S15 EP166: Hour 2 - Rick Jackson’s Ad Campaign

Erick breaks down the numbers in the Georgia governor race, where Republican Rick Jackson has reserved $40.5 million in ad time against Keisha Lance Bottoms and her $42,000. Erick calls Jackson's foster care and Atlanta riot spots the best political ads of the cycle. Then to Michigan, where Mike Rogers is sitting on opposition research that has Abdul El-Sayed saying in his own words that the government overfunds breast cancer research; and to Texas and Florida, where James Talarico and Angie Nixon are handing Republicans the tape. Plus, callers on Iran's enriched uranium buried under Pickaxe Mountain, why America cannot refine its own sweet crude, and Saudi Arabia firing a Chinese-made Dongfeng missile in Yemen.

• Mike Rogers, Abdul El-Sayed, and the coming breast cancer research attack aimed at Michigan's white women voters
• James Talarico's AI-generated attack ads in Texas versus Florida Republicans simply rolling tape on Angie Nixon and David Jolly's money problem
• Iran's enriched uranium under Pickaxe Mountain, Kharg Island, the Bab al-Mandeb choke point, and Brad Thor's "Choke Point"
• Sports betting's spread through ESPN and golf, the 59 percent checking account gap, and Sydney Sweeney's newest ad controversy
