waiting room yesterday is now in custody this morning. >> steve: police are accusing him of killing at least one person and hurting four others in a medical center's waiting room. >> brian: that's not news to jonathan serrie. he has been covering this story, following all the developments. he is from atlanta now. jonathan? >> yeah. good morning, brian, steve, and ainsley. police have arrested 24-year-old deion patterson and charged him with murder and four counts of aggravated assault. it all unfolded in a medical office building where i am in midtown, atlanta, they say the gunman opened fire, seriously injuring four women and killing 38-year-old amy pierre who worked for the centers of disease control in atlanta. the cdc is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of a colleague killed today in a midtown atlanta shooting. police received the call of an active shooter at 12:08

yesterday afternoon. they say the gunman spent only two minutes shooting inside the medical building before trying to escape by stealing a pickup truck that was left running at a nearby gas station. police used a combination of security cameras, license plate readers and 911 calls from residents in real time to track the suspect's vehicle to a location near truist park in suburban cobb county and they arrested him about a half mile away from the vehicle around 7:45 last night. take a listen. >> if you rewind the hand of time four years, we probably would not be where we are today right now. technology played a huge role but technology doesn't do any good without people who are determined to capture an individual that would do something like this. and today we saw where those two things came together in an amazing way. >> the suspect was discharged from the coast guard in january

after serving four and a half years. patterson's mother, who had accompanied her son to the medical building for an appointment, appeared to blame improper medicine for the outburst, telling the daily beast the damn v.a. gave him some messed up medication and all he wanted was an ativan. minion patterson tells the associated press that her son wanted ativan to treat anxiety and depression but v.a. shocked and saddened by what happened here yesterday but it cannot release information on mr. patterson because of patient confidentiality regulations. back to you guys. >> ainsley: jonathan, where did he hide in the condominium complex? i was reading that were some neighbors that heard barking dogs so that alerted them to where he might be?

>> yeah. and so, again, it was that combination of technology and tips from resi residents that ld them to the suspect. you had those license plate readers tracking the vehicle in real time. but then ultimately it was knows 911 calls coming in. there were a lot of false sightings. a lot of people in cobb county were worried. they were reporting anything suspicious. because police had an idea of the general area where that vehicle had been abandoned, it led them to that condominium complex. they knew that calls coming in from that area were most likely the legitimate ones. >> steve: sure. we don't know of the motive yet. yesterday, some people speculated that perhaps the people he shot in the waiting room he targeted them. but it sounds like he and his mom just went. in he wanted some pills. he got angry there and just started shooting people who were handy.

>> and that's what it sounds like. police have yet to release a motive. they say that that is still under investigation. but, based on the statements that his mother gave to several media outlets, including the associated press, it sounds like he was going there for a routine medical appointment. >> brian: with a gun? >> and then something set him off. >> brian: yeah, but is he traveling with a gun. that gives a sense of premeditation, i would imagine. not everybody walks into a -- walks into a hospital with a gun. >> ainsley: no. and he is young, too. 24 years old. >> brian: all right, jonathan, thanks. appreciate it. manhattan d.a. alvin bragg, one of the worse in the country is investigating the death of a homeless man who was placed in a chokehold by a marine on a subway train earlier this week. >> ainsley: his death was ruled a homicide yesterday prompting protest from those who want the veteran to face murder charges. >> steve: todd piro joins us live with details there is a big difference between homicide and murder. >> homicide is really just the

generic phrase for a killing. murder is a very specific charge that has specific elements that need to be met. so we await what is going to happen come out of the new york d.a.'s office. meantime yesterday, the new york city chief medical examiner ruling that the homeless man named jordan neeley died from compression of his neck. this incident taking place on the f train monday afternoon. neeley was acting erratically throwing garbage at passengers and making threats. that's when a marine veteran put him in a head lock and other passengers stepped in to restrain him. he eventually passed out and the e.m.s. workers were unable to revive him. the witness telling the "new york post," quote: none of us who were there thought he was in danger of dying. we just thought he passed out or ran out of air. a protesters marching through new york city demanding justice for neeley. they are outraged after the marine was taken into custody but later released without charges. new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeting jordan neeley was murdered. again, that is her opinion, not

