Summary

Last week, House Republicans passed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" with a narrow vote of 215-214, following weeks of negotiations. The multi-trillion-dollar bill is now headed to the Senate. However, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is unhappy with the bill's hefty price tag and claims there is enough opposition to halt the process until more deficit reductions are included. Senator Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss his criticisms of the budget bill and his plans to investigate the Biden Administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Joe Biden. According to recent reports, artificial intelligence showed signs of resistance when being told to shutdown. In one case a model even showed the willingness to blackmail engineers who wanted to replace it. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Robert J. Marks, joins the podcast to discuss his assessment of AI's ability to harm us, take our jobs, and manipulate human capabilities. Plus, commentary from New York Post Columnist, Karol Markowicz.

0:59.6	It already passed the GOP-led House, but it's facing skepticism in the GOP-led Senate.
1:01.8	What we've had so far is just rhetoric.
1:03.8	We've got a slogan, one big, beautiful bill.
1:04.7	Very similar.
1:08.2	This is almost identical to what happened with Obamacare.
1:12.5	We had a slogan repeal and replace, and nobody really had a good way of doing that. We speak with Senator Ron Johnson. I'm Jessica Rosenthal. AI models may be showing

1:32.3	And we have people behind the scenes at all of these AI companies
