fatalities per year and a third are caused by excessive speed. critics want him to slow down with what some call rampant pattern allism is bad. >> sacrificing a free society in the name of safety. of course safety is important but how far are we going to go to attain it? >> she is from the cato institute which advocates for constitutional freedoms. she says these devices will increase car prices and cause carmakers to leave california devastating the economy. sometimes she says cars need to accelerate to avoid an accident. but the ultimate consequence, she says, would be the erosion of the american sense of the individual liberty. >> we are radical individualists and believe in individual

freedom to make our own choices within reason and i don't think anybody who challenge a legitimate safety law but we don't want the state dictating every aspect of our everyday lives. >> critics say it could be dangerous on the road. it will hurt california economically, and it's an attack on our individual freedom. what do you say? >> this technology saves lives. it makes all of us safer. >> the problem some say is what you have to give up in order to feel safer. back to you. >> bill: no doubt about that. thank you, douglas, see where it goes. thank you here in new york. donald trump back inside another courtroom. this time in his new home state of florida. he is in that courtroom with regard to the classified documents case that is out of mar-a-lago in florida. the judge set to decide whether or not to delay this trial or stick to the original plan and potentially collide with a busy

political calendar. brand-new hour starts now. dana has the day off. she will be back on monday. >> martha: i'm martha maccallum. good morning. there is a lot of legal drama unfolding for the former president. later today a judge in georgia will hear the closing arguments finally in the misconduct hearing of d.a. fani willis. that case is hanging by a thread at this point. and questions now if the legal challenges piling up against the former president trump are merely political stunts to keep him from a second term. watch this? >> i have lost count of all the cases that involve everything from china bankrupt the man, to make time up in court are multiple federal indictments and state prosecutors getting in the mix. in essence it's like we've seen them unleash lawyers and prosecutors all designed to achieve one thing, prevent donald trump from being on the

ballot, having a chance to get elected. that has no precedent in american history. >> bill: follow the bouncing legal ball with us. steve harrigan is live in atlanta on a day of reckoning for fani willis. first let's start in fort pierce, florida on the trump legal saga. bring us up to speed. david. >> good morning to you both. we know that things start pretty much on time in federal court. this was supposed to kick off behind me at 10:00. no electronics in the courtroom. we can't be certain but we know the former president is in the courtroom right now and is inside the building right now. remember, the f.b.i. raided mar-a-lago in august of 2022. here we are march 1, 2024, waiting for a trial date. this is a complicated case with tens of thousands of pages of documents. we expect the former president donald trump to be in court most of the day with his attorneys. also potentially jack smith himself along with his legal

team. we have video of the former president arriving in his motorcade today here in fort pierce with some of his supporters outside. the big focus when will this go to trial? it is scheduled to begin here may 20th in florida. but it is likely this date will slide. one of two chief reasons, both sides want it to. special counsel jack smith as of yesterday proposed july 8th to be the new start date. trump's team they could settle on august 12th. another reason trump is claiming in both his federal prosecutions that he should be immune because he was president when the alleged crimes occurred. the supreme court has agreed to take up the presidential immunity issue in late april. meaning a start of a may 20th date nearly impossible. judge eileen cannon appointed by donald trump when he was president is proceeding over the case. she met two weeks ago to go over

concerns the government has about producing classified evidence to trump team. as of today, this is called a scheduled hearing. we should get some idea about what she is thinking when it comes to a trial, july 8th would mean a couple weeks later would be the republican national convention. so certainly we are tiktoking closer to the really height of election season and it's also possible that she could move this trial perhaps to west palm beach which is still in the southern district of florida. right now the former president is motorcading about 70 miles and he would have to do so every day that he wants to come up here. bill and martha. >> bill: keep us posted what's happening inside the courtroom. david spunt in fort pierce. >> martha: the every trial on everyone's minds in atlanta now. steve harrigan on what we could hear this afternoon during the closing arguments in fani willis's misconduct case. hi, steve. >> we're about three hours away

from those final arguments in this misconduct hearing. basically the judge will have to decide one main question. does he think that the d.a. fani willis and the prosecutor she hired nathan wade are lying about when their relationship began? did they lie under oath? so far defense attorneys have presented one eyewitness, colleague who said she saw them hugging and kissing long before they said they were in a relationship and also presented text messages from wade's former law partner, one exchange went as follows. do you think it started before she hired him? absolutely. the law partner responded. trying to present cell phone records from nathan wade. those records show in the one year before the two said they were an item that wade called willis an average of six times a day. messaged her 30 times a day before the two claimed under oath they were in a relationship. the judge is likely to decide

