Puretalk dot Com,
put our phone numbers in, switched over good to go. Well,
now with five G you can actually even get a
better deal because you can keep your five G network

(02:41):
you're on. You can stay on the biggest five G
network in America. Same number of bars in your phones.
You can stay on the same tower as a major carrier,
but at wholesale rates. Plus you get better customer service
from the team in Covington, Georgia at getpuretalk dot Com.
And now to even make it better, you can throw

(03:01):
your cell phone company overboard like they did at the
teap at the tea party and by switching now you
can get an iPhone fourteen or a Samsung Galaxy S
twenty four for zero cost. Yeah, as your phone broken up?
Is it old? Your cameras aren't that good, so you

(03:23):
just go to get puretalk dot com. You can if
you want to get the phone at no cost, you
just sign up for one of the phones on the
qualifying plans. Bam, you're good to go. Now each month
you pay pure Talk, but the bill is going to
be about half. The average family saves about one thousand
dollars a year. And pure Talk that US veteran owned CEO.

(03:49):
They use some of their profits to help veteran causes,
So one more time check them out. Go to get
puretalk dot com. If you want to take advantage of
the phone at no cost, do it. Customer service can
walk you through in about ten minutes, and then from
that point on, your cell phone bill will become like
my cell phone bill, which is no longer an issue.

(04:11):
And every time it comes out of my account, I
know I'm not supporting woke causes anymore, and I'm supporting
bets by just having a very low self phone bill.
And I'm still helping people win. When when get puretalk
dot com, get p u r E talk dot com.
Okay we go. President Trump is going to make his

(04:31):
first address to the Congress, and as expected, the progressive
George Soros, Barack Obama, World Economic Form, radical AOC mob
and Schumer and all them, they're causing chaos. So the

(04:52):
promising some disruptions during the speech. Now, President Trump, his
speech is titled Renewal for of the American Dream, and
he's going to lay out a vision of extended presidential
power and reshaping the world order. But AOC is not

(05:13):
going to go, and several other other radicals are not
going to go. And what's the reason Because communists, which
is what they are, they have a cause, a godless

(05:33):
cause of taking down governments. So the communists and our
government are trying to take down our way of life.
And President Trump now for the second time, is in
the way of them trying to put in to our

(05:54):
constitutional republic. So as President Trump came out of the ship,
came out him, Steven Miller and all them, and they're
just bam, executive orders, executive orders, firing people, doge. The
communists are like, whoa wait, no you And they didn't
know what to do. Well, now they've got I think
they're getting their footing. They're judge shopping, judge shopping, judge shopping,

(06:18):
going back to the judges that they had in the past.
They would go after President Trump and they're going, you
can't fire those people. You can't do that from the
executive branch. And they're putting out all these rulings, which
is stalling little attempts of the Trump team to deconstruct

(06:39):
the size of the federal government and the excessive operations
of the federal government. So this is going. Now we've
got the radicals going after the vice president on a
ski trip, and you got them now around the country
threatening people. You've got the you got the leakers inside

(07:07):
the government. Christy Nome, head of Home od Security, led
ice raids in northern Virginia as there was a leak
given by a reporter out to the public to say,
make sure you're not home. Flee and what happens if
this doesn't stop, people are going to die. And that

(07:31):
opens a whole nother, no, whole other stage in this
drama that's playing out. So President Trump is going to
be dealing with hecklers. I'm sure he's going to be
dealing with half the side is going to be empty.
The president speech is coming after a whirlwind six weeks

(07:53):
in office in which United States has been royal by
a radical bid led by billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk.
It's it's only radical because it is it is overtly
aggressive to overhaul the federal government by closing down agencies

(08:16):
and firing workers. Now to the left, Trump's cost tromoil
on the global stage, pausing military aid for Ukraine. But
guess what happened. It looks like Zolinsky now is set
to sign those historic mineral mineral to sign that a

(08:37):
historic mineral deal. After all announcement's going to plan for
the Congressional address tonight so that the I think it
was eleven leftists met with the Zelenski before he met
with President Trump and Vice President Vance got them all
worked up, so he acted like a fool. Well, once

(08:58):
it does sell, he's like, oh, you know, I guess
I'm going to sign that out after we're all So
Trump won that confrontation. Trump is also said he's going
to cover four areas his second terms achievement so far
at home and abroad, the economy, and a push for
Congress to pass border funding, and his plan for peace

(09:20):
around the globe. Quote President Trump is the greatest order
we've ever had in the Oval Office. Every time he's
done one of these addresses, Americans have been overwhelming, overwhelmingly
blown away, unquote, his deputy chief Steve Staff, Deputy chief
of Staff Stephen Miller told reports on Monday. So we'll
see how that goes. It's going to be interesting, and

(09:42):
we'll see how juvenile the progressives are going to be
now on a good note, and we'll see how the
courts get involved with this. Lynda McMahon was she was
actually confirmed by the Senate and now she's been tasked

(10:08):
with the momentous final mission to slash the Department of
Education and working with the Congress to try to close
that Marxist portal of indoctrination, this hub that's been destroying
children's lives for generations. She laid out the final mission

(10:33):
in a mission in a message to her staff.

