story. >> we should be asking ourselve and who keeping watch? he is a young kid a 21 -year-ol who had access to classified information may be the largess to classify that leak in our recent history and that where was it the leadership? and support an investigation that house armed services or oversight both committees i set on today to get more informatio about how this happened and i want to know like every other american was who is in charge. each side right now one side calling him a traitor the other side is euro but neither side has the information or the data to be able to make that decisio yet because there's no investigation and we haven't ha our first classified briefing which will happen later this week when were back in session. >> kilby back in court too. it is also the issue of how lon the documents were percolating out on the internet. >> its a fair to ask how the documents could circulate for weeks on discord and other platforms without us

counterintelligence agents of finding that to the press reported it. it is another case of misplaced priorities by the federal burea of investigation. that that back and who is to blame it for the lengthy time i took for us to discover it is t mark. >> at the end of the day it'll be dod in the pentagon to blame at the leadership on the ground this young man worked for how was he able to take classified documents out of a skip take pictures of them take them home and put them on discord? it's crazy to think this was happening in that's clear that no one was watching where this young man was working and what he was doing. >> we dig into it more when i want to talk about the controversial issues that the gop is dealing with you saul lucas is reporting about the nr all the big stars in the runnin for 2024 and may showed up and made this comes as the help but sit among the shadow of another

round of mass shootings and begin overnight were tracking this one out of alabama. >> a press republicans in a tricky position as they juggle aligning themselves on key issues that bode well amongst a their base while while risking alienating another block of voters and proven that they can make or break a critical elections. where does this conversation about guns go? >> we need to have this conversation. every mass associating their just a it. her prayers are offered easter baskets are offered. no real solutions and i'm a constitutional conservative. about a week ago my kids and i were a mile away from a massive sheeting and cast south carolin where six people were shot. we saw the immediate aftermath of that shooting all the police cars and ems in the first thing my kids asked me after that shooting they said hey where is at amber alert to let us know what we are near a massive sheeting and maybe we should have taken cover or maybe not left the house so we can be safe

. and republicans can no longer b silent on this issue. it's not about the second amendment. there are plenty of things we could be doing besides offering prayers and silence a. of some sort of amber alert to let the community know there's been a shooting sheeting strengthening our background checks something the vast majority of americans support. hardening our schools should churches and synagogues so ther is deterrence so when a shooter enters a place that they know that maybe be that i can make i there because those or windows. those kinds of common and that things are all things every american on either side of the aisle can get behind it. yet every time there's a massiv sheeting and green increasing every year and every week, we don't say anything when they bury heads in the sand in hopes it goes away. it's not going away. even though i'm in south carolina, it is an issue that continues to be a problem for republicans. we have not learned anything from the midterm elections not

offering any type of solution what would you say bipartisan legislation that got through to the president's desk last year. there are places where those incremental changes one of the chief negotiators of that one o the top republicans in the senate. i don't know that there is an appetite you talk about hardening targets but a lot of people don't say talk about tha we don't care about that it's only about the guns at. is there any common ground on capitol hill right now? with the master majority of americans it is common ground. both sides whether abortion or gun violence they tend to dig their heels and an operating middleground. i've been working on gun violence issues were a number o years as a state lawmaker and now as a member of congress tha we can do that another issue that we have all these database and the federal and state level

that are all over the place of those not one piece of software you can merge all the information together to know in 60 seconds whether or not to ba guy it doesn't have to be complicated but we need to show leadership on sensitive issues because of these issues that motivate our constituencies and voters especially independent voters sheehan and republicans haven't won a majority the popular vote. in years when it comes to the presidency and that something when he to work on and do better . this issue of abortion as well want to rate how the susan b anthony pro-life at lester hous you rock deo. they say guess you voted largel pro-life but confusingly she's also publicly denounced certain protections for unborn children and undermined a thoughtful strategy applied members of congress who are working to pus back against the the extremism of pro- abortion members of congress. how do you define pro-life? radius at the limits? where would you set the

