morning as the leader of a chat room within the gaming platform, thug shaker central and focused on the ukraine war where he supported the user name jack the dripper according to "the daily mail." top secret intelligence tactics and surveillance and the war in ukraine was allegedly spread for months, making its way into other platforms including russian language telegram channel. congressman mike turner thinks otherwise. the chair of the house intelligence committee. he stated while we seek to learn the extent of classified information released the house intelligence committee will examine why this happened. why it went unnoticed for weeks and how to prevent future weeks. now, congressman turner added that the breach jeopardy national security and relationship with allies. source tells fox news that investigators are now looking at others who may have been involved, guys?

>> steve: alexandria, thank you very much. here is the cover of the "new york post" today geeky leaks. he looks so unbelievably young just 21 years old got started when he was younger but here's the thing. turns out his step-father worked 34 years in the same wing of the national guard. that young man right there who is in big trouble was stationed at it national guard in cape cod. he was arrested 90 minutes after the "new york times" released his name. so, apparently the fbi had been looking at him for a couple days it's like okay, the word is out. and they went out and picked him up in a heavily armed unit because there were reports that he had a number of guns and whether they searched the house they found a number of guns. >> there he is sitting on the end of the truck. they are questioning him it looks like, maybe reading him his rights. they were forced to accelerate the plans after the newspapers, "new york times," "the

washington post" were talking about this and released his name. you know, he is a threat to our national security by releasing all of these intelligence documents. our secret information. not only to the united states but also to our allies. and giving our adversaries access to all of our intelligence. i mean, he was reporting that information that was released about our special forces at the embassy in ukraine and giving out locations which could make our individuals targets. u.s. service members targets. >> brian: 21-year-old national guardsman who has such a low rank, how could he have access to such important things? he is upkeep and hardware of military communications they're he would have access if you have to maintenance it as the lowest ranked member of air force enlisted group. he signed up out of high school. missed graduation to go to basic training. he has been serving. he hops in this group unlike edward snowden as we know it

right now and chelsea manning when he was a man, went in there they wanted to be leakers. they want to the get this stuff out he wanted to be the big man be in a 20-person chat room and it got bigger. and began to expand. and he knew he was in trouble. he had a meeting with these guys and said basically i love you all. things are out of control. the people that were in the group essentially sunrise said they never seen him like this. he did not know what to do. therefore, this day was coming. they knocked on his door, howe out comes his step-father. his step-father says i think my son is going to need a lawyer. next thing you know when the swat team comes up the fbi arrives and go and grab him out of his mom's house. there you go. does it matter his intent ultimately with this case? i don't know. chelsea manning got pardoned by the president. how bad could that be? and edward snowden having great life in russia. >> steve: started in disorder room of which that apparently that group liked online war games and the leaker wanted to

teach them about actual war and that's why he started showing them these top secret documents according to people in the room. the motive, his goal was to inform and to impress. he was simply showing off. let's brink in chris schweikart, former fbi director. he joins us now. good morning to you. >> ainsley: good morning. >> steve: chris, we understand that original disorder chat room there were between 20 and 30 young men and boys in it they also had access to these top secrets. could they be charged do they have liability? are they co-conspirators? accomplices? what are they. one of them put it on another website. >> yeah. i think there is some exposure there for the others who either passed the information or possessed the information. i think there is element that has to be addressed. but i'm sure that's part of the fbi investigation expanded out

from the original airman. this is stunning access for 21-year-old enlisted man as brian pointed out. human intelligence, electronic intelligence. it's been sucked to me he was on some sort of special project that would actually grant him that level of information at least temporarily i don't know that for a fact. that is very high access. many of them join as the 18 years old. brilliant and able to handle this you seau the training and understand the rules and requirements. expected to abide by rules and responsibilities. what do you think the punishment will be. >> there is jail time. i didn't look up the statute. there is jail time. it doesn't help when you previous leaker. that doesn't provide much deterrent. this seems to have come out of immaturity and some -- just some

