hello, everyone. i'm kate snow. zinhle essamuah is off today. "nbc news daily" starts right

now. ♪♪ today, monday march 19th -- rather tuesday, march 19th, 2024. breaking news moving forward, the supreme court allows a texas immigration law to go into effect, state police and judges allowed to deport people they suspect crossed the border illegally. and new video shows riley strain, the question of where is he? royals and rumors, buckingham palace is unable to shake the speculation over princess kate. and new research shows intermittent fasting could pose

a serious risk to your health. hello, everyone. welcome we begin with breaking news, the supreme court allowing a controversial immigration law in texas to go into effect. the state law allows local and state police to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the u.s. it also empowers judges to deport those migrants. the law had been blocked by a supreme court order for the last two weeks. gabe gutierrez joins me now. just yesterday the supreme court said it was blocking the law indefinitely. what are the justices now saying today? what are you hearing from the biden administration? >> reporter: that's right. it was surprising. just yesterday the temporary stay as it's known had been extended indefinitely. but a short time ago we received a ruling from the supreme court. and the justices did not rule on the legality of sb-4 but they essentially decided -- the majority decided they shouldn't second guess the appeals court, therefore letting it go into

effect at least for now. the three liberal justices wrote in a strongly worded decent the court gives a green light to the law that will upend a federal state balance of power and sow chaos. that's the decent from the three liberal justices. but the other justices in a 6-3 ruling essentially deciding to let the controversial law, sb-4 which allows local police in texas to arrest people suspected of being in the states illegally. >> i know you spent time at the border reporting there. talk about how drastic a change this will be on the ground. >> reporter: this had been part of the legal back and forth for quite some time between the state of texas and governor greg abbott and the white house. the biden administration said this law was unconstitutional and accuses the texas governor

of perpetraing political stunts using migrants as political pawns. but this law gives more power to state authorities and the biden administration has said it should be up to the federal government and that by law it's up to the federal government to enforce immigration law. so this law, sb-4 now being allowed to go into effect by the supreme court. very significant. and there are questions from local law enforcement officials in texas whether they have the adequate training to enforce this law, kate. >> gabe, thank you so much. former president donald trump is facing backlash for new comments he made about jewish voters. here's what he said during an interview on a conservative radio show yesterday. >> the democrat party hates israel. any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion. they hate everything about israel.

and they should be ashamed of themselves. because israel would be destroyed. >> the head of the league called those statements defamatory and false. a white house spokesperson said there's no justification for spreading toxic stereotypes that threaten other citizens. vaughn hillyard is in arizona today for us because it is a primary day. talk how the campaign is responding to the criticism. >> reporter: trump is his own spokesperson for his own campaign. looking at comments like these, this is not the first time he made the comments. even back in 2019, he said, quote, i think any jewish people that vote for a democratic i think it shows a lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. then two years later in 2021, he said, quote, there's people in this country who no longer love israel. and in 2022 he said u.s. jews

have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in israel before it's too late. a few months ago after the hms hamas attack on israel he said if he's not elected, there will be no israel. suggesting he's a staunch defender of israel and it's imperative he has another time in the white house. >> we know it's biden/trump but there are still primaries today, that's why you're in arizona. what are you hearing from voters about trump and the race more broadly? >> reporter: right. president biden, in fact, is flying into the state here today for several events over the next 24 hours but it's the republican primary that is still the most particularly interesting one. we will get results tonight, of course donald trump has already lock up the number of delegates necessary to win the nomination but folks have been mailing in

ballots before the last month before nikki haley dropped out of the race. i talked to one gentleman, tom winters, who came to vote for nikki haley despite she already dropped out. he told me in 2008 he's someone who voted for mccain over obama. he said if it was biden and haley election, he would vote for nikki haley but it's biden and trump so he's voting for the democratic. it's those voters that donald trump has to win over a significant share of after he lost this state by just over 11,000 votes in 2020. it's an intense seven months ahead here. >> quickly. you said biden is in the state of arizona on the democratic side is there any contest for biden, the idea of voting for an other candidate that's happened in other states?

>> reporter: democrat marian williamson is in the race, but she's only been garnering 1, 2% in most of the states. so he's making a stop at a mexican restaurant before holding an event tomorrow with intel. touting the chips act signed into law in the first administration of his as he contends with the voters of arizona to give him a second shot for four more years. the family of a college student who vanished ten days ago now is bringing in extra resources. riley strain's family announced they are calling in a group called cajun navy. strain was last seen on march 8th after his friends say he was asked to leave a bar in nashville while on a fraternity trip. kathy park is following the investigation.

