>> candidates start your engines, here we go. eight republican presidential candidates are in iowa this hour with joni ernst to ride. they will be riding on motorcycles, including mike pence seen on his royal blue harley. welcome to fox news live. i'm griff jenkins.

>> i'm aishah hasnie. and they'll feast on a big banquet of barbecue. the main hall where the candidates will be speaking later today, but the g.o.p. presidential front runner donald trump not expected. rich edson joining us on the ground in des moines with a special guest. hi, rich. >> hey, good afternoon, aishah. the barbecue is coming a little later today. we've got some speeches coming up and that includes senator tim scott who recently declared he would be running for president. senator, thank you for joining us this afternoon. it's a crowded stage, a crowded field. how do you break through? >> easily, the optimistic positive message when i take it on the road, people are starving for optimism as long as it's anchored in conservativism and you have backbone. and i have both and that's good news for the american people and the campaign trail. >> you've talked about the positive message and explicit

about it. what do you think of the tone from some of the other candidates so far and generally in political discourse, do you think we've reached a point in this country where we're getting down in the mud too much? >> there's no doubt i believe that conservativism anchored in optimism is the way that we start winning elections. seven out of the late eight popular votes for president we have lost. the g.o.p., the great opportunity party has to give americans reasons to be optimistic and to look forward as well as defending the values that we love the most that we know leads to human flourishing. if we do both at the same time, give american a vision for the future and defend and conserve our foundation, we become the dominant party for the next generation of americans. >> we've got some more republicans entering the race, former governor chris christie, former vice-president mike pence, and how does that change the dynamics, do you risk in a crowded field getting lost in that. >> i don't. the good news i get to stand

out with my optimistic perspective, and tax cuts and jobs act, i was one of the three main authors, lowered taxes by single moms, and returned to the american people more than $4,000 on average. it's time for us to get back to work, get people their money back and let's let the american dream continue to be the beacon that we all look for. >> republicans talk a lot about debt and deficits, a big vote in the senate. >> yeah. >> back when you were in the house there was a lot of talk about block granting medicaid, that you can't deal with deficits and debts unless you deal with entitlements. republican stopped talking to it and should they? >> in 2011, a reduction over $40 billion i had a good fortune of being part of the team that cut the budget for our country. there's no question a, we have

social security for our seniors, and medicare, and back to the table, joe biden the radical left spending 40% more than we're bringing in. stop printing and spending money leading to 16% inflation and i am periling families like the one i grew up in, they can't afford 40% increase in gas, food, electricity. we can do better and it's time for the scott presidency to lead us in the economic direction that solves our problems. >> senator tim scott, thank you for joining us this afternoon. we've got senator scott here, a handful of candidates speaking later today and the coverage here on fox news. aishah and griff, back to you. >> rich, a quick question before i let you go. from people talking on the ground there. what do they make, are they talking about the fact that they're not going to see trump today? >> yeah, there's some

discussion about that. the bulk of the field here and governor ron desantis second in the polls right now, he was the last person that we saw really announced that he was making this race, when the field had filled out, there was a notable, notable absence today, but the candidates here and the folks here, iowa, their candidate shoppers the first voting, first caucusing, when it comes to primary season, they're testing people, they're taking a look to see what they hear and what they might be voting for. it's a long process, but, yeah, plenty would like to hear from the former president today, but he's out, certainly on social media, he's not shy at the very least, aishah. >> i'm sure there's a strategy behind this, strategy here, trying to separate himself from the batch. neil: great interview, rich. defense secretary lloyd austin is in singapore in an annual meeting of asian leaders, taking a strong stance against china's bullying in the region and vowing the u.s. will stand

up for its allies. lucas tomlinson is live from the white house with the latest. >> griff, critics say the u.s. should be taking stronger stance against china and you mentioned lloyd austin at a major defense conference in singapore, let's take a listen. >> toward our allies and defend themselves against coercion and bullying. to be clear, we do not seek conflict or confrontation, but we will not flinch in the face of bullying or coercion. >> austin talking about bullying and not so subtle reference to this chinese fighter jet that thumped a u.s. reconnaissance plane and the jet wash in front of the plane causing turbulence. a pair of warships, the

