that the president has been -- every legislation that he's been able to get passed. that it does not leave anybody behind. it invests in communities like rolling fork, invests in making sure that we're creating good paying jobs. that's what you're going to hear as we talk about the invest in america tour. that's what you'll hear from our secretaries across the administration who are travelling this week and the next three weeks. that's what you'll hear from the president, the vice president, the first lady. we're going to make it clear, this is how we're going to invest in america and communities like rolling fork. also, it makes it so important -- think about the inflation reduction act and fighting climate change. that is one of the most -- the biggest -- so historic, right? because it does the most piece of legislation now law to fight climate change. so this is something that we're going to continue to fight for and continue to work towards as we move forward in this

administration. >> kentucky, the kentucky legislature overrode the governor's veto, a bill that restricts aspects of trans youth, gender affirming care and the use of bathrooms. i know the white house released a proclamation for trans day on visibility. there's a march happening tomorrow to commemorate this day, also to protest these types of bills that are continuing to be passed in advanced in legislatures across the country. what is the white house's message to these lawmakers that are passing these bills and those taking to the streets to protest them. >> we support peaceful protest. we think it's important for americans and people just across the country to make their voices heard just as long as its faceful. we've been very clear about

these anti-lgbtq bills in legislatures across the country, the anti-trans bills as they attack trans kids, attack trans parents. it's shameful. it's unacceptable. as you mentioned, tomorrow's trans visibility day on a day that we should be lifting up our trans kids, trans youth and making sure that they feel seen. we're seeing more and more of these hateful, hateful bills. that's what republicans want to spend their time on. they don't want to talk about lowering costs or talk about actually making american lives better. they want to take away people's freedoms. one of the things we saw during the mid-terms, people don't want their freedoms to be taken. they want to us fight for their freedoms. it's shameful, it's disturbing and our hearts go out to the trans community as they're under attack right now. this is a president who has said many times before, he has their backs, and he will continue to

have their backs and he will continue to fight for them. his record shows that. >> thanks. does the president plan on vetoing the house bill that would overturn d.c.'s police reform law? >> so that is something that he is planning to do. as i mentioned -- i mentioned many times before that i think a couple weeks ago i mentioned he was looking at it. the president believes that building community trust is integral to fighting crime. that is something that you've heard him say. the president says he believes we should fund police and give law enforcement what they need for accountable policing. while he does not support every provision in the d.c. policing bill, he will not support congressional republicans efforts to overturn common sense police reforms like banning

choke holds, limiting use of force and deadly force, requiring the timely release of bodily worn camera footage and requiring officer training on deescalation and use of force. congress should respect d.c.'s rights to pass measures that improve public safety and public trust and the president will veto this resolution if it does reach his desk. >> you said he doesn't support all of the provisions in the bill. the police unions are saying this would strip their ability to collectively bargain around disciplinary hearings. >> i don't have the specifics to share with you at this time. look, the president has been clear that he believes this is integral for trust. trust should be at the center of this as we talk about police reform. he doesn't a green with every provision. if it comes to his desk, he will veto. >> thanks, karine.

earlier, you mentioned in your opening statements, the republicans are not taking action when it comes to gun violence. we talked to senator blackburn. we got an e-mail saying she's introducing the safe school act with the other tennessee senator. the bill establishes a $900 million grant program to allow public and private schools to train and hire veterans and former law enforcement officers to protect schools. does the administration have a stance on that? >> i'm going to be very clear here. the president has said over and over again, look -- i'm going to step back further. we've done two dozen executive orders in the past two years, this president has, to do everything that he can to protect communities and our kids. as we know, we can't do it alone. the president is limited on this. we need congress to act. the things that we know are very popular that will actually assist or help prevent gun

violence is one of them is banning assault weapons. right? that we know for a fact. when it wasn't done in 1994 for those ten years, gun violence went down. when that law sunset, it rose back up again. so we know what works. that's why we've been calling -- the president has been calling for the assault weapons ban, this is something that republicans won't move on. it's not just that. there's other common sense gun laws reform. requiring background checks, requiring safe storage of gun, eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers that put weapons of war on the streets. these are weapons of war. they shouldn't be in communities, schools or streets. that's what we're calling for. we're calling for real solutions here that we actually know work and majority of americans support. >> but is more funding for security guards a solution that you'd consider?