>> reporter: the mystery is deepening over the disappearance of a 22-year-old college student from missouri, riley strain has been gone for more than ten days now and his family is here seeking answers. recently nashville police released body camera footage and it shows a brief interaction with riley and an officer in the area on march 8th, just before 10:00 p.m. you can hear riley's voice, in this clip, he says he's doing okay. doesn't appear to be in any distress and 9:52 is when he was walking out of the frame. meanwhile, there's another clue that surfaced over the weekend. it was a bank card unsurfaced by so-called citizen detectives. they are here, based in nashville, and they went searching on their own, they walked along the embankment of the cumberland river, rummaged through the debris, the trash, and they were able to uncover riley's bank card, the family did confirm it was their son's bank card.

i had a chance to talk with family members a couple of days ago, they are emotional and remaining hopeful because officials have said they don't suspect foul play at this time. they are, however, upset at the fact that a lot of surveillance images have surfaced, they show riley stumblstumbling, falling t times and they're upset that no one came to his aid when he was alone and clearly not himself. time for the cnbc money minute. trader joe's is announcing a recall. leslie picker joins me now. >> reporter: cashews sold at trader joe's have been recalled over concerns of salmonella. it comes as trader joe's has experienced multiple recalls as recently as last month.

heating up again. another picture taken by kate, the princess of wales is under fire for being altered. this shows the late queen elizabeth with her children and grandchildren. it was posted last year. but now getty said it was, quote, digitally altered. that comes as speculation continues to swirl also about the health of the princess of wales. matt bradley joins me from london. the story doesn't go away. start with the new photo why was it flagged? it calls into question every picture out of the palace. >> reporter: it does for a certain kind of avid royal watcher with time on their hands. we're seeing people coming through looking for little scratches, like little breaks in the picture. there were lines, colors that don't seem to match up. you can see where, at times, there's a straight line that seems -- a faint straight line

that runs through it. looks as though it has been manipulated. but only if you look really, really closely and that's what a lot of people are apparently do. we'll see more of this as more of the photos get called into question. a lot of internet supersleuths are going to look into the background, the history, seeing if this is something the palace has been doing for a long time. this is a photo that's supposed -- we never know anymore -- shows the queen herself with her grandchildren. if you thought kate-gate was over, it seems like it might be getting started. it's hard to get a photo with all the kids smiling at the same time. >> this is what people are saying. >> the tmz video that shows

princess kate leaving the market over the weekend in windsor. has that calmed the speculation around her? >> reporter: it has not calmed the speculation. it's still running wild with conspiracy theories and jokes, some of them pretty hilarious. we heard from some royal followers that insisted it's not kate in that video, even though we see her walking and talking, really life like does not look like it's manipulated. if the video calmed down some of that talk, i don't think we have what we're discussing now, that picture with the queen is unlikely to put to bed the rumors, it's probably going to revive what little has been settled with the video. because now the entire internet will be going picture by picture looking for faults.

>> matt bradley, thank you so much appreciate it. the los angeles police department are cracking down on what they're calling burglary tourists. >> correspondent dana griffin looks at the new task force the lapd is launching to fight back against these international crime rings. >> reporter: the lapd launching a new special task force after a concerning rise in so-called burglary tourists as residents in southern california on high alert. >> we have a significant increase in burglaries from organized groups that are outside this country, they're coming into the country, and they're targeting high-end residents. >> reporter: police say the burglar tourists are part of international crime rings, traveling from countries in south america. the majority from chile, with the mission to break in and rob homes in the u.s. home surveillance videos like this capturing the moment a group of individuals break a

window and enter a home in redland, california, and an all too familiar story for residents in the area. >> very, you know, disturbing. you know, it rattles us as a neighborhood. we've been here for years and years. >> reporter: the lapd says there have been more than 900 residential burglaries in the area since january. and in orange county irvine police say in the past 35 days there have been 34 home burglaries similar in nature to burglaries tied to the south american crime rings. police say the intruders use sophisticated technology, like wifi jammers, drones and even camouflage suits. to stake out homes and disable security cameras. >> some sort of device by burglars that actually deaden, kill, or stop wifi from operating. >> reporter: ransacking residents for cash, jewelry, electronics and high-end handbags. but how are these highly

