S15 EP162: Hour 2 - Affordability
Summary
Erick Erickson discusses the economic fallout from Iran's attacks on shipping, arguing that high diesel and inflation prices are intended to hurt the GOP ahead of the election. He urges Republicans to be honest about these costs while blaming the Biden administration for the current mess. The episode also analyzes the Jacob Coxon AI resignation story, which Erickson characterizes as a coordinated PR operation by Anthropic investors and left-wing groups to push for restrictive AI regulations.
