Trump's AI Fight, Treasury Yields, China and Ukraine Rail Attacks

1. Trump and the AI regulation fight. Trump's opposition to AI guardrails puts regulatory capture and competition with China at the center of the debate. The case against tighter controls rests on concerns that major companies could shape rules to protect their own interests. 2. Treasury yields and federal spending. The 10-year Treasury's move to 5%, as cited in the episode, raises questions about borrowing costs and fiscal discipline. Trump's proposed $5,000 payments face scrutiny alongside spending decisions by both parties. 3. China's AI dilemma. A warning attributed to China's top spy chief highlights concerns about AI's potential to destabilize one-party rule. The discussion connects those fears with information control and a reported disruption involving WeChat. 4. Russia targets Ukrainian rail routes. Attacks on trains serving Ukraine raise concerns about travel and Western support. Ukraine's expanding long-range weapons production adds another dimension to the war, alongside the argument that Russia's tactics reflect growing pressure.   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.
