   A new trend is starting with AI girlfriends. Online chatbots claim to offer the perfect online relationship, with the ability of users to customize personalities and physical traits of images generated by AI drawing tools. Yet the bots are already raising some serious concerns over the likely harm they’ll cause to society. The bots are looking to service young and lonely men, in particular, and could fuel the flames of a growing problem of falling birth rates, and of young people checking out of the real world.   In this live Q&A; with “Crossroads” host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

How Taiwan Resisted CCP Attempts to Rig Elections | Special Feature

   The White House has invoked executive privilege to block the release of a recording of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden. The audio is related to the investigations into Joe Biden’s taking classified documents before he was president, and although the written transcript is available, members of Congress are requesting the audio so they can determine whether there’s anything on tape that is not contained in the transcript.   The blocking of the release is only deepening suspicions over what the audio may contain, but the White House invoking executive privilege in the case is also being compared to the question the Supreme Court is hearing in a case related to former President Donald Trump. To what extent should presidents and former presidents have immunity from prosecution?

   Donald Trump has faced waves of criminal charges, unprecedented for a former president and in the lead-up to the 2024 election. The cases were initially framed as detrimental to his prospects of retaking the presidency, but it now appears that the charges may not have the expected effect. So what is the state of each charge? Are the charges helping President Trump or harming his prospects for 2024? In this special episode, we speak with Kash Patel, who under Trump was senior adviser to the acting director of national intelligence, and chief of staff to the acting United States secretary of defense.

   Increasing numbers of Chinese nationals are crossing into the United States illegally through the relatively open border system. This is raising concerns over whether some individuals may have ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or whether the CCP could be using some of the illegal immigrants for its own purposes. Congress is now planning to investigate what role the CCP has in the mass migration, and whether this could tie into its military interests or its programs for espionage.

   A new poll from Siena Research and The New York Times shows Donald Trump winning all but one swing state. While it shows RFK Jr. taking a good portion of votes as well, even with no third-party candidates, the poll still shows a Trump victory. It sends a serious warning that President Joe Biden may need to change his approach to unite his party and win over undecided voters.