next week to do nothing, remove willis, wade or both of them from this case. martha, back to you. >> martha: thank you very much. >> bill: we know there is a camera in the courtroom in fulton county, georgia. there is no camera in fort pierce, florida. this is jack smith with the current trial date for eileen cannon, the judge on may 20th. late yesterday he proposed moving it to july 8th take you past the potential in the possibility for supreme court ruling on immunity. trump team responded said how about august 12th? regardless, this calendar is going to super impose itself with this calendar. around those same dates i talked about you have primaries in oregon and kentucky may 21. primary in new jersey on 4th of june and 4 1/2 months from now you have a republican convention for four days in milwaukee, wisconsin. i'm not saying it is going to

happen, but it is possible if these cases continue, that donald trump could be in a courtroom in the morning and he could fly to milwaukee to deliver an acceptance speech for the nomination that night. it is possible, right? >> martha: a lot of drama and it seems to be serving his members pretty well so far. with that we want to bring in "fox news sunday" anchor and chief legal correspondent shannon bream. great to have you with us. i want to pull up this full screen from the trump team. this is their statement. as the leading candidate in the 2024 election, president trump strongly asserts a fair trial cannot be conducted this year in a manner consistent with the constitution which affords president trump a sixth amendment right to be present and to participate in these proceedings. that comes from his team. so far he seems to be balancing both of these fairly well, shannon. >> gosh, that calendar that bill lays out i have to admit i

googled this morning what a private flight time is from the various locations in florida because if it runs up against what happens in july, yeah, how long would it take him to get to milwaukee and back? is it something he would do every night to show up on stage and be there? there are legal logistical issues that need to come together here. you are right. politically this stuff has been good for president trump. he told us a year ago if i'm indicted no way i'm dropping out. it will help me in the numbers. it helped him in polling and fundraising and again and again we see that. he is coming against real legal issues. criminal felony charges that have long jail terms connected to them. while he is trying to manage a presidential campaign he has to be aware of the personal risk to him and how that all plays out. he got a big win from the supreme court this win. not that he may ultimately win the case but the delay in the timeline is a big feather in the cap for lawyers as they try to schedule all these calendars.

>> bill: let's move up i-95 and over to i-75 several hundred miles into atlanta, georgia. that's where the action for our viewers will be this afternoon. they can watch it with us. this is the exchange the terrence bradley, the former lawyer for nathan wade. this was part of his appearance the other day on the stand when he could not recall a lot of things apparently. >> i do see that message but i do not recall. >> you don't recall texting this. >> i don't recall any specific dates. i didn't have a call. i don't recall how it came up. i can't recall what the conversation was. i don't recall that. at this time i don't recall, no, i don't recall. >> bill: we were talking last hour with brian robinson. closing arguments are this afternoon and we'll watch them together. do you know when the judge could issue a decision on this case as to whether or not fani willis stays on or is disqualified? >> he has indicated he would

need a little bit of time to work through all of this. remember how different this case is than it was just a couple of weeks ago when willis and wade took the stand with the same story, no the relationship did not start before she hired him. anything that happened during their relationship they split and she paid cash. they weren't giving the defense anything to work with at that point. since then we've heard from other witnesses, terrence bradley situation is a difficult one for them. the texts are there with ashley merchant, one of the attorneys for one of the trump co-defendants in the case when asked him if the relationship started before willis hired wade he said absolutely. now he is on the stand saying he doesn't recall these things and listen, that's the best advice as an attorney you will give your client when things don't look good. if they truly can't recall and don't know the states and times say you cannot recall. now that he is on the stand, these texts have been presented and the judge is seeing all of this, he has to take everything he is seeing openly and been

able to see in the courtroom and behind the scenes hearings and make a tough decision. even if he kicked both willis and wade off the case, it doesn't mean the case goes away. a win for the trump legal team if it's a major delay. >> martha: always good to see you. >> bill: we'll watch on sunday, too. you have rubio and others. we'll hear from both sides. thank you, shannon. google's woke a.i. bought now costing the company a lot of money in stock value. how deep does the bias go? how does google google it's way out of this one? >> martha: outrage in georgia after an illegal migrant was charged in the killing of a young nursing student. today the community mourns the loss of laken riley, 22 years old. how her family and friends are saying goodbye. >> bill: here in new york the democratic mayor adams caught in

