For decades, artificial intelligence was dismissed as science fiction. Then one lab changed everything.

Inside a small London research company, scientists were teaching machines to play games, predict protein structures, and solve problems humans couldn’t. What started as an obscure AI experiment soon became the center of a global race for superintelligence — with enormous consequences for medicine, warfare, scientific discovery, and the future of human intelligence itself.

On this episode of Morning Wire, journalist Sebastian Mallaby explains how DeepMind helped launch the modern AI revolution and why its founder Demis Hassabis believes artificial intelligence could push beyond the limits of human understanding. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

The Man Who Thinks AI Could Surpass Humanity

One of President Trump’s first major actions after returning to office was offering refuge to white South Africans who faced property seizures and racial violence at home. The decision sparked a political firestorm, but months later, many Afrikaners say their promised path to America has stalled.

Daily Wire immigration reporter Jennie Taer joins Tim Rice to discuss her investigation into the refugee program, the nonprofit at the center of the controversy, and why some refugees have been left in limbo.


They Sold Everything. Then the Flight Was Canceled.

Straight Talk With Iran & Ebola Spreads As Clinics Burn | 5.26.26

A massive pro-Britain rally in London drew huge crowds, counter-protesters, and one of the largest police operations the city has seen in years. Supporters say the movement is about free speech, national identity, and anger at Britain’s political establishment. Critics call it something far more dangerous.

Independent journalist Alan Miller joins Morning Wire to discuss what he saw on the ground during the “Unite the Kingdom” rally — and why patriotism has become such a divisive force in Britain. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

Teen Takeovers Are Spreading. Why?

Air Force One is the most famous plane in the world. With three floors, a fully-functional operating room, and a kitchen that can feed 100 people at once, there's not much the plane can't do.

Today, Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan joins Tim Rice to discuss her latest trip with the president, and give us the inside scoop of what it's like flying on Air Force One. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

Flying With The President

Universities, corporations, and governments that once prioritized objective truth and open debate are increasingly driven by emotional consensus and the fear of offending people. Critics argue that when empathy becomes detached from reality, it can distort public policy, discourage honest conversation, and destroy society.

Evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad joins Morning Wire to discuss his new book Suicidal Empathy, why he believes the West has embraced destructive forms of compassion, and what it will take to reverse course. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