american and canadian ships. learning that the chinese ship went in front of the bow of the american ship. if you're a member of the chinese government and see the ships off shore, they get fired up about that. from the first prime time address, it was the debt ceiling on president biden's mind not china. >> no one got everything they wanted, but the american people got what they needed. we averted an economic crisis, an economic collapse, we're cutting spending and bringing the deficits down at the same time. >> in the senate, more republicans voted against the debt ceiling bill than for it. >> the bill is not perfect, but considering where we're at, it's the best possible outcome we could get with some real conservative wins, so, democrats got everything they wanted, republicans can't get much of what they wanted. >> the debt ceiling, many republicans say the biden

defense budget doesn't spend nearly enough and says it amounts to a cut when you factor in the proximity of the gdp and because of inflation, measures to a cut and not an increase and the chinese people they want to see much more. >> lucas tomlinson live for us on the north lawn. aishah. >> let's dig into all of that with a republican senator from kansas and the budget committee, roger marshall joining us live in the studio, thank you for being with us on this saturday. you've had a busy past 48 hours i would say in the senate. i want first your eaks to secretary austin's recent comments about china, saying they're not going to stand for any coercion and bullying of allies and partners although we're still waiting for a phone call. >> right, we're waiting for the phone call. we need to see actions and not words. those are pretty tall words from an administration that actually just cut the defense budget on the last budget deal that we just did. we've stand there and watching,

china is standing there watching, these are ruthless, cold-blooded leaders that don't care what we say. they've watched us run tail between their legs from afghanistan, and allowing fentanyl to come into the country and kill 300 americans every day and we don't want to see words, we want to see actions. >> defense caps were a part of the debt limit deal that the senate just passed and you voted against. lindsey graham, as well, was pretty outspoken about the defense issue, really worried about our allies and sending more money to ukraine. so, was it a good deal? was it a bad deal for republicans? >> well, this is probably the best deal we could get when republicans only control one of the three levers of the appropriations process. >> then why did you vote against it? >> at the end of the day adding 1.3 trillion dollars of debt to our national debt, burdening my

grandchildren and fueling inflation. we see the work requirements, people that can work, should work. if you're getting snap dollars, medicaid, we think you should work. we lost any type of benefit and hoping to get from the work part of this and then the regulatory regiment that we're hoping to improve upon, that turned out to be dust in the wind as well. there wasn't enough there for me to get behind, but i don't condemn, i don't condemn speaker mccarthy, i think he did the best he could. this is what americans gave us. they gave us only one of the three levers. >> you think he didn't get outsmarted, didn't lose that leverage with the big house g.o.p. bill. some folks on your side of the aisle thing he let it go. >> they need to walk a mile in his shoes. speaker mccarthy did the best with the hand he had, he didn't have much. we knew that kevin had the best he can, and this is what we

have, a liberal socialist, green party person, running this country right now who doesn't care about defense. >> let's play a bite from president biden's address to the country last night and he takes a couple of shots at republicans while calling this a bipartisan win. watch. >> republicans may not like it, but i'm going to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share. i'm also proposed to closing over a dozen special interest tax loopholes for big oil, crypto traders, hedge fund billionaires, saving taxpayers billions of dollars. republicans defended every single one of these special interest loopholes, every single one. >> your reaction to this. >> this is the president of the green socialist party. we don't have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem in this nation. joe biden is the party of tax and spend. what we need is a strong economy. the biggest challenges back home are still inflation and a

lack of people for the jobs we have. this legislation made both of those worse. we need to go back to fundamentals. he's throwing fuel on this inflation fire. >> let's talk about jobs and inflation. the jobs numbers came out yesterday hotter than expected. we're looking at 339,000 jobs added in may. politically a huge win for the white house and they are telling everyone that it is. that it's definitely coming from them, they're taking credit, but what about inflation? the inflation story. when you go back home to kansas, what do you hear from people? >> that's exactly it. it's still the cost of doing business. people are almost numb to this inflation issue, whether it's the price of gas, groceries, the price of housing, but what they're not numb to is the lack of people for the jobs that we have. so despite this good jobs number we still have seven million healthy american men between the ages of 25 and 45, that have never returned to work. people need to follow the labor participation rate, which is still some 4% below what it

