Morning Wire XX
[0] This is Daily Wire, editor -in -chief John Bickley, with Georgia Howl.
[1] It's Tuesday, May 16th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
[2] Across the country, states and cities are dealing with an influx of thousands of illegal immigrants who have entered the country in recent weeks.
[3] On Tuesday morning in Williamsburg, a neighborhood of New York City, students and parents protested both in favor of and against the use of a local school's gymnasium to house the migrants.
[4] Children could be seen holding signs saying, quote, We need recess and chanting.
[5] We support the silence people and not a school of grounds.
[6] We support the silence of the schools of grounds.
[7] There are roughly 150 temporary shelters being used across the Big Apple for the more than 40 ,000 illegal aliens who have come in under the Biden administration.
[8] Many parents feel this poses a safety risk.
[9] Who are they?
[10] Exactly.
[11] Who are they?
[12] Families who fled war.
[13] They're not families.
[14] They're not families?
[15] No, they're men.
[16] They're all individual men coming in.
[17] They're all individual.
[18] And they can come and go.
[19] In the last week alone, 4 ,000 individuals have arrived from the southern border, and the city says it has simply nowhere else to put them.
[20] Mark Halk, the Catholic father of seven, whose house was raided by the FBI back in September, spoke before the House Judiciary Committee today on Capitol Hill.
[21] Halk recounted what's happened to him over the past several months.
[22] That includes the charges he faced from the Department of Justice for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, and the FBI raid on his house.
[23] On September 23rd, my home was raided by 10 unmarked and marked units, state troopers, federal law enforcement personnel.
[24] We proceeded to go into a four and a half month trial, but I was facing 11 years in prison and I had every prospect in my heart that I would be in federal prison away from my seven children.
[25] This all stems from a 2021 incident outside a Pennsylvania abortion clinic in which Halk shoved a planned parenthood escort who was allegedly harassing both Halk and his son.
[26] The IRS agent who alleges the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden has been corrupted by lies and politics is being pulled from the inquiry in a possible act of retaliation.
[27] Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.
[28] The attorneys informed Congress on Monday that their whistleblower client was told that he and his entire investigative team were pulled from the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden's finances.
[29] They said that this change allegedly came at the request of the Department of Justice.
[30] attorneys Mark Little and Tristan Leavitt called the move clearly retaliatory and said it may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry.
[31] The CEO of ChatGPT, the popular online artificial intelligence tool, testified before the Senate today that heavy regulation of AI is needed in order to ensure safety.
[32] Sam Altman is just the latest in tech gurus from Elon Musk to Steve Wozniak, calling for government intervention before it's too late.
[33] When Photoshop came onto the scene a long time ago, you know, for a while, people were really quite fooled by Photoshop images and then pretty quickly developed an understanding that images might be photoshopped.
[34] This will be like that, but on steroids, and the interactivity, the ability to really model, predict humans well, as you talked about, I think is going to require a combination of companies doing the right thing, regulation and public education.
[35] A young girl from Illinois whose abduction was featured on the Netflix true crime series Unsolved Mysteries has been found alive and safe in North Carolina.
[36] Kayla Unbehan was just nine years old when her mother, who did not have custody of her, allegedly took her and went on the run back in July of 2017.