ideology that came into play here. the damage and the part about our special forces at the embassy working in ukraine that's incredibly damaging to our -- >> brian: how about the things about russia and the fact that their commando unit has been devastated. how about the fact we get great intelligence from russia. >> i think i lost you. >> brian: i can still hear you, chris. we found that out in real time and able to make a public announcement that was our strategy for too long it. now we'll find out that it actually looks like they did it and how they actually implemented it. it looks like the secretary of defense, he said, while complimenting the investigation says i am directing the undersecretary of defense for intel and security to conduct a review of our intelligence access accountability and procedures. if they are doing this right, how long will it take and what do you want to see change?

>> these damage assessments can take a while. there was really broadest accept nation here. it looks like they did a good job of honing in on the right people, but forensically passing it device to device this young man was displays bizarre behavior before he went into the service. i feel like background checks done for this level of it access is fairly rote intelligence community is huge a big apparatus we have got to devote the resources to make sure the people have the intelligence have the maturity there is whether a people are concerned about. there is going to be an overcompensation and now the

average every day american is going to feel as though people are breathing down their necks because this chat room was able to operate and share highly classified intelligence information and people are worried that their innocuous chat room in iowa and idaho are suddenly going to be under scrutiny. is that a legitimate f can do tt thing involved. by law we can't just surf around looking for information of this nature it these come to the agency's attention through a report. it's called predication. then they can do at least a threat assessment. it's a very difficult area. >> steve: the thing about if you see something say something. there is so much fake stuff on

the internet i don't know if you noticed that chris, thank you very much for getting up early. there are so many facets to this story. we were interested in what you had to say. >> ainsley: thank you, chris. >> thank you. >> ainsley: he will be in court today between 10 and 2:00. later this morning we will be. a suspect is arrested in the murder of a silicon valley executive. the san francisco d.a. is busy criticizing music. >> mr. lee was murdered by somebody that he knew. i must point out reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in mr. musk's tweet serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of san francisco. >> ainsley: the crime crisis democrats are ignoring. >> steve: plus, the king of beer is bowing out of a top promotional event following bud light's controversial trans participation. the new beer conservatives are brewing up in response. look at that.

>> ainsley: bay area tech exec face to face a judge this morning in the death of cash app founder bob lee. nehemiah mow mini was arrested at spare seen together in the car before argument on the street.

capturing the final moment as he falls to the ground and begs for help. this is not the suspect's first run in with police arrested in 2011 for allegedly driving on a suspended license. driving under the influence and trying to sell a switchblade knife illegally. >> mow mini bragged about graduating at berkeley. the news outlet has no guy ever attended. the suspect is being held without bail at the san francisco county jail. so, as it turns out and last week where when we were giving you have update on what happened to bob lee where he was essentially found stabbed to death 2:30 in the morning in san francisco it appeared because, you know, they had no they had not named any suspects it appeared like a random act of violence. there are lots of those out in san francisco. the homeless and o'drobinak problem through the roof. shortly after he was murdered.

elon musk had a tweet that responded to the passing of bob lee, his friend. he said very sorry to hear that. many penal i know have been severely assaulted. violent crime in san francisco is who are risk. and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately. is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders he asked brook jenkins, san francisco's d.a. >> ainsley: well, crime has been a problem. >> brian: no doubt. >> ainsley: we know that. violent crime as a whole risen driven by 18% increase in robberies and 33% of homicides. misdemeanors climbed by 13%. many people are complaining about what is happening in san francisco. originally the mayor had said we need to defund the police and then she walked that back and asked for federal help after she realized that wasn't going to work. that crime has gone up. and so, after elon tweeted that,