was, say, in 2010. we need those folks that can work, go back to work, work brings dignity to a family and i think something in our heart that says contributing to society is a good thing. >> senator marshall, thank you for joining us in the studio and staying in d.c. for us this weekend. we appreciate it. >> thanks, aishah. neil: let's hear from the other side of the aisle. democratic congressman from massachusetts, member of the house transportation, infrastructure committee, jake au au au a a auken auchincloss joins us. unemployment ticking up 3.7%, and your reaction? >> continuing one of the strongest economic recoveries in history. this president took office, we were facing a depression, we were in the middle of the pandemic and oh, yeah, he had to stare down an insurrection on one of his first days in office. what we've seen is bipartisan

investments in infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing to outcompete china. we've seen action to lower the cost of health care by empowering medicare to negotiate, and we've seen millions and millions of new jobs added, and inflation going down every month for the last 10 months. this president is presiding over a strong economy and this week, he has protected it by preventing a catastrophic default that would have cratered jobs and retirement accounts. >> no doubt that would have been bad and you were part of that center that held. it's very fascinating. i want to touch on explaining so many americans. the statistics that you mentioned. you can certainly stand behind, but yet, americans aren't feeling it. they're still having trouble when they go to the grocery store, still trying to figure out how they're going to pay for this summer's vacations. how do you pars the reality on main street and the rhetoric coming out of washington? >> prices remain too high.

democrats have taken action on the health care sector by empowering medicare and negotiating drug prices and capping the cost of insulin which republicans refuse to join in. and the reality remains that the pandemic induced supply chains and russia invasion of ukraine has snarled some of our ability to bring prices down expeditiously. but for 10 straight months we've seen inflation cool, particularly in energy and what's interesting about those economic stats is when you ask individual americans how they're doing financially, they tend to say that they're in okay shape. when you ask them how the rest of the economy is doing, they tend to say the rest of the economy is in bad shape. there seems to be this disjunction between the self-perception doing well and wider economy where because of some of the tribalism and reporting they tend to think that the economy is in bad shape and democrats are going to have to pierce through the pessimism, and explain how

historic and effective this economic recovery has been. >> no doubt, this is going to be the top issue, i think, at this point, on the campaign trail for 2024, let's change gears because i want you to get you to weigh in on the comments of defense secretary lloyd austin today, seeing that washington will not stand for coercion and bullying by china. tough words. >> united states stands for a free and open indo-pacific and that means we're going to work with our allies to maintain the status quo on the taiwan strait and prevent militarization of the south china sea and support the rules-based order in asia that allows for trade and diplomacy to work and ever more people to join the ranks of the middle class, but actually the most important questions about china right now are not in the summit, two places, one is in ukraine where the united states needs to ensure the strategic defeat of russia to demonstrate to the world and to xi jinping, in particular, the example of

our power. and number two in des moines, iowa, where republican presidential candidates are going to be faced with a choice, whether they want to pursue the party of trump, isolationist and kowtows to putin or of reagan that understands the rules based international order and rest assured that xi jinping is watching what they're saying. neil: . griff: great insight there. and since you brought it up, with the roast and ride in iowa today. what are the democrats saying behind closed doors, president biden took a hard fall this week at the air force academy graduation and it's not his first time. is his age and his fragile condition going to be an issue for democrats? is it a voter concern of yours? >> i'm one of the younger members of congress and so, i think and see a lot about the influence of age in politics and my view is that in politics, you are young for so

long as you are willing to take risks to do the right thing and president biden just this week took a risk to do the right thing for the country in compromising with speaker mccarthy to avert a catastrophic default so i think that president biden's record of bipartisan achievement-- >> jake, jake, forget his record. he's clearly a man of his age, the fall is concerning, are democrats going to ignore the age thing even though polling suggests it's 60-something% quinnipiac says he's too old, but a concern for a fall. he's fortunately okay, the white house says he's fine, but as everybody knows, with our elderly citizens, if he had a serious injury, that would be bad. are democrats going to ignore this reality and just move on and hope that it doesn't come up between now and november in 520-something days? >> i think elections are choices not referendums on any single issue and the choice on

the battle in 2024 is going to be a president presided over one of the strongest economic recoveries in history stood tall for american values in ukraine and helped to heal the soul of this nation after an insurrection when he took office and faced with a candidate unfortunately who is likely to be in the trump vein of the mag ga wing of the trump party, culture wars and mean-spirited revisionist of american greatest and i think the choice is pretty stark. griff: it's interesting, a long ways to go, already the campaign trail is front and center. thank you for being with us. >> a tennessee law banning drag shows in places where kids see them is unconstitutional. >> saying it violates freedom of speech. the ruling in the law, that the

bill that governor lee signed back in march is unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad. our political panel will react to this ruling later on in the show. griff: did you see this shocking new images of armed drug cartels crossing the u.s. border into our country. the details next. ght in ensurx protein with 30g of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uh... here i'll take that. -everyone: woo hoo! ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar. enter the nourishing moments giveaway for a chance to win $10,000. i'm world champion skier lindsey vonn, and ever since i retired, i've had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep - you know, insomnia. which was making my days feel like an uphill battle.