bars? >> reporter: words of the alleged statement came out at the start of the trial. judge matthews signed an order limiting james' communication. he was only allowed to communicate with his attorney, clergy and use the tablet for research after we found out about the threats. our sources said the threats were made by phone dating back to 2022, phone calls with his sister saying in part his goal was to destroy the oakland county prosecutor, and that's karen mcdonald. he told his sister that mcdonald was going to hell soon, she was done. the detroit free press was the first to report and our sources told us there were multiple calls. before the details of the threat became public i asked james' defense attorney as well as prosecutor mcdonald about the threats. here's what they told me. >> he made a lot of threats. i'm not giving any more of my intention. >> they weren't toward you, were they? >> i'm not going to talk about it. >> there was a disagreement what was said. i'm not going to comment any further on it. >> reporter: james and his wife are scheduled to be sentenced next month. >> we're hearing from the parents of the four students

killed in the shooting. where are they turning their attention? >> reporter: they want more accountability. they want to hold the school district and school leaders accountable. because of a law, they can't criminally hold the school officials accountable. meanwhile, under most circumstances, a government entity is immune from liability, even for gross negligence. so these parents want to investigate the acts for a high school shooting, they also want the attorney general to do that. they want independent investigations after mass school shootings and change the governmental immunity law, telling me they want the opportunity to take school leaders to trial. listen in. >> if you don't have that and you set that bar, then everybody is going to try to do a better job and actually protect our children. >> you have the murder plan in

level, would want to be so bold as to send her those types of text messages and porn. >> reporter: we're calling her joy. she can barely repeat the words from a text message forwarded to her from a coworker while working remotely. >> sent her text messages about what he wanted to do to her. >> reporter: she said the messages were sent to the victim from archie davis, the chief of staff within the va's office of resolution management, diversity and inclusion. >> these are the people who are in charge of preventing sexual harassment. and they're totally violating the process. >> reporter: joy forwarded the messages to her supervisor, a woman we're calling grace in september of 2023. both then reported what was happening to congress. >> i have never seen a case where someone sends explicit messages, text messages, porn,

pornography, to an employee. >> reporter: their report led to republican chair mike boss to order an investigation of the office. sending this letter on september 29th to dennis mcdonagh asking if he's aware of these allegations. >> i have no independent recollection of reading the letter. >> reporter: he admitted during a congressional hearing on february 14th that the letter was put in the back of his file and he didn't learn of the allegations until november. but secretary mcdonagh said he cooperated with the va office of accountability and whistle-blower protection. it resulted in a 125 page report. >> the report confirms much of what the whistle-blower shared with us. that vaormdi office is full of misconduct to the highest degree. this is unacceptable. >> the va will take appropriate disciplinary action. >> reporter: the va proposed removal for the davis and no

less than suspension for another executive in the office, gary richardson for inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature towards the same victim but grace wasn't expecting the va to discipline her too for her handling of richardson's harassment case in 2021. >> you can't justify a removal. >> reporter: that's when the victim first accused him of sending instant messages. >> the removal is because they're retaliating against me because i reported it. i reported it to congress. >> reporter: she is appealing the decision. >> the harassers have the same penalty i had, a removal. they have the same penalty. >> and lucy joins me now. i should sexual assault was the acquisition but it was sexual harassment they were accused of. i know you've done extensive reporting on the va, the

department and the allegations. what comes next now in the investigation and what investigation is this giving to the whistle-blower? >> she is appealing the decision saying she followed procedure and now we wait, the va office waits as well. the message here that she's worried about is people aren't going to come forward. however the va office said she was a manager, she should have known better, should have reported this. but this is all happening at a time when the boeing whistle-blower was found dead by suicide in a parking lot just last week. the same week the department of justice announces a pilot program saying we will give whistle-blowers cash if you tell us about cooperate corruption we don't know about. even saying if you did something wrong, certain categories it's okay we're not going to prosecute, as long as you give us information that leads to corporate corruption so it's counter to what they're trying to do.

but once again they're saying this is a manager she should have known better. see if it's political football or if it leads to protection of someone doing something right. >> i know you're going to stay on it but come back if you get more. thank you. after a series of problems involving flights across the country the ceo of united airlines is out with a letter assuring the airline is safe. here's tom costello. >> reporter: united airlines trying to reassure the public because we are in the spring break rush right now and we had a series of high profile incidents involving united, boeing aircraft, so the message from united they take it seriously and are doubling down on maintenance and safety. here are a few of the incidents that of course we have been reporting on. the incident as the flight was leaving houston, a 737 a few weeks ago, fire coming out of the back of the engine that appears to have been an engine stall or compressor stall. usually not a big deal.

