came to be and i started a free clinic at my church and one patient who came in was too sick for out-patient care. she was unvaccinated. i sent her to the hospital and she was sent home and ended up not seeking healthcare from anyone until she was -- she couldn't be saved and went on to die. after that, our church clinic, we bought oxygen concentrator and kept multiple people out of the hospital treating them through the clinic and at home. people who were unvaccinated wouldn't receive reasonable care at the hospital. >> todd: why do you think the hospital and administrators did

this? >> i can't mind read. there was a universal madness that went on and i watched it fall to pieces. i outlined the substack that was published and it was just hard to explain. being a rationale person and someone that wants to deliver healthcare, i was at a loss and thats so hard to speak of, when everyone around you was participating in something you know was wrong and they were your friends and colleagues you trusted for years, it is difficult to watch. i can't say motive, but seems this group loss of reason and cruelty to it and that part struck me, just the cruelty and how we as medical company abandon our oath to care for

reinforcing the laws. >> ashley: they are making it way too easy for criminals to get out of jail after they are arrested, if they are caught. can you talk to us about what you are struggling with, you said it has been stressful on you, i can only imagine. >> the stress, everyday all day, the stress of being air business owner and i was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and that took a toll on me, along with high blood pressure. >> ashley: i'm sure the fear of being attacked does not help anything at all. maybe the online business might be good for you, it is unf unfortunate, we love our small business owners and sad to see this is happening because of crime. thank you for telling your

destruction. >> todd: musk says ai programs are trained to withhold certain information from users. >> what is happening, they are training the ai to lie. >> yes, that is right and to withhold information. >> yes, comment on some things, not comment on others and not say what the data demand it say. >> how did it get this way? you funded it at the beginning, what happened? >> that is ironic. >> todd: fox news contributor joe concha joins us, this is a must-watch interview, what is your reaction so far? >> joe: scary, we do '80'ses and '90s references all the time.

"terminator 1," and "terminator 2," not like we haven't seen this before. the sector is valued at 72 billion this year, projected to be 275 billion and from there up to trillions. this easily can get beyond human control and irony is we as human are incentivizing it and can profit off ai, growing industry with zero regulation and elon musk i believe is somebody we should listen to and will listen tonight on tucker probably 4 million will tune in to watch this, because this is important topic provided by a source in elon musk who has much success

and knows where the money is going, it is going to ai. >> ashley: last month musk joined tech leaders in signing open letter calling for pause in ai research. it says ai systems can pose profound risk to society and should be managed with care. this level of planning and management is not happening, society has hit pause on other technology. joe, argument is ai can do wonders for medicine, on the flip side if someone like elon musk says this is destroy humanity. does it balance out enough? does risk outweigh the benefits? i'm not sure they do. >> joe: precisely, we don't hear much from the biden

administration, hitting pause on this, technology moves quickly and can multiply so fast as human beings as u.s. government in this case, we can't keep up and it can get out of control. yet you don't hear many lawmakers and i'll throw republicans in here talking about okay, what do we do here, how do we pause this. follow the money as long as money is thrown into the industry, nothing will stop this from getting out of control. >> todd: they are not smart enough to understand it. >> ashley: biden administration asking the public what they think they should do. >> todd: elon musk exposing relationship between federal government scomb big tech companies. >> the degree to which various government agencies had full access to everything going on twitter blew my mind. i was not aware of that. >> would that include people's

dm's? >> yes. >> todd: joe, this sounds worse than we all thought. >> joe: and twitter files revealed that from matt taibbi and weis. it was such a powerful tool in getting donald trump elected in 2016 and from there all politicians jumped on board as far as this being communication tool they use and once government weaponize this, in this case, twitter, not a lot of people stop that from happening. yeah. it is just unbelievable so many journalists, try to dismiss what was revealed as nothing burger or something elon musk kind of hyped up, it wasn't hyped in terms of cia and fbi, having

access to tool and manipulating it or weaponizing it in this case, whole ball of wrong. scary, guys. >> todd: it was worse than even elon musk thought. 8 p.m. tucker carlson tonight, his ground-breaking interview with elon musk. we have a conversation with joe concha every morning. and google is trying to keep up with technology and search engine you have been using for years and decades, could be different. >> ashley: and mccarthy at the address to the new york stock exchange today. cheryl casone will talk about his address next.