and i don't like going uphill. that is, until i discovered something different, quviviq - a once-nightly fda -approved medication for adults with insomnia. not getting enough sleep was leaving me tired... oh come on! wait, wait! and slowing me down during my days. on your left! making even the things i love difficult. but quviviq helped me get more sleep. quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed that sleep continued to improve over time. so now that i'm getting more sleep, things are going back downhill. in a good way. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake

that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

>> border patrol arresting five armed cartel members as they crossed into the u.s. and officials confirmed to fox, multiple times this week, suspected cartel members with rifles crossed into the rio grande area. claudia cowan has details. >> this mexican drug cartel is known to be especially vicious and suspected members carrying weapons were spotted crossing over the southern border last week more than once. you can see the back of one of these people picked up on surveillance camera. he was spotted moving through the brush and as you can see he was heavily armed, but it isn't known if this person was ever captured. however, these five were caught and arrested. take a look at this picture sent into fox from the texas department of public safety. these five men are suspected members of the northeast cartel. and along with weapons, they

had two minors with them, 15 and 16 years old. take a look at this picture. we have blurred out their eyes, but they were reportedly terrified and believed they may have been part of a recruitment effort. officials say the northeast cartel routinely kidnaps teenagers and even kids and then them. and with a spike of illegal immigration it's a turf war with cartels fighting for highly profitable smuggling routes. >> the mexican drug cartels have become even more emboldened, more powerful because of that, they're able to profit off human smuggling. with that, now you're going to have increase in cartel violence in mexico with rival cartels fighting each other for human smuggling and drug smuggling into the united states. >> the five men in custody will be questioned to gather

intelligence about the cartel and texas may also file weapons charges in this case if the federal government doesn't. aishah, back to you. aishah: claudia, thank you so much for that report. griff: all right. for more on this, we're joined now by the executive director of immigration studies, mark kerkorian. mark, thank you for taking time. and you obviously have spent your entire previously career studying the border and these issues. let me get you to quickly react to the fact that we've got evidence now of these cartels operating, coming armed across into the u.s. >> well, of course, this is going to happen. i mean, biden has invited large scale illegal immigration and a lot of those-- most of those people aren't criminals or gang members, but in the kind of the flow that president biden's policies have created, these kind of bad guys take advantage of it and the

border patrol, frankly, is kind of overwhelmed. they're like in that old ""i love lucy" scene, lucy in the chocolate factory, overwhelmed with what biden is inviting, who is watching the rest of the border. it's great that they've apprehended these guys, but how many got by them without being caught. griff: great point. mark, let's talk about the state of the border crisis right now. when i was down at the border right before title 42 lifted we were seeing more than 10,000 illegal crossings every day. now it's around 3,000. so the border crisis is over, right? >> no, it's not. it's no question that it's subsided temporarily, but what we're seeing at the border is kind of like that con game on the street with the three cups and the ball. president biden's administration is saying, look, here is the illegal aliens moving the cups around and

picking one up, look, there's no illegal aliens. but what they're doing, they're trying to funnel the people who were coming across, instead of crossing illegally, they're telling them, make an appointment, they have this app that they use called cbp1 and come to the regular ports of entry, that's what they call the crossing points, and then we'll let you know and let you go. so what's happening is instead of the illegal immigrants breaking the law by hopping the border, the biden administration is breaking the law by inviting them in and letting them go. griff: i want to put up a quote from your piece, just a poignant piece explaining this. saying that the administration's goal at the border has never been to stop the flow of people who have no right to cross into the united states. the white house wants the problem just to stop being in the news and don't want to see