exemptions and-- >> i find it ironic that susan anthony what a rat attacked me. i a victim of rape and that i advocate for people to have raped. because i'm talking about birth control. at some of these groups have gotten so over-the-top and extreme that we need to find a middle ground on this issue. i have a great pro-life voting record but some of other stance we take to rape and incest protecting the life of a mother, it's so extreme. the middle independent voters they cannot support us. and again i represent a purple district. i talked a boat or the other da and she leapt to the republican party or this issue she's independent voters she's pro-choice. her gestational limits are at 1 weeks. i'm pro-life legislator and 15- 20 makes it. there's a lot of middleground. i think it's important how we talk about the issues and offer solutions.

we got 14 counties in south carolina who don't have a singl ob/gyn dr.. if working a ban abortion, what are we doing to make sure that women have access to birth control? how do we approve about adoptio services? what about the kids at that are not wanted? what about our foster care system? what about nurses that can trea women who need ob/gyn care in those areas it? what about birth control? there are a lot of things we ca do to protect life and that alienate the independent voter. >> that's what susan b anthony list misses. >> to my understanding they hav no problem with birth control. it's the issue of abortion. i want to put apple of gallup polls here. to look at where americans are. we had the majority is pro-choice and tipping that way the last few years. here is some recent polling about whether it should be lega under certain circumstances that's 50 percent of americans another 13 illegal in all circumstances. there are people who clearly have issues when you look at th

trimester framework by the time had the second second trimester a majority of americans 55 percent say that they think abortion should be illegal. that's sitting the 13 week point . here's what senator graham said about how it's been handled. >> if you are pro-life, you nee to explain that what that means it. here's what it means to me. i want to protect as many babie as possible. at when exceptions of her pregnancies as a result of rape incest and the life of the mothers in jeopardy. the family can decide it. i do believe in commonsense restrictions on abortion. that's where america is at the democratic solution when it comes to abortion as taxpayer funded abortion up to the momen of birth that's a barbaric thoughts like china that's like north korea. >> years among others they are feeling they are clearly articulating their positions an not clearly articulating the democrats position that i would agree with that guy think it's fair. also what i saw last year loses

seats we should have one i actually made this issue a cornerstone of my campaign actually hide and ad about rape talking about exceptions or because i wanted voters to know where i stood at issue. i've done a number of interview i made it very clear what my position is and rather than winning by one point which is what i went by two years ago, i ended up up winning by 14 point because i clearly articulated where i was on the issue of eve though i'm pro-life, i represen a progrowth choice district i saw the tightest change after roe was overturned. we went mildly pro-choice to being vast majority of voters big pro-choice after pro be weighed it changed the entire electoral environment 22 and i will tell you a star and senato graham's comments and some of the positions i've taken, we have not learned our lesson fro the midterm election. >> you're saying you can embrac the issue and talk about it it and still talked about increasing your margin is it just that you think gop

lawmakers and candidates are no articulating this carefully or should they stay away from the issue altogether? they should not stay away from that they should be vocal and articulate it where exactly the stand to try to find that middleground when you're talkin about rape and incest the vast majority of people most people agree with that birth control these are all things that women support women are watching instead it seems like and it feels like we are burying our heads in the sand every time i start with my head out and take a position i take it publicly. republicans will chrome a privately and i say what bill what we do weapons conference and then they're silenced its crickets and its tone deaf we are afraid of the issue because with fate of our base but that' not where the base is i won my primary last or i would argue the only person that be president in a primary i won it by nine points this is been my position all along i have not changed who i am i stood my

ground on my principles and we won resoundingly will see how middie republicans take that tack congress invasive thank yo for being with us jackie keene gender will great to have your back we want to ask you about abortion but will ask about the leak and all the other things going on i went to play something that from a sec. defense secretary said about th suspect. i don't understand why 21 -year-old national guardsmen ha access to some of the most highly kept secrets in the united states and the particula finished products from the join staff are from the cia operations center so apparently this is a part of his job but d you worry there is overproduction of some of the classified information? up to 1 million people in the country have access. >> certainly. and nothing so much about his age it is the issue did he have any to know on a surface of it it looks like he doesn't have a