she tried to make a 911 call in the middle of all of this. a horrific story. madison is in woodstock, georgia where the funeral will take place. >> good morning, martha. just a horrible tragedy indeed. riley's family and friends will tell you she was a passionate nursing student who cared for everyone that she met. this tragedy has shaken up a lot of people who live around uga. >> her family will never know peace and i think it's ridiculous for lack of a better word. >> riley's says she spread joy everywhere she went. the accused killer ibarra came into the u.s. illegally in 2022. riley's death has created a lot of controversy on immigration. the athens community and across the country. just a few days ago protestors

interrupted the athens mayor during a press conference on safety and immigration. the protestors were frustrated about how the city handles migrants but the mayor made it clear athens is not a sanctuary city. the protestors weren't having it and want the mayor to resign. former president donald trump was at the border yesterday and said he spoke with riley's devastated parents. >> she was beautiful, so beautiful in so many ways and brutally assaulted, horrifically beaten, kidnapped and savagely murdered. the monster that is charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant who was let into our country and released into our communities by crooked joe biden. he is crooked. >> riley's accused killer is in an athens jail and lawyers aren't asking for bond. unclear when he will be in court next. >> martha: thank you very much, madison.

>> i don't believe people who are violent in our city and commit repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city. if i had my way, if you are repeatedly committing crimes in our city. >> bill: the mayor in new york city eric adams under fire from his own party and everyone for proposing changes to the city's sanctuary policies to make it easier to deport migrants approved of crimes. he needs approval from the city council and refuses to take up any modifications. they told him yesterday to forget it and go pound sand. republican new york city councilwoman is with us now and good morning to you. here is the pickle is that when you are a migrant and you are in new york city and you get arrested for a crime, ice and the police department aren't

talking to each other, then the individual is released back onto the street with the opportunity to commit another crime. >> correct. >> the mayor knows this being a cop and the mayor knows if they make a mistake they could have a situation like we just watched in athens, georgia last week. >> we've had things like that happen in new york. this crime wave that we've been under since the illegal immigrants have started to flood our city, over 200,000 of them now. we've got a venezuelan gang mixing with ms-13. murder and beatdowns and stabbings close to murder are happening every day in this city. it wasn't until we saw what happened with our police officers a couple of weeks ago in times square that that went viral. now all of a sudden, you know, we need things to go viral for people to understand what's going on. this is every single day. the mayor has a point and a good

point. the fact that he wants to separate this part of the sanctuary city status by making these illegal immigrants that commit these heinous crimes, they must be -- come together with ice. ice has got to be brought back in. i don't care what anybody says or anybody wants to say or think, the only way this will get solved is if ice comes back to new york city and new york state. >> martha: there were a lot of people. aoc may have been among them wanting to disband ice all together. no relationship with ice. you can't call them otherwise you lose your ability to deport someone in the country. this is supposed to happen. council speaker adrien adams when asked about this issue of reopening the communication between ice and police in new york and somebody who breaks the law who they believe committed the crime in georgia and committed a crime in new york

first. >> we are not considering laws, changes to laws. these laws have been in effect for decades. it would be harmful to retract and go backwards instead of going forwards as far as the law is concerned. >> martha: what is she talking about and what can the mayor do? we have to get this through the council and he can't because of voices like that. >> we have seen this city council be so out of touch with reality it is infuriating. the idea that you can get up to a podium and make a broad statement like that knowing what is happening on the streets of your city. we represent as elected officials this city. you have got a job to do. and that is to back up the mayor at some point. nobody is supposed to agree on everything all the time but we are talking about violent criminals that they are illegal migrants and yet they want to refer to them still as asylum

seekers. these are not eye asylum seekers. these are people emptying out the venezuelan jails mixing with ms-13. my council needs to get it together and figure it out. enough is enough. there is no more excuses anymore. they are falling back on an old story. >> bill: the mayor has certain ability where he can step in here. he has emergency powers. >> correct. >> bill: he tried to do that a couple months ago and the comptroller said you can't spend that money. >> the mayor also hit vetoes. overruled by our city council. 586 for cops, 549 for corrections officers. this mayor is between a rock and a hard place. i will tell you what he can do. there is executive power that he can sign today if he wants to and he can do this sanctuary -- do away with this part of the

sanctuary city policy. he can reintroduce ice today if he wanted to. >> martha: why wouldn't he do that? >> i don't know. we have to ask mayor adams. i don't know that answer. >> bill: thank you for your time. you always light up the room, don't you? >> my facts are facts and that's what it is. >> bill: thank you for coming in. >> martha: trouble in the tech world today. elon musk is suing chat gpt. plus this. shutting down spring break in miami. how authorities will crack down to try to stop this kind of scene from happening again.

