trump can't quote, turn back the clock on climate progress. also, things are getting weird in ohio. what voters are saying about the increasingly angry and now kind of strange gop senate primary. let us get to the reporters starting in arizona. vaughn hillyard is in maricopa county. bring us up to speed on arizona. >> reporter: i just talked to kari lake, who is a u.s. senate candidate, a close ally of donald trump. she just voted at this location behind me for donald trump. of course that is the only thing on the ballot here in arizona. the next big primary is when she is on the ballot come this august. but you know, i was able to put the question to her about why donald trump and her would be able to pull off wins in november and she said she believes the choice will be stark between her and rubin gaego. i want to let you listen to some voters we talked to today who

took part in the republican primary despite donald trump having the nomination wrapped up. >> well, for one thing, i don't believe he lost in '20 and i don't believe kari lost in '22. besides that, he's just the only one, if he does win, is considered really the winner. that can really save the country. >> i didn't want to vote for trump so i just voted against him. >> reporter: so you voted in a republican primary. who did you vote for? >> nikki haley. >> reporter: even though she's out of the race? why? >> because i didn't want to give me vote to trump. >> reporter: those two folk rs a good distillation. it's those who are going to decide the election in november. how many of that first woman show up to come vote for trump in november. she told me herself she was an

election denier. or folks like tom, a registered republican. voted for john mccain over barack obama but told me if nikki haley, who he voted for today, were to have won this republican nomination, he would have voted for nikki haley, but that's not the reality. instead, it's going to be trump and biden. who's he going to go for in november? joe biden. it's voters like joe who gave joe biden the win in arizona in 2020 and folks like arizona democratic governor katie hobbs the win in 2022 over candidates like kari lake. those are the voters we're going to be tracking. >> thank you very much. joining me from capitol hill on the reaction of donald trump accusing jewish democrats of hating their religion is ali vitali. to be clear, anyone who's followed politics now for the last few years will know donald trump has said something like this in the past. it's taking on new meaning now. why? >> reporter: because of the

ongoing situation between israel and palestine but just listen to the comments donald trump made, which you're right, have echoes of controversial statements he's made in the past. watch. >> why do the democrats hate bibi netanyahu? >> i actually think they hate israel. >> yes. >> i think they hate israel. when you see those palestinian marches, even i, i'm amazed at how many people are in those marches and guys like schumer see that. i think it's votes more than anything else because he was always pro israel. he's very anti israel now. any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion. they hate everything about israel. and they should be ashamed of themselves. >> reporter: this of course coming against the backdrop of senator schumer in recent days saying he didn't think netanyahu was the right person for the job effectively as the head of the

israeli state right now, but schumer now reagenting saying to make israel a partisan issue only hurts israel and u.s.-israeli relationship. now, senators and house republican lawmakers all get back in town later this afternoon. we're waiting to be able to ask them about this latest twist of trump controversy, but certainly you have to imagine that this might again fall along partisan lines in terms of the reaction. that being said, we're going to see what the lawmakers tell us when they get back to town. >> thank you very much. now to las vegas where president biden just got a big financial boost. a $120 million pledge from a leading progressive climate group. aaron, walk me through this money and what president biden will be doing there in nevada

later today. >> reporter: president biden landed in reno just a few minutes ago making his way from the airport there now to a new campaign office that's opening there in the northern part of nevada. this $120 million commitment that you just referenced is coming from the league of conservation voters victory fund. it backs president biden's efforts he's made, efforts around clean water and air and also historic climate legislation that the president has advanced. their goal is really to back what they say are pro climate and pro democracy candidates from president biden on down the ballot across the country. really, this is a part of the coalition that the biden campaign has said it needs to build and is building across the country. a few weeks ago, i was in atlanta when the president got the support of black, latino and