needed no he's a tech supporter of helping to make a system wor does he have to have access to all the information? to help make it work that's the question and obviously it needs to be answered but then the second thing is clearly the security issue itself they have from 1a understand we stop at them drives for being used by people who are operating these networks they said they can't take out information from that. there's other ways to take it out i think initially he was taking notes on it. >> on his person secondly i think he began to make copies o it so if you're going to do something in the system, i'm no an it person but i think you ca have a system alert. if someone is going to transfer information on the system to some other vehicle, even a copy machine may be that person is authorized to do that based on position they have but other people should be some kind of default system. the security is a nation.

we were blindsided intelligent services were blindsided the pentagon as we got to get to th bottom of it the fbi does counterintelligence the pentago doesn't do it are agencies cannot surveilled the american people. the fbi does that. that's gotta be answered also. why was it out there for such a long time and such but i am tha we did not detective our media detected it. >> what are the things that cam out from this documents that have a beneficially verified bu have been linked it shows us that taiwan is unlikely to thor worked air superiority in a conflict they talk about the tactics china uses its civilian from purposes there are all kinds of things that come forward that show worries about taiwan and china. how worried about you about tensions in that region? there's no way that taiwan can defend itself against china.

you picked the system missiles ships submarines airpower while they can pose a certainly, they cannot defend adequately. that's why they need allies and partners and the united states. what we are trying to do is prevent a war. and together taiwan the united states and our allies we have t establish what we refer to for years and successfully against the soviet union. that is effective military deterrence so they see that and recognize the cost is too great and the outcome is uncertain. that is effective deterrence an we do not have it. the pacific commander admiral has said this is a dangerous situation we are in right now and we have to move with a sens of urgency to fix it. >> goes as issue so many people have been talking about that us

weapon stockpiles are now badly depleted our defense industrial base is taxed to the point we'v been unable to deliver some $20 billion in promised militar supplies. we had chairman macall singh three years ago he signed off o stuff that's not gotten into taiwan. china knows that part is not place. >> the defense department has put together some kind of a tiger team to go after this. we are going to have to move to dealing with ukraine has pulled back his gap for us. china too keep up with a munition that we are thrown in the ukraine which is different than the ammunition we would need and the weapon systems to deal with china. the fact is it, our defense industrial basis is not adequat to go to work. it's struggling to support ukraine. we've seen that the exercises w play we go out of ammunition in a week or two. we have to move it to a war footing even though were in peacetime.

a war footing in terms of defense industrial based and here is the elephant in the room . we have a defensive budget that the administration is touting this the largest defense budget and history. that's a pretty much every single euro keeps going up i don't think it's necessary all that factual but the truth is when we were dealing with the soviet union, the average percentage of gdp the defense budget represented was around 6 percent. our budget is sitting as pretentious around 3 percent. virtually half of it. we can't get there with that kind of defense budget and actually the budget proposed is below inflation rates so it's actually a deck deck. the rhetoric is right about dealing with china but china is looking at what's reality. reality is how much money are w putting on solving the problem. we can't solve that defense industrial base problem unless we put money on that and pay th

defense industry to go to a worktime and start working multiple shifts seven days a week to solve the problem and you better than most know exactly how long it takes to ge back up and going thank you we appreciate your insights. >> raping her as always up next the latest on yet another legal issue for president trumpet tha you may have forgotten all about . our sunday panel joins is next to discuss.