here is where the debt ceiling is 31.38 billion, and getting into the danger zone. we can pay our bill, but this summer, month of june, we need to see something happening. president biden and kevin mccarthy said publicly already on fox business, president biden doesn't want to engage on the debt ceiling. the new york stock exchange great representation of that, see if they can put pressure on the administration, one of the biggest problems with inflation, above 5%, it is stimulus spending that came out of the government. >> todd: a lot of big wall street people who make decisions

are democratic donors. >> cheryl: pick up the phone. >> todd: if you think you are worried about ai, think about google. >> cheryl: they are worried, they are the king of search, microsoft has bing, here is what the "new york times" says. ai competitors like new bing are most serious threat to google search and google is racing to build new search engine powered by the technology. a spokeswoman from google says we are improving the quality of our results and introduce new ways to search. big business advertising is big business for google, how many times do you go to google and

first result, i would like to buy a pencil today, whatever your google search is, folks, first thing you will see is brought to you by google ads. google because of advertising, they need ai to be a part of that. we disagree on ai, it is a tool. elon musk is bringing up the worry some part of ai, the train has gone down the tracks, ai is here, it can be better for some. my own opinion. >> ashley: and everybody can have their own opinion, just does the risk outweigh the reward. >> cheryl: i don't think ai will be killing us yet, end of humanity. >> todd: conservative version of amazon gaining following by

those who feel woke corporation is turning their back on him. >> cheryl: mike seifert, from public square, listen to him. >> i felt like major corporate entities have turned against me, nike, target, starbucks decide to cater to messaging that only atracks 10% of america. we want to create a marketplace where consumers know that they are funding companies that will respect freedom. >> cheryl: woke companies that in the cross hairs, nike, disney and bud light advertisements has been the big headline there.

i think that companies a lot of them maybe don't want to go woke, there is pressure for them to do so and backlash is happening to big corporate brands. i say stay out of politics and give me a great soedz soda or ride to ride on. >> todd: i will go on that website and order cheryl soda and pencils. >> todd: new revelations from the pentagon leaked classified documents including russia and china plan to extend reach to latin america and change world government. congressman mark alford, we'll ask what that means for us. >> ashley: first will cain is here what is coming up on "fox

guest challenging the suggestion. >> electric cars are going to have to be charged on a grid that is still primarily fossil fuels. we are not saving the earth. the green energy policy is the greatest national security threat the nation faces it. make us more and more dependent on china. it's surpassing the south korea and the united states as the number one automobile exporter in the world. >> todd: critics also calling out the biden administration for promoting dependence on foreign countries instead of weaning the u.s. off of beijing. recent weeks of the pentagon's classified intel documents revealing china and russia extending their reach. >> comes brazil set to meet with xi jinping our interest in the relationship with china are not just commercial. we have political interests and we have interest in building a new geopolitical so that we can change world governance by

giving more representation to the united nations. >> mark sits on the house armed services committee and joins us now. congressman, how much closer to our shores does china and to lesser extent have to get before joe biden and his administration do something about it. >> this is very scary stays intent on encroaching on the western hemisphere. not just taiwan but coming into our neighborhood and messing with our neighbors. making investments in brazil and nicaragua. they are intent with belt and road initiative building roads and infrastructure and building ports so that if and when a conflict does arise with the united states of america, they can have their assets in our neck of the woods. we have got prohibit that from happening. >> ashley: so saying all of this, what does this mean for

the u.s. in the short-term and the long run? >> well, quite frankly arcly we have to be prepared. i have been saying for months the big bad wolf is at the door. china, huffing and puffing. we have to make sure our house is made of brick and not straw. we have to make sure we have a strong military, a strong deterrence serving on the armed services committee i was able to go this past week out to california to see the new b 21 stealth bomber part of our nuclear triad being built. a great deterrent against communist china. >> todd: what i don't understand is why it joe biden making it easier for china to replace us as the world's greatest power. does that make any sense? >> it doesn't. a lot of things with this president does not make sense. why would he abandon what we had in afghanistan and leave 13 service members there to die and then checks his watch when their bodies come home? why we shut down our pipelines and our drilling and make us go

from energy independence and energy dominant really to where he is going to have to go beg for oil and deplete our supply for strategic oil reserves? there is so many things about this president i don't get. i would hate to think he is intentionally trying to crash our country into the ground but it looks like is he there. he is at the helm of this great ship and he is running on the reef of despair. >> ashley: a lot of question marks about the things he does and does not do. let's term to hour home state of missouri. implementing new limits on gender affirming care for adults and minors. attorney general andrew bailey talked about it. >> emergency rule represume mull gaited necessary to protect the health and safety of children in missouri. they are not backed up by science and dangerous. i'm amazed the left wants to ignore that children are being harmed. we're not going to let that happen in the state of missouri.

>> ashley: congressman, your reaction? your thoughts? do you agree with him. >> i wholeheartedly agree with general bailey. doing great service with emergency order. these are guardrail. the left wants to say follow the science. find out what the science is before we start cutting off the breasts of young women who really aren't of age to consent to something like that. we need to make sure with 18 month of therapy that the decisions that are being made by the young adult, by the child and by the parent, especially, who needs to be involved in this process that that is the correct decision. i think when this all boils down to it and there is 18 months of therapy, people are going to wake up and think maybe that's not what i want to do with my body. maybe i am a man. maybe i am a woman. and once i get it sorted out in my head i don't need to cut off body parts. >> todd: people want to rush to

surgery and rush to chemicals. makes sense because putting a pause there to give you some time to get some help, to speak to some people to see if it ultimately is going to be your journey. >> congressman mark alford, thank you for coming on the program. >> todd and ashley, thank you so much. >> todd: i'm excited for 8:00 p.m. tucker carlson interview with elon musk.