the plane did land safely. we had the flight from san francisco losing a tire during takeoff, damaging several cars below. a different 737 slid off the run way after landing in houston. no injuries. a flight out of australia to the states forced to turn around mid flight after fluid, apparentlyhydraulic fluid was leaking from the under side of the aircraft. and then a flight landing in portland missing a panel on the under side. again nobody injured. nobody injured in any of these incidents. and yet it under scores these are boeing aircraft. a lot of concerns about boeing following the door plug and the concern is maintenance every day. if it's not an issue with the mechanics of the airplane, it's maintenance. that's why ceo scott kerby

of united airlines is trying to assure the public they take it seriously. united airlines said they're unrelated incidents but they have sharpened their focus, especially on maintenance. they're updating their training for new mechanics and dedicating new resources to the supplier network management. it's all about maintenance. keep in mind that this has been a safe period for aviation. while the incidents are concerning, there's no single thread that connects all of them, other than maintenance. the last time we had a plane crash, commercial jet liner crash, a u.s. carrier in this country was in 2009. 2023, safest year ever for commercial jet traffic worldwide. not a single crash anywhere in the world last year involving a jet liner. it is the safest way to travel but these events have unnerved some families as we are in the spring break travel season. back to you. >> tom, thank you. up next, what you need to know about an

my name's dan and i live here in san antonio, texas. i ran my own hvac business and now i'm retired. i'm not good being retired. i'm a pain in the neck. i like to be able to have a purpose. about three or four years ago, i wasn't feeling as if i was as sharp as i used to be. i saw the prevagen commercials. after a short amount of time taking prevagen, i started noticing a difference-- that i'm remembering this, i'm remembering that. i stopped taking prevagen and i found myself slacking back so i jumped right back on it. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

in today's daily health, if you're on a weight loss journey you may have heard of intermittent fasting. the diet pattern has exploded in popularity, it's when people only eat at certain times of the day now research shows it may not be good for everyone and could lead to cardiovascular death.

joining me to explain is aria bendicks. i want to quickly note it is the muslim holy month of ramadan we're not talking about that, we're talking about fasting that's a diet tool. what did the research find? >> it was a 20,000 person study done in the u.s. the key takeaway here is that people who ate all of their food, the bulk of their food, within a less than eight hour window saw a 91% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than people who ate across 12 or 16 hours in a day. it challenges our previous thinking that maybe intermittent fasting was good for heart health but it's not good. it's a study relying on people's memory of what they ate over two days. so more to learn here. >> that is a dramatic number here. i was told there was a lot of studies out there about

intermittent fasting. some say there's no risk, some say it's great, has benefits. it's one of those, what are we supposed to believe? >> to summarize the bulk of evidence suggests that it is safe. dietary patterns and we can look at a few, reducing the risk of disease, inflammation, promoting weight loss, even helping lower blood pressure or bad cholesterol. we're looking for the randomized trials with intermittent fasting we haven't gotten those until the last five to seven years so we're looking for more of those. >> more research helps us understand better. what's the bottom line for people on a health journey that want to lose a few pounds? what's the best diet advice? >> the main message is not every indict is right for everyone but diet is right for everyone, but i think there are a few things to consider. if you're elderly, frail, chronic health conditions talk to a doctor if this is right for

you. everyone should be talking to a physician if they're talking about making these major changes to their diet. and it matters what you eat and how many calories you're taking in if you want to lose weight. so if at the end of the day it's helping you not over eat and reach for a vegetable, it might be right for that person. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. the cdc is issuing an alert over a rise in measles cases in the u.s., so far this year 58 confirmed cases across 17 states, the same number of cases we saw in all of last year. so, joining us now, dr. syra madad, first off, thank you for joining us, interestingly, this data says that according to the cdc 93% of these cases this year were actually linked to international travel. what do we need to know?

how concerned should we be? >> i'm very concerned and from a public health perspective, it's very concerning. because we're seeing drops in vaccine coverage across the united states. we dropped from 95% to 93% among kindergarteners even though that 2% drop may sound small that's hundreds of thousands of kids. when you talk about measles spread think of wildfire in kind of a dry area. so one spark or case can ignite large outbreaks. and vaccines or measles we have a save and effective vaccine with a track record of 50 years how safe it is. those are the fire breakers, preventing tran mission of this virus. >> remind us who should get the vaccine and anyone who should not? >> the cdc recommends children 12 to 15 months get their first

dose and 4 to 6 years second dose. born before 1957 you're protected because you got the measles virus or, you know, the like. so you're protected. and if you're an adult and don't know if you have had the measles vaccine talk to your health care provider and it's safe to get another one. >> if you had it as a kid you're protected as an adult. >> yes. >> quickly, symptoms to look out for? >> so you first have the kind of cold-like symptoms that can start within seven days of your exposure and progresses to rash all over your body. contact your health care provider if you see any signs or provider if you see any signs or sy i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up, i've got symptom relief. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ feel significant symptom relief
