Who Funds that?: Who Funds That? EP 26: Xi’s Useful Green Idiots Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

If you listen to any number of left-of-center environmentalist activists, donors, and advocacy groups, the People’s Republic of China is the environmental champion among the great powers, with the United States a climate criminal that should be taking lessons from the totalitarian Communists. But is that true? And if it isn’t, why are American donors spending hundreds of millions of dollars to claim that it is? Ken Braun, our colleague and author of Capital Research Center’s Enemies of Energy joins us to discuss Xi Jinping’s useful green idiots.

Show notes

Erick opens a Columbus Day edition of the show with a told-you-so on Democratic midterm polling slipping after its Labor Day peak, then takes apart the viral rumor that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was hiding in an Ohio mental hospital. He digs into Elon Musk's $276 million midterm push for Republicans, Speaker Mike Johnson's claim the GOP will hold the House, the federal search of Ilhan Omar's home, and the heated Fox News clash over Trump buying Russian diesel while Zelensky's drones hit Russian refineries.

The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP183: Hour 2 - The Islamic Take Over of the Democrats Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Erick spends the hour on the Muslim Brotherhood and what he calls the soft jihad strategy, starting with a Wall Street Journal report on the little-known donors powering the Democratic Socialists of America, Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate bid, and Zohran Mamdani. He reads from Michael Youssef's book The Unholy Alliance, takes a caller who left Salafism, and argues the answer is exposure and not a strongman on the right. He also covers Kimberly Guilfoyle's shaky ambassadorship to Greece, Hasan Piker, a Ukrainian strike on a Russian data center and the drop in bot traffic, and warning signs under the surface of the stock market.

The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP183: Hour 3 - Skeptical of Noah’s Ark and Worried About Tariffs Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Erick starts with why he does not believe the Durupinar site in Turkey is Noah's Ark, then turns to the Federal Reserve numbers showing one in five families behind on loan payments, trucking bankruptcies, and the Trump tariffs backlash from Howard Miller clocks to Bombardier in Kansas, with callers pressing him on where the tariff money went. He also covers Trump's Friday rally in Dalton for Georgia Senate candidate Mike Collins, why the Nidal Hasan execution should not be live-streamed, and Keisha Lance Bottoms and her "this city literally was burning" line.