>> the president signed the safer communities act, right? this summer. a bipartisan piece of legislation. even when we celebrated signing -- when the president celebrated signing that into law, he said we need to build on that and do more. so yes, we need to do more. we know what needs to happen. banning assault weapons is one of the clearest ways -- that's what the data shows us -- that we can get weapons of war off of the streets. that's what we're asking for. >> you just said the majority of americans support banning -- >> martha: we're going to keep a close eye on this. peter doocy is in the front row there. when he's about to ask his question, we'll take you there. the white house was asked what is the procedure for getting this american journalist for the "wall street journal" out of russia after he was wrongfully

detained. there he is in this image. he was he's in the hood, in the mustard colored hood bent over. this is absolutely shocking story. the answer to this should be relatively easy. we want him back immediately. karine jean-pierre was asked about this. she said we really can't talk about whether he was wrongfully detained. although she said it was ridiculous to accuse of of espionage. what is going on here? he was reportedly taken from a restaurant and brought to this russian facility, this russian building. is now being held in russia. we're going to talk a lot about this today obviously. nikki haley, the former ambassador is here. what does this mean for u.s.-russian relations. it's been a very long time since a brazen act like this was undertaken against an american journalist. this ratchets things up in some ways. we need to discuss it.

we'll do that. also breaking today, in the face of a potential grand jury indictment, president trump doubles his lead over his potential opponent, governor ron desantis of florida among gop voters. those are the latest numbers from february till now. he went from 43 to 54, the former president. you can see desantis' numbers at 24 falling back a bit. very early in the going here, folks. we watch this. we keep a close eye on it. as i said, we will talk to nikki haley, who is also on the list as a contender for the republican nomination. she is here coming up shortly. first lee carter, and robert wolf, former economic adviser to president obama and fox news contributor. great to have you both here. read a long piece in the nash name review sort of warning everyone to look at these numbers with an enormous grain of salt. it's very early.

that being said, lee, when you look at those numbers and you see movement over the past month or so strengthening for the former president, he's been putting out videos on policy issues. he had a big roll-out waco, texas over the weekend what is moving these numbers? >> i think a couple of things are moving the numbers. there's weakness in ron desantis. so his support, only about 50% of his supporters are certain of where they're going. trump support is much stronger, this is a game of addition. desantis had wobbles around the ukraine. a lot of people say didn't donald trump have the same kind of weakness around the ukraine? they don't like that he was wobbly on it. he said look, this wouldn't have happened if it were me. the other thing is important, donald trump has owned the narrative. 93% of republicans think that the prosecution against him is politically motivated. so they're more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt.

he got out in front of it, owned the narrative. he's a smart politician whether you like him or not. more people are going to give him the benefit of the doubt. >> martha: he has been hammering desantis. we've seen this before. it sort of classic trump political rhetoric. he's going after him on everything that he can. it has worked for him in the past. i wonder if you agree with joy behar. you're usually close in the same thinking. >> never watched it. >> martha: i'm kidding. here's what she said. watch. >> trump is the one who needs to get the nomination because these the democrats will win. he's a two-time loser already. >> isn't there a risk? >> martha: do you agree? that democrats hope it will be trump. >> never underestimate donald trump. you'll be kidding yourself. he owns the narrative right now and he's not even the president. 24/7, it's trump, trump, trump. there's a couple of things that i want to see that lee brought up. trump has hammered him on