telling he is out for 2024. it's time for our sunday group and author of the new book serenity in the storm. living through chaos by leaning on christ. >> cailee machen any john delaney former chief of staff o'connell and jos holmes and bloomberg news white house and politics editor mario parker welcome to all of you good to see you so secretary pompeo is out for now. as somebody who is not yet end in but a lot of people think ro desantis recited abortion bill you heard my conversation about how the gop is trying to navigate. political reports it this way desantis marked the bill within 11:00 p.m. twee non- oppressive event that accompanies a signature policy achievement an that may be because of one of the financial times is reportin a top republican donor halting

plans to help finance the us bi due to his quote extreme positions on social issues they holding the powder dry. >> i think you can always find someone in that underclass who has a problem with gop issues it's been like that forever. i don't think it's the issue that incorporate media. >> just as a governor camp in georgia who is signed and law what that did to the center elect elect in georgia get republicans at losing at the federal level he blew them away at the state level in the state legislature who voted for it i think this is an issue that people want to extrapolate out on a federal level it really really motivates a liberal base particularly on the financial side by think in terms of where the american people are on the issue of abortion, mario

supporters will say yes look at places like florida like ohio o texas where the governors have pushed through tougher bands an to have them rewarded with double-digit wins i think the problem here with in his donors wasn't necessarily the fact of the issues the fact that they'r reading the team leads and starting to hedge their bets look at the timing in the meantime former president trump is facing a lot of equal legal issues but one that pokes of forgotten about it isn't noted by this indictment or national radio what they're talking abou his civil trial for rape at beginning ten days. he's caught in a maelstrom that much of it is own making that

the civil lawsuit accusing him of sexual esso is largely flown under the radar the case is going to federal court ten days from now. he's got a lot on his legal player. >> he doesn't. what he could do best running for president is say we are talking about me but we should talk about you and the voters. i thought it was a bit of a missed opportunity following th indictment he hot network news channels covering his speech an that that was a moment when he would've started out saying the exact likenesses about me it should be about you six people have died in nashville. at six christians three childre we need to have a national conversation about protecting our schools up. we need to bring down down inflation draw that contest is eddie a presidential candidate knows you don't want this to be a referendum on you but a choic you're delivering to the american people. the best he could do over the next few months and year as he his case is it turn it right back to the american people. >> for now everything that's happening is working.

they say the indictment is turbocharging his fundraising whether presidents of former indictment along with potential future charges puts him in serious legal jeopardy. it has helped to solidify his standing with his supporters an grow his campaign. he's up at 20 points at least a polls on ron desantis many beyond that but the money is pouring in by the millions as well. >> what he has going is that it does not appear that the republican field will be small and at that's a huge advantage for former president trump. divided field. he gets his block of voters if he wins the best chance of defeating trump is having one o two people in the race. the real question is as you mention the rape trial coming u and then there's a wave of additional legal battles. the weight of it these things

over time saying he's being attracted by liberals and democrats all that stuff but over time to your middle-of-the-road about her in the republican primary it's the weight of all these illegal actions just bury him and give another candidate an opportunit to emerge. you think that's the question i too early to tell but it would not surprise me. >> the current president is going to run again. this has been his explanations so far. >> are you saying that you woul be taking part in our upcoming election. >> [indiscernible] and that being the guy the push them out. >> help a brother out. were not prepared to announce it . >> he said something similar i

like how jell-o the first lady is looking around like with he about to say. >> if you look at what the whit house has been doing the last couple of months and years went we see the in lenses of reelection campaign starting hi trip to ireland this week which he told reporters he was reinforced by being ancestral homeland. his affray is where you see him say finish the job as well. if you squint you can see the reelection starting to take shape. the problem is all the crises that i keep confronting the white house when is the best time to push the button? >> in some ways it's brilliant politics. what's a classic joe biden? a real feel for real tell politics. there he is with our broker easter thing and you just kind of says it. it seemed it seems very normal. people know he is running it is actually honest i talk shows sa

they came out with a report tha he is banking on a later announcement out he says relatively soon he wants republicans to let chaotic and for him to be the president who is leading which is why we have to quickly to submit informatio from senior people in governor desantis political i wanted to put this out there regarding th donors he said donors do not se policy this disagreement did no matter to him i want to throw this out here. $200 million is what he raised in the reelects 120 million currently is what he has small donors across the country would argue are pulling his coffers they're showing up in places like new hampshire and other places it. the timeline we wait. >> what are the panel coming up at first my next guest sparked huge backlash when he called on a prominent senator and his own party to resign some say the movie could be about simply boosting his preferred candidat into that seat if it were to open up. is that the case?

democrat response live, next.

