military helicopters used to transport soldiers to the battle field deploy medevacs and deployed for separations. >> we l with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected. we will share more information as it's available. please pray for all those affected. meanwhile a police news conference is expected at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. we will bring you the latest on the tragedy throughout the morning. >> steve: indeed. some of the pima area say that they heard the choppers lo low over some houses there was a pop and then two booms. the question is, aside from the pilots, were there any other penal on board because, as we just said, they are used for transporting troops. how many people might have been on board we will know shortly. >> ainsley: those helicopters can hold six people or more. >> brian: two hours the house weaponization committee will hear from former attorney general erec smith on what he is

calling a massive speech operation. >> ainsley: the censorship complex was led by the biden administration. >> steve: gillian turner is live at the north lawn of the white house and she joins us with a preview of coming attractions. >> gillian: hi. good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. the president doesn't have any public convenience on his schedule today. we do not anticipate hearing from him directly. as you mentioned 9:00 a.m. the kick off the hearing. they told us yesterday that they plan to launch a whole round of fresh accusations against top officials of censorship and collusion with social media. there is a lawsuit pending right now. former republican state officials. two of them, including the new senator from missouri who was formerly the states attorney general are suing over what they call censorship of covid and hunter biden related story. this from steve schmidt the biden's administration coordination and collusion with nongovernmental organizations to censor speech was far more pervasive and destructive than

ever known. we anticipate the white house is going to want to respond to these accusations later on today. the president also right now battling the polls. approval rating among voters stands at 44%. with 56% overall disapproving of the job is he doing in office. his approval among democrats fairly -- a lot higher actually 81%. in terms of the it 2024. half the votes, 52% someone else in the next office down just slightly from 53% in february. just 44% of voters say that they would like to keep pine. now the white house not yet with regards to this hearing responded to the lawsuit or talking points republicans put out ahead of testimony that is coming today. as we said we anticipate they will want to respond to that. democratic lawmakers have been very outspoken on the president's behalf. they say the whole weaponization subcommittee is a farce anyway. they say they are designed to

seek political vengeance against democrats -- against republicans. brian, ainsley, steve. >> steve: gillian, so the former attorney general of louisiana and missouri they filed a lawsuit against the federal government last year during the discovery process they were able to interview a bunch of people including dr. fauci. they know a lot about what happened. the big question is, did they discover that any laws were broken? because, you know, congress writes the laws and if congress doesn't like the law that people follow, they got to change the laws. >> gillian: yes. erec smith and jeff landry, they say they have evidence now, steve, that precisely that has happened. that laws were violated. i think what they are hoping to start today with this hearing is to prevent their side of the story. >> brian: will violation of the first amendment is still a problem in this country. thanks a lot, gillian. appreciate it. the president of the united states, the former president of the united states got to feel

good about these fox news polls. he is just killing the field, lapping the field. this is right now among the leading contenders for the republican nomination. >> ainsley: look how well donald trump is doing. he is getting 54%. more than half. in february he was getting 43. what do you think changed? do you think everything he is going through? >> steve: rumors about the indictment clearly helped him. that's what everybody is saying. >> brian: second half. >> ainsley: many haven't gotten in the race. >> steve: most of them. only three or four have. and he leads. the thing about ron desantis is ron desantis is not declared whether or not he is in or not. what's interesting about this particular primary poll is that of those republicans who said that donald trump is their first choice, a majority of them said ron desantis is their second choice. here is one other thing that came out yesterday and that was the quinnipiac poll, same topic. who do you like better between the republicans and donald trump

beat ron desantis. in that one 47-33. but, here's the thing. a majority of american voters said that president trump should be disqualified from running if he is indicted, according to quinnipiac. 88% of democrats and 55% of independents; however, three quarters of republicans say that criminal charges should not prevent donald trump from running. >> ainsley: i think the reason he is doing well because of everything he has gone through. people think if he -- you know, if he runs, the democrats are scared is he going to win so they are going to do anything they can to stop him. i also think when you look at national security and russia and china, how tough he was. and i think the economy. the economy is number one. that's the number one concern on everyone's mind. inflation, economy. we were doing better under trump. >> brian: the i think the strongest thing for the president of the united states his policies look so much better than the current president, number one. number the two current president looks like he can't get three

sentences out without a script and most of those he eats anyway. and we are watching a situation as totally out of control. around the world with russia, who had better policy there. in the middle east, how is it going when donald trump was in charge? central and south america? how was it going? how was the border? how was inflation? inflation the number one issue. trump had it at 2%. this person, the current president where it's between 6 and 9% since he took over and they told you it was transitory. if he could stay to the issues run on what he could do versus what he did he would be extremely strong. ron desantis i can do the same thing only can i do it without the drama. that's what he is going to run on head to head. i assume he is going to try to stay out of the mud. if they do get in the mud. keep in mind, that is usual. obama and hillary killed each other personally and politically 41 and bob dole personally and