medicare and social security cuts. that is where 8 a% of the country is on the other side of desantis. so he's really hitting him where -- we're reading and medicare and social security every day. the other part on ambassador haley, she hammered him on using ukraine and russia. it's a territorial fight. absolutely not. he had to -- he tried to walk that back and he failed walking it back. so i think on two real things he's lost. then listen, he's taking it on the chin. as you said, trump is hitting him every day. he's not doing a thing about it. i think it's -- it feels like he has a glass chin. >> martha: he did punch back with piers morgan on the issues of character and chaos, which seems to be the logical place for him to go. you know, to sort of say look, you can get the policies that you had with president trump but we're going to do it in a different way. >> seems the logical place to

go. the problem that ron desantis has, he's not figured out how to navigate the incoming from donald trump. nobody has done that. when you're head-to-head with donald trump, you can't ignore it. you can't dodge it. you have to come back swinging or do something different. the way he responded to piers morgan in that interview made him seem weak. yeah, it's funny the name. i like the number. he didn't come back with anything stronger. the people want ron desantis to be a fighter for them. he doesn't seem like a fighter. >> martha: it's a tough spot. the president, the former president, has, you know, 29, 30% of the republican vote. a large percentage of voters that say that they would want him back. we just showed the numbers. so you don't want to alienate all of those folks by coming after him. it's a sticky wicket. more to come. thanks, guys. great to see you both, robert wolf and lee carter. thanks for being here.

the white house condemning russia's arrest of "wall street journal" ist reporter evan gershkovich calling the targeting of american citizens unacceptable. was the long strong enough? we'll ask nikki haley live from new york on russia's latest act of bold aggression against the u.s. what should we do now? >> this espionage charge is ridiculous. the targeting of american citizens by russian government is unacceptable. important part of my life. i have flinn and a new puppy. as i was writing, i found that i just wasn't as sharp and i new i needed to do something so i started taking prevagen. i realized that i was much more clear and i was remembering the details that i was supposed to. prevagen keeps my brain working right. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

>> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. my customer really relies on his car's advanced safety system. [alarm] >> instructor: veer right.

yeah! work it girl! woo! i want to hear you say it out loud. well, i could switch us to xfinity. those smiles. that's why i do what i do. that and the paycheck. >> martha: all right. very interesting watching all of this at the white house today. this really chilling video. this is the russian law enforcement making a u.s.

reporter for the "wall street journal," evan gershkovich, guiding him, pushing him, however you want to say it, in to this vehicle and being swept away to some sort of holding facility. they have detained him for espionage. the "wall street journal" says that's essentially a garbage charge. we know the last piece that he wrote was entitled "russia's economy is starting to come undone." no doubt vladimir putin doesn't like articles like that. the u.s. embassy is engaged with moscow to get access to gershkovich. he's the first american journalist that this has happened to since the cold war in more than 40 years. the white house said this about this very dire situation. watch. >> i want to strongly reiterate

that americans should heed the u.s. government's warning to not travel to russia. u.s. citizens residing or traveling in russia should depart immediately as the state department continues to advise. >> that was the second part of what she said. the first part is the russians do this all the time. we see this from them. then seemed to have a hard time definitively stating that he was wrongfully detained. so we're very glad today to have with us nikki haley, 2024 president presidential candidate. first, let's go to greg palkot with the latest. >> good afternoon. we've had breaking developments from russia all day. another american life in the balance. authorities there say reporter for our sister newspaper, the "wall street journal," evan gershkovich was arrested by the fsb intelligence agency, the old

kgb and charged with spying. they say that gershkovich is suspected of espionage. he collected information constituted a state secret of one of the activities of the russian military industrial complex. the journal was quick to reply. the "wall street journal" denies the statement and says the allegations from the fsb seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, evan gershkovich. we stand in solidarity with evan and his family. he was nabbed 900 miles east of moscow where he was working on a strong story. he was brought back to the russian capitol and pled not guilty. he was taken away to pretrial detention, maybe as much as two months. this creates higher tensions with the u.s. and russia. gershkovich is the first american journalist to be arrested on espionage charges in russia since the cold war.

