reporting. i know you'll be listening to the president and so will we that's going to do it for us today. thank you, all, for joining us see you back here tomorrow same time. same place until then, reporting from new york, i'm ana cabrera. jose diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now good morning, 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific i'm jose diaz-balart we're moments away from president biden speaking live in dublin, ireland, where he'll be addressing both houses of parliament we'll take you there as soon as he begins. plus, new comments from president biden about how close officials are to finding the person responsible for the biggest intelligence leak in years. overnight, a federal appeals court rules an abortion pill can be made available for now, but the ruling comes with restrictions and in south florida, more severe weather is coming after historic flooding shut down an airport, schools, left drivers stranded and desperate for help. plus, former president trump,

back in new york city, where he will be facing questions in a $250 million civil suit, separate from his indictment we begin this hour with a major development in the national fight over abortion rights today, widely used abortion pill mifepristone is still available to patients after a federal appeals court put on hold a judge's decision to suspend the drug's fda approval while leaving some restrictions in place. here in florida, any moment the legislature is expected to pass one of the strictest abortion bills in the country that would ban the procedure at just six weeks. joining us now with more is nbc news senior legal correspondent laura jarrett and with us msnbc news correspondent dasha burns in tallahassee in what appears to be a demonstration of some sort laura, all this is still

difficult to understand because now there is a conflicting ruling from a judge in washington that ordered u.s. authorities to keep mifepristone available across 17 states and d.c. what does this new ruling mean for all of us? >> let's take this in steps. i think it can be a little confusing when you have all these patchworks of different rulings and how they interplay first the practical implications of what the 5th circuitessentiaa have access to this drug because the original approval of mifepristone that still exists as to all the changes that the fda makes over the various years starting in 2016, that's where the action is. it is those loosening of restrictions that the 5th circuit has taked aim at and blocked. what do i mean by those? allowing women to be able to get the pill by mail, essentially allowing women to go further into their pregnancy, when they take the pill. so you used to be only be able

to take it ten weeks, now it is rolled back to seven weeks it is a much more condensed timeline also, they have gutted the ability of the generic pill on the market that came on the market in 2019, that's now off the table you only have access to the brand name also, you have to have more in person visits now. you have to go back to three clinical visits before you can even get access to this pill so, at first it might seem like this was favorable to the biden administration because they said you still have access to the pill but all of those various obstacles i'm laying out is why for at least the plaintiffs that brought this case, they're saying it is a significant victory. they're holding a press call with reporters just now. they said they have no plans to appeal they see this as favorable for them, jose. >> so, dasha, in florida, the state house expected to vote on one of the strictest abortion measures in the country. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: jose, things are getting heated here right now as this abortion bill is on the house floor.

here behind me, there is a group of demonstrators, demonstrating against this bill, as literally behind these doors here is the state house debating this bill on the floor right now somehow, some of the democratic lawmakers who are in the minority here were just out here, joining these demonstrators, they walked off the floor, joined the protesters, they walked back inside, they proposed several amendments to this piece of legislation which, of course, is mostly symbolic. again, this republican-controlled legislature -- this is very likely to pass here. with this national backdrop that laura was just talking about, it is a six-week ban, it is also coming alongside restrictions around telemedicine. restrictions around having women go take these in person visits to see doctors and one of the few states in the

south, it has a 15-week ban, but -- the surrounding states, alabama, mississippi, louisiana, with all-out bans, georgia with a heart beat bill. so, right now once this bill passes in florida, it is essentially shutting the door on abortion here in the south this is what advocates against this bill are saying, and you hear a lot of passion behind me here right now as democrats are in the minority. this is the most they can do right now is stand up and protest. it is likely this bill is going to pass this evening, jose. >> and so, dasha, do we know when that process would indeed be carried out so that's the house, i'm sure that there is the issue in the senate and then the governor >> reporter: so it passed the senate it is now before the house it is expected to pass the house tonight. and will get to the governor's

