chuck schumer is also spear heading democrats efforts to build guardrails for artificial intelligence. but there s pressure, sandra, to act fast before this technology spirals out of control. sandra: and it s happening fast. thanks, grady. john, while the american public tries to wrap their mind around what it is and what it means to them. john: a.i. will never eliminate the human race. they need us as batteries. sandra: there you go. i m sandra smith, i m john roberts. the story starts right now. martha: i m with john on that one. we have big stories developing on this monday afternoon. three very big names. trump, desantis and musk. as americans look to the future, the former president and the current governor of florida taking the gloves off in some big ads that hit your screens
you. but since the president is now a registered voter in florida and desantis knows he won t have that support. so endorsements matter. let s see how much they matter. what is amazing is that the endorsements for president trump are not universal. that s to say he doesn t have every florida legislator. he doesn t even have today they put out the tennessee senators and three of the state republican congress members endorsed trump. there s several others that didn t. so you think the former president would sort of reap almost universal approval from elected office holders but apparently not. it s helpful for them to do it. it s not a show of strength. and desantis got to find a more happy way to sort of dismiss those kind of things. because they are going to ask him political questions an t nonpolitical events. martha: there s some donors that say they will stay on a the sidelines for awhile.
there was a lot of early money going in to the desantis camp. now they re watching it more closely as they see the polls come in. what do you say to those that look at the florida go soon as the person that could beat the former president who say oh, he needs to get in now. he needs to get more aggressive. he can t be on the sidelines at this point. he has to get in. i disagree. governor george w. bush of texas filed an exploratory committee in march. made no statements about the potential run until he entered the race in june. that was preinternet. that was presocial media. that was pre how campaigns have been sped up by the new technology available for them. and governor desantis is being wise. his legislative session has gone more. after that, he ought to get in
thanks, madison alworth in new york city today. oh, all right, folks. the trump desantis feud will ultimately leave one man standing and it s possible it s not either one of those men in the battle for the republican nomination. we ll talk about that. and bud light s parent company brews up new controversy. karl rove and clay travis after this. veteran homeowners. if you need cash, the last thing you want to do is spend cash just to see if you qualify for a home loan. yet, some lenders charge you hundreds of dollars in upfront fees just to apply. they keep your money even if they turn you down. call newday. unlike other lenders, at newday there s no upfront appraisal fee, no upfront termite inspection fee and no upfront water test fee. not $1 out of pocket. give us a call.
at a time of his choosing. because donald trump got in the race last year means that everybody else needs to get in the race early this year, that is not the way that the world works, for need it work that way. martha: let s talk about president biden. we saw the comment that he made. he was a little bit testy, i guess. he keeps getting asked when he s going to get in. there s some suggesten that he might make a low key announcement april 25, the same day he launched his last election campaign. and the heat that he s getting for not talking to the press. let s put this screen up. obviously he has the bully pulpit. when he hasn t announced he s running, he has a real opportunity to speak out as. but he s not taking advantage of it often when you take a look at the numbers. what do you make of it? well, first of all, again, he doesn t need to get in now. but like desantis, he ought to come up with a better way to
