Dr. JAY RICHARDS of The Heritage Foundation takes us behind the scenes on internal disagreement at the White House over the abruptly-delated AI Executive Order and how the United States must stay ahead of China in the AI race.
JAMES ROSEN, chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax, unpacks this week’s Texas Senate Primary and how it set the stage for an epic battle this November which could determine control of the U.S. Senate.