desk right away. he's out of state tomorrow so it is likely he will sign it sometime early next week now, remember, we do expect at some point that florida governor ron desantis will make a white house bid, and his conservative priorities have been racing through the legislature at record pace. this is a part of that, jose, passing this kind of restriction on abortion. it could be beneficial to him in a primary. though, of course, we also have seen it become a challenge for republicans in the general election we'll see where this ends up taking him when it comes to the landscape, jose. >> dasha, thank you so very much for being with us. it is loud and there you are able to be with us i very much appreciate that. now, laura, the governor of florida, desantis, already expressed support for this bill. can we expect any legal challenges or anything to come from this legislation? >> i'm sure there will be legal challenges the question is whether they'll

be successful. once the supreme court overturned roe v. wade last year, jose, it was essentially open season on any restrictions the state would like to impose we have seen a number of states do that and certainly try to tighten more and more access to abortion and the question is whether they would have any success in front of the supreme court. if they tried to challenge these, it doesn't seem they would. there is some question about whether the supreme court would condone a state trying to actually ban a woman from crossing state lines to get an abortion as we have seen at least idaho try to stay that step. it is not clear the supreme court would condone that if it comes to a six-week ban, i have a hard time imagining a court will block that. i think it would be very difficult to challenge it under the court's current structure. you do not have a federal constitutional right to an abortion in this country anymore. and that's why you see all these states be allowed to pass previability bans.

>> laura jarrett and dasha burns, thank you both very much for being with us this morning. and now to the latest developments on that massive leak of classified defense department documents president biden made his first comments on the issue today during a meeting with ireland's president in dublin. >> there is a full blown investigation going on, as you know, with the intelligence community, the justice department, and they're getting close. i'm concerned that it happened but there is nothing contemporaneous that i'm aware of that is -- >> and this comes as we learn more about who may have leaked these documents. a "washington post" says an interview, two members of a private community on media platform discord, one of whom is a minor, they were both granted anonymity. leaker told them he worked on a military base, but did not reveal which one "the washington post" also says it has reviewed 600 photos of classified documents, most of which have not been made public. nbc newsfirmed the post's repor.

but ken dilanian is with us this morning. what is the latest on this >> good morning. the intelligence community is scrambling, first of all, to try to figure out who this leaker is but also to try to prevent this from happening again and re-evaluating their approach to social media platforms like discord. this is a really thorny issue, jose the fbi would need a warrant to eavesdrop on a private chat room of the kind that was described in that "washington post" article where the documents were first posted so, they would first have to know the crime was being committed. that's a really difficult thing. when people get a top secret security clearance, they do authorize the government to monitor their social media generally. but you have to know where it is and so, if this person didn't disclose that he was doing the stuff in discord, that goes some way to explaining why this stuff was sitting there for as long as a year according to the account given to the "washington post," before the government even

discovered that it was there now, as to president biden's comments that this material was contemporaneous, we're talking about stuff from a few weeks ago. in some cases this is deeply damaging it is showing the russians, for example, where the united states is listening to communications, allowing them to change that communication, so maybe shutting down the channels of intelligence but in terms of the hunt for the leaker, there is a massive investigation going on and there were enough details in that "washington post" story and president biden said they're getting close that i think we can expect some movement in that case very, very soon, jose >> and so, ken, if some of these documents have been out there for, you know, a year or so, it seems as though again, according to the post article, that some of the people that were in that chat group were outside the united states. and so that, in in way, does that kind of -- the question is if you can't check up on people

in the united states, if there are some outside the united states, would that make a difference >> it is a very good point, jose it would make a difference under the fisa law, the government can get sort of very blanket authority to conduct searches of social media platforms, targeting foreigners. that's the key, though it has to be targeting foreigners about foreign intelligence so if there were foreigners in that chat room, that would open it up. they have to know where it is. they have to -- they're facing a huge challenge because places like discord, and other kinds of platforms are proliferating. people can create as many private chat rooms as they want and the government has got to keep track of all this stuff clearly they do not have a handle on who they're hiring and who they are affording top level security clearances, jose. >> so, ken, quickly, what exactly is discord >> discord is -- as i understand it, is a platform for -- that is frequented by gamers who form

private chat rooms and exchange information and private messaging. for a long time the documents stayed in this one private chat room but then they migrated to a different chat room, and then they proliferated. according to the post story, that wasn't the intention of the leaker, but that's exactly what happened, jose. >> ken dilanian, thank you so very much. good to see you. now to breaking news, we're following in paris, right now massive protests are under way over french president macron's pension reform that raises the minimum retirement age from 64 to -- from 62 to 64. let's get right to nbc's ali arouzi in paris this morning what's going on? >> reporter: well, as you can see, there is a large crowd of people out in the area in paris. protesting these reforms it is not the huge crowd of around 1.3 million that was going on the streets in march. several hundred thousand people are expected to come out today before that crucial court decision tomorrow. and people are angry here.