an official charge. but because jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rent and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected with passive headlines eric adams said wait for the investigation. >> we cannot blatantly say what a passenger should or should not do in a situation like that. we should allow the investigation to take its course. >> neeley's aunt telling the "new york post" likely stemmed by the murder of his mother by his step-father in 2007. steve asked a very important question in light of a.o.c.'s comment this is a murder according to aoc this is not a murder until it is charged as a murder. she needs to be careful. >> steve: medical examiner says it's a homicide. district attorney which released the 24-year-old marine is

deciding whether or not to charge him. then it would change from a you know from a homicide to a murder. >> correct. >> brian: other passengers felt threatened they helped out, too. this man, who died, has numerous other arrests for assault, disorderly conduct, beating according to law enforcement. before she quickly says this guy was just houseless, understand can you be houseless and you don't have to harass other penal on the subway at 2:30 in the afternoon. this is constantly happening in new york. we have been telling you about it. i ride the subways almost exactly the same time when i'm not working late at night on the f-train too by the way. i can't tell you how many time you see this guy -- these guys walking up and down screaming and think to yourself this can be out of control of any moment. this 24-year-old was able to sit there suppress with a chokehold and not beat him senseless and perhaps he was on something prior to that, that is why mayor adaniels responsibly said let's wait. the other thing is, too. do you want to wait for him to pound people like they did adam klotz and just have everyone

just sit on the sideline and you are critical of those passengers? you have a 24-year-old who we trained in the military, lives in long island, hopping on a subway and said let me help out the american people again when i'm not in afghanistan, let me just grab this guy and hold him down. no cops around because they are under staffed and they are not on the trains. they are upstairs. and this guy takes action. and now you have people protesting for the homeless guy? were you protesting when he was throwing garbage at people and threatening people in their face? i have no patience for these people. >> ainsley: i agree. think about the lady who was peteen almost to death down underneath. >> brian: of course. and we are wondering where the help is. >> steve: sure. and, brian, that point is a really good one. because the guy, the marine, the 24-year-old marine held the guy down tore 15 minutes.

this homeless person was harassing passengers. i don't have any food or drinks. i don't care if i go to jail. and so that sounds a little scary. >> ainsley: all the harassment is the exact reason i don't ride the subway anymore. i wouldn't be able to defend myself. do you feel safe on the subway? >> brian: i have got to take the subway you have a certain amount of trains i have got to get and wait 50 minutes. >> ainsley: if you don't take the subway in the middle of traffic how long would it take you to get back to your house on long island? >> brian: hop in a cab 25 minutes. >> ainsley: to go where? >> brian: if i hop in a cab to penn station it could take a half hour from here. this whole city has become a big bike lane. you hop underneath and hop on a train, and it's pretty empty for the most part. but if you have one belligerent person hop on that train, it's pretty much like getting in an octagon. game on. and ask adam about that. >> ainsley: and a lot of people have to do the subway because it's too specific to take a car service if you live out on long island.

>> brian: of course. >> ainsley: takes two or three hours in traffic. a 45-mile trip. >> brian: absolutely. >> steve: let's see whether or not the d.a. feels the pressure of the people of new york who did have a vigil and protest yesterday to charge the marine. we will keep you posted. >> brian: instead of thanking him. >> ainsley: in other news, kamala harris has invited some executives and ceos with major tech companies to meet with her so that they can participate in this public valuation of safety of the a.i. systems to make sure that the products are safe before making them available to the public. >> steve: right. exactly. and it's because of this, they want to make sure that it's safe before they unleash it on all of us. they are going to meet today in the roosevelt room at the white house because the united states right now has almost no specific regulations on the books regarding artificial intelligence. the european union way ahead of us. the united states we don't have anything. it's pretty interesting. they are putting her at the forefront of this effort. look for her to the a.i. czar

going forward. she did such a bang up job with space and border and everything else, so now she is going to be your computer czar when it comes to deep fakes and stuff like that. >> brian: every smart person from the head of elon musk on down said this is going to take some regulation. we need some guardrails. so you are going to need the competency test and should not be worried about taking the most fundamental questions and take all that in and come up with regulation. so far judging by the performance over the last two and a half years, this is the exact wrong person to put in charge of that. but, they are desperate to show that she has just been wronged by the press, a victim of bad publicity and as we found out last week they are going to do everything to make her look like she is a woman that could run the country. >> steve: or a.i. could. here is what the white house said. today we are announces that major a.i.