he faces up to 20 years in jail. we heard yes, from the white house spokesperson, the white house added the espionage charges are ridiculous. the far getting of american citizens is unacceptable. condemning the detention of the strongest terms. yes, the fact remains that another american caught in russia. martha? >> martha: thanks, greg. with that, we bring in nikki haley, 2024 presidential candidate, former u.n. ambassador and governor to south carolina. how would you respond in this situation? >> well, if you go and trade the merchant of death for an american, guess what? they're going to take more americans, this comes from the weakness of the biden administration. putin should be scared to do this. he's not. he's getting really desperate. we know he's getting drones from iran, missiles from north korea. they're running out of the money. the sanctions are setting in. he's getting desperate.

this is what he starts to do. this is a reminder to the american people, whenever you doubt whether ukraine needs to win, look at this mafia-type dictator who basically does not value he man life and does not value freedom, this is another example of that. >> martha: in terms of the process, you know, what happens now, what kind of language do you think is appropriate from the white house about discussing what is going on here in no uncertain terms? >> first of all, they should let them know they're not allowed to wrongfully detain any american that we believe he's being wrongfully detained. we should call them out on that. we should not in any way wait for a trial, wait for anything else. we need to call them out and say we know he's wrongfully detained. you need to fix this now. if that means more sanctions, we squeeze them more, we do that. they have americans there. they need to get them back. when they get the merchant of

death, the one person that they wanted, guess what? there's more that they want. that's what the he's going after. this is his way of getting attention again. this is his way of distracting from the fact that they're losing the ukrainian war. we'll see more of it. now he had china show up and president xi show up and shake his hand and talk about how they're going to change the world order for the first time in 100 years and they're going to do it together? this is how they're going to do it. >> martha: it's interesting that you bring up the unstable position that putin finds himself in economically at home and so many people that have been recruited and pulled in to fight this war. many of whom we saw trying to escape and get out. clearly evan gershkovich was writing about the economy in russia and how weak it is, which is a message that putin doesn't want to get around. the candidates for the republican nomination have different takes on the ukrainian situation. former president trump went

after ron desantis saying it's not smart to treat russia and putin as inferior. why this sound bite. i want your reaction to this. >> mitt romney and ron desantis, very much alike, who insist on arrogantly treating russia as deeply inferior to the other nations of the world, with no history or culture or pride are not only ignorant and foolish, but their attitude makes it impossible to negotiate peace. absolutely impossible. >> martha: the former president said it was a savvy move to move in to ukraine on putin's part. he said that at one point. what do you say to the former president about this statement? >> this is a dictator and a thug. there wasn't anything savvy about it. this was just a malicious move to go take over a freedom-loving country. that is why it's so important for us to remember that we have to defend ukraine, this is a war for freedom. this is one where the dictators

and the thugs are trying to move in and take away all freedom-loving countries that toesn't mean we put money in ukraine or troops on the ground in ukraine. we need to make sure that they have the equipment and ammunition to win. you're with putin and xi or you're with freedom-loving countries. i'm telling you, this is not the time to get weak in the knees on russia. this is the time we give to it them strong, give it to them hard and do it with sanctions and make sure that ukraine has equipment. we make sure we hold our allies together. if we win, this it sends a mess sink to china and to iran that wants to build a bomb and message to north korea who is testing ballistic missiles. >> martha: what is a win? what does it look like? >> look, it's easy. if russia gets out -- >> martha: all the way? >> if russia gets out, they're back to a freedom loving country. if they get away with it, they'll keep doing more and more. this is like if somebody took