>> there are new warnings about the use of artificial intelligence technologies. at this time the concern coming from a tech industry tighten th next guest is the democrat whos district includes a love the

company building the ai told right now. joining me now congressman democratic welcome back to fox news sunday. it. >> think you for having me. >> you know more about this of the most. let's get started there with what eli muscat told our tucker carson. >> more dangerous than mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production in the sense tha it is the potential how this regard that probability. it's not trivial or has the potential of a civilizational instruction. >> civilizational destruction let me get that out be how woul you characterize of the threats from ai? >> like any technology, has the potential of extraordinary good. it can map the human genome and lead to extraordinary advances in medicine but it also could d extraordinary harm if it design systems that don't have human judgment and i think what the

most important thing is to make sure humans always have the final control and we have safet checks. >> the conversations about whether congress should set these roles whether they un or international body does it i went to play something for a former google eric schmidt talking to you guys in congress about how it should play out. american on a nobody american scientist said the government and corporations above this future it will get something close to what we want you guys can work on the edges where you have misuse select you think it how it should work let american companies work it out let the a advance and then if there is struggled in congress should ge involved? >> i think we need to be proactive about it. we need to come up with clear roles for safety. clear goals that say humans nee to have the final say here's th thing if we aren't leading here china they're not stopping. they're building there ai and most important thing is it's

american leadership with american values on this technology and is the american people putting the roles out an not china. i fellow democrat of euros a talk about this he said social media companies have all kinds of power we haven't been able t come up with any legislation to deal with those issues. what makes you think congress can get it together on ai? it sadly have been able to do i on social media the place where we should come together is for young kids. at a one third of teenage girls in this country have contemplated suicide part of it is because of social media ther should be bipartisan concern that they should have a standar that you can't harm children an be able to regulate social medi in that way. i think on ai having the framework that says we need safety regulations we need huma checks is something that should be bipartisan. it should not be a partisan issue we will watch to see wher you go on that but let's talk about what you did this week that's making headlines you tak

heat for saying that senator dianne feinstein should resign after weeks of being out for medical care. also responded to a tweet somebody was criticizing about his common sense and added this there is job i know of where yo continue to not show up in people think think it's perfectly fine we live in a democracy the people are the boss. senator federman has been out longer than she has are you as you're concerned just about her are applies to him as well? >> only in washington would get criticized for saying something so obvious i have a lot of respect for senator feinstein but she's invested 75 percent o votes at this year. she has not been showing up and she has no intention. we don't know if she's even going to shoaib she has no return date and contrast senato federman said skinner show back up on april 17. it's one thing to take medical leave and come back it's anothe thing we are not doing the job. the reality here is that the sense you need to have a

deference it to the senators ho did the deference to the american people how by an expectation that if you sign up to do one of these jobs it, you show up. >> a number of folks have said is ageism sexism but it may be political opportunism issue one or read something that kimberly's rope. she says it don't think mr. con is motivated entirely by civic mindedness governor gavin newso is to appoint a black woman to succeed should she stepped down mr., happens to be cochairman o house republicans bar belize campaign for the scene messily atlee is an obvious top contender for a placeholder picket which would give her a huge it up over rivals any 24. your response to those who say this is a political situation more than a concern for the country. i am very proud to be a cochair bar belize campaign one of the strongest antiwar voices in the congress opposed to these governor newsom can appoint a caretaker he doesn't have to

point someone in the current race and i would support the governor doing that. this has nothing to do with the current race because of the caretaker would solve that. this has to do with someone who is not showing up and i said ou loud what people have been saying in private and this is how the beltway works. they don't like it when you cal out someone who's in power and that's why people are unlikely to do it we've had so many call from the american people and they say it's right if you can assign up to do these jobs, sho up at. >> i will say to get somebody o the record always an interestin development thank you for being with us this week. >> thank you. up next one of the biggest lead in the hectic political week abided white house plans of her vehicle emissions rules that could change the kind of car yo buy. one of the ways of the ministration is using regulations it to quietly make changes to your life.. we will take a, next.