they're holding placards against macron, we saw somebody holding a placard saying the macron virus, and just moments ago there was a massive police presence here. they were firing some tear gas into the crowds, to disperse them every time the police would show up here, jose, the crowd would break into derogatory chants against the police they feel that they're very much against them this is all building up to tomorrow's crucial court decision to see if this constitutional counsel will uphold macron's bill it is very unlikely that they're going to push it down. and we're going to have to wait and see how that affects the mood here in paris, whether people are just going to accept this bill, that's what macron is hoping for he hopes that once this constitutional court agrees with him, that's his hope, then people will quiet down the french reputation is that the more they protest against something the government wants to do, the more likely the

government is to back down there is still everything to play for before that decision. and since the morning, things have been pretty rowdy here. a lot of protesters here stormed the luxury headquarters of lvmh demanding the rich pay more of the taxes, take up more of the slack, but that's not what's going to happen here macron is determined to push these pension reforms from 62 to 64 he says he doesn't mind how unpopular it makes him but what it is doing here, jose, is it is causing a massive schism in society here the two sides can't agree on what they want and it is a lot of french commentators have been saying they just can't hear each other. there is no middle ground between them a lot of commotion here and more to come tomorrow >> ali arouzi in paris for us this morning, thank you very much. president biden is expected to give remarks in ireland any moment now we will of course have that

looking at this trip by president biden through ireland through the personal and political lens his address to parliament, he'll be the fourth u.s. president to speak to the irish parliament. we'll give him a chance to speak to some of the important aspects of the bilateral relationship between the u.s. and ireland for instance, ireland one of the strongest economies in europe and a lot of issues the president wants to discuss there. the support from the irish people for the people of ukraine and welcoming so many refugees president biden saying this morning to ireland's prime minister he knows that's not easy and that kind of support is critical that will be part of what we hear as well as some important domestic political issues here in ireland another opportunity for the president to underscore the u.s. commitment to seeing that peace process, the good friday peace accords remain in effect in northern ireland but we also, of course, jose, are going to see the president talk about his own personal affinity for ireland, likely quote some irish poetry, seamus heedy his favorite poet, likely to quote from him. we understand his widow is

likely to be in attendance as a guest of president biden during the president's events this morning, he once again threatened never to come back to the united states, jose. he talked about how just much the irish presidential residence resembles the white house and joked with the press corps about wanting to stay there. he said yesterday as he was exploring the finnigan branch of the biden family tree that it did feel like he was coming home as he was touring county louth and we'll see that tomorrow when he explores the blewett branch of the family tree. >> what does the visit mean for the relationship between the u.s. and ireland >> it fortifies the bonds between two countries who have been basically very, very friendly from the time of the inauguration of the american republic when irish people worked on the u.s. revolutionary side to give freedom to the united states. but also joe biden is the product of a working class

neighborhood in scranton, pennsylvania, overwhelmingly irish. what he's seeing is the old joe biden turning up in ireland and huge homecoming, 50,000 people tomorrow night no politician in the world that would draw that attention right now. and it is very much a voyage for him, because he never really spent time as much as he's spending this time exploring and talking to the various people he's come across he's been very relaxed he's been very much in tune with the irish mood and it all goes back to john f. kennedy. john f. kennedy made a magnificent speech to the parliament in 1963 and during which he donated the civil war flag, fighting irish brigade, an enormous donation and biden tried to revisit that sacred moment when there was passage between ireland and the united states and realization that they

all fought and died for each other. >> mike memoli, thank you for being with us this morning, appreciate it. former president donald trump is back in new york city for a deposition what we know ahead u'yore watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. *e you're ready for anything. marriage. kids. college. kids moving back in after college. ♪ finally we can eat. ♪ you know you make me wanna...♪ and then we looked around and said, wait a minute, this isn't even our stroller!

