hello, everyone. i'm kate snow. zinhle essamuah is off today. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today monday, march 4th, 2024. breaking news. ruling reversed.

former donald trump won't be removed from colorado's primary ballot. how the former president is reacting. digging out. the winter weather misery in northern california not quite over yet, after a blizzard that dumped feet of snow, we're now tracking another system moving in. drawing the line. the controversial new immigration law in texas poised to go into full effect, how it would be enforced and the potential that it could be blocked again. and where is flight 370? ten years after a malaysia airlines plane seemed to vanish in thin air the new push to try and find answers once and for all. welcome, everyone. we begin this hour with that breaking news, the significant election ruling out of the supreme court. in annan decision, the justices ruled states cannot remove former president donald trump from the ballot, the high court overturning a ruling from colorado's supreme court. colorado had ruled mr. trump was ineligible under section 3 of

the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution known as the insurrection clause, the ruling was based on his role leading up to the january 6th capitol attack, however the u.s. supreme court's decision today says, quote, because the constitution makes congress rather than the states responsible for enforcing section 3 against federal office holders and candidates we reverse that lower decision, the former president praised the ruling earlier today. let's get right to garrett haake he covers the trump campaign, he's in west palm beach, florida. and danny cevallos. garrett, the supreme court's ruling come before super tuesday, what else are we hearing from the former president and his campaign. >> reporter: yeah, the court wanted to clear this out before voters in these states, colorado and maine, they wanted to have this kind of out of the way.

donald trump thanked the court and sort of congratulated them. he also learned the opportunity for the court's decision to lump all of the legal cases both criminal and civil into the one big category he likes to talk about, election interference. arguing without much evidence the tone, all efforts by president joe biden and doj to defeat him by law. more to point, he pushed ahead to the next question, the question of presidential immunity. that question has frozen the two federal cases against him particularly the federal case in d.c. related to january 6th. that argument will be on april 22nd. he argued that the presidents need complete immunity to do their job.

>> thank you so much, garrett. danny, it was a lengthy address that former president trump gave. i want to play a little bit of sound. let's talk about significance of this decision today. >> the voters can take the person out of the race very quickly, but a court shouldn't be doing that and the supreme court saw that very well. >> so, obviously he feels good about this decision, but what are the implications here and does this only apply to president trump or will it be any president. >> it would be apply to any candidate. that's the key here. the constitution said the states do get to conduct elections on their own but they can't decide that section 3 bars a particular candidate from being on the ballot. and this really was probably the direction we all saw the supreme court going at oral argument and they even mentioned this in their opinion, the idea that to on otherwise conclude would be this patchwork where any state

could decide the issue whether someone was an insurrectionist. the fact that was kind of minor issue in this supreme court opinion. it's really about a common justice kavanagh, who decides who is an insurrection. >> garrett mentioned this, next month we'll hear arguments on the president's claims he's immuned from prosecution, does this decision today give us any hints about what's going to happen? >> i'd say zero, the issues are so different. so far to read into the fact that the supreme court took the immunity case in first place, although they warned in their order taking up the case we're not expressing any opinion on the matters, that was in inserted in there, why are you taking up case where you have a district court and then the circuit court decided what the district court decided, no

controversial in the law the legal decision here, but this is also the most legal issue arguably ever. >> ever. all right, danny, thank you so much and to garrett haake, as well, thank you the punishing weather not over in northern california. they're about to get hit again, take a look at what some of people in sierra nevadas have already dealt with. even more snow and rain headed to region from the california coast all the way to the colorado rockies. let's get started with nbc's steve patterson in truckee, california. >> reporter: residents across the mountain west digging out after what was a relentless nonstop storm. we're talking about snowfall from thursday night, 72 hours where it just simply did not stop. this caused a lot of problems. especially on the road. interstate i-80, the

thoroughfare in this area that really connects the entire region shut down for several days after traffic became snared in these impassable whiteout conditions, causing spinouts. they had to shut down the road for about a hundred miles. causing a lot of problems with residents in this area. another avalanche just south of lake tahoe. it went over several cars. snared traffic there for a while. thankfully nobody hurt in that. this also caused people to stay in their homes essentially because of how thick the snow was, five to ten feet in most communities upwards of 12 feet, if you go up into the mountains and the winds here were absolutely roaring on the peaks, there were 190 mile an hour wind gusts and then sustained winds from 60 to 70 when you get lower in elevation, but that wreaked havoc of course on the roads and at ski resort that were shut down. yosemite national park shut down for a time.

thankfully, now, you can see the sun is out, the roads have been cleared to large degree in several communities that have managed to dig out, but all in preparation for more snow which is on the way in just a few hours we expect a second system to follow what has been this storm of the year, another 1 to 2 feet predicted in the mountain regions and several more inches falling at lower elevations like here at truckee, residents are having a moment to catch their breath but bracing themselves for what's next. let's get into that with meteorologist bill karins, how much -- you heard steve mentioned it, give us your expert opinion on what we're expecting. >> things are trending downward. they want this to be a big huge storm. we just got in snow totals for this four-day event, sugar bowl did get over 10 feet of snow.