politically. john mccain and w. so when they start going at it with each other don't be like wow we are in unprecedented times. it is typically. >> steve: that's why other republicans are delaying whether or not they are going to get. in chris christie is probably going to get. in glenn youngkin is probably going to get in as well. desantis. >> ainsley: why do you think they are doing it? >> steve: because they are just seeing how it all plays out. if trump is indicted in the next month or two. >> ainsley: that changes everything. or does it. >> steve: they're waiting to see. >> ainsley: or does it. >> brian: indictment or accusations he will feed off those accusations. if the trials start kicking in and whatever, that will be the issue. but the indictment will be a -- then the question that everyone has got to ask themselves who could win the general? >> steve: to that point while the fox news poll show that donald trump would win the primary. the republican primary, the quinnipiac poll actually looked at donald trump vs. joe biden. and as of today, joe biden still

beats donald trump in 2024 by a couple; however, ron desantis does beat joe biden by 2 points, 48-46. of course, we are still, what, a year and a half away from any voting. it is really early. but, nonetheless, there is so much involved. and here's the thing. every time this administration talks about something that isn't related to your money, or the economy, or inflation, they love that. because the number one thing that bothers you about how things are going in this country right now is how much it's costing you for everything. we were just talking about how much repair of a household item was and it was an unbelievably expensive thing it. would have been a small number a little while ago and now it's through the roof. >> ainsley: or interest rates. >> steve: can't afford a house. >> ainsley: found a house. in negotiations and there is a securisecurity.

he locked in interest rate it hasn't gone through yet. trying hardest if he goes and buys another house. >> steve: the scwaw ter got zero percent interest rate. >> brian: have they tried grab being limb by the hair and yanking him out? >> steve: that would be assault. >> ainsley: different state south carolina get out. >> brian: 41 lost against bill clinton because of the economy. the economy was ready to turn around and nobody believed it. >> steve: it's the economy, stupid. >> brian: ask yourself who was better on the economy just on pure results and you ask yourself again, larry summers says the rescue package we have never recovered from a rescue package that we didn't need the touch we were energy

independent. >> brian: that particulars people off. >> steve: after russia and ukraine started tangling and paying 6 bucks for gas. we are still north of 6%. 6% takes its toll on every household in america. >> brian: the world is on fire outside of our borders, too. he was supposed to bring a sanity to it because he had 50 years of foreign policy experience. how is that going? >> i mean, you can't beat -- we have never in our lifetime been this close to so many conflicts in so many regions. >> ainsley: so true. >> brian: has joe biden said a word about it? >> ainsley: hand it over to ashley for more medicine lines. >> ashley: we are going to start with a fox news alert. we now know the covenant school shooter's manifesto will be made public. it's just a matter of when. the police and the fbi are combing through other evidence surrounding audrey hale to get a motive for monday's tragedy. that saw three 9-year-old students and three adults lose their lives. yesterday the nashville community came together for a

cold war. we're not going to have parody with the exichings russia and china together opposing the united states with a nuclear arsenal that's double the size of ours at a minimum. >> brian: we know yesterday russians made it clear they are not going to inform us of any nuclear test and we said we are not going to tell you either. now we essentially have no agreements. what do you think china will do when kevin mccarthy meets with the taiwanese president? rntion they will likely be some kind of intimidation and coercion back in the region. certainly they know this visit is different than if speaker mccarthy was going to taiwan. i believe this -- our government should stop self-deterring ourselves. there is absolutely no reason why we cannot visit taiwan, why we can't not provide assistance to them but we self-deter ourselves in terms of our rhetoric and in terms of the visits we make. none of our senior military

officials or senior policy officials go to taiwan the possibility of war with at a juan over the horizon. you would think we would be making those coordinations and some level of detail that needs to be donor do we exercise with them on any scale that makes sense given the possibility of a war that would be one of the most significant undertakings we have ever experience dollars since world war ii. >> we have legitimate partners in there south carolina gets it. japan has doubled defense budget and now we have australia clearly who understands the threat. vietnam has become a chief ally. we expanded the bases in the philippines. expanded the bases in guam. so i think our area we have the allies that understand the threat. why not take advantage of it. the other big story in america is ukraine. and the wirthing republican support from it. and the one thing republicans are all agree on is if we're going to give them members and

frankly. i understand the problem in iraq listen, we have got to make certain we can talk to the congress and give them assurances that we have accountability. if we have to put in a covert system. >> brian: of course. >> to do that. then let's get on with doing that accountability is something the american people have a right to demand of the united states military and the state department when it comes to providing money and military assistance to the ukrainians. and given the history of corruption that's in the country, it's a well-founded concern. so let's get out there and resolve the issue so we can provide that kind of feedback to the congress and the united states. that we have control of it and we have accountability. >> brian: the biggest thing that could destroy support in america is waste. and they did not help their cause yesterday. general jack keane, thanks so much.