23 past the hour right now former president donald trump is being deposed in manhattan in the $250 million civil case brought against him by letitia james who is alleging fraud in the president's real estate practices it marks the first trip back to new york city since his historic arraignment in a separate hush money case last week trump repeatedly denied any wrongdoing calling the case ridiculous joining us now with more is nbc news correspondent rehema ellis live in new york for us. and danny cevallos

so what can we expect from the appearance today >> reporter: we can expect the former president is going to be talking during this deposition in terms of answering questions, unlike what happened back in august when he was first deposed before this case was actually brought up and the charge was filed by the attorney's office i think you got a full screen, i want to show you what according to his attorneys he says president trump is not only willing but also eager to testify before the attorney general today. he remains resolute in his stance that he has nothing to conceal, and he looks forward to educating the attorney general about the immense success of his multibillion dollar company. this was foreshadowed, you might say, because mr. trump was on his social media platform last night and this morning talking about the fact that he looked forward to talking about the great success of the companies that he has that are some of the world's greatest assets. but also in that social media post, he called letitia james,

the attorney general, a racist, he said this and the other investigations against him are absolutely ridiculous. and he also said that he thought this was election interference with disparaging remarks that he made out of those who were sitting in the white house saying that they are in some part seemingly responsible for this so, that was his social media posting before he went into the attorney general's office and then this statement was released about him saying the attorneys saying that mr. trump is eager to have a conversation or maybe not so much a conversation, but answer questions it will be interesting to see if he says some of the things that he said about her on his social media platform jose >> and, danny, meanwhile, the former president filed a lawsuit in federal court against his former attorney michael cohen alleging he violated his attorney client relationship by spreading what he called falsehoods about trump what do you make about this?

>> everyone should read this complaint. it is publicly available because it really gives us an outline and preview what the defense is going to use in the criminal case against michael cohen, if michael cohen ends up testifying against trump. it lays out all kinds of accusations against michael cohen for being not credible, and in addition it really bases the claim on two issues. number one, did michael cohen, when he was an attorney, he's no longer an attorney, but when he was a lawyer, did he violate the ethical rules that apply to all lawyers of confidentiality in other words, did he reveal his client, donald trump's confidences, when he wrote a book or said all the things in public he's been saying. and secondly, did michael cohen violate a nondisclosure agreement he entered into years ago with donald trump by going on this media tour, writing a book and basically speaking out in public against trump? >> and, danny, we're closely

monitoring a lawsuit involving fox news and dominion voting systems where a judge sanctioned fox news and its parent company for withholding evidence in the case what can you tell us about where things stand there >> this kind of thing happens in cases more often than you might think. when they play hide the ball with discovery, because in the american system, everyone is on their honor to go to their own files, pull out documents and voluntarily disclose them to the other side unfortunately, some parties play hide the discovery and they often don't get caught well, as is often the case, a third party apparently informed dominion's lawyers that there was missing documents, information, and the judge was none too happy judges are never happy when they find out that a party is -- has hidden discovery and sanctions can almost be expected the thing is, sanctions can run the gamut. everything from a monetary penalty to even striking the defendant's answer

in other words, saying officially the defendant loses this case doesn't go to trial. that's a drastic remedy, it very rarely happened. if it is egregious enough, it does happen. something that the defendants in this case should be mindful of going forward. >> rehema ellis and dan ny savallos, thank you very much. a dangerous situation is happening in florida right now fort lauderdale airport is closed until tomorrow. more than 25 inches of rain drenched the area in 24 hours, leaving drivers and travelers stranded and just moments ago, president biden announced a new plan to expand healthcare access for dreamers, an important story we'll tell you about next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports.

