So what did the FDA say in its filing and why the delay until next year?

So what the FDA said, they were required by the court to give an update on the status of the abortion pill safety review because the public has largely been completely in the dark about what's going on with this.

And so all the update said was that we cannot expect the review to be done until December and the public won't hear of it until March, which means that's about two years after the review was started is how long it will take us to get any information.

And what's really significant about this is that regulatory action takes about a year to do.

So that means that with this March timing, we would not be able to see action to restore the in-person dispensing requirement or take any other action against the abortion pill likely within this administration.

So if there's another Democrat administration, we may never see action on the abortion pill with this timeline.

Now, Elizabeth, when the Biden administration changed these procedures, these protocols, they didn't go through that lengthy process, right?

It's a good point.

So what exactly happened? Did political people at the White House or David Sachs, who I thought had been given his walking papers, did they actually try to get in the middle of Tennessee and some of these other states that are coming forward with legislation to protect children, ma'am?

Yes.

So we already knew this is something that was happening.

I have written in the past about Utah and Florida where the Trump administration has gotten involved in these states in AI legislation, usually legislation that has safeguards for children and has called people in power or sent emails or memos that lead to the bill being killed.

And it has been revealed now that this is happening in two more states, Tennessee and Missouri.

In Missouri, I spoke to State Senator Joe Nicola, who introduced a bill to put a variety of transparency and safety limitations on AI, saying that AI doesn't have personhood, limiting potential deep fake videos made by AI and saying that the AI operator is the one who would have the responsibility for such illegal images.

And he got a call.

You have an exclusive about this, about he's stepping up to say this is another program destroying American kids and American workers and we got to stop it.

Just go through the reporting, ma'am.

So it was reported by Axios, um, earlier this week that James Blair, deputy chief of staff for the president, told Republicans to emphasize deportations of criminal illegal immigrants, that's illegal immigrants with a criminal record, rather than mass deportations.

And I looked into, I was able to confirm this with people who heard it from Blair himself and then was able to look into reactions from various wings of the Republican Party.

There are some Republicans who are more conservative who said that President Trump ran on mass deportations, and he didn't want, this lawmaker did not want, um, the media or Democrats to slow Republicans down from that mission, citing a poll, another great poll, that says that 73% of Americans believe an immigrant, illegal immigrant, is a criminal just by crossing the border, no other crimes necessary.

So that was the reaction on one hand.

Many Republicans think that the president needs to stick with that mass deportation promise rather than just focusing on criminals, while other Republicans told me that this is actually something that they've been asking the president, asking the White House to change their focus on.

One representative, Ralph Norman, even told me that this has been the focus of the administration all along, has been on cr- criminal illegal immigrants.

Do you think now that there's a coalition, now that there's additional polling, and now that people are saying, "Hey, you ran on this, you won on this, and we need this in our own communities," you think that'll change attitudes up there, ma'am?

Is that correct, ma'am?

That is correct.

So the context here is that the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is going to put forth a national framework on AI.

And so anytime that a state, particularly a red state, passes a law limiting AI in any way, that kind of raises the bar for that national framework on AI.

And so we've seen the White House taking a stand against a couple of bills now that have limits on AI, and particularly protections for minors.

We saw this in Utah last week with a bill that had child safety and transparency requirements, a pretty low bar in AI that the White House wrote a memo opposing.

And then now I reported that the White House has also taken a stand against a Florida bill, the Florida AI Bill of Rights, which, as you said, Governor DeSantis is responsible for, and it was introduced in both the Florida House and the Florida Senate.

And he's not shy by saying this is like my number one priority, ma'am.

Can you tell us about your job?

Yes.

So it has been such an exciting job.

I started covering the White House specifically in February.

I was previously at the Daily Signal, but I was covering more of the social issues related topics and then switched to the White House after President Trump's inauguration.

And so the day to day job looks very different based on what's going on in the president's schedule each night.

I will get the president's schedule for the next day.

I'm just curious, can you walk us through how you got to where you are now? What did your internships look like in college and how did you end up at The Daily Signal?