Speaker 2 (10:36):

Speaker 1 (11:07):
The Man's plan would execute President Trump's desire to send
education back to the States, amid an expected executive order
from Trump that would direct the department to offload what
programs that can in agencies to other agencies and assess
what laws are needed to close the department altogether. McMahon
wrote in her post. Our job is to respect the

(11:28):
will of the American people and the president they elected,
who asked tasks us with accomplishing the elimination of the
bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education, momentous, final mission,
quickly and responsibility. She underscored that this process would profoundly
impact staff, budgets, and agency operations in coming months. She said,

(11:53):
we will partner with Congress and other federal agencies to
determine the best path forward to fulfill the expectations of
the President in the American and people. We will eliminate
unnecessary bureaucracy so that the are collegist K twelve school
students and teachers can innovate and thrive. Good news there
and President Trump's team, this agenda has been his good.

(12:16):
I can't think of anything that I really disagree with
so far. So with this aggression building up from the
leftist to communists trying to somehow cause tension, distract from

(12:37):
the agenda and from the rogue judges trying to stop
the firing of unnecessary employees, even those who are on probation.
And I think eventually Supreme Court will say yes, the
executive has the authority to fire people who are not
protected because they're still on probation per their contracts. This

(13:02):
this is this is the play on the left is
going to run and I don't think I know they're
not going to succeed. The question is going to be
how conjointed, how what will it look like when most
of the agenda gets through and then there's these these

(13:23):
like segments that that are held up and all of this,
all of this energy, then it's going to turn to
the midterms because last night the Democrats in the Senate
voted to prevent boys men from participating in women's sports. Yeah,

(13:50):
well all of them said, nah, you know, it's it's
okay if guys are in showers at the girls, It's
it's okay. If a six foot two guy is beating
up the girls in the games and us in their noses,
it's okay. Now that that's about a seventy eighty percent
approval to prevent men from participating women's sports. So the
Democrats are completely wrong on this topic and it could

(14:15):
come back to bite them in the midterms, which, as
we march on, the midterms are going to be enormous
this time around, not just something that people should kind
of vote in. We need the fervor and the energy
the Conservatives need to turn out like it's a presidential election,

(14:38):
because if the Conservatives and the Republicans could actually increase
their numbers in the House in the Senate, this would
be a four year u turn for our nation. If
the Republicans allow the Democrats to take the House or

(15:00):
Senate in two years and a year and a half,
two years, everything's going to come to a screeching halt.
So this is what we the people need to be
working on. And I'm going to be looking at what races,
according to the RNC, are up for the taking and

(15:21):
which ones are a jeopardy and then reach out to
turning point and it' Scott Pressler and his group and
find out how do we acquiesce around people knocking on
doors to make sure we don't lose the House, we
actually increase the numbers in the House. And when we
do this, we get good just we get legislation that

(15:43):
is going to make us very happy. Montana Republican lawmaker
introduced a ban on the unconstitutional red flag laws. Center
represented Broxton Mitchell's push a House Bill eight or nine
to throart any further attempts by localities to adopt red

(16:06):
flag laws in the state of Montana. And if you
don't know, a red flag lass trips away constitutional rights
the Second Amendment based on accusations alone. Did you know that?
So what a red flag lass is if you know somebody,

(16:32):
you can anonymously turn them in for the police to
go to their house even though they if they haven't
done anything wrong, and take their guns, and then make
that person go to court to convince a judge that
they should get their guns back. This is not post crime.

(16:53):
This is if they hadn't done anything, but somebody anonymously
said you you should check these people out, you should
go take their guns. Yes, that's a violation of the
Second Amendment. Congress shall pass no laws preventing the right

(17:13):
to bear arms. Well, that is a unwarranted You don't
even get to you don't even get to know your accuser.
But when you put people in positions of authority that
respect the Constitution, you get people going after these unconstitutional
laws at the local and state level. Instead of waiting

(17:35):
for the Supreme Court to have to fix all of
these decisions, have to rule on all of this junk.
This is the problem. Everything is Can the executive branch
fire people in the executive branch and in the lower

(17:55):
court said no, and then they find another they hope
that another liberal federal will uphold it, and then it
gets up to the Supreme Court in six months. It's
just going to be constant. But if we give the
president more senators and House members, more judges that fear

(18:18):
God and uphold one to uphold the Constitution, will get
in will be put in place, and they can tell
this insanity, these ridiculous lawsuits, read the Constitution. Why did
you bring this case? So I'm gonna leave it here

(18:44):
on this podcast. Make sure you check out President Trump's
first speech to the to the House, or to the Congress.
Keep track of what's going on with the Department of Education.
Keep track of what judges in what states are stopping

(19:04):
the firing of unnecessary employees that were identified by Doge,
and understand the lawsuits. The cases we're losing at the
lower courts, I believe will be overturned at the Supreme Court.
So we need to be pushing our congressmen and senators
at the federal level to keep pushing on regardless of

(19:26):
they're setbacks. And then we need to make sure at
our local level and our state level that we are conservative.
We have school boards that are protecting the children with
good curriculum, and then we have state senators and representatives
that are doing the will of the people, not the

(19:48):
will of the communist. So do you thank you again