>> bill: musk suing open a.i. and founders for breach of con trot. he invested in the company because he was promised open ai was a nonprofit trying to develop artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. musk says the company is now only interested in making money. fox business's kelly o'grady has more on this. where is it going? >> i just dug into the lawsuit and let me break it down for you, musk is suing on the grounds open ai sam altman abandoned the nonprofit mission and owe him millions of dollars for donating under false promises. musk used his brands and connection and $44 million of his money to fund the efforts to develop a.i. for good. however, in 2019 open ai created a separate for-profit armed funded and partially owned by

microsoft. the key driver of the lawsuit. musk lawyers argue open a.i. has transformed into a subsidiary of the largest tech company in the world. it's not developing but refining a.i. to maximize profits for microsoft rather for the benefit of humanity. basic will i anyone could benefit from the company's discoveries. the most advanced products like chatgpt are closed off not from microsoft. others have these concerns. the suit follows a public firing of altman on accusations he was pursuing profit over safety. that nonprofit board was axed in a coup that restored him as ceo. musk looking to recoup that money. he was the chair of a nonprofit foundation. this wasn't a traditional investment with equity. he continued to donate through

2020. there are two ways of looking at this. musk is concerned about the direction a.i. is taking but has skin in the game. any trouble for open a.i. would help him. >> bill: i think it's been seven or eight years he started that. kelly o'grady. >> martha: more trouble in the world of a.i. over a we can since google paused the gemini program. the ceo apologized as the mistake cost the company billions in market value. hear to weigh in carley shimkus and tyrus, great to have both of you here with us. this is there the "wall street journal" editorial board. gemini's blunders, we have images to shoe, have reinforced

suspicions that google is against conservatives. complacency may have set in. competitors advance and google is paying for its mistakes. we've seen these images of founding fathers who were african-american when none of those individuals happened to be african-american. they've been basically geared to create diversity in these images but what they are doing is giving people things historically inaccurate. >> this is google gemini and paused it for all. google is incredibly biased. an example a few days ago. i searched the term black lives matter. how police mistreated the protestors and how they were peaceful. this will be a bigger issue with artificial intelligence if people consider it as an unbiased teaching tool. people will think a.i. is a machine. how could it be biased? you see what happened here is

that a.i. is designed by humans, which input their biases into the artificial intelligence. google apologized for the gemini issue. don't trust that apology for a second. they are apologizing because they got caught. what will happen is they'll become more subtle about this bias. >> bill: i wonder if google is big enough to overcome this. a year or two. i know duck duck go another internet search engine is already advertising in places like fox news and others. >> we need to bring back the encyclopedia. information with new opinions. you have to flip some pages but i'm doing it -- i'm looking. i installed a rotary phone last week. my kids trying to figure it out is one of the greatest joys of my life.

old school is the better way if you look for information because i've been saying this from day one. never been about a.i. but carl or josh like google welcomes the world of bud light. as a brother i like see a black george washington. i could be a george washington. i looked at it from the positive side. we have to be fair. not just against conservatives. >> that's great and we want to inspire people. >> my first grade report. >> martha: in your encyclopedia, he looked like this, right? >> i won't have at the bottom conspiracy theories telling me he possibly could be this picture. if we cut out all the stuff and just encyclopedia britannica, let's do it. >> we had the world book and i have images of pictures i was reading in that book when i

recall certain things like killing the abraham lincoln. >> bill: it was on a shelf in our house. i did a million book reports. never cut out a piece. no, we respected the book. a little bit of an -- she is going pro and we just want to mention that. this woman will change the game. hang with us, okay? caitlin clark broke the women's scoring record and declared for the wnba draft yesterday. i contend she is about to change the game for the wnba and women's basketball. >> she is the curry of women's basketball. shot, style. defense. she is a once in a lifetime type player and everyone is watching. she is bringing in people that

normally wouldn't watch. >> bill: somebody said she was larry bird with a bra. i don't think you can sigh that on air. she sees the floor like none other. what do you think of the inspiration for women? >> i think it is phenomenal and this is really the first time that i can remember a female basketball college star becoming major national news. this is something that can inspire girls. i remember the fantastic, magnificent seven in the olympics and how much i wanted to become a gymnast because of them. i'm a little too tall to ever attain that goal. i was doing it in my bedroom when i was a kid and somebody like caitlin clark can really inspire young girls to go a long way in a positive direction. >> opening doors for other young ladies in college. stars in lsu, usc is scoring and
