House Intel Chairman Talks Biden Docs, COVID Origins, and Hope for Ukraine

With a new Republican majority in Congress comes a fresh set of priorities — as many House committees prepare to conduct investigations on Capitol Hill. One GOP priority is learning more about the classified documents found in President Biden’s possession, as news that the President may have obtained documents during his time in the Senate seems “incomprehensible” to many lawmakers. Additionally, as the war in Ukraine rages on, ensuring Ukrainians receive sufficient aid and that the US keeps a close eye on potential threats from Russia and China remains a top concern. Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH), who is now the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, joins the Rundown to discuss why he is “completely taken aback” by how President Biden possessed classified documents from before his vice presidency, how he believes the Russia-Ukraine war could impact a potential conflict between China and Taiwan, and what his key concerns are as the leader of the House Intelligence Committee.

There is growing concern over artificial intelligence computer programs, like ChatGPT, that are capable of writing human-like answers to questions or even composing essays and speeches. For example, educators have warned that students are already using the AI-based ‘chatbots’ to cheat. Lawmakers, fearing where the technology could go, are already considering regulations. However, some tech experts are downplaying the negative impact it could have.  Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson explains why programs like ChatGPT are becoming so popular … and controversial. He also explains what AI programs may be capable of in the future.
