Following the news of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's discussion on organ transplants and immortality, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to a question raised by NTD congressional correspondent Melina Wisecup on Wednesday morning. Johnson said, "The fact that they were caught in a hot mic first, I've heard, is very telling. It tells you where their worldview is, in contrast to our speaking of evil. ... The United States, we're going to stand for morality and ethics, and we're going to stand against that. There's legislation that you know that would address it, and we might need to put that at the top of the priority list, if that's what's happening."President Donald Trump is hosting Poland's newly elected president, Karol Nawrocki, at the White House on Sept. 3. Paul Jones, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, said that Nawrocki's first official visit to Washington could bring important advantages for Ukraine, citing Nawrocki's steadfast support for the country's defense against Russia.

The Headlines: Scientists Are Developing Brainless Human Bodies for Organ Transplants and Medical Testing Hooters Is Trying to Go Family-Friendly in a $300 Million Rebrand A Pregnant Woman Pulled Off Two Bank Heists—And Tricked Her Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver Scientists Are Working on "Brainless Bodies" for Organ Transplants In what sounds like a sci-fi plot, researchers are exploring the creation of bodyoids—human bodies grown in artificial wombs without brains or consciousness. The goal? To create a sustainable source of organs for transplants and a new way to test medications without using live humans or animals. While the concept raises serious ethical concerns, supporters argue that it could eliminate long transplant waitlists and revolutionize medicine by offering non-sentient test subjects. Scientists are proposing small-scale tests on animals first to see if the process is viable.Source Hooters’ $300 Million Makeover: Less “Hoot,” More Family-Friendly Hooters is in serious financial trouble, with around $300 million in debt and 40 locations shutting down last year. Their latest survival strategy? A family-friendly makeover they're calling "Re-Hooterization"—but some might call it "De-Hooterization." The plan includes: A stronger push toward a family dining atmosphere (yes, Hooters has a kids' menu). A menu overhaul with fresher ingredients. A shift away from the “Hooters Girls” image that made them famous. Will this work, or will it alienate the brand's core audience? Time will tell.Source Pregnant Woman Pulls Two Bank Heists, Tricks Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver In one of the wildest crime stories of the year, a woman in Poland robbed two banks while eight months pregnant—and convinced her husband to unknowingly be her getaway driver. Anna A., 37, got hooked on gangster movies during her pregnancy and decided to live out the fantasy.