the biden administration is whipping through a series of proposed will changes on a variety of issues touching americans everyday lives. a car emissions it, conscious protections for medical workers in a whole lot more. now back to our panel to discus if you have the regular there changes let's start with the electoral vehicles of the ppa i proposing a coning and emission limits and showing that 67 percent of all new passenger cars and trucks produced within nine years electric. this is state coercion it is undemocratic we are not governe it we are managed.

>> to turn the clock back 50 years into the passage of clean air act the exact same language was used. and now that we have 50 years o data, what it says is that the benefits of the queen air act have outweighed the cost by 30- i think that people love to say all the regulations will kill business about some in the private sector what the president is doing with the electric vehicle regulation is he is accelerating with already hopping. we sold it last year three time a number of electrical vehicles were sold in 2020. every major automaker has repositioned to their future plans of tort vehicles all they have to when the government say basically you're not can have any other option? basically in some ways what the do is allow the private companies to basically say we'v been investing in this way now we can double down there's no going back all these company changed their plans for one

reason is because of tesla whic is an american company actually in many ways a based on government policy that encouraged the it's existence came the most valuable auto company in the world. everything gautama bill company changed its plans. i think it's good policy will look back and say the president took a major step to accelerate our efforts to combat climate change and you're going to see tremendous amount of investing in the united states. the us will be the leader in electric vehicles is from a colette the businesses say we did this because of the regulatory pressure i think the difference between the clean ai act were so talk about combustible engine is still dealing with domestic sources o energy. it to me there's nothing other than perhaps the student loan issue that better illustrates o the economic illiteracy of the biting administration. on one hand you mandate electri cars. secondly you use taxpayer dollars to incentivize of the purchase of the same time you limit the ability to mine

rare-earth minerals that are critical to building set electric car in them by the way in south china has a near monopoly and all opponents it takes to make it all you have done is take with the american advantages and send it to china all by air issue. list everything we can let's no make another domestic product entirely reliance on china. it doesn't have to play out tha way. >> [indiscernible] that's causing a huge reassuring . >> can do that for all the component parts. >> there is a lot that would have to happen to make it happe and forget to push for these vehicles, we gotta do production . he does not seems to be too happy. they're talking about all the different reqs about have--that

touch on religion and they say this abided administration show no sign of slaying slowing the war on religion perhaps because they have thus far gone unnoticed talk of a notice proposed rule makings. these proposals ought to spark they think it has to be placed in the context of the biting administration's relationship with the men and women of faith. this is an administration that did not use the word christian after six christians were kille in asheville. the doj has gone after 34 pro-life individuals many have been exonerated 81 attacks on pro-life facilities but only tw attackers are pursued. i know jim jordan is gonna be asking questions of chris wrigh on this matter. but these regulations on many women of faith i think must be placed to the broader question of that biting administration

views of men women you mentione jim jordan he and rector ray have gotten into this issue about whether catholics in january so there is this a back-and-forth and christopher wright has said we denounce the memo were investigating what happened but now they subpoenae him to get more information about how we got there. you're saying jim jordan really wield that chairmanship of the judiciary he's got the committe hearing tomorrow in new york as well. but right then that member he said it wasn't emblematic of th agency stands but the optics of it all. the optics of that the biting administration isn't fulfilling his promise to get all of americans i think that's was troublesome politically spirit when it comes to put issues up of religion attention t a special conversation about the