pacific islander organizations to a tune of $30 million to try to advance what the president is presenting across the country. so this is the coalition that president biden has said he's trying to build and we're going to see more of that as the president makes this swing through the southwest. he's here in nevada today. he's in reno right now. he'll be here in las vegas later this afternoon before moving on to arizona. today here in las vegas, he's going to be talking about housing and his proposal to boost housing assistance programs and help home building by $258 billion before he moves on to arizona where he'll talk more about campaign issues. he really thinks in this particular region, he can talk about abortion, immigration, election denialism in a way that will resonate with voters. i want you to hear one of the new campaign staffers in the reno office that's opening today about why nevada is an area that is right for the president's

message. >> across the state, especially in rural nevada, smaller on the eastern border of utah and nevada is getting $4 million thanks to president biden's leadership. those investments are really having impacts in communities across the state and i think that's the message he's going to deliver here. >> reporter: and so this afternoon, we'll hear the president talk about what the american rescue plan has already done here in clark county in the las vegas area and he'll also talk about what he plans to do going forward. he'll talk about a mortgage tax credit for homeowners. he'll talk about trying to help renters with expenses they're seeing build around the country but in this particular area, he'll move on to arizona where we'll see a more traditional campaign style stop and he'll talk about donald trump by name and he'll talk about what he hopes to accomplish with the support of black, latino, and asian voters that the campaign

has said they're not waiting. they don't want those groups to feel they're an afterthought. they're going to engage them now in as many different ways as possible. >> aaron gillcrist, love seeing the spear. does look very cool. finally to ohio where candidate quality is on the ballot. henry gomez joins us. henry, walk me through the gop senate primary and why it's a test of donald trump's power of endorsement. >> we're really seeing some sharply drawn battle lines. you've got a trump endorsed business man who spent the final days of the campaign barn storming the state with maga figures like kari lake, j.d. vance, the other senator from ohio and trump was here on saturday as you're seeing on screen rallying for mourinho, trying to close the deal. they see this as a fight between trump's movement and the old guard republican establishment

in ohio. the chief rival for the republican senate nomination is a man named matt dolan who hasn't aligned himself tightly with the trump movement. he says he supports trump policies but acknowledges he has personality differences with the former president and dolan has an endorsement from mike dewine who has been cautious of how he approaches trump. dolan and dewine rallied together last night and they made this case about how you need to send somebody to washington to get results, not somebody who shouts all the time. i asked if he was talking about trump and he said it was more about leaders in washington. this race seems to be a toss up. that's why we've seen trump, kari lake, ngome. the results tonight are really going to tell us if trump's influence and clout still

matters in a state he won twice by eight percentage points. >> i said candidate quality because it reminds me of obviously what mitch mcconnell said. saying the candidates of trump, suggesting the candidates trump picks have been so good for the general electorate. i wonder if this is going to be the case here. there's also news that nbc has confirmed around mourinho being involved in some sort of controversy around adult website. can you explain that? >> it's not a story that i've independently verified, but it's a story that's come out in recent days, was reported on by the associated press. the campaign denies that it was the candidate himself who set up this account on that website. it's been an intern, a former intern for one of his former car dealerships has released a statement saying it was him who created the account as a prank. we've seen some of the superpac allies of dolan try to make an

issue of this in an ad. they sent cease and desist letters to tv stations and a lot of them chose not to run the ad. it injected some nastiness into the last days of this campaign. i think what will make the most difference is an ad the national democrats aligned with chuck schumer have been running that highlight his conservative credentials and the trump endorsement. it's being interpreted as a meddling effort to lift mourinho out because he would be sherrod brown's opponent in the fall. >> really interesting. thank you so much. and in 60 seconds, former ohio governor, john kasich, joins us on whether it's smart politics for democrats to boost donald trump's pick for the gop senate primary. there he is. don't go anywhere. senate primary. there he is. don't go anywhere.

