‘Alarming' Reports Spark Concerns About America's Organ Donation System
Last week, President Donald Trump announced America's AI action plan, emphasizing that the country must not allow China or any other nation to surpass it. The plan consists of three key components: accelerating innovation, building data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), co-chair of the U.S. Congressional Artificial Intelligence Task Force, joins the discussion to explore the framework and how the U.S. can win the AI race. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS) recently reviewed over 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which is now called Network for Hope, and found a disturbing trend. The report shows one hundred cases having what they called 'concerning features,' including examples of donors still showing neurological signs, and entailing that an organ procurement processes began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joins the podcast to discuss the report and how they are correcting specific organ transplant procedures.

Rep. Obernolte (R-CA) discusses L.A. protests and Artificial Intelligence
Of all the complexities involving the One, Big Beautiful Bill, congressional Republicans are now dealing with a new-age issue: how to handle artificial intelligence. The House version includes language that would essentially put all regulatory control in the hands of the federal government for 10 years. NewsNation's Blake Burman spoke with Rep Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Research and Technology, who is pushing for that provision to remain.

Here Are The Republicans Changing Their Minds About Trump's Policy Bill
Some Republicans said they were unaware of certain provisions in the massive Trump policy bill that passed the House last month and threatened to vote against it when it returns to the lower chamber after revisions in the Senate, throwing its future into doubt.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said Tuesday she wouldn't have voted for the bill if she knew a provision to block states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years was included, writing on X that she is 'adamantly OPPOSED' to the measure, calling it 'a violation of state rights.' Greene said she won't vote for the legislation again if the Senate doesn't remove the moratorium, though proponents of the provision, such as Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., have said it's designed to motivate Congress to adopt national artificial intelligence regulation, arguing a patchwork of state rules complicates development, according to The Intercept. Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., also said during a town hall meeting in his district last week he wouldn't have voted for the bill if he knew it included a provision that would make it more burdensome for federal judges to hold people in contempt. 'I'm not going to hide the truth, this provision was unknown to me when I voted for that bill,' Flood said. The provision would require judges to set bonds for parties in federal civil suits seeking a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order to cover any costs that might be incurred if the injunction or restraining order were overturned. Advocates of the provision claim it's designed to prevent frivolous lawsuits, while opponents allege it's designed to protect Trump and his allies if they violate court orders, according to The New York Times. Elon Musk has strongly come out against the bill in recent days. He ripped the legislation in a series of more than a dozen X posts this week, calling it a 'massive, outrageous, pork-filled . . . disgusting abomination.' He also appeared to threaten Republicans who voted for it, suggesting voters would remove them from office in next year's midterms. Congress has set a goal to have what's formally known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on President Donald Trump's desk by July 4, though it's expected to undergo significant changes in the upper chamber and be sent back to the House before Trump signs it. Multiple Republican senators, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., have said it adds too much to the federal deficit, while others, such as Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have expressed concerns about cuts to Medicaid. Assuming all Democrats vote against the bill, Republicans can afford to lose no more than three votes to pass the bill. The House approved the legislation in a 215-214 vote on May 22, with only two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, voting against the bill, while three others voted 'present.' Trump personally lobbied Republican holdouts to approve the bill, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., spearheaded several last-minute changes, including raising the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction rate and moving up the deadline for Medicaid work requirements. The legislation would also deliver on some of Trump's campaign promises, including ending taxes on tips and overtime, extending his 2017 tax cuts and additional funding for border security.