and sometimes you need one spray into the nostril. and sometimes you need two. costs about $50 and will be available around june, mid june. i think this is great that it's going to be available to parents, to police officers, to paramedics. i want to see it in schools. just like we see defibrillators in school. this is not the final say or solution of having it available. it's a band-aid. even though it will save lives. we have over 100,000 deaths due to opioids every single year. still tackle the core root of the problem why do we have so much overdose. why do we have so much drug use. it all starts to me it starts with prevention. that's the number one, most important thing is educating our children and through that preventing these overdoses in the first place. so i think that's something that we need really focus on and really make sure we have good campaigning against. >> ainsley: you said you bought that box for $50. it will be affordable. buy it in grocery stores, gas stations and vending machines

later in the summer. what is your reaction about what the w.h.o. has said? they're saying that healthy children and teenagers probably don't need the covid vaccine. they say the traditional shots are more important. >> the world health organization is coming out with their new guidelines. they do say if you are still high risk to get a booster every six months to a year. when it comes to age 6 months of age and up to 17 years of age, it's not recommended for most young teenagers. and that makes sense. kids, they are the lowest risk group whether it comes to severe complications with covid. and, on top of that, we have reached a level of population immunity. many children, more than 88% have already had covid. so to have that protection from natural immunity. many of them also have had vaccines. so when you combine protection from vaccination, protection from infection and reinfection, europe at low risk. and it makes sense that you don't need to have that additional shot unless you have any underlying medical

circumstances but, is it a significant public health benefit to vaccinate toddlers? at this point the answer is no. >> ainsley: a lot of parents don't want their children vaccinated what do you think this means for the fall, when schools go back into classes, our children go back into the classes, do you think that the schools will take this information and use that and say you don't need to be vaccinated? >> i hope so. i hope the cdc follows the recommendations. >> ainsley: do they normally? >> sometimes. like, for example, the world health organization says do not mask children, yet our cdc said mask our children. so i do hope they follow suit and understand that the children are the lowest risk group and we should not place on them all of these restrictions and guidelines. let them be free. let them live. let them develop that natural immiewngted with all the other viruses that are out there. >> ainsley: thank you for coming on this morning. coming up, the biggest names in tech calling to cause the advancement of artificial intelligence. two experts in the field share why next.

papers, music. and computers will do it and do it with professional human level skills. and these two big changes being able to talk to our computers and have our computers create human level content is a really significant change. and, frankly, we're not quite ready for it. because it's come at us so quickly. >> steve: sure. and, mark, because louis talked about changes. it's going to knock us out of work. >> artist, for example, doing graphic images, if you are a musician, people who write copy, do marketing, lawyers, a lot of text-based jobs that we have now in the united states i think, are going to be threatened by some of these new tools. and there's really a very interesting question in this moment which is whether this rapid adoption that's taking

place is something that we're going to be able to manage as we managed other transitions. i think the call for the pause right now is exactly correct. >> your organization is actually filing a complaint with the federal government sprain that. >> we worked with the computer scientists in support of the petition. then we thought what's practical next step that we can take? and we believe the practical next step is to go to the federal trade commission, which does have authority to regulate commercial products and to say to the federal trade commission this is a commercial product. it's called gpt. open ai making it available for sale. we. the ftc to basically suspend the future release until the guardrails that lewis was describing a moment ago are established. when you have the in place then

you would and offer the product. lewis lewis for a lot of people over the last couple of weeks they have seen product of ai. they have seen images of donald trump being arrested and stuff like that and clearly they were computer generated. couple days ago the pope looking hip and young and turns out it's ai as well. you say that obviously going forward, because you can't tell what's real and what's fake, there's got to be like a water mark on things so you know, oh, okay, that's made up. >> exactly. so, we're getting to the point where the ai generated content is intis continuing gerbil from human content and also feels very authoritative in many ways. and so we need a way for the public to know what's real and what's synthetic. and one approach is to have a

water marks and require every ai system puts a water mark on synthetic content so that we can identify it identify it's not real and where it came from. points time to have water mark systems in place and also time to have regulatory bodies in place to require water marks be use. >> steve: technology is so fast. thank you for joining us and telling us why you signed the take a pause with ai. thanks, guys. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> steve: meanwhile baseball back today. abby is having breakfast with friends in houston. look who is joining us actor, comedian rob schneider, hey, you can do it. >> i didn't get to the item. >> abby: rob and i have been playing already. legendary. first, he has to earn his way onto the show, right, rob, by