in ohio today that will tell us a lot about republican voters want in november. will it be the trump endorsed former car dealer or the relatively more establishment candidate, matt dolan, who donald trump by the way is attacking as a rhino. in other words, what is the power of a trump endorsement in 2024? >> it made a big impact on me and i want to support trump. i want to make sure that he has the team in place to be able to actually change law. >> probably for president trump, but your free will. >> i was undecided between bernie and dolan but i ultimately went for matt dolan. i think the trump endorsement swayed me away from him. that really doesn't appeal to me. >> i think that i was already leaning towards bernie before the trump endorsement but i

think the trump endorsement helps to solidify that maybe that's the vein that the republican is going. >> joining us now, former republican governor from ohio, of ohio, john kasich, and msnbc political analyst. thanks for being with us. why is ohio an interesting test case for donald trump right now? >> well, because trump came in here and you know, he's got all these people in here who are big trumpers and so we're going to see what happens on that. the thing that's been left out of this is frank larose, the secretary of state. he's kind of a trumper, too. didn't start out that way but has become a trumper pretty much. so he's taking some of those votes that would normally go to mourinho because he's a full trumper and probably splitting them a little bit. so you've got two trumpers and one non trumper and i think you know, we have to be careful when we draw conclusions here. in most cases, katy, i don't

think endorsements matter that much. although we see in the case of donald trump, endorsements do matter. it's just an interesting phenomenon and it won't last forever, but it's where we live right now. >> i think of candidate quality and this may be moot. there are two trumpy candidates running and they could split the vote and hand things over to the more establishment candidate. when i think about candidate quality and those mitch mcconnell comments then i think about how democrats want mourinho to win, they're boosting him, spending a ton of money on an ad campaign that's calling him 2.7 million on ads highlighting him as the maga republican who's too conservative for ohio. is he somebody that's easier for democrats to beat? >> if trump comes into ohio and does well, it's really hard for sherrod brown to survive. sherrod's a canny politician.

he's going to be formidable but if the tie for trump is as big as it has been in the past then i think sherrod's going to have a problem and whoever the republican nominee is, it's kind of what happened with vance. time ryan who ran against vance for the senate ran almost a perfect campaign. the democrats didn't pour a lot of money in there but the tide was such that ryan could not win. the tide is what's the national situation? the national drift. i don't believe that ohio is like some firmly red state. it may be now, but when i was elected governor, there was only one person in statewide office who was a republican. right now, we're in this moment where it sort of looks red but you mark my words. down the road, places like cleveland and youngstown, they will start to change and i think it will become a much more competitive state. the question is what's the time

period for that to happen. >> i was going to ask you how far down the road. >> we don't though. look, i think trump is a momentary phenomenon. he's been around for a while. >> almost a decade now, governor. >> well, i understand that, but you know, he lost the election, too, right, to biden. he's still having an enormous influence on the party. but i'm a patient man. you know, i don't think it's all about what's going on today or what's going on tomorrow. it's the long haul. i think the republican party is sort of out of whack in terms of and in ohio when it normally is or when ohio normally is. say one other they think about this. none of these candidates have excelled. this is not a race where there's a lot of excitement. there's, these candidates, when you have trump do an endorsement, he's sort of defining something about moreno. no one knows who he is. these candidates have not caught fire. in that case, endorsements

probably matter more, but in terms of where is the long lasting effect of trump? nobody's going to beat donald trump. he is one politician. in one period of time. you can't imitate the guy. and so i think it's kind of in many ways like pink floyd said. it's kind of a momentary lapse of reason. and i'm not trying to be overly critical. people like trump, god bless them, but to me, it is like a momentary lapse of reason. you're familiar with that album. >> i definitely am. dark side of the moon. hope it's dark side of the moon. i'm throwing it out there. ask me -- >> well, it is kind of the dark side of the moon, actually, these days, but the light will come up. the sun will shine. i think the party is in great flux. i don't think that the republican party is a party that is for all these and normally in modern times, for all these trade barriers.

