Episode Description from the Publisher

Democrats are elevating fears over artificial intelligence just before the midterms to attack Trump’s push for American technological dominance. Victor Davis Hanson warns that binding the U.S. to international AI controls could amount to unilateral disarmament if China and Russia refuse to play by the same rules.Victor argues that the problem with importing immigrants from failed states who lack a desire to assimilate is that they often recreate conditions for their original country’s decline. He examines Abdul El-Sayed’s supporters in Dearborn, who mourned the death of Ayatollah Khomeini as a case study for this phenomenon. Victor also critiques the true legacy of Obama, the race divisions that led to the rise of wokeness and lack of value for personal accountability in the zeitgeist.Allegiance Gold - Visit http://protectwithvictor.com to learn about a special Liberty Offer.  GhostBed - Go to www.GhostBed.com/VDH and use promo code VDH to receive 10% off!  Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit http://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 and for a limited time your first gift to ADF will be MATCHED by a special matching grant—while funds last.