this is a potentially very big deal >> yeah, jose. you and i have both discussed how healthcare coverage for immigrants, even daca recipients is a very big sticking point in politics and in this case, what the biden administration is proposing is something that you might have thought would have already happened but in this case, hhs is proposing a rule that would make daca recipients already here over 580,000 of them eligible for medicaid, and the chip program set aside for children as we understand, 34% of those migrants still do not have healthcare coverage. even though they have been legally living in the u.s. for many years of course, daca went into place over ten years ago now so now those migrants could be eligible if this rule stays. of course, they could likely face legal challenges, jose. >> yeah. very quickly on this issue,

obamacare specifically states that the undocumented cannot have access to obamacare how is that not a conflict >> they would say the people are not undocumented daca recipients are already here getting other benefits, able to attend school, they're able to have, you know, licenses, they can otherwise participate in society and they have temporary relief from deportation and so this should be another benefit allowed to them. but, yes, there could be an easy legal challenge that we may see because this is something so often the republican states will say is a burden if they have to expand the people that they cover with healthcare because of immigration reform or immigration laws like this, this could be an undue burden for them. >> julia, you have an update on the nbc news exclusive investigation about child labor across the u.s what did you learn >> yeah, that's right, jose. we have brought you the ins and

outs of this labor department investigation that found over 100 children cleaning slaughterhouses in the united states in this year in the middle of the night and going to school by day. some children as young as 13 you can see there, that's a blurred face of a child, but clearly a child cleaning slaughterhouse floors. we also know that dhs has been investigating multiple meatpacking companies across multiple states because they believe there may have been a human trafficking scheme that brought children to work there it wasn't until now that we're actually able to speak to one of the children working inside. i had the opportunity to sit down with a 16-year-old who says he still is working inside those slaughterhouses. he's only 16, he comes from guatemala. here's what he had to tell us. what was work like last night? >> translator: well, it was very tough. >> what do you clean >> translator: i have to clean all the blood of the cows until i finish and i have to leave my

area clean >> now, we're calling him pedro. pssi is the company he works for. they asked for us to disclose his real name so they can immediately fire them. they say that these minors have deceived the company by using fraudulent identities to show that they are of age we, of course, are going to continue to withhold his identity so that he can freely share his story. but we'll have more about those stolen identities and how that process works and other victims, people had their identities stolen that this process can continue we'll have more of that reporting tonight on "nbc nightly news." >> with senator hickenlooper on this program and he sent a letter to a number of ceos demanding child exploitation cease. you're saying it is still happening. thank you. appreciate that. we're also following breaking news right here, where historic flooding has impacted much of south florida. concentrating mostly in broward county fort lauderdale international

airport announced it will remain closed until tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. drivers in fort lauderdale got stranded in massive floods look at this this is a person being rescued from their car joining us now from fort lauderdale is guad venegas it was kind of sunny in south florida this morning but things will change there and it has been 26 inches of rain in fort lauderdale over the past 24 hours? >> reporter: good morning, jose. correct. more than 20 inches around the fort lauderdale area you can see the water behind me. it is a nice day this morning. we haven't seen rain, but the forecast does indicate the rain would return later today you can see the runway behind me, much of it is still under water when we arrived here earlier. this looked like a giant lake. it looks like that but we have seen the water recede somewhat. yet the airport has announced that they will remain closed throughout the end of the day. and, jose, we saw images of the people stuck in those vehicles

around the airport people that were trying to make flights last night ended uptheiy to make it to the airport, only to find out the airport had been shut down. a lot of people sleeping inside the terminals. we just spoke with a family that has been there since 1:00 p.m. yesterday. they couldn't leave because they had just returned the rental when they arrived, they couldn't get it back because people did not -- >> guad venegas, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but we just lost your microphone. so, i appreciate it. we'll work on that but, thank you, guad venegas from fort lauderdale international airport. you're back. i can hear you now. >> okay, jose, as i was saying, i was cut off there briefly, we spoke with family who came here yesterday, they returned the rental they went to the terminal, they

found out their flight was scheduled. they tried to get the rental back, it was not available they say the line was an hour just to get a bagel or water at the few places that were open. they were there overnight with other individuals inside of these terminals. meanwhile, people were also stuck in their vehicles in the roadways the streets around this area so that is what it was like overnight. the rain is expected to return as this airport remains flooded here in fort lauderdale, jose? >> guad venegas, it was worth getting you back up for that information. i appreciate it. up next, we're going to hear the chilling 911 call from an employee who watched a mass shooting unfold with that louisville bank on monday. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.