they're not isolationists. they have been in the past, but i don't think that's where the party is over time. when trump's not around to stoke it, you tell me who takes his place because i don't see them and i don't think they're going to have the influence that he has. it's a unique moment in time. >> all right, john kasich, i'm going to surrender the flow. i'll allow you to go to the dark side of the moon. former governor of ohio, john kasich, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> if you know, you know. coming up, what is the state department doing to get trapped americans out of haiti? d americans out of haiti gamechanga! ...while the flexdisc contours to it. so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience. the best a man can get is gillettelabs.

there are nearly 1,000 americans trying to get out of haiti right now as gangs have taken over the capitol. it is so violent that dead bodies can be seen decaying on the streets. here's nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> reporter: more americans are out of haiti after a dramatic rescue operation. congressman corey mills of florida posting these pictures of 13 people whisked to safety as the violence in port-au-prince escalates. more deadly gun battles led by jimmy, better known as barbecue. one gang out with a slickly produced propaganda video

showing it's heavily armed. today, the state department said nearly 1,000 americans still trapped in haiti have reached out to the u.s. embassy. >> work is ongoing and we have no higher priority than the safety and security of american citizens but we certainly recognize the security situation is untenable. >> reporter: over the weekend, the u.s. evacuated more than 30 americans but it's private groups who are conducting some of the most dangerous rescues. missionary miriam is a baker from jacksonville. she's now safe after a harrowing escape thanks to project dynamo. a veteran-led search and rescue organization. >> we couldn't get to where the help was coming to. we couldn't get to cape haitian. we couldn't get to, you know, different places to even get on a government plane. >> joining us now is state department deputy principle spokesperson patel who we just saw in that piece by gabe. thank you so much for joining us. it's clearly pretty awful there in haiti.

what is the state department doing to get those thousand or so americans out? >> you're absolutely right, katy. the security situation is totally untenable and that's why we're continuing to work around the clock to address that issue with regional partners, but on american citizens, we have made our crisis intake form available. over this past weekend, we were able to facilitate the departure of more than 30 american citizens and we're continuing to assess options about what options are available for safety departure from cap haitian as well as port-au-prince. we have no greater priority than the safety and security of american citizens and there's planning being done around the clock to make sure we have options at our disposal. >> have you confirmed any americans hurt or killed during what's been happening there? >> at this point, no. we don't. we've not heard of any american citizens directly impacted or

succumbing to injuries or fatalities from the violence. you have to remember haiti has been a level four do not travel country since 2020. >> as we last heard, the prime minister who has since resigned was in puerto rico. it's unclear where he is now. does he currently have u.s. secret service protection? >> that's a question for the department of homeland security. if you'll allow me, the important focus for the united states now is working in close coordination with our caribbean partners to announce a transitional presidential committee that can hopefully appoint an interim prime minister and take on the very important task of overseeing a hopefully soon deployed multinational security support mission from our kenyan partners and helping address the security situation on the ground and get us to a place where we can have free and fair elections. >> can i ask who in haiti is involved in that transitional

team? is it the u.s. with the caribbean partners. is there anyone directly representing haiti there? >> so, on monday of last week when secretary blinken met with these leaders in kingston, haitian stake holders were zoomed in. it is our belief this needs to be a haitian-led process and that is why this transitional committee will be made up of haitian interlocketers over a diverse spectrum of haiti's politics who have decided to put their personal interests aside in order to help address the desire circumstances in their country. >> one quick question on what's happening in the middle east. secretary of state blinken is heading back to the region. can you give us an update on the status of the hostage negotiations? >> so, look, this is something that we are working around the clock. we believe that hostages need to be released immediately and we believe that there can be important progress made in that space. as you noted, the secretary

announced he's heading back to the region to jetta and cairo to continue to engage on partners on issues like the release of hostages as well as significantly increasing humanitarian aid flowing into gaza. >> thank you very much for joining us and we hope that everybody can get out of haiti safely. thank you very much. we've got breaking news now. the supreme court ruling just a couple of minutes -- sorry, the supreme court ruled just a couple of minutes ago that texas can continue to enforce a controversial immigration law that lets local police arrest and prosecute migrants. gabe gutierrez joins me from the white house. gabe, yesterday, it seems like this decision was indefinitely on hold. there was a stay then suddenly today, there's a ruling. what can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right. we're reading through it but yes, as you mentioned, right now, the supreme court letting that controversial law known as