texas. we wouldn't be okay with that. obama should have dealt with this in the beginning. he didn't do it. you have to make sure but didn't doesn't get a win in this. he's said poland and the baltics are next and then we're looking at a world war. >> martha: thanks, nikki haley. republican candidate for presidency. thanks to have you here. also breaking right now, new reaction from the pentagon on a horrific military tragedy today in kentucky. the loss of nine u.s. service members. they were members of the storied 101st airborne division. a very important division, too. our military with deep history in this country. they did a routine training mission when they lost their lives. obviously we are all heart broken about this story today. c.b. cotton live in fort campbell, kentucky with the

details. hi, c.b. >> hi, martha. yeah, people here in kentucky today are grieving this loss. as you mentioned, nine members at the 101st airborne division a very prestigious division, tragically killed here at home. we know this crash happened on the kentucky, tennessee border, 30 miles from the base. four soldiers were in one helicopter, five in the other. they were there to practice a multi-ship formation using night vision goggles. they were running medical evacuation drills. the commander of the 101,airborne said it appears the crash happened around 10:00 p.m. after they finished exercises, a team of experts will review the crash site and recover the flight data recorders, this could reveal why this tragedy happened. the governor of kentucky and tennessee say they stand ready to help the families. >> i talked to governor bill lee

who expressed his grief and loss of commitment to these families. there's no state lines when it comes to taking care of thinks families and helping them with their grief. >> now, this news comes after two national guards american were killed in a blackhawk crash in huntsville, alabama a little more than a month ago. another incident that happened in february of 2022 with two blackhawk helicopters. that time, those helicopters, they were damaged, but thankfully no service members were injured or killed. today pentagon press secretary pat ryder was pressed, but why these sorts of incidents keep happening, listen to what he had to say. >> every single investigation is intended to help us learn from that, to prevent future accidents from happening. unfortunately a lot of what we do is dangerous. so, you know, this is something that we're always going to

constantly be working at. >> family members of this most recent tragedy here in kentucky, they're still being notified today. martha? >> martha: awful. thanks very much. c.b. cotton in kentucky. so we have just obtained a new 911 call from the nashville christian school shooting. it is a chilling audio of reports of shots fired inside. that is after this. stay with us. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer,

>> martha: new audio of 911 calls that were made inside the nashville christian school where three children and three adults were murdered monday morning. jonathan serrie with the very latest on this awful story from atlanta. hi, jonathan. >> some of the calls are very disturbing to listen to. an important story to tell. nashville authorities this

afternoon releasing those 911 calls coming from inside and outside the covenant school as an active shooter opened fire. take a listen. >> okay. how many shots have you heard? >> a lot. a lot of shots. >> if you had to guess, 20, 50, 100? >> i don't know. i heard about ten and i left the building. >> another call you hear comes from a teacher hiding in a closet in the art room where she describes hearing gun fire. three 9-year-old students and three staff died in the attack responding to the 911 calls. police went in to the school and shot the active shooter who they have identified as a 28-year-old former student. today parents and community members gathered at the tennessee capitol to demand a ban on assault rifles. the new calls for gun control as republicans look to further relax restrictions on firearms and that includes a reduction in

the minimum age for carrying a handgun in public from 21 to 18. martha, back to you. >> martha: jonathan, thank you very much. and now a live look in utah where closing arguments are now paltrow's ski collision trial. a retired doctor is accuf knock on the slopes in deer valley, utah leaving him with what he shes is a permanent brain injury. attorneys say it has nothing to do with celebrity. >> just after money and fame. somehow going through all of this, spenting all the money he spent on experts, you know, he's doing it for fame? give me a break. >> gwyneth paltrow says the truth in her mind is that he ran into her. he says at first she was thought -- she thought she was being assaulted. the latest from jeff paul.

