GOP Midterm Worries, Pipeline Shortages, Iran Escalation, Tariff Fight

from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson

Republicans Fear Losing the Midterms: I react to audience feedback and growing concern among Republican strategists that the president is not focused enough on domestic priorities ahead of November. If Republicans lose Congress, the president's entire agenda collapses — and impeachment becomes inevitable. America Has Natural Gas but Not Enough Pipelines: The U.S. is facing manufacturing slowdowns despite an abundance of natural gas, all because pipelines are blocked by regulatory and environmental roadblocks. I explain how Democratic policies are strangling their own states while southern states benefit from faster approvals. Iran Tensions Rise as Military Pressure Builds: The president considers sending a second carrier group to the Persian Gulf as negotiations with Iran continue amid sabotage and fires. Benjamin Netanyahu makes an emergency visit to the U.S., signaling how serious the situation has become. House Republicans Block Tariff Rollback Despite Rising Costs: Republicans work to stop a vote rolling back tariffs even as new studies show families paying roughly $1,000 more per year. I break down how tariffs are now hurting wages, prices, and economic growth heading into the midterms. Erick Erickson breaks down the four major stories you need to know before the day ends. From political power plays in Washington to breaking developments the mainstream media is ignoring, this rapid-fire update cuts through the noise.   Text ERICK to 33-777 for "Show Notes" and to stay updated on all things Erick Erickson. www.erickerickson.com https://www.youtube.com/@ewerickson  https://rumble.com/ewerickson  Stay grounded, stay informed, and keep the faith.
