Need For House Speaker Intensifies As Crises Worsen Overseas

The first wave of humanitarian aid entered Gaza this weekend amid the humanitarian crisis building during Israel’s war with Hamas. President Biden is now seeking a $105 billion national security package to support Israel, Ukraine, the US-Mexico border, and Taiwan. However, as the House enters its third week without a speaker, all funding decisions remain at a halt. On the Rundown, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) joins the Rundown to discuss how the U.S. must continue working to rescue hostages while providing military aid to Israel and Gaza. He also explains why he’s hopeful a House speaker will be chosen by the end of this week — despite multiple House Republicans now vying for the spot.

FBI Director Christopher Wray warns that artificial intelligence can become highly dangerous in the hands of our enemies. Besides being used by bad actors as a tool to push propaganda online, A.I. is also currently being used in militaries across the globe. There is now an international race for countries to keep up with the rapidly advancing technology. Senior Fellow and Director at the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology, Bryan Clark, joins the Rundown to explain how A.I. is dangerous when used for propaganda, how it can be weaponized on the battlefield, and the benefits it has in freeing up manpower.