sb 4 go into effect. that was the law that texas had passed last year allowing law enforcement in the state to arrest migrants that had entered the state illegally. it's gone back and forth in the courts but again, we're hearing now from the supreme court it is allowing this law to go into effect and the court says the federal government though can return to the supreme court if the fifth circuit does not act soon to decide whether a law should continue to remain in effect. there's no timeline for the fifth circuit to act. again, we're just going through this ruling right now to try and figure out the arguments on both sides of this. i just spoke to somebody here at the white house who says they are going through it as well. but right now, they have no comment thus far. we have heard from the white house previously though. they have repeatedly said that they believe that this law was

unconstitutional and they criticized texas governor greg abbott as, you know, that this law was politically motivated. they have referred to his actions before when it came to immigration in texas as political stunts. now, katy, we did speak with governor abbott just a couple of weeks ago down in austin and he said this law was necessary because of the record number of migrants that have been going into the state of texas and he believes, in his view, the federal government had not acted, that the state of texas, it was necessary to enforce this law. i've also put in a call to the texas department of public safety just within the past few minutes. we have not heard back from them. there are a lot of questions about how this will be enforced and whether this really changes immigration law in the u.s. because it is very significant, katy. as you know, the people that

have challenged this law argue that the federal government was responsible for enforcing immigration law and this appears to upend that. again, we're just still going through this ruling but again, the breaking news that the supreme court is now allowing, at least for now, this law down in texas to go into effect. >> i know you've been down there, covered the border, spoken to the governor. when you were down talking to local law enforcement, was this something that they wanted to be in charge of? did they feel like they had the resources to take on this added responsibility? >> reporter: well, katy, some do not. some feel this would add quite a burden to them to be able to have to do this. some say they haven't gotten adequate training to figure out how to apply this law. and you know, the state of texas has been challenging and thumbing its nose at the biden administration certainly for quite some time.

governor abbott has made it a point not just in terms of the legal realm but as we've been reporting, that the governor had bussed migrants all over this country. and in some ways, has been responsible for the shift to the right from some democratic politicians and big city mayors coming to their cities. in terms of the practical impact of this law going into effect, yes, some local law enforcement have expressed concerns down around those border counties on how this will affect them. still, some others have complained for quite some time that they wanted more authority in order to kind of to deal with the large number of migrants that have been coming into some of those border towns but again, this is pretty, very seismic in the sense that this controversial law is now being allowed to go into effect. >> gabe, thank you very much.

attorney general paxton has weighed in, calling it a huge win. our immigration law is now in effect, that is until of course and unless of course the fifth circuit weighs in. still to come, sentencing begins for a group of law enforcement officers who called themselves the quote goon squad. what they did to two black men in mississippi. plus, what the abortion pill has done for women post dobbs. that's next on msnbc. for women . that's next on msnbc d its custoe s with social sentiment help you find and unlock opportunities in the market. e*trade from morgan stanley. with powerful, easy-to-use tools, power e*trade makes complex trading easier. react to fast-moving markets with dynamic charting and a futures ladder that lets you place, flatten, or reverse orders so you won't miss an opportunity. e*trade from morgan stanley.

one of the former mississippi law enforcement officers in the self-proclaimed goon squad will now spend more than 20 years in federal prison for his role in a racist attack on two black men during a home raid. hunter elworth, this guy right here, pleaded guilty to shooting one of the victims in the mouth in a mock execution during the attack which merrick garland has called quote, torture. here's what the victim's lawyer said outside of court today. >> goon squad, your day has come. shoot people in their mouth, mississippi. >> antonia, it's good to have you. this is a terrible story.