i don't know how they murder this stuff in these winds. those were the storm totals. a little bit of moisture starting to increase on the coast. yosemite to the lake tahoe area. southern cascades will get the bulk of this snow. the latest forecast is tahoe swardz not much. tahoe, where we could get those 1 to 2 foot totals. we'll watch this storm. nothing like what we just finished. >> wow, all right, bill karins, thank you the wildfire outbreak in texas growing yet again, what firefighters already battling the largest wildfire in state history are now facing another fire tearing across the panhandle. morgan chesky. >> reporter: hard to believe but every single day over the last week a new piece of the texas

panhandle has burned and right now there are fire crews stretched for hundreds of miles across this vast area trying to prevent that what happened to this neighborhood doesn't happen again. and right now, we know that it was this community that a new lawsuit states may have been very close to origin of that more million-acre blaze the smokehouse creek fire, still only 15% contained. authorities say at last check it's burned more than 400 buildings and the death toll sits at two people. official cause is under investigation. but the fire chief here told me that his team just outside the edge of town found a power pole snapped over expiring those wires to very dry fuel on the ground. authorities won't say that's the defin fif cause but a woman in canadian texas who's lost her home has filed a lawsuit against

xcel energy. one pole snapped off at the base, expiring those live wires to the ground and that's what ignited the fire. xcel for itself part say they're aware of the investigation they promise to cooperate with authorities and. in the meantime, there's some good news for people here in the panhandle, many of these red flag warnings are expiring today and right now across the entire country, donations of hay are pouring in to help hard-hit ranchers who lost both cattle and so much land here. morgan chesky, nbc news. time now for today's money minute. jetblue and spirit decide it wasn't meant to be. box office a blowout for dune part two. kate rooney joins me know. jetblue airways and spirit airlines will end their $3.8 billion merger deal due to

the face to face comes a day after the vice president ramped up the administration's rhetoric on this conflict demanding that israel allow more aid to flow into gaza and demanding that hamas accept a cease-fire agreement. president biden echoing his vice president's comments today writing on x, the aid flowing into gaza is nowhere near enough and nowhere fast enough. it all comes as they're growing pressure to have cease-fire deal in place by the islamic holy month of ramadan which begins this weekend. joining me now is gabe gutierrez and josh lederman. gabe, so the vice president meeting with benny ganss a member of israel's war cabinet, do we know why this meeting is happening? >> reporter: just a short time ago we heard from spokesperson for the national security council who said that gans

requested this meeting. israel, some friction between president biden and prime minister netanyahu, of course netanyahu has sought a meeting here at the white house for quite some time. gans meeting with high-level u.s. officials here but the national security council is downplaying, you know the significance of this, it was gans who questioned this meeting and since he's a member of the war cabinet that u.s. officials will meet with him. >> a notably sharper tone coming out of the vice president and the president today, is there a policy shift happening here, a pressure campaign, a messaging shift? >> reporter: well, kate, the white house said there's no daylight between vice president kamala harris and what president biden has said before. she was asked about that a short time ago. take a listen. >> the president and i have been aligned and consistent from the very beginning. israel has a right to defend

itself, far too many palestinian civilians, innocent civilians have been killed, we need to get more aid in and the hostages out and that remains our position. >> president biden posting on social media, we're continuing to push hard for more trucks and more routes to get more aid to people in gaza. kate, this is a shift from early on in the war, the israel/hamas war where we heard the white house make it a point they didn't want to tell israel what to do. the white house stands steadfast ly by israel. but the increase shift to protect -- >> cease-fire talk resumed today in cairo. do we know where things stand on a potential deal by this weekend? >> reporter: israel didn't send a delegations to those talks.

if there's any indication, may not as much progress. that being said the white house has indicated israel has all but signed off on this u.s. proposal for six-week cease-fire. the lists of which hostages in the gaza strip are still alive, something israel has been demanding from hamas as well as list of which palestinian prisoners israel would be willing to release as part of that deal. until there's a deal, there's still no deal, kate. >> the u.s. air force dropped the first round of emergency aid into gaza over the weekend. we saw that dramatic video there. is more expected to arrive and if so how soon, josh? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. 38,000 meals that were air dropped in that first drop from u.s. we just heard from the white

house there will be more u.s. airdrops, exactly when they're not saying. the white house indicated they'll be a regular cadence of air drops we'll see quite a bit of this going forward. aid groups said trucks are still the most effective way to get aid in. >> josh lederman, gabe gutierrez, thank you. still ahead, cutting back. why diversity, equity and why diversity, equity and inclusion effor arets imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-c... ♪ by treating it with linzess. then you could start proactively managing your constipation with belly pain, and begin to find yourself a little further away from the symptoms that keep coming back. say yess to linzess. linzess is not a laxative. it's a once-daily pill that helps you get ahead of your symptoms. it's proven to help you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. and helps relieve overall abdominal symptoms -

breaking news along the southern border, a federal appeals court has reversed a lower court ruling and says that texas can implement a controversial immigration law, the law allows state authorities to arrest and jail undocumented immigrants, let's get right to julia ainsley, she joins me from washington. explain this ruling. what does it mean? >> reporter: well, it means that the fifth circuit is reversing the lower court's decision to block sb4. controversial immigration bill spear headed by texas governor greg abbott allow local and state police to stop anyone they suspect to anyone crossed the border and it changes the balance of who's able to enforce immigration.