one of the largest hacker conventions in the world. these models will be aevaluated by thousands of community partners and a.i. experts to see how they align with the blueprint a.i. bill of rights and the risk management framework. it's axios this morning it sounds like joe biden himself has been experimenting with chatgpt. and, you know what? he is fascinated by it. >> brian: he should be. it is fascinating. yesterday bill hemmer was on with me and we talked about a.i. and then eric behind the board said write a poem about what brian and bill just talked about about their questions about a.i. and then they had a woman's voice read the poem. and in nine seconds they wrote a poem dedicated to the previous segment. it was unbelievable. >> steve: do you know what that proves? it proves that millions of americans' jobs will be replaced by that software.

>> brian: i fired my poet this morning. i said i no longer need you. i gave him two weeks. >> ainsley: we have been having fun with it. we will play around because you have the app. >> brian: you don't have it. >> ainsley: i haven't put it on my phone. i'm weary right now. >> steve: i don't want a.i. in my phone. >> ainsley: they are meeting with google and microsoft and open a.i. and anthrop pick and this astro physicist. he has written books and done some podcasts is he a science communicator. he studies at harvard. >> steve: got a show on fox. brian. >> ainsley: and at columbia. nine hand area doctorates and nsa's distinguished model. this is what he says about a.i. shutting down the internet. >> part of me wonders maybe maybe a.i. will create such good fakes that no one will trust the internet anymore for anything and we simply have to shut it

down. maybe the final nail in the coffin of an internet. 30 years it was a good run from the early 1990s to the early 2020s, now it's time for the next thing. that could be the greatest gift of a. to the internet. the. >> steve: he is right. >> brian: open a.i. agrees to be the watchdog of chatgpt. gina raimondo, sikes, jack sullivan. people should be open about the deliberations. open about the guardrails. keep talking to these very smart people because as the -- one of the founders of a.i., who just resigned from google, after his company was bought, google bought it, they developed. >> steve: jeffrey hinton. >> brian: jeffrey hinton says this is accelerating so much faster than he thought. he thought we had 50 years before these things were smarter than us and possibly dominate us. we basically have 50 meals.

>> ainsley: neil degraff says we are moving on. think about g.p.s. can you get to grandma's house how to get to grandma's house without any traffic and no interaction from human beings. he said that is a form of a.i. we just have to go with it. he says he welcomes it and always because it can make our lives better. >> steve: absolutely. i'm sure in medicine it's going to save lives. >> ainsley: if they could find out a cure of cancer. >> steve: already figured out a cure to have one kind of cancer they are going to do trials on. it can create these, to brian's point about the poem, it can create these deep fakes that have so realistic. that's one of the reasons why the writers guild of america is on strike because what wants to stop, you know, one of these late night hosts from across the street just give me 15 jokes about donald trump. >> brian: no one will. >> steve: come out and they are good. that's why the writers guild wants provisions about okay, you will not use a.i. of course the writers could use

it at home. but they can't use it to actually write the show. >> ainsley: neil degraff tyson said something when i was doing research about his life. he said something that is pretty interesting. don't ever say that you will never be good. whether or not you can never become great at something you can always become better. so if you are teaching your children to play a sport, or to, you know, become better at math, you can always become better. you have might not be the best but you can improve. >> steve: is he a fascinating guy. whole interview on fox news run down. >> brian: i feel like you are saying that for ted. >> ainsley: i was playing off your poetry. my contribution. >> brian: so interesting. i think they are going to roll back this segment in 10 years and say remember when "fox & friends" talked about a.i. just like when bryant gum bell and katie couric said this thing called the internet is crazy. what is it going to mean? you can look up anything? >> ainsley: give the internet address www..