explain. >> it's a horrifying, almost unbelievable case and many people in the black community in mississippi say it's reminiscent of the stories they would have heard decades ago from their grandparents across the south. what happened is back in january 2023, five deputies and a former police officer entered a home with no warrant, no evidence that a crime was being committed there and proceeded to torture two black men. they used food, weapons, even a sex toy at one point. as you just mentioned, they did a mock execution and ended up shooting michael jenkins in the mouth. to this day, he is still in incredible pain and hasn't made a full recovery. on top of that, when they were done, they then planted evidence on these two men. guns, drugs. they faced charges for months and had to fight to be believed. so we're at this point where people in mississippi are very grateful that these men are now going to be spending it looks like decades behind bars.

but there is a, a long history here and there's also concern that they now have to look back at all the other cases these officers were involved in to find some resolution. >> when you look at 20 plus years, you wonder if that's even enough for what they're accused of doing. what they've been found to, pleaded guilty to doing. what about the others? >> they have also pleaded guilty. so we can expect them to spend a lot of time behind bars. i think this sends a signal of 20 years to this first man. >> of don't be terrible? >> to put it diplomatically. but he was facing the most serious of the charges so we may see something less but what we've heard from both of the victims from the entire community is they want to see the maximum penalty. i think we have some sound from one of the victims. i want you to take a listen. >> for this us past year, hope

they do right. >> that's right. they going to get it. >> hopefully it's best. >> whenever you see these victims speak, you can tell they're still living with the trauma of what happened in january of 2023. that was michael who is still living with the injuries from the shooting. >> you can tell it affects the way he speaks. >> absolutely. the local d.a. is now looking into all of the operations, the cases involved with the goon squad, but this kind of work, it can take years to undo the mess and the harm that these kind of units, these groups that are formed often in police departments, that they end up causing. so there's a long road ahead here. >> it's horrific. another diplomatic way of putting it. antonia, thank you very much. in 2023, a year after roe v. wade, abortions went up. not through medical procedures but instead with medication. abortions in pill form that can come in the mail.

berkeley lovelace jr. who did this reporting joins me now. walk us through what's going on. >> yeah, so the report found that medication abortion was shown to be the most common form of abortion in 2023 accounting for 63% of all abortions. this increase was seen across states but what was interesting was the sharpest increases were for bordering states with complete abortion bans. right now, there are at least 14 states with complete bans. a handful of other states have some kind of restrictions. this report found that states like new mexico which border texas and illinois which borders missouri and kentucky saw sharp increases for medication abortions. some of this has to do with medication abortions becoming more common but the research group told me this means women are overcoming barriers to get care. >> really interesting reporting. thank you very much. >> thank you. the climate in 2023 was the most extreme on record in warmth, greenhouse gases, heat

waves, floods, drought, cyclones and wildfires and surface temperatures and sea level rise. nbc meteorologist bill karins joins me to walk us through what the world meet logical organization called a year that was off the charts. >> 2023 was the year we all waited for. we were waiting to see what would happen when we had a strong el nino. it's when the water in the pacific is warmer or cooler than it should be. it's the number one driver of the climate. we just peaked at the end of last year. these are the rankings. we can measure how strong they were. this last one was about tied for fifth strongest ever. not even close to strong as 2016. by this, you should say okay, last year shouldn't have been as warm as 2016 or even 2015 but when we added it up, here's how the temperatures went. the records, the warmest we've ever had.

notice how current these dates are. this data goes back, the realistic, reliable data goes back to the late 1800s, even the satellite eras from the 1960s. these were 2017, 2015, 2019, 2020. the previous record warmest year was 2016. remember that warmest el nino was 2015 that warmed all the oceans. all that heat was sticking in the water for 2016 but we blew that away last year. look at how much warmer we were than the previous record without even a record breaking el nino. what does that mean for now and what does it mean going forward? our oceans have all that heat from the el nino that is now just ending. our water is extremely warm. every single day for the last year, we've broken the record for the daily warmest average sea surface temperature. so all that heat is in our oceans and we're very fearful of what it could mean for the atlantic hurricane season coming up. we had marine heat waves in half