hi, jeff. >> yeah, martha. closing arguments are wrapping up right now. then it will be in the hands of the jury. just prior to in last day in court, listen to how paltrow's lawyers grilled terry sanderson over his extravagant travel after the you're after he said a brain injury changed his life friend. >> did you go to peru? >> yes. >> this is after the right? >> yes. >> visit machu picchu? >> yes.t is in peru. >> yes. >> floated down th, i guess so. >> sanderson says the travel was part of the healing process and. he's adamant the collision was paltrow's fault. her lawyers, however, continue to push their two pronged defense that paltrow isn't to blame and that sanderson's injuries are not as significant

as he's saying the at one point, sanderson has asked if he regretted bringing the lawsuit up in the first place. >> well, that's the purpose. to make me regret this lawsuit. it's the pain of trying to sue a celebrity. it's very difficult. >> as soon as these closing arguments wrap up, the jury of eight in utah will start their deliberations. sanderson is suing for $300,000. meanwhile, paltrow is counter suing for a symbolic $1 plus attorney fees. >> jeff, thanks very much. jonna spillbor joins me. i watched a lot of, this i was getting into youtube and watching what's going on here. i want to play the animation that the paltrow said put forth. watch this very closely. there's no audio on it. i can give you the play by play. you can see sanderson and paltrow coming down.

then you can see boom. okay? that shows in the lower left-hand side him coming behind her and she falls on top of him. but it looks like he skis in to her, jonna. how is this going? >> to be white honest, i think paltrow has the stronger case. she was a great witness. you can tell she's a good actress. she's a great witness. the medical experts and the other experts were strong in her case. they said look, what happened to her is consistent with the physics. in other words, what she said happened is physically possible. what he said happened couldn't possibly happen the way he said it did. so when you think about how a good of a job her attorney did with really making the plaintiff, terry sanderson look like a liar with his own words

and his own story. i think if anybody is going to prevail, it's her. keep in mind, they both could lose. but they both cannot win with this comparative negligence statue in utah. >> martha: the jury could say you're both at fault? >> yeah, they can say we can't tell. they have two opposite viewpoints. she said he hit her and he said the opposite. if they can't decide, you don't get to the money part. personal injury is about liability, who is at fault. even if gwyneth paltrow wins, they don't have to think about the money. she's suing for a buck. >> this is her on friday describing what her first reaction was when she realized that she was in contact with this other skier. watch. >> i was skiing. two skis came between my skis forcing my legs apart. there was a body pressing

against me and a very strange grunting noise. my brain was trying to make sense of what was happening. i thought am i -- is this a practical joke? is someone doing something perverted? this is really strange. >> martha: how do you think that goes with the jury? >> you know, that was a little bit of a misstep for her. it seems implausible. if somebody is going to sexually assault someone, they're not doing it 20 miles an hour down a ski slope. the fact is she came from behind, knocked her over. that's another interesting thing. she's the size of a straw. she was not injured. she needed a massage. he suffered traumatic brain injury and four broken ribs. it's very inconsistent. will maybe make the jury discount or disbelieve the traumatic brain injury portion of this program. >> martha: when you watch -- you

can play the animation one more time, guys. regardless, even if he hit her first, she lands on him. he hits the ground. so it's probably the ground that would have likely injured him in this case. there they go down. i want to play this last sound bite. this goes to the celebrity element of this where she says look, you know, it was not -- i also paid the price for this. watch. >> he has deterred you from enjoying the rest of what was a very expensive vacation. >> well, i lost half a day of skiing. >> nobody wants to lose a half a day of skiing. >> all she needed to say is i'm suing for $1. leave it at that. she walked in with her $65,000 necklace and $250 notebook. she will be selling a line of those -- >> martha: there's quite a bit of attention with what she was wearing in court.

a lot of analysis of the boots and the outfit and all of it. thanks, jonna. good to see you. the white house is now responding to peter doocy after top tech pioneers including elon musk, call the pause for -- call to pause the ai race, artificial intelligence. this is very frightening stuff, folks. these guys are smart. they're saying we're at a point where computers and robots could outsmart human beings. even take out civilization. so i don't know about you, but that makes me sit up and pay attention. gerri willis and lydia hu next. >> is president biden worried that artificial intelligence could become self-aware? >> look, we're, again, there's a comprehensive process. we're taking this very serious. we put our blueprint out back in october. i don't want to get ahead of our findings and what that will look