they don't want officers doing things that officers shunting doing. right now they are baby-sitting. they are taking money out of their own pockets to help please migrants. >> steve: you know, it's going to keep people, probably, from going into the police station to report crime or whatever reason you may have to go down to the local cop shop because if you have got 50 people in the lobby and some of them are sick, i'm not going to go in that room. >> absolutely. and there's actually private organizations that are willing to take these immigrants on, these migrants on. the city steps in and says no, no, no, no. we don't want you do that because we will lose track of them. we don't know where they are going and whatnot. right now they can wander out of the station and go anywhere they want to go. they need to get them out of the police stations. come up with a plan. use vacant schools. they set up how many hospital beds mccormick they can set up makeshift situations for them. >> steve: john, you are sitting there in chicago. it turns out it is pretty easy to get away with murder in

chicago because two thirds of all murders are never solved. and i understand right now the u.s. rate of solved murders hovers at just below 50%. the lowest rate of any developed nation. can you -- you know, once upon a time, people used to be afraid of a murder charge. now it sounds like ah, who cares? i'll walk. >> there's no doubt. there is a combination of things. we have got a prosecutor who doesn't like to prosecute. we have got very, very low manpower. the detectives we are probably down 400 to 500 detectives from where we once were. then you have got the community that's afraid because of our revolving door criminal justice system they're afraid to come forward and say anything and help out. detectives absolutely need that assistance from the community to get these cases. they do the best they can with the resources they have. but when you have got a community that's afraid that the offender is just going to be out the next day and retaliate. why are they going to come

right now on the internet and it says georgia, which is where this happened. now generally permits any lawful weapons carrier to carry handguns openly or concealed in most public spaces without any background check or permit required. so, you know, we don't know the circumstances but i know this guy did -- had been arrested a number of times in the past. but, we don't know exactly what his record was and whether or not that would preclude him from having a handgun. but he had one, went into the lobby of this hospital with his mother, there apparently were words exchanged. he got hacked off and he started shooting people. >> yeah. i mean, certainly, this doesn't fit what we unfortunately have seen more recently with respect to the typical act of shooter scenario where someone has been laying in waiting and isolation and planning and plotting. this seems more of the spontaneous combustion. that's what i would call it. someone who unfortunately was suffering from some mental health issue.

coupled with he has possession of a firearm and that at any moment the simplest thing could set this person off and that's exactly what happened yesterday. fortunately, it was neutralized as quickly as it was. >> ainsley: yeah. he was discharged from the military just this past january. he was dui charges that were dropped in 2007 arrested twice for violating probation in 2007 and arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in 2015. stuart, thank you so much for coming on. >> always my pleasure. >> thank you, sir, stuart kaplan. meanwhile a fox news alert. russia threatening retaliate for what it said was assassination attempt on vladimir putin. daniel hoffman used to work inee russia he will share his insight. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have

>> brian: if you attack at the heart of the country, strike up that nationalism and might get people to sign up for this war? >> right, i mean, it might appear as a pretty extreme act of desperation on the kremlin's part. what vladimir putin wants is to robert up security to pro-advise a pretext to limit the number of folks who might be out on the street celebrating the victory day parade. he doesn't want mothers of russian soldiers dead soldiers protesting in the streets. he wants a pretext if russia does lose a lot of territory as secretary blinken said that might actually happen yesterday, during ukraine's counteroffensive. putin wants to blame the united states and ukraine. remember, that just this morning russian press spokesman dmitry said that that drone was launched by ukraine on orders of the united states. russia is setting this up as a war against not just ukraine but nato and the united states in particular. >> brian: here is what blinken ourselves said yesterday.