myself or bill melugin down there with the drone in the sky showing clear evidence of just a stream of illegal immigration. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, what they want to do is accommodate the flow so that you don't have the kind of things that bill melugin had the drone pictures, remember, of all of these haitians last year under the bridge, thousands of people. that's what really got the white house's attention. that's what they don't want to see. so, if people are lining up and coming through ports of entry, the administration is saying, look, what's the problem? it's all legal. the thing is it's not legal. the administration does not have the right to let these people in and just let them go into the united states. congress has rules that it has passed and if you want to change those, well, then introduce a bill. the administration says, no, we just have the right to let in anybody we want, however many

we want and whenever we want just to do it. griff: just to be clear so americans understand, mark, because we have constantly been reporting at least here on fox about the catch and release problem. that's why the migrants are coming because they are caught and then released. you're saying now, with this change in legal pathway with the cbp1 app they're continuing to catch and release and done through a port of entry over at river. >> an app open table to make a reservation at a restaurant, well, that's what the administration has done. they've come up with this app where you can make a reservation and schedule your illegal immigration into the united states, and they're saying, look, it's no problem, it's legal, what are you complaining about. griff: it's like going on open table and booking a table at your reservation only in this case it's to get paroled into the u.s. applying for asylum in most cases will not be granted. >> right, exactly. so, and the thing is, where are

we going to find them if they don't show up for court and get turned down, they're in the wind. we're not going to deport them. griff: they're being told to self-deport. not sure how well that's going to work. mark krikorian, thank you for your time, sir. aishah: the prime suspect in the disappearance of alabama teenager natalee holloway, jordan vandersloot, facing charges in america for charges you might not have thought about. what natalee's family thinks about it next. with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv the subway series is getting an upgrade! the new #19 the pickleball club. who knew the subway series could get even better? me, i knew. maybe you should host a commercial then. sure, okay. subway series just keeps getting better. ♪

>> peruvian authorities are now preparing to transfer joran vandersloot to the u.s. for attempting to sell information on natalee holloway's disappearance. he was convicted of murdering stephanie floor he is flores,

a different girl. >> and telling that joran vandersloot moved that nation's capital, and that the transfer would happen at midnight and vandersloot would arrive at the new facility in lima, peru by sunday morning and then offered to the fbi for temporary extradition to the united states affected to face charges for an alleged scheme to exchange information about natalee holloway in exchange for $250,000 from the girl's mother. the teenage girl went missing from aruba in 2005. vandersloot serving a 28 year sentence for the murder of a 21-year-old woman in peru has long been the prime suspect in natalee holloway's

disappearance. her mother beth told that the extradition would have a chance for justice to be served. it's been a long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off and together we're finally getting justice for natalee. according to records, vandersloot previously admitted to shoving the alabama teen so hard that she hit her head on a rock and died back in 2015 however his story has shifted many times over the years. his own lawyer has even questioned his credibility and natalee holloway's body has never been found to definitively prove it. it's not clear when he'll arrive in the united states. expected within the next couple of taste, but when he does arrive, he's expected to face extortion and wire fraud charges in federal court. aishah: it seems like this family is never going to get the peace they deserve, but i hope they get some justice.

charles watson, thank you so much. griff: you might be surprised to hear many teachers say gun violence is not their biggest worry when they're in the classroom. they say bullying is at the top of the list. earlier this week, we took a deep dive. >> a shocking new survey shows bullies not guns, top teachers concerns in the classroom. this, after approximately 300 shooting incidents at k through 12 schools in 2022. but the rand corporation says that quote, despite the growth in gun violence, bullying rather than active shooters was teachers' most common concern. >> for a long time we've known that bullying is a problem in schools and we haven't had very good data about it. so this is really the first nationally represented survey of teachers asking them about bullying, that we have seen. griff: bullying leads, and fights second. drugs, self-harm 10% and active

shooters, 7th on the list with only 5%. the executive director of the association of american educators agrees with the findings. >> they're seeing every day bullying that can lead to self-harm, fights, and disruptions to the learning environment. that's a more common problem that they're facing and teachers on the want more support. griff: and division whether teachers should be armed. some say less safe and 20% say safer. 26% believe it would not have any discernible impact. all told, rand estimates if given the option approximately 550,000 of the country's three million k through 12 teachers would choose to carry a firearm at school. >> a fascinating study and aishah, you maybe have talked to someone, particularly as a father of daughters, this bullying thing is really real and as we've talked with the