>> martha: why got new reaction from the white house after elon musk and dozens of tech innovators, the smartest people in this whole space came up with a strong warning that artificial intelligence and the people doing experiments are with it are fearing it's advancing too rad -- rapidly and we have to slow it down before it does away with us. that's not me. that's the language of this very strongly-worded piece. gerri willis and lydia hu from fox business are here. first to peter doocy at the white house. he just asked a question of

karine jean-pierre about this. high, peter. >> we learned that they do have the policy, folks, the tech policy folks here at the white house looking at this letter with elon musk and 900 plus other tech leaders. they're calling for a six-month pause on the a.i. development. worried it's outpacing human abilities. there's an expert and more on foxnews.com. he has a worse warning ant this. that's what i brought to the briefing room. >> there's an expert from the machine intelligence research institute says if there's not an indefinite pause on ai development, everyone on earth will die. would you agree that does not sound good? >> your delivery, peter is quite something. >> it sounds crazy, but is it?

>> all i can say is there's a comprehensive process in place. we put out a blueprint in october. i don't have anything to share. >> so this is something that this white house has not been confronted with yet. as they spend part of the briefing talking about how the covid emergency is ending, we're seeing this new -- the new growing warnings about ai and the bad that could come from it. martha? >> absolutely. thank you, peter. thanks for asking that important question. let's bring in gerri willis and lydia hu who have been covering this. i want to read a larger chunk of this to butt it in context. this piece was written today in "time." he leads research at the machine intelligence research institute, considered one of the founders of ai. he says we're not going to bridge the gap -- he said we don't need to just talk about

it. we need to shut it down globally. here's why. he says it took more than 60 years between when the notion of artificial intelligence was notioned and study. solving safety of super human intelligence could take at least half that long. the thing about trying this with super human intelligence is that if you get it wrong on the first try, you don't learn from your mistakes because you're dead. it does sound funny. alice is laughing on the set. is this funny or is this deadly? lydia? >> you know, we have at the business network talked to many experts on this. no one has raised the concern that it's going to kill us off. they have raised more concerns that it will replace us in the job market and that's a very real concern. in asking about why the fear, it's because this is new.

not understood. we're kind of at this precipice of a big change. we do have this very bold call for a pause for six months. the other side of that is we would have to have global agreement to pause. otherwise, our competitors out there -- >> china won't pause while we pause. >> exactly. we're in a race with artificial intelligence. >> martha: and we talked to a man from google. he left the world to call it out from what he thought was damaging to young people in term of social media. he has his hair on fire about this. we can laugh because we don't really understand it. >> that's right. that's part of the problem in my view. congress doesn't understand it, a lot of leaders don't get it. what it is changing every day. my fear is not that robots are going to run humans. my fear is scammers and terrorists will use it, which could cause real problems.

i have to say, a lot of people are going to loser that jobs. when we first started talking about this a lot of people are like yeah, it's entry level people. don't have to worry. no, no, no. it's white collar, it's lawyers, it's marketers. a lot of people could lose their job. you think about what is going on in this country right now. we're coming into a recession. all of these companies feel like they have to save money what are they going to do? you can buy the stuff off the shelf to replace your workers. >> martha: i remember the panic over y2k, for example. i remember the panic over dolly the sheep. >> yep. >> martha: every up with was going to be cloned. some of that hysteria reminds of what we're hearing right now. but seeing what it can do with your voice. if it has three second of your voice, can it create entire conversations of you saying things. think about that for world leaders.

