Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Glenn Beck about Abraham Lincoln's early life, personal struggles, faith, and moral evolution during the Civil War; why Lincoln was hated long before he ended slavery; Lincoln's leadership, suspension of habeas corpus, and preservation of the Union; the little known first planned assasination attempt of Lincoln; how John Wiles Booth ended up in a photo with Abraham Lincoln; his new AI project built on primary founding-era documents to create an AI George Washington to analyze American history without modern bias; how artificial intelligence can be used to recover truth rather than rewrite it; and much more.