the san francisco district attorney started slamming elon musk for his tweet. >> steve: right. because it wasn't random. this guy knew him. >> ainsley: that's right. listen to what she said. >> mr. lee was murdered by somebody that he knew. while we are not going to release any additional facts at this time, i must point out that reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in mr. musk's tweet that assumed incorrect circumstances about mr. lee's death serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of san francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime as it spreads misinformation at a time that the police are trying to solve a very difficult case. we all should and must do better about not contributing to the spread of such misinformation without having actual facts to underlie the statements that we make victims deserve that and

the residents of san francisco deserve that. >> brian: she faked me out a few times i thought she was wrapped up. trying to change the perception of the city. she took over for chesa boudin who represented run that city in the crime and not prosecuting crime. she is reportedly doing a better job but still out of control. amazing focus on elon musk all the problems she had to focus on the richest man in the world and think he is the problem when he is not problem. he looked at what is happening in san francisco and moved his company out of the city. of the city and of the state. and here's why. he has joined so mani' other people the quality of life. the taxes, homelessness. the crime and pes pestilence. you may not like that tweet elon musk is not the problem. the fact that you get stabbed by somebody you know doesn't mean you die differently. there is not a separate column. killed by a friend. >> steve: could we put up that tweet that elon musk said once

again? because, thinking what she just said. she said it's disinformation. responding to the fact his friend is dead. very sorry to hear that many people i know have been severely assaulted that's true. violent crime in san francisco is honk. horrific.they are caught and ofn released immediately. is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders. i don't see anything in that account that's wrong. >> brian: i initially suspended his account. i will will put him back online i was wrong. i jumped to conclusions. >> ainsley: he owns the company. >> brian: $44 billion. >> steve: a terrible story. that guy bob lee who did the cash app and involved in developing android which you may have a phone or an operating system that he helped invent. the guy was a genius and it's just a crime.

>> ainsley: i think the problem many residents feel in these big cities that they are run by democrats that want to let people out when they need to be behind bars. because they are repeat offenders. do you remember the "new york post" story a few months ago where it was all the top 10 repeat offenders. they keep getting out from being behind bars and they need to be locked up. >> brian: so discouraging to see somebody like chicago. more to the left than the person who just got unelected and doesn't seem like people are wising up if you hear david brooks say in the "new york times" everyone is running to red states and why are they doing it? they want safety, qualities of life and low taxes. that's not happening in san francisco. >> steve: we all want to be safe. >> brian: 23 minutes now after the hour. ashley strohmier you have been safe during the entire talking point. >> ashley: i have been. >> ainsley: standing there. >> brian: my apologies. ash ashes it's okay, brian. we will start with the latest on the border crisis.

know, swear an oath and get a classification, they know precisely what they are able to do and not able to do. >> ainsley: tell us about that. what is the training and they tell you all the requirements. you have responsibility. >> peter: it's extensive training. you are, you know, threaten is the wrong word, but you know exactly what will happen to you. >> steve: can you go to driven. >> peter: there is also a dual track on this. submarine leaker brought photographs submarine. >> steve: that wasn't a leak. >> peter: this wasn't a leak either. i want to be cool and show off to my buddies. i'm not trying to make a statement about the war in ukraine. look at how other documents are handled by other people in famous cases and off times, look at hunter biden, look at what he probably used to deals with foreign entities he is not being prosecuted. there is dual tracks on this. but it's very serious the government really doesn't know

who has access to. what it's the threat of prosecution that keeps people from doing things like this. >> brian: going on for so many months. he now says he is going to do a total revamp of this system. >> pete: good luck. the amount of contractors. the pentagon just had a audit. they don't know where the people is do you think they know who the people are looking at the programs? other thick our government is not telling us the truth in the other cases like the status of the war in ukraine and status of allies and the way china is linking up with other countries and drawing in influence. this is information the media would have salivated over and in this particular case, you know, why will look into the motives more. >> brian: are you going to do that over the weekend? >> peter: we can't -- we do an off the wall. i saw you do an on the wall. i think that's you broke down the leakers. >> brian: i'm on you are off. brian. >> peter: we are going to do a junior varsity city version what you have did on the wall and break it down. other leakers that have happened
