Is AI Destroying Music? A Country Star's Dire Warning

Artificial intelligence isn't just reshaping everyday life; it's also triggering a revolution in the music industry. Today, automated programs churn out millions of songs daily—capturing a massive share of music streams by generating tracks that borrow from real artists without permission or compensation. Armed with Big & Rich's new single "Hello AI," country music star John Rich joins us to expose the threat facing artists, explain why monetizing stolen AI tracks is no different than passing counterfeit money, and demand that Washington step in before human creators are priced out of their own craft. Before 9/11 redefined American national security, the warning signs were already there. Nearly a year prior to the September 11 attacks, al-Qaeda struck the USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 U.S. sailors and revealing critical vulnerabilities in force protection. As we mark 25 years since 9/11, retired Navy Commander Kirk Lippold—who was at the helm of the Cole during the attack—joins FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson to reflect on how that deadly day foreshadowed a quarter-century of the War on Terror and why the global threat remains far from over.