the western district of texas said texas should not have done that. not on the merits. to put a stay on it. while they looked at thises this couldn't go in effect. the fifth district, similar to pattern on razor wire and the buoys in the rio grande valley, said in fact they can move forward on this pending the supreme court ruling on this. they expedited that on calendar. when exactly their stay goes into effects. when cold sb4 go into effect. the way they wrote it a stay for seven days basically follow the date of publication, this stay and the law would be in effect for a week. lot of people are interpreting the law can't go into effect for a week, so we're actually out to the clerk of the court right now, because there's lot of

confusion on the way they wrote that, but either way they're reversing the lower court it's just a matter of when day did and for how long. >> and whether the u.s. supreme court ever gets involved which could change things. >> that seems very likely they will. >> thank you so much. in florida, there's a new battle over efforts to increase diversity on college campuses. . the university of florida is now slashing all positions that had to diversity, equity and inclusion. so called dei. the university is complying with a state rule prohibiting state funds for those programs. marissa has been following this one. she joins me from florida. why does the state want to eliminate these initiatives? >> reporter: kate, just before the weekend the university of florida putting in their memo pending this on compliance with state law, we had the governor of florida ron desantis signed a

law about a year ago essentially defunding these diversity programs. within this legal context these are defined as any program, campus activity or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity or sexual or notation. defunding this within state's higher education and the florida board of education just adopted this a few weeks ago. so several universities have now followed suit. not only in gainesville, the university of north florida, florida international university saying the same, they made this decision to comply with state law and as expected governor desantis celebrated this. he tweeted in reaction, florida is where dei goes to die. we expect more state schools to follow. >> how are students reacting to the change and how could this impact diversity efforts more largely on college campuses?

>> reporter: that's great question. you can imagine that there were at he of students who had opinions they didn't necessarily feel comfortable sharing on camera. majority of students that we spoke to were pretty against this. op-ed in the student newspaper speaking out it. listen to yourself to some of the students we found. >> i've seen people saying, you know, thank god we can save $5 million a year and i've seen other people saying this is like horrible. >> i'm quite disappointed by it. i think the university administration has let us down in this regard. >> reporter: couple of things we also spoke with the director of african american studies who raised questions on where this could lead outside of florida. where will that will lead us? we know texas already has a statewide ban on dei within

higher ed, this went into effects on january 1st. utah just signed a bill, that means they'll also see similar actions just like what we saw here in florida. big question here, where will we see this in gop-led states. >> marissa, thank you. a chilling milestone is being marked by the families of the victims of malaysia airlines flight 370, ten years ago this week that that plane disappeared on a flight to beijing. now the malaysian government said the u.s. firm is proposing a new search. tom costello. it was 10 years ago this week. one of the world's great aviation mysteries began on march 8th, 2014. still no emergency transmitter

signal. no sign of wreckage. a red eye to beijing seemed routine, but something went terribly wrong. radar and satellite data suggest the plane made a sudden you turn, flew back over malaysia. cut north and then apparently turned south. disappearing somewhere in the southern indian ocean, an extremely difficult place to search. nbc's keir simmons spent weeks in the search zone. >> there is no sign of flight 370. >> this is an area with very few people, very few ships. it is just a very, very remote part of our world. >> reporter: now, the american company, ocean infinity, is proposing a new search with the malaysian government signaling support. >> i'm very, very confident that the governor of malaysia and the cabinet will approve it. >> reporter: they already conducted a month's long search for the plane in 2018 but came up empty. though pieces of the wreckage have washed ashore, on reunion

island thousands of miles from the search zone and further west off the coast of africa. >> it has no step on it. as written is on my aircraft wings. >> reporter: talk comes as many of the family members gathered to honor their loved ones ahead of the ten-year mark. >> the families really want closure to this. >> reporter: one of those family members, sara, who lost her boyfriend phillip ward. >> it is a real travesty what happened. >> reporter: she since married and runs a resort in panama. while she has doubts on whether another search will happen, she remains hopeful. >> they owe it to the world. they owe it to the family members to find out what happened. >> reporter: the leading theory continues to be that the pilot intentionally flew this plane off course and then crashed it into the ocean. he had the motive, the opportunity and the knowledge to get the plane to fly the path it did in the way few people might have done.

the mystery may actually never be solved. >> tom costello, thank you. coming up, emotional farewell. jason kelce said he's stepping away from football. his message to fans about what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton

in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us. i'm peter dixon and i approved this message.

when peter dickson led my platoon into combat in afghanistan, he cared about two things: completing the mission, and making sure his marines came home. and we all did. pete's always fought for what he believes in, and i know he'll do the same in congress for affordable housing, the rights of women, and the democracy he swore to protect. because helping people who need it has always been pete's mission. and i know he'll get it done. next generation veteran fund is responsible for the content of this ad. more and more women are