>> i have seen the reports. i can't in any way validate them. we simply don't know. second, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. >> brian: so how much trouble -- that's where we stand. but, dan, how much trouble are they in economically? we know about the "wall street journal's" story that got that reporter arrested, probably. how much harder it is on them. buff, are they being prond up to the extent that they can withstand a longer war? >> i think the estimates right now is that russia can carry on the war economically. at least for another year. and, look, one of the things we have been saying on this network is that sanctions would never deter russia from launching the attack in the first place. nor would it have an appreciable impact on russia's capability to fight the war. they have relied, to some extent, on iran for drones and on north korea for artillery, but they are carrying on the fight. what has limited russia's

ability to fight is poor morale, poor logistics, poor training and horrifically bad execution on the ba battlefield and bad leadership that's what has hurt them less than the sanction we have imposed. >> brian: the number we hear 80,000 dead. 200,000 casualties wounded that's stunning to me. dan, i have got to ask you this. it looks like this whole brick meeting, their answer to the g 7 is getting bigger and south africa china, russia, venezuela, iran, and if vladimir putin travels to south africa, they say they have no choice but to arrest him. really? i would be surprised if they did, the deputy national security adviser dmitry medvedev who served as russia's prime minister and president said that would be the equivalent of a declaration of war. i don't know that i see that happening. i don't see vladimir putin traveling anywhere where there is a risk of arrest. i will would highlight the fact

that what we are seeing from today's nonaligned movement countries that draw distinction between working with china on and russia economically and then maybe supporting the united states on other geopolitical issues and they're buy if you are indicating their foreign policy. >> brian: maybe we shouldn't accept that maybe we should say you have got make a choice. >> right. >> brian: that would make a difference if we got all in and had one policy. dan hoffman, thank you so much. appreciate it? >> all right. >> brian: meanwhile, go over to steve. steve? >> steve: we have got some news top stories. moments ago the manhattan district attorney's office released a statement on the death of that homeless man jordan neely who died after a marine placed him in a chokehold on the subway. neely was behavinger rafd particularly holding him down on the train this week for about 15 minutes. they say, quote, the d.a. this is a solemn and serious matter that ended in the tragic loss of

jordan neely's life. as part of our rigorous ongoing investigation, we will review the medical examiner's report, assess all available video and photo footage, identify and interview as many witnesses as possible and obtain additional medical records. the marine was taken into custody 24 years of age but released shortly thereafter without charges. protesters yesterday marched through new york city demandings justice for the homeless man. we'll keep you posted on that. meanwhile, three mcdonald's franchises across four states face fines up to $200,000 for allegedly employing kids as young as 10, a labor department probe revealing more than 300 children worked longer hours than legally allowed and performed tasks prohibited for young workers like manning the fryer. a 10-year-old, can you imagine? officials say some of those young fast food workers were not even paid.

facebook saying i'm going to raise my prices 6.5%? >> so, the price increase is so unusual for us. it's never happened in the history of the tavern to have an across the board increase. it became absolutely necessary because the math was no longer working. >> the math that had worked historically forever was no longer working. and it was directly related to inflation and nonmanager controllable costs. so, every vendor i do business with across the board was sending me letters with at least a 10% increase. so, this was outside the pressures we were already feeling with food costs and liquor costs. and the history of the tavern is that we keep prices low. we stay very competitive in the neighborhood and try to stay below everybody. we work on volume.

we can sit 340 people in here. and volume and value have been what has gotten us by for so long. and to do this big price increase, i felt like i needed to notify our loyal customers because it was very unusual. it's never happened in our 67-year history. >> ainsley: i know you really didn't have a choice. close down or increase your prices back in 2020 you said you were losing 20, $25,000 a month so you and your wife had to dip into your retirement? >> we did. that was a little different scenario. that was directly related to covid. this seems to be the aftermath of covid the inflationary pressures that we are feeling. the big thing for us was that we were eating the costs as long as we could possibly do it. thinking, hoping, praying that prices were going to stabilize. and they were. commodity prices on food and proteins were coming down and everything was looking good.

until we got all these nonmanager controllable increases. across the board, everything. i mean, and it was -- it was dramatic how much everything went up. >> ainsley: i know you said that labor costs are really the biggest increase that you have seen and when you put this message on facebook to your valued customers, i know you got a great response from them. if you live in the atlanta area, please continue to go eat at his restaurant because he wants to stay open for you. thank you so is much for coming on. i wish you the best. >> thank you so much. thanks for having me. have a good morning. >> ainsley: you too. coming up, was president biden involved in a criminal scheme while he was the vice president? the whistleblower claim and the fbi secret file that top republicans want to see. ♪ ♪