the ocean basins all because of climate change. it has real life effects to you and me in the u.s. climate change is a world thing but if you went through this last winter, you see how it impacts us here, too. top three warmest winters for the west coast. it's not usual either, the east or the west, but you saw what we went through this winter in the northeast. it is brutal. ice fishing industry, ski industry, snow mobile industries, it has been two horrible years in a row and they're not very optimistic about the future either. >> great news, bill karins. thank you very much. military leaders are testifying on capitol hill as we speak. what they are saying about the withdrawal from afghanistan. going to take you inside the hearing, next. anistan. going to take you inside the hearing, next. long haired ds and living as if he doesn't have allergies? yeah. fast relief of your worst allergy symptoms, like nasal congestion.

general milley. he admitted during his testimony today that it was difficult for them to pinpoint just how many americans were on the ground and find a way to get them out of the country safely. listen to a bit of his testimony in earlier today. >> i'll be candid. i don't know the exact number of americans that were left behind because the starting number was never clear. same is true of at risk afghans. i think some of the afghans were tracked down that worked with us. and i think some of them were killed. every piece of american equipment that the american military owned came out with us with scott miller or he destroyed it on site. and that's a fact. >> reporter: now, milley also went to great pains to explain the options that the biden administration had when it relates to afghanistan. he explained that this was something that a number of presidents had made a priority to get the united states out of afghanistan, to no longer allow this war to go on without any

sort of defentive end. he said there were really no good options to get to that point and president biden made the difficult decision to leave despite the risks associated with it. that's not enough for some house republicans who want more of an explanation and some sort of explanation for the military families whose lives were lost on that day and general milley did apologize to some of those families today saying he will never be able to completely apologize for the fact their loved ones were lost on those days but that they will continue to investigate and look for answers as it relates to that situation that took place there in afghanistan. >> ryan nobles, thank you very much. and united airlines is trying to reassure travelers, folks who might not feel so good about flying after all the problems with boeing. tom costello has the details. >> reporter: united airlines really trying to reassure the public because we're in the

spring break rush and we've had a series of incidents so the message from united is they take this very seriously and they are doubling down on maintenance and safety. here are a few of the incidents that we have been reporting on. we begin with that incident as a flight was leaving houston. a 737 just a few weeks ago and there was fire coming out of the back of the engine that appears to be an engine or compressor stall. usually not a big deal. we had the flight from san francisco losing a tire during takeoff, damaging several cars below. that flight returned to lax on an emergency landing. a different 737 slid off the runway. no injuries. a flight out of sydney, australia to the states forced to turn around midnight after hydraulic fluid was leaking from the underside of the aircraft and last week, a 737 landing in medford, oregon with a panel

missing. again, nobody injured in any of these incidents yet it really underscores the fact all of these are boeing aircraft. a lot of concern about boeing following the door plug issue, of course, and the concern continues to be on maintenance every day. if it's not an issue with the mechanics, it's maintenance. that really is why ceo scott kirby at united airlines is trying to reassure the traveling public that they take this very seriously. united airlines says these are unrelated incidents but they have sharpened their focus. especially on maintenance and safety. united says it's adding an extra day to pilot training, updating training for new mechanics and dedicating more resources to the supplier network management. again, it is all about maintenance. keep in mind that this has been an incredibly safety period for aviation. while these incidents are concerning, there's no single thread that connects them other than maintenance. the last time we had a plane crash, a u.s. carrier in this

country was in 2009. 2023, safest year ever for commercial jet liner traffic. worldwide, not a single crash anywhere in the world last year involving a commercial jet liner. truly is the safetiest way to travel, but these events have clearly unnerved some families as we were very much in the spring break travel season. >> let us hope it continues to be safe. thank you very much. and that does it for this hour. coming up next on katy tur reports, donald trump is lashing out at a new york judge, the one who set his billion dollar, half a billion dollar bond, which he says he can't possibly pay. is it panic or politics? don't go anywhere. don't go anywhere. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in ra and psa.
