Discover the deep roots of America's spiritual heritage and its influence on our nation's governance as we guide you through the profound tradition of prayer in U.S. history. We'll reveal the striking number of prayer proclamations—a testament to the intertwining of faith and public life—and tackle the constitutional and biblical discussions surrounding public officials' participation in these sacred events. As we respond to modern critiques, we promise to shed light on the nuanced role of prayer in America's past and present.

Journey with us back to the inception of the National Day of Prayer by President Harry Truman and trace its evolution alongside the changing definitions of "liberal" and "progressive" politics. In a candid discussion, we'll examine the biblical bedrock upon which the founding fathers constructed the nation, supported by compelling historical evidence. Embrace the stories of monumental prayer proclamations, like Abraham Lincoln's during the Civil War, and understand how such calls for spiritual renewal have decisively influenced the course of our country. This episode is not just a history lesson; it's an exploration of the enduring power of prayer and its impact on the fabric of American society.

Could artificial intelligence be perpetuating a new wave of discrimination, under the guise of promoting fairness and equality? We tackle this paradox head-on at the ProFamily Legislators Conference, where we scrutinize the report on AI discrimination, and dissect the left's appetite for 'fairness-aware algorithms.' The push for AI to deliver equitable outcomes has been echoed by the Biden administration.

The implications of AI are profound, stretching far into the realms of banking and the criminal justice system. We uncover how AI in banking might be affecting lending practices due to CO2 emission reduction commitments, potentially sidelining some businesses in favor of others.

The episode also sheds light on the broader societal implications, including ties to the ESG movement and the potential emergence of a social credit score-like system.

Zooming in on the criminal justice system, the episode features a critical look at the organizations behind risk assessment tools used in legal settings, such as those funded by Arnold Ventures. We explore how these tools could be shaping legal outcomes and the real-world impact through a case study from Virginia, showing AI's power to alter judicial decisions. The need for legislation to curb the ideological influence of AI in the justice system is paramount. We wrap up by discussing legislative responses aimed at preserving unbiased justice in an age where technology's influence is inescapable. Join us as we confront these urgent issues, calling for a balanced approach to integrating AI into the fabric of our society.