researcher for rand corporation there, she you know really talked about how so many of the problems we see leading all the way up to school shootings originate oftentimes with bullying and that it's got to get under control and with cyber bullying being such a big part of it. aishah: you said you think that social media has a lot to do with this. i think it's parenting. it always comes down to how you are being raised. kids learn everything from their moms and dads and now days, you just wonder, especially during covid when they're around their parents so much, what were they watching and seeing from their own parents? i mean, really, i think it comes down to, you know, who are the adults in the room that are raising your kids. griff: a great point. and the values that they're instilling in those children. one thing is for sure, and the fascinating take away, the first study of its kind done on bullying. and hopefully now we'll hear

more about it, a clear problem in our school. aishah: a new york lawyer is under fire after using chat gpt to prepare for a case and finding out that all the stuff that he got was bogus. that story next. frustrated by skin tags? dr. scholl's has the breakthrough you've been waiting for. the first fda-cleared at-home skin tag remover clinically proven to remove skin tags safely in as little as one treatment.

>> all right. so the next story is kind of funny and sad and a new york lawyer facing a sanctions hearing next week after

presenting a brief with fake citations. steven shorts who has over three decades of experience, using chat gp tt and not realizing that the cases didn't exist. lexie is joining us right now and thank you for being with us. >> thank you, good to see you. aishah: thank you, you too. i have to ask you, you've put in years of education and i can't imagine the years of student loans you put out. and making your blood boil when you think that someone is trying to cut corners by typing into a chat gpt and trying to get some easy answers? >> i actually felt bad for him. and my take is this, chat gpt didn't start the fire. the fire was burning. once lawyers were mercifully able to use things other than

books on the internet, it opened up the flood gates for a lot of information with less time and less work and some of the information out on the internet that can give you a 60,000 foot perspective on a legal issue is pretty decent, but what's important, the people can't just rely on the internet and ai and we know we can't rely on unsourced legal blogs and reddit and cora and questions. aishah: got to stay away from cora. >> right, but ai has been billed to be so accurate that it's literally about to replace our jobs so i felt bad for him in the sense he probably didn't know any better and probably thought it was akin to lexus or a west law and i wouldn't have done the same thing and wouldn't have trusted chat gpt without sources the cases myself and making sure they were real cases reliable. aishah: because you're smart.

>> i try. aishah: and let's bring up on the screen here, what he told the court. this is what shorts tried to explain to the court, he never used chat gpt to conduct legal research before so this was a one-off he said, he was unaware that content could be false, so that's what you're saying that he had no idea, and that he greatly regrets relying on ai. at the end of the day, lexi, the biggest losers are his clients. >> and the court's not going to rely on the cases, that don't exist and his clients are probably furious, but he's one of the biggest losers the last two things are probably true, he didn't know they were false and didn't know he couldn't rely on ai, but i find it hard to believe the first time he did this was the time he got caught. if so, he's got terrible luck, but this can be undone in terms of the clients. they'll probably just submit new briefs, it's not necessarily going to hurt his case. the person it hurts the most is probably him and his firm, but this is a larger issue.

there are lawyers and other professionals, probably even doctors, other professionals that are turning to chat gpt and ai and the internet to find their answers and it's a cautionary tale as much as we believe we're this close to replacing humans with ai, we're not actually that close and probably a good thing, especially for people like me. aishah: and me. with just 30 seconds left here, i know the particular stories here on twitter, the federal judge in texas is now requiring lawyers in cases to certify they aren't using ai. what do you make of that? >> i think that that seems like an attention grabbing headline and knee jerk reaction. we have the duty of due diligence and confidence and advocacy, that's no difference and you always had the obligation to make sure that you're citing the right things to the court and it doesn't seem like it's necessary in terms of chat gpt. that's not a new requirement, it's always a requirement of lawyers and that seems to me like a little bit after knee jerk reaction.

aishah: a headline grabber. thank you so much for all things ai, i appreciate it. griff: well, aishah, one of america's most famous race horse venues shutting down after a string of mysterious horse deaths. that's next. i think i waited this long to get botox® cosmetic because i take like no time for myself. my kids are sports kids. we're always running from one activity to another. i'm still tonya, and i got botox® cosmetic, and this is like the first thing i've done for me in a really, really long time. my life is still crazy, it's just as full as it was before. just with less lines. botox® cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions,