for basically bending reality through massive overtaken of social media. >> scammers are already doing that, right? scammers are doing that and extorting money out of parents. they make a call that sounds like your daughter and son and parents pony up. >> that's the debate happening right now. while scammers can use it, maybe there's other folks saying maybe this is a tool that can be leveraged. maybe we can be far more productive, a study that came out from goldman sachs that took a look at this. yes, it did conclude that about 7% of jobs in the u.s. will be replaced by artificial intelligence by automation and concluded that the world's gdp will increase by roughly 7% the next ten years. so they're saying there's basically going to be a re-alignment of how we use our workers. one gentleman i spoke with today said that he believes it's incumbent upon business leaders to retrain and reorient the work

force to make sure that the white collar workers that will be benefitted by artificial intelligence are ready to then redeploy that extra time that they have. maybe using things like voice clones to send out messaging to masses. >> martha: there's not enough humans handling things. you have to go through robots on the phone. i like more human interaction in the world. less cell phones, less social me media, all of it. we need to wrap our brains around it. thanks for helping us today. we're going to keep digging in until we figure it out. florida governor ron desantis is speaking now in georgia. he's talking about florida's blueprint, which is what he sees, something that could work across the country. let's listen in. >> biden against his catch and

release policy, a federal judge in the panhandle says it's unconstitutional what he's doing. that's good. we do in florida do have our own borders. we have people that will come from haiti, from cuba, little boats. they will try to come to the florida keys mostly. now, the coast guard is out there working to interdict. the problem is the coast guard doesn't have enough resources and pie -- biden won't give them more resources, a couple months ago, they dumped 300 aliens in the florida keys. that's a lot of people. i declare add state of emergency. i surged state resources so we have our boats, we're out there patrolling, stopping people. turning them over to the coast guard and they're bringing them back. we've done 11,000 repatriations of illegals back to haiti and back to cuba. [applause] you don't have a lot of people

that really -- i care about it. some of our people in florida care about it. the media doesn't care about it. they don't care about the border. they only care when 50 illegals show up in martha's vineyard. that's the only time's seen them care. [applause] and the thing is, martha's vineyard claimed that they were a sanctuary jurisdiction. they had an office in their little downtown that said nobody is illegal. all are welcome here. . we'll be the refuge. that was virtual signals. you had 50 that came. what did they do? did they honor their commitment? no. they called out the military to deport them off of their island. can you imagine in a republican

jurisdiction tried to do that? but they didn't want to deal with it. so you have these very poor border towns, have tens of thousands of people running through, causing all sorts of havoc and the elites that support open borders could care less. the minute that that problem is brought to their door step, then all of a sudden it's too big of a burden for them to handle. one of the wealthiest enclaves in america can't even handle 50 people coming? give me a break. so when we did that, i think we really exposed what is going on here. the left wants to impose their ideology on our country as long as they don't have to suffer any of the consequences. they want you to suffer the consequences. they want understand to suffer the consequences. [applause] >> i think that we've talked a lot, but i think we need to get serious and finally build a wall along the southern border.

it needs to be done. here's what i can offer president biden. so we had in florida at the end of september, you saw a major hurricane hit southwest florida and rip through our state, hurricane ian. it did a lot of damage. one of the things it did is it ripped up a bridge going from the mainland to pine island and then it ripped up the sanibel cause way in three didn't areas. those are not state bridges, they're not state roads. it's a local issue. but the residents were being told it was going to take six months to have access to these ideas. if that would have happened, the island would have died. no way you could have done it with boats. so they came to me and said, governor, can you help us? i'm like yeah, i'll take it over. i got my people together and i said listen, i don't want any red tape, i don't want any

bureaucracy -- >> martha: we know that the governor of florida has said that he thinks his blueprint would work in other places in the country. we're keeping an eye on this. that's the story for this thursday. the story goes on. we'll see you back here tomorrow. >> neil: well, it has happened again. a burlington northern santa fe trail derails outside minneapolis. the town of raymond about eight weeks to the day a norfolk southern train did the same thing in east palestine, ohio. huge flames and fears of hazardous gasses. 22 cars coming off the tracks and some residents in ohio then, well, going off the rails now. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. it has happened again. a lot of peopl
